On the 11th inst., Willie Gage, a lad of 12 years of age, son of Franklin Gage, Esq. of this village [Waterloo, Seneca Co. NY] was fatally wounded by the accidental discharge of a pistol from the effects of which he died on Thursday last.  He was in the act of putting the pistol in his pocket when it discharged and part of its contents passed through his leg.  This accident is similar to many we notice almost daily in our exchanges, resulting from a careless use of firearms and is a warning against permitting the use of them by those who are too young to exercise the necessary caution to prevent accidents.

In Connection with the above, it may not be amiss to notice that a ball passed through the slaughterhouse of John Bodee, in this village a few days since very near where he and another person were at work.  The individual who fired it little thought he was so near destroying human life.  Waterloo Observer

the lad who lost his life in the manner above described, was a nephew of Mr. Ansel Berry of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].

Murder at Guilford

A terrible murder was perpetuated at Guilford, Chenango County [NY] on Sunday morning Dec. 27th.  The facts are as follows.  Mrs. Sarah F. Fitch, for a long time a resident of the town of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY], formerly resided at Guilford.  John P. Hall is the husband of Mrs. Fitch's niece and resides at Guilford in the homestead formerly occupied by Mrs. Fitch or her husband.  On Thursday last Mrs. Fitch accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Prince, went to Guilford to spend Christmas with the family of her niece and nephew.

Sunday morning between 10 and 11 o'clock, Hall entered the sitting room where Mrs. Fitch sat reading near the stove.  He carried an ax in his hands and going to the stove he proceeded to heat it for the purpose of "taking the frost out of it," as he said.  While thus engaged, his wife left the room.  A noise was soon heard by those without and some members of the family, re-entering the room, found Mrs. Fitch lying dead upon the floor, with her skull cleft in twain and her brains scattered about the room.  Hall was met at the door quietly wiping the blood from his ax.  He was arrested, but states that Mrs. Fitch fell upon the ax.  He states that he is not "aware that he did it," and attempts to give the impression that he is insane.

Hall is an ill-tempered, dissolute man, and has not for some time resided with his family.  For several months past, however, he has lived at the farmhouse.  Much excitement is manifested in the village of Guilford.  Mrs. Fitch was a wealthy and worthy citizen. Utica Herald

The death of Rev. Elisha L. Abbott which occurred at Fulton, Oswego Co. [NY] Sunday evening the 3d inst., is an event [that] awakened sorrow in many hearts on both sides of the globe.  His remains were brought to New Woodstock [Madison Co. NY] and buried.  Owing to the severity of the storm, no funeral services could be held at that time.  Arrangements were made however to have funeral exercises appropriate to the occasion at Woodstock on Thursday the 20th inst. at 10-1/2 o'clock, A.M. the sermon will be preached by the pastor of the Baptist Church, Rev. Mr. Fulton.  The Rev. Dr. Leonard will deliver an address, probably also the Rev. Mr. Simmons of Fulton.

Soon after Mr. Abbott became a disciple and a minister of Christ, he devoted himself to the work of Christian missions.  Receiving an appointment from the Baptist Board of Foreign Missions, he went to Burma where he labored mostly among the Karena with great zeal and very remarkable success.  But he was compelled by the failure of his health to leave the field and come to a more congenial climate, not to recover, as the event has proved, but to die.

During the nearly nineteen years of his missionary life, this good man has accomplished much for God and the heathen and though there will be great mourning in India, when they hear of his death, yet there and here, his memory will be blessed.

On the 5th inst. of typhoid fever, at Burlington, Iowa, Elisha A. Nickerson aged 16 years, only son of Elder James Nickerson of this village [Cazenovia, Madison Co. NY].

Cazenovia Republican, Cazenovia, NY, Dec. 20, 1854:  We copy the following notices of the death and funeral services of Elisha AS. Nickerson from the Iowa State Gazette:  Mr. Nickerson was a brother-in-law of Rev. Mr. Johnson, and, at the time of his decease, was residing in his family.  He was an amiable and promising youth, just entering upon early manhood.

He had come to our city to spend a season with his friends and to enjoy the advantage of our university, of which he had been a faithful student during the present session up to within a few days previous to his death and had become much attached to the institution and especially interested in the Eonodelphian Society connected with the same of which he had become a member.  Being naturally of a strong constitution and never scarcely sick a day in his life, none could more reasonably than he have expected to have shunned disease and enjoyed long life.  But He who doeth all things wisely here ordered that he must die.  His disease was typhoid fever, of a most malignant form.  Suddenly he was cut down, while yet in youth and full of strength.

The blow will fall like an avalanche upon his aged parents in a distant State, of whom he was an only and devoted son.  May He who tempers the storm to the shorn lamb shield them in this tempest of affliction.

