SMITH: In Weedsport, Cayuga County [NY] Oct. 10, Mr. Joseph S. Smith aged 68 years.
It is with heartfelt sorrow we are called upon to record the decease of an old and valued friend. But a few short months since we visited him at his home in Cayuga, and found him apparently in the enjoyment of health, full of life and energy and meditating plans for the future. But the great reaper, Death, who respects neither old nor young has gathered him in, and we shall look upon the familiar face of "Uncle Joseph" no more. He was a native of Sherburne, Chenango Co. [NY], his father having been one of the original pioneers in the settlement of that town. He passed nearly all the days of his youth and manhood in the place of his nativity; but realizing that old age was creeping on and feeling a desire to spend the remnant of his days where he could enjoy the society of a much-loved twin brother, he removed to Weedsport about one year ago. Shortly after his removal there, his brother died. This sudden bereavement doubtless hastened his progress to the tomb. He has left a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Possessed of a warm and generous heart, those who knew him best respected and loved him most. A tale of suffering and misfortune ever enlisted his warmest sympathies and the poor and the friendless never appealed to him in vain.

The Meacham - Horton Crime
Last week we gave an account of the death of a Miss Belden at Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] the arrest of Dr. Meacham of that place, for producing an abortion and the implication of Charles F. Horton of Gilbertsville [Otsego Co. NY]. A Norwich correspondent of the Utica Herald, says of the affair:"
Charles F. Horton, one of the accused in the Belden abortion case, appeared today before Judge Jenks on his own motion and gave bail for his appearance in the sum of $500. George F. Marsh of Bainbridge gave bail in the sum of $2500. Dr. Meacham has not yet put in an appearance or given bonds but will most likely do so within a day or two. The next grand jury of the county assembles on the 8th of September, before which time nothing further of course can be done with the parties. Altogether the affair presents a sad chapter in the criminal history of Chenango and especially so if the persons implicated are really guilty.
For a number of years Mr. Horton was a partner in a leading business house in Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] and somewhat prominent in church and society matters, but three years ago this spring he left this village for Butternuts [Otsego Co. NY], his present place of residence. He is well connected in Norwich, having two sisters residing in this place, besides other relatives and many friends, also a sister at Oxford and relatives in different parts of the county. He was always regarded as the "strictest of his sect," and the very last person from all his associations and surroundings who could ever be led to the commission of the terrible crime with which he is charged. His father, of whom mention has been made, is one of the few remaining pioneers of Chenango, aged 92, and one of the best men that ever lived in this county. Mr. Horton has an estimable family, a wife and two interesting daughters.
As we go to press, a telegram reaches us from Bainbridge that Dr. Meacham "has taken leg bail, and it will be a cold day before he is seen again."
Is this site searchable? I am specifically interested in Smyrna, NY and the Simon family from the early to late 1800s, starting with Joseph Simons. This farm received a Century Farms award in 1963. I want to have a clearer picture of who was in this generational family.
