William P. Buckley

1838 - 1905

At his home in Oxford [Chenango Co., NY] Wednesday morning occurred the death of William P. Buckley, a prominent contractor and builder, well known throughout this section.  Mr. Buckley was attacked with cystitis last week and underwent two operations which gave temporary relief, but he was unable to rally from the effects and gradually failed until death occurred.  Mr. Buckley was born in Smithville October 2, 1838, his parents being Jacob and Clarinda (Hastings) Buckley.  He attended Oxford Academy, taught district school and at the age of 20 years took up the work of contractor and builder.  He was a good mechanic and had many large contracts in this section.  He built the Norwich High School building on West Main street, Firemen's Hall in Greene, two of the Woman's Relief Corps Home buildings near Oxford and many fine residences in this and adjoining counties.  He was honest and upright, a kind-hearted and genial friend and neighbor.  Mr. Buckley was twice married.  In 1865 he married Ruth A. Bartle, daughter of Uri Bartle, of Oxford, and to them was born one son, J. Burr Buckley.  Mrs. Buckley died in 1902 and some time later he married Mrs. Helen Lewis Brown, who with his son survives him.  He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. John P. Davis and Mrs. Mary A. Warn, both of Oxford.

Lewis Allan Sherwood

1849 - 1905

 

 Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Lewis A. Sherwood was engaged in shingling the roof of a hop house on Thursday morning of last week, standing on a scaffolding at the time.  A board turned over letting him fall a distance of 25 feet.  He was taken to his home on Fair street, where Dr. James B. Drake attended him.  His right collar bone was broken and his back and side badly bruised.  It was believed there were no internal injuries but from later developments it appeared that a broken rib had punctured the lungs.  The injuries resulted fatally on Saturday evening.  Lewis Allan Sherwood was born at South New Berlin some 56 years ago.  He was a carpenter by trade.  Two brothers, Alexander Sherwood, of Edmeston, and Linn Sherwood, of Binghamton, and two sisters, Mary Sherwood, of South New Berlin, and Mrs. Jane Lawrence, of Unadilla, are the surviving relatives.  Funeral services were held from the late home of the deceased Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, Rev. S.J. Ford officiating.  The George Rider Hook and Ladder company and the Carpenters' Union, of which organization deceased was a member, attended the services, the former contributing a handsome pillow of roses and the latter a large bouquet of roses. Burial was made at South New Berlin [Chenango Co., NY].
