Died: In this town [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], of consumption, on the 25th Nov. Mrs. Sophia Kinney, wife of Samuel W. Kinney and daughter of Dea. John Symonds, aged 44 years. Mrs. K. leaves a husband and four interesting children to mourn the loss of a devoted companion and a fond, indulgent and watchful mother. Her warm friendship and genial and Christian character, won the love of friends and neighbors, and the highest esteem of all who knew her. During her protracted and painful illness, she at no time forged to exemplify the support that religion gives to the pain stricken Christian, but al all times, calmly resigned to the will of Him "who doeth all things well," until the feeble link of life that binds to earth was about to break, she seemed to say of her Saviour "How sweet His bidding, come to me."
Died: In Oxford [Chenango Co., NY], on the 26th of Nov. of diptheria, George H. [Hallett], son of Devillo and Maria Hallett, aged 2 years. George has gone to Heaven above, / Death plucked him from our care, / He now rests in Jesus' love, / And waits to welcome us there.
Died: At Winchester, Va., of wounds received at the battle of Cedar Creek, Rial Thompson, aged 26 years, a member of the 114th Rev. and son of Rial and Olive Thompson of Preston [Chenango Co., NY] He died with a blessed hope of entering into that rest which remains for those that love God. Our loss is his gain.

Died: In this village [Chenango Co., NY], on the 8th inst. Mr. William L. Tuttle, aged 62 years. William L. Tuttle of this village, while engaged about his business at the Hoe Factory on Thursday last, was struck with palsy of which he died before evening of that day. Mr. Tuttle was an industrious and exemplary citizen and leaves a family to which his loss seems almost irreparable. His funeral will be attended from St. Paul's Church this (Tuesday) afternoon at 3 o'clock.
Died: In this village [Oxford, Chenango Co., NY], on Tuesday Morning, Dec. 6th, William Van Wagenen, Esq., in the 63d year of his age.
In the death of William VanWagenen, which occurred on the 6th inst., our community have again lost a most worthy and valuable citizen. Col. VanWagenen was the last survivor of five sons of the late Gerrit H VanWagenen, and from boyhood had been a resident of this village. Just and upright in all his dealings, with a heart and a hand that responded freely to generous and benevolent impulses, kind and liberal in all the relations of a neighbor and a citizen, cheerful and frank in his intercourse with his fellows, and earnestly enlisted in the educational and religious welfare of the community, his death has left a void which will be severely felt in the village where he lived, and in whose interests he was so intimately identified. At the time of his death, Col. VanWagenen was a Trustee of the Oxford Academy, to whose interests he gave liberally of his time, care and money. Although never actively engaged in politics, nor an aspirant for political preferment, and unobtrusive in the expression of his opinions, as he was unostentatious in the exercise of his charities, the deceased was unqualified in his condemnation of the rebellion which threatens the life of the Republic, and a firm and consistent supporter of all measures for its suppression, thus honoring the memory of his father, a patriot of the War of the Revolution. Instinctively pure in his intentions, and just and honest in his business relations, Col. VanWagenen despised dishonesty and duplicity in every form. His disease, although chronic, did not until quite recently keep him at home, and he met his friends and neighbors with his accustomed cheerfulness, and showed a kindly interest n the distress of others, while patiently and silently bearing his own. A large family circle, to whom he was endeared by great excellence of character, mourn his loss, and the community lament the death of an upright and liberal citizen.
