Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia paper - probably the Daily May 7, 1904 MRS. MARY RAMBO CAMPBELL Former Resident of South Byron Dies in Minneapolis, Minn., Aged 54 South Byron, May 7 - A telegram was received here yesterday afternoon by Elmer CAMPBELL, saying that his mother, Mrs. Frank C. CAMPBELL, died in Minneapolis, Minn., yesterday morning. Mrs. CAMPBELL'S maiden name was May RAMBO. She was born at South Byron and moved to Browns Valley, Minn., about 10 years ago. She was the eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John RAMBO and was about 54 years of age. From her home in Browns Valley she had gone to Minneapolis for a surgical operation, which was performed a few days ago. The operation was for a tumor of a cancerous nature. She is survived by her husband, one son and her mother. It is not thought the remains will be brought here for interment, as nothing was said in the telegram about so doing. Mrs. CAMPBELL, when quite a young girl, joined the South Byron M.E. church and was an earnest Christian woman. The announcement of her unexpected death will be a sorrow to her many Byron friends. ************************************ Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State February 13-1895 Fire in Bethany. While the storm was raging, several buildings were destroyed by fire on the farm of I.E. and F.I. JUDD in Bethany about 1 p.m. on Saturday last. Situated only about three rods from the Messr. JUDD's dwelling house was a fine large horse barn, nearly new, and it was in the cupola of this that the fire started, being caused by sparks which were carried by the wind from a chimney on the house, which was burning out, it is supposed. The barn was entirely consumed, as were also a hog house and nineteen hogs, some of the valuable animals, a hen house and an ice house containing a considerable quantity of ice. In the barn there were eight horses, all of which were saved. One of the animals was a Shetland pony, which was got out after the building was nearly consumed, by chopping a hole through the side of the barn. Several buggies, a quantity of harness, small tools, hay and grain were consumed. There was an insurance of $900 on the barn, which will not cover the loss, but the contents were fully insured. If the wind had not been blowing directly from the house no power on earth could have saved it from destruction. As it was it caught fire several times and it was only with the hardest kind of work on the part of members of the family and neighbors that it was saved. + Like an Earthquake. Elba.-Between 11 and 12 o'clock yesterday morning many residents of this village were startled by a trembling of floors accompanied by a peculiar rushing sound which they have been unable to explain except on the theory that it was a slight earthquake. Mrs. Eli JONES says that at her home the shock was so perceptible that it rattled the lids on the stove over which she was cooking and many others noticed the peculiar sensation. Rochester.-A special to the 'Democrat and Chronicle' from Churchville, says that about 12 o'clock yesterday the people of Churchville and the surrounding community were startled by a shock which they at first supposed was caused by the explosion of one of the boilers in the village. It continued for a few seconds, and was accompanied by a rumbling sound resembling distant thunder, the windows in the house jingled, and many people becoming alarmed rushed out on the street to ascertain what had happened, and came to the conclusion that it must have been an earthquake. + Suffering From Disordered Minds. Attendants from the Willard Hospital came to Batavia yesterday afternoon and today they returned to that institution with is Lizzie KINNEY of Batavia, ordered committed by Judge NORTH on Monday, and Miss Lucy KELSEY of Batavia, aged 52 years, ordered committed yesterday by the Judge. Miss KELSEY's mind has been unbalanced for some time. Mrs. Lorinda LOUNSBURY of Bethany, who has been at the County House for several years, has been adjudged insane, and by a special permit from the State authorities Judge NORTH yesterday ordered her committed to the State Hospital at Rochester. She was taken to that institution today. + Let's go and hear the new Batavia Quartette: Mrs. Bessie CARPENTER, soprano; Miss Lina FIX, alto; Mr. J.T. WHITCOMB, tenor; Mr. H. CHISWELL, bass. Miss Hattie BAKER, pianist and director. Will you? + Some Alleged Reforms Suggested. Mr. PLACE recently wrote to the State Comptroller at Albany, it is said, stating that too much money was spent for salaries at the Institution [the State Institution for the Blind, located in Batavia] and that the duties now performed by the Accountant, Steward and Storekeeper could all be performed by one person. He also thought that in the interests of economy the salary of