| An exchange says some people go to church to weep, others to sleep. Some go their wives to please, their conscience others go to ease. Some go to tell their woes, others go to show their clothes. Boys go the girls to squeeze, girls go the boys to tease—Many go for sage reflections; precious few to help collections. |
| EAST SULLIVAN ITEMS Mrs. Charley Beardslee was seriously hurt by being thrown over the bank on Bailey Hill while on her way to Troy with her son and family some days ago. They were in a democrat wagon and all went over except Mrs. Ed. Beardslee, who jumped with one child in her arms. The team, wagon and all, went down the bank. This accident happened on the very spot where Mrs. Joseph Card was thrown and killed three weeks ago. Mrs. Beardslee is some better at this writing but is yet in a critical condition. |
| JULIA ANN SMITH Julia Ann Smith, widow of Isaac Smith, of Sullivan died on Dec 24, in the 75th year of her age. The funeral took place at the house on Dec. 26, with interment at Gray’s Valley cemetery. Death came from a sudden breaking down, due to old age, she being confined to her bed but five days. As soon as her condition was realized Hobart Webster, of Elizabeth, NJ, whose home was with Mrs. Smith from infancy until a few years ago, was sent for. He came at once and stayed with her until the end. She was the last of her family, her husband having died two years ago, and her two daughters—Mrs. B. C. Smith and Mrs. O. O. Dodge—five years ago. During the past four years her son-in-law, O. O. Dodge, has been with her and ministered to her every want. Mrs. Smith was a woman of many noble, Christian virtues, and she will not only be missed by a large circle of friends, but by many a poor person who has been assisted by reason of her generosity.

| One of the boys who recently left Chickamanga for the new camp at Lexington, Ky., says the following was one of the songs in Camp Thomas: “Backward, turn backward, oh time, in your flight, feed me on grub again just for a night; I am so weary of sole-leather steak, petrified hardtack a sledge could not break, tomatoes and beans in a watery bath, salt-pork as strong as Goliath of Gath; weary of starving on what I can’t eat, chewing up rubber and calling it meat. Backward, turn backward, for weary I am, give me a whack at my grandmamma’s jam; let me drink milk that has never been skimmed, let me eat butter whose hair has been trimmed; let me have once more an old-fashioned pie, then I’ll be ready to go south and die.” |
| TELLS HOW IT HAPPENED. An Authoritative Statement of the Rutland Shooting Affair Mr. G. J. Morrell, of Rutland, the tragic death of whose son was noted in our last issue, sends us the following version of the sad affair: Freddie Furman and his cousin and bosom friend, Frankie Morrell, went hunting as was their custom on days when not in school. They returned from their sport about three o’clock to the Morrell boy’s home; had luncheon, got the consent of Mr. Morrell to take them to a concert given at Daggetts Mills that evening; they agreed to help each other with their chores. With this in view they went to the barn where the accident occurred. Freddie went to put his gun up when in someway the gun was discharged. Frankie says,"I am shot.” The boys went to the house together, Frankie walking unsupported, told his parents he was shot, but Freddie was not to blame. Freddie who was nearly crazed with grief was sent for Dr. O. S. Nye of Roseville who sent for Squires of Elmira and Voorhess, of Daggetts Mills, to |

About the first of September, while representing the company in Pennsboro, West Virginia, Mr. Austin was taken sick and returned to his home and family at Allentown.

| DeWITT | DEATH OF MARY DeWITT Mary H. DeWitt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. DeWitt died at her home Thursday morning, March 18, 1897, nineteen years.

S., and expected to graduate at the coming Commencement. Medical assistance was called at once, and all that skill and loving hands could do, was done to restore her to health. But the disease, spinal meningitis, would not release its grip, and after nearly three weeks of intense pain, and suffering, she peacefully passed to the eternal world. Besides a father and mother, and a half sister, she leaves a large circle of relatives and friends to mourn, what seemed to them, her untimely death. Providence is hard to understand, and we are inclined to ask the question, Why? But God’s way is not our way or God’s plan our plan; but in every affliction He can give us grace to say, "Thy will be done". Mary was a young lady who was loved and respected by all who knew her, and the mourning friends have the sympathy of all who knew her. She was a daughter that appreciated all that parents could do for her, and improved all the advantages given her. She was a faithful and hard-working student, an affectionate, and dutiful daughter, and a sincere Christian. What is our loss is heaven’s gain. “No pain can break her quiet sleep, A blessed calm will ever keep Her silent breast. The peace of death lies on her heart, And for long suffering has no part In this deep rest. So still! No quivering nerve can stir, No nursing fever comes to her, Ah! This is best. This chill sweet sleep that comes at last, When many days and nights are past, This perfect rest. Yes, life is good, but death is peace; There weariness and suffering cease, And useless quest. Now she has nothing more to bear, Untouched by earthly pain or care, She is at rest.” The funeral services were held at the M. E. Church, Mainesburg, March 20, at 2 p.m., Rev. H. E. Hyde, her pastor, officiating, and was one of the largest ever held in the place. A large number of students from the Normal were present. The bearers were selected from her class. Dr. Albro spoke in very fitting terms of the high esteem in which she was held by her teachers and classmates. The floral offerings were beautiful. If any were to be especially mentioned, it would be the pillow presented by her class. She was laid at rest in the Mainesburg Cemetery, there to sleep until the resurrection morning. |

| EDGETON | MARY E. ROBBINS MRS. Mary E. Robbins died suddenly at her home in Sullivan, Pa., July 23rd, 1894, aged 71 years and 7 months.

She was married in the year 1842 to Dexter Robbins, who died Feb. 17, 1880, leaving the widow and four children to mourn his loss. Mrs. Robbins was a charter member of the East Sullivan Free Baptist Church. All who knew her respected and loved her as a true devoted christian. During the last lonely fourteen years of her life she devoted much energy and time to the work of the church. Her seat was seldom vacant at any of the church services. Her home was an open one for all ministers of the gospel and now that she is gone she will be missed by many. But we rejoice that although no longer here to gladden our hearts with her presence she has gone to a better and brighter country. A number of relatives including two sons and two daughters are left to mourn the loss of one whose memory will ever be dear to them. May the God of their mother and friend be their comforter.

The funeral of the husband was held on Sunday and Mrs. Horton will be buried today. Three daughters survive them, namely, Mrs. Wilmot Baker of Rutland, Mrs. Preston of Austinville, and Mrs., Rose Mason of Wellsboro. The case was such a perplexing one to the doctor in attendance he deemed it best to hold an inquest and notified Coroner Hazelett, who is at this writing, looking into the matter. LATER.—As Coroner Hazlett passed through town the following additional facts were obtained: That Stephen Horton was poisoned by his wife with “Rough on Rats,: that she had taken a little herself but not in sufficient quantity to cause death, and in order to subdue the pain, had taken an overdose of some other poison, with fatal effect; that Mrs. Horton had shown symptoms of insanity for the past three years, avowing that she did not want to live where they did, and at one time set fire to the house; that she asked the attending doctor while she was sick, if she could not take mustard water, eggs, etc. such as would naturally counteract poison, showing conclusively she knew what had been done. After the testimony of the neighbors and the Drs. Nye was in, the jury rendered a verdict in accordance, which was substantially that death was caused by poison administered by the wife during on of her insane spells. |
