SMITH: In Rochester [Monroe Co. NY] July 26, Asa Smith, formerly of Oneida [Madison Co. NY] in the 57th year of his age.
In the death notices of this week will be seen that of Asa Smith, whose remains were brought to Oneida on Monday of this week for interment. Mr. Smith came from Rome to Oneida about the year of 1842 and engaged in the boot and shoe trade in a small wooden structure which stood on nearly the same site now occupied by the brick store of S.H. Goodwin & Sons on Madison St. He is spoken of by those who were acquainted with him as having been at that time one of the most enterprising men of the village, and to him, as much as to any other one businessman, is the rise, and for a while, the progress of Oneida due. In the spring of 1849, he built what is still known as the Empire Block on Main St. which was the second brick block built in town and a few months prior to those built by A.E. Coe and C.I. Walrath on the same street. Mr. S. left Oneida about ten years ago, since which time he has been engaged in business in the city of Rochester.

BLINN: We were filled with profound sorrow last Sunday morning on learning of the sudden death of Isaac Blinn an estimable young man, residing on the hill between this place and Eaton village [Madison Co. NY]. It appears that he had been unwell a few days and had nearly recovered when he was suddenly taken worse last Friday evening and died on Saturday evening. His funeral was attended on Monday.
BURLINGHAM: Our citizens received the sad news on Monday afternoon of the death by drowning at West Eaton [Madison Co. NY] of George Burlingham. He was for several years a resident of this village and held the position of postmaster for some time. He was much respected for his many good qualities. His parents in this deep affliction have the sympathy of his many friends. (Pratts Hollow, Madison Co. NY)
GREEN: On the 15th ult. Charles Green, an old resident of the town of Stockbridge [Madison Co. NY], met with an accident which proved fatal. While engaged in unloading hay, he in some way fell upon the hay rack striking upon a pin in such a manner as to cause an internal rupture. Drs. Carpenter, of Oneida, and Treat, of Munnsville, were called and rendered what assistance was possible to the suffering man, but to little effect. After lingering with pain about one week, he died on the 22d of July. He leaves a wife and family of children to feel the want of a protecting heart and hand.
MOTTS: Samuel Randall Motts recently died in Syracuse [Onondaga Co. NY] and his age was one hundred and fourteen years, eleven months and two days. His father lived to be one hundred and twenty-nine.
News Item
We learn from the New Era, that a fine monument to the memory of the late Marcus Bump has been erected by his widow in the East Cemetery ground in this village [DeRuyter, Madison Co. NY]. It is plain, yet beautifully finished and stands befitting evidence of the affectionate remembrance of departed worth. It is from the marble works of Chase & Co. of Hamilton.
Note: Marcus Bump, 11 Oct. 1803 - 26 July 1871, DeRuyter Rural Cemetery
