Jones, died Wednesday forenoon at the Albany City hospital, from an attack of influenza and pneumonia. He had been with the Home Guards in Albany for some months, and the first notification of his illness was a telegram received Friday afternoon, stating that he was critically ill. A letter had been received from him a few days previous, at which time he was apparently well. His mother left on the evening train north, and managed to reach Albany about 5 the next morning. He was unconscious at that time, and remained in that condition until his death. Arvon was a pleasant, intelligent lad, who enlisted in the Home Guard because it was the only method by which he could partially satisfy his yearning to be in the service of his country. he had an intense desire to see foreign service, which he years, he was but eighteen, forbade. Besides his parents he is survived by two brothers, Llewelyn and William, both of Granville .

Would anyone know if any records exist relative to the D&H Railroad in 1918 ? I am looking for information on my gr grandfather, Dennis McLaughlin, who was their flagman until his death in 1918. I am trying to learn where in Ireland he came from and was hopeful that federal employment records might shed some light on that. I do know that this railway was sold to Canadian Pacific and alot of old records were burnt in a fire in 1991. At least 2 of Dennis's sons also worked on the same railroad, James in Whitehall and Mike in Watervliet. Dennis lived in Granville and Middle Granville w his wife Margaret Alice Shaughnessy McLaughlin. We estimate he came over in the 1880's. Anne Baldwin

Y., May 9.--The Durkin boys are still at liberty and terrorizing this locality. On Friday last they entered a house at North Argyle and while the woman was making bread sat down with drawn bowie knife until the bread was baked, and then taking three or four loaves departed. That same evening the son of James McDougal was driving along the road, when they commanded him to stop, which he did. They then commanded him to get out of the wagon, as they said they wanted the vehicle, but instead of doing that he whipped his horse and started away. They then fired at him twice, one ball going through his hat, grazing the top of his head, and the other went through his clothes near his shoulder, but not hurting him. There is a talk of lynching them if captured.
