KENYON, died May 15th, 1878, aged eighteen years and twenty-seven days. She was always frail, yet the struggle between life and death was long and her sufferings great. If the untiring attention of loving friends could have lured her back to health, her presence would still enliven the home now made desolate by her departure. She was her mother's comfort and the joy and pride of her father and brothers; and yet one came with a love so pure and strong, that he took foremost place in her affections. But the bride of five short months is taken from his embrace; and early in life he drinks of that bitter cup of whose dregs none know but those who have been called to drain it. The funeral services were attended by Rev. A. J. Cook, at the Baptist church, which was filled with sympathizing friends, and surrounded by the freshness and beauty of this springtime; with tears they laid that precious body away to rest. The years may come and go, and life's duties press heavily upon those left behind, but in their hearts will be a place ever sacred to the memory of the gentle loving one, who has gone from their midst.

In Cooperstown, June 13th, Orra PEABODY, in the 79th year of his age. 6/23/1878 TIMOTHY SABIN. Another of the pioneers of Oneonta has died. During the night of June 24th, the spirit of Timothy Sabin took its flight, just how and at what hour, God only knows. The evening before he was in usual health, and Tuesday morning dead. From the appearance of his features and body when discovered, it was evident that he died without a struggle. His lite went out, yielding to the circumstances of old age and a finished course. Timothy Sabin was born at Pauling, Dutchess co., in 1803, and was consequently 75 years of age. In 1822 he married Willmet VAN DYKE, of Mayfield, in this State. She died May 17, 1827, aged 22 years. February 14th, 1828, he married Harriet MANN, daughter of Daniel Mann, of Franklin. She died June 15, 1865. During his early residence here, and for a few years in Davenport, Mr. Sabin pursued the avocations of farmer, clerk, hotel-keeper and merchant. In 1842 he retired from the mercantile business, and from that date until about 1875, conducted an extensive commission business, his son, Egbert R., being a partner during considerable of the time. Mr. Sabin built the store now owned by George REYNOLDS, and one or two houses. He was more instrumental than any other Oneonta person, excepting only the late E. R. FORD, in promoting the Albany and Susquehanna Railroad project. Although never holding any official connection, his energy, good management and encouragment had much to do with its building. Mr. Sabin was converted under the ministrations of Rev. Augustus LITTLEJOHN, became a member of the Presbyterian church in 1833, and was made an Elder two years later, which position he held until some eighteen months ago, at that time, of choice, becoming merely honorary. In church, Mr. Sabin has been a zealous worker, and as a Christian gentleman, prayerful and constant in religious duties. In the esteem of his neighbors and fellow-townsmen, Timothy Sabin might properly have been regarded our first citizen. During the years of his strength, he was with the first in everything that pertained to the welfare and prosperity of his town. Without a particle of selfishness, he devoted time, work and money to promote public enterprises, and Oneonta is the better and more prosperous because of his living in it. His exalted Christian character, his charity, his kindness, his devotion to all things good, made him a man to be missed by those who cherish Christianity, a high condition of public morality, and good order. His name will ever be associated with the noblest of our dead, and it is strange indeed if there are not those yet living who are endeavoring to emulate his virtues, and are pressing on to a better life because of his example. (Timothy Sabin is buried in Riverside Cem. in Oneonta) 6/28/1878 MARRIED > In Unadilla, at the M. E. parsonage, June 20th, by Rev. J. W. Mevis, James O.
