| 10607 | GEORGE T. FEARON, a very extensive farmer and horticulturist, and one of the truly representative citizens of Madison County, is eminently worthy a place in this "Biographical Review." Agriculture is much older than the Christian era, and its literature is richer than perhaps that of any other occupation of mankind. The art itself is, as a matter of course, older than its literature, which may be said to have begun with Cato the Great, who was born at Tusculum in 234 B.C., who inherited from his plebeian father a small farm in the country of the Sabines, and who was the first and most celebrated writer on this subject. The art of agriculture consists in rearing those animals and plants best suited to supply the wants of man; and, in all probability, no part of the United States is better suited to its perfect development than Central New York. Of those sufficiently fortunate to inhabit this favored region is Mr. George T. Fearon, who is one of its leading farmers and horticulturists, having successfully followed two branches of agriculture during most of his life. Mr. Fearon was born April 21, 1835, in the town of Eaton, on the farm which he now owns and occupies. He is a son of Robert and Ann (Christian) Fearon, both of whom were born in Ireland, the former having been the son of George Fearon, whose biographical sketch appears elsewhere in this volume. Robert Fearon was a prosperous stock-raiser and hop-grower, and owned the farm on which the subject of this sketch now lives. Being an honest, hard-working man, he was highly respected wherever known. Religiously, he was a Methodist; and, politically, he was a Republican. His death took place September 13, 1875, when he was sixty-nine years of age. Mr. Fearon was twice married, by his first wife rearing seven children, and by his second one, who is yet living. All but one of the family grew to mature years. The three now living are: George T., the subject of this sketch; Robert M., a lumber dealer, living in Ohio; and Henry, of Oneida, N.Y. George T. Fearon remained at home until he reached his twenty-fifth year, having in the mean time acquired a good education in the district schools and by attendance five terms at Cazenovia Seminary. In June, 1860, he married Miss Adell F. Thurston, who was born in the town of Stockbridge, and is a daughter of Hiram and Emily (Hamilton) Thurston, the former of whom was a successful farmer of the town of Stockbridge, and died there at the age of eighty-one, his wife having passed away fourteen months before, aged eighty years. They were the parents of eleven children, seven of whom are still living, Mrs. Adell F. Fearon being one of the three younger. The farm of Mr. George T. Fearon contains one hundred and sixty-five acres, seventy acres of which he has devoted to large and small fruit, such as apples, pears, blackberries, raspberries, and grapes. Besides this farm, Mr. Fearon also owns one in Lake County, Florida, upon which he raises oranges, lemons, grapes, and peaches. On his Madison County farm he raises stock and also keeps about one hundred sheep. Mr. and Mrs. Fearon have two sons--David C., born January 18, 1864, and Fred M., born September 7, 1867--both of whom are engaged in fruit-growing with their father. On April 12, 1893, in the town of Eaton were married Mr. Fred M. Fearon and Miss Lepha Lewis. The bride, a very capable young lady of good attainments, was born and brought up at the home of her parents in Pratt's Hollow. Mrs. George T. Fearon is a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal church. Mr. Fearon is a voter with the Prohibition party and an advocate of its principles. | Fearon, George Thomas (I27779)

| 10609 | George Van Buren, born 18 July 1928, died 18 September 2015 in Grass Valley, California, after a long illness. Born in Little Falls, New York, Van Buren is the last male in the line descending from the brother of our 19th Century President. A member of MENSA, Van Buren was a talented an innovative engineer in television, Broadway, and concert hall illumination and acoustical design. He held patents in this field. He was responsible for building control systems for motorized scenery for many of David Merrick’s Broadway shows, such as Oliver, 110 in The Shade, and others. He toured the nation with many other shows such as Silk Stockings, Flower Drum Song, Music Man, and Pickwick. As Production Electrician for Disney on Parade, George designed and built the “flying rig,” that elevated stage show characters, such as Mary Poppins, all controlled from telemetering information sent from a primitive computer. For these and many other innovating stage and lighting devices, in 1994 