Sarah J. (Warner) Crandall
1849 - 1917
Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]: The many friends of Mrs. Sarah J. Crandall were pained to learn of her death, which occurred January 19. Mrs. Crandall was the daughter of Asahel and Electa Warner, of Pitcher [Chenango Co., NY], in which town she was born April 29, 1849. There she was married February 2, 1869, to George W. Crandall, now of this city, who survives her. Early in their married life Mr. and Mrs. Crandall purchased a farm in the town of McDonough, where they spent many busy, happy years, retiring only when age and declining health made such a step necessary, and purchasing a home on Fair street in this city, where they had since resided. Funeral services were held at the Fair street home Monday afternoon and were conducted by Rev. Robert L. Clark, pastor of the Broad Street Methodist Church, of which denomination the deceased had been for many years a devoted and consistent member. The house was tastefully decorated with the many floral offerings of loving friends. Mrs. Crandall was a devoted wife and mother; a sympathetic, kind and lovable friend and neighbor, whose heart was big enough to share with all their joys and their sorrows. Little children, as well as their elders, felt the magic of her responsible nature and mourn her loss. A beautiful and pathetic tribute to her memory was offered by a score of little girls, children of the immediate neighborhood, who passed in procession by her casket and each as she wonderingly looked for the last time on the dear face, gently placed a handful of flowers by her side. The bearers were six young men, each of whom had at some time resided in the Crandall family. The body was interred in Mt. Hope Cemetery [Norwich, NY] by the side of her dearly beloved son, Truman, whose death occurred in 1907, and for whom the fond mother had never ceased to mourn. Besides her husband, deceased is survived by her son, Alva Crandall, of McDonough; three brothers, Truman and Thomas of Norwich, and Asa, of Pitcher, and a sister, Mrs. Martha Crumb, of this city.
Hattie Adell Latham
South New Berlin Bee, February 25, 1928
Mrs. Hattie Adell Latham was found dead, lying on her bed in her home, Thursday afternoon. She had not been seen since Sunday evening, when Rosa Daniels had called on her. Mrs. D. says she appeared to be feeling well as she had for some time, but when Mrs. D. called again Monday afternoon, she could not get an answer to her rapping at door; she thought that the key was not in the lock of the door, which led to the belief that Mrs. Latham had gone away with friends from Syracuse who had been expected to come after her. But later in the week when another neighbor called and noticed that the key was in the door, it was feared that all was not well with Mrs. Latham, and than an investigation should be made. So on Thursday afternoon Lewis G. Aldrich and Elias Tripp went to the house and effected an entrance through a rear window which was not fastened, and found conditions as above described. Dr. Evans, of Guilford, was notified and he summoned Coroner Morse, of Oxford, who held an inquest, and decided that she had died sometime Sunday night of heart trouble. her sister, Mrs. Cole, of Unadilla, and nephews, Ed and Frank Cole were also notified and came and made arrangements for undertaker from the Joyce Store at Unadilla, to take the body to their rooms and prepare it for burial. The funeral was held in Mrs. Cole's residence at Unadilla, burial in Evergreen cemetery, White Store [Chenango Co., NY]. She is survived by three brothers, all living at Middleport, N.Y., and two sisters, the one above mentioned and Mrs. L.H. Odell, of Glen Echo, Md., and several nieces and nephews, most of whom were at the funeral.
Charles S. Latham
Otsego Journal, November 21, 1907
No death of recent date has taken the community by surprise as that of Charles Latham, which occurred at his home at Rockwell's Mills on Sunday afternoon at four o'clock. He had been sick from Friday, but not considered dangerously so, and till shortly preceding his death, his critical condition was not known. The exact cause of his death could not be determined without an autopsy, which was not held, but was a bowel trouble, doubtless a complication owing to an operation he had performed at the Utica hospital about two years ago for rupture, possibly aggravated by injudicious dietary habits. He was born at Van Buren Corners in 1851, but was nearly a life long resident of the Mills, his father, Charles Latham, moving there when deceased was but two years of age. Until the factory shut down, he had always been a steady and faithful employee of the company, but has since engaged in no regular employment. He was a member of the Methodist church at Union, also of the N.P.D. of this place, and in politics was always conspicuous as a strong Republican, exceptionally well read in the affairs of his party, and capable of giving a good account of himself in an argument; honest and upright and respected by all. The Mills loses a good citizen in his death, who will be much missed. Surviving him he leaves his wife and one sister, Miss Cassie Latham, of Norwich. The funeral will be held from the Union church on Wednesday at two o'clock.
