Death

The following particulars of the recent child murder at Richfield Springs [Otsego Co. NY] were furnished us by Coroner Robinson.  James Kenyon is an Englishman, aged about 54 years, of rather intemperate habits.  Five years ago, while laboring under an attack of delirium tremens, he attempted suicide by cutting his throat but unfortunately did not succeed.  Last week, he was at work in a hop yard in Richfield, showing a disposition to assault another person employed in the same yard.  Word was sent to Almon Ames, overseer of the poor of Richfield, who had previously had Kenyon in charge, that he must take him in custody.  On Monday morning last Mr. Ames took the fellow home with him and thought he would set him at work on his own place.  Mr. A.'s son Calvin was there with his wife and an only child, a boy just a year old.  Kenyon was left alone in the house with the two women and this child, when he seized upon the latter and by repeated blows on the floor killed it.  The skull was badly broken.  This occurred soon after he came to the house. The Coroner's jury rendered a verdict of "willful murder."  It is hardly necessary to add that Kenyon is, or pretends to be, deranged. That he is possessed of a temper the most ugly and devilish is very evident.  Freeman's Journal

At Gilboa Schoharie County [NY] on the 5th inst. of typhoid fever Robert Weismer aged 52 years.

Mr. W. was one of the oldest and most respected residents of Gilboa.  For years he carried on an extensive business and was well and widely known as a man of the strictest integrity and most honorable principles. Few men in the town commanded more respect or had more ardent and devoted friends.  In all the relations of life, either in his business walks or in his family circle, he was distinguished for his excellent qualities.  His death is a severe loss to the town, and a painful affliction to a large and interesting family, some of whom are now prostrated by the same disease which caused his death.  May God in his wisdom lay his healing hand upon the bereaved sufferers and spare them to offer consolation and support to the sorrowing widow and the youthful members of the broken flock.

Marriage

Our "elegant" friend, Elliot Danforth Esq. of Bainbridge [Chenango Co. NY] perpetrated the following in his 4th of July speech at Sidney Plains [Delaware Cop. NY]:  "Five years ago today on the village green in your sister village, Bainbridge, I delivered an oration which resulted in my leading to the marriage altar, within six months from that time, one of Chenango's fairest daughters.  I mention this as a Fourth of July incident, which in my history at least, will probably never be repeated. That was a union of hands and a union of hearts.  Today we are to speak of a union of States."

Deaths

Henry P. Skinner for some ten years past a businessman here, died of scarlet fever Sabbath noon.  For a few years past, he had been of delicate constitution, and it required only slight disease to produce death. The funeral Tuesday afternoon was in charge of the Masonic Order, and representatives were present from neighboring lodges. The fire department and Dakin rifle association also turned out as organizations.  Mr. Skinner leaves a wife and three children to mourn the loss of a devoted husband and father. As an enterprising upright businessman, he will be greatly missed.

Harry Heath a farmer living near Sidney Plains [Delaware Co. NY] was found dead yesterday in the hay field. As he was alone at the time of his death, the cause is as yet unknown.  It is thought to be a case of sunstroke.

Judge Paddock, of Malone [Franklin Co. NY], who occasionally visits at Mr. Mears's, lost a twelve-year-old son, Henry [Paddock] by drowning Tuesday.  Fred, another son, was severely injured a few days since by falling form a tree.

News Items

Mrs. Margaret Salisbury wife of Daniel Salisbury, of this town [Erieville, Madison Co. NY], was taken to the lunatic asylum at Utica [Oneida Co. NY] on Friday last.  Her unfortunate condition excites the sympathy of all who know her.  While there I saw Preston  Hill, who went from this neighborhood nearly a year ago to that institution.  He was then a raving maniac, and if he is anything else now it is because he is more demented.  I am told that a correspondent of the Oneida Dispatch of last week stated that Mr. Hill went to the asylum sane upon all subjects but one, and that was in relation to his financial embarrassments.  Mr. Hill was, when taken to Utica, and is now insane on all subjects.  He will soon be numbered among the incurables and taken to the poorhouse at Eaton Village [Madison Co. NY], unless his wealthy relatives will lend a helping hand to help support one of their own kin who for many years and until deprived of his reason, toiled by night and day to gain means that he might live independent of relatives. But, alas, he failed and it remains to be determined where and by whom he shall be supported the remainder of his life.  All I can say about it is, God have mercy on the poor; the rich can get office and steal a living not only for themselves and families, but Mr. Duffy thinks they were providing for their horses when they stole forty bushels of his oats a few nights since.

