James Carlyle, whose death in London in announced, was the opposite of his celebrated brother, Thomas, in the amiableness of his character and disposition to see the bright side of life.  But like Thomas he had his peculiar habits, one of which--that of watching mice in a room--made him the highest authority in all England on small wild wood and house vermin.  (Tuesday, May 20, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

George W. Nesmith
The recent death of Judge George W. Nesmith at Franklin Falls, NH, in his 90th year, removes another of the personal friends of Daniel Webster, and doubtless the only survivor of the coterie who knew the “great expounder” in his early days.  Judge Nesmith had been a prominent figure in the affairs of the Granite State for more than half a century, and was an active and interested man to the last, especially devoted to the welfare of Dartmouth College of which he was a trustee, and of the State Agricultural College of which he was president.  (Tuesday, May 20, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

James Nasmyth
James Nasmyth, the great Scotch engineer and inventor of the steam hammer, is dead at the age of 82.  He was born in Edinburgh in 1808 and was the son of a noted painter.  The steam hammer and the steam pile-driver, which was a modification of it, made Nasmyth’s fortune.  He was sent for to supply machine tools for the dockyards and arsenals of France, Spain, Italy and Russia, and every finished contract brought him new customers, so that he was able to retire at 48 with a reputation as an innovator in mechanics which has not been equaled in Great Britain except by Watt.  His devices number more than 40, and nearly all of them are important and have become part of the commonplace of mechanical engineering.  In 1856 he retired from business with an ample fortune, and he employed his active leisure in cultivating flowers and astronomy, and “whistling for amusement.”  His astronomical ability brought him in contact with the great astronomers of his day.  He published a book on the moon, and in 1883 his autobiography appeared edited by Samuel Smiles, of “Self-Help” fame.  (Tuesday, May 20, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. Lucius Truman
Lucius Truman, a well known citizen of this borough, died at his home on Charleston street last Friday afternoon.  He had for a long time been in failing health, but his strong vitality enabled him again and again to rally from the painful and prostrating attacks of incurable disease.  Three or four weeks ago he was confined to the house by distressing symptoms that soon led his friends to see that the end was near.  But although he suffered greatly and fully recognized the gravity of his situation, he maintained a cheerful spirit so long as consciousness lasted, and finally passed peacefully away to that rest which must have been for him a blessed release from long continued and hopeless suffering.  Early in the present century Mr. Asa Truman was a prominent businessman of Owego, the county town of Tioga county, New York.  He was engaged in business as a country merchant and lumberman, selling general merchandise to his neighbors and manufacturing lumber which he rafted down the Susquehanna river on the spring freshes.  It was on the 18th of April, 1818, that the home of this busy man of affairs was gladdened by the birth of a son whom his parents named Lucius and who grew to a vigorous manhood in his native village.  Winding up his school days with his graduation from the Owego Academy, the young man went to work with his father and remained so employed until after his marriage.  That event took place in 1840, when young Truman was 22 years old, his bride being Miss Mary P. Leach, a young lady of Owego.  Shortly after his marriage the young husband went into business on his own account, entering into partnership with Mr. William A. Stone, of Owego.  The partners engaged in the general lumbering business.  Truman attending to the outdoor work of the firm.  The first partnership did not last a great while, however, and after its dissolution Mr. Truman came to this region and formed a business connection with Mr. John R. Bowen who was also from Owego.  The firm engaged extensively in lumbering on Pine Creek and its tributaries, and they prospered until 1857, when the partners made heavy purchases of lands in Minnesota and Wisconsin.  These investments were made at an unfavorable time, and the financial panic which almost immediately followed involved the firm in losses which made it necessary to wind up the partnership affairs.  Mr. Truman then moved to Philadelphia where he remained until the breaking out of the Rebellion, when he came back here and helped to raise and organize a company of Union volunteers.  On the 15th of May, 1861, he was mustered into the service as First Lieutenant of Company E of the First Rifles--the old Bucktails--and he was mustered out as Quartermaster of the same regiment on the 28th of July, 1865, having served with conspicuous fidelity and ability for four years.  After the war he again formed a partnership with Mr. Bowen in the lumber business.  The firm was prosperous until it met with a heavy loss by the burning of the sash and blind factory at the foot of Main street in June, 1878.  The partnership continued, however, until Mr. Truman was appointed Deputy Collector of Internal Revenue in 1883.  He faithfully discharged the duties of this responsible post until the election of a Democratic President resulted in the appointment of a successor holding that political faith.  Of late years Mr. Truman has held several borough offices which were mainly valuable as public testimonials of the good will and confidence of his neighbor.  He was elected County Auditor in 1887, and for three or four years past he has been Crier of the Courts.  Mr. Truman’s first wife died in 1864, leaving six children, five of whom are still living.  In 1873 he married Miss Mary D. Doumaux, of Charlestown township, who survives him, together with two young daughters.  Personally Mr. Truman was most companionable--a man of decided convictions and fixed principles and at the same time of broad views and genial humor.  He was a faithful soldier, a diligent public officer, a vigorous, enterprising business man, a good citizen and a kind neighbor, and he has left many friends who will long regret his loss.  The funeral was held at the family residence on Charlestown street yesterday afternoon at two o’clock.  It was attended by a large delegation of the George Cook Post of the G. A. R. in uniform and by many of Mr. Truman’s friends and neighbors.  The services were conducted by Rev. O. S. Chamberlayne, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church.  (Tuesday, May 27, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. Lee Hill
