Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 15, 1915 Believing That Her Husband No Longer Loves Her, Former West Rush Girl Takes Mercury Tablets Pittsburg, Feb. 14 - Laboring under an hallucination that her husband no longer loved her, Mrs. Samuel F. McELROY, 25 years old, of No. 420 South Dithridge street, a bride of five months, attempted to commit suicide on the steps of the Phipps Conservatory in Schenley Park shortly after noon to-day, by swallowing several bichloride of mercury tablets. A crowd of persons in the park saw the woman rise from a sitting posture and stagger against the building and notified the police who removed her to the Homeopathic Hospital, where it is said her condition is critical. Mrs. McELROY came to Pittsburgh from West Rush, a suburb of Rochester, N. Y., in search of employment. She was employed in a hair dressing parlor in the Lyceum building and went to the rooming house of Samuel W. McELROY, in South Dithridge street to live. There she met and fell in love with Samuel F. McELROY and their marriage followed in a few months. Their happiness was short lived because their domestic life had been continually disrupted by religious differences. Many quarrels resulted and Mrs. McELROY imagined her husband did not love her, because, as she said, he did not show his love enough. Mrs. McELROY went to her home in West Rush last Wednesday on a visit and returned home Saturday, acting strangely. This morning she arose early and started for church. Instead she went to Schenley Park, and after wandering through the park several hours summing up courage for her act, she went to the conservation; sat on the steps a few minutes, then suddenly swallowed the tablets. At the McELROY home this evening it was said Mrs. McELROY had been despondent for some time over her domestic troubles and had often threatened to end her life. Before her marriage Mrs. McELROY was Miss Agnes O'HARA. ** GIRL WIFE DIED OF GRIEF Letter from Honolulu Relates - He Lived Here, Says Writer A tale of pathos is told in a letter written from Honolulu to the Democrat and Chronicle by Joseph P. COOKE, who says he is a Rochester man, but has not been here in three years. According to the communication, COOKE recently received his honorable discharge from the United States army. Arriving at Honolulu on the steamship Venture, from San Francisco, in expecta- (line unreadable) writes of finding his wife awaiting him at the dock, he was disappointed. He had assured her only two weeks before, when he sailed away to get his discharge, he relates that he would take the next boat back "to her and to the job that had been promised him." Within a few minutes after he landed, COOKE writes, he was told "that his girl wife, brooding over the sneers of her neighbors that she was a deserted fool, and half crazed at the advise given her to make away with the baby before it could become a burden upon her, because it would never see its father, had died of a broken heart six days before- just after he had sailed from the Golden Gate on his return - taking her unborn baby into the grave with her. COOKE writes that he is broken-hearted at the loss of his wife, and grieved deeply because she died having lost her trust in him. He recounts that until recently he was a private stationed at Fort Ruger and that he "is spoken highly of by his comrades, who are indignant at the gossip." The letter id dated January 25th. * MRS.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 14, 1915 A DAY FOR YOUNG LOVE To-morrow the same scene will be re-enacted. This is St. Valentine's Day, but it will be celebrated in the public schools to-morrow afternoon, and the little girl with the blonde curls and the coy smile will receive an arm load of wishy-washy doggerel that to her is Tennysonian verse. Anyway, she is a mercenary creature, and the price-mark on the upper corner means as much to her as the hieroglyphics on the case of ivory boudoir instruments sent to her elder sister with the price tag left on with planned carelessness, by her sister's Lothario. Valentine merchants said yesterday that the public this season had practically forsaken comic creations, and that the etchings of bewigged persons of an olden day seemed to touch a popular chord. The garish inventions of childhood still are on the counters, however. For 2 cents you can get this: If all the world was violets blue And all the rain were sparkling dew, It would not be a gift too rare To offer you, my maiden fair. * TO HOLD LINCOLN SERVICES Lincoln services will be held to-night at the First Methodist Church. Rev. Horace G. OGDEN will preach on the "Life of LINCOLN." O'Rorke Post, and W. R. C., C. J. Powers Post and W. R. C., C. a. Glidden Camp S. O.

