Van Ness Potter died this afternoon about half past one o'clock at his home on Union street, after an illness of about eight weeks. Kidney complaint was the cause of his death, which had been expected for some time, his condition having been regarded as serious since the physician was first called. Mr. Potter was an old settler in this county, having come west from New York State in 1847, and located at Neenah. He resided there about ten years, when he came to Oshkosh, where he has since lived. Mr. Potter would've been sixty-nine years old had he lived until his next birthday anniversary. He was born in Floyd, Oneida County, New York. He was married twice. His first wife was Miss Nancy M. Angell, and after her death he married Mrs. Lewis of Orwell, New York. He believes three sons by his first wife, namely, E. A. Potter, of the city, V. H. Potter, of Dakota, and H. G. Potter, of Montana. He also leaves one step-son, Gustav Lewis. Mr. Potter was a man highly respected by a large circle of friends and his death will be regretted not only here but wherever he was known, for he was always regarded as an upright citizen and a man of extreme fairness in his dealings with others. The funeral of the late D. Van Ness Potter took place from Odd Fellow's Hall, and a large attendance was clearly indicative of the estimation in which the deceased was held. The remains were followed to Riverside by a long procession. The following acted as pallbearers: J. M. Rollins, O. E. Carrier, John Morgan, A. H. Reed, F. M. Powers and Carlton Foster. The Rev. C. B. Wilcox of the First Methodist Church officiated and spoke touchingly of Mr. Potter's character as a man. Singing by Mr. and Mrs. B. S. Dale, Mrs. M. F. Eaton and Benjamin Soper. - Mr. Editor: I was with my brother during three weeks of his sickness, and witness the constant anxiety that was manifested in his case by the inhabitants. The wonderful safeguards that were placed around him by Dr. H. B. Dale, the attending physician, and his counselors, Drs. Gordon and Oviatt, our worthy of my strongest appreciation. I have no doubt but what they have those of the family. Alexander Potter, Orwell, February 10, 1890. | Potter, David Van Ness (I23117)

Jones, a lady long known in this village for her kind sympathies and generous nature, died very suddenly at her residence on Lake Street, and this village, on Saturday evening. She was only sick about three hours and so suddenly did she pass away that her husband, the veteran merchant of this place, did not reach home until she was dead. She was attacked with a fearful pain in her head and this seemed to increase in intensity until she became perfectly unconscious. Dr. Kelley was immediately summoned but he could do nothing to relieve save to administer a hypodermic injection of morphine in the arm. This sudden and crushing affliction falls heavily on Mr. Jones, who dearly loved her who had been his wife for forty-eight years, as well as her adopted daughter and friends generally. Her funeral was held at 2 p.m., from the Pulaski M. E. Church, her pastor, Rev. G. P. Kenney, presiding and preaching the sermon.

He thought the only way people died there would be by starvation; but he "guessed he could live anywhere that white folks could." It was all woods, with no roads, at that time. They lived there five years, then sold to R. T. Gates, and bought their present home. Mrs. McNitt's father and mother and sister died with palsy, and she always dreaded it, and finally died with it She was sister to Rev.

