THE WOLCOTT COURIERWednesday, June 1, 1904Transcribed and Contributed by Diana Niedermeier The following was transcribed from the The Wolcott Courier, a newspaper published in Wolcott, N.Y. containing detailed local news about eastern and northern Wayne county. All first and surname spellings are as in the original. Many, many thanks to Diana Niedermeier for her many hours of transcribing, and contributing for our enjoyment! THE WOLCOTT COURIER DEATH OF ROSCOE PHILLIPS Roscoe J. youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. A.B. Phillips of North Wolcott, died at their home last Wednesday afternoon,May 25th, 1904, at 3:45 0'clock; his age was 9 years, 10 months and 1 day, being born in Butler on July 24th, 1894. About two years ago the little fellow complained of slight pains in his limbs, but the parents thinking it was the result of play advised him not to play too roughly and let it pass. Later on the boy was stricken down with fever from which he was very sick. Eight months ago he was taken with what was called rheumatic fever from which he did not recover, being able to step on his feet by twice during the time. Little Roscoe Phillips was truly an exception among children of today, inasmuch as his sole aim during his young life was to shrink from every evil both in action and words. We are told by his parents that never had they even heard a slang word escape his lips. His mind seemed to be always on doing and being good, and during his eight months suffering, he was patient to the last. Just before he breathed his last, he raised his eyes to his mother and whispered something. Not understanding his words, she asked him what he said, and fixing his eyes upon some visionary object, he said: "Near the boat, mamma, near the boat". She repeated the words after him in a questioning tone, and he moved his head in assent, and his little soul entered the boat and was borne away. The funeral was held from the house on Friday at 11:00 o'clock a. m., Rev. M.S. Mowers, pastor of the North Wolcott M.P. church officiating. Burial was made in the Thorn cemetery. The bereaved parents desire through our columns to express their sincere thanks to all who kindly assisted them through the sickness and death of their child, and for the deep sympathy extended to them in their sorrow. LOCAL AND OTHERWISE The residence of Thomas Kerr on Wright street is up and fast nearing completion. The walls for the Baptist personage and the residence of Chars. Moore both on New Hartford street, are completed and the other work will be rapidly pushed along. A telegram was received in Rose last week announcing the death by drowning of Arthur Miner, second son of Mr. and Mrs. William Miner which occurred at Traverse City, Mich., last Thursday morning. He was 30 years of age and is survived by his parents Mr. and Mrs. William Miner, and four sisters, Mrs. Edward C. Kiley of Rose, Mrs. Ira Caster of Red Creek, and Misses Jennie and Flora of Rose, and two brothers, Irving and Leon, also of Rose. The remains will be brought home for burial. The business men at Sodus Point have taken an important step. At a meeting held at the Loney Hotel they ormed the Sodus Point Business Men's Association last week. C.J. Hopkins was chosen secretary and chairman of the society, and the following general committee was appointed: Captain W.H. Fields, representing the steamboat interests, C.J. Hopkins, representing the railway interest, C.T. DoVille, representing the rowboat interests, and J.M. Loney, representing the hotel interests. The object of the association is to furnish attractions at Sodus Point the coming summer. Heretofore the attractions have been extremely limited, and the men have not worked in unison. They have now taken action which means the puplic(sic) will be better served, and the business men will reap good results. To show how well the Sodus Point men are working together all that need be mentioned is the fact that it took only five minutes at the meeting to raise $115. POMONA GRANGE The June session of the Wayne County Pomona Grange will be held in Red Creek Wednesday, June 22. The work of conferring the degree will take place in the afternoon, and an open session will be held in the evening.