Van Buren was given the Wally Award for development of entertainment technology, presented by Theatre Crafts International. Van Buren became an experienced aviator and with his wife travelled extensively across the nation in their personal aircraft. He became a computer expert such that he shared interests with Steve Jobs. During the 1970s George helped to design and install the first Global Positioning System at the North Pole, though ultimately he realized that his heart was in theater. As chief electrician for the San Francisco Symphony, Van Buren designed and oversaw the construction of the Davies Hall “cloud” of convex acoustical clear acrylic tiles. The array of 50 panels is positioned by a preprogrammed system to focus sound from a particular configuration of the orchestra. He received a number of proclamations for his efforts, from the Office of the Mayor, the Board of Trustees of the San Francisco War Memorial Department, and the San Francisco Symphony. He retired from Symphony Hall in 1991, moving to Grass Valley, but maintained his association with the IATSELocal 16 Union in San Francisco until his passing. During “retirement” in Grass Valley Van Buren initiated and redesigned a local theater, now known as the Center for the Arts. This new center attracts major artists and musicians from across the nation. The termination of his rich life leaves a void in the extensive legion of professionals he influenced over many decades of unending activity. He leaves his wife of 31 years, noted Balanchine and New York City Ballet Company-trained ballerina and classical ballet instructor, Myrna Galle, two daughters, stepson and family, six grandchildren, and seven great grandchildren. | Van Buren, George Frederick (I35667)

| 10619 | George Wallace Nelson, M.D. - April 8, 1835 - December 15, 1913. Son of Elijah Porter and Mary Wallace Nelson. Husband of Mary Ellen Bonner Nelson (married April 12, 1865 in Orwell, New York) & Lillian Milkins Nelson (married June 9, 1890 in Skaneateles, Onondaga County, New York.) Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, December 25, 1913 Sandy Creek News - Sandy Creek, New York - Dr. George W. Nelson - It was with a sense of irreparable loss and deep sorrow that the many friends of Dr. George W. Nelson heard of his passing away at his home in Orwell, Monday, December 15, 1913. The departed was well-known, not only in his own town, but also throughout the county. For more than a half century he had been ministering with care and efficiency to the wants and sufferings of his fellow men. He was born in Rome, Oneida County April 8, 1835, being the son of Elijah P. and Mary Wallace Nelson. His ancestors came from England and from family traditions they had some foundation for claiming relationship with the great Admiral Lord Nelson. One of the family traits however is heroism. His grandfather, Moses Nelson was at the Cherry Valley massacre and was taken captive by the Indians to Canada but when required to “run the gauntlet”, he acquitted himself so bravely as to elicit applause from his captors and finally set at liberty. Upon his return to the States he fought under Washington for the independence of the thirteen colonies and in 1844 died being satisfied with a long life and leaving behind him ten children. Dr. Nelson's education was received at the Rome Academy and the Whitestown seminary, an institution during the first half of the last century stood preeminently among the educational factors of the state. In his early life he launched out as teacher having charge of schools at Rome,, Taberg and Florence. After deciding upon the medical profession for a vocation he entered the office of Drs. J. B. Cobb of Rome and W. H. Nelson of Taberg where he studied medicine and surgery and later became a student at the Castleton Medical college, Vermont, where he pursued further studies and graduated therefrom in 1861. For one year he practiced in conjunction with his brother at Taberg and in 1862 he located at Orwell, then a prosperous and thriving village, and there remained esteemed and honored until the Master said to him “Brother come up higher.” He was known as a careful practitioner and skillful in his profession. He was a member of the Oswego County Medical society, of the Medical Association of Central New York and of the State Medical Association. He served his town as supervisor, clerk, assessor and justice of the peace and his county as coroner, and at the time of his demise was a deacon in the Congregational church of which he had been a member and supporter for many years. In April 12, 1865 he was married to Mary Ellen Bonner, who died September 4, 1884 leaving one