To the afflicted family of his brother in this city, who watched over him so anxiously in his sickness and now so deeply mourn their loss, and to those parents, who have yet to know of the calamity that has befallen their loved and only son, we tender our warmest sympathies.

The funeral services of young Nickerson were largely attended by the citizens and members of the university on the 7th inst. at the Baptist House of worship, conducted by Rev.'s Gasner, Salter and Cowles.  At the conclusion of the services, the procession was formed in front of the church, being led by the bearers and the corpse and then the carriage of the family mourners.  Next in order, and as among the chief mourners of the occasion, came the members of the Eonodelphian Society, and then the professors, teachers and pupils of the several departments of the University, about one hundred in all.  In the rear followed the carriages of citizens and friends who had joined the funeral march to share in the solemnities of the occasion.  Meanwhile the bell of the university toiled forth loudly and solemnly its knells of mourning and as the large procession wound through the streets and up the College Hill to the gate of the grounds, the scene was solemn and imposing in a high degree.  In front of the college the members of the Society and School parted form the procession and entered the edifice to resume their duties. The carriages, however, moved on with the corpse and proceeded to the family tomb of Judge Mason, where the body was temporarily deposited to await orders from the parents, either for its burial in this city or removal to the family graveyard in New York.  

Cazenovia Republican, Cazenovia, NY, December 27, 1854:  The remains of Elisha A. Nickerson reached this place last Monday morning from Burlington, Iowa, where he died on the 5th inst.  His funeral was attended yesterday, at half past ten o'clock A.M. at his father's residence.  A sermon on the occasion will be preached next Sunday afternoon in the Baptist church.  [Elisha A. Nickerson, d. 5 Dec. 1854, buried in Evergreen Cemetery, Cazenovia, NY]

Waters Family Reunion, 1879

 Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, November 13, 1879

Waters Family of New York State

In the year 1798, Capt. Joseph Waters, who had served his country in the Revolutionary War, removed with his family from Tolland Co., Conn. (Hebron being their native place) to this State and settled in the town of Franklin, Delaware County [NY].  Of a family of eight children, three sons and two daughters lived and died in that vicinity and were in turn laid with the parents who had long before preceded them to the quiet rest of the village cemetery.  The third son, Russell [Waters], came to Coventry [Chenango Co. NY] in 1808, being then twenty-one years old, and having taught school for a year or two at the East Corners, now known as Coventryville; purchased the store owned by Dea. Noah Richards, which then stood upon the site of George Miner's present residence [in 1879].  October 10th, 1811, he was united in marriage to Roxey, daughter of John Miles, an early settler of the town, and for a few years occupied a house just west of B. Miles tavern, and which some of us remember was "gone to decay," and torn down a few years since.  In the meantime, Mr. Richards had bought and was living upon a farm a short distance south of the "corners;" had built a commodious dwelling house and made various improvements upon it.  (By the way the first settlement made upon said farm was by Capt. Juliand, father of Joseph Juliand, 1st, late of Greene, and in a log house a few rods below where the present [in 1879] "old red house" stands the latter was born).  Dea. Richards purchased it of Mr. Juliand; Mr. Waters of Deacon Richards in 1819 and spent the rest of his life in the pleasant home by the brookside.

In 1816, Epaphras [Waters] youngest son of Joseph, and a soldier of the War of 1812, followed his brother Russel to Coventry, married Harriet [Throp] daughter of Rev. Charles Thorp, pastor of the church at that time and for a while lived near his brother, but when Mr. Thorp accepted a call to another parish, he purchased the homestead of him and remained upon it over forty years, when his family, being broken up by death and marriage, he sold to Mr. Morgan, the present occupant [in 1879], made his home with his children for a few brief years and died at the residence of his son-in-law, Rev. L. Yale, of Guilford, and was buried in the old churchyard at Coventryville, April  1873, aged 78.  Of his family, Charles Thorp [Waters], his eldest son, died when the bloom of a few summers had marked his years, while the youngest child and only son was in 1858, at the age of fifteen, suddenly killed by a falling tree. The father's heart was almost broken by this blow, for many fond hopes were centered in the idolized and promising boy.  The gentle mother, bore silently her grief and scarce a year had fled, ere she was laid to rest reside her darling Willie.  Catharine [Waters] the second daughter, married Dr. Seely of Woodhull, N.Y. and died at that place in 1868.  Two daughters are now living [in 1879].  Anna Waters, following her brothers, came to reside here, and in 1824 married Moses Miles (son of John) and died in May 1860, leaving one daughter.

