KILLED IN NORTH LYONS
FRED LOTZ STRUCK BY FALLING TREE TUESDAY MORNING
Was Engaged in Felling a Tree with His Son on Farm Two and a half Miles North of this Village when Struck by Limb Falling from Another Tree -
Death Resulted Instantaneously
Fred Lotz, one of the well-known residents of the country to the north of this village, met a violent death Tuesday morning of this week while at work on the Dunwell farm, two and a half miles north of Lyons. Mr. Lotz was working with his son at the time and had started to clear a piece of woodland. The two men had just felled a large tree with a cross cut saw and were standing near it. A very high wind was blowing at the time and this tore a branch from another tree standing near and this branch fell upon the head of the elder Lotz.
He was knocked to the ground and his son found him unconscious when he reached his side. In fact, it is a question whether he were not already dead. Death followed practically instantly. The accident is greatly deplored, not only in North Lyons, where the victim of the accident had the esteem of all who knew him, but throughout the town generally. Mr. Lotz was 62 years of age and the greater part of his life had been spent in this vicinity. He is survived by a wife and a number of children.

For many years, Dr. Moscrip served the Baptist Church as a faithful minister to many of its societies. His first pastorate was in this village, where he was ordained in October 1877, by the Baptist Church of Clyde. The following year he became pastor of the Baptist Church in Keokuk, Iowa.

GIRL VICTIMS OF FIRE BURIED SIDE BY SIDE
The second edition of last week's News contained a brief account of the destruction by fire, shortly after 5 p. m. on Wednesday, Dec. 22, of the Lyons high school building, entailing the direct loss of two live and the indirect loss of a third.
The young victims of the fire, Helen Baltzel, aged 12, and Elizabeth Burns, 13, were buried side by side in Elmwood cemetery, Lyons, at 3 p. m., Monday. The funeral, held at 2 o'clock, attained the dimensions of a civic ceremony, every place of business and factory at the county seat being closed. The Revs. Albert Heyd and A. A. Thomas officiated.
The interments, though so close together, were not on precisely the same lot, but the families had purchased adjacent plots, and the graves were separated by only a narrow partition of earth.
The recovery of the bodies did not take place till Friday, and then was a difficult matter, besides being very dangerous. Portions of the side walls had first to be town down, and then 150 railroad men, volunteers, went to digging with pick and shovel in the still burning ruins.
The body of the Burns girl was the first to be found. It was identified by means of a belt buckle of peculiar construction. Later Helen Baltzel's body was dug out only a few feet distant. Neither was recognizable, except for imperishable articles of clothing.
The two little girls, instead of following their teacher, as did the thirteen others of the class, directly from the gymnasium, where they had been practicing after school, ran back to a second floor cloakroom for their wraps. Then the flames cut them off, and they were quickly suffocated by heat and smoke. Two boy heard their scrams, but were driven back when they tried to reach them.
The fire spread with almost inconceivable rapidity, for the building was filled with intricate corridors, and its partitions and floors built of pie wood, the floors also being oiled. The cause of the fire is not known, but it started apparently in a cloak room on the second floor, or in a near-by closet. This was directly under the gymnasium.
Miss Lavinia A. Stoeber, of Rochester, the physical culture teacher, who was with the girls, is completely prostrated by the shock of the tragedy. She is at her home, and probably will be unable to teach again this year.
School will be resumed next week in temporary quarters, and, of course, a new building will have to be constructed as soon as possible, probably at a cost exceeding $200,000. The insurance on the old structure was only $50,000. The loss in the destruction of books, apparatus and relics exceeded $10,000.
The building had been criticised (sic) and all but condemned by the state department of education; it was over-crowded and admittedly not fireproof; but, like many another community, Lyons hesitated to rebuild, and now is paying the penalty.
The third victim of the fire was Jacob Keller, aged 60, a retired business man who more recently had conducted a boarding house near the school. Overcome by excitement, he suffered a heart attack and dropped dead just as he returned to his home.

VERY KINDLY OBITUARY IN PUBLISHER'S AUXILIARY
A recent number of the Publisher's Auxiliary continned (sic) the following kindly notire (sic) of the late Charles H. Thomas:
The Western New York newspaper field has suffered a great loss in the death of Charles H. Thomas, owner and editor of the Lake Shore News,Wolcott, N. Y. For forty years Mr. Thomas and his father before him edited the News. As a young man he had marked success as a report on a Buffalo (N. Y.) paper, and afterwards on the New York Sun and World. One of his neighbors says of him:
"His mental qualifications were far above the ordinary. He possessed a rare humor and a still rare love of the truth, and spared no pains to make his paper the accurate historian of his locality. The readers of the Lake Shore News always knew where its editor stood on any question of importance. He was no temporizer when a principle was involved and fought bravely to make Wayne county cleaner and better. Unusually honest and straightforward, he was the enemy of all pretense and hypocrisy. Though by nature reserved, he knew the meaning of friendship, and to those numbered his friends he gave a confidence and a loyalty which was unswerving. The press of our county will be none the braver or more honest now Charles H. Thomas of the Lake Shore News is gone."
Mr. Thomas had reached the age of 81 years. He is survived by his widow and four children.

His Birth Occurred in Jefferson County Ninety-seven Years Ago.
Kept His Health Up to Within a Short Time.
South Butler, March 8- Joseph H. Rising, the oldest resident of the town and probably of this part of the state, passed away Monday afternoon, aged 97 years. Mr. Rising had been in feeble health for some time, although able to be about the house and occasionally to go to town. His death was the result of a general breaking down due to old age.

