Death
"Tell them, tho' 'tis an awful thing to die, / Twas e'en to thee - yet the dread path once trod; / Heaven lifts its everlasting portals high, / And bids the pure in heart behold their GOD!"
Died in this town [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY] on Saturday morning last of a short but distressing illness Mrs. Catherine Sherwood aged 34 years, wife of Samuel S. Sherwood and daughter of Mr. John Bessae, formerly of Hudson [Columbia Co. NY].
Mrs. Sherwood has left five small children to bemoan the irreparable loss of an affectionate mother. She was a pious and exemplary member of the Episcopal Church in this village and to the numerous trials and afflictions which are "the common lot of almost all," she submitted with Christian fortitude and resignation. The uniform serenity and calmness of her mind clearly evinced that her hope was not of this world and its sublunary enjoyments, and her afflicted friends have the consolation of believing that she has exchanged a world of trouble and sorrow for a heaven of everlasting happiness.

Deaths
Died, in this village [Oxford, Chenango Co. NY] this morning, William Lyon, aged 16, son of Mr. David Lyon.
Departed this life on Saturday evening the 13th inst. at his dwelling in the town of Greene [Chenango Co. NY], Captain Joseph Juliand in the 74th year of his age; one of the oldest and most respectable inhabitants of the town. In early life, Capt. Juliand came to this country from France and like all of our forefathers, sought an asylum from persecution & oppression in this land of liberty and toleration. He married in the state of Connecticut and thirty years ago moved with his family to the town of Greene, at that time a wilderness, where he continued to reside to the period of his death. After years of toil and labor in a new and uncultivated county, and after enduring the hardships and fatigues incident to the settlement of a new country, he had the happy consolation at his departure from this life of having "grown with its growth," and his family having "strengthened with its strength," and of leaving to a numerous and respectable family of children and an affectionate wife the reputation of a good name and a competency of the comforts and blessings of this life. He died without a struggle or a groan and rests we trust in the arms of his Redeemer. Greene, Oct. 15, 1821.
