Death of A.E. Rathbun
RATHBUN: At his residence in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] on Wednesday morning, March 19th, 1879, of consumption, Mr. Albert Eugene Rathbun aged 38 years. Funeral services at his late residence, on Piano Street, Friday at 1 P.M.
Although not unexpected, the announcement of the death of A. Eugene Rathbun, which occurred at his residence in this village this (Wednesday) morning, will be read with sorrow by a large circle of friends and acquaintances in this and adjoining Counties.
Mr. Rathbun was born in New Lisbon, Otsego County [NY] March 27th, 1848. His youth was passed in that vicinity and when he came to manhood, he married a daughter of C.G. Smith of Laurens [Otsego Co. NY]. Some ten years since he removed to this village [Norwich], and for a time he traveled for the late W.H. Church. Afterwards he was associated with his brother-in-law, E.L. Smith, in the grocery trade, and still later with L.A. Burr, in furniture. His health failing, he withdrew from business and in the fall of 1875 went to Texas, hoping to benefit his condition, where he remained during the winter. Returning home the following summer, evidently much improved in health, he entered the employ of William Breese, as assistant in his furniture warerooms, where he continued until compelled by disease to relinquish his position. Consumption had marked him for her own, and relatives and friends witnessed with sadness his wasting from day to day, with no possible relief. For many weeks past he has been confined to his house but has borne his sufferings with remarkable firmness and his last days, like his life throughout, were peaceful. He was conscious to the last and prepared for the great change which awaited him.
A good citizen, respected and esteemed for his many excellent qualities - a steadfast friend and genial companion - an affectionate and indulgent husband and father - Eugene Rathbun has gone from among us, mourned by all who knew him. A widow and two sons survive him, who have the sympathies of the community in their bereavement. He was a member of Laurens Lodge, F.&A.M. of the Chapter and of Norwich Commandery, K.T.
Funeral services will be held at his late residence on Piano Street, on Friday afternoon at one o'clock. After services at the house, his Masonic brethren will take charge of the funeral, and his burial will be conducted according to the ritual of that order.