Coroner KLEINDIENST gave a certificate. * WOMAN INJURED IN FALL Mrs. Ella WILLIAMS of No. 30 Frances street, sustained a sprained right ankle Thursday evening. She fell when walking in Main street east near Railroad street. She was taken to her home by Dr. F. M. WALKER, who attended her. * REGARDED AS A CALAMITY Women Dread the Coming of the First Gray Hairs To thousands of women the appearance of the first gray hair means the coming of the winter of life — for it cannot be denied that when a woman's hair begins to turn she is regarded as "getting along in years" at least, if not old. Many women dislike to resort to the use of a dye and it is no longer necessary for them to do so as a most excellent hair tonic — The Excelsior — has been discovered which not only keeps the coming gray hairs in check but actually changes to their original shade the few that may already have appeared. The Excelsior is a most valuable addition to the toilet table accessories. The Monte Christo toilet preparations, creams, face powders, etc., are also becoming so well known that these manufacturing chemists of high reputation are compelled to arrange added facilities to meet the demand for their peerless compounds.

LOVE, will be the prosecuting attorneys, and William HANCOCK, of Syracuse, and John A. MILLINER, of Rochester, will appear in RAMSDEN'S defense. Commissioner of Jurors John M. STEELE will draw to-morrow a panel of 150 veniremen, from whom it is expected the jury will be selected. RAMSDEN's defense will be emotional insanity. It will be claimed that revelations made to RAMSDEN by his wife and wrongdoing by her covering a long period so preyed on his mind that when he met his wife and she refused to go with him his mental equilibrium was destroyed and the killing followed. It will be claimed that RAMSDEN'S wife took a trip through Massachusetts with a young lawyer. RAMSDEN is said to be in poor health at the jail. He has heart trouble. * BORN SEISER - To Mr. and Mrs. Frank SEISER, No. 376 Melville street, Thursday, February 14, 1915, a daughter. * CONFIRMED HARRISON - Mr. and Mrs. D.

The speaker said he believed that convict labor should build the forthcoming transcontinental highway and that criminals make shoes, clothing and implements for these laborers.

Democrat & Chronicle Rochester, NY Monroe Co. February 6, 1921 page 1 FRENZIED MOTHER TAKES LIVES OF HER 2 CHILDREN Neighborhood Gossips Cause Tragedy in Peruville Ithaca--Feb. 6. Crazed by neighborhood gossip questioning her fidelity to her husband, Mrs. Daisy Pearl DURYEA of Peruville, eight miles north of this city, this morning shot her two children, Ruth, aged 13 and Gerald, aged 10, a boy and a girl, killing the girl instantly and mortally wounding the boy. She then attempted to shoot herself but her husband who had been attracted by the shots succeeded in preventing the suicide. Mrs. DURYEA will be arraigned on a murder charge before Justice of the Peace, Rexford CHATTERTON, in the village of Groton on Monday, but because of her mental condition, a Lunacy Commission will be appointed to examine her and it may be that the case will never come to trial, if the mother is adjudged insane. The tragic shooting occurred at six o'clock this morning. Mrs. DURYEA had called her husband, an employee of the Corona Typewriter works at Groton, announcing that breakfast was ready. When Mr. DURYEA appeared in the kitchen, Mrs. DURYEA left the room. While eating his breakfast, Mr. DURYEA heard a shot but mistook it for a window breaking. A second later he heard another shot and running up stairs found his wife with a .32 calibre revolver pointed at her own head. As he rushed into the room she fired two shots at herself but both went wild. Mr. DURYEA succeeded in wrestling the revolver from his wife and then took her to a neighbor's home where he told what had happened. Accompanied by the neighbor, Fred MERRILL, DURYEA and his wife went back in the house. Deputy Sheriff Leo PACKARD of Groton was notified and with two doctors hurried to the house. The girl was pronounced dead, but the boy who was still alive was rushed to the Ithaca City Hospital in an ambulance which had been sent from this city. He died two hours after his arrival here. Recently there have been neighborhood stories of an affinity and Mrs. DURYEA had become distracted by these reports but talked the matter over with her husband who took no notice of them. Apparently, however, they weighed on her mind and are believed to have been the cause of the shooting. Just before being brought to the County Jail here, Mrs. DURYEA insisted on seeing the two children and exclaimed when take to the bedroom where the double shooting had occurred "my God, what have I done." She then relapsed into a daze and apparently was unmindful of what was going on around her. Both Mrs. and Mrs. DURYEA were musicians, she having taught in the Cortland _______. Last night they had played a number (didn't get the rest). WADSWORTH HAS NEW PROPOSAL ON CAPITAL SMOKING Washington.