1847 - Died at his residence in Sandy Creek, on Saturday
afternoon last, of a shot but severe
illness, Thomas S. Meacham, Esq. the proprietor of
Agricultural Hall, in the 54th year
of his age. Mr. Meacham was one of the first settlers of
this county, was a Farmer by profession,
and has probably done more than any other man
in the County for the promotion
of the science of Agriculture. His whole mind has always
been absorbed in this occupation,
and the Dairying interest of the county owes its first
impetus to him. His Mammoth Cheese,
presented to President Van Buren, will not soon
be forgotten, and although his body
has passed from the earth, we hope that his many
traits of kindness, benevolence,
perseverance and industry will not soon pass from the
minds of his contemporaries.

at the residence of his son, Dr.
Newell Wright, Dennis Wright, in the 87th year of his age.
Mr. Wright was born in Northcastle,
Westchester county, New York, where he resided
until the close of the Revolutionary
War, the sufferings of which with the cruelties
inflicted by the British and Torres,
in their predatory warfare he was obliged to share. His
fathers estate, said to have been
considerable, was entirely wasted by burning, robberies
and the depreciation in value of
Continental money, so that Dennis commenced business
with no other capital than industry,
perseverance and economy, which with the assistance
of a most excellent and pious companion;
and the blessing of Providence, enabled him to
gain a competence, and something
to spare to the poor and less fortune of his fellow men,
and to liberally support the institutions
of religion, the hopes of which were early
embraced by both himself and wife,
and the peace and consolation of which were most
richly and abundantly bestowed in
the decline of life, the day of sickness and the ultimate
hour of death.

1847 - Died in New Orleans, on the 3rd of May last, Mr.
John P. Lane, oldest son of Gilbert
Lane of this village, in the 35th year of his age. Mr.
Lane was an Odd Fellow, and altho’
in a land of strangers, far from kindred or
acquaintance, still his parents
have the assurance that he had every attention which his
situation required, and a Christian
burial. The fact needs no comment, but speaks for
itself.

scarlet fever, Frederick, youngest
son of Arthur F. and Charlotte Mathewson, aged 3 years
and 6 months.

illness of only five days, Mrs.
Eliza, wife of Winsor Whipple, Esq., in the 41st year of her
age. The death of Mrs. Whipple is
deeply mourned by a large circle of acquaintances in
the town where she resided and her
funeral was attended with a sorrowing train whom her
Christian virtues and amiable disposition
had attached to her during her residence in that
section.

Isreal Jones, aged 72 years. Mr.
Jones was the first who groped his way through the 12
mile wood, and settled in this town
some 43 years ago. He was the oldest of nine
children, whose father lived to
a sufficient age to see them all settled in the world, and
who with this exception are now
living, and the long funeral train of connection that
followed him to the grave, shows
conclusively that his descendants will not soon be
extinct.
Richland Courier ~ December
1, 1847 - Died in South Richland, Oswego Co., New
York, on the 16th day of November,
inst., the Tesidence of Mr. J. N. Dewey, Capt.
Ebenezer Bement, in the 80th year
of his age. Capt. B. was formerly from Stockbridge,
Mass., whence he removed to Ontario
Co., in this State, where he resided for more than
25 years. For about the last 20
years he has resided in this town; and for more than half
this time, in the family of Mr.
Dewey, who have bestowed upon him and his aged
companion who survives, every attention
calculated to alleviate the infirmities of
enfeebled old age. He, however,
enjoyed generally good health for a man of his years
until within a little more than
two years since. It is due to his memory to say, that he was
an industrious and moral man and
respected citizen. Some weeks previous to his death his
mind was exercised with a sense
of his condition as a sinner in the sight of a holy God.
He expressed his sense of the justice
of God in the condemnations of sinners; and in his
own condemnation. And his friends
have reason to hope that work of grace was wrought
in his heart by the Holy Spirit,
which prepared him, tho’ at the eleventh hour, for the
enjoyment of the heavenly rest.
His funeral was attended at the residence of Mr. Dewey,
where the occasion was improved
by a discourse founded on Luke 23: 42, “To day shalt
thou be with me in paradise.”

