Death

In Greene, Chenango County [NY] on the 12th inst. Mrs. Mary A. [Chase] wife of Lester Chase, esq. aged 31 years.

The deceased fell a victim to the consumption and although suffering the debility and languor which usually accompany that gradually wasting disease, yet she was sustained in an uncommon degree by the power of Christian patience and fortitude.

Possessed naturally of strong energy of character, she was enabled in reliance upon divine strength to bear up to the last with firmness and was confined to a couch of prostration but one entire day and that the last of her existence.  She looked calmly forward to the time of her departure and with meek resignation to the divine will, yielded her soul to the Redeemer.  "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints."

A sad accident occurred in the northern part of this town last Thursday evening, which resulted in the death of William Carroll.  It appears that Mr. Carroll attended a wood bee in the afternoon at the house of a neighbor about a mile from his own home.  He told his wife before going, that he must see another neighbor after the bee before returning home.  He started early in the evening across lots and not making his appearance at home that night, search was made for him the following morning.  He had gone towards the neighbor's house as far as a small piece of woods and then evidently changed his mind.  His tracks were plainly visible in the snow, and they were found to lead to the woods and then return in nearly the same direction.  The path led just above a ledge of rocks some ten or twelve feet high and it appears that Mr. C. Slipped, striking his head against a stone and then rolled over the rocks.  When found he was still alive, but insensible.  Both feet were frozen, and the skull probably fractured.  He died on Friday.  Rep. & Dem.
