Virgil. One more of Virgil's respected citizens has passed to his rest. George H. LADD was born in the village of Virgil Jan. 2d, 1834, and was a resident of this village until his death, Jan. 16th, 1889. He married Mary CRAIN Oct. 2d, 1853, who now survives him.
Although not a communicant of any religious organization, yet was he equally respected with many that are such communicants. His word was his bond, and no man had occasion to doubt his integrity while his circumstances were such that he could meet his obligations. But, in his case, as in so many others, reverses came, and he died a poor man. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church, on the 18th inst., at 1 o'clock P.M., conducted by the Rev. O. J. PURINTON. Mr. LADD was highly respected by not only the citizens of his own town, but by those of adjoining towns, as was fully shown by the large numbers in attendance at his funeral, it being the largest attendance of any funeral held here for years. The clergyman pronounced a few touching words at the grave, dust was given to dust, and the large concourse of people returned to their homes with the admonition that the reaper may come in midday and gather the ripening grain.

     Out of the earth's bright sunshine,
          Out of its cold and rain,
     Thou wilt meet it no more dear
          Neighbor, in this weary life below,
     But will greet us all in the future,
          For Christ would have it so.

Died. NIVER - December 22, 1888, Mrs. NIVER, wife of L. A. NIVER, aged 76 years and 6 months.

          Sad is our hearts tonight,
     Death sudden claimed its right,
          The vacant chair so lonely stands
     And her spirit rests in God's own hands.
          Then blesses be thy bed to-night,
     Thy soul for ever blest.
          While living thou didst do the right
     And earned thy sweet calm rest.

Mr. BROWN was well known in this place where he had many friends who will be sorry to hear of his death. For several years he and John WHEELER kept the Cortland House in this village, doing a large business. Mr. BROWN was of a very genial disposition, and was always very liberal with his friends. Three or four years ago, when Barnum's circus tent was blown down in this village, he was seriously injured and it is believed that his death resulted from the injuries received at that time. He leaves a widow and two sons. The funeral took place on Wednesday.

In Memoriam.     Mrs. Emma C. UTLEY, wife of David UTLEY of Blodgett Mills, N.Y., departed this life January 9, 1889, aged 37 years. Her last sickness was of less than a week's duration but was a period of intense suffering.
    For two or three years she had been in poor health, but had so far recovered her usual strength as to be able to attend to all her household cares and had also been frequently to render loving services at the bedside of her invalid mother, at Little York. Her last visit to the paternal home having been the 11th of December when the five sisters made a beautiful birthday surprise for their father.
    New Years day she was in usual health and the loved ones of the happy home circle little dreamed that in one week they would gather around her death bed. She was suddenly taken with typhoid pneumonia and lived only five days after the physician was summoned. She was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. WHEELER of Little York. A portion of her childhood had been spent in Blodgett Mills to which place she returned after a few year's absence, to finish her life work near her girlhood home. Loved by all, her sudden death cast a dark pall over the entire community. A very large congregation assembled at her funeral. The pastor said, truly, that she had not a known enemy. Her life was one of love. Her death comes with crushing weight to the bereaved husband, who was deeply devoted to her; and upon her only child Minnie, of eleven years, whose grief has touched all hearts; this sudden bereavement has also cast its great wave of abiding sorrow over the home of the aging parents and four remaining sisters, to whom she was warmly attached.
    But alas, until the Eternal re-union all must say farewell to "dear Emma," dutiful daughter, devoted wife, tender mother, loving sister and faithful friend. Farewell.

In Memoriam. After an illness of about one year, Mr. William L. KENFIELD died on January 26, 1889 at the residence of his parents on Clinton avenue. The decease of this young man, at the early age of 23 years has brought great sorrow to a wide circle of relatives and friends. A year and three months ago he was married to Miss Emma E. MEAGER, Rev. CORDO performing the ceremony, and there was bright promise of happiness in their married life. The cloud of affliction and painful illness, however, soon began to settle over him and for many weary months he was a great, yet patient sufferer. In the midst of his sickness he turned to Christ and became a glad Christian, eagerly laying hold on the hope set before him in the gospel. The hands of loving wife and parents ministered tenderly to him during the long sickness, but they could not stay the approach of death. At his funeral a large company of relatives and friends assembled, notably many of the young men of Cortland with whom he was extremely popular, and by whom he was greatly beloved. Dr. CORDO, who officiated at his marriage also delivered the address at his funeral, Rev. Mr. AVERY offering prayer at the close. While his parents and companions mourn his early death they are consoled in the thought that their loss is his eternal gain.

Obituary.     Mary C. WHEELER, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Charles WHEELER, died Tuesday March 5, 1889, at the home of her parents in Little York. A lovely life has passed into the beautiful beyond, where no pain can mar its happiness.
    "Matie's" life was one of more than usual loveliness. It was not strange that she was the idol of the household, the youngest born, attractive in person, gentle in her ways, with a soul of transparent truthfulness, and a heart filled with rare unselfishness. During the last illness of George, the only brother, who died with consumption fourteen years ago, Matie left school, giving up freely her cherished plans to be with him. And as the years have passed, she has been the light of the old home. While her sisters went out to homes of their own, Matie remained with her sweetness and cheer to comfort her parents. A cough had at times troubled her ever since the death of George, and it was feared the seeds of consumption were developing, but not until about six months ago did her friends become alarmed. Her devotion to her invalid mother was so great that, when she was urged to leave home for the benefit it might bring herself, she would not consent until she thought her mother better. But it was at last evident that Matie was herself passing beyond all earthly help. She was deeply affected by the sudden death of her sister, Mrs. Emma UTLEY, just seven weeks before her own death. Her stricken friends felt that Matie must soon follow. She failed rapidly from that time, but the passing away was as peaceful as though the angels had kissed away the gentle spirit. She looked too beautiful to bury as she lay in the lovely white casket, sleeping her long peaceful sleep amid the beautiful, pure flowers. But the storm of the day was in keeping with the storm of grief in the torn hearts of those who must bid her farewell. The sister who had died a few weeks previously had been placed in the receiving vault, and Emma and Matie were buried together in one wide grave.
    Truly, "lovely in their lives, in death they were not divided."

                                                         Elmer H. CLARK,
                                                               Surviving Partner.

