 Chenango Telegraph, Norwich, NY, May 6, 1846

Marriages

In Hamilton [Madison Co. NY] on Wednesday morning last by Rev. Mr. Brooks, John Wier Esq. Attorney and Counsellor of Law of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] to Miss Mary K. [Foote] daughter of John Foote, Esq. of the former place.

Death

Suddenly in Sherburne, Chenango County, N.Y. on the 19th ult. by the rupture of a blood vessel, Mrs. Fanny Chipman aged 28 years.

For more than ten years, Mrs. Chipman had been an esteemed member of the Congregational Church in this place.  Her death, though sudden and unexpected to herself and relatives did not find her unprepared.  In her last moments, she expressed her confidence in the Saviour and her resignation to his holy and divine will, and we doubt not rests in the bosom of him in whom she had believed.

In Mrs. Chipman's death, her relatives and especially her family have sustained an irreparable loss.  she has left a deeply afflicted husband and three small children to mourn their sudden and unexpected bereavement.  But they mourn not as for one without hope "For the righteous have hope in his death." "There remaineth therefore a rest for the people of God."

News Item

Mysterious Disappearance

Benjamin P. Johnson, Esqa. of this village [Rome, Oneida Co. NY] left here on the morning of the thirtieth day of March by railroad for Albany.  He stayed at the American Hotel at Albany overnight and the next morning took the steamboat for Newburgh, where he spent the afternoon and then took the small boat, plying between Newburgh and New York for that city.  The clerk of the boat recollects that on the arrival of the boat at New York (at the foot of Warren Street) about two o'clock on the morning of the first of April, Col. Johnson went ashore with his carpetbag (the only baggage he had with him) in his hand.  Since that time, nothing has been heard of him.  When he left home, he informed his family and others that he should only be absent a few days.  His continued absence is very mysterious and has involved his family and friends in the greatest distress. Roman Citizen.