Chittenango, Madison Co. NY:  A man by the name of May, having married and resided here for some time, had his domestic happiness somewhat marred on Saturday of last week by the appearance of a former wife.  She entered a complaint with Squire Barker, who issued a warrant, whereupon our attentive constable, A.P. Bellinger, took the man in charge.  He was then arranged before the Squire, plead guilty, and on further inquiries he stated that he had married the second wife knowing that his first wife was living, but wished an examination, in order to state his reasons for abandoning his first wife, which was that she had turned him out of the house, but as this excuse did not lessen the crime, he was sent to Morrisville to await the action of the Grand jury.  So says the Times.

Deaths

On Wednesday last, Frederick Hotchkiss, Esq. of Windsor in this county [Broome Co. NY], was drowned in attempting to cross the Hockanum Creek, a short distance west of Windsor village.  Mr. H. left home with his horses and wagon, accompanied by a young man in his employ, to visit a back farm and had to cross this stream, which was much swollen and rapid.  As Mr. H. approached the stream, he remarked that he had often crossed when the water was as high as it then was. The bridge had been rendered impassable by a previous freshet.  One end had fallen, and the timbers rested in the bed of the stream.  He drove his team past the center of the stream, when he unexpectedly found a channel recently cut by the water, so deep that his horses sprang suddenly back, refusing to pass and turned up the stream.  The current at this moment while the wagon was cramped swept off the box and carried Mr. H. from his seat down the stream.  The young man sprang from the wagon onto the timbers of the bridge and as Mr.  H. passed from under the bridge he caught him on the lower side, but from fear or want of strength, he released his hold and left Mr. H. to pass on with the current.  Mr. H. was in his eightieth year and had recently received an injury which deprived him of the free use of his limbs, or we doubt not he would have saved himself.

He was a man of great moral worth, combining remarkable energy of character with unbending integrity, fervent piety, and talents above mediocrity.  He was a resident of the state of Connecticut, till he arrived at the age of about 60, where he shared largely in the public confidence and esteem and was for many years a member of the legislature of that state.  He has ever borne an unsullied character and discharged with fidelity the duties of all the relations in life he has sustained.  He has been from early life an active and faithful member of the Presbyterian church and contributed largely to all benevolent causes.  His loss will be severely felt, not only by his numerous relatives and friends but the church and society.

At four o'clock on yesterday morning, as the mail coach from Elmira [Chemung Co. NY] was coming in and when crossing, one mile from this village, the low ground between the bridges at Canewana which had been overflowed from the heavy rain that had fallen on the day and night previous, it was swept by the current from the track and out of five individuals that were on board, all perished but one. The mails were saved though considerably damaged, as was also one horse and the coach.

The names of the unfortunate individuals, as far as we have been able to learn, are as follows:  Truman F. Rose, whose friends, it appears from papers found in his trunk, reside in Exeter, Otsego Co. [NY]; A Mr. Conklin, whose mother is a resident of Ulster, Bradford Co. Pa; Thomas Bowen, the driver, who recently resided in Mount Upton, Chenango Co. [NY]; and a colored man by the name of Isaac Nathans from Elmira where we understand he has a wife.  Since writing the above, the body of the colored man has been found and taken by the colored people of our village to be buried this afternoon.  Many of our citizens are engaged in searching for the bodies of the remaining three unfortunate individuals.  From the best information we can get, all of them were young men, from 20 to 25 years of age, cut off in the prime of life and have left their afflicted parents and friends to mourn their untimely loss.  Owego Gazette.

Death

Abigail Whittlesey (Camp) Noble

St. Matthew's Church, Unadilla [...unreadable...] and yet very beautiful funeral ceremony on Monday evening last.  Many people gathered there to pay a last tribute of respect to an old friend and neighbor, Mrs. Abigail W. Noble who died in this village on Sunday, July 13th, after a very painful illness.

The Episcopal service faultlessly rendered the time, the place and the occasion seemed suited to each other.

It was fitting that at sunset of a midsummer day, under a clear sky, amid the singing of birds, in an atmosphere filled with the voices of all living things that spoke of joy and hope and endless life, an old woman who believed in immortality and that at the call of her Savior, she would come again from the dead clothed with life eternal, should be laid to rest in the grateful shade and keeping of the much loved church.

All who knew Mrs. Noble in her last years were surprised at the vivacity and clearness of her mind, at the kindliness of her disposition, at her open-handed charity, as if the world was hers to command, and at the vigor of an intellect which time seemed incapable of abating. To such she seemed a remarkable woman.

But to those who knew her in years ago, in the prime of womanhood, when she was the center of a large social circle, and the brightest intellectual found within it, blest with a husband and a family of beautiful children, whom she worshipped when at her home, with all the advantages that wealth and place could [...unreadable...] charming hospitality to all her friends, she was a remarkable woman indeed.