son, George, who survives his father. He married second, Lillian Melkens [sic], of Skaneateles, who with two sons, Bruce and Carrol, survive him and will have the sympathy of their many friends in their great affliction. The immediate cause of his death was apoplexy. For several years he had been fully aware of the nature of the disease of which he should die. The funeral was held at the Union church Thursday, December 18, Rev. S. B. Owen and his pastor, the Rev. T. T. Davies, officiating. Interment in the family lot at Evergreen cemetery. Dr. Nelson was a man of more than ordinary ability, of keen insight, strong intellect, indomitable will, fine sensibilities and quick to respond to the call of duty. Whether night or day, winter or summer the call came, his services were at the disposal of those who needed his help. It would be difficult to measure the long hours of vigilance, the tiresome journeyings, the physical fatigue and the mental anxieties that he gladly endured for the purpose of relieving the suffering and bring hope into many a forlorn home. Like the doctor of the old school in Beside the Bonnie Briar Bush “he did his best for the need of every man, woman and child in the wild, struggling district where he lived, year in, year out, in the snow and in the heat, in the dark and in the light, without rest and without holiday for fifty-one years.” He was loved because he was known, he was trusted because he was loved. “Safe from temptation, safe from sin’s pollution He lives-whom we call dead.” | Nelson, George Wallace (I73339)

Son of Royal and Clarita Seamans. Husband of Celia Maria Dewey Seamans. Married February 22, 1855 at Sand Bank, Oswego County, New York. Newspaper Obituary - Wednesday, October 16, 1912 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - He Was Spared to Realize Happy Old Age - Like the fields of ripened grain, fit for the reaper's hand, so was George Westcott Seamans ripe in years and perfect in readiness when the call came for him to go and he sank peacefully into the long sleep of death at the home, Friday afternoon, October 11, surrounded by his companion of nearly fifty-eight years and his four children. For several weeks he had been suffering with heart troubles but had been about most of the time and enjoyed an automobile ride every day. Tuesday he was suffering more from short breath and about two o'clock, Wednesday morning, he sank into an unconsciousness from which he never recovered, just slept his life away. In the modest home of the pioneer of the town of Richfield, Otsego County, New York, September 9, 1828, George Westcott Seamans was born. His parents were Royal and Claritta Seamans, who moved by way again from Foster, Rhode Island, to Richfield and made for themselves a home among the pioneers of that section of the state, in 1824. In 1842 the father moved his family to the town of Albion, near the present site of the Seamans School House. His family consisted of six boys and four girls, of whom but three are living, Isaac Seamans, of Fulton; Clarissa West, of Camden, and Harriet Kyes, of Copenhagen. His boyhood days were spent on the farm and he had but limited opportunities for securing an education but did become sufficiently prepared so he taught district school, and was also town superintendent of schools in the town of Albion. He learned carpenter and mill wright work which occupied his time summers while he taught school winters. February 22, 1855, he was united in marriage with Celia Dewey, of Orwell, and they commenced home life in Williamstown. To this union were born five children, Ernest, who died in infancy, Clayton. Byron, Minnie and Claritta, all of whom are living. At the opening of the Civil War he was ready to enlist but some physical defect prevented him from entering the service, but in 1864 he offered himself and was accepted in Company C, 186th Regiment New York Volunteers. He left his wife and three children, aged four years, two years and the youngest three months. He remained in the service until the close of the war when he came back to Albion and resumed the work he left to go into the service. In the winter of 1882 he moved to Pulaski, where he engaged in business with C. W. Street and J. H. Mickle as builders. He was actively in business until about seven years ago. He served one term as trustee on the village board and was serving his third term as justice of the peace. For many years he has been a member of the Methodist Church and active on the official board. He was a member of 3. B. Butler Post, G.A.R. and has served as Commander of that organization, at present he was chaplain; he was a member of Pulaski Lodge, No. 415, F. & A.M. He