Death of Mrs. C. W. COLLINS.     Last Sunday morning, many hearts in this village were saddened by the announcement that Mary E., the devoted wife of Charles W. COLLINS was dead. She was seen upon the streets apparently in her usual health on the Monday previous, but on the following day was stricken with an attack of pneumonia which finally involved the heart and caused her death, at the early age of 47 years. Mrs. COLLINS was the only surviving daughter of Eben MUDGE, Esq., of this village and had always resided in this place. For many years past she had been active in promoting the interests of the church of which she was a zealous member and she was also a leader in every movement in the cause of temperance. She possessed a wonderfully keen mind and besides being an excellent conversationalist was a very witty and incisive writer. She had made the most of the excellent opportunity afforded by her indulgent parents to obtain a thorough education in her earlier years. She always found time to read the latest literature of the day and with a mind well stored with current information she was a delightful companion in the social circle. Kind hearted to an unusual degree she seldom if ever gave free reign to a vein of sarcasm which she knew so well how to use. She was president of the Cortland Library Association from its organization, until its property was turned over to the Franklin Hatch Association, and was connected with the Woman's Christian Temperance Union from the outset until her death.
    Mrs. COLLINS leaves three children besides her husband to mourn her early departure. She was a devoted wife and mother and it is in the home circle that she will be most sadly missed. She will be mourned by hundreds of friends, who were sincerely attached to her, by ties of more than ordinary friendship and who will realize from day to day that a lovely woman has been suddenly snatched from a life of singular usefulness.
    The funeral services were held at her late residence on Wednesday afternoon and was largely attended. Oceans of flowers attested to the love and sorrow of kind friends.

Blodgett's Mills. The funeral of Mr. Timothy ATWOOD was held at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Andrew THAYER, last Friday.

Death Did Not Part Them. John CALVERT, for many years a highly respected citizen of this town, died at the home of his son-in-law, Mr. M. R. WOOD, near South Cortland, on Saturday last aged 82 years. Mr. CALVERT was a successful farmer and lived for a long time on one of the best farms in the county until a few years ago when he retired from active life, with a handsome competency and rested from his labors. Since his retirement he and his estimable wife have made their home with their children. Mrs. CALVERT did not long survive her husband for on Monday last she too passed over the river to join her consort. She was a most estimable woman and was sincerely loved and respected by all who knew her. They fought the battle of life bravely and it was meet that they should begin the new life without being separated. They were honest and deserving people here and it is believed that they will be happy there.

Taylor. The two year old and only son of Mr. and Mrs. E. N. ANDREWS, of Lincklaen, was taken suddenly with convulsions while at the supper table last Thursday, and died within half an hour. Their many friends here and elsewhere sympathize with them in this their great affliction.

To the Memory of Mrs. Collins. At a regular meeting of the W.C.T.U. of Cortland, the following tribute to Mrs. Mary E. COLLINS, who passed from this into the higher life, March 31, 1889, was adopted, with the recommendation that a copy be furnished each of the village papers and one also sent to the family of our sister.
In the death of our beloved sister, Mrs. Mary E. COLLINS, the Woman's Christian Temperance Union has lost an earnest, intelligent and conscientious fellow laborer, who was like an inspired leader among us, whose example is worthy our imitation, and whose spirit and life rest upon us as a benediction. Yet, while we mourn her loss, we thank our Heavenly Father for her spotless life, and pray that her death may lead us to a more thorough consecration of our powers to the work of raising up the fallen, comforting the afflicted and opposing wrong-doing wherever we may find it.

Taylor. Stephen CURTIS, of whose sickness mentioned was made last week, died Wednesday morning, April 3, at the residence of his brother in Truxton. Five years ago he came to this country from Southamton (Southampton?), Hampshire, England, and settled in Manheim, Herkimer county. From there he came to Truxton two years ago where he has since lived. Only fifteen weeks ago the day of his death he was united in marriage to Miss Jennie JORDAN, of this place, since which they have lived happily together and were looking forward to a continuance of the same for years in the future, when cruel death came and rendered asunder the tie that bound them together. "He was a good fellow," are the words we hear spoken of him on all sides. None knew him but to love and respect him for his friendliness, not only for this but because he was one of the most amiable and genial of men. Surely "Death loves a shining mark."

FORBES, amounting to about $30,000, to persons but little related to him, was admitted to probate by the surrogate, last Saturday.

Killed While Coupling Cars. Thomas KEARY, an employee of E. C. & N. in their round house at this station met his death last Tuesday while coupling Engine No. 22 to a flat car. The accident occurred at about 8 o'clock in the morning and from the evidence taken at the coroner's inquest it appears that no one was to blame for the accident. The engine had backed very slowly to the car which stood about ten rods from the round house and KEARY was seen to step between the tender of the engine and the car, stoop down in order to reach the "link" from under side of the "draw heads" and fall to the ground. Norman HASKELL, a night hand at the round house, lives a few rods from the scene of the accident and happened to be looking out of his window facing the engine and car, and was a witness to the accident. HASKELL ran from his house and shouted to Chas. ALSOP, the engineer, that KEARY was either injured or killed, and with the aid of one or two others who were called to the scene, carried the body to the round house where it was placed on a cushion. When picked up, KEARY had every appearance of being dead, but as soon as he was placed on the cushion, blood ran from his mouth and ears and he made one or two attempts to breathe, and then straightened out full length, when all was over. Dr. H. O. JEWETT was called and made a post mortem examination and testified that KEARY had evidently raised up just in time to have the back of his head caught between the dead blocks, enough to break his neck and cause a fracture at the base of the skull, without crushing or mangling, as the only external mark that could be discovered was an abrasion of the left ear, from which a portion of the skin was gone.
Coroner BRADFORD of Homer, was notified and empanelled a jury consisting of Edwin C. CLEAVES as foreman, Jas. E. SEAGER, H. L. YATES, Thos. KEARSLEY, H. E. WOODIN and David H. YATES. After viewing the remains the inquest was adjourned till 10 o'clock Thursday morning, which was held in the company's depot and the evidence taken brought forth the facts above stated.
KEARY was very highly spoken of by his employers and associates as a young man of good habits and very saving of his earnings. He had over $400 to his credit in the Cortland Savings Bank. He was a single man about thirty years of age and had several relatives living in Cortland and a brother in South Cortland. The funeral took place in Groton yesterday to which place the remains were taken Wednesday.

