Obituaries (November 24)

A prominent and esteemed citizen of this village, Harvey Whitman, died suddenly Sunday afternoon about 4 o'clock from heart failure believed to be induced by an attack of acute indigestion.  On the morning of that day he was apparently as well as usual.  He attended service at the M.E. church in the morning, taught his Sunday School class and returned to his home about one o'clock.  He partook of a hearty dinner after which he visited with members of his family.  A little later he went to his bedroom to lie down and Mrs. Whitman left the house for a few moments.  Returning she found Mr. Whitman sitting on the bed and lifeless.  He had died without warning during the short time that Mrs. Whitman was absent.  Howard Whitman the younger son, who is engaged as an engineer in barge canal work at Fairport, N.Y., came home Saturday evening to vote and had been visiting with his father only a short time before his death, he having left the house for a walk.  Mr. Whitman had been complaining from rheumatic trouble for some time but nothing about his condition was considered at all serious.  Mr. Whitman was born in Masonville [Delaware Co., NY] August 29, 1845, and married Mary Darling of Deposit.  The first 34 years of Mr. Whitman's life was spent in his home town, after which he removed to Bainbridge [Chenango Co., NY], where he had since resided.  He was an earnest member of the Methodist church and a regular attendant.  His early vocation had been that of a farmer, but after coming to Bainbridge he conducted a meat market in this village up to a few years ago.  He was a man of public spirit and highly esteemed in the community.  Deceased is survived by his wife; two sons, Howard J. and George Whitman, cashier of the Morris Bank; two brothers, John of Masonville and Rufus of Holmesville, and one sister, Mrs. Arnold Dexter of Holmesville.  The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon with services at the late house at 1:30 and at the Methodist church at 2 p.m..  Rev. T.F. Hall of Oneonta officiated.  [1912]

 

Utica [Oneida Co., NY]:  After outlining his experience in thirty years of preaching the gospel and reiterating his love of the service, the Rev. Jabez Ford of Camden, died in the presence of 1,000 delegates to the Baptist State convention at the afternoon session on Wednesday, Oct. 23, in Tabernacle Church.  The convention was discussing conditions of the church, and Mr. Ford, known as the "prince of Oneida county Baptist pastors," was heard with interest in a spirited address.  He had just completed his remarks and had sat down when he died before help could reach him.  Mr. Ford was a veteran of the Civil War, having served as engineer with Company L, 15th New York.  He had been a pastor in Oneida, Madison and Oswego counties.  He was 71 years old, and his wife and son were members of the audience.  [1912]

 

Afton [Chenango Co., NY]:  C.G. Hyde, who has been ill many weeks with gastritis, died Friday at his home on Spring St.  Funeral was held Monday from his late home, Rev. D.L. Meeker officiating, and burial in Glenwood cemetery [Afton, NY].  Mr. Hyde was a native and with the exception of a few years at Sanitaria Springs, has lived in Afton village and vicinity.  He is survived by his wife and a large family of children who are married and scattered in many different places.  He was a faithful and earnest worker in the M.E. church of which he was a member and he will be greatly missed.  Among those who attended the funeral were W.E. Hyde of Masonville, Mrs. J.S. Childs of Oxford, and James Hyde and Mr. and Mrs. Will Derby of Bainbridge.  [Bainbridge Republican, Apr. 11, 1912]

 

Mrs. Electa M. Hayes, after an illness of a week, died on Sunday, march 30, at her home one mile east of this village [Bainbridge, Chenango Co., NY].  Mrs. Hayes was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Giles S. Smith, life-long residents of this town.  She was born February 21, 1849, and in 1871 was married to Edgar D. Hayes.  Mr. and Mrs. Hayes lived during their entire married life on the farm which is the Stockwell homestead, and has been in the family nearly a century and a half.  In December of 1903, Mr. Hayes met with an accident which terminated fatally.  Mrs. Hayes was best known in her home and church.  For many years she cared most faithfully for her aged father and mother.  In the Presbyterian church among whose charter members were Mrs. Hayes' ancestors, she was an earnest consecrated worker.  She was an unusually good Bible student, and for many years was a teacher in the Sunday School.  She was a woman of deep affection, keen intellect, excellent judgment, possessed a strong sense of duty and was intensely loyal to her friends.  One daughter, Agnes C. Hayes, and one son, Alvin D. Hayes, both of Bainbridge, survive.  One sister, Mrs. Ira A Yale, of Windsor, Missouri, is still living.  the funeral was held Wednesday afternoon at the home.  Rev. D.N. Grummond of Binghamton, for over twenty years a pastor of the deceased, officiated, and interment was made in St. Peter's cemetery.  [Bainbridge Republican, April 11, 1912]
