He was a Christian of undoubted piety, a man of unflinching integrity and honesty in all of his business transactions, gentlemanly and high-minded in his deportment. His years, 'tis true, were few but the mission of life was nobly fulfilled. Although we shall meet him on earth no more, his example will ever live in the memory of those who knew him, and his virtues be cherished in the hearts of fond parents, brothers and sisters, and most tenderly cherished in the heart of the beloved but now bereaved companion of his youth.
________________________________
On Monday forenoon last, the body of a man was discovered on the ice, near the first railroad bridge crossing the mainstream of the Canasawacta Creek, above Frinkville, about five and a half miles from this village. The person who made the discovery drove to Frinkville, and notified several persons there of the fact, who at once proceeded to the spot. Coroner Ormsby, of Plymouth, was notified and the body was removed to the Hotel of E Dimmick, where an inquest was held on Monday evening and Tuesday morning. Augustus C. Aldrich, Asaph Dimmick, Horace Johnson, John Trass, Frank Crumb, and Orrin Sexton composed the jury.
From the evidence given by the conductor and hands upon the train, it appears that the name of the deceased was Peter McDermott; that he was employed as forward brakeman upon the train which leaves this place for Cortland at 9:55; that on Monday morning he was not missed from the train until it reached Beaver Meadow, when it was supposed he had been left behind at Norwich, as he was to go on an errand to the machine shop, about the time the train left. He undoubtedly slipped from a car, and falling upon the ice, was instantly killed, as his neck was found to be broken, and the base of his skull crushed. The verdict of the jury was in accordance with the facts.
The deceased has been employed on the Branch since the 8th inst., and previously upon the Clinton road. He is spoken of by his associates as a young man of temperate habits, and one who was much respected by those who knew him. His remains were taken to Oriskany Falls on Tuesday, where they were met by friends, and conveyed to Vernon, Oneida County, for burial. His age was about twenty-one years.

Deaths
PAYSON: In Oriskany, January 4th, 1873, of typhoid fever, Andrew Payson, aged 22 years.
His mother died about six years ago and something like a year after his father was stricken down, having died with the consumption. He and his sister being their father's constant attendants through all his lingering sickness and were the only ones present at the time he breathed his last. He immediately came to Norwich and hired out to Mr. E. Baker as an apprentice in his carriage shop, making it his home with Mrs. Stackhouse, of this village, who always cared for and looked after him as one of her own family. He worked for Mr. B. some four years, and proved himself to be an honest, upright and exemplary young man in every respect. He then returned to Oriskany, where he had been stopping with his uncle until up to the time of his death. About a year ago he connected himself with the M.E. Church, of this place, and has ever endeavored to live up to the teachings of the same. But alas, the messenger of death came and released him from all his toils. He leaves a sister, the only one remaining of the family, and many friends to mourn his loss. W.N.B.

Deaths
In Triangle [Broome Co. NY], Jan. 20th, Mrs. Sarah Boardman, formerly of this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], aged 20 years.
In Easton, Iona Co., Mich., Jan. 16th, Mr. George P. Ketchum, formerly of this town [Greene, Chenango Co. NY], aged 57 years.
In North Fenton [Broome Co. NY], Jan. 12th, at the residence of her son H.R. Miller, Mrs. Hannah [Miller], widow of the late John F. Miller, formerly of this town, aged 81 years.
There was a record in the last week's American which demands a passing notice in memory of a dear friend, long resident in this community. We refer to the decease of Mrs. Eliza Rathbone, widow of the late Col. Elijah Rathbone. The writer of this paragraph has very pleasant remembrances of manifold kindnesses from this aged friend, as of the family of which she was a member. This departed lady was of kind and gentle nature, of an eminently social spirit and character, with a pleasant word to all with whom she was brought in friendly relations, and this circle was large, for she loved to look in often upon the homes of the poor and among those of humble life. And in all our intercourse with her, we cannot recall any harsh judgments indulged toward any who might have given occasion for soured or bitter feeling. This is surely a high quality of character in a world where there is scope to those who will indulge bitter memories of the irritations of life. A gentle, kindly, Christian spirit has passed to her rest, and but few indeed are left of those who ranked her in age in the community where she so long had her residence and home.