Killed by the Cars. Last Saturday afternoon I. H. PALMER, president of this village, received a dispatch from Coroner MARSH of Port Jervis stating that Harold PAULSON, a Norwegian, who was injured on the railroad there was dead. The dispatch also stated that he claimed Cortland as his home and that he had a trunk here. Investigation proved that PAULSON was a tramp and that he worked for a time as a mason on the new buildings of the Homer Wagon Company. During his stay here he was arrested twice for intoxication and spent some time in jail. He was released last week Monday and left town of Saturday last. He was indebted to Jas. RYAN who keeps a boarding house on East Railroad street in the sum of $17.50 for board and Mr. RYAN kept his trunk in lieu of payment.

Suicide In Freetown.
Isaac Hall, while Insane Hangs Himself in a Barn.
From the Marathon Independent, May 29.     As we go to press information reaches us of the death of Isaac HALL of Freetown, which sad event occurred yesterday, the body being discovered last evening.
    Deceased resided just a little north of the corners at Freetown. He was a carpenter by trade, and well known as an upright, honorable man and citizen. He was a member of the Marathon Lodge, F. & A. M. Some years ago he had serious nervous trouble brought on by excessive use of tobacco, and since that time has had occasional periods of flightiness. In fact it was only a few days since that Dr. REED told a friend that watch should be kept, or he would make way with himself.
    Mr. HALL left home about 1 o'clock, remarking that he thought a walk would do him good, as one had some days before. From that time until the body was found, we have no information of his movements. His wife became anxious over his extended absence, and a search party was organized. Joseph UNDERWOOD, one of the party, entered a barn on a farm owned by Dr. ALLEN, and formerly occupied by Eugene WATROUS of this place, and the body of Mr. HALL was found hanging to a beam, suspended by a bed cord. He was dead when found.
    Solomon ROBINSON cut the body down, and it was carried to the home of the deceased. Charles DICKINSON drove to the village and summoned Coroner TRAFFORD, who took charge. The inquest will be held at 1 o'clock this afternoon.
    Mr. HALL was about sixty-six years of age, he leaves a wife to mourn his untimely demise. There is no doubt but that his death was the act of an insane person, as no other motive can be ascribed. The funeral will be held on Friday.

Blodgett's Mills.     A frightful accident occurred near here last Monday morning. The six o'clock A.M. mail and passenger train going north, at the second railroad crossing about a mile north of this place, struck and instantly killed Timothy GRADY, who was driving his cows from the pasture to the barn for milking. He had succeeded in getting a portion of them across while two remained upon the opposite side. It is believed that in his efforts to save his cows he lost his own life.
    His body was hurled with such terrific violence against the fence as to splinter the boards and break down a fence post. Nearly every bone in his body was said to be broken, but strange to say, his face remained without a mar. The train stopped and after informing Mrs. GRADY of the accident, carried his body to the undertaker's rooms, where it remained until interment, which occurred Tuesday. Mr. GRADY was a man of about 60 years of age, and had lived in this vicinity nearly twenty years. He was a stone mason by trade and had accumulated a snug little fortune. He belonged to the better class of Irish citizens, was a strictly temperate man, and a most obliging neighbor. He leaves a widow and two sons to mourn his untimely demise. Also several children by a former marriage, who live near Auburn, N.Y.
    Thos. F. GRADY, son of the deceased, telegraph operator at Whitney's Point, was in town Monday and Tuesday.

In Memoriam.     Mr. Charles WHEELER died May 8th, 1889, at his home in Little York, in his 78th year, after a brief illness of only six days of typhoid pneumonia.
    The bereaved household from which he has been so suddenly summoned has been indeed sorely afflicted. Within the past year the wife and mother, by a stroke became an invalid. The five daughters untiring in their devotion, came in turns from their various homes to assist their father in caring for their beloved mother.
    On Mr. Wheeler's last birthday, November 13, 1888, the five daughters and their families brightened the old home by a surprise gathering and presented their father with a handsome easy chair. The sick mother entered the spirit of the day. It was a time ever to be memorable in the history of the family, for it proved to be the last time they were ever all to meet to gather again in this life. Two months later one of the daughters, Mrs. Emma UTLEY died. Hardly two months more passed when Matie, the youngest of the household was buried by the side of her sister, and now after only two months more, the beloved father has been borne from that broken home to join the dear ones who have gone on before, leaving the deeply afflicted wife and three daughters in the darkest circle to mourn. Half of the dear ones are now on the other side, the only son and brother having been taken several years ago.
    Mr. WHEELER was the 4th son of Colonel WHEELER of Solon. In Politics he was, through life, a democrat, never missing an election and was much interested in the issues of the day. Most of his life was spent in Cortland county, and at the different points where he lived he always won warm friends. Rev. Dr. ROBINSON of Homer, who conducted the funeral services and who knew him in his last years and had been especially drawn to him in the deep affliction of the last few months, paid a just tribute to his memory. There is a sad void in the place he filled. A true husband, loving father, kind neighbor and good citizen has fallen.

Death of Geo. W. HALL. A dispatch from San Francisco, announces the death of George W. HALL, Chief Engineer of the Nipsiq, at Leone, [???????]. He was born in Lafayette, Onondaga County, and married a sister of [Mrs. H. T. DANA?], of this place. In 1870-1 he was engaged in business [as a member?] of the firm of Hall & VanBergen, machinists and founders. In 1872 he was ordered to report for active duty and since that time he has been on board [ship?] with the exception of an occasional [vacation?]. Mr. HALL was a very genial man and had many friends in this place who will sincerely regret his death. He was about 50 years of age and stood high in his profession. The Nipsic was one of the U.S. war vessels that survived the hurricane at Samoa.

Death of Charles W. Sanders. Charles W. SANDERS, author of the well known series of school books bearing his name, died at his home in New York city, July 5, 1889, at the age of nearly 85 years. He was born in Newport, Herkimer county, March 24th, 1805, and moved with his parents to Homer, N.Y. in 1814. Two years later he commenced teaching school, which occupation he followed mainly for about seventeen years, when he began the work which resulted in the publication of his system of readers and spellers. Although the series was vastly superior to any then in use, it was some time before they were adopted in all the schools of the State. The writer remembers very well the first time he ever saw the subject of this sketch. It was away back in the forties and Mr. SANDERS called at the district school where the writer was learning his letters, and explained his system. They were soon after adopted, and in a very short time became the standard, successfully withstanding the efforts of all subsequent publications to dislodge them. The books have been published in nearly every part of the globe, and Mr. SANDERS, in his later years, is said to have received a very large annual income from their sale. Mr. SANDERS was a pleasant speaker and a very graceful writer. He possessed a very cheerful and sunny disposition, and, in consequence, made many warm friends who were sincerely attached to him. In 1842 he married Miss Elizabeth BARKER, of New York, who, with two sons, Rev. Henry M. SANDERS and Dr. Charles W. SANDERS, survive him. He has two brothers yet living, Joshua C. SANDERS, a lawyer of New York, and Martin SANDERS, of this place. The latter is 88 years of age and still quite hale and hearty.
The funeral services were held in the Baptist church in this place, on Tuesday last, at 11 A.M., Dr. Thos. H. ARMITAGE, of New York, preaching the sermon from Mark iv:29. The remains were deposited in the family vault in Cortland Rural cemetery. Rev. Henry M. SANDERS is now in Europe.

