TERRY: Died in this town [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY], on the 5th inst., suddenly, Thomas K. Terry, aged 74 years.
The death of Mr. Terry calls for something more than a passing notice at our hands. Mr. Terry was born in Rhode Island, and seventy years since moved from that State with his father and settled upon the farm upon which he died, and which he occupied during the long period of his residence here. His life, though not characterized by official station, yet was one of usefulness, performing well his part in life's drama at all times. He was a consistent Christian, and in his daily walks gave evidence of his profession. He was one of the earliest subscribers to the Telegraph, and his son informs us that he always looked with interest for its appearance and never missed the reading of it for a single week until the last, and that only by reason of his severe illness. In this connection we can bear willing evidence to his promptness and cheerfulness in the performance of his duty as a patron to the publisher. He always took great interest in political affairs and never missed voting but at one fall election. His vote was always conscientiously cast in favor of freedom. Mr. Terry had many friends, all of whom were warmly attached to him. He was an honest upright man and has gone to his reward. He leaves five daughters, and one son, Kenyon Terry, who succeeds to the occupancy of the old homestead, now in the hands of the third generation, a worthy son of an honored sire.
Henry Towslee, a worthy citizen of Brisbin, Chenango County [NY], fell from the peak of his house on Thursday afternoon last, and received injuries from which he died in about two hours. He was building the house for himself and was at work on the roof when the fatal fall occurred. Mr. Towslee was between forty and fifty years of age and leaves a wife and several children.

Death
WOOD: In Seward, Nebraska, on March 17th, Mamie Estella [Wood], daughter of Sprague K. and Cecilia C. Wood, aged 5 years and 4 months.
Sad Accident: Last Monday two little boys, Charlie and Orrie, sons of Mr. C.O. Watrous of North Chapin Street, were playing in the yard with another boy named Dunning. The latter had taken up a pickaxe to loosen up some frozen ashes and in raising it over his head to strike, he accidentally hit Charlie Watrous, a boy about six years old who had run up behind him. The point of the pickaxe struck him in the corner of the eye penetrating to the brain and felling him instantly. He died from the effects of the injuries on Saturday morning. He was attended by Dr. Orton who carefully dressed the wound. The little sufferer remained unconscious up to the time of his death, recognizing no one, and talking incoherently. Binghamton Times
