Daniel Bond
Home Sentinel, Afton, NY, June 3, 1876
A Sad Accident:  About 8 o'clock last Monday, train 12 going east, struck and fatally injured Daniel Bond, a workman on this section of the road.  It seems the men were repairing the track about 2-1/2 miles of this place [Afton, Chenango Co., NY], and as the train came near, they all stepped off the track.  Mr. Bond seeing some tool left behind reached for it just as the engine came up to them, when the cross beam or cylinder struck him on the side of the head, crushing the skull.  He lived probably 60 minutes and expired.  Dr. Hayes was summoned and was prompt to attend the call, but the poor man breathed only a few moments after he arrived.  he was about fifty-five years of age, and leaves a family to mourn his loss.  [Note:  Buried in Eastside Cemetery, Afton, NY, grave is unmarked]

Binghamton Press, February 1, 1911
Guilford [Chenango Co. NY]:  News was received yesterday of the burning of the house of Hiram Wallace in the northeastern part of the town, near Latham's Corners, and of the death of Mr. Wallace.  The chimney of the house burned out about 4 o'clock Monday afternoon, but it was supposed everything was safe.  Mr. Doolittle, a neighbor, discovered the fire and gave the alarm in the night.  Mr. Wallace mounted the roof to fight the fire, and it is thought on account of the strong wind could not keep his footing.  He fell from the roof and died from the effects of the fall.  Further details are lacking.
 
Norwich Sun, February 2, 1911
Mt. Upton [Chenango Co., NY]:  A terrible fire occurred on Monday evening at which time Hiram Wallace lost his life and their home was burned.  Fire broke out through the roof about 11 o'clock and was discovered by the nearest neighbor, Eugene Doolittle, who hastened to the place and told Mr. and Mrs. Wallace of the fire as it has not been discovered by them yet.  Messrs. Doolittle and Wallace went on the roof with water at which time Mr. Wallace fell from the roof striking his head on the stones below and received a fractured skull from which he died at the home of a neighbor, two hours later. Some of the household goods were saved by the neighbors.  It is thought there might have been a chance of saving the house if the fire had not broken out at such an untimely hour that sufficient help could not be aroused in time to do any good.  The fire started from the burning out of a chimney that afternoon at 4 o'clock.  It was watched and was thought to have ceased to burn. The coroner arrived Tuesday noon and arrangements have not been made for the funeral of Mr. Wallace.