Of the family of Russell, three daughters and one son are living.  Two sons and a daughter died in infancy.  One fair, gentle girl, Ann Eliza [Waters], remembered through the long years for her sweet face and quiet manners, died suddenly, February 1839, at the age of nineteen.  Charles Russell, quite early entered the store of his cousin, William Waters, of Franklin [Delaware Co. NY], and as the result of faithful service and upright character, became associated with him in his business, and life seemed very bright before him.  But there came the sudden conflict with the triumph of disease, from which tender ministrations or prayers could not save, and the record is made "died March, 1856, aged 27 years."  At the earnest request of friends with whom he had so long resided, his remains were placed in the new and beautiful cemetery of that place.  Long before, in 1835, at the age of 48, the father had died.  During a successful business life, he also gained the confidence and esteem of his townsman and was elected to office in both town and State.  But in the prime of manhood he was taken away, leaving his family and affairs to the guardianship and direction of his son-in-law, Charles Pearsall, who has ever since resided upon the old homestead.  How well he has done, how faithfully cared for and attended to the interests of the family, their love and respect for and confidence in him, attest more than words.

The widow of Mr. Waters survived him 38 years and died at her old home in 1873, aged 84.  In October following, the oldest daughter, wife of Hon. C. Pearsall, died, causing a sad vacancy in the family circle.  In 1876, he married Mrs. R. Durham and within the year has removed to a cozy cottage across the "Brook," leaving the "old red house" occupied by his Frank C. Pearsall, and to this same home where so much pleasure and sorrow has been shared, the surviving members of these three branches of the Waters family were, Thursday, October 9th invited.  It seems a singular coincidence, though unnoted at the time, that it came within one day of being the anniversary of Russell Waters and Roxey Miles, who were married 68 years ago.

No lovelier day could have been desired.  the forests were glorious with the rich tints of autumn, the sky wore its softest blue, and the sun had the warmth and glow of summertime.  Before noon the guests had arrived and met with a warm welcome form F.C. Pearsall and lady. The rooms were beautifully decorated with evergreens, while the loveliest ferns and flowers graced tables, stands and brackets.  It seemed wonderful that so many had escaped the early and severe raid of the frost.  Above the portrait of C. Pearsall, which looked upon us from the walls of the dear old parlor was the "Welcome Home" tastefully wrought with evergreens.

With recounting the games of "I spy," and "blindfold," had there "In the days when we were young," with reminiscences of days sad, or glad, the hours sped quickly and ere we were aware, the summons came to repair to the dining room, and here the mysterious workings of the culinary department were brought out in perfection.  We cannot enumerate and we will only say that the tables were beautiful with flowers, tempting with all that could be desired for food, crowned and apples, pears and grapes.

In honor of the distinguished artist present, George W. Waters of Elmira [Chemung Co. NY], two paintings were brought from the "chambers" and placed conspicuously upon the walls of the dining room.  One a landscape, the other a portrait.  As it was that of a "maiden fair," it might have been designed as the ideal of his boyhood dreams.  If so, they have culminated higher than his youthful imagination pictured, as the pleasant face of the lady by his side proved.  This detracts not the least form the talent of the youthful aspirant, for his first attempts were pronounced "very good."  As they rested within their framework of green, we thought - so the laurels of fame are entwining themselves about the later productions and name of our artist.  

As all things have a beginning, so this dinner began by asking the Divine blessing upon it, and after doing unbounded justice to all the good things and injustice to ourselves, there cane also the ending. An appropriate and fervent prayer was offered by Rev. L. Yale. then all repaired to the sitting room and parlor again.  Then came music: B.F. Taylor's exquisite poem "The Magical Sole" very finely and feelingly sung by Mrs. Lockwood; a song or two by Misses Anna and Fannie Benedict, followed with others by Mrs. L. all joining in chorus.  At last good wishes and goodbyes and the day was over.  Three generations were present.  All of the first are "over the river."  These were guests unseen, but we felt their presence.  We remembered the dear uncles and aunts, the sweet young faces that grew so strangely beautiful in death, the bright, pleasant faced boy of ten, Charlie, son of George Waters, so recently drowned in Cazenovia Lake and knew there were heartstrings vibrating over and anon to a wall of sorrow, but the lips echoed it not, or added one note of sadness to the day's enjoyment.

Those present allied to the three families by birth and marriage were--

To Russell:  Our entertainers - Hon. C. Pearsall and wife, Frank C. Pearsall and wife, and daughter Mamie.  Guests:  Mrs. Roxey Waters Benedict, Unadilla; John P. Thorp, Esq., Mrs. D.E. Waters Thorp, Coventry; George W. Waters, Mrs. Sarah Waters, Little George Whitman Waters, Elmira; Dr. J.E. Bartoo, Mrs. Florence Thorp Bartoo and little sons Ralph and Dwight, Coventry; Leroy W. Treadway, Mrs. Emily Treadway, Columbus, O.; Mrs. Ella Treadway Stoughton and son, Charlie Stoughton, Greene; Peter H. Parker, Mrs. Addie Pearsall Parker, Anna and Charlie Parker, Coventry.