Visitors will be cared for during their stay by members of the local Grange. DRIED APPLE KING A photograph of A.B. Williams of Sodus, was printed in the Syracuse Sunday Herald of a week ago with the following interesting sketch of his business life, which we copy believing it will be of interest to many of our readers. "For more than thirty years Alexander B. Williams of Sodus has been known as the "Dried Apple King." During that time he has handled 200 carloads of evaporated fruit annually, or more than $25,000,000 worth. Of late many others have gone into the industry and are now doing a large business. This has added to the business interests of this section and combined to make the territory along Lake Ontario between Charlotte and Oswego the greatest evaporated fruit district in the world. The fruit ranks the finest in the world and won the principle medals at the Paris exposition. Mr. Williams had a special display at the fair, and he received many orders from notable men of Europe asking for small packages of the fruit, which they wished to keep as souvenirs. For twenty years Sodus has been the center of the dried fruit industry and Mr. Williams name has been known thoughout the civilized world. Men have traveled many miles to see him because of his reputation. The business was first introduced here by Mr. Williams and it has now reached many States, scores of men going from Wayne county to various States each year to instruct others. The Legislature recently passed a measure to protect the industry and the bill was signed by Governor Odell. It is done to keep the fruit pure and to sustain New York State's reputation abroad. Mr. Williams was born in Sodus and spent his boyhood days upon a farm. Then he became a clerk, receiving only $4 a month for his service, which compelled him to arise at 4 o'clock in the morning and prepare the United States mail, which then left by stage, and he was also obliged to wait until late at night for the stage to return with the mail from Rochester. When 20 years old he went to Saginaw, Mich., where he added to his knowledge of the mercantile business. He returned to Wayne county and opened a general store. Mr. Williams daily attends to his duties despite his advanced years. He is a great believer in exercise, walking many miles each day. His health is splendid. Between the evaporated fruit business and his general store he has amassed a fortune. PERSONAL HAPPENINGS Dr. Tillapaugh was in Altmar this week on business.

A NARROW ESCAPE Dr. Tillapaugh came near having a serious accident Monday, but as it was, it resulted in a broken buggy. He was crossing the railroad north of the village and seeing a train close upon him, he touched his horse with the whip, whereupon the animal sprang ahead with such force as to wrench the thill from the wagon; but the vehicle was cleared from the track in time to save a total destruction of the buggy and the death of the doctor, for had he delayed an instant, the locomotive would have been upon him. MRS. ELIZABETH SHERMAN, INJURED Monday, morning as Mrs. Sherman of this village, returned to Wolcott on the 7:12 train,she alighted from the 'bus in front of the postoffice and in stepping upon the walk from the street she slipped and fell on the walk striking her shoulder in such a manner as to severely wrench it. Drs. Horton and Robertson were standing near by and both hurried to her assistance, the latter taking her into the postoffice and making an examination, but could not locate any bones broken, although she appeared to be in considerable pain about her arm and shoulder. She was afterwards taken to her home by Mr. Metcalf and thus far we have learned no serious results. FUNERAL OF BESSIE BARRICK The funeral of Miss Bessie Barrick Friday afternoon was the largest of any held in this vicinity for a long time. The services at the house were attended by a throng of people, the procession upon leaving the place being fully a half mile in length. It was, indeed, a sad spectacle, the entire attendance being sorrowing mourners. The floral offerings were something beautiful, consisting chiefly of the choicest cut flowers arranged both in handsome bouquets and appropriate pieces. The casket was re-opened at the cemetery for those to view the remains who were unable to go to the house. The scene was an affective one thoughout; all who looked for the last time upon the face of the dead girl turning away with grief from the casket. Six your ladies and six your gentleman from the Wolcott High School walked beside the casket and acted as bearers as they reached the cemetery.

