Newark- William Ostrander, recently released from an insane asylum, became violent, set fire to his house and attempted to blow up the ruins with a charge of powder. When the firemen and police arrived he opened fire on them with a shotgun, but failed to hit any one, although one bullet pierced the sleeve of Chief Lapoint's coat. The police returned the shots and finally rushed Ostrander and bound him hand and foot. [Note: "Newark" refers to Newark NY newspaper. Location might be different.]

New 3/3/05   Most of us see on the census records that we're descended from farmers - but what did they raise or grow? Old agricultural catalogs and newspapers often print testimonial letters, useful for answering this question, and serving to place someone at a time and location between census years. These testimonial letters were printed in the April 1875 issue of The New Kirby Advertiser, "A Monthly Journal Devoted to the Interests of Farmers and Manufacturers," the promotional newspaper of D.M. Osborne & Co., of Auburn, NY, published by Knapp & Peck. The D.M. Osborne company was the precursor of the International Harvester company.

"The Most Profitable Machine to Buy."

LORENZO LAND writes our Agent at Newark, Wayne Co. N.Y.: "I take pleasure in expressing my satisfaction with the Kirby Combined Mower and Reaper. I have used the machine you sold me in the year 1868 in harvesting annually for seven years the crops of over seventy-five acres, and in my opinion it is not excelled, either as a mower or reaper, by any harvesting machine made. I have proved its good qualities in all kids and conditions of grain and grass and on rough and uneven ground, and were we to buy another machine it would be a Kirby. I know it may be safely depended on for good work, requiring very little repair, and not liable to any derangement in the field to interrupt and delay the harvest work. I recommend it to farmers as in my judgment the best machine in use and the most profitable one to buoy. I consider my machine good for ten years to come." "Will Out-last Two of any Two-wheel Machines."

HENRY HUMESTON, of Newark Wayne Co., N.Y., writes: "Seven years ago I bought a Combined Kirby machine, and I have since harvested with it annually from fifty to seventy-five acres of grain and grass. It has required by very little repair, and I wuld not part with the old machine for the best new two-wheel reaper there is made, for I think the Kirby will out-last any two of them. As for lightness of draft, reliability at all times and in all places, quality of work, and also for quantity of work, all I have to say is, let some one who has a two-wheel machine go into the field with me and I will satisfy him that he made a mistake when he bought it."

At Clyde on Thursday, Mrs. Kate Holland, aged seventy-two years, was run over by the cars while crossing the Central's track. One of her legs was cut off. Her husband was recently killed near the same place.

Another suicide within a few months has occurred in Ontario, Wayne county. Mrs. Burtram, the mother of the young man of that name who shot himself dead a few weeks ago, committed suicide by hanging herself in a barn on the 13th instant. Insanity is given as the cause of the act. The woman had been known to have a tendency to suicide for some time.

Newark, May 28- Merrill Hartle, 22, son of Mr. and Mrs. Loey Hartle of Stuerwald Ave. and George Powers, 24, son of Philip Powers of Manchester, were killed instantly yesterday morning at 1 o'clock at Greene's crossing, east of Walworth on the New York Central Railroad, when the automobile they were driving crashed into a fast eastbound freight train. Hartle and Powers were employed in repairing the Palmyra Hotel and both had visited a restaurant at Palmyra at midnight. No one witnessed the tragedy. The car, owned and driven by Hartle smashed into the side of the freight train, derailing the fifth and sixth cars ahead of the caboose, ripping up a switch and tearing up 100 railroad ties. The freight came to a stop and while the trainmen were trying to discover the cause of the accident the flagman discovered the wrecked automobile and found the bodies about two hours later, one 50 feet east of the crossing, and the other 75 feet distant. Coroner Arthur Mepham of Ontario and Dr. C. C. Nesbitt of Palmyra investigated. The bodies were taken to the undertaking parlors of Silver & Cady, Palmyra and later Hartle's body was removed to Parker's undertaking parlors at Newark and Powers body was taken to Shortsville. Coroner Mepham stated he would conduct an inquest at 4 p.m. tomorrow. Both boys had fractured skulls.

James Waterman, of Walworth, Wayne county, now seventy-three years of age, was one of the pilots of the Fulton, the first steamboat (except that of John Fitch) which ever navigated the waters of the Hudson. Her first trip was in October, 1807. She couldn't have been very fast, for Mr. Waterman says that he could have "given her a mile start, and then overtaken her with a canoe.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AT LYONS - Mrs. William Fohs, residing at No. 58 Montezuma street, tried to commit suicide by taking laudanum yesterday. Her attempt was unsuccessful.

