Richard CASTLE 12 years old, son of John Castle,
living
on Dry Brook, Delaware county, was killed at that place
on the 2d inst by a rolling log while assisting his father
in drawing logs.
Harvey MYERS, a prominent lawyer of Covington,
Kentucky, who was brutally murdered by Col. W. G.
TERRILL, of that city, on account of questions asked by
the former in a divorce suit in which he was employed
against Terrill, was a former resident of Chenango county.
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.

held for three years, and in 1855 he was elected County
Judge. After a trial of four years in this highly responsible
office, he was re-elected in 1859 and continued to discharge
its duties until the close of December, 1863, a period of
eight years. In these responsible positions, all bore
witness to his entire capacity, and every one conceded
his eminent ability and integrity. [do not know if there's more]

A Man Drowned. 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.

7/3/1874
A coroner's inquest was held on the body of Mrs.
larissa
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. -

10/2/1874 > A Remarkable Gathering-An old Otsego County Family
(From the Buffalo Commercial).
There is a gathering at the residence of Mr. Cyrus DeFOREST
in this city, a family reunion such as, we believe, has few
parallels. It consists of the 5 sons and 3 daughters of
Gideon DeFOREST and wife, all born in Edmeston, Otsego
county, the youngest of which is now sixty-one years old,
the eldest being seventy-nine. Their family circle has
never been broken, except by the accidental death of a son
two years ago, and this meeting of all its members, whose
homes are in various parts of the country, some living in
Wisconsin, some on Staten Island, and the others widely
scattered, seems quite remarkable.
The names of this family, given in the order of the ages,
are as follows, Abel Birdsey DeForest, born December 30,
1795; Lee DeForest, born August 7, 1798, Sally DeForest
CAMPBELL, Cyrus Hawley DeForest, Maria DeForest SNYDER,
Charles Augustus DeForest, Tracy Rob DeForest and Harriet
DeForest FULLER, the youngest born July 28, 1813. The
father and mother of the family moved from Connecticut
and settled in Otsego county when it was a perfectly
uninhabited wilderness and there the family was reared, the
primitive mode of their living doing much to give them their
robust constitutions and thus prolong their lives. The father
died in 1840 and the mother in 1844.
Fourteen years ago a reunion of this same family took
place at the residence of Lee DeForest, who then lived on
part of the old farm in Edmeston. [Incomplete]

10/30/1874 > Obituary.-Jared GOODYEAR.-
This community was startled, on Saturday morning last,
at the announcement of the very sudden death of Mr. Jared
Goodyear, of Colliers. He was to all appearances as well
as usual in the morning, and had gone to his mill as was his
custom. About 11 o'clock he was seized with an attack of
heart disease, to which he had been subject for many years.
He was in the act of giving some direction to one of the
workmen and spoke but once after the attack, saying,
"catch me," and expired at once.
Mr. Goodyear was born in New Haven, Connecticut, July
20th, 1792, and was consequently over 82 years old. His
father emigrated to the town of Locke, Cayuga county, and
became a neighbor of the father of Milliard FILLMORE.
Here young Goodyear and young Fillmore commenced their
education in one of the few log school houses then found
in that pioneer neighborhood. Both these families lost
their farm through failure of the title. The senior Goodyear,
with an ox team, moved his family and settled on what was
then to be the great thoroughfare between Albany and
Buffalo, about 14 miles west of Albany. He was the oldest
of a family of six children and early learned that he was to
aid in the business of getting a living. When only thirteen
or fourteen years of age he carried on a small store, the
goods being furnished by a merchant at Albany, and he
selling them on commission. Subsequently his father
purchased a farm at or near Lawyersville, where he carried
on the business of farming and merchandising. Here they
were again injured financially, by a fire which destroyed their
saw mill. In 1822 Jared married Ann Eliza, the only child
of Peter COLLIER, and he was the first Postmaster at
Colliersville, an office which he continued to hold for thirty-five
years. Within a year, he received information that he had
overpaid his account, and there was a balance due him from
the department, and in due time he received a check for $25,
he having given one half for collecting-the whole amount
being $50-showing that Mr. Goodyear was one of the old
time officials who did not rob the government. He was
Supervisor of his town for several years, and was at one
time Vice President of the A. & S. Railroad. He in fact saved
the road by his vote at one time , and was the back bone
of the project; so that the people of Susquehanna Valley are
under lasting obligations to Mr. Goodyear for some of the
greatest improvements they have ever had. It is said that he
was never known to oppose the poor; but had greatly aided
many young men in the commencement of their career.
The funeral took place on Monday, from the residence of
the deceased and was attended by a very large number of
people. Among those present were many of the old and
present directors of the A. & S. Railroad company.
Superintendent Morse provided a special train free from
Oneonta to Colliers and a large number of our citizens availed
themselves of the opportunity of paying their last respects
to the memory of the deceased.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. H. Allen,
of the Presbyterian church. The singing was performed [by]
Misses Gates and Beach and Messers. Emmons and
Brownson of this village.
The text of the sermon was one chosen by the deceased
sometime previous to his death. It was from Ecclesiastes
XII-13. "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter;
Fear God and keep his commandments; for this is the
whole duty of man."
From this text Mr. Allen preached an extemporaneous
sermon, which is spoken of as one of his very best efforts,
appropriate to the occasion and to his subject. At the
close of the regular services, Hon. J. H. Ramsey, of Albany,
and Col. W. W. Snow, of Oneonta, made appropriate remarks,
as friends, and for many years intimate associates of the
deceased. We are informed that Mr. Goodyear has
particularly requested that any obituary of him should state
that he was a lifelong Democrat of the school of Jefferson
and Jackson and we comply with that request.
Sidney Herald:
Over two hundred guests were present at the tin wedding
of Mr. and Mrs. George A. STEVENS, at Stamford, on the
evening of Oct. 12th. Annie Judson contributed a poem
for the occasion. The presents were 215 in number.
James BURT, a colored man, about fifty years of age,
employed as a porter at the Sullivan House, in Afton, was
found dead in his bed on Thursday morning. An inquest
was held and a verdict rendered that he came to his death
from the excessive use of intoxicating liquors. Talley another
for whiskey.
The mail train going east on the Midland road, on
Thursday of last week, struck an ox team crossing the
tracks near Liberty, and the driver was instantly killed, the
cattle converted into jerked beef, and the load of lumber
made kindling wood The driver-an old man-had but a
moment before been cautioned against attempting to
cross the track as the train was due, but persisted in
his determination, and death was the result.
