Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name - probably the Batavia Daily) November 7, 1904 MRS. EDWARD BADY COMMITS SUICIDE EAST ALEXANDER WOMAN CUT HER THROAT TODAY. While Alone at the Home of Her Brother, David KERR, She Slashed Herself With a Razor - Her Husband Met Death on the Railroad on August 17th Mrs. Sarah BADY, aged about sixty years and widow of Edward BADY, committed suicide this morning by cutting her throat at the home of her brother, David KERR, of East Alexander. Both Mr. and Mrs. KERR went away from home this morning, leaving Mrs. BADY alone. She apparently was in good spirits at that time. When Mrs. KERR returned about 11 o'clock she found Mrs. BADY on her knees in the woodshed, with blood spurting from a terrible gash in her throat, while a razor lay on the floor by her side. After assisting her to a chair in the kitchen Mrs. KERR hastily summoned help and a messenger was sent for Dr. MILLER of Alexander. Mrs. BADY expired in a few minutes, however, bleeding to death. Mrs. BADY'S husband, Edward BADY, was killed by a Delaware & Lackawanna train at Mt. Morris early on the morning of August 17th. He was employed as a carpenter on the railroad and was walking on the track when he was struck by a train and beheaded. Despondency over her husband's death and the fact that she was in financial straits are supposed to have been the causes of her terrible act. She had no children. On reaching the KERR house and finding Mrs. BADY dead, Dr. Miller returned to Alexander and telephoned Coroner SNOW, who went to East Alexander this afternoon. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department

Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name - probably the Batavia Daily) November 14th or 15th, 1904 MRS. JAMES BARR OF BERGEN Her Death at the Age of 74 Years - Was Born in the Town of Le Roy Bergen, Nov. 14 - Mrs James BARR died yesterday morning at 7 o'clock, aged 74 years. The cause of her death was a cancer on the liver. The maiden name of Mrs. BARR was Mary CAMPBELL and she was a daughter of Archibald and Catherine CAMPBELL of Le Roy. She was born November 3, 1830, and lived on the home farm until her marriage to James BARR, November 15, 1850, when she became a resident of Bergen. Fourteen years were spent on the farm north of the village and forty years on the townline road farm. She was the mother of three daughters and one son. Only one of the children, Mrs. A. LUSCHER of Le Roy, is living. On March 31, 1882, Mrs. BARR united with the Congregational church, of which the Rev. D. D. McCOLL was at the time the pastor, on profession of her faith. All who knew her can testify to the influence her faith had on her life, and to the comfort it gave her in prospect of death. During her last illness she suffered much, but uncomplainingly, and when death came it found her prepared to depart in peace. Besides her husband she leaves seven grandchildren, two of whom, James and Mary BARR, have always lived with their grandparents, and two sisters, Mrs. E. HAULENBECK [sic] of Bergen and Mrs. Margaret C. DOUGLAS of Le Roy. The funeral will be held at the house on Wednesday afternoon at 1 o'clock, the Rev. Seth COOK conducting the service. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com (above Mary CAMPBELL BARR was a sister to my g-g-grandmother, Nancy [Daisy] CAMPBELL FAGAN) Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department

Hi all ! I received my limit of 10 volunteers ( and a couple of extra:-) There is no way I can handle any my right now. I was thrilled to hear from so many willing typists out there. From all different states - Alabama, Missouri, NJ, MA, Wisconsin, Texas, New Mexico, few from NY, and even one from out of the country ! In a couple weeks, the list should be getting transcriptions from newspapers from the 10 assorted counties of their choice - assuming that there is no other transcriptions from that county & year already in the archives. If there are others out there who are very interested in transcribing and would still like to volunteer, contact me in a few weeks. If I have not been totally overwhelmed by this project - I may do it again. No promises, though :-) Kathy

For Second Assistant Chief Engineer, William A. MILLREA' For Secretary, Thomas A. BRADY For Treasurer, Frank S. BLOODGOOD. NEW OFFICERS IN AHWAGA HOUSE. Owing to the election of Firemen William A. MILLREA, as Second Assistant Engineer of the Department No. 6 was obliged to choose a new foreman. They very wisely promoted Fred C. PENNY from position of First of First Assistant Foreman to that of Foreman and Second Assistant, E. D. COBURN was placed in Mr. Penny's former position and F. L. RAYMOND was elected Second Assistant to succeed Mr. COBURN. THE STILES FAMILY. Wednesday May 30. was the sixtieth anniversary of the birth of Mrs. B. C. STILES of Tioga and her five children, eleven grandchildren, and brothers and sisters surprised her on that occasion by a family reunion. There were present Mr. and Mrs. F. H.