29, 1847 - Died in this village on Tuesday morning last,
Mrs. Martha Gurley, aged 72 years.
Mrs. Gurley has for some time had to combat the
inroads of that fell disease (consumption)
but with resignation and fortitude has awaited
the stroke which although not unexpected
still so sudden seems. She was not considered
dangerous until Saturday last and
today we number her with the past. Her funeral will be
attended from the residence of her
son, George Gurley, Esq., on Friday next at 1 o’clock.

mourn his loss. Mr. T. was a man
who deserved and commanded the respect of his fellow
men, and a life of uprightness and
probity had won for him the high appellation of the
noblest work of God - an honest
man. The widow has lost in him a kind husband; the
children a tender parent; the Sabbath
school an excellent Superintendent; the Church an
ardent, devoted and liberal member;
and the world a warmhearted philanthropist. He has
gone to that rest, which a living
testimony for Christ warrants us in believing was
prepared for him. - (Com. to the

Richland Courier ~ November 8, 1848
- Died in this village on Saturday the 4th, inst.,
Dea. Benjamin Snow, aged 48 years.
The deceased removed to this village in 1821, while
it was still in its infancy and
by his enterprise and perseverance has added much to its
present prosperous condition. His
uniform and exemplary conduct has endeared him to all
who knew him. He was at different
periods of his life honored with various stations of
public trust conducted with the
local transactions of our thriving village; he having to the
last enjoyed the most unbounded
confidence of his fellow citizens. As a Christian, a
Citizen, a Parent, his whole life
affords the strongest evidence of irreproachable
character; of a kind and generous
disposition, his warm heart was at all times alive to the
necessities of his fellow beings,
and his sympathies were ever expressed by tangible
relief. The gloom and sadness that
pervades our community, is a living attestation of the
great appreciation placed upon his
philanthropy and general usefulness. The more
immediate cause that led to this
sudden and unexpected calamity was the accidental
falling of heavy machinery connected
with a new mill which the deceased was engaged in
erecting. It occurred on the afternoon
of Wednesday last. He was sensible from the first
that the injury he then received
would terminate fatally; and with that calm composure of
mind for which he was eminently
distinguished, resigned himself to his fate; and although
laboring under intense pain, he
placed his whole trust in Him who never betrayed the
confidence of those who loved him.
The strongest testimonials of regard and affection
were manifested during his last
moments, by a large circle of anxious friends, from whose
hearts the recollections of his
many virtues can never be eradicated. May the light of his
example be a living monitor to the
surviving and be reduced to practical good.

moments elapsed before she was a corpse, having fallen
and expired almost without a struggle.
“Blessed are they that die in the Lord.” -
Communicated.
Richland Courier ~ March 14, 1849
- Fatal Accident - Delos G., second son of S. R. and
Sally Dickinson, aged 15 years,
came to his death March 9th, suddenly, at Union Square,
from the effects of a blow received
on the head. He was in the woods with his father and
brother, who were falling a tree,
which in its downward course, caused a limb from the
top of an adjoining tree, to be
hurled some 60 feet with unerring aim at its victim. His
father being very near, took him
up apparently lifeless; and upon examination found his
skull to be badly broken. He was
taken home immediately, where every effort was made,
of which medical skill was capable,
to restore him to consciensousness, and save his life;
but all of no avail. He lingered
only 16 hours, when his spirit left its frail tenement, and
took its flight, where neither the
moans of his tender mother no the tears of a fond father
and affectionate brother, the only
remaining child, nor the sympathies of a large circle of
mourning friends, could call him
back. He was a very interesting and promising lad, and
had greatly endeared himself to
his friends, by the amiability of his disposition, the
gentleness of his manners, his high
moral character, and it has been said by those best
acquainted with him, that he had
not an enemy in the world. May we all take warning by
this afflicting dispensation, to
be in readiness, should we be summoned hastily away, as
was this our friend; and may that
choice circle now broken and bleeding be joined in one
unbroken family above. Union Square,
March 12, 1849, S. A. S.

Richland Courier ~ May 16, 1849 -
Died in Ellisburgh, Jefferson County, April 26th after
a short illness, Mr. Nathan French,
in the 87th year of his age. Endowed with a strong,
clear, discriminating mind, and
a benevolent heart; possessed of general good health and
a retentive memory; confirmed in
the habits of virtue and invariably practicing the most
inflexible integrity; he commanded
universal respect and esteem, in all the departments of
social life and came down to his
grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in his
season. With undoubting faith he
trusted in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
especially of those that believe.
Delighting in the Law of God, and practically illustrating
the numerous virtues of the Christian
life, he came to his death in peace, cherishing the
holy visions of that hope which
is as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and
which entereth into that within
the vail. Long will his memory be tenderly cherished by
an aged companion; a numerous and
respectable family of children and descendants, by
many kindred and friends; by the
church and society which be honored by his upright and
unexceptionable life; and by the
community at large to which he was an ornament and a
blessing. His funeral was largely
attended on the 28th at Mansville, and the consolations
of the gospel of devine peace, purity
and love, administered to a numerous circle of
mourners and others from the words
of the Saviour recorded in Mathew v. 4, and his
body conveyed to the silent “house
appointed for all living,” and his spirit commended
“unto God who gave it.” May the
devine blessing rest upon all who mourn. P. M.
Henderson, May 7, 1849.