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Feb 14, 1915 HORSE JUMPS INTO SHOE STORE WINDOW Driver Injured in Spectacular Downtown Runaway Glenn MEAD, 30 years old, of No. 55 Ames street, was seriously injured yesterday when a horse he was driving, ran away. MEAD is employed by Mathews & Poucher, hardware dealers in Exchange street, and was driving a delivery wagon in Main street west. The horse became frightened at an automobile, and MEAD endeavored to hold the horse to the right side of the street. Instead, the animal took the bit between its teeth and ran madly toward the Four Corners. In front of No. 189 Main street west the wagon swayed far enough to come into collision with a trolley standard. The whiffletree was broken, and the horse was freed from the thrills. MEAD was thrown to the pavement, striking in such a manner that he became unconscious. He was picked up by pedestrians, a hurry call was sent to the General Hospital, and he was taken there. The horse, once free, crossed the street and leaped into the front window of the store of Louis M. MYERS, at No. 190 Main street west. The display of shoes was tossed in every direction, and the railing back of it broken down. Furniture in the salesroom was upset and the horse jammed itself into a narrow aisle. Traffic Officer Charles LAWRENCE ran into the store and caught the horse by the bridle. He managed to calm the animal and led it out. The horse was cut about the legs and body, and had to be treated by a veterinary. At the General Hospital it was found that MEAD had received a broken right clavicle and a cut over the left eye. He recovered consciousness when he was taken to the hospital in the ambulance. * THIRTEEN ARRESTED IN RAID ON HOTEL Police Swoop Down on Place in Central Avenue Thirteen persons were arrested in a raid early this morning on the National Hotel, at No. 283 Central avenue. Numerous complaints had been made to Chief QUIGLEY about the place and Captain MEHLE, of the Franklin Street Station, was asked to make an investigation. The raid was conducted shortly before 2 o'clock by Sergeant Fred YOUNG. Michael FLEMING, the proprietor, was taken in custody on the charge of conducting a place of alleged ill repute. The other twelve were inmates. They gave their names as follows: William CRANE, 22 years old, of No. 130 Lenox street; Charles MARACLE, 21, East Rochester; George LOUTH, 38, St. Paul street; Fred A. FIELD, 40, No. 161 Campbell street; Isaac VAN OVERBAK, 44, Palmyra; John X. EPPS, 30, No. 31 Joslyn park; May LIVINGSTON, 38, Plattsburg; Anna WARD, 44, No. 5 Emmett street; Marie CULLEN, 25, No. 406 Main street west; May COKE, 34, No. 411 Main street west; Laura B. HULBERT, 18, No. 224 Clinton avenue north; Laura PERKINS, 32, No. 283 Central avenue. * ROCHESTER SALESMAN KILLED Frank E. BARBER, of Utica, was accidentally killed while scuffling in a saloon in that city on Friday night. The man fell, his head came in contact with a radiator, and the skull was broken. Mrs. BARBER and her daughter were at a church entertainment at the time. BARBER had been employed as a salesman by the Rochester Distilling Company for eight years. * MAN CHARGED WITH FRAUD William SHAUGHNESSEY, 46 years old, of No. 104 William street, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives SHAYNE and McINEREY on a warrant charging him with defrauding Mrs. Carrie L. MOORE, of No. 28 Rainier street out of $59.25 for board. * SNEAK THIEF GETS MONEY John ERNST, of No. 621 Oak street, complained to the police yesterday that on Thursday night a sneak thief entered his room and stole his trousers. The trousers were taken to the back yard, where they were left after $12 had been extracted from a rear pocket. * CITY CAR HITS AN INTERURBAN Car 369, of the Hudson-Allen line, collided with the rear of a Lockport car in State street yesterday afternoon. The front vestibule of the city street car was damaged. The heavy interurban was merely bumped. No one was hurt. * BANKRUPTS EARN DIVIDENDS Referee Ordered to Distribute Profits. Clerk Files Petition The Seneca Dried Fruit Company and the Snow Wire Works have earned money since becoming bankrupt, and Referee SANFORD has received orders from Judge HAZEL, of Buffalo, that dividends are to be paid. The dividends in the fruit company will be 4 1-2 per cent, and will amount to $928.24 to unsecured creditors. The total amount of claims filed when the firm went into