Rochester, Monroe, NY Times Union May 14, 1918 Touches High Voltage Wire; Is Near Death Patrick POWERS, aged 25 years, of 285 Plymouth Avenue South, is lying near death in St. Mary's Hospital as a result of coming in contact with a trolley wire over a coach of the Erie Railroads last night. POWERS is employed by the Wells-Fargo Company as a messenger. He arrived in Rochester on the 6:05 train last night and was about the train shed of the Erie Railroad with other employes. Some of the other men tossed a hat about the shed and POWERS is said to have taken the cap of Everett HETZEL, aged 16 years, of 28 Myrtle Street, and tossed it on an Erie Coach. POWERS climbed up on the coach and after getting the cap returned it to its owner. Not thinking of the overhead wires he rose up and his head came in contact with a high powered wire carrying, it is said, 11,000 volts. POWERS screamed as his head touched the wire. Flames shot from his body and he was hurled into the air and landed on a truckload of boxes with such force that he rebounded and fell to the ground. The current was so powerful that his clothing was burned completely from his left side, the cap he held in his hands was scorched and the hair burned from his head. **** <snip> didn't get the beginning second class; William H.

The Governor, to keep his hand in, has vetoed the Brooklyn charter. Kentucky will have the offices in this Congress. No Ohioan need apply. TILDEN Democracy is happy as a new boy with a penny whistle, over RANDALL's election. How kind to the men who elected him--President HAYES has authorized Mr. DAWES to assure Republicans that he will stand by them. During his absence in Congress, General HAWLEY announces that he will not be responsible for the utterances of the Hartford "Courant", which paper he has hitherto controlled. The Cayuga Lake road is being dug out between Ithaca and Aurora. It will soon be in running order. Uncle Sammy knew how to bring about peace in the Democratic camp. But how about the Greenbackers, who wield the balance of power? Has anyone carried the news of RANDALL's election to Senator WALLACE, and what says he about it?

Chemung Co., NY Elmira Daily Advertiser Thursday, March 20, 1879 FRIENDSHIP FOTOGRAPHED(sic) A Few Pleasnat Items from Our Old Time Correspondent Friendship, March 17, 1879 Maple sweets are in the market at reasonable prices. The season promises well, and the quality is annually improving, and the demand also. Friendship has recently lost by death three prominent citizens, Messrs. G. W. ROBINSON, Abel HOXLEY, and Calvin CROSS, solid men, who tried by perhaps the best test--an honorable and prosperous business career -- were not found wanting. The old firm of PRICES & BRADLEY is virtually dissolved, the ready-made clothing and shoe business being assigned, under the new order, to Mr. BRADLEY, while three senior member, J. O. PRICE, deals entirely in dry goods. Both gentlemen carry large stocks from which the most exacting customer can be suited. F. W. BEERS & Co.'s agents are busy in this vicinity procuring matter for their History of Allegany County. This work is to eclipse all its predecessors, and is to be so thorough as to render attempts of the kind superfluous for many years to come. If the local correspondent had been born earlier the history would be both more complete and entertaining. Chas. L. LANE, jeweler, who occupies part of A. B. BRADLEY's elegant store, has finally enlarged his business so that it is a real treat to visit his establishment, simply to admire the elegant jewelry, silverware and watches that he displays. As he is yet young enough to be a favorite with the fair sex, and has built up a first class business in a few years, his success is due to enterprise, liberality and industry, which it gives me pleasure to bring to public notice. Erie train 12, of to-day, March 17th, Conductor PATTENGILL, was thrown from the track, one and a half miles west of Friendship, by a broken journal under the tender truck. Both tender and express car went off. With the aid of a wrecking train the road was cleared and the train proceeded, after a detention of four hours. No one hurt. The air brake has again proved its claim to be one of the most efficient contrivances of recent times for promoting the safety of passenger trains. Train 3 of last Thursday deposited, at this station, an elderly lady who left Chicago the previous, Monday, intending to come to Friendship by the most direct route. Having a ticket to New York she did not discover that she had passed this place until she arrived at Jersey City. Having received filial (sic) injunction at starting, not to leave the cars until she got here, unless it was to change, she adhered to it so literally as to take an extra ride of 746 miles, and to her credit, she was not in the least disconcerted by her mishap, but seemed to relish the absurdity of the thing as much as we did. There is a gentleman in this village now aged 72, who had, while in middle life, his right leg broken four times, once by the surgeon to file off the broken ends of the bones, to facilitate re-union, without success so that in walking they slip by each other: the clavicle broken once, and several ribs fractured at another time: and yet he successfully managed a farm, and is still able to workout his road tax. Were not for paroxysms of asthma, from which he has suffered cruelly for years, it would be in order to put him against some of our idle, yet boastful young men, in a walking match, with the odds in betting much in his favor. FRENCH. PERSONAL George MACDONALD is in Italy. What's up?--Mrs. JENKS coquetting about President HAYES. Everyday is for TILDEN--just to see how badly the old man can be beaten. The Brooklyn "EAGLE" is so anomalous as to say the coming man in pedestrianism is a woman. Dr. WIETING, of Syracuse, again has blood in his eye. He will contest HISCOCK's place in Congress. The Baltimore tragedy has ended in death. A Miss JAMES, who was seduced and defended by her brother in a pistol set to with her seducer, a young man by the name of HINDS, has just died in puerperal convulsions. After the encounter with young JAMES, HINDS went off West. A young and beautiful Neapolitan girl is charged with having carried on a daring and ingenious systems of swindling. It is stated that the young lady, whose name is ROSA delPRETE, has been in the habit of "making up" as an old beggar woman, and in this guise collecting alms in the public streets. She has got so much money in this way as to enable her to live and dress in the most luxurious style, and has actually, it is said, been accustomed to receive at her elegant saloon, in the evening, the very persons from whom she had begged in the morning. Discoveryhas, however, overtaken her, and she is now in the clutches of the law. submitted by Pat Wainwright