was conspicuously modest in his manner and scrupulously considerate of his family and friends. Selfishness was an unknown element in the economy of his make-up. No one ever came to him in need and went away disappointed if within his power to grant the whole or part of their desire. His honorable and upright life is a legacy which his family received more gladly than they could wealth. His death was received with sadness through the community. His presence on our streets will be missed. In his autobiography which was only recently completed he closes the story of his life with these words: "I am ready." We who knew him best leave he was ready to enter into the presence of the Judge of all and we believe he has already heard the glad "Well done, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." The funeral was held from the late home in Mill Street, at two o'clock Monday afternoon. The service was conducted by Rev. A. P. Palmer, pastor of the Pulaski Methodist Church. Mr. Palmer spoke feelingly of the "Victory" in the death of Mr. Seamans. The members of J. B. Butler Post, G.A.R., attended in a body and conducted the burial services at the grave. The presence of a great many floral pieces and cut flowers, from organizations and private individuals, were a conspicuous testimony of esteem. The bearers were his two sons, Clayton E. and Byron G., his brother, Albert S. Seamans and nephews, Stukely T. Seamans, George B. Seamans and Wilson A. Austin. Friends were present from Syracuse, Norwich, Fulton, Sandy Creek, Altmar, Richland, Salmon River, Parish and New Centerville. | Seamans, George Wescott (I68316)

Newspaper Obituary - Saturday, September 24, 1910 The Oswego Daily Palladium - Oswego, New York - Death Came Suddenly ¬George W. Bradner, a Well Known Lawyer of Mexico Dropped Dead Last Night - Mexico, September 24 - While standing in the hall of the Mexico House conversing with a party of friends last night George W. Bradner, a prominent member of the Oswego county bar and for many years a resident of this village, dropped to the floor unconscious and expired before the arrival of a physician. Mr. Brander had displayed no symptoms of serious illness, although he had not been in the best of health for the past month. Wednesday he went to Oswego, where he appeared in a matter before Judge Rowe at Chambers and appeared to be in good health. He was born in the town of Richland and when a young man moved to Mexico, where he has made his home. He was one of the best known lawyers in the county and was the author of standard books on evidence and other matters. Of a fraternal spirit, he was a member of many organizations and enjoyed an acquaintance throughout this part of the country such as comes to few men. He was a member of the Mexico Lodge, F. and A.M., Lake Ontario, No 165, R.A.M.; Lake Ontario Commandery, No. 32, K. L. Media Temple, Mystic Shrine, and of the Mexico Lodge of Odd Fellows. He is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Susan Davis and Mrs. Clara Graves, of Oswego; one brother, F. J. Bradner, of Seattle, and ten nieces and nephews. Coroner Vowinkel was notified of the death and left on the 9:20 train to make an investigation. Coroner Vorinkel issued a certificate today that Mr. Bradner's death was due to a stroke of apoplexy. He was on his way to his room about 10:00 p.m. and he had just reached the stairs in the hall when Landlord See heard the fall and going to the prostrate man, saw that he was unconscious. There was a twitching of the facial muscles, and the end came before the arrival of Doctor Mowry. Mr. Bradner had seemed unusually well yesterday, and both at dinner and supper ate heartily. His sudden death has cast a gloom over the entire village. | Bradner, George William (I55062)

Reid of Pulaski, who was shot and killed in the street at Pulaski last Friday night was arrested early this morning at River Gate, about two miles north of Pulaski as he was about to take the train to Watertown to give himself up. Eddy pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the first degree, and in May 1910 was sentenced to Auburn prison for a term of not more than 20 years nor less than ten. He had served nine years when released May 20, 1919. Newspaper Article - Wednesday. December 8, 1909 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - He Shot to Kill - Pulaski Has a Real Sensation - Man Shot in Store Door - Murderer Captured - Last Thursday evening, a little before nine o'clock, as the village people were finishing up the shopping and returning to their homes shots were heard in the vicinity of C. H. Brooks' store. Not only one but two, three and the fourth cracked on