Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia paper - probably the Daily January 21, 1902 DEATH OF EX-MAYOR BURT IT OCCURRED TODAY AT HIS TRACY AVENUE HOME He Was Born in Gainsville in 1832, but Had Been a Resident of This Town Almost Half a Century - Was Widely Known Throughout County. George BURT, long a prominent and respected resident of Batavia, died at 11:30 a.m. today at his home, No. 3 Tracy avenue, after an illness caused by gangrene. His condition had been critical over a week and it was only his wonderful vitality which kept him alive so long. He had been unconscious nearly two days. Mr. BURT was born in Gainsville, Wyoming county, on December 3, 1832, and consequently was in the seventieth year of his age. He moved from Wyoming county to Batavia in 1856, having bought a farm on the Lewiston road. There he lived until 1884, with the exception of two years, when he resided on Center street. In 1884 he moved to the Tracy avenue home where he died. Being possessed of a keen sense of humor and ready wit Mr. BURT always kept those about him in a happy frame of mind and his quaint sayings were quoted far and wide. His joviality did not desert him even during his last illness. In politics Mr. BURT was a stanch Democrat and he had held many important public offices, among them Supervisor, Justice and President of the village. He was a member of the Supervisors' committee which had in charge the construction of the fireproof building in which the offices of the Surrogate and County Clerk are located. He was the Democratic nominee for Member of Assembly in 1881. In connection with farming, which at times he carried on on an extensive scale, Mr. BURT had for years been engaged in the business of buying and shipping livestock. A.D. WALDO of Batavia was in partnership with him from 1864 until 1879 and Henry CRAFT of Batavia was associated with him about twenty years. It has been said that Mr. BURT was the most widely known man in Genesee county, and that undoubtedly was true, as his business called him to every town. He had been in affluent circumstances, but at the time of his death possessed only a little property. In September, 1856, Mr. BURT was united in marriage to Miss Cornelia DODGE of Castile, who died about two years later. His second wife was Miss Susan M. BROWN of Gainsville, who died on August 11, 1896. Three children were born to Mr. BURT, two sons and a daughter, all of whom are dead. He leaves three grandchildren, Mrs. Erwin LERCH, Burt PRATT and Miss Susan M. PRATT, all of Virginia, Minn., children of his daughter, the late Mrs. Jennie B. PRATT. He is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. S.E. BRUCE of St. Anthony Park, Minn., and Mrs. Mary J. CHACE, formerly of Rochester, who had spent her time with him since the death of his second wife. The funeral will be held from the home at 2 p.m. on Thursday, the Rev. A.M. SHERMAN officiating. *************************** Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com

Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia paper - probably the Daily June 2, 1902 BATAVIA DEANERY VISITED BY DEATH END OF THE LIFE OF MARGARET M. BROUGHAM Highly Respected Sister of the Very Rev. Dean BROUGHAM Passes Away After an Illness of Four Weeks - A Resident of Batavia Twenty Years. Miss Margaret M. BROUGHAM, sister of the Very Rev. Dean Thomas P. BROUGHAM, died at St. Joseph's Deanery on East Main street at 5:15 p.m. on Saturday, after an illness which had confined her to her bed four weeks. For four days she had been unconscious practically all the time. The cause of her death was cirrhosis of the liver. While it had been known for some time that Miss BROUGHAM'S condition was critical, the news of her death was a shock to the many who had known her intimately during the two score years that she had lived in Batavia. As the head of her brother's household she constantly came in contact with the people of his parish and she was dearly loved by those of all classes and ages. She took great delight especially in the little ones, who knew that they were always sure of a hearty welcome at the Deanery. Hers was a very sympathetic nature and there was a place in her warm heart for the joys and sorrows of all who were dear to her. Her genial nature always shone forth in her face and so closely to herself did she keep any sufferings that she might have felt that death's hand was almost upon her before those of her family realized her condition. Her death will be long and sincerely mourned by a very large circle of friends. Miss BROUGHAM was born 40 years ago in County Carlow, Ireland. There she made her home until about 28 years ago, when she came to this country to become the head of the household of her brother, who was then pastor of the church at Newfane, Niagara county. She had lived in Batavia since February 2, 1882. Besides the Very Rev. Dean BROUGHAM, she leaves three brothers, John, who occupies the BROUGHAM homestead in County Carlow, Ireland; Dennis BROUGHAM of Chicago, Ill., and William BROUGHAM of Grand Rapids, Mich. Miss BROUGHAM was one of the charter members of Margaret BROUGHAM Council, C.W.B.L., which was named in honor of her mother. She was chosen the first Chancellor of the organization and held the office about four years. She also was a member of the Ladies' Auxiliary, A.O.H., and was the first County President of that society. Special meetings of both societies were held yesterday afternoon and resolutions of respect were adopted. The societies also decided to attend the funeral in bodies. The funeral will be held at 9 a.m. tomorrow at St., Joseph's church and the services will be conducted by some priest from out of town, several of whom are expected to be present. *************************** Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com