the Superintendent should be reduced from $2,000 to $1,500 a year. He was of the opinion that one or two teachers could also be dispensed with, it is said. + Deaths and Funerals. Charles A. DIMICK, a well known resident of Batavia, died last night from a complication of disease, at his home on Walnut street in the 53d year of age. Mr. DIMICK had been in ill health for a long time, but he was confined to his bed only a few days. He is survived by his widow, two sons, John D. and Charles A., Jr., and one daughter, Elizabeth, all of Batavia. The remains of Mrs. Jennie CLARK, who died at her home in Lakeville, on Sunday night, will arrive in Batavia tomorrow morning and will then be taken to the home of her brother, Frank ALLEN, from which place the funeral will be held Friday morning at 11 o'clock. Mrs. Esther WICKS of Elba, who died at the County House on Friday last, will be buried at that institution. + Played Before a Buffalo Audience. At an entertainment given in Buffalo last night for the benefit of the Working Boys' Home on Niagara Square the Buffalo 'Courier' says the first number of the programme was a piano duet played with admirable effect by Misses Nellie and Gertrude LYNCH of Batavia. + Auction Sale. Posters announcing the following auction sale have been printed at The News office: Thursday, Feb. 14-Adelbert E. BOYCE, being about to remove will sell at public auction at his residence 1 1/2 miles south of Bergen village on the Ellsworth STEVES farm, commencing at 1 p.m., 3 horses, 3 cows, 27 Shropshire ewes, 2 breeding sows with pig, 55 hens and a quantity of farm tools.

The Progressive Batavian Batavia, Genesee County, New York State September 20-1878 #2 of 2 Neighboring Counties. Spencerport wants a free reading room. It has struck Avon--the pedestrian wave. Mrs. RIGGS and Mrs. McMANN were found dead in their beds at Albion recently. Salamanca, Cattaraugus county, has fifty-three SMITHS, and yet complains of unhappiness. Orleans County farmers are going into the wheat culture more extensively than usual this season. A farmer in Riga, Monroe county, recently killed his horse with a fence rail. He was fined $25. Work is to to commence immediately on the Erie R.R.'s double track between Castile and Gainesville. The potato crop near Warsaw is light, and in many cases effected with the rot. Ditto almost everywhere. Dr. A. FITTS, of Cuba, Allegany county, has gone to New Orleans to assist in caring for the sick. Noble fellow. The annual fair of the Niagara County Agricultural Society will be held Sept. 26th, 27th and 28th at Lockport. Aaron BARBER, an extensive and prosperous farmer, of Avon, has threshed and sold 5,000 bushels of wheat this season. Nearly four thousand persons registered at the Pioneer log cabin, Silver Lake, during the month of August. Two men have recently been convicted and fined, in Steuben county, for jumping on a railway train while in motion. A Rochester preacher is drawing large audiences by his twenty minutes sermons. Preachers, everywhere, please notice. James GORDON, the postmaster at Peoria, Wyoming county, has been postmaster under all administrations for forty years. In the neighborhood of Perry, Wyoming county, there are 132 acres of hops. Six hundred and sixty-one pickers are employed. The Akron, Erie county, cement works have, after a "shut down" of two months, resumed work again with a large force of men. Frank SMITH, late of the 'Castilian,' is about to start a paper in Wyoming village, Wyoming county, if rumor is not disastrously mistaken. Medina claims to have extensive salt mines, located about two miles from the village. Situated on the verge of the "briny deep" as it were. The Akron 'Breeze' is the name of a good sized weekly paper recently started in Akron, Erie county, by F.G. SMITH. It has a breezy local page. Dr. J.C. FISHER, of Warsaw, who was recently ordered by the U.S. Authorities to Mobile, Alabama, is a nephew of Hon. John FISHER, of Batavia. The season at Silver Lake has closed for 1878. Two new hotels will be built next year, one at White's Landing, the other at the Genesee camp grounds. The owners and leases of Mills at Hemlock Lake have applied for a perpetual injunction to restrain the City of Rochester from using Hemlock Lake waters. Frank BURT, of Parma, while cutting a bee tree one day last week, was struck by the falling tree and dangerously injured. Frank should 'bee' more careful. STANDEVEN is the name of a Medina carpenter. His plumb-line ought to be true. - 'Orleans Republican.' It's awl plane enough saw far, now who'll adz some more? F.A. BREGG, deputy postmaster at Salamanca, has suddenly absconded and an investigation of his financial relations demonstrates that his honesty is nothing to Bregg on. Mr. John R. FRYER, long time Station Agent at Avon, has had his official neck dislocated for having