Mrs. Marcia L. Post passed on to her eternal rest Monday, March 19, 1917. She was born Oct. 2, 1840, being one of the seven children of Mr. and Mrs. S. Hull Bush, a well known family among the pioneer settler of Bush Hill and Union Valley. Early in life Mrs. Post was converted and joined the M.E. Church and has always kept her membership in the church of her childhood. In 1872 she became the wife of Jasper Post, who for many years conducted a grocery business in Union Valley [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY]. He died in March, 1901. One son, Lyman L., was born to them. Mrs. Post is survived by her son, his wife, and five grandchildren of Sherburne, N.Y., one sister, Mrs. W.H. Ireland of Union Valley, and several nephews and nieces. The funeral was held from the home in Sherburne March 21, and the casket placed in the vault at that place. Mrs. Post was of a quiet, retiring nature, loving the best things of life and eager for kind friends; an unselfish wife and mother, and a loyal sympathetic friend. she never criticized unkindly, but was always ready with a kind thought or looked for an excuse, if an acquaintance was criticized in her hearing. Never of robust health yet she remained able to care for herself until the past two years, when she became nearly blind and quite helpless at times. During this time she had been cared for by her son and his family. Her interest and quiet words of council and comfort, will be greatly missing by her immediate family, and a large circle of friends in Norwich, and in this place where her entire life was passed.

Sylvester D. Clark, a lifelong resident of Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], died from pneumonia on Friday morning last. He was 71 and died on his birthday. Saturday afternoon his remains were lying in his home in this village an overheated chimney called out the fire department and his home was saved from destruction by the prompt arrival of the firemen and the use of chemicals. Mr. Clark was well known throughout this community. For many years he was a successful farmer living on Mt. Pleasant but for the past two years he has resided on lower Pearl street in this village. He enlisted in the 114th Regiment N.Y. Volunteers and honorably served his country during the civil war participating in many battles. His service left him with a weak heart which failed to support him during the attack of pneumonia. Mr. Clark was a genial and worthy man. He was greatly interested in everything pertaining to Bainbridge. He attended all public gatherings and gave his support to every worthy movement. He was a strong Republican never missing an election or a Republican meeting. His friendliness for people was marked and he was ever ready to help and do kindness. His sickness began two weeks ago, but recovering he ventured out causing a relapse. He was a loyal member of the Susquehanna Lodge of this village. He is survived by a wife an ddaughter. The funeral was held Monday afternoon, Rev. Frank James officiating. The Masons of the lodge and H.H. Beecher Post, of which Mr. Clark was a prominent member, attended in a body. The coffin was draped with the flag for which the deceased valiantly fought. As the funeral procession moved through South and West Main streets to Green Lawn cemetery [Bainbridge, NY] the colors of the flag were distinctly seen from the hearse, and it was an impressive sight, realizing that another one of the heroes of the civil war had passed to his reward.