THE NEWARK COURIER Newark, Wayne County, NY Thursday Morning August 16, 1928 LAKE PATROL CAPTURES TWO MEN AND BOATS Four Hundred Bags of Canadian Ale Captured from Rum Runners Tuesday Morning Capture of a 35 foot rum runner, her crew of two men and 400 bags of Daw's Black Horse ale by border patrol was reported early Tuesday morning at Sodus Point. Patrol Chief Frank WITTMAN, with Patrolman John F. FELERSKI and Fred GALLAGHER, Jr., surprised five men unloading a runner at Centennial Point, three miles west of Sodus Point. The ale was all ashore and the crew was loading it into an automobile and truck. The patrol closed in quietly but were spied by a sentry who gave the alarm. The boat's crew swam out and swarmed over the side. The motor roared as it was thrown into full speed ahead leaving a wide wake for the raiders to look at. The remainder of the band jumped into an automobile and escaped. A truck with 250 bags were seized. Earlier Deputy Collector W. W. GREEN of Fairhaven and Patrolman Eugene L. FRALICK of that village discovered a cache of Daw's ale in a boathouse at Fairhaven Bay. They set a "plant" for nine hours and caught two men who gave their names as Jack JENKINS of Mexico Point and Edward MURPHY of Syracuse. There were 150 bags in the cache. A 35 foot cruiser "The Mosquito," was taken in the raid too. MRS.

My grandmother, Sarah Caroline HAWKINS born July, 30 1889 in Alexander, Genesee Co., NY m. Arthur Peter HAHN April 25, 1917, in Alexander, Genesee Co., died December 7, 1969 in Batavia Hospital, a resident of Stafford, Genesee Co. NY, buried in Stafford Cemetery. Since she wrote these as a young girl in Alexander, I suspect that these are local acquaitances of hers. Here are some handwritten notes in her scrapbook: Jared Lea Moore UPHILL was married August 24, 1910. Pearle GEAR and Walter Perry WHITE were married September 18, 1910. Florence Ethel STROH and Marcus Philip LEFFLER were married Wednesday, September 21, 1910. Rose TIMM was married to Henry SIMONDS March 1913. Ida BOWEN and Fred BENNETT married January 1914 (boy born Nov. 3, 1914) Girl born to Mr. & Mrs. Earl SPRAGUE Oct. 1914 (Dorothy May) Following the handwritten entries are several loose obituaries, some pinned in with a straight pin. Then there are several pages of newspaper articles glued in such as "The Past Year's Events on Record arranged in chronological order for ready reference. Summary of the Miscellaneous affairs, accidents and incidents, births, deaths, marriages and Items of Interest for the Year 1907." I don't know the name or location of the paper, but suspect that it would be a paper local to Alexander (Genesee Co.) or Attica (Wyoming Co.) If there is interest I will transcribe this and other articles of interest from her scrapbook which is yellowed and crumbly with age, a treasure for me! Kathy in Arkansas

