Mr. Joseph Armstrong
Last Wednesday Mr. Joseph Armstrong, an inmate of the county poorhouse, died
from injuries inflicted by a vicious bull on Sunday. The Jersey bull was
known to be dangerous, and Armstrong had been warned to keep away from the
animal. He had a passion, however, for managing the stock on the place,
and he approached the bull to put a ring in its nose. The beast rushed at
him and gored him in the side below the ribs, one horn penetrating six inches.
Superintendent Peters’s son drove the animal off with a pitchfork, and the old
man was taken into the house. Armstrong was from Charleston township, and
he had been a ward of this county for some years. He was 72 years of age.
The strength of a mad bull was illustrated when the beast, after being driven
away from Armstrong, rushed into the stable and tossed a large ox into the
manager, where it was found upon its back unable to get out. The ox was
not seriously hurt. (Tuesday, September 14, 1892, The Wellsboro Agitator,

Mrs. Rose Bailey
Last Saturday a dispatch was received here announcing the sudden death of
Rose Coggeshall, wife of Hon. Leon O. Bailey, in Indianapolis, Ind., last Friday
night. Her death was caused by an overdose of chloral. Mrs. Bailey
had been sick, but was better on Friday morning. She had taken tea with a
musical friend, but when her husband came home at 10 o’clock he found her
breathing heavily. Her physician had prescribed a preparation of chloral,
and it is supposed that while she was alone and suffering pain she had taken too
much at a dose or the doses too frequently. Rose Coggeshall was born on
the island of Nantucket, her parents being descendants of Sir John Coggeshall
and Isaac Coffin. After graduation from the Woodhull Seminary she taught
music in the public schools of this borough for two years. She then took
up the thorough study of music and under Signor Carlos Overest her fine
contralto voice was cultivated to a rare state of perfection. Under his
direction she made her debut at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia. Soon
afterwards she married Mr. Bailey and went to Indianapolis. After her
marriage she made a successful concert tour in the East, which gave her a wide
reputation as a singer. Mrs. Bailey was in this borough about two months
ago to attend the funeral of her father-in-law, the late John W. Bailey, and she
then appeared to be enjoying excellent health. She had many friends in
this county who will be sorry to hear of her death. (Tuesday, September
21, 1892, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
Mr. George Gildea
A few days ago as Mr. George Gildea was coming out of drift No. 3 at the
Arnot mines, where he had been at work, he from some unknown cause fell on the
track. A train of mining cars drawn by the pony engine ran over Gildea’s
body and mangled it horribly. The body was dragged 100 yards along the
track and crushed and torn to shreds. It is stated that the engineer saw
the body on the track and reversed his engine, but was unable to stop the train
on the grade. The shock wrecked some of the cars in the rear part of the
train, and several miners who were riding upon them narrowly escaped injury.
Gildea was about 58 years of age. He leaves a wife and several children.

tightened around her neck and started on a wild run, dragging the lad about 60
rods through dirt and stones. The boy died three hours later.

Mr. and Mrs. William Conklin, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Blanchard and Mrs. Maggie
Pitts
A terrible accident occurred at the Pennsylvania-avenue crossing of the Erie
railroad in Elmira, NY, last Wednesday night at 11 o’clock. Five persons
were returning from the theater to their homes in Southport. They were
riding in a wagon drawn by one horse. They were William Conklin and wife,
Edward Blanchard and wife and Mrs. Maggie Pitts. The crossing is guarded
by gates during the day, but these are not operated after 6 o’clock in the
evening. No one knows just how the accident occurred but the wagon was
struck by an Erie vestibule train running at a high rate of speed. The
first known of the accident by the trainmen was when the train halted at the
station, nearly half a mile from the crossing. As it drew into the station
the locomotive bore the ghastly burden of three crushed and mangled bodies.
They were those to Mr. and Mrs. Blanchard and Mrs. Conklin. The wagon was
scattered along in bits, some of it dropping off at the Water-street crossing on
the north side of the Chemung river. The body of Mrs. Pitts and the
mangled form of William Conklin, still alive, were picked up about 100 yards
from the crossing. Mr. Conklin was at once taken to the Arnot-Ogden
hospital in the ambulance. It is thought that he will recover, although
his injuries are serious. There is great indignation in Elmira over the
fact that the railroad crossings are not guarded at night. (Tuesday,