bankruptcy was $20,627.55. The dividend in the case of the wire company is 11 3-4 per cent, which amounts to more than $3,000. Total claims filed against the company amounted to $2,600. Joseph M. SCHANTZ, clerk, of this city, filed a voluntary petition in bankruptcy in the United States Court in Buffalo yesterday morning. He scheduled liabilities at $4,891.44 and claims, unsecured, at $3,060.89. He gave his assets as $1,508, of which $700 was for debts due him. He owned an automobile and had obtained a loan of $400 on it. Among the bills he listed is one of $412.50 for taxicab service. * DRAGGED OVER ICY HIGHWAY Parma Girl Painfully Hurt in Run-away Accident Miss Stella MARKS, 19 years old, of Parma Corners, had an exciting experience in a runaway in Greece last Thursday. She had driven from her home to the house of friends living on the Ridge road in Greece. In leaving the premises the cutter was overturned at a point where the driveway enters the highway. The horse, a spirited animal, bolted and ran out the highway. Miss MARKS, who had dropped the reins, was dragged about thirty rods before her coat collar became loosened from a part of the cutter to which it had caught. The runaway was caught by Walter CRAFT, of Greece, who wrove(sic) back to where Miss MARKS lay in the highway. She was taken to her home, and medical aid summoned. The girl was painfully bruised about the left side and suffered from shock. * EDUCATION A PREVENTIVE Is Large Factor in Lowering Fire Loss, R. B. Woodward Writes Roland B. WOODWARD, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, tells a story of fire prevention in Rochester in the current issue of the American City. He says that in 1904 the fire loss in this city was $3,000.000, in 1910 it was $8000.000, and in 1914 $454,000. While the fire loss, he writes, is not remarkable in smallness for a city like Rochester the decrease in the last ten years is exceptional. Mr. WOODWARD believes that education may prove the final factor in the solution of the fire loss problem, in that children may be educated to act as instinctively for fire prevention as for self- preservation. Mayor EDGERTON, Fire Chief LITTLE, former Commissioner OWEN, the Rochester Fire Department and the Board of Education are commended in Mr. WOODWARD'S article. ** MUST GO BACK TO CANADA Three Young Men Will Be Deported By Authorities Three young men, who came to this country from Canada to look for work will be deported. They are James SPEARS, of Toronto; Alec LUNDY, of Oshawa and Percy ALLORD, of Brighton. Isaac MARTIN, inspector of immigration, gave out this information yesterday. The first two men, picked up by the police about twenty days since, were without work and could not show certificates of inspection or registration by the immigration authorities. When their cases were heard it developed that both had jail records in the land to the north. Percy ALLORD had work for a short time, but lost it. Although he had complied with the first requirement of the immigration people, and registered, he had neglected to pay them any further attention, which was to his disadvantage. * CHILD DIES FROM BURNS Stepped Backward and Fell into Pail of Hot Suds Little James RANNA(?), 3 years old, died late last night at the General Hospital from burns received when he fell into a pail of scalding hot water at his home, No. 448 Oak street, yesterday afternoon. Coroner KILLIP directed the removal of the remains to the morgue. The little boy's mother was cleaning the floor of the kitchen yesterday afternoon, and had a pail of hot suds on the floor. The child, while playing about the room, backed into the pail and fell into the water. His body was badly burned. * PUNCH LEADS TO CUTTING Smith Street Saloon Scene of Much Excitement Pasquale TANTALO and Tomaso BIANCHI went into the saloon of Salvatore CORONA at No. 389 Smith street last night and engaged in a quarrel with the man. In the row, CORENA was struck on the nose. He retreated toward his bar. Just then Saverio MANNARELLI, 56 years old, his father-in-law, came from the kitchen where he had been cutting bread. He had a bread knife in one hand. He saw CORONA and the blood streaming from his nose and at once attacked the others, with the result that TANTALO'S right hand was cut. The police were notified of the row, and Patrolmen PIOTRASCHKE, KAVANAUGH and MERRON went to the saloon and arrested MANNARELLI on a charge of assault, second degree. The others were arrested on holding charges of intoxication. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State November 4-1887 The Skeleton of a Woman Found in a Box on a Train. Elmira, N.Y. - A box of bones, which proved upon examination to be the skeleton of a woman, was found on a Lehigh Valley train Saturday. Conductor RAYMOND says he stopped his train just outside of the city limits of Elmira and that the box was not on board then. When next he went over his train at Waverly he found it, and he concludes from this that the ghastly freight must have been put on board at Elmira. The bones are all disjointed, and the top of the skull is sawed evenly off. The skeleton, though not much decayed, has the appearance of having laid in the earth for some time. There are no marks on the box which give any clue as to where it came from. + Horse Thieves Captured. Sharon, Pa.-After a hot pursuit of three days the thieves who made a wholesale horse raid through Hickory township and stole some valuable stock, have been overtaken at Canandaigua, N.Y., and the booty recovered. A telegram announcing the fact Saturday night gives no particulars. + Sanitary science has worked much good, but it has disseminated much nonsense. Now it is the manufactured article which is big with the germs of death; now the water; now the air; now the milk. If half that has been written of these subjects were true, there would be no further need for agitation. All the people would have been dead long ago. As a matter of fact purity is an essential in any article of popular consumption. Every body knows this, and as a rule, an effort is made to procure that which is pure. When such end can not be accomplished, sickness and perhaps death may result. But the theory that every thing known is full of germs of fatality seems incompatible with the fact that people continue to live. + Unwise Colored Voters. Words of Wisdom from the Pen of Hon. Frederick Douglass. There is a class of colored mug-wumps who have been led by unwise or corrupt motives farther away from the line of political duty than the white mugwumps. A member of the colored race who votes to place or continue in power the surviving elements of the pro-slavery and rebel Democratic party is untrue to the cause of human freedom, is an ingrate as regards the party that enfranchised his race, and if he talks in defense of his apostacy he utters nothing but chattering idiocy. Frederick DOUGLASS has recently written for publication a letter on this subject. It should be read by every colored man and by every white man, for its general truth and for the lesson that it teaches the colored and the white man alike. Mr. DOUGLASS says: "There is no question that, whatever may have been the faults and shortcomings of the Republican party, it has been, first, and last, the party of justice, liberty and progress. It is also plain that, in whatever the Democratic party has yet done in the same direction, it has derived its inspiration from the example set by the Republican party. It, in fact, has worn, when it has worn any thing tolerably decent, the old shoes and second-hand clothing of the Republican party. Of course I am glad to have the Democratic party follow the Republican, even in the ragged and worn-out garments with which it now and then covers itself. But that party is altogether too slow of foot, too heavily burdened with its ugly record and the solid South to be safely trusted to lead in the cause of liberty, enlightenment and progress. It is bad enough to have that party hanging on the skirts of the Republican party, doing its best to hinder it and dragged forward by it, but it is far more mischievous to thrust it in front where it can block the way of the Republican party." In regard to the colored men who from mere eccentricity of thought and habit, or from worse impulses, vote the Democratic ticket, he says: "It is a matter of deep surprise and regret that once in a while we find a colored man in a Northern state using his pen and tongue in denunciation of the Republican party and in laudation of the Democratic party. No honest Democrat to-day can respect either the head or the heart of the black citizen who pretends to be a Democrat and urges other black men to support the Democratic ticket." But he reaches the root of the matter in describing the present condition of colored men at the South under Democratic rule--unable to obtain justice in the courts, the victims of violence everywhere, robbed by violence and fraud of the suffrage with which they were clothed by the Nation, and helpless at the feet of their old taskmasters. This graphic and forcible passage is as follows: "If I could go upon the stump, as you have honored me by asking me to do, I would endeavor to impress upon the colored citizens of the State of New York the great and paramount importance of a Republican victory. I would endeavor to show them that such a victory would tend to the promotion of their cause. For, disguise it as we