SAD DROWNING ACCIDENT.

A large number of sympathizing friends and neighbors rallied and became enlisted in a search, which was unsuccessfully continued all night.

Mourn not Cora, she is gone
To realms of light and love,
A Saviour kindly took her home
To dwell with him above.

The little lamb is safely o’er
That mountain dread and drear,
And you may safely tread the path
And have no cause for fear.

The path is not so difficult
That little Cora trod,
Then only think it terminates
In the dwelling place of God.

Ah well the little shepherdess
Knew the flock would come,
When they saw the lamb deposited
In so secure a home.

And through she ne’er can come to you
You both can go to her,
Our father’s willing to receive
And will not e’en demur.

Then raise your heads and smiling think
Your Cora rests in Heaven,
And of a Saviour’s love partakes
That boon to sinners given.

LOUISE L. STOCKTON MANN (9 Aug 1856 - 6 Feb 1897)

Newspaper: Orleans Republican, 17 Feb 1897
Surnames: MANN, HORNER, STOCKTON

Carlton Station. On February 6, 1897, Mrs. Louise L. MANN fell asleep in Jesus. She was born in Albion August 9, 1856. When at the age of seven she, with her parents, moved to this place, so with the exception of a few years her life has been spent in this neighborhood.  She was married in 1875 to Fred MANN. Although a great sufferer through her long and trying illness she bore it all with Christian meekness and resignation, and only a few days before her death, when she could scarcely speak, she said "I am almost home."

She leaves two children, Clayton W. and Annabel L., who with her husband deeply mourn her loss. Her husband will miss a devoted wife, her children a tender patient mother and wise counselor. The welfare of her family was ever her study, to lead them in the paths of sobriety and truth. But her little daughter was ever the burden of her prayers, that she might be given strength to endure the trials to come. Her son she knew had other ties, wife and baby, and the blow would not perhaps fall on him quite so heavily. She also leaves four brothers and a sister to mourn her loss - Henry and Silas of Albion, Albert and John STOCKTON of Carlton and Mrs. Nettie HORNER of Waterport, but they sorrow not as those without hope, for they feel that she is now at rest.

She was converted under and baptized by Rev. F.E. King and had since lived a consistent Christian life. She was ever grateful to the many friends who cheered her with letters of sympathy and deeds of loving kindness, and often during her sickness she would say, "Oh! every one is so kind to me." Rev. F.E. King and Rev. P.P. Sowers officiated the funeral.

LEWIS MARSHALL (5 Mar 1806 - 19 Nov 1888)

Newspaper: Medina Tribune, Thurs., 6 Dec 1888
Surnames: MARSHALL, ANGEVINE, SMITH

Died, on Monday night, Nov. 19, 1888, at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. A. K. SMITH, at Jeddo, N. Y., Mr. Lewis MARSHALL, aged eighty-two years. An esteemed and respected citizen, an affectionately cherished father, and a known and honored christian man is gone.

Lewis MARSHALL was born in Dutchess county, in the state of New York, on March 5, 1806. On Oct. 11, 1826, he was united in marriage with S. (Sarah) A. ANGEVINE, daughter of Col. Eli ANGEVINE, a well known and honored citizen of Ridgeway, and an esteemed official member of the Presbyterian church of Medina. Two years later Mr. and Mrs. MARSHALL removed to Palmyra, N. Y., and after a residence of four years at that place the young couple came to Medina and took up their residence on the farm now occupied by one of their sons, and so long associated with the family name. Here the active period of their life was spent. At the time of their coming, but ten acres of the farm had been reclaimed from its native wooded condition. As all are familiar with those pioneer days will well remember, the clearing and cultivating of 130 acres of land, involved no small amount of hardship and of toil. And yet, with faith in God and glad consercration to duty, he and his young wife gave themselves to the work of earning a home, and making provision for the family which was given to them. In later years Mr. Marshall often referred to those days as the happiest period of his life. Here were born to them all but one of their four sons and two daughters; and here, under tender parental watch-care, they grew to manhood and womanhood of such individual worth and character that they greatly comforted their aged father in his declining years.

In 1834 Mr. and Mrs. MARSHALL united with the Presbyterian Church of Medina, in whose fellowship they renamed until their death, Mr. MARSHALL’s membership reaching to the remarkable period of fifty-four years. As a man of christian character and integrity his influence was recognized and felt. With him religion was a matter of every day living, whose principles ruled his heart and guided his life, and his children and grandchildren will long cherish, amid their fondest recollections of him, his beautiful christian old age.

Thank God, none of His servants outlive their usefulness; nor was this aged saint an exception. His thought and conversation were those of the pilgrim who recognizes that earth is not his home, and who longs, when God shall will, to be in the better land. In the last two or three years of his life, so confident was his faith, and so exceeding his anticipation, that he could scarcely wait his appointed season. But at length the days of waiting were over, the long looked for hour was come, and the night of earth dawned into the morning of eternity. In an hour unexpected, the vision immortal opened to him, and with faith lost in sight and prayer transfigured to praise, the anticipations of years were suddenly realized.

One of the most precious treasures left behind him is the family bible. Over its pages he had pondered its living truths for fifty-nine years, as shown by the date of its purchase. From it were read as scripture lessons at his funeral, the 116 Psalm, a part of the fifth chapter of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians, and portions of the description of the new Jerusalem, as found in the 21st and 22nd chapters of Revelation. The text was from the 116th Psalm and the 15th verse: "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints." At the close of the services his four sons and two of his grandsons, with beautiful and fitting appropiations, acted as bearers, and gently laid his beloved form in its last earthly resting place. There the father and mother of many precious recollections rest until the changes of the Rsurrection morn. Words are but feeble things, but long lives lived for God are testimonials not to be measured.

Clarence MAY, aged 28 years, of Edinburg, Saratoga county, committed suicide late Friday afternoon in the barn at the tenement house of the Hiram Reynolds farm on the Bates road. The man had been a fruit hand here for years. Chief of Police Brainard received a telephone call at 7 o'clock and immediately investigated the case. He found the man had gone to a stall in the barn near the Richards house and shot himself with a single barreled shot gun, apparently aiming at the right temple. The coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary. MAY is said to leave a widow and four children. That the desperate act was pre-meditated is proven by the fact that the unfortunate man left several letters including one to his wife.