| 16429 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 17, 1878 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Suicide - Shortly after one o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last, the news was rapidly circulated through the village that William H. Lester, a man long a resident here and known by nearly every man in this part of the county, had committed suicide and only a few moments before been found dead in his bed. Hastening to his residence, a glance of the room and its contents fully confirmed this theory. The facts connected with this sad affair are these, as nearly as could be ascertained. Since the death of his wife, Mr. Lester has been heard to repeatedly say that life had no attraction to him, that he had outlived his usefulness, and had no desire to live. More recently, and within a few days of the tragedy, he remarked to John Preston, Esq., that he did not care to live and wanted to die. On Friday evening, the night before his death, he had a cigar which he said he preferred to smoke then as he might not need to smoke it in the morning. This is in evidence that the deed was contemplated beforehand. The deceased was seen to leave the Salmon River House in the evening, where he had _for over two years and start for his room in his house on North Street. According to the testimony before the coroner, the next scene of the unfortunate man was by Charles Halsey, who, while driving past the house about seven o'clock on Saturday morning, saw a bright light in Mr. Lester's room and the man himself seated on the edge of the bed leaning over with his head resting on his hands. At one o'clock, the wife of W. H. Lester, Jr., went to the room with cleaning cloth, intending to care for the apartment, when she discovered her father-in-law and bed, lying upon his back, covered up nicely as though asleep, and dead. Mrs. L. J. Macy, a daughter of the deceased, a lady who has been in feeble health for a short time and for whom the sympathies of the public are particularly aroused, was among the first to arrive at the scene, when she was borne half fainting away, overcome by the terrible site. The room where the deceased was found was comfortably and neatly furnished and everything he had been left in good order. At the head of the bed, were the pants of the dead man upon a chair, and upon them was a pocket knife belonging to the deceased with a small blade open and covered with blood. A receptacle with a quantity of blood in and about it on the floor was to be seen, and bloody finger marks were observable upon the white bedspread. A bloody collar was found upon the floor with one buttonhole torn out and the neck button still attached to the collar. On the table was a pitcher containing water, an empty tumbler and by its side and upon the table spread was discovered some morphine. This was purchased of G. W. Fuller & Son A few days previous. Upon further search to notes were found, once sealed and directed to his son, W. H., Jr., and the other, written upon the back of an advertising bill was without direction, date or signature. It read as follows: "If I am not dead when you find me, did not try to restore me as I have decided not to live." When the room was first entered the lamp was still burning. An examination of the deceased by Coroner Caldwell and Drs. F. S. and A. S. Low, revealed five punctures in the neck, one of whom had wounded the internal jugular. In the opinion of these gentlemen death was caused by loss of blood and syncope. The jury summoned by the coroner, viewed the body and then adjourned until Monday morning, at which time the inquest was held in Dr. Caldwell's office, and the facts, substantially as above narrated where it elicited. The witnesses sworn were, W. H. Gray, John Preston, Charles Halsey, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Lester, Jr., Edward Gray, Adelbert Bushnell, Drs. F. S. and A. S. Low, and Mrs. S. Mason and daughter. The jury returned a verdict of the following effect: That deceased came to his death by a wanted the right side of the neck, severing the internal jugular vein, causing hemorrhage, which, with the use of a dose of morphine, produced fatal syncope, and that said wound was deliberately inflicted by his knife in his own hand with suicidal intent.

| 16441 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 21, 1869 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died, January 15, Deacon Simon Meacham, aged _ years, at his residence in this village. The deceased was born in Pawlet, Vermont, November 17, 1782. He traces his ancestral line directly back to one of the most illustrious names of the Mayflower memory, his mother being no less than the granddaughter of that noble Puritan hero, Captain Miles Standish. She was distinguished, not only for superior intellectual ability and force of character, but also for purity of her piety and the in_ity of Christian devotion. From her he received that large intellectual capacity and that religions culture which have made him solid in judgment and noble in character. In a New England _, and a Christian household, where he daily heard the father's voice in reading of the Scriptures and in reverent prayer, where the mother breathed into his young heart her own sacred love of truth and of God, he was placed in the most favorable circumstances for forming a true symmetrical Christian character. At the early age of sixteen years he made a public consecration of himself by uniting with the church of Christ. In the spring of 1805 he came to this town