Alanson C. Stewart

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Alanson C. Stewart, one of the older residents of Norwich, who passed peacefully away at his home on Henry street, Friday evening last, was born in the town of Plymouth in 1825, and for 50 years before his removal to Norwich his home was in that town.  He first married Julia Ann Huntley who died in 1867.  A son by this marriage, George H. Stewart, lives at Grant's pass, Ore.  In 1869 he married Martha L. Young, of Smyrna, who with their only child, a daughter Mrs. Clarence Ebbels, of New York city, survives him.  Though a man of strong character and convictions, Mr. Stewart was quiet and conservative in his disposition and a man of few words, but thoughtful and always acting with a purpose. He was noted for his strict integrity, being careful of making promises, and just as careful to meet them when made.  He leaves the record of an upright man.  Many years ago he united with the Methodist church in Plymouth, and since his residence here had been a consistent member of the Broad Street Church for a quarter of a century and for a score of years was an official member.  The funeral was held from his late residence on Henry street Monday afternoon at 1 o'clock, the pastor, Rev. Wilson Treible, conducting the services.

[Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY], from hemorrhage of the lungs.  Mrs. Westcott has been for years a great sufferer form facial neuralgia, and on the day of her death feeling more depressed than usual, was induced to ride out the latter part of the afternoon, but came in fatigued and complained of the glare of the sun.  She ate her supper however, and then reclined upon a lounge; at 8 o'clock was seized with the mouth filling with blood.  Dr. Evans who was passing the house was called in but saw no hope for the patient; twenty minutes later she was dead.  Mrs. Westcott was an earnest supporter of the Methodist church, finding its work congenial, loving its usages, receiving daily spiritual help that smoothed her earthly pathway, and prepared her spirit for its flight to "the realms beyond the stars."  The deceased leaves one daughter, Mrs. Herman VanCott, residing in Bainbridge.  Mr. A.E. Westcott living here is the husband's son by a former wife.  The funeral services occurred yesterday morning at 10:30 at the Methodist church, Rev. E. Kilpatrick officiating. the burial took place in Green Lawn cemetery [Bainbridge]--Bainbridge Republican, June 26.
