INGERSOLL: In this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] on Tuesday morning Sept. 24th, after a brief illness of heart disease, Helen M. [Ingersoll] wife of Frederick W. Ingersoll aged 52 years, 8 months.
Thus passed away to the better land, one whose dwelling on earth has been a blessing to it. None knew but to love or esteem her. Rich in the better treasures of the heart, she became rich in many friends. quiet, unobtrusive, unselfish, finding her best happiness in ministering it unto others, she came to put a warm place in many hearts. She bore her sickness with the same gentle patience in which she had ever lived. faithful she was in all the relations of life, and when the final summons came, it found her ready. As a wife and mother, seldom a better. As a friend in social intercourse, and in the amenities of life, many lips are gracious in her praise. As a Christian with a simple looking unto Jesus, "she hath done what she could.": She obtained life's best blessing - so lived as to pass away at peace with God and in perfect charity with all the world.

In the death of Mrs. Lovina Wheeler wife of Philip Wheeler, which occurred September 7th, in the fifty-sixth year of her age, our community has sustained a deep loss. For several weeks previous to her death, she had been a great sufferer from acute rheumatic fever, but the same remarkable patience and perfect faith that had sustained her through life, remained to the last. She lived and died a true, conscientious Christian. Possessed of a quiet, retiring nature, her virtues and good deeds were not as conspicuously displayed as many, but were the more highly prized by those that knew her best, and will not be forgotten, or so unrewarded by Him who notes the sparrow's fall. During her long and painful illness, she received the almost constant care of loving children, though deprived by sickness of the arm that had promised to sustain and comfort her in sickness and in health. A son and daughter were ever ready and willing to minister to her wants and in the future their greatest consolation will be "We did all we could to make mother comfortable." The family and friends of deceased have the heart-felt sympathy of the community, who mourn with them the loss of a true friend, a kind neighbor, and a good citizen. Guilford, Sept. 23, 1878.
Oxford, Chenango Co. NY: Elam Yale a former resident of this village, died in Sidney [Delaware Co. NY] Sunday after a long illness.
Unadilla Valley: We are sorry to learn that the dread diphtheria has again commenced its ravages. September 8th, Jennie Emerson, a fair young girl living near White Store [Chenango Co. NY], was at Union Church in perfect health. September 13th, one-week later, the sad news passed from lip to lip "Jennie Emerson is carried to her grave today." The same day, a young daughter of Mrs. Williams living near the Daniel Crowell place, fell a victim to the disease while five other cases are reported in the family. Dr. Smith the attending physician, has strong hopes that the other cases will recover.
