MEAGLEY: In Binghamton [Broome Co. NY] August 2d, Miss Lizzie Meagley, aged 22 years and 5 months.
The Binghamton Republican of Monday contains the following tribute to the memory of Miss Lizzie Meagley of that city who died on Saturday evening. Deceased is pleasantly remembered by many in this locality, she having frequently visited with relatives and friends in Norwich, Oxford and Plymouth.
"The father whose love surpasseth ours has taken his child home. Lizzie Meagley died at the residence of her father, John Meagley, on Pine Street, at seven o'clock last Saturday evening, aged twenty-two years and five months. The deceased had been ill for several months, but had borne her affliction with great christian fortitude, and died fully in the faith of the efficacy of the blood of Christ.
"The sadness of many a heart, the tear moistening many a cheek, are emblems of the affection felt for this lovely girl. None knew her who did not love her. Benign and Christlike in every action, ever ready to sacrifice her own dearest pleasure to promote the happiness of others. If kindness of heart and purity of principles are passports to perpetual peace, Lizzie is clothed today in spotless robes such as only angels wear.
"Lizzie was a member of the Baptist church and choir; an earnest and efficient worker in the Sunday School, assisting in the primary department. Yesterday her chair in the choir was draped in mourning."

Southworth, who thirty years ago practiced law in New Berlin and who on Tuesday of last week died at Babcock Hill in the town of Bridgewater, Oneida County, the place of his birth. Deceased was born in March 1813; was a student in Hamilton College, read law in Utica and was admitted to the bar in 1839, soon after opening an office in New Berlin. In 1853 he was the Democratic candidate for District Attorney of this County [Chenango Co. NY] but was defeated by Isaac S. Newton. In 1855 he removed to Rome [Oneida Co. NY], and associated himself with D.C. Pomeroy, in the practice of law. For a number of years, he was Alderman of one of the wards of Rome, Supervisor, and about 1860 was Chairman of the Board of Supervisors. In 1871 he left Rome, and opened an office in New York, where he remained until February last when, his health failing him, he returned to the home of his boyhood to die. He leaves a widow, one son and three daughters.