Considerable sympathy is expressed for the family of the would-be-suicide.

Information abstracted from old Degree of Pocahontas Improved Order of Red Men booklets.

Seegwun Council No. 87 was the Palmyra NY council of the Degree of Pocahontas, the women's affiliate of the Improved Order of Red Men. This was the only active council in the county, and there were no other councils in Ontario or Seneca Counties in 1917. That year Seegwun, No. 87 had a membership of 65 and met the 1st and 3rd Mondays, Palmyra. Addie M. Wood, 9 Clinton Street, Palmyra, N.Y.

In 1917 the Past Pocahontas' were Julia Fennell, Addie M. Wood, Laura L. Trumbull, Florence Harding, Laura Bavis, Carrie Anslinger, Hattie Wood, Anna Mae Burns, Maria Van Lare. (this list has different members than 1915, possibly representing living P.P.'s or those who were still members of this particular Council)

In 1915 Seegwun Council No. 87 met the 1st and 3rd Mondays, Palmyra. Addie M. Wood, 48 Jackson Street, Palmyra, N.Y. As of 1915, the Past Pocahontas' were Alice E. Palmer, Julia Fennell, Addie M. Wood, Laura L. Trumbull, Florence Harding, Laura Bavis, Carrie Anslinger, Cynthia Sabedra, Lavina Calhoun, Hattie Wood, Nellie Coughlin, Anna Mae Hickey, and Anna M. Burns.

WETHEY - FOSTER NUPTIALS

M. Elizabeth Wethey and Roland S. Fos-
ter were Married at the Bride's
Home Saturday Evening.

A quiet, but pretty wedding was solemnized at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore C. Wethey on Wellington Ave. Saturday evening when their only daughter, Martha Elizabeth, was united in marriage to Roland Stearns Foster by Rev. F.A. Storer, pastor of the Congregational church. The bride was attired in the wedding dress worn by her mother of white brocaded satin. She was attended by her friend, Miss Leona Bacon, who wore a pink silk dress with silver trimming. Miss Marjorie Streeter of Wolcott, a cousin of the bride, was ring bearer. The groom was attended by his friend, George Aikens of South Butler.

As the bridal party entered the parlor Miss Florence Foster, a sister of the groom, played Mendelsohn's wedding march. The ceremony was performed in the presence of about 35 guests, who were immediate relatives or close friends of the contracting parties. Following the wedding service a wedding dinner was served, after which the newly married couple left on an evening car for a trip to New York City amid showers of rice and good wishes from their friends.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Foster are two prominent young people of Savannah. They are members of the Congregational church and are active members of the choir in that church. Mrs. Foster graduated from Savannah High School last June and has taught school since that time. She is an accomplished and talented young woman and one of the most popular and best liked girls of Savannah.

Upon the return from their wedding trip the young couple will make their home with the groom's mother on Seneca St.

SUDDEN DEATH AT LYONS - The Lyons Republican notices the sudden death of Eva Van Wie, aged ten years, on Wednesday. She was apparently in good health Tuesday morning, and playing about as usual.

From Ontario Messenger 13 April 1859

A young man named Charles E. Reed, residing at Sodus, Wayne Co., accidentally shot himself on the 24th ult., while out hunting. The whole charge of the gun was lodged in his right shoulder and side. He lived some 43 hours in great distress, when death came to his relief. He lacked only 14 days of being 21 years old.

MURDER AT WILLIAMSON, WAYNE CO. - We learn from the Palmyra Courier that on Thursday, the 14th inst., two men, Jeremiah Demelt and Thos. Dunlap, the latter being intoxicated, got into a dispute at Williamson, Wayne Co., and after some altercation Dunlap struck Demelt on the head with a club, felling him to the earth and shattering his skull. Demelt died on Monday last. The murderer has fled, but it is thought the officers in pursuit will soon be able to arrest him. Dunlap has been known for a long time as a desperate character, it being rumored that he had previously caused the death of two other men in drunken fights. The deceased lived in the same house with Dunlap, in the town of Williamson. They were each about fifty years of age. Great excitement prevails in the community. The murderer is supposed to be in the woods near the scene of his crime.
