George A. Brossway

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  After an illness extending over a period of seven months, George A. Brossway died at his home on Columbia avenue Wednesday afternoon, aged 32 years.  Although his death was not unexpected for several days, it was a shock to his family and many friends.  Deceased was born in St Albans, Vt., January 21, 1874, son of Mitchell and Mary Legrand Brossway.  Fourteen years ago he came to Norwich with his parents and soon after he entered the O.&W. machine shops and learned the machinist's trade which he has since followed.  For three years he had charge of the night force at the shops.  He was a good workman and enjoyed the respect and esteem of all of his associates.  About seven months ago he suffered a shock and since that time had been confined to his home most of the time.  On Easter Sunday he was taken to the home of his parents adjoining his own to spend the day and during the afternoon was taken worse and gradually failed until the end.  He was a most patient sufferer during his illness.  A kind husband, a loving son and brother and a good friend, he will be greatly missed in the family circle and by a host of warm friends.  He was a past sachem of Whaupaunaucau Tribe of Red Men, a member of the Knights of Columbus and the Machinists' Union.  In June, 1904, he married Miss Anna Brouilette, of St. Albans, Vt., who survives, with his parents, two brothers, Edward and William, and eight sisters, Clara, Anna, Emma, Sarah, Nellie, Mary, Gertrude and Mrs. Albert Bowker, all of Norwich.  The funeral will be held from St. Paul's Church Saturday morning at 10 o'clock.  Rev. Fathers Hart and Curtin officiating.  Burial will be made in St. Paul's Cemetery [Norwich, NY].

Mrs. Charles Pearsall Sweet

A great shock occurred to the neighbors of Mrs. Charles Pearsall Sweet of Searles Hill, Monday morning, Jan. 31st, when they heard of her death which was unexpected to all.  She only lived three days after she was taken violently ill, last Thursday afternoon of gall stones.  Her age was 53 years and five months.  She was born and had always lived on the farm where she died.  Beside her husband she is survived by her sister, Miss Eveline Pearsall.  She was a faithful member of the Methodist church and a kind and loving neighbor, ever ready to help in time of need.  The funeral services were conducted by Rev. G.E. Van Woert at the home on Wednesday, at 11 o'clock and burial was in Green Lawn cemetery, Bainbridge.

 

Nancy J. (Hovey) Bradley
Jan 24, 1837 - Nov. 27, 1897

Nancy J. Hovey, wife of David Bradley, died at her home in Guilford [Chenango Co., NY] Saturday, Nov. 27th, aged 61 years.  After a long year's suffering and weariness the death angel came and bore our loved one far away beyond the cares and trials of life.  As we look back through the changing years we see her as a faithful wife, loving mother and true friend.  Loving friends have gathered often during her sickness and striven faithfully to check the hand of the spoiler, but God knew best.  he saw what we could not, that beyond it all unseen hands were beckoning her away and some way it needs God's chiseling hand to bring out the beautiful patient life that is now forever at rest, in that land where sorrow and suffering are unknown.  She was a faithful member of the M.E. church and always in her place of duty. Though she suffered great pain she ever seemed hopeful and cheerful.  In her own words she said, "I could not bear it in my own strength." but she found the grace of God sufficient and in Him she trusted.  Our hearts are filled with love and sympathy for him who for many years has walked close by her side, and for the son and daughter who have lost the truest of earthly friends, a mother. There are brothers and sister also who mourn a link lost form their childhood's home.  Her funeral was held at her late home Wednesday, Dec. 1st, at one p.m., her pastor, Rev. Mr. Williams, conducting the services.  Many friends followed her remains to the cemetery at Yaleville where all that was mortal was laid to rest.  The friends have shown their love and sympathy for the departed and the family in every way possible, both during the sickness of Mrs. Bradley and after death..
