A dear mother died at the residence of George Benjamin, Morris [Otsego Co. NY], on the 15th of December 1869.
This sad story I will tell / to all that wish to hear it; / Tis very true and known quite well, / By those who try to cheer it.
I know 'tis sad to lose a friend, / Though I have only lost one brother; / But now her work is at an end, / For God has taken home a mother.
She's standing on the peaceful shore, / While we for her are weeping; / And we shall see her here no more, / For her body in the grave is sleeping.
But in the parlor is a treasure yet, / 'Tis her picture in its place; / And I will often go and sit, / And gaze upon her face.
The morning that she went away, / She kissed us all good-bye / And then she went away to stay, / And went away to die.
Now the time seems so very long, / My tongue can scarcely tell, / And I often sing the good old song, / She used to love so well.

A Terrible Calamity
A frightful accident occurred in a deep cut on the Syracuse and Chenango Valley Railroad, about one and a half miles north of Earlville [Madison Co. NY] on Monday morning [the] 19th. A large gang of men were at work in the cut, which is on the side of a hill, and on one side is forty or fifty feet deep, when, without a moment's warning, the steep bank caved in, burying about twenty of the men and injuring many who were not caught under the bank. The bank was composed of loose shell rock, with many large boulders which in rolling struck several of the workmen, doing them serious injury. As soon as possible all the available force was set to work to exhume to bodies of those buried under the bank. Of those taken out on Monday, three were dead and one so badly injured that he cannot possibly live. One more is known to be still under the bank and of course must be dead. Of those killed, two were horribly mutilated, the head of one being crushed into a shapeless mass and the body of the other having been caught between two large rocks, mangling him beyond description. Several of those who escaped with their lives had legs or arms broken and many are otherwise severely injured. It is said that the survivors are terribly excited and lay the responsibility of the terrible accident upon the "boss," who refused to listen to those who warned him that the bank was unsafe. We are informed that Hogan, one of the killed, remonstrated against the danger on the morning of the accident, but was informed by the "boss" that if he did not choose to work in the cut he could quit.