the evening air and soon a crowd had gathered to the walk in front of the store to witness something, we understand, a man has never witnessed in this village before in its history, the body murdered in this village. It was the lifeless form of a young man named John Reid, who was clerking for Mr. Brooks. He had been about the store waiting on customers as usual when he was called outside the store and held a conversation with a man, stranger to everyone about the place, but probably not a stranger to Reid. The conversation was not in tones that say anyone could hear. Reid left his caller and started to enter the store but as he reached the threshold of the door the man with whom he had been talking stepped up behind him and fired a revolver at his back. Reid partly turned, gave a cry and by that time a second shot was fired and Reid fell. The assailant then fired two more shots and walked away down Mill street, leaving the spectators breathless with amazement and fear over his bold deed. One man. Joe Stewart, stepped towards the man as if to interfere but was warned to stand back or he too would be shot. The man was seen by one or two people down Mill street, but of course no one realized that he was a murderer, even if they had, no one unarmed would have interfered with him. He went out into the darkness and all search that night failed to give any clew [sic] to his whereabouts. The body of young Reid was removed to Enos & Morton's undertaking rooms. The next morning Sheriff Taft came to town and began the search for clues to the murderer. Letters found in Reid's room and pockets revealed the fact that he had been in correspondence with a woman at Theresa and with this bit of light the sheriff and officer S. W. Holmes went to Theresa and located the woman, who was the wife of George Eddy. She was induced to come to Pulaski and here she was taken before District Attorney Freelon J. Davis where she admitted corresponding with Reid and that her husband had discovered the correspondence by an intercepted letter and in his fury threatened to kill Reid and also his wife. This was a big step towards the identity of the murderer but not a clue to his whereabouts. On this evidence Coroner Hollis rendered a verdict that Reid came to his death by the hand of George Eddy and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The search was continued with all persistence. Sunday, a revolver was found near the water pump house which is believed Eddy threw away. It was empty. Reid's body was shipped to Collingwood, Ontario, the home of his father, but before it left the Eddy woman asked to sec it and when she looked upon the corpse she seemed greatly moved with sorrow and asked for a lock of Reid's hair. Reid's father gave out a statement to the effect that his son was about twenty years of age. He had been a wild fellow, and all he could do for him would not induce him to settle down and be a man. He was arrested for stealing once or twice before he left Canada. His tendency, according to his father, was for bad company and the opposite sex. He met the Eddy woman while working near Cape Vincent. She is about thirty years of age and has two children. She was adopted from the Watertown orphan's home when a little girl and has always lived near Theresa. It is needless to say she is possessed of a very weak or bad mind to have carried on the correspondence and held the position she did towards Reid, who it is claimed, successfully blackmailed her out of about five dollars a week, pretending he was sick. It should be distinctly understood while this case was committed in our village, the parties are all essentially foreigners. It is a misfortune to be so much before the public in this way. This should be a lesson to the people to be more careful about taking in strangers, who have no recommend with a to it, which is quite certain Reid did not possess. It would _ that such a shock would make the young people who recognized Reid, socially, _ _ in the future. [line missing] the town of Orwell, through Boylston into Lewis county, to Copenhagen, Carthage and Lowville spent his nights in barns, got food from farm houses, skulked in fear about the country and finally wended his way back to his home in Theresa, arriving there about five o'clock. Sunday morning, went to his deserted and broken home, went in and laid himself down for rest after two days and three nights of awful torture by hunger, fatigue and cold. His brother, John Eddy, went to the house the next day and to his surprise found his brother. He staved with him that day and during the day an arrangement was made for Eddy to go to Rivergate, Monday morning, two miles this