He embraced religion at the age of 35, soon after united with the Free Baptist Church at Oneonta Plains of which he has remained a member in good standing until dismissed by death.

A horrible transaction occurred in the eastern part of this town [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on Thursday, May 24th, which resulted in the death of a little girl some seven years old. The parties to the sad occurrence were William Scott, a lad 17 years old, and his half-sister, Elizabeth Doby(?), the victim. The boy had been sent to take the cows to pasture, the little girl accompanying him. He had with him a piece of rope with which he was to bring back some hay. On the way he playfully tied one end of the rope around the body of his sister and the other end to the cow's tail. When the cow had proceeded a short distance in this way followed by the girl, the latter stumbled and fell, which so frightened the cow that she ran off at a furious rate, dragging the poor girl after her. After running some distance, the girl's head struck a solid rock, crushing in the skull and at the same time the cow's tail pulled out, so great was the force of the concussion! The girl was also badly cut around the face, neck and head. she was taken up by the boy and carried home where she breathed but two or three times before expiring. The boy is said to be rather deficient in intellect, and it is not supposed that he realized the imminent danger in which his sister was placed by his mischievous conduct. Delaware Gazette

On Sunday, Oct. 15th, a fatal accident fell upon Mr. S. Crumb of Plainfield [Otsego Co. NY]. with his daughter, he had been visiting his son, Delos Crumb, who lives about a mile from this village [Winfield, Herkimer Co. NY]. Towards evening he started to return home. While crossing what is known as Holdredge Bridge across the Unadilla River, his horse became frightened by a hole in the bridge. the horse started back from the hole and ran the wagon against the rail of the bridge, which at this place was over the approach to the river bridge. the rail gave way, and the buggy went off, swinging under the bridge and dropping out the inmates. The horse followed, but did not strike upon Mr. Crumb, but in floundering about rolled upon the man, crushing in his chest and stomach. Miss Crumb regained her feet slightly hurt, but before she could rescue her father, who from his age and the shock of the fall was unable to move rapidly, the fatal injury was wrought.
