Republican Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY February 15 1838 DIED.--At Pembroke, on the Morning of the 4th inst. Mrs. Susanna WALLIS, wife of the Rev. Hugh WALLIS, aged 64. In early life, she made a profession of religion, and became a member of the 1st Presbyterian Church of Hudson, N.Y. at its organization. On her marriage in 1808, she removed to Pompey, then the scene of her husband's labors. For more than twenty of the last years of her life, she resided in this county, where she labored with commendable zeal in the cause of her Master. To her highly cultivated mind, was added warm but unostentatious piety. As a christian, she was exemplary; as a wife, affectionate; as a mother, watchful and ceaseless in parental assiduities; as the companion of a clergyman, courteous and urbane. Her last hours were distinguished for calm resignation and joyous confidence in God. She died as she lived, a firm believer in the doctrines of the Bible. Though friends and bereaved relatives drop tears of affection on her grave, yet to them she has bequeathed the sweetest consolation, in leaving behind the fullest evidence that both the death and awards of the righteous, were hers. + + Eighteen Senators of the state of N.York, have at length deliberately taken the responsibility of saying to their constituents, that the people's will is to be set down as naught. The servants have said to their masters, "we are better qualified to judge of what is for your benefit than you are yourselves." Will the people submit to this dictation from their Senators? Will they not rather firmly resolve to hurl with indignation, from the places they occupy, the men who have laughed to (missing word) their clearly expressed wishes? We have yet to see what farther action the Assembly will take upon this important question, and we wait the issue in perfect confidence of their firmness, and determination to do their duty. -Buff. Com. Adv. + + Wheat and Flour--Wheat is abundant at $1 per bushel, which is a shade too high, when it is considered that flour will not command $5 per bbl. in large quantities. The great quantities of flour in store at various points, and the unusually large crop of wheat last year, added to money being ver scarce, and daily growing more so:--all these causes justify the belief that grain of every kind, flour, and other produce, must yet experience a still farther decline. Indeed we are assured by intelligent farmers that the country is full of everything, and if our currency was better, our market would be overflowing with all kinds of produce. --Pittsburgh Intel. + + submitted by Linda C. Schmidt

The girl was rolled over in the road several times and the wheels of the car passed directly over her body. Mrs. LASCHANDE endeavored to attract the attention of the driver of the car, shouting that it was no use go on as she had his number, but he continued with greater speed. Nearby residents ran to the assistance of Miss DEANE and the police of the Fourth Precinct Station were notified, who in turn notified the sheriff's office. Miss DEANE was taken back to the LASCHANDE cottage and Dr. J. H. SULLIVAN, of Charlotte, was called. After being treated, she was left at the cottage.

Death had no terrors to her, for she regarded it as the portal to bliss. She asked no bitter tears, no mournful regrets from her friends, for her prospect was glorious, her inheritance sure. The funeral services were held at the house of her father and were witnessed by a large and attentive concourse of friends. + + THE NEW YORK CRYSTAL PLACE.

Republic Advocate Batavia, Genesee Co., NY November 2 1852 DIED. At Lyme, Conn., on the 19th ult., Mary L., only daughter of Charles W. WAITE, in the 22d year of her age. In Bethany, on the 27th ult., Lodowick CHAMPLIN, Jr., only son of Lodowick CHAMPLIN, aged 25 years. The deceased was a most estimable young man, beloved by all who knew him, and the loss to his friends and community is irreparable. In his early death, the fond hopes of his doating parents are blighted, and they will go down to the grave mourning the loss of one who they hoped would have been their stay and comforter during their declining years. But the ways of Providence are mysterious and past finding out. And he who has thus snatched a beloved child from their embrace, will by his grace enable them to bear up under this most heart-rending bereavement. + + NEWS BY TELEGRAPH, &C. New York, Oct. 38--3 P.M. Boston, Oct. 29--Everything is hushed and quiet here. Nearly every building is heavily and tastefully draped, excelling anything before attempted in this city. Stores are closed and business is suspended, while several of the theatres announce no performance for this evening. The cars and boat for for Marshfield this morning are crowded to overflowing. Special trains are also sent. The Merchants' Exchange and news room are decorated in a beautiful manner. At the further extremity is a canopy formed of the American flag; in black and white cambric, enshrined in the canopy, is one of the most life-like and noble looking busts of the great statement[sic]. The passage-way leading to the Postoffice, the basement leading to the Exchange and corridors above, the grand staircase leading to the news room, present a beautiful, yet mournful appearance. From the flag staff over the cupola are hoisted at half mast four small ensigns, and drapery of black and white cambric arranged in a most tasteful manner. The room of the WEBSTER Club and Art Union Hall are likewise arranged in beautiful style. At the end of the Hall is a fine picture of Mr. WEBSTER, decorated in mourning. One of the most interesting features was the opening of Mr. WEBSTER's family tomb, for the deposit of his remains. It was the first time that it had been disturbed since the erection. It was opened in the presence of Mr. I.W. PAGE, John JAY, Geo. I. ABBOTT, T. LEARRY, formerly of New York, and some half a dozen others, relatives and friends of the family. It was an occasion of much solemnity and impressiveness.

Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union May 14, 1918 FUNERAL OF MAN KILLED IN ALABAMA Funeral services for Hans HOLMES, a soldier, who was shot dead in Alabama City, Ala., May 3, were held yesterday from 301 Alexander Street. Members of the New York Guard acted as bearers. Interment was in Mt. Hope Cemetery. HOLMES is survived by one sister and four brothers in this city, Lulu, Walter, Andrew, Edward and Robert HOLMES, of 20 Paul Street. Hans HOLMES had made his home in Hoboken, N. J., until as a member of the New Jersey National Guard, he was mustered into the Federal service. He had previously been in the service on the Mexican border. Walter WASHAM, acting chief of police of Alabama City, is held accountable for the shooting. The following account of the affair is given in the Hudson, N. J., Observer: "According to the statements which have so far been made, WASHAM, accompanied by Policeman George HARRIS, went to the home of Mrs. Daniel POWELL, of Alabama City, on Friday afternoon. A few minutes later WASHAM had shot HOLMES, who was at the POWELL house at that time. "According to the story told by Mrs. POWELL, HOLMES and FERRARO went to her home in mid-afternoon and asked permission to wash up. They then asked if she could give them something to eat, and she went out to get food to cook for them. When she came back she found that WASHAM had been there, and had shot HOLMES. WASHAM, she said, told her that the soldiers had no business there and that she should not have agreed to get supper for them. "Feeling is running so high in Gadsen and Alabama counties that Probate Judge HERZBERG, who had freed WASHAM under a bond of $1,000 bail, determined that the officer's personal safety was endangered and ordered him jailed." **** ROCHESTER MEN AT GENERAL ASSEMBLY Among those who will attend the meetings of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Columbus, Ohio, beginning Thursday, are the Rev. C. Waldo CHERRY, pastor of Central Church, who will go as the alternate of the Rev. George H. FICKES, of Dewey Avenue Church; the Rev. Frank HILL, of Victor, and the Rev. Oscar D. BROWNBACK, of Honeoye Falls. Among the elders are William B. GALLUP and James McTARNIHAN, of Ossian. The latter will go as the alternate for Robert S. PAVIOUR, of St. Peter's Church. **** BODY OF MAN FOUND IN RIVER The body of a man believed to be James DOUGHERTY, a printer, who formerly lived at 118 Bronson Avenue, was found in the river near the Weighlock about 11 o'clock this morning. The remains had been in the water sometime and were badly decomposed. Coroner KILLIP was notified and ordered the body removed to the morgue. DOUGHERTY had been missing for about three weeks. **** SMALL BOY IS CHARGED WITH FEDERAL OFFENSE Arrested by federal officers and taken before United States Commissioner E. C. SMITH, a 12- year-old boy was accused of taking coal from a car in interstate shipment, a violation of a federal statute. The cars were in the yards of the Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad, at Lincoln Park. Uncle Sam has no children's court so the child, Peter HEIDE, Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter HEIDE, of 21 Grover Street, had to go through the same procedure as any adult charged with an offense against the government. Commissioner SMITH was evidently not much impressed with the wisdom of arresting a youth of such tender years, and paroled the child in custody of his parents, adjourning the case until Thursday. The railroad company has been complaining that boys steal coal and sell it. Commissioner SMITH has referred the case to Richard S. REDFERN, superintendent of the Rochester Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. **** AUTOISTS TAKEN BEFORE JUSTICES E. J. BOLAND, of Lyndonville, and Charles SCOTT, of Wheatland, were held for the Grand Jury by Justice of the Peace MILLER, of Greece, after a hearing yesterday afternoon, on charges of recklessly driving an auto while intoxicated. Both pleaded not guilty. They were driving the car which ran into an auto driven by Walter F. TODD, of 23 St. Clair Street, early Sunday morning. Justice BUYCK, of Irondequoit, adjourned the case of Clarence KNITTER, of 41 Coleman Terrace, charged with reckless driving, after a hearing yesterday afternoon, until next Monday. KNITTER'S machine collided with one driven by Norris ETTS. Mrs. ETTS suffered a broken leg. Anthony CAPITANO was fined $20 by Justice BUYCK for overloading his automobile.
