John W. Sax
Our correspondence last week contained the sad news of the death of John W.
Sax, of Saxton, at the age of 74 years. Mr. Sax was postmaster at the time of
his death, a position he had filled ever since the office was established at
the place to which he gave his name. He was an energetic and much respected
citizen, a Republican who had the courage of his convictions and his memory
will long be cherished by friends and neighbors in the little hamlet with
whose destinies his name is indissoluble united.

Mrs James Emerick died on Monday at her home on Bridge street, and the
funeral was held at the house on Thursday, the Rev. C. G. Hazard, D.D.,
conducting the service; interment in Jefferson Rural Cemetery. Margaret E.,
daughter of the late John and Eliza Ann (Saxe) Longendyke, was born in The
Embogech on July 31, 1844. At the age of nineteen she married John Post, Jr.,
who died in 1871, leaving her with one little girl. In 1876 the young widow
married James U. Emerick and the family moved into Columbia county. Upon the
death of her husband in 1906 his wife returned to Catskill to make her home
henceforth with her only child, Mrs. Annie Porter. It was a household to which
she gave her utmost love and her devoted care. Of a nature that took no
thought for self, she gave herself freely for others and found her joy in
service. She truly was "a friend of man." No one ever heard from her
an unkindly word, nor one of criticism or censure. She was a faithful member
of the Reformed Church and formerly taught in the Sunday school. It was an
example of her abiding influence that those who had once been of her Sunday
School class, and whom she always called her boys (Richard Kennedy, Charles G.
Coffin, Harold Conklin, Walter Smith, Fred Peloke, Arthur Conklin) came
forward at the time of her death to ask that they might serve as bearers of
her coffin. In her closest affection, next to her own daughter, came that
daughters children and grandchild. When in her last hours, she was told that
her granddaughter and baby son were hastening to her bedside it was by sheer
force of will that she preserved sufficient strength of body and of brain to
welcome them. Then she sank into the stupor from which she was never to rouse.
The esteem that she inspired was evidenced in the constant solicitude and
loving kindness displayed by her neighbors during her illness, only exceeded
by the tender watchfulness and care of her nearest and dearest ones. She is
survived by her one child, Mrs. Annie G. Porter; by a brother, Cornelius
Longendyke of Kingston; one grandson, Joel S. Porter of New York, and a
granddaughter, Mrs. Jay Spear of Cleveland, Ohio, with one great-grandson,
Robert Joel Spear.

A Lamentable Fatality
Just before 4 o’clock Tuesday afternoon, on West Bridge street, nearly
opposite the Cut Glass Works, Leonard, the eight-year-old son of Mr. And Mrs.
Roscoe M. Saxe of the Westside, lost his life by being run over by an
automobile driven by Thos. C. Perry, superintendent of the first school
supervisory district, who lives on Broad Street. Mr. Perry was going up West
Bridge Street, the only object in sight being the village ash-wagon, which was
coming down the hill. Just as the automobile reached the back wheels of the
wagon the lad darted in front of Mr. Perry’s car and was crushed underneath
the machine. Percy Adsit lifted the limp body into the automobile and Mr.
Perry hurried with it to Dr. Branch’s office, where the child expired. At a
hearing held by Coroner Honeyford on Wednesday morning, several witnesses were
examined and their testimony proved beyond a doubt that the accident was
absolutely unavoidable on the part of Mr. Perry. The funeral of the little lad
will be held at his late home this afternoon, the Rev. Mr. Sawin to conduct
the service; interment in Jefferson Rural Cemetery. To the bereaved parents
the loss of their only child seems irreparable, and the sympathy of many
friends is extended in this hour of bereavement (NYS Death Certificate,

VICTIM OF FIRE IN CALIFORNIA
Woman Who Met Death in Burning Hotel Supposed to Be Miss Lura Saxe
ONE OF TOURIST PARTY
Feared Here That Others Injured May Also Be From This City
Yreka, Cal., July 19 - - The depot and hotel adjoining at Sisson, at the
base of Mount Shasta were burned to the ground early today as the result of
the explosion of a lamp. Miss Laura Saxie, a school teacher, who had just
arrived there from New York, was burned to death.
Miss Saxie had come to meet friends and climb Mount Shasta. Several others were badly burned. Miss Saxie had intended to leave the train at Shasta Springs to meet friends, but the conductor, learning that she intended to climb Mount Shasta, told her Sison was the place to stop.
When the fire broke out she attempted to escape from the front porch, but turned back into the house. Her body was found in the debris near the charred remains of her bed. Evidently she ran back to her room and fell in a faint on the bed. The financial loss is $20,000.
At the offices of the Board of Education, Park Avenue and Fifty-ninth street, it was learned that the only teacher with a name resembling that of the young woman who met her death at Mount Shasta is Miss Lura Saxe, of No. 1743 Amsterdam Avenue. Miss Saxe, according to the records, has been a primary grade teacher, attached to Public School No. 18 in the Bronx. She was appointed in 1903.
The educational officials feared that Miss Saxe was the person referred to in the above dispatch. They presumed that she was a member of a large party of New York school teachers who left here for a tour of the West and Pacific Coast several weeks ago. These teachers are all members of the National educational Association under whose auspices the vacation trip was being conducted.
As the dispatch states that several other persons were burned in the fire, it is feared that other New York teachers may be among the injured.