The committee appointed at a previous meeting to revise the constitution, consisting of Messrs. A. KURFURST, George NETH, Charles HOCKEL, Charles THIEM and Charles MANNS, reported at length. Among the proposed changes it was suggested that upon the death of any member an additional $50 should be allowed his family for funeral expenses, and in case of the death of the wife of a member that the husband shall be allowed $25. Other changes were also advised by the committee and were debated upon at length. The committee on procuring a banner, consisting of M. BAUER, Charles KOHL and A.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Monday Evening, December 14-1896 DUSTIN'S STORE CLOSED. Stephen A. DUSTIN's drug and grocery store at No. 57 Main street was closed this morning by Under Sheriff SOUTHWORTH on the foreclosure of a chattel mortgage for $1,070 on the stock of goods and fixtures given by DUSTIN to his wife, Kate L. DUSTIN. The mortgage was not filed in the County Clerk's office until this morning. The action seems to have been mutually agreed upon between Mr. and Mrs. DUSTIN. The Under Sheriff advertises to sell the mortgaged stuff at public sale on December 21st. + + PROMINENT LE ROYAN DEAD. Le Roy.--Miles P. LAMPSON, a lifelong resident of this village, died at his home on West Main street this afternoon, aged about fifty years. He had been in ill health for several years. He is survived only by his brother, William LAMPSON. * Le Roy.--Dogs got into Charles ROGERS's flock of sheep on Friday night and succeeded in biting 26 of them. Some probably will die. Mr. ROGERS, who lives about 1 1/2 miles south of this village, values the damage to his flock at $125. Mrs. George H. WELLS is ill at her home on Church street. + + NEW BISHOP OF BUFFALO. Buffalo.--News from Rome is to the effect that the Pope has approved of the selection of the Rev. James E. QUIGLEY to be Bishop of Buffalo to succeed the late Bishop RYAN. Father QUIGLEY said he knew his name was on the nominating list, but his appointment came as a surprise, as he had received no official notification. The Rev. James E. QUIGLEY was born in this city October 15, 1855, and received his early education in St. Joseph's college, graduating in 1872, when he entered the Seminary of Our Lady of Angels at Suspension Bridge to prepare for the priesthood. His abilities attracted the attention of Bishop RYAN and in 1873 he was sent to the University at Innspruch[sic], Austria. In 1875 he was transferred to the Propaganda at Rome, and in 1879 finished his course and was ordained, the degree of D.D. being conferred upon him. He returned to this country and was assigned to the charge of a church at Attica. In 1883 the Rev. Edward Kelley resigned as rector of the Cathedral, and Dr. QUIGLEY was transferred to the vacant position, which he has since held. + + MINISTERS IN SESSION. The regular meeting of the Ministers' association at the Y.M.C.A. rooms this morning was fairly well attended. The Rev. O.P. WILDEY of Elba presided and the Rev. E. JONES of North Pembroke was elected Permanent Secretary and Treasurer, to succeed the Rev. W.T. EDDS, who is soon to remove from East Pembroke. The Rev. D.E. BURT of South Alabama was selected as critic for the session. "The Best Preparation for a Revival on the Part of Pastor and People" was the subject of a thoughtful paper read by the Rev. J.M. SCARFF of Bethany. All true revivals originated with God, Mr. SCARFF said, and they could only be brought about by prayer and united efforts on the part of both pastor and people and by the pastor preaching against sin. A lengthy discussion followed, in which all present participated. + + FOR COUNTY TREASURER The second term of John M. HAMILTON as County Treasurer will expire with the year 1897. A successor to him will be nominated in the Republican county convention next fall, and it is given out that two candidates are already in the field. Both are Batavians. One is Albert E. BROWN, the shoe dealer and for several years the efficient Secretary of the Genesee County Agricultural society, and the other is Oren C. STEELE, son-in-law of Robert B. PEASE and who was elected Treasurer of the Village of Batavia for several successive terms. It is said that other candidates will announce themselves later on. The Buffalo 'Times' (Dem.) yesterday, in an article containing many misstatements, wrote up the aspirants for the postmastership of Batavia. It said that Dr. J.W. LeSEUR, William E. PRENTICE, District-Attorney LeSEUR, Mayor Willis D. SANFORD, Ald. Charles A. WILLIAMS, ex-Assemblyman John M. McKENZIE, Ald. Frank C. HEAL and City Clerk George E. PERRIN are among the candidates. Pictures of Dr. Le SEUR,, Mr. McKENZIE, Mayor SANFORD, and Ald. HEAL were printed. So far as Dr. Le SEUR is concerned he has told 'The News' that he is not a candidate and that he was not aware that his brother, the District Attorney, was in the field. George M. GILLETTE of Bergen, who during the late campaign was a special agent of the Republican State committee, is said to continue to hold confidential relations with the powers and to be regarded as quite a factor in the distribution of patronage. John S. BROWN of Le Roy is spoken of as likely to receive the appointment of Under Sheriff by Sheriff-elect William H. HEAL. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican May 11, 1848 THE SUSPECTED MURDERERS OF MRS. PIERCE A rumor has been current in our city for a week or ten days, that the murderers of Mr. Porter P. PIERCE had been arrested and confined in jail, and as is usual, the story lost nothing by being repeated. It is true that four individuals, two men and their wives, have been in confinement, under suspicion, but nothing has been elicited that shows the least guilt. In the first place the wife of a Frenchman was complained of by her husband, and brought to the Police office, and while there she threatened to reveal certain things that would be greatly to his disadvantage; and finally, under oath, while somewhat intoxicated, testified that her husband had ad mitted to her that himself and another individual named had committed the murder; that her husband's clothes were bloody, and she had endeavored to clean them; giving also various other circumstances that induced the belief that there might possibly be something in it, and anxious to take all possible means to solve the mystery, the authorities committed the four. On visiting their premises, the clothes were found to have spots on them which very much resembled blood, but yet on her subsequent examination, the woman swore that she was not aware that she had testified as previously stated, and that if she had, it was all false; she knew nothing of the murder, and had only heard that a body had been found, without learning any of the attendant circumstances. In this statement, she persisted with the utmost apparent sincerity, and after a full examination of every circumstance, they were discharged on Thursday. The probability is, that the first statement was but the ravings of an intoxicated, maddened woman, which the spots upon the clothes, and upon a shirt, seemed to confirm. No tangible evidence of guilt whatever was brought out on the examination. We have been thus particular in the matter, for the reason that there are a thousand unfounded rumors afloat. ** MARRIAGES In this city, on last Sunday evening in St. Mary's Church, by the Rev.