in company with an older brother, John Meacham, and a brother-in-law Mr. Ephriam Brewster, now residing in Ellisburg. They went back together in the fall, remaining in Pawlet during the winter. It was at this time that he was married to his wife, recently deceased, June 24th, 1867. Before their return, a church was organized, consisting of seven members. In the spring they all returned, accompanied by the father and mother of John and Simon. They located on a farm about two and a half miles north of this village. In June, 1817, the deceased was chosen to fill the office of deacon in the Congregational Church of this place. To the duties of this office, he brought superior intellectual abilities, soundness of judgment, integrity of character, firm Christian principle and the confidence and respect of all his brethren He was regarded is the main pillar of the church, and was accustomed to perform the services of lay worship, in the absence of a minister. His devotion to the church in which, by the purity of his life and the generosity of his support, he was both a pillar and an ornament, was well attended by his gift towards the erection of its present house of worship of more than one tenth its entire cost, thus virtually constituting it to a monument to his memory. That gift, to his honor be it said, was made not as a bequest, when death had relaxed forever his grasp upon all earthly possessions, when he could retain them no longer, it was made while living, it was made in the feebleness and helplessness of old age, when the ability to labor and to gain was paralyzed by decrepitude, when he must depend for the remainder of his life on what he already possessed, a condition which is presented often as an excuse for withholding altogether the gift of benevolence, especially where wealth no larger than his is the only resource for life's remaining days. With a Christian trust in Providence and a noble generosity of heart, he made his magnificent gift, showing how Christian principle was working out its appropriate effects in his character. Commonly, universally in the unregenerate heart, the spirit of avarice strengthens with old-age, but here we see the Christian spirit of benevolence maturing, ripening, and showing _. The evidences of a ripening Christian character were most evident in his later years. The old, as a general fact, especially the worlding, grow more irritable, petulant and complaining in the feebleness of old-age, but it is not thus with him. He grew more and more patient, gentle, kind and forbearing. There was no morbid sensibility, no looking back on the past with complaining regrets for the good times gone, but, like the patriarch of whom the apostle speaks. His look was forwarded an upward, from earth to that city whose builder and maker is God eternal in the heavens, confessing not only, but rejoicing in the fact that he was a Pilgrim and sojourner here. Here was indeed a character that was developed into noble proportions. Nature did for him what it does for few men. It gave him the largest capacities of a spiritual life. He possessed great volume of brain. His was a head for an artist. Few men carry such a brain. Its remarkable volume allied it to a class commonly called Websterian. It always gives what it gave to that renowned mental giant, great soundness of judgment, breadth of views, fullness of comprehension. Such men make very few mistakes. They may not have what men call brilliancy, they are not erratic and visionary, least of all babbling and garrulous, but sound and sensible. They are characterized by sterling common sense. Our reverend and now departed father was of that class. No one could meet him, even in the feebleness of his old-age, without feeling that God had set his stamp there, to let everyone know that here was a man. There were striking characteristics that met the eye. That high, full forehead, especially in the coronal region fuller than at the base, which made one feel that his higher and nobler capacities were well created and well developed; that straight, manly and symmetrical face, told the observer that here was a perpendicular man, a man of integrity, with no _, no windings, no subtleties or in him, a man who asked what was right and stood to fit indices true love life and action. And those capacities were vivified and purified by the power of Christianity and developed by the culture of a long and earnest life. The value of a long life consists in this, that it is protracted and completed discipline, working out more perfectly the results of purification and development of character. It gives a mature, ripened Christian character. And, as we stood by his dying bed and felt the perfect composure yet august solemnity of the scene, no despairing grief of friends, no anxiety about the departing one, we felt that this fulfills the true conception of a Christian deathbed. As we stood, thinking of that life so complete and true, we could hardly restrain ourselves from breaking out in acclaim bidding joy to the departing soul as it went up to its grand triumphal coronation, hailing it as we would the noble conqueror entering the regal city, attended by the trophies of his victories, to receive the welcome of his Sovereign. Here, with no doubting heart, we can say without fear, the soul goes up to its heavenly mansion. Christianity has done its ennobling work. It has expanded and purified the soul. It has enlarged and ennobled, as well as chastened his affections. Like "a shock of corn fully ripe," he is gathered unto the garner of God. | Meacham, Simon (I21147)