may, the welfare of the colored people North and South has not yet passed the line of danger. While the negro[sic] can be dragged from railroad cars in the South, for no fault but the color of his skin; while he can be sold into slavery on the mere pretense of crime; while he can be doomed to work in chain-gangs while others are only put in prison for offenses against the law; while he is presumed, when accused, to be guilty until he can prove his innocence; while he is subjected to the lynch law and the halter without the pretense of judge, jury, advocate or legal accusers; while he is compelled to work for nominal wages and defrauded by store orders; while he is deprived of equal means afforded to all the other classes and colors for the education of his children, and while a Republican Senate passes a bill for such equal education and a Democratic House of Representatives votes down the measure of enlightenment and statesmanship; while he may be driven from the ballot-box and his vote goes uncounted--it may be safely said that the negro[sic] has a cause, which will be favorably affected by a Republican victory in New York and the Nation; and disastrously affected by a Democratic victory." As long as the Democratic party holds under its control the solid South, this will be the condition of the colored race there. Every vote cast to sustain Democratic ascendancy in any Northern State has a direct and powerful effect in continuing Democratic domination at the South. A colored man who votes a Democratic ticket votes in favor of excluding the colored men of the South from the ballot box, in favor of denying them civil rights and the benefits of education, in favor of kuklux methods in administration, and in favor of the virtual re-establishment of slavery wherever it was abolished by the National ordinances. + submitted by Linda C.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 25, 1848 SUDDEN DEATH - Saturday morning last, a man named Edward HENLEY, a lawyer, was found dead in a bar room in Arcadia, Wayne county. - He had for a few days previous been suffering with the delirium tremens, and had, on that morning about daylight, been discovered wandering near the middle lock in a deranged and destitute condition, from whence he was taken to the tavern, and there left alone - nobody in the house being up at the time. When the bar keeper arose a short time after, he found him sitting in a chair, where he had been left, dead. The deceased came to Arcadia from Wolcott, about six months ago; was about 43 years of age, and had a wife and child in Rochester. * GREAT FALL IN EGGS - A fall in eggs was distinctly visible in our streets yesterday. A farmer driving a one horse wagon, coming into town with some twenty or thirty dozen eggs in a basket, encountered a two horse wagon in Buffalo street, the driver of which was remarkably careless of the damage he committed. The wheels of the large wagon came in contact with those of the smaller one, and the consequence was, that the latter was overturned, eggs and all. And what made it still worse was the fact that the basket was over turned, and the farmer came down "like a thousand of bricks" upon the eggs! Such a smashing of yolks and whites was never before seen. * FEARFUL LEAP - The Republic says that a negro who was confined in the back room of the Police office in Buffalo, to answer a charge of petit larceny, leaped from the fourth story window on to the pavement below, and broke one of his legs in two places, and otherwise seriously injured himself. The only wonder is that he was not instantly killed. * ANOTHER SOLDIER GONE - Maj. Mark ANDREWS, a soldier of the Revolution, died in Perry on the morning of the 16th inst., in the 88th year of his age. He was born in Taunton, Mass, July 10, 1760, and entered the Massachusetts militia on the day he was 17 years of age. He served in Cambridge and on Dorchester Heights soon after the battle of Bunker Hill, and was also with the troops in Rhode Island, and in what is now the State of Maine, then a part of Massachusetts; and towards the close of the war, sailed on board a privateer that did efficient service to the American arms along the coast of New England. He afterwards resided successively in Turner, Monmouth, and Winthrop, Me., and in 1831 removed to Perry, where he has since lived. * LOVE AND LEAD - Two Cincinnati bloods, crossed the river at that city on Thursday week, and took a shot at each other with pistols, being moved thereto by the love they bore to some young lady. One of them was hit in the side, but is likely to recover. * MARRIAGES In Palmyra, on the morning of the 1?th inst., by Rev. Mr. GO?RINE, Oliver ALLEN, Esq., of Wheatland, to Miss Catharine H.

