Death
On Monday the 9th inst. Mr. David Blakeley of Kortright [Delaware Co. NY] was chopping timber in the woods in company with another man. They felled one tree and lodged it on another and in cutting the other down, the first mentioned tree rolled from its stump and falling, struck Mr. Blakely on the head and nearly severed it in two. One leg and thigh were also shockingly mangled. It is unnecessary to state that he survived not a moment. He was about 46 years of age and has left a wife and large family to mourn his sudden and untimely exit.

Deaths
In this town [Delhi, Delaware Co. NY] on the 14th inst. at his residence two miles from this village. Hon. Gideon Frisbee in the 71st year of his age. He came to this county about forty years ago and settled upon the same farm on which he resided till the time of his death. It was then in the county of Montgomery, afterwards in the county of Otsego and in 1797 in the county of Delaware. Judge Frisbee, in the early settlements of the country, was distinguished among his fellow citizens as Captain in the militia, Justice of the Peace and the highest offices in the gift of the town. Not many years after the erection of Delaware County, he was appointed county Treasurer and about the same time a judge of the Common Pleas. Both of these offices he held with fidelity, honor and usefulness till within a few years of his death, he resigned them, alleging as a reason that he felt a decay of his physical and mental powers, and ought not to hold them longer. He acquired a handsome property by honest industry and was one of the most useful members of society this country ever knew. The vast concourse of people who attended his funeral; the fervent appeal to the throne of grace by the Rev. Mr. Mabie; the feeling address of the Rev. Mr. Maxwell, and the silent and solemn aspect of all who surrounded the hearse, conspired to evince the high estimation in which he was held by his fellow citizens. Pall bearers: Mr. Crane, Judge Law, Gen. Root, Hon. S. Sherwood.
Suddenly, in Bovina on the 14th inst. Mrs. Jannet Thompson in the 43rd year of her age, wife of Mr. David Thompson and daughter of Mr. Robert Hurme(?), Sen'r. A woman distinguished for Christian deportment and for domestic virtues. As evidence of her estimation among her friends and neighbors, notwithstanding the busy season of the year, her remains were conveyed to their long home by one of the largest funeral assemblies we have witnessed in these parts.

Died, on the 5th inst. at his late residence in the Michigan Territory, William Kedzie Esq in the 48th year of his age, formerly an inhabitant of this county [Delaware Co. NY].
Mr. Kedzie had removed with his family a few years since from this county and settled in the Michigan under the most flattering of circumstances. Possessed of a strong constitution, vigorous intellect, and great moral worth, he was calculated to improve the country and exert a benign and happy influence on the state of society whither he had gone. God had prospered him in the labors of his hands, and the wilderness began to bloom around him. His pious and benevolent exertions in behalf of the moral improvement of his fellow men, were crowned with success, for it was evident that the spirit of the Lord was there! But in the midst of his days, his usefulness, and his prospects, the stern hand of Death arrested him, and he was removed to a better country, a land of perfect peace and pure enjoyment. His beloved family has experienced an irreparable loss, a loving and faithful husband, a tender and affectionate parent; the Church of Christ has lost an active and efficient member and civil society has been bereft of one of its best and brightest ornaments. The intelligence of his sudden and unexpected death has cast a gloom over many a family in this county. It has pierced many a tender and feeling heart. The friends and relatives of the deceased are numerous and while they feel their own loss, they cheerfully extend their prayers and their sympathies to the afflicted and mourning widow and children, who are dwelling in the land of strangers, toward the going down of the sun. And while by this providence they are again reminded of the shortness and uncertainty of human life, they would not forget the voice which addresses them far from the west, and from the book of God: "Be still and know that I am God," "Blessed are the dead that died in the Lord, yea, saith the spirit, for they rest from their labors and their works do follow them."
