Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sept 1, 1911 FORMER PALMYRA MAN IS PROBABLY DROWNED Body Found Believed To Be Charles C. Hulbert's Palmyra, Aug. 31 - News has reached this village of the tragic death of Charles C. HULBERT, a former Palmyra citizen. A body was washed ashore from the Hudson river at Haverstraw, N. Y., yesterday, with a New York-Central time table in the pocket with the name "C. C. HULBERT." written on the margin.

Spirit of the Times Batavia, Genesee Co., NY July 1 1851 THE GLORIOUS FOURTH Again let every heart be gay-- Again we hail the Nation's day! The day, when so to the darkened Earth Was published Freedom's glorious birth; The day when with unqailing[sic] hand And fearless hearts, that Patriot band Inscribed their dear and deathless name Upon the scroll of mighty fame. They reared, on that eventful day, A fame that never shall decay. Though kings and kingdoms lose their power, Its dome shall brighten every hour-- A temple of the truly free, Whose fame has gone o'er every sea, And as a friendly pharos stands To God's wronged poor in every land. Oh, Glorious Union of the West! Thy onward course can never rest; And well may foreign despots start To list the pulses of thy heart. They see in better rule of thine Ill omen for their "rights divine," And fear the tempest of the day When stolen power shall pass away. And he who feels within his heart To read the links of love apart That bind this sisterhood of states-- Unmindful of the toils, the fate, Of those for him who freely gave Their lives upon the land and wave, Such ingrate foe to liberty, Unhonored in his day shall be. And when oblivion dark has spread Her pall of silence o'er his head, The names of those who ever sought Their country's glory, and who taught, The child to love his land of birth, As worthiest of the lands of earth-- Embalmed in million hearts shall be As long as man on earth is free. And when on each revolving year Returns the day to freedom dear, >From Northern lake to Southern plain, Posterity shall meet again Beneath the ensign of the free, And sing the hymns of liberty-- Of blessings by the patriot won, And pledged to every worthy son. And while the blithesome song they raise, The freeman's heart will render praise To Him who cheered the patriot on, Who ruled the heart of Washington; Who fertile makes the plains and hills, The land with bliss and plenty fills; Remembering that the realms that rest Their trust in God shall flourish best.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Mar 1, 1849 FOR CALIFORNIA — Four young gentlemen from Scottsville left this city at eleven o'clock, yesterday, for California. They are Doct. W. G. LACY, Joseph P. HANFORD, Richard ALLEN, and James B. GATES. They go across the Isthmus. May health, happiness, and the fulfilment of their expectations be their lot. — [American of Wednesday.] * We are glad to inform the numerous friends of the first gentleman named, that he was in our city yesterday. The change of climate and his long journey had not produced the least change in his appearance, and he was readily recognized by his acquaintances. ** A NEW CURE FOR DRUNKARDS — Dr. SCHREIBER, of Stockholm, has succeeded in curing drunkards of their bad habits. He isolates the patient, gives him brandy and water to drink, prepares all his food with brandy and water and mixes these with his tea and coffee. At the end of a few weeks the regimen produces an uncontrolable disgust and repugnance. A physician should, however, watch the operation for fear of apoplexy and cerebral congestion. One hundred and thirty idle soldiers were so treated with perfect success. ** MECHANICS & FARMERS BANK AT ALBANY — A statement has been going the rounds of the papers, stating that Theodore OLCOTT, who has just been acquitted of legal perjury in connection with his proceedings as cashier of the Canal Bank of Albany, has been appointed cashier of the mechanics and Farmers' Bank of that city. The Journal says that Thomas OLCOTT, who succeeds Mr. KENDRICK as cashier of the Mechanics and Farmers' Bank, is not the OLCOTT, implicated in the frauds of the other institution. ** A tall wedding in high life took place in the American Museum in New York on Saturday evening — being no less than the marriage of the Giant and Giantess who have been exhibiting there for some time past. The former is 27 years of age, stands 8 feet in his stockings and weighs over 500 lbs. The latter is 21 years of age, is nearly 8 feet high, and weighs 387 lbs. ** It is high time for Democrats "to bury the hatchet," to sacrifice all minor differences upon the alter of their country's good, and to unite as one man in an effort to drive out the "Goth's" from the Capitol. Within ninety days after the inaugeration of TAYLOR, the profligacy of whiggery will be so apparent, that the Democracy will unite as one man