In Preble, N.Y. [Cortland Co.], on the 27th ult., Lottie Ide, wife of Samuel C. Van Camp, aged 25 years and 11 days.
We desire in this time of our sorrow and bereavement to bear testimony to the power of the religion of the gospel to sustain and comfort in affliction when even earthly refuge fails. The promises of God, have long been precious to us, but such words as "my grace shall be sufficient for thee" and "as thy day is, so shall thy strength be," never had such significance as now. These promises have been verified when we most needed their fulfillment. On the last Sabbath of the year we received a telegram saying, "Lottie died this morning at nine o'clock." These tidings were entirely unexpected and for a few moments we were dumb, we opened not our mouths, for we knew the Lord had done it. But very soon, we were enabled to kiss the rod which had smitten us, and to say--we trust with resignation--not our will but thine O God be done. The next morning while it was yet dark, we commenced our long and sad journey, but we were not left desolate for the comforter was near, bringing to our remembrance, precious words of Him who spake as never man spake and who alone can sustain his sorrowing suffering ones. We feared lest our strength should fail when called to look upon the form of our beloved child, but God in his mercy upheld us, and gave us the sweet assurance, that our child was safe on the glorified shore, in the presence of that Saviour whom she had honored and loved from childhood. A sweet smile rested upon her face, indicating as we thought the state of mind in which she passed from earth to Heaven. Then came fear concerning the burial scene, will grace sufficient be given to keep husband, parents, brother and sister form sinking? Yes. To the praise of God's goodness be it said, the coffin, the shroud and the grave were disarmed of their usual terrors and we laid our firstborn, a young wife and mother beneath the snow, while a voice seemed to say, "I am the resurrection and the life, and because I live thy child shall live also."

Miss Margaret McCormick, 45, died in the Binghamton City Hospital a few days ago of body burns suffered early the morning of July 27 when fire swept the interior of the home of Dr. Martin Weiss, Binghamton [Broome Co., NY]. Miss McCormick, a domestic in the Weiss household, was carried out of the dwelling by firemen who found her unconscious in a first-floor hall. She had tried to escape the flames which drove her from her second-floor bedroom, located over the first-floor room where the blaze started. Burned less seriously, but injured when she dropped to the ground from her second-floor bedroom at the front of the house, the physician's wife, Gertrude, was discharged form City Hospital earlier this month. Dr. Weiss, who lost all his medical equipment in the blaze, was rescued from the bedroom window by firemen who carried him down a ladder. The blaze caused damage approximating $5,000 when it burned out virtually every room.

Bainbridge News & Republican, August 31, 1944
New York State Police are seeking a driver of a vehicle which struck and instantly killed John Laux, 63, of Stamford [Delaware Co., NY], near his home on the Grand Gorge-Stamford highway at about 8:30 o'clock Saturday night as he was walking on the road with Holvar Tollessen, 65, of North Harpersfield. Mr. Tollessen also was struck by the vehicle but escaped with minor abrasions of the left hand and arm. He was attended by Dr. Jerome Kogan, of Stamford, who on arrival pronounced Mr. Laux dead. His body was taken to the Walter Hall Funeral Parlor at Stamford. The police learned that Mr. Laux and Mr. Tollessen, employees of the Highway Department at Harpersfield, had spent the afternoon together at Stamford. In the afternoon they went to Mr. Laux's home and after supper the two men started for the village. Mr. Tollessen told the State Police that they were walking along the right side of the highway arm in arm with their backs toward traffic on their side. He said the first he knew, Mr. Laux had disappeared and he was alone. He walked down the road about 50 or 60 feet and found his friend lying beside the highway. It appeared that the victim had been rolled or dragged about 60 feet along the gravel shoulder of the highway. His head was smashed and it is believed that his death was instantaneous.