Richland Courier ~ May 23, 1849 -
Olive Jones, wife of Pliny Jones, died in Pulaski,
Oswego Co., April 10th, in the 68th
year of her age. Sister Jones was one of the first, if
not the first that embraced religion
in this region, having been a member of the M. E.
Church about 40 years. Her house
will long be remembered by the wandering itinerant as
one of those resting places where
he may recruit his strength and prepare himself for
future toils and labors. Her death
was sudden and unexpected, brought on by
inflammation of the bowels; but
her uniform Christian department during a long life had
gained for her, through the blood
of Christ, an eternal weight of glory. “Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord.” W. H.
Hawkins.

1847 - JOHN VAN EPPS -
We have
been constrained by the solicitation of a number of our patrons to publish
an
expose of this notorious scoundrel
who has for years prowled around the county, but for
some months has been cooped up in
jail. We are opposed to talking or writing such a man
into notoriety and think the least
said the better. If there are those so weak as to be gulled
by his bare faced villainy, they
are too stuped to discern the truth, and the facts though
written in letters of fire have
no effect. All publications referring to him will only have
the effect to strengthen his claims
upon his dupes with the cry of persecution, and we
think it is not showing wisdom to
take more notice of him than to apply the Laws of the
land to his case. If Van Epps is
not belied by those who pretend to be acquainted with him
he is a half crazed villain as to
scorn, and who is to gain honor by meddling with him?
JOHN VAN
EPPS AN IMPOSTER
I hereby
certify that I have no fellowship with John Van Epps, but entirely disapprove
of the course he is taking. By a
thorough acquaintance with him, and I might say by sad
experience. I have become convinced
that he is a wicked lying impostor - a deceiver, who
has considerable shrewdness and
craft in beguiling honest inquirers after truth. He has
spent 16 years prowling about the
county like a beast of prey, seeking whom he might
devour, and has had some success
in his wicked work. I have been informed by a
gentleman from Yates county, where
Van Epps has resided, that his present female
associate is not the first victim
that has been seduced and ruined by him; also that he has
ruined a number as to property,
who were before in comfortable circumstances. In all his
acts he says he is infallibly led
by the spirit of Jesus Christ - It is a cause of rejoicing to all
the friends of Christ and humanity,
that God in his providence has arrested him in his
wicked career. I would advise all
virtuous people to keep clear of him, to shun him as
they would a poisonous serpent;
and all who are in fellowship with him. He has
conducted himself in so scandalous
a manner since he had been in Pulaski jail, that all
virtuous people are perfectly disgusted
with him. I think it would be needless to caution
any against being deceived by him,
if it were not for the help he had from a few poor
dupes who were once worthy members
of society, but are now were appendages to Van
Epps and the devil, in carrying
on their hellish imposition; and their apparent virtues are
only so many baits to decoy honest
souls into the very gates of hell. It was through their
influences and testimony that Van
Epps has been able to practice as much deception on
me as he had; but I am truly thankful
that their power is broken; I now view them in their
true character. I know Van Epps
is a selfish, covetous man, and that self indulgence and
gratification is his chief object.
If I can be the means of keeping any from being ensnared
by him, or of opening the eyes of
any who are under his influence, to see him as he is, I
shall be well paid for all it has
cost me. Van Epps holds that it would be right for him to
perform many acts which if proven
against him would put him in the State’s prison. I
have heard him argue that lying
and perjury were right, if done from good motives. He
says the world’s system is all a
lying system, and if Christians do not lie the world will
have the advantage of them. He quoted
Rom. 3: 7 to prove it was right to lie to build up
Christ’s kingdom; (by which he meant
his own bandit, whom he was teaching to lie, rob,
pass counterfeit money, etc.) I
have heard him say he should have no scruples of
conscience in lying, under an oath
administered in the world’s courts.
I would
here remark that Van Epps’s statement under oath, in court, in Pulaski,
that he
was a preacher of the sect of Perfectionists,
is false. He has never been in fellowship with
them; he has been turned out of
their meeting, and no Perfectionist who knew him would
receive him into his house. He has
never taken or supported their publications, and his
statement was a grievous slander,
if his tongue can slander. He has no influence over any
people except six or seven in Amboy,
some of whom it appears have become so
magnetized in Van Epps’s spirit
that they have lost all sense of right and wrong, caring
only to approve what he says, and
run at his nod. Some of them I think will abandon him
soon, and I sincerely hope for their
sakes it will be the case. I might say much more
against Van Epps; but what I have
said I think enough to keep him from doing any more
mischief. John Abbott - Pulaski,
Oswego Co., N. Y. July 1847.