And when in later years, afflictions came without stint or measure and husband and children, all of whom "in the order of nature should have survived her," were taken one by one away and she, the proud and self-reliant woman, patiently bore every sorrow as having been sent by One in whose mercy she trusted, who gave and had a right to take away, and so believing and trusting, and profiting by affliction her bright temper and sunny disposition asserted themselves and shone bright and clear above the gloom of all her grief.  She was still more remarkable.

Mrs. Noble was born at Oswego, NY October 1808.  She was the daughter of William and Abigail Whittlesey Camp. She was married to Judge Charles C. Noble of this village.  She was of a family of rare personal gifts and intellectual distinction.  She was a sister of the well-known lawyer, George Sidney Camp, deceased.  Only two sisters survive her, Mrs. Storrs of Owego and Mrs. Jared O. Gregory of Madison, Wisconsin.

She was a large hearted, great minded, thoughtful woman.  Her self-reliance and positive ideas sometimes made her seem peculiar, but no one who knew her ever thought of attributing any act of hers to a base or unworthy motive.

She was laid to her rest by kindly hands, and as a former pastor committed her body to her last resting place of earth which her care had tended for many long years because it held treasures which she fondly thought did not belong to it.  The tear on many a cheek told in what esteem she was held by men and women who had long known her and felt the gracious encouragement of her unselfish friendship.

The citizens of this village [Hamilton, Madison Co.

[Pearsons] daughter of Charles and Mary A. Pearsons, aged 5 years and 7 months.  She was sick only two days. About the hour of her death, their little boy sickened, and after three days of suffering, died, Frank H. [Pearsons] aged 1 year and 3 months.  Thus have these parents in a few hours been bereft of all their precious children. Who can tell the sorrow of this family as they take the garments and toys and carefully place them away, as if their little ones had gone on a visit and would soon return? Hamilton Republican

In the midst of our holiday happiness, stern death [made] his unwelcome presence, by taking from among us a very estimable young lady, wife of our stage proprietor, Mr. F. Deo.  She died of typhoid fever, after an illness of only two weeks and leaves, beside her husband, an interesting little daughter aged four years, to mourn her loss.  Then again on Christmas night, an elderly lady named Snyder, died rather suddenly after a protracted illness of several months. She was an old and respected citizen, leaving many descendants in this place and vicinity.

Deaths

FISH:  In this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] on the 24th inst. Mrs. Myra A. [Fish] wife of Dr. M.H. Fish, aged 30 years.

The painful task devolves upon us of recording the death of Mrs. Fish, wife of Dr. M.H. Fish, who, after a protracted illness, breathed her last a little after twelve o'clock on Saturday of last week, at the early age of 30 years.  Mrs. Fish who maiden name was Myra A. Cole, was born in Richfield, Otsego County [NY].  She was married and came to Sherburne in 1872, where she has resided up to the time of her death.  She leaves one child, a bright boy about 4 years old, too young as yet to feel the loss of a watchful and tender mother.  The deceased was widely known and highly esteemed for her modest and amiable deportment and her loss will be sadly felt by a large circle of attached friends.  In her short life she had faithfully fulfilled the duties of daughter, wife and mother.

At the early morning hour of half past seven on Tuesday last, a large concourse of citizens assembled at her late residence to join in the funeral service and escort the remains and the mourning friends to the depot, where they were embarked on the morning train for Cedarville, Herkimer County [NY], the burial place of Dr. Fish's family.  The warm sympathies of the many friends of the deceased followed the mourning party in their journey to the distant burial place.  On their arrival at Cedarville they were met and followed to the place of burial by a large number of inhabitants. There were no services at the grave, as the full burial service of the Episcopal Church had already been pronounced here by Rev. T.L. Randolph, Rector of Christ church.

Little Cora Belle was a child of remarkable intelligence and sweetness of disposition.  In her Sunday school class and at school she was a general favorite and loved by all.  Her schoolmates attended her funeral in a body and during the services their deep grief was sadly expressed.  At the cemetery when the coffin was lowered into the grave, each one of the scholars passed by and dropped a bouquet of flowers upon it, forming a very impressive scene.  As the flowers wither in her grave, so shall the bright spirit of our little friend blossom in the world of love.

On The Death of H.C. Scott

They have called him home, the angels of love, / He has gone to the beautiful realms above.  / He now is at rest on the golden shore, / We shall see his face on earth no more.

Away from the home he loved so sell, / Oh, their grief no one can tell; / The loss of a husband, father, grandpa, dear, / the loss of one who to them was so near.

They will miss him at the evening hour / His death was like the sudden thunder shower, / Gently, tenderly they laid him to rest, / Forever with God's chosen in the land of the blest.

