| ROBINSON |
DR. JOHN A ROBINSON Dr. John A. Robinson died at the Arnot
Ogden Hospital this morning at 7:30 o’clock under very sad circumstances.
Last week Monday while Dr. Robinson was calling on his patients he was
taken ill suddenly with symptoms indicating an attack of appendicitis.
He went directly to the Arnot-Ogden Hospital, where a surgical operation
was performed for the relief of the disease. The patient was improving
satisfactorily until last Tuesday when a case of tetanus, better known
as lockjaw, developed and caused a serious complication, which the attending
physicians were unable to overcome. The case was studied very carefully
and it is the opinion the tetanus was the result of a bite received from
a cat about May 28, the pet having been ill and inflicted the injury while
Dr.Robinson was treating it in the yard at his home. Antitetanic serum
was administered and efforts made to force stimulants into the stomach
but all efforts were in vain. Dr. Robinson remained in a very critical
condition last night and |

REBECCA PACKARD Woman Who Lived In Three Centuries Regarding
the life of the late Mrs. Rebecca Packard, who died at Covington, Pa.,
Tuesday, at the advanced age of 105 years, the Covington Sun says: “Considering
her activity, her bright mind and the preservation of all her faculties
at her great age, she was without doubt the most remarkable woman in Pennsylvania.
She had lived under the administration of every President since the formation
of this government, having been born a year and a half before Washington
retired from the Presidency. She was eleven years of age when Robert Fulton’s
steamboat made its first trip up the Hudson, and she was married six months
before General Andrew Jackson won his victory over the British at New Orleans.
She was a middle-aged woman when he read with interest about Fremont’s
heroic expedition of discovery in the untracked region of the Rocky Mountains,
California and Oregon, and she was comparatively an old woman when the
first railway was built in this country, when Morse |

| SHEARES(a) |
Joshua Sheares, a veteran of the Civil War, was found dead
in bed yesterday at his home in Christian Hollow, under circumstances which
indicate that the aged man had succumbed to delirium tremors after a heavy
debauch. Sheares received his pension on the twelfth of April, and , as
was usual with him at such a time, he proceeded to indulge in a protracted
spree. During this period of intoxication he is known to have plunged deeply
into the desire for liquor, although a few days ago he made an effort to
sober up, and as was his custom, tried to overcome the influence of alcoholism
with doses of morphine. He was noticed last Tuesday morning by the neighbors
with a handkerchief tied about his head. This is the last time he was seen
alive. Mrs. Combs, a sister of Sheares, went to the house yesterday and
found everything in a topsy-turvy condition. Chairs were tumbled about
and nearly everything was out of place. A lamp had been left burning on
a mantle after the oil had been consumed, and the smoldering wick gave |

There were two beds in the room occupied by the old soldier
and his wife. Mrs. Combs was horrified to discover her brother lying cold
and still, his chin touching the edge of his wife’s bed, with the motionless
form of her sister-in-law stretched across him. The condition of the bed
clothing made it evident that there had been a struggle between the aged
pair. Sheares was dead, and his wife unconscious. There were bruises about
her head, face and right side. Mrs. Combs gave the alarm and word was sent
to Frank Qates, a stepson of the deceased, who resides at No. 202 Chestnut
Street, Elmira. Accompanied by Dr. Love, he went to the house and viewed
the ghastly scene. A closer examination showed that Sheares, who had been
dead several hours, had several contusions upon the head, but there is
no means of determining whether he received them from his wife or inflicted
them himself. Mrs. Sheares will probably recover, although she is in a
precarious condition. Coroner Jones, of North Chemung, was informed of