STILES and with one or two exceptions all her brothers and sisters. Elegant refreshments were served and the occasion was a very valuable one to Mrs. STILES and her guests. FIRE IN A CANDOR CHURCH. Last evening shortly after 7:00 o'clock after the bell of St. Mark's (Episcopal) church of Candor had been rung to summon the congregation together for evening services, and after the church had lighted, a large chandelier which had been suspended from the ceiling in about the centre of the church fell with a heavy crash, into the pews below it scattering burning kerosene oil in all directions, which set the building on fire. Fortunately ready hands, aided by well directed pew cushions soon were able to smother out the fire before serious damage was done. A larger audience than usual was soon inside the building when the alarm was given, but owing to smoke, fire, confusion and excitement no service was held. The damage is covered by insurance. Fortunately no one was sitting under the chandelier as it fell, as there had been, there is little doubt someone would have been killed. THE SCHOOL MA'AMS' DARLING.

The officer also understood that she had about $2,000 worth of diamonds. Mr. FORD ascertained that the goods were some which she has had for a number of years and most of the clothing she had made herself. He also found that at one time she had a large collection of diamonds, but that they were all gone now. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department

Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name) July 12, 1898 GOODS WITHOUT END What Officer PLATO Found in the House of an Ex-Circus Performer Mrs. Mildred SMITH appeared before Police-Justice WOODWARD about 10 o'clock this morning and asked that a search warrant be issued against Mrs. Rose WHITCHER of No. 5 Mill street to recover a silk dress waist alleged to have been taken by Mrs. WHITCHER about June 30th. Mrs. SMITH is a daughter of Richard MAYNE, who conducts the West End motel with Barney OWENS as manager. The license is in Mrs. SMITH'S name. Mrs. WITCHER is an ex-circus performer and fortune teller, and during the races stayed in the West End motel and told fortunes. It is alleged that while there she took the waist. The warrant was given to Officer PLATO, who, accompanied by OWENS, went to the house and after searching some time found the waist. Mrs. WHITCHER claims that the waist was given to her by a girl at the hotel for telling her fortune. No arrests were made, as Mrs. SMITH declined to prosecute. While Officer PLATO was prosecuting his search he met with a surprising discovery. Before he found the waist he brought to light new drygoods and clothing which he thinks are worth between $1,000 and $1,500. These were packed away in trunks, boxes and closets and consisted of wearing apparel of nearly every description. One trunk was found which was said by the officer to be worth about $100. Among the articles were about thirty bedspreads and quilts, 15 sacks, men and women's clothing of every description and several dozen pairs of women's gloves, all of which were new. Mrs. WHITCHER told a reporter for THE NEWS this afternoon that the clothing found by the officer had been bought by her or by her husband when he was alive. "Both of us were formerly in the circus business," she said, "and had a great deal of clothing. I haven't any new clothing at all," she added, "and what I have is all mine. It is all old fashioned and has been in my possession for a number of years." ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department

Batavia, Genesee County, NY Batavia Paper (unknown name) July 22, 1898 INDICTED FOR FORGERY Sheriff HEAL goes to New York For Attorney George R. KESNER Sheriff HEAL received a telegram yesterday afternoon from George W. McCLUSKY, Chief of the Detective Bureau of New York, stating that George R. KESNER was under arrest in that city and requesting that an officer be sent for him at once. The Sheriff left at 7:54 o'clock last evening to bring KESNER back to Batavia. KESNER was indicted by the last Grand Jury on the charge of forgery. A few years ago a large number of insurance policies in the Brooklyn Lloyds Insurance company of Brooklyn were issued to residents in Western New York among which was one issued to Etta W. QUILHOT. The policy was on a house in Alexander which afterwards burned. Not receiving any insurance Mrs. QUILHOT brought an action against KESNER, whose name appeared on the policies as the attorney of record for the company. Judgments were obtained, but when actions were begun against stockholders they put in sworn answers in which they claimed that their names had been used without authority and that they were not individual insurers in the company. The outcome was the indictment of KESNER for perjury. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department

TOWNSEND and JOHNSON of Bergen, who came to Batavia yesterday afternoon to examine William BARR of Bergen, who was suddenly taken violently insane on Sunday morning and who was committed to jail by Justice McPHERSON of Bergen, reported that BARR was insane and Judge NORTH immediately committed him to the Willard State Hospital for the Insane. BARR is about 35 years of age and has a wife and three children. When he was 12 years of age his head was injured in an accident and ever since then he has been subject to epileptic fits. This, together with alcoholism, is said to be the cause of the young man’s unfortunate condition. On Saturday he attempted to shoot his father and mother with a revolver, but after a struggle his father succeeded in taking the weapon from him. It was found to be loaded. He has been in a dangerous condition for several weeks and has been growing worse all the time. ******************* Submitted by Joan Falcone Arnold - Jma8763@aol.com Copied from Obit books at Genesee County History Department (Related to above mentioned wife & mother)
