Death

HARRINGTON:  In Norwich [Chenango Co. NY] June 18, 1879, Mrs. Emily A. [Harrington], wife of Ezekiel Harrington of Sherburne [Chenango Co. NY] aged 55 years and 2 months.

Our citizens were deeply pained last Thursday morning by receiving the intelligence that Mrs. Ezekiel Harrington had suddenly died the preceding day in Norwich, where she was paying her son, H. Harrington, a brief visit.  Mrs. H. was a lady of sterling worth, of blameless life, esteemed and loved by a large circle of relatives and friends.  It is supposed the immediate cause of her death was heart disease, which, we understand, had been feared for some time.

SEELEY:  To the courtesy of Charles Waters, our obliging operator, we are indebted for a copy of a dispatch received this Wednesday morning, announcing the death by drowning of Mrs. Abel Seeley who resided in the east part of the town of Smithville [Chenango Co. NY].  she was found this morning in a hogshead of water, life being extinct.  In one hand she held a milk pan, and in the other a skimmer.  Dr. Lee was called, who by request telegraphed to Norwich for coroner Avery, that all might be satisfied, although no foul place is suspected. 

BABCOCK:  A little son of Dr. W.E. Babcock, of Oriskany Falls, was drowned in that village last Friday.  He fell into the sluice and was carried over the falls into the canal. The body was recovered in about ten minutes after the accident, but life was extinct.  Courier.
