Mt. Upton, Chenango Co. NY:  Death has again invaded our quiet valley and claimed for its victims the young and the middle-aged.  Merton, son of Edson Winsor, aged 18 years, died of inflammation of the bowels on the 25th ult.  His funeral was largely attended by young people, the interment taking place at White Store [Chenango Co. NY].  Very unexpected was the announcement on the morning of the 27th ult, that Mrs. [Elizabeth Ann] Corker was dead.  She attended church on Sunday and on her return had a hemorrhage of the lungs, but her physician and family did not fear a return as she felt better than usual on Monday.  Soon after retiring she was again taken with bleeding and died almost instantly.  She had been a resident of this place but a year but had endeared herself to many by her gentle spirit. She was a devoted Christian and leaves a husband and three daughters, one the wife of Rev. Mr. Boman.  Her father, a minister in his 90th year, resides at Seneca Falls.  Her remains were taken to Lincklean [Chenango Co. NY] for interment, her former home.

Saturday night, 24th ult. at about seven o'clock, William Zimmerman, a German (known as the bone-picker) was on his way from Earlville [Madison Co. Ny] with a load of bones.  When opposite his son's house, where he resided, he was about to turn to drive into the yard. At that point there is an embankment of some ten or twelve feet off the road descending towards the canal.  Zimmerman was on foot and on the side next to the embankment.  In turning the wagon was cramped and overturned, throwing the load onto him and crushing him down the embankment.  His back was broken either by the load or fall, and when taken up he was found to be dead.  His age was sixty-four.  He was a widower but leaves two sons surviving him.  Sherburne News
