In this town [Binghamton, Broome Co. NY], on the 23d ult. Mrs. Henrietta Spendley aged 19 years, wife of Mr. Robert Spendley and daughter of Mr. Anson Amsbry.

The deceased was singularly lovely and pleasant in her life, and her early and sudden death has cast a gloom over many hearts that will not soon pass away.  though life was bright before her, yet, unrepiningly she obeyed the summons to go hence, and like the morning flower in the sun's too fervent heat, she "meekly bowed her head and died."  Tenderly will her afflicted family and numerous friends cherish her memory, for of her it may emphatically be said:  "None knew her but to love her, / None named her but to praise."

The Norwich correspondent of the Binghamton Republican says:  Mr. and Mrs. Burdette Belding, who reside on a farm near the village of Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY] eight miles from here, went for a visit to New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] about Christmas and left four children at home to look after the house and chores.  Pearl [Belding] a little girl about nine years of age, was engaged in getting breakfast and attempted to remove the kettle in which she was boiling potatoes.  Finding the pail hot she took hold of it with the apron or dress and in removing the kettle her clothing took fire.  She attempted to run to the barn where the older child was engaged in doing the chores and as soon as she got outdoors, she lay down and rolled over in the snow.  Dr. C.B. Palmatier, who was called said the little girl repeated the operation four times before she reached the barn and every time she rolled over supposed that the fire was out. Before the fire was extinguished she was so badly burned that she died at 4 p.m. Dec. 26(?) from her injuries.