In Memoriam.     Wellington P. MYNARD died at his home two miles west of Virgil, Friday, July 12, aged 47 years, 8 months and 26 days. In his death the town loses one of her most respected and influential citizens; the agricultural community one of its best farmers; the neighborhood, a genial and accommodating neighbor and the family, a kind and affectionate brother.
    He had been ill for nearly four months but his animation and the intense activity of his mode of life compelled a great many of his friends to believe that he would ultimately recover. Mr. MYNARD was perhaps as widely known in this section of the country as any man in town, he having been engaged in buying and shipping stock for a number of years, and he always enjoyed the reputation of an honorable dealer, a man whose word was as good as his bond.
    He was born October 16, 1841, in this town, on the old homestead which he owned when he died. His father, Madison MYNARD, was a farmer and stock dealer. His mother was Maria BOUTON. Wellington received a good common school education and his practical business qualities enabled him to accumulate a handsome property. He was at one time engaged in the livery business in Marathon. Mr. MYNARD was a charter member of the Virgil Grange and in his death the order loses a valuable and worthy member. He always took considerable interest in politics and was always a steadfast Democrat. He represented the town of Virgil on the Board of Supervisors during the years 1879 and 1880. Mr. MYNARD was never married. One brother, Mr. M. A. MYNARD and two sisters, Mrs. Lewis BELL, and Mrs. Dennis EDWARDS, (all who reside in Freetown, this county) survive him. The funeral services were held at the M. E. church on Sunday afternoon and an appropriate sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. MITCHELL of the Universalist church of Cortland. The large congregation of mourning and sympathetic friends who were present from this and adjoining towns gave ample evidence of the esteem in which deceased was held. Undertaker Galusha C. SWEET had charge of the burial services, and the remains were interred in the family lot in the Virgil Rural cemetery.
    The family wish through the columns of the Democrat, at this time to thank the choir for music furnished at the funeral and the neighbors and friends who assisted during the sickness and on the day of the funeral, also for the handsome display of floral offerings. A Friend.

Here and There. While mowing grass with a mowing machine, last Tuesday afternoon, Mr. Asa CANFIELD of Upper Lisle, was thrown in front of the machine and so seriously injured about the head and shoulders that he died on the following day. Mr. CANFIELD was a prominent farmer and owned one of the best farms in that section. He leaves a wife and one son.

His Head Cut Off. Last Tuesday morning Darius GREEN, of the town of Scott, was instantly killed while working in a saw mill at Fair Haven, opposite Glen Haven. He was standing on a plank at the side of the large circular saw, greasing the same while it was running at full speed. The plank tipped up and flung him headlong in front of the saw, which cut the top of his head completely off, spilling the brains on the floor. His left hand was also severed and fell into the lake and has not been recovered at our latest advices. He leaves a wife and nine children in poor circumstances.

2 Aug 1889

Blodgett's Mills. Mr. Isaah [sic] SIMPSON died last Wednesday night after a most painful and protracted illness. The funeral took place last Saturday at the W. M. church, Rev. D. P. RATHBUN officiating. He was a member of the G. A. R. of Cortland and also of Harmony Grange of this place. Both organizations were present, two members of each society acting as bearers.

Suicide at Glen Haven. On Wednesday morning the guests at Glen Haven Sanitarium were both startled and shocked by the announcement that Miss Lillian DUMONT, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. H. D. DUMONT of Brooklyn, had committed suicide. Miss DUMONT had many friends in this place, where she has frequently visited the family of her uncle Mr. John H. HULL, and the Democrat at once sent a reporter to learn the full particulars. For some weeks past Mr. and Mrs. DUMONT and daughter Lillian and Mabel have been occupying the first floor of the cottage known as "Liberty Hall" located near the old hotel. They took their meals at the new hotel and when Mrs. DUMONT looked into Lillian's room at 8 o'clock on Wednesday morning on her way to breakfast, the girl seemed to be asleep and she concluded not to disturb her. Mrs. DUMONT was gone not to exceed fifteen minutes and she brought some breakfast for Lillian, but when she entered the room the bed was unoccupied. Thinking Lillian was in the closet she went to the door and calling her name asked to be admitted. Just then she noticed a hand protruding from the closet and she at once gave the alarm. Some ladies who happened to be near rushed in and the door being opened, Lillian was found hanging to the same. The cord was cut and the body laid upon the bed. She gasped a few times, but all efforts to resuscitate her were unavailing.
    She had taken four corset laces, tied a knot in one end and fastening the knotted end firmly in the top of the door, stood upon the bed and after tying the other end of the laces about her neck, jumped into the closet. The weight of her body had almost closed the door.
    Miss DUMONT was about 22 years of age and was a very beautiful and amiable young lady and had many admirers. Every wish of hers had been anticipated by her fond parents and the cause that led her to commit the deed is as much a mystery to them as to her many friends. For some weeks past she had occasional fits of melancholy and when asked by her mother as to the cause, had answered that "everything seemed to be against her." Usually she was very bright and cheerful in temperament. She had assured her mother only a few days since that her despondency was not caused by any disappointment or unrequited affection. It was only last Friday that she with her mother took dinner at the Messenger House in this village, and while here they met many friends, who noted that Miss Lillian seemed to be as cheerful and amiable as usual.
    The remains were taken to Brooklyn on the 10 P.M. train Thursday.