| 16448 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 22, 1891 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In this village, January 14, 1891, Mr. Augustus Harmon. The deceased was born February 15, 1818. His father, Deacon Thaddeus Harmon, was one of the founders of the Congregational church in this village, and also one of its first deacons. He laid the cornerstone of the first church edifice erected here in 1828, having previously brought with him the church records containing the Constitution, Articles of Faith and organization of the church itself originally formed in Pawlet, Vermont, accompanying the colony from that place which is located here. The maiden name of the mother of the deceased was Miss Dorcas Young, who was the third wife of Deacon Harmon. The deceased was married May 10, 1849 to Miss Elizabeth Sherwood. The place and homestead of his decease was also the place of his birth. As a lifelong resident he was necessarily well-known in this community and always profoundly esteemed for his purity and integrity; for his unswerving uprightness in every transaction of business; for his great kindness of heart and generous helpfulness is a neighbor and a citizen; for his faithful attendance on the services of the sanctuary and cordial support of its worship according to his means; for his strict temperance, not only in his complete abstinence from all intoxicating drinks, but temperance in speech and conduct, exercising constant control of his temper as well as his tongue. High-minded as well as pure minded, charitable in his judgments, never surmising evil, not only industrious but laborious to an extent rarely equaled. The gossip of the street had no charm for him, and he never mingled in it, but ever devoted to his home, he there spent regularly his evening hours. He was a striking illustration of the power of heredity in a religious ancestry, and the profound and permanent influence of an early religious training in forming character even in the absence of a religious profession. This profession he made in his last sickness, because as he said, "He wished to leave behind him the testimony of his faith of heart, and of its trust in the Savior as his Redeemer, as well as to partake of the sacrament." In perfect peace and tranquility of mind he committed his soul to the Divine Redeemer in his dying hours, repeatedly singing and endeavoring to same even after his voice failed him, the hymn beginning, "My Faith looks up to Thee, thou Lamb of Calvary." To his two surviving sons, he leaves the example of a noble Christian character, as well as the memory of a kind and indulgent father. To the bereaved wife the assurance that the strong bond of love consolidated by so many years of mutual devotion and affection which never knew the slightest strain, so perfect was the harmony of wedded life, is not broken by the temporary separation caused by death, but that in Christ the reunion is eternal. The funeral services were held at the residence of the deceased on Lake street. His former pastor, Rev. Dr. Douglas, officiating. | Harmon, Augustus (I20353)

| 16450 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 23, 1873 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on the 15th inst., Dr. Helen Fay Noyes, aged 70 years, 2 months and 15 days. Dr. Noyes was in former years, a practitioner in this village. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, January 30, 1873 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Obituary - There are yet residing in Pulaski and it's the 70, many who have pleasant recollections of Dr. Helon F, Noyes, who died at Milwaukee on the 15th day of January, 1873, where his son, F. W. Noyes, has for several years been in business. Dr. Noyes came to Pulaski over forty years since, a young man just entering upon his profession, and practiced in Pulaski about 25 years with great success. Soon after entering upon his profession, he assumed a superior position is a physician and surgeon and maintained a position at the head of the medical profession so long as he remained in Oswego County, and it can safely be said that but few persons more perfectly possessed the confidence of the public or the profession, and Dr. H. F. Noyes. As a man, he was open hearted and generous to a fault, with an unmitigated hatred of quackery and shams of all kinds, while adhering closely to the regular Allopathic school, he would as soon cured his patients with a few drops of distilled rainwater, if it could be done, as treat him with mel. Although his practice both as a physician and surgeon, might be styled the heroic, his heart was always open to the sufferings of his patients, and kindness in a sick room was always his characteristic. As a citizen he was public spirited, and was, to the extent of his means ever ready to assist in enterprises of public benefit He represented his town, we believe on several occasions, in the Board of Supervisors of Oswego County, and he in an eminent degree possessed the confidence of his townsman, and very many who yet survive will remember him with feelings of gratitude. kindness and affection. His disease was paralysis. For two years he had awaited death with calmness and fortitude. He was baptized at Christmas Day, 1871. He died in the full consciousness and belief of immortality, and the great doctrines of the Christian religion, which soothed his last hours and made grateful the change from a world of storms to that which he hopefully anticipated. | Noyes, Helon Faye (I56423)
