Submitted by Mike Winner



This is a file of local news articles appearing in the TULLY, N.Y., TIMES issue of May 21, 1910.  This old newspaper was scanned and translated into a searchable computer data base, so that names and events of local interest might be more readily available for genealogists and historians who work with computers.

Surnames and places are for local items of interest only, and include those items appearing in legal notices, local news items, correspondence, classified advertisements, obituaries, and the like. Names, places, and events given in national and international news items or in large block advertisements are not included.

The names and places are exactly as they appear in the newspaper. During the scanning and translation processes, the computer was trained to recognize the typography of the newspaper and many words were questioned and cross-checked for accuracy. A subsequent checking of spelling revealed a number of apparent errors, but, except for a few obvious and very minor typographical errors, no attempt was made to correct apparent misspellings of any word, or to change the editorial style of the paper, such as capitalization or punctuation. A few surnames have variations, such as an “ei - ie” transposition, or a missing “e” at the end of the name. Searches should take into account possible misspellings.

Indexes of surnames and places are provided at the end of the file for a quick reference.

Obituary.

After an illness of several weeks with stomach trouble, George Watson, for the
past fifty-two years a resident of Tully, died at the home of his son, J. G.
Watson, where he had been since the illness of his wife, who, about three
weeks ago, was taken to Dr. Prentice’s Sanitarium in this village, suffering
from a physical break down.

Mr. Watson was born in Paisley, Scotland, July 21, 1823, being one of nine
children, and would, had he lived, been 87 years of age next July.

He came to this country when a young man and married Miss Margaret Stephens,
 

[Photo of George Watson, 1823 - 1910]

who was also of Scotland and born not far from where Mr. Watson was born, he
followed the occupation of a cooper, and lived in Skaneateles, Borodino, and
Philadelphia, finally returning to Tully. Five children were born to them, all
dying in infancy except the son mentioned. In March, 1877, his wife died and
about year afterward Rev. Frederick Devitt united Mr. Watson and Miss Margaret
Fletcher. The marriage was a very happy one. Mr. and Mrs. Watson appearing to
be very much attached to each other, she, although not strong physically,
tenderly caring for him when the infirmities of old age made it needful that
he have the care which a loving wife knows so well how to bestow. Both
thoroughly enjoyed being at the lake during the summer season, where Mrs.
Watson owns a cottage, and many have enjoyed the hospitality of the “Bide-a-
Wee.”

Household and other cares proved too much for Mrs. Watson and recently she was
removed to the sanitarium where she is recovering slowly her strength, and he
coming to stay with his son. He felt keenly the necessity of this change,
visiting the sanitarium while able to do so.

Several times in recent years, and especially last fall, he had serious
attacks of stomach trouble, when his life was despaired of. This trouble and
the infirmities of old age made the recent attack very severe, the physician
holding out but little hope from the first. Sunday morning after receiving
some necessary attention from his son and daughter-in-law and while
preparations for further care were being made his son left him not to exceed
ten minutes, returning, he was found out of bed and on his knees as if in
prayer. Being tenderly lifted to an easy chair prepared for him, it was seen
that the end was near and that the words of the poet were being realized:

“The time of my departure’s come,
I hear the voice that calls me home.
And now, oh, Lord, let troubles cease,
And let thy servant die in peace.”

Mr. Watson was a member of the First Baptist church, Tully, for over fifty
years, previous to that being a member of the Disciple’s church. He was at one
time care-taker at Baptist edifice here, and when the custom was to toll the
bell, giving the age by strokes of the same when a citizen died, Mr. Watson
often performed that service. Being of a retiring disposition he never sought
public office.

Rev, Devltt chose the fifteenth chapter of 1st Corinthians, and spoke on the
“Immortality of the Soul.” dividing his subject into four parts: “The
Existence of God,” “Immortality of the Soul,” “Love of God,” and
“Incarnation.” He spoke of the deceased as a good citizen, good neighbor, a
christian man, and his faith and hope in God as strong.

All of the services were conducted in a simple manner and without display, in
keeping with the wishes of the deceased. The funeral was held from the home of
his son, Tuesday, at 2:30, and burial made by the side of his first wife in
Tully cemetery. Rev. Frederick Devitt, a retired Methodist clergyman, and a
personal friend of the family, officiated, assisted by Rev. F. B. Duvall,
pastor of the Methodist church, and Rev. James Jones, pastor of the Baptist
church, Tully.

Besides those mentioned Mr. Watson leaves a grandson, Ralph B. Watson, a great
granddaughter, Fannie P. Watson, of Oswego, three children of the son
mentioned. Clara, Alice and George Watson, of Tully. The bearers were: J. F.
Ousby, M. E. Baum, O. Woodmansee and Charles Dowding.

Death.

The funeral of Jefferson Davis of LaFayette, 54 years old, was held Tuesday at
2 o’clock at the Presbyterian church. He died at the Onondaga hospital where
he was taken about three weeks ago suffering from paralysis. He leaves one
son, Roy Davis, of Syracuse. Burial in the village cemetery.

HAPPENINGS OF THE PAST

Some Comments.

The TIMES of April 30,1892 says: “E. M. VanHoesen of Preble has invented a
mail-bag-catcher. When it once grasps a bag, it will not let go, etc.” What is
needed nowadays is a “male” catcher net, or something that will “catch the
males, and won’t let go.” Like the big fish that always get away, the number
of males that escape the matrimonial net is quite numerous. To quote from a
prominent after-dinner speaker, “many are chosen, but few are frozen.”

The Homer Times of February 22,. 1892, tells of the narrow escape of L. P.
Norton and family from being overcome with coal gas, and adds that “they had
recently moved from Tully.” Can it be that this was a warning to Mr. Norton to
return to “the loveliest village?”

In the Spring of 1892, Tully had a tie vote, the main issue being on the
excise question, and in the Spring of 1895, it says that Rev. J. H. McGahan
had an invitation to officiate at a wedding at Phoenix. But that’s another
kind of a tie. No “recount” there.

BASE BALL

Truxton No Match For Tully

In a slugging match, in which Tully did all the slugging, the High School team
won their second game of the season Saturday from Truxton High, by a score of
40 to 10, at the High School grounds.

Tully batted the ball all over the field, hitting the Truxton pitcher at will.
Hurlbut, who pitched the first six innings, held Truxton at his mercy,
allowing them but five hits and six runs. Brier, who replaced him in the
seventh, was wild at the start, giving them bases on balls and one hit which
scored four runs. After that he settled down and retired them in one-two-three
order. Tully has a fast and heavy hitting team this year and should win most
of the games played. Truxton played a fine game but was outclassed. The score
follows:
