Percy Eugene Fulton
Chenango Union, September 21, 1882
The death of this little child on Wednesday forenoon was particularly sad and sudden. He was attacked with convulsions, and although medical aid was speedily rendered he sank into a peaceful sleep and never awoke. he had been exposed to the whooping cough and was thought to have the disease in its first stages; but whether this was the cause of the convulsions was not fully determined by the physicians. He was a bright, active little boy, the youngest of two left to the Rev. J.M.C. Fulton and wife, who have been sorely afflicted by the previous loss of five children. His age was a few months over three years. The father was away from home on a vacation at the time. The parents deeply feel the loss of their child and in their bereavement the prayers from many a household in the village have ascended in their behalf for comfort and resignation to Devine will--Oxford Times
Clara Bockee Clarke
Chenango Union, September 21, 1882
On the morning of Wednesday, Mrs. Clarke awoke in usual health and spirits, and signified her intention of not arising for breakfast as was her custom at times. Her husband on arising and preparing for his breakfast, took to her room a cup of coffee and retired. About eight o'clock Miss Lucy Clarke entered the room and was shocked to find her dead upon the bed. Appearances indicated that she had drank a portion of the coffee, and had commenced dressing. Her death must have been instantaneous; there was no indication of a struggle, and it is attributed to heart disease. Mrs. Clarke was the daughter of the late Jacob S. and Clara Bockee of North Norwich [Chenango Co., NY]. Her age was 45 years. Of late years Mrs. Clark had been in poor health, and society saw but little of her. This summer however, her health had seemed to be improving. With the husband are three sons to mourn her sudden demise, and a large circle of relatives and friends to sympathize with them in their bereavement. A particularly sad feature of her death was the fact that she and the family had made all due preparations to attend the wedding of her niece, Miss Anna Clarke, at Binghamton, that day. The funeral was held from her late residence on Friday, and was largely attended, many relatives from abroad being present.

LeRoy J. Adams
Madison County Leader & Observer, 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 [Madison Co., NY] 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.