Engineer Hall's Death Confirmed. News from Samoa under date of June 22 is to the effect that G. W. HALL, chief engineer on board the U.S. man-of-war Nipsic, of whose death information had already been received, died at Lioni, not Leone on the African coast, as first stated. He was detached from his ship at Lioni, a port on the Samoan group, because of sickness, and was taken under the care of the Catholic priest there. It was expected that Mr. HALL would be taken to San Francisco by the first steamer passing there, but for some reason no stop was made, and he had to face the prospect of waiting a month. Meanwhile death occurred. Mr. HALL suffered from several complaints including Bright's disease, dysentery and gastric fever. Mrs. HALL, his widow, who lives in Onondaga Valley, has been notified by the Navy Department at Washington that she is entitled to a pension of $30 a month. When Mr. HALL left Cortland, only a few years since he was a very healthy, rugged man. About two years ago he was here visiting relatives and old friends and was apparently in the enjoyment of excellent health.

Death of Mrs. Fitzgerald.
From the Syracuse Standard, Aug. 13. Mrs. William FITZGERALD died suddenly of apoplexy on Sunday at her home in Chicago. For 15 years Mrs. FITZGERALD was a resident of this city, during the greater part of which time she was Mrs. Patrick CORBETT. After Mr. CORBETT died she married William FITZGERALD. Mr. FITZGERALD is a brother of State Treasurer Lawrence J. FITZGERALD, and is a wealthy citizen of Chicago. There is said to be a tinge of romance to their marriage. FITZGERALD was a Skaneatles boy and his now dead wife was a belle at Auburn, N.Y. A friendship sprang up between them, which ripened into a feeling more deep and tender. At the time Pat CORBETT was making a bright name for himself as an orator and politician, and he proposed to the young lady and was accepted. When Mr. CORBETT's death found FITZGERALD, too a widower, after a becoming period elapsed, the marriage of Mr. FITZGERALD and Mrs. CORBETT took place. Mrs. FITZGERALD's maiden name was Rose GAVAGAN and she was a daughter of Capt. GAVAGAN who formed a company in Auburn, under W. S. SEWARD's patronage and served during the war. Her husband, father and daughter, May CORBETT, survive her. Miss May CORBETT and deceased's step-daughter, Miss Minnie FITZGERALD, have been visiting the latter's grandfather, James FITZGERALD at Skaneatles, for the last week and were informed by telegraph Sunday of Mrs. FITZGERALD's death. They left Sunday night for Chicago. Mrs. Catharine HUGHES, of this city, the wife of James HUGHES, is an aunt of the deceased.

Found Hanging to a Rafter.     Near the Price school house in the town of Virgil, and about four miles directly south from Cortland, lives Mr. Salem WILCOX. He owns a small farm and is a very respectable citizen. His son, Fred, aged 26 years, resided with him and worked on the farm. At about 4 o'clock last Sunday afternoon Fred left the house and did not return that night. He had been complaining of feeling poorly for some time and his absence caused his parents to be alarmed. Neighbors and relatives began to search for him Monday morning and the search was kept up until late in the night but no trace of him could be found. On Tuesday morning his brother-in-law, John S. PARK, went to the barn on Mr. WILCOX's premises and found what he had been searching for. Fred was hanging from a rafter over the bay and had evidently been dead for some time. He was taken down and the body carried to the house and Coroner W. J. MOORE was notified. He had cut a gash in the left arm just above the elbow over the brachial artery, but did not sever it. He had also attempted to cut the same artery in the right arm, but only succeeded in cutting a vein. Undoubtedly he became satisfied that he would not bleed to death, an so he took a rope halter and typing one end to the rafter over the bay, dug a hole in the bay to keep his feet from touching, and standing on a higher spot, adjusted the halter about his neck and swung himself off. Mr. PARKS [sic] had searched the barn carefully the night before without finding any trace of him and it is believed that he was hiding in the barn at the time, especially as a hole was found dug out in one corner and Fred's coat was hidden there.
    Young WILCOX was highly respected by all who knew him and had a large circle of acquaintances and friends who sincerely mourn his untimely end. He was engaged to be married to Miss Eva SPENCER of the same place, and it is understood that the event was to have taken place in the near future. His brother Chauncey has been an inmate of the County Alms House for some time and has occasional spells of insanity. At all other times, and in fact most of the time he is perfectly sane and harmless.
    Coroner MOORE empanelled a jury from the neighbors and held a inquest on Wednesday. The jury found that the deceased came to his death by suicide while temporarily insane.

Fatal Accident. Just as we were going to press, one of the most painful accidents occurred that it has ever been our duty record resulting in the death of Mr. Barnum S. TANNER, one of our most esteemed and highly respected citizens. Mr. TANNER was at the depot on the arrival of the 12:28 train, and had just taken a seat in the conveyance of Mr. J. H. COLE, for the purpose of coming up town, while Mr. COLE was unloosing the horse. Before the reins could be reached the horse started suddenly and ran with terrific speed, turning the corner at Lewis street, so short that the wagon was overturned, throwing Mr. TANNER out with such force and in such a manner as to break his neck. Life was extinct by the time that he was reached, and it was found that the leg of a commercial traveler whose name we have not learned, who was seated beside him, was also broken. The body of Mr. TANNER was immediately taken to his home, where it is being prepared for burial. The blow falls with crushing force upon the family, who have been sorely afflicted within a few years past by visitations of death. For want of time we are compelled to forego further remark until our next issue. - Dryden Echo, Aug. 24.
Mr. TANNER was a brother of Mr. A. F. TANNER, of the firm of Tanner bros., of this place, and leaves two sons and three daughters. The gentleman who was in the wagon with him was Mr. O. W. SEARS, of Binghamton, whose injuries were more serious than was first supposed. His leg was not broken, but his right arm and left leg were severely bruised and he suffered from concussion of the brain caused by striking upon his head in the road. He was taken to his home on Tuesday. Miss Jennie PADDOCK, of Syracuse, was also in the wagon and was thrown out, but was not seriously injured, although she was badly shaken up. She was on a visit to Mr. Tanner's family, and Mr. TANNER was at the depot to meet her. Miss PADDOCK is engaged to Mr. Tanner's son, who is seriously ill and not expected to recover.

Died. PECK - In Cortland, N.Y., Aug.31, 1889, Susan Wells, wife of Hon. R. T. PECK, aged 54 years.