deadheaded a car load of wood for himself or friends. His fat's in the Fryer. C.F. UNDERHILL, the milliner man, who left remembrances in this village, has done the same in Medina cheating the 'Register' out of a printing bill. If the editor could see Mr. U. he would probably make him Swett. One day last week, John C. SMILZER, of Dansville, committed on a charge of perjury, escaped from the Livingston County jail yard where he had been allowed to go by the Sheriff. $20 reward is offered for his recapture. One of the finest nurseries we have seen for years is the one owned by RUNDLE & GLEASON of Varysburg. - Attica 'Argus' Well, just run over here and take a look at BOGUE's Batavia nursery. It discounts any Varysburg nursery that ever grew. Lockport, this year will put up over 1,500,000 cans of fruit and vegetables, in about the following portions: Tomatoes, 1,000,000 cans; corn 250,000; strawberries, cherries and other fruits, about 250,000; peaches, 24,000; apples, 50,000. The Batavia papers want to know why that switch was placed directly in the center of the walk leading to the depot in that village? It was thought that by putting it in the center of the walk the average Batavian would be least likely to run against it. Lewis' address on "The Future of the Pumpkin Seed" may do for Genesee, but not for the intelligent Wyoming County Farmer. - 'Wyoming Democrat' Monday morning last, Malcolm McVEAN's flouring mill at Scottsville, Monroe county, was entirely destroyed by fire together with quite a quantity of wheat and flour. Total loss some $10,000. The fire is supposed to have originated from the combustion of the fine flour particles around the smut machine. The LEWISES seem to be popular in Niagara county. Alonzo LEWIS is superintendent of the poor, S. Clark LEWIS is in nomination for Sheriff and S. Curtis LEWIS is in nomination for County Treasurer. The select school started by Miss Agnes Allen,, has started very successfully. A large number of scholars are in attendance, and more promised. Miss ALLEN has a splendid education and knows how to impart it to those under her care. + A Very Surprising Party came off at Bergen last Tuesday afternoon, at the residence of Aaron ARNOLD, Esq. It was his birthday, and about thirty of his friends and neighbors, very quietly gathered at Mrs. WHITAKER's, across the street, and while Deacon SHEPARD was holding him in a friendly chat on the lawn, they all marched over and took him and his unsuspecting wife by storm. Aaron's limber tongue was tied for once, and he could not even say "going" for they were all coming. He was soon helped into the bedroom and arrayed in his Sunday clothes, for he had just arrived from his farm, and finally regained his wonted composure. It was also the birthday of another, for Mrs. Aydin MOSIER is his twin sister, as any one might know (if they were told) by looking at them both, for one is broad and the other long. Their mother, Mrs. OSBORNE, was present, and looks only a few years older than these twins she bore forty-eight years ago. She is really seventy-four, but as erect in form and as pleasant in conversations as a bride. Mr. ARNOLD and wife have four children, the oldest of whom is Mrs. C.V. HOOPER, of Batavia. All of them were present. At the table Esq. WARD closed the feast prepared and brought by the guests, with a neat little speech in which he noticed representatives present of many pioneer families, and a greeting word to the surprised family, to which Mr. ARNOLD replied as well as his feelings would permit, for when his heart is full his throat fills up also. A general good time was enjoyed, and all went home early. + The Potato Rot. Mr. Editor: The potato rot is abroad in the land, and the universal cry is "What shall be done with the potato crop?" Some dig and hurry them off to market. Others store the sound ones to chance the rot and the spring market. But there is a large portion of the crop, the partially effected ones and the small ones, which are uncared for or unsaved by either of the above methods. Their loss detracts too much from the value of the crop. How shall they be utilized and made profitable? By steaming them for Stock feed. What, steam the effected tubers? Yes. The subscriber has had much experience in cooking potatoes by steam for hogs, cattle, sheep, poultry, etc., and has ascertained, what is not generally understood, that the hot steam extracts and passes off in liquid form, the poisonous substances of the skin and the parts effected by the rot when not entirely decayed. Boili ng them will not do this, because the water in which they are boiled absorbs and retains the poisons till they permeate the entire mass which it envelopes. To cook rightly by steam there must be always kept open at the bottom of boiler or steam box, a small hole, say one half inch in diameter, through