ROCHESTER, Monroe, NY Times Union May 13, 1918 THREE AUTO ACCIDENTS AT GENESEO Geneseo, May 13 - No less than three auto accidents occurred in and about Geneseo Saturday and Sunday, any one of which might easily have been fatal. The first one was Saturday afternoon when four Castile residents, Joe JACOBSON, Stanley MLYNICE, Andrew CYGAN and Joseph GUGULA, traveling 40 miles an hour in a new automobile, somehow let their machine get out of control, though no other cars were close by, and after turning a somersault made a second half turn and landed with the frame of the machine at a little more than a right angle with the state road, caving in the upper part of the radiator and damaging the top of the machine. The men were badly cut. The five quarts of whisky in the machine were taken charge of by the sheriff, also the occupants of the car when they were through with the physician. They will have to answer to the charge of bringing intoxicants through "dry" territory. Suspecting that the four were not the only parties from Wyoming County sojourning in Avon, Sheriff O'LEARY threw out a cordon of constables to intercept them, the officers comprising Deputies MANN, VANALLEN, CAREY, SEITH and HARRIS. Three other booze-laden cars were stopped, containing the following Perry residents: Broneslau KEIDEL, Mike BYNESS, John MYSSNEAK, John SMITH, Casmar KEIDEL, Harry ADAMS, George RUPER, Shirley SHORT, William McCANN and Allie ECKERT. The four occupants of the damaged car have already been released on $500 bail each and several of the occupants of the other cars have been released on similar bail or soon will be. The other automobiles first, referred to as having met with accidents were damaged Sunday, but not as a result of intoxicants. One of them happened when two foreigners driving new cars in opposite directions wrecked them in a head-on collision at Cuylerville <snip> didn't get the rest. **** ACCIDENTLY SHOOTS CHILD Auburn, May 13 - Leah FEARING, aged 13, was accidently shot by her father, Charles N. FEARING, while examining a revolver in the kitchen of their home, 54 ½ Fulton Street, yesterday afternoon. The same bullet which struck the child went through his finger. The child was taken to the Auburn City Hospital where it was found the bullet had entered her right cheek, knocking out two teeth, passing under her tongue and shattered the lower jaw bone. The child is expected to recover. Charles FEARING, Jr., aged 18, brother of the girl, is a member of Company K, Second Provisional Regiment of the State Guard, on duty at Watertown guarding the munition plant of the new York Airbrake Company. He arrived home yesterday on a furlough and brought the gun, a 32-caliber automatic, with him. The father had picked up the gun to examine it. **** Williamson Grange Hall Now An Armory Williamson, May 13 - Williamson has taken on a more war-like attitude because of the designation of Grange Hall in this village as an armory. It will be occupied by the Williamson Platoon of the New York Guards. Shipments of uniforms are arriving and as soon as full equipment is received Lieut. L. L. FULLER will commence a campaign to bring the company up to its full quota. **** JUST PASSED HIS 96th BIRTHDAY (Photo of Stephen Rauber) Dansville , May 13 - Stephen RAUBER is Dansville's oldest resident. He celebrated his 96thbirthday on May 1, as told at that time in the Times-Union. **** Rochester Woman Dies Suddenly Honeoye Falls, May 11 - An inquest was held at the undertaking rooms of E. G. Brooks at 10 o'clock this morning to determine the cause of death of Miss Wilhelmina VOSBURG, who was found dead in bed at the home of Mrs. GOODBERLET, on the DIXON farm, one mile south of West Bloomfield, yesterday morning. Coroner Harry M. SMITH rendered a verdict of death from heart failure. Miss VOSBURG'S sister died one week ago and she had come to visit Mrs. GOODBERLET to recuperate from the shock. Her home was at 25 Arnett street, Rochester. **** Have Been Married 67 Years Dundee, May 13 - On Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. William MORRISON, of this village, celebrated the 67th anniversary of their marriage at their home in Union Street. Mr. MORRISON was born at Rahway, N. J., and is now 91 years of age. Mrs. MORRISON was born in England. They were married on May 11, 1851, in the city of New York and, so far as is known, are the oldest living married couple in this village or anywhere in this vicinity. They resided in New York City until 1859, when they moved to Rock Stream, in the southern part of this township, where they lived for three years. They have resided in this village since 1872 and for many years prior to about three years ago, Mr. MORRISON was employed by the village of Dundee, having charge of the cleaning of the sidewalks and streets. He is now retired from active labor. Mrs MORRISON retains her physical strength to a remarkable degree. In spite of her 86 years; she still does all the work about her home and keeps one or two boarders. Although so advanced in years, both Mr. and Mrs. MORRISON still retain all their faculties and apparently enjoy life as much as ever. **** Find ALL of the News Abstracts for Monroe Co., NY at http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/NY/Monroe/index.html -- GjS