In Memoriam. Susan Wells PECK, wife of Hon. R. T. PECK, died at her home on Greenbush Street, in Cortland, N.Y., Aug. 31, 1889.
    She was born in King, Ontario, Canada, Aug. 22nd, 1835. Her father was a native of England, and among the early settlers of the county of York, in the Province of Ontario, of which Province her mother was a native. She formed the acquaintance of her future husband, while attending his school as a pupil, and they were married June 25th, 1859, by the Rev. Dr. James DICK, a Presbyterian clergyman, of whose church her family were members. Prior to her marriage about one year, she was baptized by Elder LISTER, an Evangelist of the Disciple Church, with which she was connected, until she united with the First Baptist Church of Solon, in 1867. Afterwards upon her removal to Cortland in 1876, she united with the First Baptist Church of this village. Her eldest brother William, of Aurora, is a retired farmer; another, Gabriel, of Acton, is an Evangelist of the Disciple Church. The Hon. James P., of Aurora, another brother, was a member of the Canadian parliament for twelve years; a third Walter W., of Waterloo, is a doctor of Dental Surgery. Her only sister is Betsey, Mrs. Robert NORMAN, of Lexington, Mich.
    Her children are Louise N., wife of W. E. ALBEE, of Minneapolis, Minn., Arthur R., a merchant of Cortland, Frank J., cashier of the National Bank of Cortland, and Fred. R. PECK.
    Mrs. PECK was reared in the strictest manner by her parents, under the discipline of the Presbyterian faith. Her father's family were noted for longevity, most of a large family recording the age of nearly ninety years. She was a very active, exemplary Christian, a member of Mr. E. P. Slafter's Bible class from the time she united with the church until her death. Mrs. PECK was a consistent Christian and always ready to do her duty. She was sympathetic, a friend to the poor, and none came to her door needy who went away empty handed. Quiet and unostentatious, she sought no notoriety, but tried to fill her place as wife and mother. During her sickness she said "If my time has come I am ready to go." She was exemplary in her life work and set a christian example before her children, whom she lived to see grown to manhood and become members of the church.
    We are forcibly reminded that we are [now?] among the shadows. How heavy they sometimes lie along our pathway. She died in hope. Very soon the shadows shall flee away. Weeping may endure for a night but joy cometh in the morning. Till the morning dawns let us who still are where the shadows linger, be comforted with the comfort God gives, and do with all diligence the work given us.

13 Sep 1889

Death of Rev. O. H. SEYMOUR. Rev. O. H. SEYMOUR, a former pastor of the Presbyterian church in this village, died at his home in Onondaga Valley, last Sunday, aged sixty-three years. Mr. SEYMOUR was educated at the Michigan University and Union Theological Seminary. In January, 1858, he came to Cortland and assumed the pastorate of the Presbyterian church. In September, 1863, he resigned to accept the office of chaplain of the 157th regiment. After the close of the war he held pastorates at Hammondsport, Trumansburgh, Port Byron and Onondaga Valley. A few months before coming to Cortland to reside, he married Miss Mary L. BLODGETT, a sister of Mr. Alonzo D. BLODGETT, who died in 1862, leaving a son. In 1866 Mr. SEYMOUR married Miss Harriet HOES, of Kingston, who, with two daughters, survive him. Mr. SEYMOUR was a Christian gentleman, and was greatly respected by all who knew him. The funeral services were held in Onondaga Valley on Wednesday forenoon, and the body was buried in the cemetery in this place, in the afternoon of the same day.

Died. SEYMOUR - In Onondaga Valley, N.Y., September 8, 1889, Rev. O. H. SEYMOUR, aged 62 years and eleven months.

Died. JORDAN - In Taylor Center, N.Y., September 13, 1889, Miss Nina E., daughter of A. H. and Hattie JORDAN, aged 15 years and 10 months.

Taylor. Miss Nina E. JORDN died at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. H. JORDAN, at about seven o'clock Friday evening September 13, aged 15 years, ten months and eight days. For nearly a year she has been gradually declining, despite all that medical skill and loving hands could do for her. The end came a little sooner than was expected but there was no hope that she could ever get well. We should all feel thankful that she was spared from further suffering and that she has gone to that land where there is no more toil and suffering; where she said she was going, just before she breathed her last. She recognized all her old friends as they came in and surrounded her bedside. She said to them: "I am dying;" and to each one she said "good bye." She also bid them tell her absent friends that she bid them all good bye and to meet her in heaven. We have never seen anyone more reconciled than was she. She fully realized that she was fast passing over the river. Just before she died she told her parents who she wished to preach her funeral sermon. Nina was a girl of more than ordinary intelligence. To her credit, be it said, she was no back biter. What she had to say she said to one's face. All her life she has lived among us, and during that time she has maintained an upright character and an honorable life. She had many friends. Integrity and morality were marked traits of her character. To a friend, a few days before she died, she said: "Once I thought it was hard to die, but now ______." Her mother then entering the room, the sentence remained unfinished. We leave it with the reader to conjecture what she intended to say. The funeral was held from the house Monday, Rev. W. H. ROBERTSON officiating. A large concourse of friends and neighbors were present to testify by their presence and by the profusion of flowers, with which they surrounded the casket, the respect with which they held the deceased, whom we all loved. A letter of condolence was received from Miss Elizabeth HATHAWAY. The family wish to extend to all who manifested by their presence and to those who brought flowers and furnished music, their sincere thanks.

Kicked to Death. Last Sunday, Frank O'BEIRNE, aged 16 years and residing with his mother on the hill east of Homer, borrowed a horse and carriage of Thos. LUCY and took his sister, Mrs. Thos. SULLIVAN and her sister-in-law Miss Kate SULLIVAN out riding. After driving to Cortland they started for Preble. From Preble they drove to Baltimore on the east side of the valley and when near the residence of Collier VanHOESEN, O'BEIRNE leaned over the dashboard and attempted to adjust the breeching of the harness, when the colt let both heels fly striking him in the stomach and knocking him out of the buggy. Some men who stood near by ran to their assistance and caught the horse, which had kicked himself free from the vehicle. The ladies got out of the wagon and went to where young O'BEIRNE lay apparently lifeless. A physician was hastily summoned who pronounced life extinct. He was carried into Mr. VanHOESEN's house and an examination showed that he was hit in the pit of the stomach and that death must have followed almost instantly. The sad news was conveyed to his mother at once, and Messrs. Mourin Bros., the undertakers of this place, went after the body and brought it to his home in Homer. Miss SULLIVAN was also hit in the face, but was not seriously hurt. O'BEIRNE's funeral was held on Wednesday morning.

