It is not known positively how he received his injuries, only that he must have been kicked by one of the team, as no one saw him alive in the lot. He had not been missed from the house but a few minutes and on inquiry being made for him his little sister discovered him in the meadow and said he was asleep. She was sent to awaken him and found him dead. Times

WALSWORTH: In Jones County, Iowa, near Onslow, Aug. 23d of old age, Mr. William Walsworth aged 93 years, formerly of Norwich [Chenango Co. NY]. [Chenango Union, Norwich, NY, Sept. 12, 1878]
The death of William Walsworth, for many years a resident of Chenango, which occurred at Onslow, Jones County, Iowa, at the residence of his son Stephen as published in the obituary notices last week, is deserving of more than mere mention.
Mr. Walsworth was one of the pioneers of this county [Chenango Co. NY], and for three-quarters of a century resided in Preston township, or that vicinity, and wherever known was universally respected and esteemed. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, in Captain Palmer's Company and served until peace was declared. Some twelve years ago, Mr. Walsworth removed to Iowa and took up his residence with his son Stephen, who, in a letter announcing his father's death, says "He died without a struggle or a groan and passed away as a child going to sleep. He had longed to go and has gone to a brighter world. We miss him very much, and would gladly have kept him longer with us. The house is lonely without him."
The many friends in Chenango, of the venerable patriarch, whose age was ninety-three, while experiencing a sense of sadness at his death, will find relief and consolation in the fact that his exit was peaceful and happy, rather desiring to depart.

FISHER: In Windsor, Broome Co. [NY] on Sunday evening, Sept. 14th, of consumption, Mr. Nathan S. Fisher aged 30 years, 11 months and 20 days, formerly of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY].
That "Death loves a shining mark," is well illustrated in the death of the noble man whose name heads this sketch. Some ten or twelve years ago, Mr. Fisher came to this place and entered into business as a druggist, in company with C.W. Copley. After a couple of years trial, the business not proving successful as expected, they sold out and Mr. Fisher next entered into partnership with W.H. Bishop, in the dry goods business. This venture also was not satisfactory, and about 1874, Mr. Fisher removed to Windsor, Broome County [NY] where his father resided and purchased an interest in the Coburn Whip Company with which concern he was connected at the time of his death. For several years his health had been poor, consumption having marked him for a victim. In order to regain his health, he traveled for some time in the West, selling the goods of the Company, but the dread disease gradually became seated, and although at times there were evidence of marked improvement, they were soon dissipated. Some four weeks since he was taken decidedly worse, and on Sunday night last passed away to the "better land."
Nathan S. Fisher was one of nature's noblemen. In all the qualities that go to make up the true man, he was richly endowed. In all the walks of life he was found ready and willing to take his full share of responsibility and he was ever true to every trust. But little more than thirty-one years of age, he had acquired a reputation seldom won until later years. He early joined the Masonic Lodge and when the Commandery was instituted in this place, he was one of the first to become a member. Subsequently he took the 32d degree in masonry which is the highest that can be conferred in this country. Some six years ago, Mr. Fisher married the daughter of John Fryer, Esq., of this place, and she with two children survives to mourn his death. The blow is a severe one to the stricken family and the heartfelt sympathy of many friends goes out toward them in their affliction. May He who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, be kind.
The funeral took place at Windsor on Tuesday, and was largely attended. A number of Sir Knights from this place went over and joined with Masons from other points in performing the last sad rites to one who in life had been true and faithful. The services were very impressive.

White Store, Chenango Co. NY: Diphtheria: We had hoped that never again would our hand guide the pen to write that word. But the dread disease is again among us, notwithstanding it had subsided for several months. A daughter of Mr. Emerson, Miss Jennie [Emerson] aged about 14 years, died with diphtheria Saturday and is buried today (Monday) at Garrettsville [Otsego Co. NY], the former home of Mr. Emerson. We learn of several cases near Rockwells Mills [Chenango Co. NY], and it is feared the disease will rage as fatally as last spring, when, it will be remembered, numbers in this vicinity were stricken down and died.