way and there meet an officer to whom he would surrender. He was brought to Watertown where Sheriff Taft met him and he was brought to Pulaski on the afternoon train, Monday. He was haggard and dejected. He was lodged in jail and held for examination and to attend the coroner's inquest, conducted by Coroner Hollis. While in Watertown he secured Attorney Jerome B. Cooper as counsel and Mr. Cooper came to Pulaski on the same train. District Attorney F. J. Davis is investigating the evidence, several witnesses have been sworn, but the inquest and examination is behind closed doors at the court room and little is known to the public. Witnesses sworn were C. H. Brooks. Dr. J. L. More, Joe Stewart Ray Hilton and Edward Parsons. Brooks identified the man as the one who came into the store that night before the shooting. Witnesses brought from Theresa to testify are John Eddy, a brother, Mrs. John Nellis, adopted mother of Mrs. .Eddy, E. A. Cook and Charles Henry. The latter sold the revolver to Mr. Eddy. - Eddy Insane - It is strongly probable that defense will attempt to prove Eddy of unsound mind, and this will be helped by the .fact his father and brother are insane. Eddy is weak and in poor health and probably caused by the conduct of his wife and Reid. He has the sympathy of his townspeople, many of whom saw him on the way to Watertown and offered sympathy and aid so far as they could give it. The inquest and examination is going on as we go to press. Newspaper Article - Wednesday, May 18, 1910 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - The Eddy Trial - Jurors Selected - Eddy in Good Spirits - Monday morning the town was alive with people from all over the county, brought here to attend court. The unusual interest and the large number of people was occasioned by the designation of that date for the commencement of the trial of George A. Eddy, accused of the murder of John Reed, in front of Brooks’ store in this village, last December. Eddy was brought to this village from Oswego by Sheriff Charles W. Taft and on their arrival at the station there were a half dozen cameras aimed at the prisoner. He was handcuffed to the Sheriff and both were taken in the Democrat editor’s automobile and carried directly to the Court House. Eddy was in good spirits and smiled as he looked out into the world once more and breathed the free air of the village which, a few months ago, he is charged with having made one of the most talked of communities in this part of the state. Court opened soon after the arrival of the Sheriff and his prisoner. The accused man was seated in the courtroom between two officers and as the jurors were called he took much interest in the proceedings of the court. Justice DeAngeles is the presiding Justice. The one hundred and twenty-five jurors were called in sections as they were called excuses were heard and some were permitted to go. Some delay was caused by the failure of Jerome B. Cooper to prepare for the trial by having assistant counsel, but Hon. N. B. Smith was soon called into the case and the examination of jurors began. District Attorney Freelon J. Davis is assisted by Don A. Colony and Harry Stacy. The first afternoon was occupied in jury getting with the result that only three were found acceptable to both sides. An evening session was called and two more were found who would be allowed to sit in the jury box. Court adjourned to Tuesday morning when the task of securing jurors was resumed. During the forenoon three more were secured. At the afternoon session some cases were heard by the Judge, outside of the murder case and the jury finding was resumed and continued until ten o'clock with the result that jurors were found acceptable. The complete list is as follows: Frank Brownell, Orwell, farmer. William Ruprecht, Palermo, farmer. Robert J. Northrup, Oswego, piano tuner. George E. Sickler, Fulton, laborer. Leonard L. Copeland, Oswego, farmer. Robert Foils, Amboy, farmer. Charles B. Davis, Scriba, farmer. Maurice Scanlin, Granby, farmer. Charles Stone, Sandy Creek, farmer. Henry Fravos, Mexico, farmer. Peter Fetcha, Mexico, farmer. Harrison Guinip, Granby, farmer. - Trial Begins - Court opened at half-past nine, today. District Attorney Freelon J. Davis made the opening address to the jury in which he recited a brief history of the murder. He said there would be no dramatic effort on the part of the prosecution, only cold facts would be used to convince the jury of the guilt of George A. Eddy, who stands charged with murder in the first degree. The first witness called was a civil engineer, Timothy Buckley, of Altmar, who has made a map of the Brooks store and surroundings. As we go