27 Sep 1889

Killed by the Cars. At about 6 o'clock last Saturday afternoon, Daniel McBREARTY, for the past five years night watchman at the E., C. & N. car shops, boarded engine No. 8 at or near the round house just west of Owego street, intending to ride down to the car shops between Owego and South Main streets. He was not seen alive again by any one after the train passed Owego street, but was picked up on the track near the car shops dead and horribly mangled. It is supposed that he undertook to jump from the engine and fell under the wheels of the tender which passed over him. He was carried to his late residence, No. 18 Squires street, and Coroner MOORE was notified. The following named persons were summoned as a Coroner's Jury and an inquest was held at Firemen's Hall on Monday morning, after viewing the body: A. W. KEELER, A. GORDENIER, J. TUTTLE, John CONWAY, W. M. TURNER, N. H. WINTER, A.TERRELL, Wm. DONNEGAN, J. C. THOMPSON. Mr. KEELER was sworn as foreman. The post-mortem examination was made by Dr. DANA. After hearing the evidence the jury rendered the following verdict: -
"That Daniel McBREARTY came to his death by being struck by the tender of engine No. 8, in the yard of the E., C. & N. railroad, Saturday, Sept. 21st, 1889, and that his death was purely accidental."
Mr. McBREARTY was an industrious and respected citizen, forty-five years of age, and leaves a wife and two children. By his industry and economy he had paid for a comfortable home since he came to this place from Marathon, some six or seven years since. The funeral was held on Monday last.

Died. JENNINGS - In Harford, N.Y., September 21, 1889, Ransom JENNINGS.

Died. NORTHRUP - In Marathon, N.Y., September 17, 1889, Mrs. Olive NORTHRUP, aged 76 years.

HOMICIDE IN PREBLE.
Robert W. Griswold Shoots Dennis O' Shea in a Quarrel Tuesday Morning.     Last Tuesday morning the citizens of Preble were somewhat startled to learn that Robert W. GRISWOLD, who resides with his son on a farm about three miles east of Preble Corners, had shot his neighbor, Dennis O'SHEA. For some months past there has been some feeling between the parties over the fact that O'SHEA's cows were frequently found on GRISWOLD's premises. Although the farm is owned by GRISWOLD's son Robert, the old gentleman has taken it upon himself to do fault-finding and quarrelling with O'SHEA. GRISWOLD'S farm adjoins the Truxton town line and lies on both sides of the road running east and west in the direction of Truxton village. Another road runs parallel with this highway and about a mile south. A few rods west of GRISWOLD's house is a cross road leading to the last mentioned road and O'SHEA and family, consisting of a wife and five or six children, lived on this cross road about midway between the two roads running east and west. There is a piece of woods between GRISWOLD's house and O'SHEA's.
    A warrant was issued by Justice Frank DALEY, soon after the news of the shooting reached Preble and the same was placed in the hands of Constables A. W. MORGAN and Henry CURRIE, who started for the home of GRISWOLD. He could not be found, but Mrs. GRISWOLD was seen driving towards Homer and she was followed. On arriving at the latter place she drove about on several streets and finally stopped at the residence of Geo. STEBBINS where she stayed to dinner; after which she resumed her journey and drove straight to the jail in this place, where the officers found GRISWOLD, who had given himself up to the sheriff. The officers took him to Preble on the 3:08 accommodation train. The examination was adjourned until Wednesday at 10 A.M., and the prisoner was brought to Cortland for safekeeping and returned in the morning.
    The People were represented by District Attorney BRONSON, and Frank PIERCE of Homer appeared for the prisoner.
    The first and only witness summoned was Daniel O'SHEA, second son of the deceased and who is about 19 or 20 years of age. His evidence was substantially as follows: "I had just got up and dressed and was at the top of the stairs when GRISWOLD appeared on his own premises and said to father 'Your cattle are in my lot.' Father said 'Whose fence did they get over?' GRISWOLD answered, 'Not mine.' Father then said, 'I will go and get them out and see whose fence they got over.' As they were walking away across the lot, father said 'What are you doing with that gun?' GRISWOLD answered, 'I'm hunting.' They then disappeared between the two barns and had been gone about eight minutes when I heard father yell 'put down that gun.' I ran and stood upon the linefence between GRISWOLD's farm and ours and saw father about 10 rods on GRISWOLD's land and about ten feet from GRISWOLD himself, dodging back and forth trying to confuse GRISWOLD's aim. Finally GRISWOLD fired and father fell after walking two or three steps. GRISWOLD said 'Ther G-d d---m you,' and then turned and ran toward his own home. I returned and went after a doctor and made a complaint against GRISWOLD. Before the warrant for his arrest could be served, however, GRISWOLD had walked the entire 14 miles to Cortland and given himself up to Sheriff BORTHWICK. Father was shot between 7 and 8 o'clock in the morning and died at 2:35 in the afternoon."
    GRISWOLD was held to await the action of the Grand Jury and was brought to Cortland and landed in jail.
    The line fence between the two families is near O'SHEA's house. It is claimed by parties who talked with the witness after the occurrence that his first story does not agree in scarcely any particular with the story he told on the stand. It is also claimed that Mrs. O'SHEA, who was standing in the door of her house at the time of the shooting, does not agree with her son.
    Coroner BRADFORD of Homer, summoned the following jury on Wednesday morning: John H. GAY, John MANCHESTER, Richard EGBERTSON, Edwin WILBUR, Seth HOBART and Frank J. COLLIER. After viewing the remains, the evidence of Justice Perry HAYNES, who produced an ante-mortem statement, and the evidence of Mrs. O'SHEA was taken and the inquest was adjourned until Monday at 10 A.M.
    The gun used was a shot gun and the charge struck O'SHEA in the left side just below the heart, making a hole as large as a silver dollar and a much larger one on the opposite side where it came out. The charge passed through the diaphragm, kidneys and spleen. The funeral was held Thursday morning.
    O'SHEA was about 55 years of age, and is said to have been of a quarrelsome disposition and disposed to fight on rather slight provocation.
    Somewhere about 1868 or 1869 GRISWOLD turned up in Homer and opened a watch repairing shop. He traveled about the country on foot a good part of the time calling at farmhouses to repair watches and clocks. About 1870 or 1871, he moved to Cortland and after a while located in the rooms now occupied by the Gas company's office on Court street, where he hung out a sign as a watch repairer. Business in his line not being very good he added bill posting, and frequently traveled about the county posting and distributing bills. He invariably wore a stove pipe hat, with an open faced silver watch fastened about midway between the crown and rim in front, and was known everywhere as "the man with a watch in his hat." After several years of unsuccessful effort in business here he left town and the next we heard of him he was running a small farm in McLean and was trying, with some prospects of success, to revolutionize the potato growing industry. For one season at least he astonished everybody with the size and yield of his "bulbous roots" and sold his large crop at high prices. A year ago last spring he went to live on the farm where the killing was done, with his son Jay, who had rented it. Last spring his son Robert bought the place, Jay moving to East River, and the old man remained with Robert.
    GRISWOLD is about 65 years of age, very slim and about five feet nine inches in height. His health has always been good and he is an excellent pedestrian. He has always been considered a sort of harmless crank, and no one who knew him would have imagined he could muster up spunk enough to kill anybody.