to drive them from power. ** SUICIDE — A scotchman named James CAIRNES, shot himself in Brighton on Saturday. He arrived in this country last August, and has since his arrival resided with his brother-in-law, near the canal in Brighton, about two miles from this city. About two months before leaving Scotland his wife died, and since he has lived here he has been in rather a melancholy mood. Within the last two week's a change in his health, supposed to have been induced by the melancholy state of his mind, has been quite apparent, so much so that fears were entertained by his friends, and some precautions taken to prevent his committing suicide. There was a gun, loaded with shot and a precussion cap on, in the house. The precussion cap was removed from it in order that he could not injure himself with it. On Saturday morning however, the deceased came to this city and returned. He was discovered shortly after, dead in his room. A box of precussion caps was found near him, the muzzle of the gun levelled against his breast. He had removed his boot and sock from his foot and discharged the gun by pulling the trigger with his toe. Coroner FROST held an inquest over the body, and a verdict was given in accordance with the above facts. ** TERRIBLE DISASTER — We learn from the McGrawville Express that the boiler of the steam engine connected with the tannery, which had been employed for several days in the propelling of the machinery for the sawing of lumber, exploded, killing instantly Amasa HOLMES — a lad 13 years old, son of Samuel HOLMES of that village. It appears that he was at work in front of the engine, piling wood, and was thrown by the explosion violently against the wall of the building, where the timbers from above — the roof having been completely demolished — struck him, mutilating him in a shocking manner. Three other individuals were seriously injured, but not mortally. The cause of the explosion has not been satisfactorily determined. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Her body was first discovered about 10 o'clock at night, terribly mangled. ** A man somewhat intoxicated, was driving about the city at railroad speed, on Tuesday night in a sleigh with his family.

He has resided here for more than twenty years, and for most part of the time has kept an inferior tavern, near the foot of Main street. He has been suspected several times of committing depredation upon his guests, in the way of plunder, and once was charged with murder, but escaped punishment, from a want of testimony sufficient to produce conviction. However, when advised that his end was near at hand, he manifested a desire to have an acquaintance sent for, that he might confess his crimes before he died. The person sent for came, and the old man confessed. From that person who is highly respectable, we learn that the statement involves several robberies of guests at his house, and the murder for which he was arrested many years ago, and tried but not convicted. -- The full particulars of the confession have not been furnished us, but we learn that the old man stated that he buried the body on the premises.-- Some search has been made, but with what success, we are not informed. During the search on Saturday, several articles were found secreted about the premises which indicated the truth of the confession. Among other things was an oval brass trunk plate, much corroded, which bears this inscription — "E. BALDWIN, Rochester, N. Y." This may afford some clue to a mysterious disappearance either of the property or person of the owner, or perhaps both. — These confessions, we think need not be questioned, as they have been forced from the dying man by the power of conscience under deep sense of guilt. — [Buffalo Express] ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Rochester, Monroe, NY Rochester Republican Feb 15, 1849 MURDER — A most brutal murder has been committed in the vicinity of Uxbridge, Mass., upon the body of Prudence ARNOLD by William KNOWLTON. The victim was a young girl of about twelve years of age. The murderer was a young man between the ages of twenty-two and twenty- five. The murder was committed about 9 o'clock, A. M. The family with whom deceased was residing had gone away, leaving in the house only herself, her sister and KNOWLTON. Previous to committing the horrid deed he took the precaution to ascend the stairs into the hall, and to fasten one of the two doors leading from it with a knife. He then descended and shortly after the girl entered the hall and was followed by him into a bedroom, where he cut her throat with a razor, inflicting a mortal wound three inches long and two deep.