Carthage, Jefferson Co, NY printed in The Carthage Republican, Thursday, April 21, 1921 TRIBUTE TO JAMES McDONALD Funeral Largely Attended - Floral Offerings Cover Casket - Death Due to Accident - No Evidence of Foul Play The funeral of James McDONALD, whose death occurred last Wednesday as the result of wounds sustained in a fall at the Champion Paper mill, was held Saturday morning from St. James church. The funeral was largely attended by surviving relatives and friends and by more than one hundred members of Carthage Council, K. of C. who attended in a body. The casket, bearing the remains, was literally covered with beautiful floral offerings as a tribute of love and high esteem in which the deceased was held by all who knew him. Interment was made in St. James cemetery. No evidence developed either before or since the autopsy to show that Mr. McDONALD had been a victim of foul play. He was a man highly respected and well liked by all who knew him. Although the exact cause of the accident in which he sustained serious scalp wounds has not been determined it is firmly believed that Mr. McDONALD either fainted or suffered a slight shock which caused him to fall heavily to the cement floor or to strike his head against some projective. Funeral of Miss Maude GATES to be held Thursday The remains of Miss Maude E. GATES, who died at Los Angeles, California, Saturday, April 9th, arrived in Carthage at 6 Monday night and were taken to the undertaking parlors of Walsh & Perry and later removed to the home of her father in Madison St. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2 from the Congregational church. Rev. D. D. WAUGH of the Church of the Redeemer, Watertown, will officiate. Burial will be made in Fairview cemetery. Infant Daughter Dies Elizabeth, one of the twin daughters born to Mr. and Mrs. Charles SMITH on Wednesday, died Thursday night. Burial was made Friday in Fairview cemetery. transcribed by Sheila Lofft Strickland

Carthage, Jefferson Co, NY printed in The Carthage Republican, Thursday, April 14, 1921 JAMES McDONALD DIES Employee of Champion Paper Mill Who Sustained Scalp Wounds in Mysterious Manner Fails To Regain Consciousness James McDONALD, aged 52 years, a grindsman in the employ of the Champion Paper Co., who sustained injuries of a mysterious nature, Saturday morning, died at 1 o'clock on Wednesday at his home, after being unconscious during all of the time since he was injured. On Tuesday he took a small quantity of water as nourishment. Complete mystery veils the manner in which McDONALD met his injuries and it cannot be learned whether he was struck from behind by an unknown assailant or whether he incurred his wound by accident. Found lying unconscious on the concrete floor of the grinding room of the mill at 10 o'clock with the right side of his head crushed in and bleeding profusely, medical aid was at once summoned by fellow employees. Dr. C. F. ADAMS and Dr. C. J. HULL arriving at the scene found that the man was suffering from concussion of the brain and ordered the injured man to be taken to his home in Jefferson street. There were no eye witnesses to the accident and employees of the mill are unable to explain how McDONALD's injuries were incurred. Machinery in the grinding room upon investigation was found in proper order, which has led to the belief that McDONALD may have been attacked from behind and that his injuries may be result of a blow from some weapon in the hands of an assailant. As far as can be learned MacDONALD had no enemies. He is well known in the village and for a number of years was in the employ of the Champion Paper Co. McDONALD is a married man and has several children.

Carthage is Now Dry Carthage has taken a step toward staying the spread of the epidemic that has so far taken an average toll of four deaths a day for two weeks. Monday night the village board met in special session and decided to close all bars, soda fountains and to forbid all social gatherings. No lounging will be allowed in cigar stores or pool rooms until after the disease has gone. Schools and churches have been closed two weeks and this step it is believed will be acceptable and worth while. There are no saloons but hotels have bars in this village. Ring Off and Stay Off To try to get the doctor in a hurry over a party telephone line and find that it has been rented for the afternoon for conversational purposes, is very annoying, to say the least. Exchange of dill pickle recipes and social pleasantries by the hour is not longer looked upon as wholly patriotic and persons who have nothing else to do should take a hoe and get busy in the potato patch. transcribed by Sheila Lofft Strickland