Bits & Pieces Part 12 Genesee/Wyoming Co. 1908 Unknown newspaper (May be The Attica News) Unknown 1908 John Hubert WARD, Who Weds an American Ambassador's Daughter. On several occasions the newspapers have had Miss Jean Templeton REID, daughter of Whitelaw REID, American ambassador to England, engaged to members of the British aristocracy, but each time the reports of an impending matrimonial event of interest to two nations proved premature. This time, however, there is an engagement sure enough, for the date for the wedding has been fixed, June 23, and all the preparations for the function are in progress. The lucky man is the Hon. John Hubert WARD, and he will not bring the daughter of the American ambassador a title, although is the son of a nobleman and brother of the present Earl of Dudley. He is not likely to inherit the latter's rank, but he received from his father's estate $1,500,000, so that with the millions in the REID family the couple is not in danger of coming to want. Miss REID had the Viscount ACHESON, Lord BROOKE and other sprigs of English nobility at her feet, but for some reason none won her hand. Perhaps paternal advice had something to do with it. One time when Miss REID was connected in print with one of these noblemen Mr. REID declared: "The story that my daughter is engaged to marry a foreigner with a title is untrue. I hope when the time comes for her to marry she will choose an honest young American for a husband." Mr. WARD has a good record in the British military service. He was born in 1870 and educated at Eton. During the war in South Africa he served in the imperial yeomanry, and he has since had the benefit of experience in the British war office. He is equerry in waiting to King Edward, with whom he is said to be quite popular. (The newspaper clipping includes a dashing picture of "The Hon. John Hubert WARD") Also included on this page of the scrapbook are newspaper photos of: Mrs. John E. PARKES John E. PARKES Adelbert B. FARGO Submitted by Kathy Helmer kathle7297@aol.com

THE OWEGO, RECORD Of Tioga County News' September 4, 1891 CUT IN TWO. CHARLES H. CASTERLINE OF THIS VILLAGE KILLED SUNDAY. PARTICULARS OF THE SAD AFFAIR. WHILE ENGAGED IN CATCHING ON A MOVING TRAIN HE FALLS BENEATH THE WHEELS AND MEETS A HORRIBLE DEATH. Sunday evening word was received that a son of James CASTERLINE of this village had been killed at Binghamton by the cars and general supposition was that Ed. CASTERLINE was the victim, as his drum-majorship of the Owego band had made him more widely known than were his brothers. It was ascertained that Charles H. was the one that was killed. He was the second son and nearly fifteen years of age. The accident occurred while several lads were catching on an Erie freight train at the Prospect avenue crossing about 6 o'clock that afternoon. The boys had mounted the train safely until CASTERLINE attempted to get from the side of the car to the ends so to climb to the top, when by some accident he missed his footing, lost his hold, fell to the track and was speedily ground in two by the wheels passing over his prostate body. It is said his coat caught on the car, causing the accident. Witnesses were at hand and did all they could to rescue the boy but in vain. When he was picked up it was seen his body was severed above the hips. The Binghamton Republican is the authority for the statement that when the upper portion of his body was picked up breathing was noticed and the two portions were placed together and covered with a blanket, breathing continued for twenty-five minutes. A coroner was summoned who took charge of the boy and notified his father by wire. One of the boys who were engaged with young CASTERLINE in jumping on the train was Richard SMULLEN, whose parents moved to Binghamton several months ago, but who is employed in the tobacco field of G. H. PUMPELLY on the south side of the river, where young CASTERLINE worked last week - the first weeks work he had ever preformed for hire. SMULLEN jumped from the train soon after the accident and went back to the scene of the fatality. The Republican says that "a warrant was issued for his arrest by Coroner PIERCE," but he came to this place that night and was here all the morning. It is said that two Owego boys named ALLEN were in the party. The boy's father went to Binghamton on Erie No. 12 and brought the remains home on No. 3 Monday morning. In addition to the body being completely severed, the left arm, right hand and both legs were cut off and a bad gash cut in the middle of the forehead. The funeral was held at 2 p.m. Tuesday from the residence. Richard SMULLEN and the two ALLEN boys were arrested in town Monday by a Binghamton officer and taken to that city to testify at the coroner's inquest into the death of Charles H. CASTERLINE. They were held to await the action of the grand jury, their parents going bail in the sum of $200 for their appearance. MORTUARY RECORD.

