D. C. Mahaffy, O. V. Davis, W. C. Holmes, Corn. Newspaper Article - Thursday, March 28, 1889 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Tribute of Respect - At a stated convocation of Pulaski Chapter No. 279, Royal Arch Masons, held in Masonic Hall, March 25, 1889, it was resolved that the following tribute to the memory of Companion John Washburn, who died suddenly March 16, 1889, be spread upon the minutes of said Chapter, also, but a copy thereof be sent to the Pulaski Democrat for publication, and transmitted to the family of the deceased Companion. Death, the disrupter of all human time, has for the first time since our organization, interposed his sable wings between us and one whom we called Companion, darkening our eyes so that we may not look again, in all our Earth journey into the kindly face of him whom we were wont to greet beside our altar. The language of eulogy fails to appease the newfound grief; but it tends to relieve the heart of its burden of duty to the memory of our dead. Our dead Companion was one of those whom to meet, whether in the concourse at the Lodge or Chapter, or in the quiet walks of daily life, gave a thrill of pleasure as his warm greeting, the firm compress of his hand, the smile of heartfelt gladness that grew upon his face and brightened his eyes, bespoke an honest nature, and an intense interest that won upon and endeared him to all with whom he was brought in contact. And especially was this so with those whom he called Companions. Although one of the younger among us, he was in full sympathy and accord with us, and with the aims and objects of our institution; holding them close and proud to be numbered among us. My companions, the clock upon the tower strikes high twelve to unresponsive ears; there is, for him, no longer a plan laid upon the treatie board of time, and the fraternal heart and hand have ceased to avail, while his absence from among us admonishes that a little time will come to each one of us, when our Companions will look for us at our unaccustomed places, to find them vacant to us forever. May this, to him who has gone from our Companionship, be indeed a call from labor to refreshment, to a glorious rest in the Chapter of the great High Priest and King. "Rest, for the toiling hand, Rest, for the tired brow; Rest, for the weary sin sick soul, Rest, from all labor now." | Washburn, John U (I69936)

Mr. Chauncey McKinney, died Monday, March 24th, at 4 o'clock p.m.. He was only sick about one week, the physician pronounced it typhoid pneumonia. Deceased was 75 years old, he seemed to have a presentment from the first that he would not be any better in this world and was willing and ready to go. He had been Deacon in the Congregational Church of this place for many years. His presence will be missed very much. Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, April 10, 1879 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Died - McKinney - In Orwell, New York, March 24th, 1879, after a brief illness, Chauncey McKinney, in the seventy-sixth year of his age. Deacon McKinney was for more than fifty years a well-known and much esteemed resident of Oswego County. Born in Tolland, Connecticut, in 1803, in 1828 he married Miss Sophia D. Hunt, and together they started immediately to make a home in the wild and sparsely settled town of Redfield, New York, where a few Connecticut people had preceded them. They found there two church organizations; and in 1831 Mr. McKinney made a profession of faith in Christ, and united with the Presbyterian Church of Redfield, which the writer believes to be the oldest church in Oswego County. A residence of thirty-seven years in that town endeared him to a very large circle of friends. A member and trusted officer of the church, his daily life witnessed to the genuineness of his Christian profession, and found him devoted to the interests of his Redeemer's kingdom. In 1866, he removed to the adjoining town of Orwell. There himself and his son, Mr. Dwight McKinney, united their interests in the purchase and occupancy of one of the finest farms in that prosperous town. He was soon chosen deacon of the Congregational church in Orwell, in the same sterling qualities of conscientiousness, honestly, kindness of heart, and faithfulness to Christian principle, made his service in the church invaluable, and gave him a social influence in the town which was pronounced and widely felt. All esteemed him, all loved him; and upon the day of his funeral it was a gathering of genuine mourners that crowded his home to pay the last tribute of respect to their honored dead. Although seventy-five years of age, he was not removed by his years from an active interest in all that concerned the welfare of this town. Almost to the day of his death his counsel was sought, and his service offered to his townsmen, in the project of church improvement. He passed away quietly and peacefully. The Redeemer in whom he humbly trusted had robbed death of his terror and his sting. Deacon McKinney leaves a widow with whom he spent more than fifty years of wedded life, two sons, and a married daughter, Mrs. A. G. Stowell of Mexico, New York.OA | McKinney, Chauncey (I72849)

