David Miller [or Milner] here is laid; / His work's done - his debts are paid: / He was a useful man in his station, / Being gravedigger by occupation. / But since he's dead, let's rejoice at his fall, / For if he had liv'd, he'd have buried us all.

Death
In Solon [Cortland Co. NY], Feb 24th, 1849, departed this life in the peaceful hope of a blessed resurrection. Mr. Stephen Potter, aged 71 years. In him was exhibited another evidence of the triumph of Christianity over suffering; for it was through much tribulation he was fitted for the better inheritance. About 60 years he enjoyed almost uninterrupted health and was a man of very active habits. For ten years he has been unable to labor and for 15 months previous to his death he had been perfectly helpless. A subject of asthma, diabetes and paralysis, a complication of disease, producing great and constant physical sufferings.
He was a warm-hearted friend, a kind parent, an obliging neighbor, benevolent and faithful in the church, of which he was one of its earliest members, an example of honesty and industry, and although dead, will yet live in the esteem and be venerated by all who knew him, and especially for the few pioneers in the settlement of this county, who yet survive him.
He has left a numerous circle of relatives to mourn his departure and among them the aged companion of his youth with whom he has lived more than half a century.

In Solon [Cortland Co. NY], on Monday evening last of apoplexy, Mrs. Mary Chapin aged 73 years.
Mrs. Chapin was one of the first settlers in this section of the country, and after witnessing the changes and improvements that have been rapidly progressing around her for so many years, she has come down thus suddenly to her grave, much respected by her numerous acquaintances and we have good reason to believe is enjoying the society of the blessed in that upper and better world.