Mr. Rising was born and his early life was spent in Jefferson county. He removed to a farm one and one-half miles southeast of South Butler about thirty years ago, where he had resided until a year ago, when failing health obliged him to give up the care of his farm and he removed to the village.
Mr. Rising had passed a busy life and continued his activity long past the age allotted to man to labor, and had accumulated a large property. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Butler Center, and was a constant attendant until his feeble state prevented.

BODY OF FRANK W. SMITH BROUGHT HERE FOR BURIAL
As briefly told in last weeks second edition, the body of Frank W. Smith, of No. 601(?) West 144th street, New York city, was brought to this village on the morning train from the east last Friday, and after funeral services in the Presbyterian church at 2 p.m. was interred in the Thompson family lot in Glenside cemetery. The pastor, Rev. Duncan Salmond, officiated, the body resting at the front of the church, before the pipe organ, which was, in a way emblematic of the musical life of the deceased.
From the old pipe organ - not the present one but its predecessor - Frank Smith in his young manhood drew strains so sweet that those who remember them declare that never since have they heard organ music which made an equal appeal to their sensibilities. It was the soul of the man playing, for nature had endowed him with a peculiarly exquisite feeling for music.
The deceased has resided in New York for many years, but was born and reared in Wolcott, where many remember him with affection, for he had a very kindly nature and most agreeable manners. He was the eldest son of the late Chauncey P. Smith.
Mr. Smith was ill only about a week, when his heart gave out. He was about 67 years of age.
Surviving in his immediate family are his widow, formerly Miss Nellie Thompson; two sons, Howard and Lee Smith, of New York, and a daughter, Mrs. Thomas Terris, of London, England, her husband being a large motion picture producer. They happened to be in New York on business at the time of Mr. Smith's death, and, with the other members of the family, accompanied the remains to Wolcott. Mrs. Howard Smith, who was visiting in Auburn, came here from there on Thursday afternoon.
None of the brothers and sisters was near enough to attend the funeral. The brothers are Clarence, of Sacramento, Cal.; Clayton, of Duluth, Wis., and Lee Smith, now living in a suburb of Boston. Three sisters, Belle, Cornelia and Jennie, are all married and living in the West, but Cornelia is widowed.
The family, after the funeral, went to visit relatives in Red Creek, and most of them later left for home. Lee Smith, however, came to Wolcott, with Fred R. Maloney, Saturday, and while calling on friends, slipped on West Main street and sprained his ankle. Mr. Maloney took him back to Red Creek where he received medical attention and was laid up for several days by the injury.

CLYDE LOSES ONE OF BEST KNOWN MEN IN DEATH OF JOHN LANE
John H. Lane, 72, died last Wednesday in Barber Hospital, Lyons, where he had been a patient for about 10 days.
The body was removed to the Bush & Mann home and taken on Friday to the home of Mrs. Ella Sheehan in DeZeng Street. Mr. Lane had made his home there for the last seven years. Previous to Mrs. Lane's death he owned a home in West Genesee Street.
Prayer services were conducted at the Sheehan home Friday night and Saturday morning, with the funeral mass taking place at 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning in St. John's Catholic Church, the Rev. Joseph V. Curtin officiating. Burial was in Maple Grove Cemetery. Among those present at the last rites were several nieces and nephews, Mr. Lane's nearest survivors.
The death of John Lane removed one of Clyde's best known men. He came here about 40 years ago from Honesdale, Pa., his birthplace. He was a glass blower by trade and well known by the men in that once flourishing industry here. In later years he worked at Lock 26 on the Barge Canal.
His death further reduced the surviving membership of the old Echo Club, a group of men who enjoyed many days together at the Echo cottage. On the day he was stricken with his last illness Mr. Lane was preparing for another weekend with the men, who knew him intimately as Jack Lane. Many people in Clyde will miss him but those men will feel his loss the greatest.

Miss Francis E. Caffyn, a well-known young lady in town, died Saturday morning, July 4th, at about ten o'clock at her residence, south of the village, of typhoid fever. She was but twenty-three years of age and has for the last year been attending the Albany Normal College, where she was taken ill four weeks ago.

Miss Caffyn was born and brought up in Palmyra and graduated in '89 from the Union school. Since then she has been studying hard with the ultimate intention of being a teacher. Hers was a lovely character and words fail to convey what a loss her many surviving relatives and friends sustain in her death. She was known and loved by all and her life was the means of heightening many around her. Her many friends join us in extending to the bereaved family our sincerest sympathy for their loss.

AMASA Q. MILLIMAN DIES AT HIS RED CREEK HOME
Amasa Q. Milliman, a long-time resident of Red Creek and one of the old Democratic war-horses of this section, died very suddenly of acute indigestion at his home in that village at 8:30 a. m. last Friday, Nov. 18. He had seemed in his usual health, but at 6 a. m. was awakened by a violent pain in his stomach.
He arose, and did what he could to relieve it, but at the end of a half hour returned to his bed and died almost immediately. He was 83 years of age, a son of the late Caleb Milliman, and was born in Butler, but most of his life had been spent in or near Red Creek.
Mr. Milliman came of a large family, all of whom, so far as is known, have preceded him to the grave. One brother, James, was last heard from at New Orleans, and may be living, but this is not thought likely.
His wife, a sister of C. F. VanValkenburg, of this village, is an invalid, having sustained several apoplectic strokes, the last in the spring of the past year. She is able to get about the house, but is still feeble. She has not gone to live with their only daughter and child, Mrs. John Caywood, of Red Creek.
The funeral was held from the house at 2:30 p. m., Friday, with interment in the Red Creek cemetery. The Rev. Mr. Curnow, the retiring Presbyterian minister of that village, officiated.
