Deaths
FISH: In this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] on the 24th inst. Mrs. Myra A. [Fish] wife of Dr. M.H. Fish, aged 30 years.
The painful task devolves upon us of recording the death of Mrs. Fish, wife of Dr. M.H. Fish, who, after a protracted illness, breathed her last a little after twelve o'clock on Saturday of last week, at the early age of 30 years. Mrs. Fish who maiden name was Myra A. Cole, was born in Richfield, Otsego County [NY]. She was married and came to Sherburne in 1872, where she has resided up to the time of her death. She leaves one child, a bright boy about 4 years old, too young as yet to feel the loss of a watchful and tender mother. The deceased was widely known and highly esteemed for her modest and amiable deportment and her loss will be sadly felt by a large circle of attached friends. In her short life she had faithfully fulfilled the duties of daughter, wife and mother.
At the early morning hour of half past seven on Tuesday last, a large concourse of citizens assembled at her late residence to join in the funeral service and escort the remains and the mourning friends to the depot, where they were embarked on the morning train for Cedarville, Herkimer County [NY], the burial place of Dr. Fish's family. The warm sympathies of the many friends of the deceased followed the mourning party in their journey to the distant burial place. On their arrival at Cedarville they were met and followed to the place of burial by a large number of inhabitants. There were no services at the grave, as the full burial service of the Episcopal Church had already been pronounced here by Rev. T.L. Randolph, Rector of Christ church.

WILBUR: In this village [Sherburne, Chenango Co. NY] on the 24th inst. Cora Belle Wilbur daughter of Mr. J.B. Wilbur, aged 8 years, 7 months and 25 days.
Little Cora Belle was a child of remarkable intelligence and sweetness of disposition. In her Sunday school class and at school she was a general favorite and loved by all. Her schoolmates attended her funeral in a body and during the services their deep grief was sadly expressed. At the cemetery when the coffin was lowered into the grave, each one of the scholars passed by and dropped a bouquet of flowers upon it, forming a very impressive scene. As the flowers wither in her grave, so shall the bright spirit of our little friend blossom in the world of love.
