Last week we published a brief mention of the death of G. Fred Reiglein, which occurred on Monday of last week and the funeral took place Wednesday. On Thursday, Poormaster Hall removed the widow to the insane department of the County House in Preston [Chenango Co. NY], she having for some weeks past been deranged. The couple were very destitute and their dwelling was a picture of want. They had no children.
The venerable Alfred Clark of Preston [Chenango Co. NY] celebrated his ninetieth birthday at the residence of his son-in-law, J.J. Noyes, at the Corners, on Friday last. As has been the custom with the family for several years past, the day was sacredly observed by a family gathering, and there were present his four daughters and one son - the latter William W. Clark of this village [Norwich, Chenango Co. NY] - with their families and other relatives. Bountifully spread tables with choice flowers tastefully arranged invited those present to partake of the annual dinner, which was enjoyed as it should have been on an occasion like this. The gathering was a most pleasant one, and none enjoyed it more heartily than did "Uncle Alfred," whose health continues good for one of his years. May he live to celebrate his one hundredth birthday with his children.