ITEMS AROUND HOME Ellery Delling of North Wolcott sold a horse to Mr. Barrus of Fair Haven, last week. Samuel Perry has made a vast improvement(sic) in the appearance of his premises on East Port Bay street by grading and seeding the front yard leading down to the street. T.G.Henderson has bought out the Dobbin milk route and now conducts the entire business in Wolcott. The deal was closed the past week, Mr. Dobbin accepting an offer made by Mr. Henderson some time ago. Hiram Frazer informs us that one of his neighbors beats the record in the time of hatching chickens. The hen was set and in four days from the time she was put on the eggs she came off with a brood of your chicks. It seems that another hen had started the work before, however. No new cases of small-pox in Wolcott and the quarantines have all been raised, therefore everything appears to be quiet and the town is ready for other excitement. What will it be? Dr. Housten informs us that the wife of Truman Warner of Huron, is down with the disease and is in a bad condition; he also reports the child of Mr. Warner as being sick with it, also the wife of John Warner. AMONG THE CHURCHS The Ladies' Aid of the Baptist church will meet with Mrs. John Palmer at her home on Lake avenue Tuesday afternoon, June 7th. OUR SICK LIST William Chappell of North Wolcott, is still very sick. R.H. Kelly's condition does not improve very much; he is yet unable to sit up. Some time ago Mrs. Nicholas Vought received quite a severe injury by a horse stepping on her foot; she is much better now, but we learn she has been unable to step on it for some time and has suffered considerable pain from the bruise. We are informed that a letter has been received from the superintendant of Willard hospital stating the outlook in the case of James M. Knowlton, who was sent to that institution some time ago, from Butler, is very unfavorable and it is thought he will always continue in that same state of delusion as when taken there. WOLCOTT COURIER DEATH OF BEATRICE CHAPPLE Word was received here Monday announcing the death of Miss Beatrice Chapple, who was taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. G.W. Ball, at Hilton, last week. Her death occurred about 1:00 o'clock Monday. She was 29 years of age. Although deceased had been a resident of this country but a few years, she had gathered about her a large circle of admiring friends, who have always taken a kindly interest in her welfare and especially during her illness. Her mild disposition and winning manners in her everyday life made for her a warm place in the hearts of all who had occasion to meet her. She was an apt musician and made this her business for a livelihood until sickness deprived her of this means of support but, as has been stated heretofore in the COURIER, friends contributed freely both by money and attention in her behalf; and in talking with A.B. Sabin yesterday, he said "The only thing I have to regret is that we ever allowed her to leave our home, as I truly believe and am positive that had she remained with us and received the proper care which she needed, she would have lived much longer." It was thought the young lady was improving after being taken to Hilton, and the following card was received by Mrs. Sabin from Mrs. Ball last week, which Mr. S. requests us to print: "Just a line to say that Kittie is feeling quite a little better. She wishes me to say she will write to you as soon as she is a little stronger, the weakness caused by the neglect being quite apparent still." But she did not gain the strength to carry out her plans; her life was too far gone, and the friends who were so kind to her during her illness can only think and be assured that their work was heartily appreciated by herself and friends. Besides being a graduate of the London musical college, Miss Chapple was also a talented artist, and Mr. Sabin has a picture she painted and presented to him which fully illustrates her knowledge in this art. Mr. Sabin had engaged Mrs. Sarah Madan to go to Hilton and care for Miss Chapple, but death claimed her to soon. The funeral will be held from the Ball home at Hilton to-day. Several from this place will attend. WAYNE PROHIBITIONISTS The Wayne county Prohibitionists held their county convention in Elliott's hall Thursday. The convention was called to order by O.M.

Arrested for Wife Beating G.A. Durgey, who opened up a blacksmith business in the Tyrrell shop across the creek recently, was arrested last night for choking and otherwise abusing his wife. The warrant was sworn out by neighbors. The Durgeys live in the Noah Wood house on Williams street and considerable complaint has been made heretofore, but last night the trouble reached that point where the patience of neighbors was exhausted and the complaint was made, but before Officer Prevost could reach the place, Durgey had left for the railroad where he tntended(sic) boarding the train. The constable in company with John Conway got a rig and hurried to the depot arriving just as the train was about to leave. The conductor was requested to hold the train a moment and the men boarded the train. Conway grappled with Durgey and a fierce struggle ensued, in which the prisoner displayed strength and agility that was surprising. He was at last overpowered and brought to the lock-up where he was kept over night. The examination will be held this morning before Justice Fanning. It is said that Mr. Durgey's business outlook was very promising, and he would have done well in his shop, but the quarrelsome disposition in his family is more than this peaceable neighborhood could endure. Officer Prevost visited the prisoner this morning and found him in a very penitent mood. Strong talk of violence to him was exhibited about town last night, the excitement was so high.