He first engaged in teaching school, in that part of the town now known as Colosse, where he resided until the declaration of war, in 1812, when he enlisted in the army, as a sergeant, in the company of Capt. Richard Goodell, then of Adams, in the county of Jefferson. For most of the time, during the war, he acted as orderly sergeant, and recruiting officer, and was located in different parts of the State, and, having the entire confidence of his superior officers, to him important trusts were often confided. After the close of the war he returned to Colosse, and, _, he married Miss Roxana Barnes, daughter of Rev. Gamaliel Barnes, a Baptist clergyman, and about the same time he engaged in the mercantile business and got a post office established at that place, and received the appointment of Postmaster, which office he held for many years. About the year 1824 he raised a rifle company at Colosse, and vicinity, and was appointed captain, which office he held for some years, when he was appointed major, and subsequently Colonel of the Rifle Regiment. As a military man and officer, Col. Torrey was distinguished for his martial spirit, correct and prompt action, and soldier like deportment, and, as an efficient and precise drill officer, and thorough disciplinarian, he had no superiors in the county. In 1836, he was appointed Surrogate of this county, which office he held for the term of nine years, when he resigned. He has, also, held the office of Supervisor of the town, and various other town offices, the duties of all which were faithfully discharged. In early life he attached himself to the Methodist Church, and for many years was class leader and exhorter; and was also licensed to preach. As a Christian, he was exemplary, zealous and sincere; as a husband and father, kind and affectionate; as a friend, ardent and confiding; as a citizen, public spirited and patriotic; as a neighbor and man, obliging, lonest and upright; and, in all his business and intercourse with society, he was governed by the strictest principles of rectitude and integrity. In politics he was always a staunch and consistent Democrat of the national conservative school; and in all the ups and downs of party, and vacillations of party men, he maintained his integrity, untarnished. As a member of the Masonic Fraternity, he was a true and faithful craftsman; and when his works are brought up for inspection, they will, undoubtedly, be approved by the Gen. Architect of the Universe. In short, it may truly be said of him, that all the duties _ devolved on him, in every station and relation of life, whether public or private, whether _ or political, religious or military, were conscientiously discharged by him, with faithfulness and fidelity. But his labors on earth are o’er. His mo_ career is closed; after a long and useful life of more “than three score years and ten,” has taken his departure for “that undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveler returns,” - “where the wicked cease from troubling, and the weary are at rest.” Yet the memory of his virtues will still live, and be embalmed in the hearts of his many relatives and friends. The complaint which terminated his earthly existence, was that dread disease, the cancer. In the whole catalogue of “ills which human flesh is heir to,” none is more dire, more _ and fatal. When its fangs are once fastened on its object there is no release. Its doomed victim is literally eaten up alive, inch by inch. For many dismal nights, and months, and years, did Col. Torrey suffer all the pains and horrors of this dire disease, and yet he murmured not. Through the whole period of his dreary confinement, he bore his sufferings with true Christian patience and resignation. In all his afflictions and trials, he was sustained by that “hope which is an anchor to the soul, both sure and steadfast,” while that living “faith, which worketh by love and purifies the heart,” eliminated his pathway “through the dark valley and shadow of Death,” and pointed with unerring certainty to the realms of unfading bliss, beyond the confines of the darksome tomb. To him, Death has no terrors. It was rather a welcome messenger, a harbinger of eternal rest and peace; and he bade adieu to all things here below, with the blissful assurance of the immortal joys in the mansions of his Heavenly Father, where, we doubt not, he received the welcome plaudit of “well done, good and faithful servant, enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” - S. -Pulaski Democrat. | Torrey, Joseph (I70002)

| 16694 | Newspaper Obituary - Thursday, March 31, 1892 Pulaski Democrat - Pulaski, New York - Dewey Childs Salisbury was born in Hamilton, Madison County, New York September 10, 1811. When thirteen years of age he moved to this town with his father's family. At the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to Luther Smith, owned a tannery on Mill street in this village. He remained with him until he attained his majority. For four years he wrought at his trade in different places. When he was 25 years old he married Miss Phoebe Ann Clark. At this time he formed a co-partnership with John McKinley and least the tannery at Sandy Creek. They carried on business for two years when the building caught fire and burned. He then moved to this town and bought the tannery where he continued to work during his business life. Before he had fairly commenced operations in his new purchase this building was burned. He immediately rebuilt and went forward with his work until 1877, when his tannery was again consumed by fire. He again restored the building and went forward with work for about five years, when he abandoned an active business life. During many years of his life he manufactured boots and shoes in connection with the tanning business. In 1860 this part of the business was assumed by his oldest son, Benjamin. Mr. Salisbury had been one of the active business man of this place, contributing his full share toward its material growth. Perhaps no man has done more for the development of Pulaski that Mr. Salisbury. His business gave employment to many men, and also furnished a market for bark and hides to all the adjacent country. For many years he was on the village Board of Trustees, always discharging his duties with fidelity. He was not only interested in the material prosperity of Pulaski, but also in its educational advantages When an Academy was to be built, he was one of the men selected for the accomplishment of the work. When the Union was endangered by the rebellion of the slave states, and men were called to the front to suppress it, Mr. Salisbury was active in his efforts to make up the requisite number of men for this town. In whatever capacity he was called to act, he met his obligations with great fidelity and ability. Perhaps nowhere has his life shone brighter than in his own home. He was the father of nine children, six sons and three daughters; eight of whom have grown to manhood and womanhood. His home was the center of a cheerful intelligence. Kind and affectionate, he delighted to make those happy around him and especially those of his own household. No effort within his power was too great to be put forth for the accomplishment of this object. His wife, three daughters and is eldest son were with him and his departure, and received his last goodbye. All of the family except one son were present at the funeral. In the death of Mr. Salisbury, the village suffers the loss of one who has been active in its business affairs and in the development of its material and educational resources. Since he retired from active business life this time has been spent in cultivation of his garden and in the affairs of his own home. | Salisbury, Dewey Childs (I19549)