which the poisonous substance of rot and skin may escape. The potatoes must be quickly steamed, uncovered when rare done, left to dry a short time, then removed to another vessel and mashed while hot and soft, stirring in provender, milk, or whatever else you may desire to mix with them, as feed for the different kinds of stock. It is the evidence of my experience that nothing will fatten hogs, cattle, poultry, etc., faster than cooked potatoes mashed while hot, with mill-fed or bran. Of course potatoes so far decayed as to be soft and "jellied" should not be used, but where, though skin spotted and discolored, the tuber is still hard, or comparatively hard, it may be profitably used. In my experience I have used the "Prindle Steamer" as the most simple, perfectly safe and durable, but any good and efficient steamer will do the work, and save much, in beef, pork,, etc., by promptly utilizing the crop now threatened with destruction by the rot. The advantages of steam cooking over, the boiling process must be apparent to the progressive mind, at least, and no farmer in this enlightened age can afford to be without some cheap, safe and efficient apparatus for the steam-cooking food for his Stock.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Nov 8, 1922 DEAF MUTE SENSES ROBBERS IN HIS HOME BY VIBRATION Corning, Nov. 8 - Vernon SMITH, of Post Creek, a deaf and dumb mute, sensing that someone was in his house by the slight vibration, walking boldly down the stairs in his home and was bound and gagged by two men, who robbed him of $19.38. He was released the following morning by relatives who came to the house to see him. * Seneca Falls Asked T Pay Flood Damage Residents File Claims Amounting to $1,565.93 with Trustees Seneca Falls, Nov. 7 - Three separate claims against the village, aggregating $1,565.93, were submitted last night at the regular meeting of the Board of Trustees. The claims were for reimbursement by the village for damages alleged to have been sustained from the flood last August when the creek crossing Ovid street overflowed its banks and flooded a number of dwellings. The first claim is for $1,000 by the Seneca Falls Land Corporation of which E. G. GOULD is president. The second claim was submitted by Guiseppe BELLISSIMO and Lorenza BELLISSIMO, property in the sum of $200, and the third claim by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph ATTOLIO, of Gould avenue, for alleged damages to their home amounting to $365.93. The claimants all have placed their cases in the hands of Attorney E. G. GOULD. The board refered the matter to the Committee on Special Claims. Dr. Robert KNIGHT, health officer, reported to the Board of Health two cases of infantile paralysis and one of pneumonia during October. Action will be taken by the authorities against the parents of Rose SESILIO, of No. 3 Haig street. The child was allowed to break quarantine, it is alleged, and went to Rochester. The father will be haled before the local police magistrate and fined, it was declared. * Police Seek Man Who Broke Friend's Skull With Bottle Becoming involved in an argument with two companions when walking in North street shortly after 12 o'clock last night, a man believed to be Raymond OTIS, of No. 41 Arbordale street, received a severe fracture of the skull when knocked to the pavement in front of No. 165 North street by his companions who fled in the direction of Main street. The assailant's identity is still unknown to the police. The man has a crushed forehead on the left side. Pedestrians notified the police of the Franklin street station and Motorcycle Officer BURNS and Patrolmen BAGLAN and RIES began an investigation. The ambulance from the Homeopathic Hospital responded to a hurry call and the injured man, about 25 years old, was taken to that institution, where it was said that his condition was serious. He was still unconscious at an early hour this morning. Investigation by the police showed that a bottle of liquor was evidently the cause of the quarrel between the trio, all of whom were intoxicated, according to witnesses. It is believed that the blow was struck with the bottle, which was smashed on the pavement. The argument started when the men were standing in the street near the curb. In their effort to escape the two men ran into an iron fence in front of No. 163 North street and broke a section of it. About that time Patrolman BAGIAN appeared and gave chase. The men easily outdistanced the officer. Letters were found in the man's pockets addressed to Raymond OTIS, No. 41 Arbordale street, this city, and that is believed by the police to be his name. A report of the case was made to Detective Sergeant ANDREWS, who continued the investigation. ** TRAVELING MAN WILL BE BURIED TO-MORROW Well Known Salesman Dies at Home After Year's Illness RALPH W.