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Monday, April 11-1881 The Emigrant Boom. Thirteen car loads of emigrants passed through Batavia yesterday, on the Central road en route for the west. The emigrants were mostly from Germany, although a few were from Norway and Sweden. They filled the Central cars to overflowing, their luggage, consisting of boxes, bags, bundles, kitchen utensils, etc., was mostly strapped upon the backs of the men. One woman had eight small children with her, each of whom lugged a large bundle, except the baby in its mother's arms. She was German, and was going to meet her husband, who had already emigrated to the west. The prospects are that this heavy emigration of foreigners will continue for some time to come. The transportation rates across the ocean are cheaper than before in years, and it would appear that the poor of the old country are taking advantage of this opportunity to emigrate to the land of the really free and truly brave. + A Central Brakeman Hurt. Between 11 and 12 o'clock last night, a brakeman named Van ANBURG, had one of his hands pretty badly smashed while coupling cars east of the depot. He went to the National hotel, and Dr. POTTER was called to dress the wound. Van ANBURG left for home in East Syracuse this morning. + A Bad Boy. Charley SEIFERT, a lad about sixteen years of age, applied to the house of Chris. PASEL, a farmer residing east of the village, about four weeks ago, and stated that he was out of employment and desired to get a place. Mr. PASEL took him and considering him an honest sort of a fellow told him that he could remain. About two weeks ago SEIFERT left his employer, taking with him a pair of boots, a scarf worth $2.50 and several articles of wearing apparel. Mr. PASEL after learning that the boy had left him for good, hunted him up and this morning he was up before Justice JOHNSON. SEIFERT says his father is a painter and lives in Rochester, he is an eccentric acting urchin, and not overstocked with brightness. Justice JOHNSON gave him a sound lecture, and told him if he would go back and stay with Mr. PASEL, he would let him go. Mr. PASEL seemed willing to take the boy back and he was discharged. + East Pembroke Locals. Rumor says there is a marriage approaching. Who knows? Miss Alat CONKLIN of South Batavia is to teach in district No. 9. Oliver UPHILL, Willis GOWING, Louis C. CASE are on the sick list. Mrs. WEAVER of Bushville, will occupy the pulpit at the Baptist church next Sunday. Edwin DURHAM left for South Bend, Indiana, last week. He has business with the plow works of that city. Mrs. Seth KNAPP of Pembroke moved into Mrs. PARDEE's house last week. He is to work her farm this summer. Rev. J. Wesley Le SEUR left for Fort Edward last week. We understand he is to have a vacation of two weeks. The exhibition given by the students of Rural Seminary passed off pleasantly. The pupils all did very well. The boys are thinking of organizing a base ball club here this season. We will see some of the boys of this place trying to move the railroad track with their heads if they don't stop jumping off the train as it leaves this place. We are soon to have a dramatic entertainment, given by the young people of this place. They have selected one or two very fine dramas, and will probably render them nicely, as they are all old hands at that business. The proceeds will go to buy some scenery for the seminary. Citizens! why do you build two new school houses in this place when with half the money you can repair the seminary; make a union school of it, increase the value of your property and educate your children with far less expense than you do now? Quite a serious accident came near happening in this place Saturday. It seems that Charles TORRENCE, Dell. FORWARD and Elmer COOK had some straw to cut. They had a cutting machine, but being too weak to turn it, they thought they would try an experiment. Accordingly they got a horse power, a team and belt and set the thing a running. Well, it had run about two minutes when the boys were surprised to see material enough flying in the air to construct, as they thought, a dozen machines. Elmer was the only one injured. A piece struck him in the arm and another in the breast. Drs. BATES and PARMELEE were called and pronounced the injuries not fatal. Boys, listen to Chan. next time. + Dailey's Furniture Rooms! 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, and 14 State St., Batavia, N.Y., Greeting!
