Mr. C, Adelburt Ellis

 

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  C. Adelburt Ellis died at the home of his son Glenn Ellis, on Jones avenue on Wednesday afternoon of last week, aged 57 years.  His health had been failing for some time.  Mr Ellis was born in the town of New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY] and for 20 years had engaged in the meat business there, and had spent all of his life in that place until he came to Norwich two years ago to reside with his son.  In 1876 Mr Ellis married Angelia Burr, of New Berlin, who with his son, Glenn, survives him.  One brother Amenzo Ellis, of New Berlin, also survives. The remains were taken to New Berlin for burial, the services being conducted at 2:30 o'clock on Saturday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Smith officiating.

 

Lois O. Lyon

1932-1875

While the memory of a Christian's life is fresh and fragrant long after the actor has removed from the present state, for "the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance," yet it becomes a pleasant duty to record the riches which we have discovered in those whose departure may be a source of regret--that we may be induced to admire and imitate those qualities which perhaps have been obscured within the confines of a sick chamber, and only observed by those who have been in immediate attendance.   Prompted by this conviction of duty and as a just tribute to the departed, we present a brief obituary of Miss Lois O. Lyon, of this village, who departed this life for Heaven on Saturday, April 24th, 1875.  Miss Lyon was born in Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY] in the year 1832, she was therefore in her 42d year.  She was impressed with the importance of a Christian life when but very young, and at the age of 18 she experienced religion during a camp meeting at Bainbridge, and united with the M.E. Church of this place, which connection she sustained until she exchanged the church militant for the church triumphant.  During the past eight years she has been a sufferer with but little intermission.  Consumption often slow, but too often sure, bore her down, yet amid her sufferings she was an example of patience and submission.  The last few weeks of her life she failed fast, yet though the bodily nature weakened the spiritual strengthened, and when at the close death dissolved the union, the frame was completely enfeebled, but the soul had become matured and perfected.  The week before her decease, when visited by her pastor, she requested singing.  To some it might appear inconsistent, but was in perfect order with her state of mind--all peace, all joy, all hope, trusting in her Saviour, the anchor of her soul was cast within the veil.  About three hours before death, when asked by her aunt if she was conscious that she was dying, replied, "No, am I?"  then with almost unnatural strength sang two verses of a familiar hymn, "Is it death?"  A few minutes efore her departure she said to those near, "Farewell, I am going home," and thus passed away from a small remnant of her family here to join those who had passed over before.  Happy for all who read this if their end shall be as triumphant.

TRUMAN:  In Bainbridge, N.Y., April 25, 1895, of consumption, Lena B. Connelly, wife of E.D. Truman, aged 33 years.  Burial at Sand Hill [Otsego Co., NY].

 

Lena B., wife of E.D. Truman of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], died last Thursday morning, April 25, of consumption.  Mrs. Truman was born in Masonville [Delaware Co., NY] thirty-three years ago, and was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T.N. Connelly, who now reside at Wells Bridge. Since the death of her little babe last December, Mrs. Truman has been gradually failing, until death relieved her from suffering.  Mrs. Truman had been a resident of Bainbridge about three years, and had many warm friends. The afflicted husband has the sympathy of all in his sad bereavement.  The funeral was largely attended from the house last Sunday.  Rev. Stearns officiating.  Burial at Sand Hill.

Warren Bill

The remains of Warren Bill were brought here from Abingdon, Ill., Thursday last.  Mr Bill was an old and much respected resident of this place.  He came here about twenty-seven years ago and lived here until his wife died, about four years ago.  He then went to Abingdon, Ill. to live with his daughter, Mrs. W.B. Main, where he found a pleasant home, and where every thing that loving care could do was done to render his declining years comfortable and happy.  Mr Bill had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for about fifty years.  When in heath it was a rare thing for him to be absent from church services.  He lived to the ripe old age of 85 years.  Friends and neighbors assembled at the depot and accompanied the remains to their last resting place in Green Lawn cemetery [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], where he was laid by the side of his wife and son, Rev. E. Kilpatrick conducted the burial service at the grave.