May blessings rest upon all who contributed to make the gathering so pleasant at the old homestead.

Mr. Editor:  We would like to notice in our village journal the reception given Mr. W.R. Price and wife on Wednesday evening of last week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G.S.

She is a lady very highly spoken of.  the many friends and presents that clustered around the bridal altar, proves the high esteem in which she, as a lady and teacher, was held.  We think they are well matched, both in form and character.  May their days on earth be many and their life be that of the just, which shineth more and more unto the perfect day.  E.H.

_____________________

At his residence in Kortright [Delaware Co. NY] on Friday the 18th inst., Dr. Gaius Halsey in the 44th year of his age.

Dr. H. had long been lingering under an organic affection of the stomach and liver, and it was evident to himself and to those conversant with the nature and tendency of his affection, that his earthly career was about being brought to a termination.

The subject of the foregoing notice had been in the practice of his profession in Kortright for about eighteen years and by his uniform success in the capacities of physician and surgeon had rendered himself among the most eminent of his profession.

Dr. H. possessed talents of no common order, which were highly improved by his taste for reading and reflection.  As a kind, affectionate and humane physician, he was generally beloved.  In his practice he obeyed the calls of the indigent as well as of the affluent.  In his domestic relations of life, he manifested the most satisfactory evidence of his disinterestedness and attachment to those to whom he was connected by the kindred ties of husband, father, friend and neighbor.

In this dispensation of a Supreme Being, Death has severed the ties which bound husband to wife and rendered four children orphans.

His funeral obsequies were performed before a numerous and attentive audience on Sunday the 20th inst., by the Rev. William McAuley, from Job xxx, 23.  And if the countenance is any index to the heart, all present showed how deeply they were interested in the loss of the deceased.

News Item

Cherry Valley Gazette, Cherry Valley, NY, March 26, 1862:  The battle at Newbern, N.C. told more fearfully upon the citizens of our county [Otsego Co. NY] than any other engagement during the war.  Many of the members of Co. I of the 51st Regiment were from this county.  Lieut. George D. Allen of Westford [Otsego Co. NY] was killed and Charles G. Roberts of Cherry Valley, mortally wounded.  Lieut. Allen was a young man of talent and energy and by his activity and upright conduct had endeared himself to an extensive circle of friends.  From the commencement of our difficulties, his whole heart was in the cause of his country and the willingness with which he met an early death in its support is the best evidence that his sentiments were deeply fixed.

Charles G. Roberts, of this place, at the breaking out of the war, resided near Fairfax Court House, Va. but was sent north by his father to avoid being impressed into the rebel service.  He resided when here with Elijah Eaton of this village.  when found, he had a bayonet stab in the neck and bullet wound in the side from which he has since died.

Capt. R.D. Johnson was seriously wounded.  Among the wounded we also notice Cyrus A. Powers and Rufus Pettie, we believe of Westford; and George Chase, we are informed, of Westville [Otsego Co. NY].  We notice also that the following members of Co. I were wounded:  R.E. Sperry, George Kane and J.B. McKitchen, but whether any of them were residents of this county we are uninformed.

Death

Died at Greenville, N.C. on the 30th of Sept. after an illness of nine days, Mr. Seth W. Stoddard aged 28 years, eldest son of James Stoddard 2d of Lisle, Broome Co. N.Y.

He graduated at Union College in July 1837, and in September he revisited the south, having previously spent a year in Virginia.  During the present year he resided at Raleigh, N.C. and the last of August removed to Greenville to take charge of the Academy in that place.  He had discharged the duties of his station but three weeks, when he was attacked by the prevailing disease of the climate, a bilious fever, and soon fell a victim.

To his friends and bereaved relatives, the event was as unexpected as overwhelming.  His personal appearance and manners were peculiarly calculated to win the affections of all.  To a mind of a high order, were united decision and energy of character and an amiable and affectionate disposition.  Over all these a Christian spirit shed a bright luster, and he died as he lived trusting in the merits of a Savior and with a firm attachment to those truths which have been for years the guide of his life. He was a member of the Presbyterian church and designed to enter the ministry, but death has blasted the hopes of his friends and destroyed his prospects of future usefulness.  His death in the prime of life and when nearly prepared to engage in his profession, is one of those mysterious events, the reasons of which lie hid in the counsels of the Almighty.  To Him let men bow in humble resignation.  To all the members of the family, the shock is one of unusual severity.  He was a dutiful son and affectionate brother and felt that his parents, now in the winter of life, were committed to his own peculiar care.  But he is taken from the evils of life and now rejoices on high.  Of him it may be written, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
