Sandy - Bless you for the time and effort you have expended to provide VR's for those on the list. This is only one of the many efforts that you have taclked that have been "over and above" for the descendants of Otsego County and we take our hats off to you! ... Now I wonder how many listers with 6 Otsego pioneer ancestors before 1800 can boast that they never have had any births, mariages or deaths in their family! [Sorry, it's been one of those days]!! Keep it up Sandy. Ed Colburn

7/3/1874 > A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Mrs. Clarissa HILL, who died at Burdick settlement, in the town of Lincklaen, on the 3d ult. Deceased was a lady 69 years of age, and died under circumstances that led to the suspicion that she had been poisoned by her step-daughter. No traces of poison were to be found. > Mrs. Clara SANFORD, living with her son-in-law near Dean's Corners, Del. Co., committed suicide on the night of the 23d ult. She retired with the family, evidently in good spirits. Not appearing at breakfast in the morning search was made, and she was found hanging in the kitchen chamber. Deceased was sixty-five years old, and highly respected in that community. No cause can be assigned for the suicide. > On Wednesday, (24th ult.), about eleven o'clock, report came that Christopher KELTENBACK, of Roxbury, had committed suicide by hanging. He had been a cripple for over ten years, and had been cared for by his brother Frederick. This was the day appointed for the wedding of one of Frederick's daughters, who had taken all the care of him during his sickness. He had often said to her, "When you go, I am going too." One of the girls was sent to tell their uncle to come in and see the wedding; she soon returned with the news that he was hanging by a rope in the barn. After his body had been taken to the house, and the wedding ceremonies performed, Coroner Street was at once notified, who held an inquest in the evening, and the jury decided that "Deceased came to his death by hanging." Deceased was about seventy years of age. - Andes Recorder. MARRIED. > In Oneonta, June 27th, by Rev. G. R.

The people of West Oneonta were startled on Sunday morning last, by the announcement that Daniel BEMUS, a young man twenty three years of age, employed in the railroad shops of this place, had been drowned while bathing in a small branch of the Otego creek, near Culver's pond. Two or three companions were with him at the time, and from their statements we learn the following facts. Before going into the water, which was about 14 feet deep, Bemus informed them that he was going to touch bottom. He then dove into the deepest part of the hole, and never came up. Help was at once summoned, but the water was muddy, and it was between two and three hours before the body would be found. He was a married man, and leaves a wife and one child.

I am looking for desc. of the John Harris family who resided in Laurens on the 1850 census. John was 45 and born in England. Listed with him was were 10 children: John J. age 25 Elizabeth age 23 (believed to be the wife of Jacob FARRINGTON of Oneonta) Hannah age 21 Mary A. age 19 George age 17 CAROLINE J. age 12 (could this be the CARRIE J. PARIS b ca 1839 of Oneonta who m. Charles SIGNOR of Homer? A Carrie SIGNOR was residing with Jacob and Elizabeth FARRINGTON in 1870 Oneonta.) Sarah age 9 William H. age 7 Frances C. age 4 (may be the Frances Harris who married George Harris of Gilbertsville in 1863) J. H. age 1 (believed to be the Jay H. Harris who married Myra E. BIXBY in 1870) I would like to know if Caroline "Carrie" Harris Signor remarried or if she died before 1880. I find no other information about her after 1870. Perhaps a descendant of another sibling might have some knowledge of her. Any comments, advice or information will be appreciated. Mary

I seek information on the following family, possibly from Otsego County NY: Father: Reuben IRONS Mother: Dorcas _____ Children: Levi Emer James Stephen Orlando Reuben John F (b. 1811 - d. 1854 Cazenovia NY)...... m.

The Union gives the following brief sketch of his career: "Mr. Myers was born in Bainbridge, in this county, in 1828. His parents were poor, and he had but few advantages in early life, his education being such as the common schools of his native town afforded. He moved to Kentucky in 1851, and taught school for a short time, meanwhile pursuing the study of law. In 1858 he entered a law office in Covington, and was admitted to practice in 1854. As a lawyer he was one of the most prominent in the State of Kentucky, having a large practice in the Court of Appeals and in the U. S. Courts. He frequently acted as Judge pro tem in the Circuit Court, when cases were before that tribunal in which the Judge of the Court was interested. He was elected to the State Legislature in 1865, but declined to serve, on the ground that the election was not a free one but that the voters were under the coercion of Federal bayonets. In 1872 he ran for Congress on the Republican ticket, and was defeated by Judge Arthur. In business he was successful, having amassed a considerable estate from a large and remunerative practice, estimated at $65,000. He leaves a wife and six young children.
