Miss Ethel Sampson
Last Friday night Ethel, daughter of John Sampson, of Charleston township,
aged about 12 years, was accidentally burned to death in her father’s house
during the absence of her parents. After supper Mr. and Mrs. Sampson went
to the residence of a near neighbor, Mr. Thomas Kelley, leaving Ethel and three
younger children at home. Ethel was expecting to enter school at Mansfield
soon, and after washing up the supper dishes she put the younger children to bed
and then took up her studies for the evening. Finally becoming tired and
sleepy she placed three chairs before the kitchen stove, wrapped herself in a
bed quilt and laid down on the chairs to rest. She fell asleep and was
awakened by fire which had communicated from the stove to the bed quilt and her
clothing. She instantly ran into the bedroom, seized another quilt and
wrapped it about her to smother the flames. Failing in this she rushed out
of doors and throwing herself prostrate on the ground rolled in the snow.
This only served to fan the flames and she returned to the house in time to save
that from destruction by throwing the burning chairs and clothing out of doors.
When the parents returned home the poor girl met them at the door with every
thread of her clothing except the waist band and neck band of her dress burned
from her body. Dr. Mastin of Whitneyville was called, but all efforts to
save her were unavailing and the suffering child died after about seven hours of
the most excruciating torment. Her funeral which was largely attended was
held at the residence of her parents on Saturday last. (Tuesday, January

Mrs. Clark Faulkner
Chatham, January 20, 1882.--The people of Little Marsh have been called
together twice this week to pay the last tribute of respect to the dead.
The funeral of Mrs. Clark Faulkner was held on Sunday. She died very
suddenly on Friday last at or near Danville, Pa., whither she and her husband
had lately moved. (Tuesday, January 24, 1882, The Wellsboro Agitator,
Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
Mrs. Wass
Mrs. Wass, wife of William Wass, died on Sunday last at her home in Chatham,
in her 85th year. She had been in feeble health for many years. Mrs.
Wass was born at Elmira, NY, in 1797, when that place was hardly a hamlet.
She was married to Mr. Wass in 1818. In 1830 they moved into Chatham
township. At that time there was only one public road in the township and
but one span of horses--the property of Reuben Cloos, who was at one time
engaged in the manufacture of pearl ash. At the time of her death, Mrs.
Wass had been a professor of religion for 50 years, and she has now joined the
Church triumphant and has left a most worthy example as a wife, a mother and a
Christian. She lived to raise up a large family of children. The
family circle was not broken until about six years ago, when a daughter died.
The rest of her children--six boys and three girls--are all living, as well as
their father who is 87 years old. There are but few people who live to
enjoy 64 years of married life, as Mr. and Mrs. Wass did. (Tuesday,

Lewis B. Cole
Lewis B. Cole, Esq., died at his residence in Coudersport, Potter county, on
the 10th instant, in the 76th year of his age. He was born in Otsego, NY
and spent his early years in that place. He came to this borough while
still a young man and studied law here, afterwards moving to Coudersport in
1832, where he lived all the rest of his life. He practiced law at the
Potter county bar for a few years, and in 1839 he was chosen the first
Representative from that county in the State Legislature. He afterwards
held the office of Commissioners’ Clerk most acceptably for 25 years. He
was elected Justice of the Peace for five successive terms, and filled in that
office 22 years. Mr. Cole was a man of more than ordinary intelligence,
partly and depth of character. His wife, whom he married in 1834, died
some years ago, and after that bereavement he longingly looked forward to the
time when he might meet her again in a better world. He was in this
village last Christmas tide on a visit to relatives and old friends, and at that
time he seemed strongly impressed with the belief that he was “almost home,” and
he looked forward to his departure with an unfaltering trust and quiet joy.
And now he has solved the mystery that lies right before us all, and no doubt it
is well with him. (Tuesday, February 28, The Wellsboro Agitator,

Last Sunday morning Mr. Cyrus Dartt, died at his residence in this borough

and older brothers cut the road through from Spencer’s mills to Dartt Settlement
in Charleston township, which was then an unbroken wilderness with two or three
log houses where Wellsboro now stands. The county then embraced only two
townships--Delmar and Tioga. The land for the farm which still remains in
the family, was purchased of the Bingham Estate at $1.25 an acre. A long
life of Christian rectitude won for Mr. Dartt the respect of all his
acquaintances. He leaves behind him the most that any man can hope to
leave--an unblemished reputation. The funeral will be held from his late
residence this afternoon. (Tuesday, June 20, 1882, The Wellsboro Agitator,