to press Mr. Buckley is on the witness stand. Newspaper Article - Wednesday, May 25, 1910 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Eddy Trial Ends - The trial of George A. Eddy, of Theresa, which was in progress when we went to press Wednesday, came to an abrupt close, Friday morning, when Eddy pled guilty to manslaughter in the first degree, withdrawing his former plea of “not guilty” to the charge of murder in the first degree. The people finished their side of the case Thursday and the defense was opened by N. B. Smith in a strong statement of the case for the defense. Thursday evening a conference was held among the attorneys and it was decided, as it was Eddy’s wish to do so, that the plea of not guilty on the charge of murder be withdrawn and the prisoner plead guilty to manslaughter. This was done and the Judge in a very impressive address pronounced sentence on Eddy, which was, “not more than twenty years or less than ten years at hard labor in Auburn prison.” Eddy was the picture of despair until the Judge made the sentencing announcement, then it seemed as though his face told of relief. He knew where he stood and what he had to meet. He was taken to Oswego by Sheriff C. W. Taft on the afternoon train and Saturday he was taken to Auburn. Before he was taken away he was allowed a private interview with his wife in which the meeting was most affecting. He begged her to go home and help care for the little ones and wait for him to return. Though the woman had been the real cause of all this trouble, Eddy will not throw her over and if he lives to be free, and she is still waiting, he will go to her and take up life with his family again. This position of Eddy seems strange, but the Theresa people believe it is a true sample of the man. Eddy must have been thought well of for many of the best people of the village of Theresa came and were eager to express their friendship to the unfortunate man and all had a kind word for him. Of Mrs. Eddy not so much in favor of her can be said. She must be as she looks, exceedingly shallow and lacking in character and stability. The murder of the viper, John Reed was the culmination of a style of conduct which has too much sway. When a man invades the home of another as did this man Reed, he is traveling awful near to trouble and if he meets it he has no one to blame but himself. Reed not only trespassed on the sacredness of Eddy’s home but he practiced fraud and blackmail to get money from the poor weak minded Mrs. Eddy, as the published letters showed, where he represented himself ill and at the same time was working for wages. His death was a riddance of a bad specimen of humanity. This case should be of some value to young women who are too often ready to take notice of and associate with men of whom they know nothing. Reed was making himself a social place, as it would seem, where his admirers would soon have been counted by a larger numbers that the community would have enjoyed, had Eddy allowed him to live. This was the first homicide ever recorded in this town. The whole story of this tragedy is as strange as fiction. Eddy, a farmer on Grenadier Island employed Reed who had been a cook on a boat. He soon discovered that Reed was too friendly with his wife. He sent him away and went to Cape Vincent in 1909 and went to making cheese. Reed soon appeared there, he then moved to Theresa and leaving his wife with $90 went west to see if he could not get rid of trouble and regain mental comfort, but soon drawn back by some unseen influence and on his return he confronted his wife and she confessed all her conduct with Reed and Eddy found a memoranda in his wife's hand writing showing that she had sent Reed the greater part of the money he left her to keep herself and children and not only that, she had let Reed have her wedding ring. On December 2 he intercepted, by accident, a letter from Reed, pretended to be written by a Mr. Clark. He started for Pulaski to see Reed and get him to stop his attentions to Mrs. Eddy. He had an interview in which Reed said he would do as he pleased, Eddy by the intense _ to which he had been driven fired the shots which killed the scoundrel, Reed, and the results is told in the story above. The friends of Eddy met Mr. Smith and thanked him for coming into the trial as he did, and with no preparation _ as good results as were secured, which was also, in a measure due to the _ in the _ of Judge DeAngeles who is not only one of the best judges on the bench but one of the _ towards those who have to stand trial before him. His position and rulings were such that neither side had reason to complain. | Eddy, George Arthur (I69447)
