McGRAW:  The body of Martin McGraw, a young man residing with his parents at Chittenango Station [Madison Co. NY] was found lying alongside of the railroad track in Syracuse [Onondaga Co.

The deceased was nineteen years of age and was in the employ of the railroad company as a track hand.  It is supposed that he attempted to get on board the midnight train going east for the purpose of returning home and in doing so must have made a misstep and went under the wheels.  His remains were brought to his home on Thursday and from thence borne to Cazenovia [Madison Co. NY] for interment, followed by a large circle of mourning friends. Times

SEELY:  In Oneida [Madison Co. NY] Aug. 17, Ella [Seely] only child of John and Mary Seely, aged 10 years and 21 days.

Fond mother you have parted / With one you loved so dear, / The songs you oft have listened to, / You never more may hear.

Her playthings all are laid aside; / Vacant her little chair, / You turn towards the tiny bed / Alas, she is not there.

You'll miss her when the summer is gone, / With buds and blossoms bright, / Miss her when the twilight deepens / into dark and gloomy night.

You gaze around your lonely house, / Unbidden falls the tear, / Naught can cheer the drooping spirits, / For "Ella is not here."

When you gather round the fireside / Of your once happy home, / All around you breathes of sadness, / You feel you are alone.

But oft at midnight's darkest hour, / An angel form is near, / She gently soothes your throbbing brow / And whispers words of cheer.

Then mourn not for her, mother, / she is an angel now, / And flowers bright and beautiful / Bedeck her fair young brow.

May you meet your darling Ella / In that bright world above, / Where good-by tones no more are heard, / And all is peace and love.
