South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY]:  Brownell T. Davenport died Tuesday morning April 9, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Johnson, where he has made his home for the last twenty-three years.  He came there to board a couple of weeks and "look around a little" and has stayed all these years.  His early days were spent on the farm and he has always lived in the vicinity of Georgetown and South Otselic.  He was usually in good health and able to walk quite a little and fond of fishing.  After ten days of sickness in which he could take no nourishment, the end came.  His relatives are unknown by the writer at this time. The funeral will be held at the house Thursday, Undertaker Woodley in charge and burial at Valley View cemetery [South Otselic, NY].  Rev. G.W. Gibbons will officiate.

 

Arthur Stanard

Cortland Standard, January 24, 1919

South Otselic [Chenango Co., NY]:  The hand of death has been harshly laid upon our community of late and I am pained to mention two more this week. A telegram was received Sunday night by Chas. H. Woodley from Ivan Stanard at Winterthur, Del. saying that they (probably he and his mother) would arrive with Arthur's body at Cincinnatus Tuesday.  The particulars of this young man's death have not been learned but Arthur Stanard, a son of Mrs. Droa Stanard has spent his boyhood days here with his mother and his brothers and was known as a young man of good habits and inclinations and full of promise.  He was bright and industrious and a large circle of friends will be shocked at his sudden death. We unite with the whole community in expression of sympathy to the mother and two surviving brothers, Ivan and Cecil, in their sad bereavement.  The young man was about 20 years of age.

Leroy J. Adams

Syracuse Journal, June 28, 1913

Leroy J. Adams of East Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], a brakeman for the New York Central Road, was found dead in the New York Central freight house in East buffalo on Friday.  Adams had been missing about an hour and his comrades started a search for the Syracusan, coming across his dead body.  It is believed that he fell between two freight cars. Adams is 30 years old and is married.  Dr. Danser, the medical examiner, ordered the body to the Buffalo Morgue, where it awaits claimants form Syracuse.

Madison County Leader, July 10, 1913

The Morrisville friends of the family were painfully surprised last week to learn of the tragic death of LeRoy J. Adams, who was killed at East buffalo, during the early morning of June 27th, and while working as a brakeman on the New York Central railroad. The accident was caused by the unfortunate young man being thrown from the top of a box car, his neck being broken in the fall.  He had been working for the Central for about a year and one-half.

LeRoy, who was born on a farm near Morrisville and where he lived until a short time previous to the family moving to Cazenovia, some three or four years ago, was a son of Mr. and Mrs. William Adams, whose Morrisville friends will sympathize with them in their sudden affliction.  He was a young man of good habits, energetic and genial.  He was about thirty years of age and is survived by his parents, three sisters and one brother. The funeral was held from the home of his parents at Cazenovia on the following Sunday, burial being made in the cemetery there beside his wife and little daughter.