PUTNAM is now offered for sale. It is large and well selected, abounding with valuable works. We cannot print the list this week.

BRADISH is to blow a tuba, and Allie J. WATERMAN will again be snare drummer. Other changes are contemplated, but not yet made. + "Somebody's Child." - As Mr. Reuben B. HATCH, a farmer living about 1 1/2 miles from the village, on the Oak Orchard road, opened the front door of his house last Thursday morning, he was astonished to find a market basket, containing a baby carefully an nicely wrapped therein, standing on the stoop. On the handle of the basket was a slip of paper upon which was written the word "tenderly." Mr. HATCH as soon as possible gave the strange little visitor in charge of the Poor-Master. It was a boy baby, and apparently about a week old. + Frank MARTELLE, a recent employee in the Wiard Plow Manufactory of this village, was found dead beside the Central railroad track in Rochester, on Sunday morning last. The 'Democrat' says his remains, when found, were lying beside the track, immediately after the passage of a western bound freight train. The upper portion of his skull and scalp had been completely severed from the rest of the head, and the brains of the unfortunate victim were scattered about on the ground where he fell. The rest of the body being uninjured, it is supposed that he had fallen asleep, with his head lying across the track. + That Great Show! Don't forget that Monday next, 23d inst., is the time when that Great Show of W.W. COLE's, advertised in another column, is to be in Batavia. The press where it has been credit it with "magnificence, novelty, elegance, enormous size, animals without number, apt artists and wonderful performances. Its bills enumerate animals of all descriptions; its parade is spoken of as a pageant of royal grandeur. The greatest novelty presented however will the tallest man and woman in the world, whom statistics show to be veritable giants--man and wife, Capt. and Mrs. M.V. BATES; each 7 feet 11 1/2 inches high; he, 32 she 29 years of age; combined weight one half ton. Now for the first time on exhibition in this country. Just from England, where Royalty presented its compliments in the shape of watches and jewelry, as presents from Queen Victoria. Both symmetrical in form, fine features, and undoubtedly great curiosities. All should bear in mind the fact of the giants being exhibited in the main or large tent, as well as the circus and menagerie. No extra charge to see the giants. The establishment has herds of camels and elephants to draw its mammoth wagons; travels two bands, also a steam band; has a troupe of trained horses, riding monkeys, riding goats, performing deer; has 2 ponies that perform the see-saw feat; has a mammoth circus company, travels its own railroad cars and"--but read the bills and pamphlets and remember the date, Monday, September 23. + Suicide.- A Mrs. Sarah NELSON, who with her husband and two little children resided just south of the corporation limits on Jackson street, committed suicide by drowning in the Tonawanda on Saturday last. She attempted to drown herself in the morning of that day, but was rescued from the water by Mr. V. PRATT, and restored to life and consciousness by the persistent efforts of Mr.s A.S. PRATT, Mrs. ZIMMERMAN and others. After making her comfortable in bed, they left and returning shortly after, found the bed and house empty. Search was instituted but no immediate trace of the woman was obtained. It as been since ascertained that she arose from the bed and came bareheaded and barefooted to Main street in this village, but soon returning threw herself into the creek in the rear of "Rose" REED's place, on Chestnut street, where her body was found on Tuesday last. Mr. NELSON, the husband, was formerly a resident of Attica, and Mrs. NELSON, before marriage resided in Darien, we believe. The woman was addicted to intemperance, and her death by suicide is justly charged to that cause. Tally another murder to whisky, and then ask yourself Mr. Reader, whether, because of act or vote, any part of the guilt and responsibility rests upon you? You'll have to meet the question bye and bye before a tribunal where there can be no evasion. + to be cont'd. ... submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State January 2-1889 Americans Under Arrest. New York.