Harriet (Marion) Dibble

1867 - 1916

Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]:  Mrs. Harriet Marion Dibble passed away suddenly at her home on Hayes street at an early our Thursday morning.  For about three weeks she had been confined to the house, suffering from a nervous breakdown, from which she apparently was recovering slowly, until Wednesday evening a sudden change in her condition forebode a fatal result. Her death was a great shock to her household and a wide circle of friends.  Deceased was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry P. Marion and was born in Norwich July 24, 1867.  She was educated in the local schools and after graduation from the High School became a teacher in a ward school, a position she filled with marked instructive and executive ability. December 27, 1897, she was united in marriage with Bertram H. Dibble and a little later gave up teaching to enter the Marion market, founded by her father over 40 years ago. At the death of her sister, Louise Marion, who had been in active and successful conduct of the business since the death of the founder, Mrs. Dibble assumed the management.  As a business woman she achieved noteworthy success and under her capable direction the business flourished and kept pace with the growth of Norwich.  Attentive and public spirited in her business affairs, Mrs. Dibble found time for home and social duties. She was a member of the Broad Street M.E. Church and of the Order of the Eastern Star. Beyond her bereaved husband the nearest surviving relatives are a cousin, Mrs. Floyd Fowlston of this city, and relatives residing in Connecticut.  Funeral services will be held from her late home on Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Robert l . Clark officiating.

 

Stephen Edson Winsor

Otsego Journal, September 30, 1915

On Thursday morning last at an early hour, Mr. Winsor passed away at his home in this place [Mt. Upton, Chenango Co., NY], and reached the close of a life that measured by years, was exceptional in its length--and one that was distinguished by those elements of usefulness and traits of character that go to make citizens who leave the world better for having lived in it.  Mr. Winsor was born September 21, 1823, and outlived  his 92d birthday by only one day and a few hours.  he was born on the farm which he inherited form his father, Stephen Winsor, situated on the Norwich road and still in the possession of the family.  Most of his life was passed there with the exception of a few years when the family resided at Latham's Corners.  About 23 years ago he left the farm and came to this place where he built a residence and has since resided.  In January, 1852, he was married to Mary Jane Gibbs who survives him.  He is also survived by one daughter, Della, and two sons, F.M. Winsor, of this palce, and W.E. Winsor, of Sidney, and one sister, Mrs. Almeda Shepard, of this place, one son Merton, died in 1880.  So long a life marked by uprightness and right living is in its self a eulogy that cannot be added to by language spoken or written and although he exceeded by many years the period of his active life and lived long in retirement, the span of nearly a century which marked its beginning and its close, leaves its impress for good and its example of integrity and usefulness long after its exemplar has passed away.  the funeral of Mr. Winsor occurred at his late residence on Saturday at 1 o'clock, Rev. O.L. Buck, of the Methodist church, officiating.  Mr. and Mrs. Winsor were life-long members of the Presbyterian church at North Guilford, never having changed their affiliations with the church of their early selection.  The burial was on the family lot in Evergreen cemetery, White Store [Chenango Co., NY].

She died soon afterwards.
