Among our death notices will be found an obituary of William B. Johnstone, brother of Samuel B. Johnstone of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co. NY].

William B. Johnstone

Killed, at San Rafael, California, October 10th, 1879, by a fall from his wagon, William B. Johnstone, general agent for the Pacific coast of the London and Liverpool and Globe Insurance Company.

This announcement of the sudden termination of an upright, useful and benevolent life, will carry sorrow to the hearts of many friends.  Mr. Johnstone was the youngest son of the late Judge John Johnstone of Bellfield Manor, Hyde Park, Dutchess County, N.Y.

Born to wealth, he was early in life through the vicissitudes of fortune, thrown upon his own resources.  he made no complaint but by unflinching industry and fidelity to every trust, he won his way to comfort and distinction.

In an age of insincerity, he was always truthful.  In an age of fraud, he was scrupulously honest.  His [unreadable] times to out what to the common eye seemed an almost ideal construction upon his duties to the company he served.

A firm believer in the Christian faith and a regular worshipper in the sanctuary, a devote man in his family, a tender husband, a loving brother, whose love went forth not in words alone, but in such constant and long continued acts of liberality as made it impossible for him to lay up much treasure on earth.  He has gone and the world to many will seem less bright from the loss of his cheerful presence, and poorer for want of his good example.  The Churchman
