Ezekiel Shippey

Chenango Union, May 30, 1878

SHIPPEY:  In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], May 25th, Mr. Ezekiel Shippey, aged 83 years.
Another of our venerable citizens has gone to his rest. Ezekiel Shippey died at his residence on Grove Avenue, in this village [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], on Saturday last, of erysipelas, aged eighty-two years. Deceased was born in Gloucester, R.I., in 1796, and removed with his parents in 1806, to what is known as "Rhode Island" in the east part of this town, settling upon the farm now owned by David Fields. At that time the forests covered the hills and valleys, and abounded in game.  In 1820 he married, and located on a farm in Webb Settlement, where he resided twelve years, when he purchased a farm on Great Brook, in the town of New Berlin, upon which he remained until this spring, when he removed to this village.  He served in the war of 1812, and has since drawn a pension for honorable services.  Mr. Shippey was much respected by all who knew him.  His life has been an eventful one, and he has borne his share in the toils and trials which attended the early settlers of the country.  He has gone to an honored grave.  The funeral was attended at his late residence, on Tuesday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. D. Ballou, of Utica. The remains were interred in the White Store cemetery, by the side of his first wife and three children. A widow and seven children survive him, nearly all of whom were present at the funeral.

Diphtheria

Chenango Union, May 30, 1878

Diphtheria still rages to an alarming extent in Oregon (Butternuts).  A son of Norman Nicolls, aged eleven years, was buried in our cemetery, Saturday. Three other cases (one in the same family, twin brother of the deceased) are considered hopeless. Eleven cases are reported from there, and five from Mt. Upton.  Parents are trembling for the safety of their children and selves from the dread disease.

Mrs. Faucett

Chenango Union, May 30, 1878

[Mrs. Faucett] a former resident of this place [Norwich, Chenango Co., NY], and at the time of her death, May 25th, 1878, of Rockwell's Mills [Chenango Co., NY].  For several weeks the deceased was afflicted with a disease which caused her death, and which has baffled the skill and puzzled the minds of the most skilled physicians.  Counsels have been held between Dr. B.F. Smith, of Mt. Upton, who attended her, and eminent and learned physicians of Norwich, and other towns, without, however, throwing any light upon the nature of the disease. An inquest and examination was held over the body, Saturday afternoon, the result of which we have not ascertained. The remains were conveyed to Smyrna [Chenango Co., NY], Sunday for interment.

On the morning of the 30th of January, 1864, in Butternuts, Otsego Co., the Rev. Thomas S. Judd, the beloved Pastor of Christ Church, Butternuts.
"For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified." 1st Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, 2d chapter, 2d verse.
The text quoted is the one from which his funeral sermon was preached, and is a correct exposition of his labors while among us.  In these days, Mr. Hubbard, when clergymen use their pulpits for political forums, it is a blessing to find a Christian clergyman, who does not seek to fan the flame which is spreading desolation over our land; and this is why I have quoted this text, which you may think strange, in the notice of our beloved Pastor's death.  The text was of his own choice.