We shall see him no more as in days of yore, / For the angles have borne him to the golden shore; / they beckoned him on to the shining strand, / Where saints were waiting to clasp his hand.

We shall meet him again when our days are ore, / When we leave this earth for the beautiful shore, / We then will beet to be parted never, / On the beautiful banks of the gleaming river.

A few weeks since, we mentioned a case of suspected poisoning in the town of Middletown [Delaware Co.

Golden Wedding:  On Tuesday evening, Oct. 23d, Mr. and Mrs. David E. Whitcomb of the town [Morris Otsego Co. NY] celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.  A large company of friends gathered under the parental roof; among them were four who attended their wedding fifty years ago, including Mrs. Horace Harrison, of this village, who was bridesmaid at that time. The number of guests present was about ninety and many and sincere were the congratulations offered and old friends who had not been brought together for years, here met and renewed former friendship.  The guests after the first formality had worn off, were as social as bees, and all "went merry as the marriage bell."  At about ten o'clock the company gathered in the spacious hall and sitting room when Rev. H.H. Fisher of Maryland and Rev. C. Ayer of this village read each a poem expressive of their sentiments for the occasion, after which the doxology "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," &c. was sung by all present and prayer was offered, when the guests were seated for refreshments.  No presents were expected, but notwithstanding this, friends presented a number of beautiful and useful presents and quite a number of gold pieces were found on the table in neat white envelopes for Mr. and Mrs. Whitcomb, for which they request us through these columns to return to the donors their most grateful acknowledgements, assuring them that these mementos of friendship will ever be cherished by them as gifts from esteemed friends and neighbors. While looking upon the family group that night, we were reminded of a poem we once read which we are sure must have been designed for such occasions.

"I saw her and I loved her, / I sought her and I won / Four dozen pleasant summers / And more since then have run, / And the voices of our sons, / Now standing at her side, / Remind me of the autumn / When she became my bride."

We learn that Mr. Willard Hopkins died suddenly at his residence in the town of Laurens [Otsego Co. NY] on Tuesday, Oct. 24th of heart disease.

In Plymouth [Chenango Co. NY] on Wednesday the 17th ult. Mrs. Harriet Per Lee wife of Walter Per Lee, Esq.

A man named Conrad Valhyder supposed to be about 80 years of age, came to his death on the night of the 10th ult. by freezing.  The deceased lived by himself in a small house in Hancock in this county [Delaware Co. NY] and had been for a long time addicted to intemperate habits.  He had the afternoon previous to his death purchased a bottle of rum and returned to his residence as usual, where it is supposed he drank freely from his bottle, became intoxicated, and laid himself down before the fireplace, in which position he was found on the morning of the 11th, a frozen corpse.  Delaware Gazette

Death

A boy by the name of William Howland, who lived in Delhi, Delaware Co. [NY] lost his life last week by the following imprudent act:  Leading a young horse to water, which was so spirited as to be almost unmanageable, by one of his strength he tied the halter round his wrist to make sure his held.  The horse took fright dragged him to the ground and so badly injured him that he lived but one day.  Let this sad calamity be a warning to youngsters whose carelessness and ignorance of danger would not be healthy.

The last Oxford Times (having mislaid the paper, we are unable to copy the article itself) gives the particulars of the death of a young man, a resident of Smithville [Chenango Co. NY] named Consor, who was found dead in the woods on Sunday of last week.  It seems that on the Friday previous, he started out on a hunting excursion and after following a fox until afternoon and having driven the animal into a hole, he called at a house and borrowed an axe, saying that he would return it in a short time.  Not complying with his promise, and failing to return home, a search was made for him on the day on which he was found. When discovered he was dead, lying with his face to the earth. The cause that led to his death is left to conjecture alone.  Appearances indicated that he had become lost, and fatigue and hunger may have proved fatal to the poor boy.  His dog was by his side.  It is said that he was buried without an inquest being held on the body.

One day last week, the house of a Mr. Perkins in the town of Pitcher [Chenango Co. NY] took fire and owing to a quantity of flax deposited in a room, the flames spread with such fearful rapidity, that all attempts to extinguish the fire proved futile.  Mr. Perkins went round his house and opened a window for the purpose of rescuing a bed.  He ran his head in, seized the clothes and there remained unmovable.  He was seen by an individual a short distance off, who hastened to his relief & when he pulled him back, the flames completely enveloped his head and shoulders, shooting out some six feet. He was dreadfully burnt, insensible and his grasp upon the clothes spasmodic, bringing them away with him, although it required the utmost strength of his deliverer to drag him out of the fire.  He lived three or four days and died seemingly unconscious of his situation. whether he was seized with a fit, or stultified by the atmosphere, has not been determined.  Chenango Telegraph