25 Oct 1889

Marathon. On Wednesday noon of last week, Burnham HUNT committed suicide by cutting his throat with a razor, severing the windpipe and jugular veins. He was first discovered by the housekeeper, in the residence of his father, lying on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood, the razor with which he committed the deed lying near. Dr. L. G. SMART, who resides near, was notified at once, but it was too late to save him. He lingered about two hours and died. When the doctor closed the wound he was able to talk, and on inquiring why he did the deed, he said he was tired of living any longer. Mr. HUNT was of intemperate habits, but for some time past had not indulged himself. His father died a short time ago, and perhaps this may have caused in a measure the fatal deed. We learn that he seemed to be brooding over something for some days previous and was more melancholy than usual. He leaves a son and a daughter, both of whom reside in Cortland. He was fifty-two years old.

Dell BOYDEN died on Wednesday morning of last week on Cortland street. An autopsy was held on his body the following day. He had been ill for several years with a peculiar disease that baffled every physician he consulted.

At the autopsy was found cancer of the pancreas and slight thickening of the lower valves of the stomach, with some tubercles in the abdomen. The lungs, liver, heart, kidneys and spleen were all in a healthy state except reduced in size from lack of nourishment. He never suffered much pain. The physicians present were A. D. REED, E. H. BARNES, C. B. TRAFFORD, Wm. M. BRADFORD, D. C. CLARK, E. WINTERS, G. L. SMART, and Dr. GRIDLEY of Whitney's Point.

Death of William S. Brockway.     William S. BROCKWAY, one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of Homer died at his home in that village October 24, 1889. He was born in Cortland June 6, 1819 but passed his early years in Groton and Cincinnatus. When he was twelve years old the family moved to Homer where his father engaged in business as a cabinet maker. Before he was of age he became the manager of the business and very soon was at the head of a large and lucrative establishment. In October 1860 he married Miss Edith HINE of Preble.
    In 1875 Mr. BROCKWAY commenced the manufacture of wagons and to this business he brought the same rare tact and business sagacity that he had exhibited in the furniture trade and it was a success from the start. With only moderate means to start with, he soon overcame every obstacle and for some years past had been making money rapidly. His wagons found a ready sale everywhere and they stood high in the estimation of dealers.
    Something over a year ago his health failed him, but his courage and energy stood by him and kept him about his business when many other men would have been in bed. He had a kindly disposition and made many friends who were sincerely attached to him. He had undoubtedly done more for Homer than any other of her citizens and his loss will be keenly felt. The business had been so thoroughly systemized, however, and the several members of his family are so thoroughly familiar with every department of it, that it will go on as usual.
    The funeral services were held at the family home on the 27th ult., and were conducted by Rev. W. A. ROBINSON, assisted by Rev. A. N. DAMON. Mr. BROCKWAY leaves a widow and four children to mourn his loss.

HOWE, formerly a resident of this town, and who lived with his son on a farm a few miles northward of this village, took two ounces of laudanum with suicidal intent on the19th ult. He lived until the following Monday morning, when death resulted. He is said to have lived unpleasantly with his son, and became melancholy and discouraged over his poor health and poverty. He was a carpenter by trade, was industrious and honest, and brought up a large family. For the past few years he had been badly crippled with rheumatism.

22 Nov 1889

Little York. When one of the old pioneers, even of the second generation who assisted in clearing off the primeval forest passes away it is fitting that more than a passing notice be made. In the death of Giles CORL we lose one of our most estimable and abiding citizens. He was next to the youngest of five sons and four daughters of Henry I. CORL, who at an early day settled on East Hill. Giles had passed the three-score and ten years allotted to man by reason of strength of days. It is but little over two years since death made his first demand upon the large family and now he is the fourth to join the silent majority. In the father's allotment of a farm to each son the homestead fell to him and the careful attention which he showed to his parents in their declining years has been returned many-fold by his son. It was the reverence for his parents' wishes that sustained him through a twenty-eight years legal struggle to correct a mistake in the deed which they had given him, more than the intrinsic value at issue. For more than twenty years he had been a most patient and enduring sufferer from heart troubles which at times would confine him to bed, but at all times was mindful of the cares he caused those near him. He never joined any church but his universal generosity and the good will of all his neighbors speaks more than any outward profession. In politics he followed the teachings of his father and Dr. JONES and until confined by sickness a year ago had never failed to be at election and vote the "Democrat" ticket. Rev. Dr. W. A. ROBINSON of Homer preached a most able discourse to a house full of mourning relatives and neighbors on Wednesday, November 13, at 2 P.M. R. J. McELHENY led the quartette which rendered some most beautiful music for which the sorrowing widow, son and daughter feel very thankful. He lay in a beautiful casket surrounded by beautiful flowers of which in his lifetime he was passionately fond while sorrowing neighbors with moistened eyes passing around looked for the last time upon one whose life had not been in vain, and whose good deeds will be remembered when his body shall have returned to dust. He was buried in Glenwood on a lot which already held a dear little granddaughter buried there about a year ago.

Death of Arthur L. Wallace. Arthur L. WALLACE, only son of Mr. D. F. WALLACE of this place, died quite suddenly last Saturday in the seventeenth year of his age. He had been ill little more than a week and had not been considered dangerous until about midnight on Friday when he was awakened by terrible pains in the region of the bowels, which culminated in his death Saturday afternoon. Perforation of the bowels was the cause of death.
Arthur was a very bright and manly youth, rather reserved than otherwise, and gave excellent promise of future usefulness. He possessed a kindly disposition and was as kind and respectful to his parents and sisters as to strangers. Always prompt and willing to serve others and generous to a fault, he made many friends. Very few parents can say truthfully what his parents could say of him, that he never caused them pain by unfilial act or word. The funeral was held from the family residence on Tuesday morning, Rev.
