FOLAND:  In Durhamville, March 31, after a short illness, Mrs. Elizabeth Foland wife of Jonas Foland, aged 64 years and 6 months.  Deceased was one of the most affectionate of wives and as a kind mother there were few her equal and none surpassed her.  As a neighbor, in sickness and sorrow we have lost one of the kindest of friends. She will be missed by the sick and dying; missed - her advice, her councils, and her sympathy.  we deeply sympathize with the bereaved family and mourn with them, for their loss is our loss also; though we hope our loss is her gain.

REED:  Erieville, Madison Co. NY:  A fair boy, the son of Benjamin Reed died of brain disease in this place on Tuesday night, March 25, aged about twenty months.  We all wish he could have remained with us for he was beautiful even in death.

NICHOLS:  Perry Nichols of Georgetown [Madison Co. NY] was buried in this place [Erieville, Madison Co. NY] on Thursday of last week.  He had suffered long and severely from a disease called dropsy that was brought on him by an enlarged liver.  So said his doctors and so say I.

SCHAFFER: Died at Middle settlement March 29th, Mrs. Caroline Schaffer of this village [Oneida, Madison Co. NY].  Only six short weeks ago she was a happy bride.  Now, the heart that then beat with love's affections has ceased its throbbing forever.  Life is like unto the season of buds and flowers. They are with us today, tomorrow they are faded, withered and gone - if these broken links were never to be gathered up and reunited.  If beyond death's swelling flood there was no eternal shore, then, indeed, our pathway to the grave would be shrouded in darkness.

BERRY:  North Brookfield, Madison Co. NY:  The sudden and unexpected death of Alphonso E. Berry of Stockwell Settlement [Oneida Co. NY] was a sad blow to this community, as he was well known and highly esteemed where he had always lived.  He leaves an aged father and mother, a wife, one son and one daughter to mourn his loss.