EXAMINER - Sept 30, 1916
Frederick Saxe, for many years a leading citizen in this town, died at his
late home in Kiskatom Wednesday, aged 88 years. Mr. Saxe was the son of
the late John F. Saxe, of Kiskatom. His mother was Miriam Coy of Windham.
In 1803 John F. Saxe, when a boy six years of age, moved with his parents from
Ulster county to Kiskatom and settled on the farm which has since been
continuously occupied by Frederick Saxe. In 1871 Mr. Saxe built the Mountain
View House, which was the first large boarding house in that section. In
addition to conducting a flourishing boarding business, he was also an
extensive farmer. He had one sister, the late Mrs. James Bloom and one
brother, the late Lewis Saxe, both of this town. He was the descendant of the
family of Saxe’s who emigrated to this country from Germany long before the
Revolutionary days. Over 65 years ago Mr. Saxe united with the Kiskatom
Reformed church and was one of its most faithful and honored members. During
many years he served as a deacon and elder, and his wise counsel was
frequently sought. His interest in church work was such that even when a young
man he became known throughout that community as one to whom no task to be
accomplished in its cause was too difficult to complete. He was a Republican
from the formation of the party and long a leader in that part of the town,
where the party was the strongest. For many years he served with credit as
justice of the peace. Mr. Saxe was a man of remarkable vitality and activity,
both of body and mind, for one of his advanced years. Those who knew him will
long remember him as a survivor of the old school; a lover of his home,
devoted to his family, loyal to his friends, sincere and strong in his
convictions, and ever standing for what was right. In the family circle and in
the community he has left an influence for the better things that will survive
for years Deceased is survived by his widow, Betsy Linzey,
daughter of the late George and Sally Overbaugh Linzey, of Kiskatom, one
daughter, Mrs. Herbert W. Lasher, and one son, Washington
J. Saxe, both of Kiskatom. Funeral services will be held from his late
home this afternoon at 1:30 o’clock, the Rev. Sidney O. Lawsing officiating.
Interment in the Jefferson Rural Cemetery.

A Miracle of Grace
The recent death of John L. Saxe lends interest to the following
biographical sketch of his father, which appeared in The Christian
Intelligencer of March 17, 1897, written by the Rev. John F. Mesick,
D. D.:
"Frederick Saxe was born, lived and died in Kiskatom, a hamlet at the foot of the mountains, about 10 miles from the village of Catskill. Before the first mountain house was erected for summer visitors, their summits were covered with the primreview forest, broken only by the murmur of their cascades, the fall of decayed trees, the notes of singing birds and the cry of wild beasts. From boyhood his native daring led him to seek daily encounters with the deer, the wildcat, the wolf, the panther, the bear, and the rattlesnakes which there abounded. With his faithful dog as companion, with his pistol and dirk-knife girded to his body by a leather belt, and with an axe and his trusty gun in his hands, he spent most of his days in hunting these savage animals. He was expert in his warfare on Bruin; not content with setting strong traps to catch him, he assailed him in his cave, he sent a bullet crashing through his skill when he sought refuge in the top of a lofty hemlock or he met him in a square fight on the level ground, not running away from the large, hairy quadruped, foaming with rage to defend her cubs, but with undisturbed coolness laying the dangerous brute in the dust. On long winter evenings, sitting beside his crackling log fire, he would entertain his family and neighbors with the recital of his heroic exploits and his hairbreadth escapes, which had been substantiated beyond all doubt by his bringing home with him the carcasses of scores of bears, and by their recollection of the delicious bear steaks which they had eaten. So often had the rumors of his feats of strength and --- ity been repeated that his fame was --- abroad throughout all that reti ---- was called universally "The Bes ---- "This man was formed by --- training to be a leader, and --- roughness in manners and ---- per that all persons dre ---- conflict with him, lest --- bodily harm.

And today the neat, white, framed edifice, with its tapering spire, attracts the attention of every passing summer visitor to the Catskill Mountain House.
"In due time he was received, April 29, 1825, on confession of his faith, as a member in full communion of the Reformed Church of Leeds, N.Y., then under the pastoral care of the Rev. Isaac N. Wyckoff, D. D. Such confidence was reposed in his piety that he was elected to serve first as deacon and then as elder in the same congregation. Dr. Wyckoff, who knew his gifts, induced him on one occasion at the preparatory service, before the Lord’s Supper, to stand up in the elders seat, which was on one side of the pulpit, and address the congregation, a duty that he performed with such intelligence, unction, tenderness and pathos that the hearers were deeply moved, and there was scarcely a dry eye in the house. No minister of the Gospel could have spoken more to the purpose. A complete transformation of character was wrought in this disciple of Jesus. The lion was changed into a lamb. In social intercourse his face wore a winning smile, his voice was gentle, and his sentiments were marked by humility and meekness."
John L. Saxe, like his father, Frederick, was a mighty hunter, and was commonly known as "Bear John" He knew the mountains as well as any that ever roamed over them. His reminiscences, could they have been collected and preserved, would have furnished valuable and interesting local history and tradition. The writer has heard him relate many of the adventures of his earlier days, before the country was as thickly settled as now, and this section had become a boarding-house community. He told of his hunting wild pigeons where Tannersville now stands, then a forest of immense hemlocks, the pigeons literally filling the air. He was a giant in size and strength, and delighted in roaming the woods in search of game, large or small. During his last illness in delirium he lived his life over again, and his mind was busy with the killing of bears and the felling of trees. He was a member of the Reformed Church and a good citizen which will be greatly missed by his many friends."