-The 'Mail and Express,' in an extra edition, prints a dispatch from Port au Prince dated December 31st, stating that the Haytien newspapers treat Mr. THOMPSON, the United States Minister to Hayti[sic], in a very violent manner and that several Americans have been placed under arrest. The dispatch also states that the American consulate is filled with refugees. LEGITIME is said to have announced that he will, if necessary, shoot foreigners who interfere in the politics of Hayti. New York.-The 'Sun's' special dispatch from Santiago de Cuba says that the United States steamer Galena is towing the steamship Haytien Republic to that port from Port au Prince. At Santiago de Cuba the Haytien Republic will await the arrival of a crew from New York. She will then take aboard a cargo of logwood and sail for Boston. + Forehead Cut by a Fall. Charles WICKS, a young man who lives on the State street road, outside of the village limits, came home yesterday morning from a dance which he had attended at Sheldon, with a deep gash over his right eye, which he said he received from a fall. Dr. WHITCOMB dressed the injury. + Death at the County House. A man named McLain, who has been an inmate of the County House for several years, died at that institution yesterday, presumably from old age.

The four letter carriers started out on their first trip at 10:30 o'clock yesterday morning. Carriers SAGER and BENTON returned about 1:30 o'clock, but the other two, who have more territory to cover, did not get around until about 4 o'clock. Two deliveries were made this morning--one at 9 o'clock in the business portion of the town, and the other after the Eastern mail, which was an hour late, arrived. The carriers started out on another delivery at 1:30 p.m. and will make still another round at 6:30 this evening. + Stripped the Clothesline. While the family of William McELVIN, who resides at No. 109 State street, were at tea last evening a sneak thief relieved their clotheslines of everything that was hanging on it. + East Pembroke's Railroad Business. The pretty village of East Pembroke would do well to secure the services of a professional "boomer," for it is likely to attain the reputation of a very sleepy burg. On Monday evening last a lady visited the little depot on the Peanut road at that place and purchased a ticket for Batavia. Having a heavy valise which she did not care to be troubled with, she had it checked. As the ticket agent, who also performs the duties of baggage-master, handed her the duplicate check he remarked: "That is the first piece of baggage that has been checked from this station since November first." + Young Ladies Run Away With.

The horse freed itself and ran home. + Jailed for Assaulting His Wife.

The note was not forthcoming, however, and this action was brought to recover the amount. W.C. WATSON appears for CARTER and the Hon. George BOWEN for SKEET. + Last Year's Alarms of Fire. There were 23 alarms of fire in this village during the year 1888. Two of them were false alarms, two were on account of fires in the country out of reach of the department, and in eight or nine instances o water was thrown by the firemen, the flames being otherwise extinguished.

Sadly missed by his lonesome mother, Mrs. Florence CARR BABCOCK KOHMANN - In sad but loving memory of a faithful father and husband, who entered into heavenly rest, August 16, 1916.

Family LAGING - In loving memory of our mother, Louise LAGING, who passed away August 20, 1916. Six years have passed since one we loved, Has left our family nest; But we miss her just the same to-day As the day she was laid to rest. Not gone from memory or from love. But to a brighter home above. Children BABCOCK - In memory of our grandson, Lowell BABCOCK, who passed away August 20, 1921. Gone, but not forgotten.

His Beloved Grandparents McNEILL - In sweetest memory of our dear father, William McNEILL, who entered late rest, August 22, 1919. To-Day recalls sad memories Of a loved one gone to rest, And those who think of him to-day. Are those who loved him best. He bade no one a last farewell, He said good-bye to none; Heaven's gate was opened wide And bade our father come.
