In South New Berlin [Chenango Co. NY] Jan. 27th, Wells Eley Sergeant aged 64 years.

He was a kind faithful husband and father, a sincere honest Christian, respected by all who knew him.  May God bless his sorrow-stricken widow and children.  He has gone over the river to meet loved ones gone before.

There's a beautiful land where the angels dwell, / And our loved ones are garnered forever, / Where songs of deliverance in full anthems swell, / Where sorrows ne'er come, their joys to dispel; / It is only across the river.

Under the shadow of deep affliction, with a sense of loss that cannot be expressed, says the Albany Journal we have to announce the death at his residence in this city [Albany, Albany Co. NY] Jan. 27th, of Luther Tucker, the senior editor and proprietor of the Country Gentleman. He had gone little beyond the Psalmist's limit of three score years and ten, and with a life of less constant exertion might perhaps have looked forward to additional years of repose; but close and continuous application from a very early period had worn upon a constitution naturally not roust, and when his last illness came, his friends were sadly apprehensive of the issue of the conflict.  He had been at the office on the 15th for several hours, although not very well or strong and on the morning of the 16th found himself too ill to leave his bed.  Inflammation of the lungs followed, attended at the last by defective and irregular action of the heart, and when the fever left him, his strength gradually failed. It became more and more difficult to administer either medicine nor nourishment, and finally at an early hour on Sunday morning, so quiet that his last breath could scarcely be detected by those around his bedside, he entered into the rest of the unending Sabbath beyond the grave.  he was in the 71st year of his age.

Bainbridge Republican, Bainbridge, NY, September 19, 1879