-- After committing the act, he endeavored to cut his own throat with a razor. He has been arrested, and will await his trial in May next. On his examination he plead not guilty, but the evidence was so strong against him as to leave no doubt of his guilt. KNOWLTON was a laborer in the family where the girl resided. Another person has since been arrested on a charge of aiding, abetting, and hiring him to commit the horrid deed. ** Mr. ELLIS was the enterprising builder of the Niagara Falls Suspension Bridge. ** AWFUL DEATH Col. Otis DIMOCK, a very respectable citizen of Darien, came to his death on Friday the 27th ult., in a most horrible manner. As near as we have been able to learn the particulars, they are as follows. He left home in the morning, taking his axe and dinner with him, intending to remain all day in the woods, engaged in felling trees. At near dark he had not returned, and his wife sent their little boy in quest of him. On going through an open field, he found where his father had fallen a tall dry tree. His axe was standing against the stump of the tree, but he was not to be found. He took the axe home, and told his mother there was something on the axe which stuck to his hands. Upon looking at it, they found the axe covered with blood. The neighbors immediately went to the spot, and found his body crushed and mangled in a most terrible manner, under the body of the fallen tree. The weight of the tree had been the means of bespattering the axe with blood, as before mentioned. It is supposed that after he had cut the tree nearly down, he placed the axe against the stump and went towards a heap of rails, for the purpose of getting one with which to push the tree in the right direction — but the tree fell while he was in range, and crushed him to atoms! Thus has an estimable citizen, in the prime of life, with a family looking to him for protection, been cut down in a moment by the insatiable fiat of the fell Destroyer, and a happy family made to mourn his untimely death. Truly, "in the midst of life we are in death!" — [Batavia Advertiser] ** — If a ship is of the feminine gender, why are not fighting vessels called women-of-war instead of men-of-war? Answer that, will you ? ** A Clergyman found Guilty of the murder of his Wife ! Plymouth, N. H., Feb. 3d, 1849 A Special Session of the Common Pleas Court for this county was brought to a close last evening, and the Rev. Ezra DUDLEY, a clergyman of a neighboring town, has been found guilty of the Murder of his Wife!, on the evening of the 5th of March last; murdered cruelly and brutally that she might be "out of the way" of his connection with another woman for whom he had entertained a most gross and unhallowed affection. This piece of diabolism was worked off in the midst of a wonderful "revival," gotten up and carried on by this Reverend Murderer, and it was on their way home from an evening prayer meeting, where there had been more than a usual display of the ‘power of the Lord' that this wretch clasped his ordained and consecrated fingers about the throat of his defenceless wife, until she ceased to breathe. It is but about half a dozen years since another preacher of this county was found guilty by our courts, of murder of his wife too, driven into this depth of iniquity by the same ungodly passion that has overwhelmed poor DUDLEY. Though in this retired section we may not enjoy all the "Gospel privileges" of more favored regions, yet it cannot with truth be said that all our deaths takes place without "benefit of clergy." — [Cor.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Democrat & Chronicle Sat May 31, 1902 MRS. SAMUELS PLANNED TO DIE Started Fire and Sat Down To Smother Was Burned When Saved She Had Became Tired of Life and of Keeping a Second-Hand Clothing Store- Had Been Sick and Unbalanced Mind Resulted Cremation in her burning store awaited Mrs. Nathan SAMUELS, proprietor of a small second- hand clothing establishment at No. 18 Monroe avenue, when discovery of her peril prevented that frightful fate. As it was, one of her hands was scorching and the store was full of suffocating smoke when she was carried out. This happened shortly before 8 o'clock last night. Acting Lieutenant John MONAGHAN, of the second precinct, was passing the Bamber building on his way to work when two young men who had discovered Mrs. SAMUEL'S store to be on fire summoned him into the place. He entered and found Mrs. SAMUELS sitting in a rocking chair beside a red hot stove and within two feet of crackling flames and burning clothing. Mrs. SAMUELS minded not the fire, but sat rocking complacently and waiting for death in the stifling smoke. Officer MONAGAN, with the help of L. MEYERS and George K. SMITH, who discovered the fire, got Mrs. SAMUELS out of the store. The officer summoned an ambulance from the Hahnemann Hospital and telephoned for Hose No. 1 and Chemical No. 2 of Stone street. The firemen had the blaze extinguished by the time the ambulance arrived. Mrs. SAMUELS was taken to the Hahnemann Hospital, where her burned hand