The Daily News Batavia, Genesee County, New York State Saturday Evening, January 21-1893 CALLED BACK BY MAMMA.--Little Lena PALMER's Runaway Attempt Frustrated. Lena PALMER, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Philip PALMER of Bank Street, attempted to leave town last night in company with a horse jockey named PUTNAM, whose home is near Alexander, but her plans were upset by her mother. The girl is 16 or 17 years of age, it is said, but she is very small and does not look to be more than twelve years old. Her companion looked to be at least 35 years old. The couple made their appearance at the Central depot early yesterday afternoon and remained there until the 8:30 accommodation, westbound, came to the station, when they boarded that train. They alighted, however, before the train left. About 6 o'clock the girl's mother, who came down street to look for her daughter and learned in some manner that she had been seen in company with a man, made her appearance at the Central depot. She found her daughter sitting in a car on the Attica train in a seat across the aisle from her male friend. She seized her by the shoulder and jerked her out of the seat, but the girl broke away and threw her arms around the man and attempted to cling to him. The fond embrace was broken up by the mother, who hustled the wayward daughter out of the car at a lively rate and took her home. The man remained on the train and proceeded to Alexander. + + McPHERSON - JOHNSON Stone Church.--At the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. John JOHNSON of Stone Church on Thursday evening, Miss Olena C., their daughter, was united in marriage to Homer McPHERSON.

It became evident during the night that the trouble was with the main, as the water poured into the cellar with increasing force, flooding it and putting out the fire in the furnace. Street Superintendent HAY was called out at 3 o'clock this morning and he put a force of men to work endeavoring to locate the break.

To Secure Her Release They Will Leave No Stone Unturned. New York.--A meeting in behalf of Mrs. Florence E. MAYBRICK, who was convicted of poisoning her husband and who is now in jail in England, was held here yesterday afternoon. The meeting was called by Dr. Helen DINSMORE, Miss G.E. FULLER and Dr. Harriet KEATING, and was for the purpose of arousing interest in Mrs. MAYBRICK's behalf. Among the speakers were Col. A.H.H. DAWSON, who presided, Prof. George GUNTON, the Rev. Dr. Charles H. EATON, and Dr. Henriette KEATING. Dr. DINSMORE gave an exhaustive review of the case, which, if true, proves Mrs. MAYBRICK to be a greatly wronged woman. A committee of five was appointed to further arouse public sentiment and solicit subscriptions. These contributions will be used for the purpose of sending orators to England and to arouse public interest there. This is believed to be the only feasible method of procuring a re-trial or discharge. Letters expressing sympathy were read from Mrs. S. VanRENSSELAER CRUGER, Mrs. WILLIAMS, formerly of the Board of Education; Mrs. Abram S. HEWITT, Col. INGERSOLL and Chauncey M. DEPEW, all of whom consented to the use of their names.

Then Mr. MILLER, who was at the Chicago end of the wire, gave the New Yorkers a cornet solo, which was heard very distinctly. In return James s. BURDETT recited "The Good Man's Creed." Frank LINCOLN sang a French air and Harry PUTNAM gave a whistling solo with a banjo accompaniment. A general reception was then held, during which everybody present talked over the wire. Ex-Mayor Carter HARRISON, who is now the proprietor of the Chicago Times, and Joseph MEDILL, the editor of the Chicago Tribune, were among the Chicago audience. + + PRIZE FIGHT IN ROCHESTER. A twelve-round prize fight for a nominal purse, took place last evening in a resort just outside the city between Teddy LANG and Young ENGLAND, two local scrappers, before an audience of some fifty or sixty local sports. LANG was the victor, but ENGLAND was badly handicapped, having landed a terrific blow in the second round which broke his thumb on the left hand, but he continued to fight for ten rounds thereafter. In the seventh ENGLAND received a blackened eye and was knocked down twice. He was a skillful dodger and a good ducker, which accounted for his lasting so long under the punishment given him. In the eleventh ENGLAND came up very groggy and in the twelfth was easily disposed of. LANG had hardly a mark upon him. Ike FARRELL was referee. + + QUARTER-MILLION DOLLAR FIRE IN NEW YORK. New York.--Fire broke out at 2:05 o'clock this morning in the four-story building Nos. 446 to 450 Washington street, at the southwest corner of KING street.