A sad accident occurred at Rasling’s hall in Lawrenceville about midnight last Tuesday by which Lee Hill, a young man about 21 years of age lost his life.  The Adorn Club was holding a dancing party in the hall and the evening was being greatly enjoyed by the young people.  Young Hill had been dancing with Miss Kittie Kuhl and they were promenading about the hall when Hill suggested that they step out upon the roof of the one story addition to the building to enjoy the cool evening air.  The roof is flat and covers the office of Wing & Bostwick.  It is a few inches below the sill of one of the hall windows but extends only about half way across the second window.  Both windows were wide open for ventilation.  Many of the dancers had stepped out of the first window to the roof in safety.  By mistake the young couple approached the second window.  Hill stepped out intending to assist his partner.  Miss Kuhl heard his foot touch the edge of the roof, then he swayed suddenly and pitched off into the darkness.  She screamed and several gentlemen ran down to the young man’s assistance.  Hill was found lying unconscious upon the walk with his head bent under his body.  His head had struck on the edge of the office steps, causing concussion of the brain.  He was carried to the hall and then taken to his home.  He lingered in an unconscious condition until Thursday noon, when he died.  Lee Hill was the only son of Mr. James N. Hill and he was idolized by his parents and loved by the whole community.  He had best a clerk in the store of Messrs Wing & Bostwick for some time.  He was a young man of excellent habits, genial disposition and bright intellect, and he had won the respect and esteem of all who knew him.  His tragic death has cast a gloom over the whole community.  The funeral was held on Saturday afternoon, and it was largely attended.  It is related that Hill’s grandmother held a strange presentiment in connection with this accident.  She lives with the family in Lawrenceville, but at the time of the accident was visiting relatives at Beaver Dams, NY.  The old lady arose on Wednesday morning and told her friends that she must return immediately to Lawrenceville as she had a strange presentiment of trouble at home, and refused to be dissuaded from her purpose.  She took the first train arriving home at 11 o’clock a. m., and knew nothing of the accident until informed of it by the bus driver upon her arrival at the Lawrenceville depot. (Tuesday, July 22, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. E. B. Campbell
Mr. E. B. Campbell, the general superintendent of the Pennsylvania Joint Lumber and Land Company, died at his home in Williamsport last Thursday after a short sickness.  His trouble was Bright’s disease.  Mr. Campbell was 70 years of age.  He was well known in this county, where he held intimate business relations with many people for a long period.  The Williamsport Gazette and Bulletin says that in the death of Mr. Campbell, Williamsport loses one of its best citizens, and his family an affectionate husband and father.  Ebenezer B. Campbell was born in Johnson, Scotland, March 4, 1820.  He came to this country in the year 1836, at the age of 16 years, landing in New York.  The day after his arrival in New York he secured a position in Schleffelle’s(?) drug store on Canal street and remained there five years.  In 1841 he left New York to accept a clerkship in the store of A. C. Bush at Tioga.  In 1843 he came to Wellsboro to serve as a clerk in the store of C & J L Robinson, where he remained until 1845, when he entered the employ of Phelps, Dodge & Company, locating at Manchester Mills.  He took charge of all the business of the firm in Tioga county.  From there he removed to Phelps Mill still in the service of the Company, and while there he supervised the building of a saw mill and dam for Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Company.  He had the general management of the business in Phelps, Dodge & Company from 1845 until 1871 in Tioga county, and in that year removed to Williamsport and took charge of the Dodge mills, which property was subsequently transferred to the Pennsylvania Joint Lumber and Land Company.  Mr. Campbell becoming general superintendent of all.  From the above it will be seen that he started with the business of Phelps, Dodge & Company in its infancy and continued with it up to the time of his death, seeing it grow up to immense proportions.  This great firm had so much faith in his judgment and general business ability that at his suggestion they would contract for the purchases of many thousands of acres of timber lands and Mr. Campbell would handle the money to pay for the property.  Greatly through the remarkable ability of Mr. Campbell the Dodge mills are what are they are today.  His first marriage was on August 6, 1847, to Encte(?) DePui at Tioga.  By this lady his children were William, Elijah, Jennie and Jerusha.  Elijah was drowned at Phelps Mills in 1858, where the mother died June 2, 1854.  His second marriage was on June 26, 1855, at Jersey Shore, to Mary A. Imms who survives him.  The following were born to him by this lady Eben, Elijah, Henry, Charles, Kate, Frank and Mary.  Kate and Charles are numbered with the dead.  While a resident of Tioga, Mr. Campbell became a member of the Baptist Church, this was in 1841, and from that time up to his death, he had been a consistent and earnest Christian gentleman, and liberal in his contributions to the Church.  He was one of the first to establish the First Baptist Church of Williamsport, and that congregation will most severely mourn the death of Mr. Campbell.  The funeral was held yesterday morning at 11 o’clock at the family residence.  Rev. George Cooper, D. D., of Richmond, Virginia, and formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church of Williamsport, was the officiating clergyman.  The remains were interred in Wildwood cemetery.  (Tuesday, July 22, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Osceola, July 26, 1890.--The body of Mrs. Betsey Tripp, who was one of the persons drowned here in the flood on the 7th of June last, was found near Cook’s station on the Corning, Cowanesque and Antrim railroad yesterday, and parties here were notified of the fact.  About 2 o’clock in the afternoon John Thompson, a son of the deceased, and I.