was treated. It was apparent to those who saw her that she was not in her right mind. She admitted that she was tired of life and wanted to die, and that she intended to suffocate in the smoke from the burning clothes. The plans for doing away with her life were crude and incomplete. She had not even locked the front door to prevent anyone from entering to save her. Had she done so it seems almost certain that she could not have been saved before the fire reached her dress. The flames were but a short distance from her light clothing. Those once afire, she would have been fatally burned in a moment. Mrs. SAMUELS is 58 years old. She has been sick for a long time and it is thought that her mind has thus become unbalanced. She has a husband, but he was nowhere about last night. No other relatives are known by those living near her. The fire caused about $50 damage to the store and stock. From the indications it was thought the fire had been burning about half an hour. ** CRAZED BY DRINK Suffering From Delirium, Oliver Parmington Did Much Mischief Residents of Jersey street were startled yesterday afternoon by the screams of a woman and several children, who rushed into the street from their home at No. 8. A large crowd quickly collected, and it was noised about that Oliver PARMINGTON, a laborer, had suddenly become insane and had threatened the lives of the members of his family. A great racket was being caused all the time by PARMINGTON, who was engaged in demolishing the household furnishings. Three men, one of whom was Dr. John ACHESON, of University avenue, ventured into the house and overpowered PARMINGTON, who was raging like a wild man. Dr. ACHESON discovered that PARMINGTON was suffering from a violent attack of delirium tremens. PARMINGTON was turned over to Officer FINKLE, who sent him to police headquarters in a patrol wagon. His condition became so critical that Police Surgeon STAPLETON and other doctors were summoned. All expressed the fear that PARMINGTON would not survive the night. At a late hour it was reported that his condition was about the same. ** COURT MATTERS Police Court Rochester, N. Y., May 30, 1902 Present --Hon. John H.

During the exercises under the direction of the Michigan Association of Veterans, seventy-five young girls, dressed in white, each cast a rose upon the water in remembrance of the naval heroes who rest in unknown graves. ** To The Memory of the Late President Canton, O., May 30 - Many floral offerings, to be placed upon the tomb of the late President McKINLEY, were received here last night and this morning, including beautiful pieces from the White House. Later Mrs. McKINLEY took the flowers to West Lawn and had them arranged about the tomb. ** Honoring Colgate's Heroes Hamilton, N. Y., May 30 - Colgate University celebrated Memorial Day by decorating a tablet in the college library, commemorative of Colgate men who fell during the Civil war. Addresses were made by President G. E. MERRILL, Deacon D. W. SKINNER and George B. MARSTEN, ‘02. ** Rain at Utica Utica, May 30 - Memorial Day services were interfered here to-day because of rain which fell continually throughout the forenoon.

Y., May 30 - Dr. F. W. BROCKWAY of Erin, Chemung county, was thrown out of his wagon at Bresport tonight and fatally injured. His head struck a stone in the road. He died thirty minutes after the accident. ** How Cheap Baking Powder is Made The Health Department of New York has seized a quantity of so-called cheap baking powder, which it found in that city. Attention was attracted to it by the low price at which it was being sold in the department stores. Samples were taken and the chemist of the health Department reported the stuff to be "an alum powder," which analysis showed to be composed chiefly of alum and pulverized rock. The powder was declared to be dangerous to health, and several thousand pounds were carted to the offal dock and destroyed. It is unsafe to experiment with these so-called "cheap" articles of food. They are sure to be made from alum, rock, or other injurious matter. In baking powders, the high class, cream of tarter brands are the most economical, because they go farther in use and are healthful beyond question. ** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

The alarm was at once given and citizens responded in large numbers, and by aid of the fire apparatus the flames were subdued. The fire when discovered by Dr. PAYNE was in a basket of rags, old papers and other rubbish. It had no doubt been burning for some time. Many theories are advanced in regard to its origin, some thinking it to be of an incendiary character and others attributing it to spontaneous combustion. The building was owned by Sheriff TILLEY and his loss is covered by insurance. Mr. BUHR will lose some on stock and fixtures, all insured. The sum of $200 will cover all loss.
