Local residents would have been interested in and sympathetic to Amelia's death. Palmyra was still part of Ontario County, and her father, Dr. Cyrenius Chapin, a hero of the War of 1812 in Western NY, and his family were residing in Geneva NY at the time.

Amelia and other family members' names are inscribed on the large modern Chapin family monument in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Buffalo, Erie County, NY, although all individuals listed might not be buried there. This article about her father says that when he passed away in 1838 he was buried in the cemetery where Erie County's Old County Hall was built in Buffalo in the 1870s. This was the Franklin Square Cemetery, the original burial place of many soldiers of the War of 1812.

Once Prominent at Sodus
Word was received at Sodus yesterday of the death of a former prominent resident of that village, Milton Granger, who died at Monterey, Mich., after an illness of several days, at the age of 89 years. The deceased was born February 11, 1812. When he reached the age of manhood he located at an Indiana town, and later moved to Michigan for a short time. Then he returned to Sodus, where for many years he was one of the leading business men of the village. He was also influential in the Democratic party. Miss Caroline Snow became his bride in 1858, but she died in 1875. Later he moved to Michigan. Those who survive him are two brothers, John M. Granger, of Allegan, Mich., and B. F. Granger, of Monterey, Mich., and two sisters, Miss J. J. Granger and Mrs. James McAlpine, of Monterey, Mich. There are numerous cousins and distant relatives in various Wayne county towns.

BROWN.- George Brown was born in Nottinghamshire, England, June 28, 1828, and died in El Cajon, Cal., July 4, 1903. When a young man twenty-one years of age he came to the United States, making his home in Sodus, N.Y. He joined the M. E. church at that place in 1851. Four years ago, when he came to El Cajon, he joined the Presbyterian church. He was a consistent church member for over fifty years.
NOTE: George Brown might be an example of an individual for whom Wayne County was a "stepping stone." or he might have been related to one of the other local immigrants from England of the mid-19th century time period. George arrived at a time when many Wayne County folks were still migrating to Michigan and selling their land to new immigrants. A look at the 1850 census pages on either side of Gamaliel Case's listing shows a striking clustering of farms belonging to fairly young English-born farmers in a circumscribed section of the Town of Sodus. Birthplaces of children indicate that the families arrived in the U.S. in the 1830s through late 1840s. Other neighboring households also employed single young laborers from England. George Brown might not have stayed in Wayne County for long, but following up on his story and migration pattern could be helpful to researchers following other Wayne County families of British heritage.
In the 1850 Sodus census, George Brown, age 22 and a common laborer, was residing with the large family of farmer Gamaliel Case.
In the 1860 census of Rubicon (P.O. Neosho), Dodge County, Wisconsin, farmer George Brown, age 32, b. England, wife Atlanta Brown, age 26, b. New Jersey, resided with Mary A. Brown, age 8, born Michigan.
George and Atalanta are mis-indexed in the 1870 census of Richland, Tama County (P.O. Helena), under surname "Bunn," although the handwriting clearly says "Brown." George, age 41, b. England, and able to vote, had a farm valued at $2500, and personal estate of $250. Atalanta's age is indexed as "86", which is exactly as it's incorrectly written on the census page. George was born England, Atalanta born New Jersey, and both sets of their parents were of foreign birth.
In the 1880 census of Richland, Tama County, Iowa, farmer George Brown, age 52, and wife Attie Brown, age 46, resided with nephew Wilas Brown, age 20, a laborer b. England.
In the 1885 Iowa state census, farmer George Brown, age 56, b. England and Atalanta Brown, age 50, b. New Jersey, resided in Richland, Tama Co., Iowa. They resided in the same place in 1895.
In the 1900 census of El Cajon, San Diego County CA, George Brown, age 71, born June 1828, resided with his wife Atalanta Brown, age 66, born May 1834 New Jersey, her parents born England. The couple had been married 48 years and it says that she had no children ever. George said he emigrated to the U.S. in 1850 and freely owned his own farm. In 1910, widow Atalanta resided alone in El Cajon, freely owned her own home, and had her own income. Some of daughter Mary A.'s children were residing in San Diego County when Mr. and Mrs. Brown relocated there. Information on daughter Mary A. Brown from an ancestry family tree states that she was born May 16, 1851 in Michigan, married Lewis Snyder Rosenberger, and between 1870 and 1885 had 5 children. According to the 1870 census of Richland, Tama Co. IA, 18-year-old Mary married in October 1869 and her parents were of foreign birth. Familysearch's database of Iowa marriages has a record of Lewis Rosenberger marrying Mary A. Speck on October 6, 1869 at Tama, Iowa. The Iowa birth record for one of their sons says that her maiden name was Mary A. Speck and she was b. Ohio. When this very same son applied for Social Security in 1937, he said his mother's name was Mary Brown. Did George Brown emigrate to Michigan and marry a young widow, or did they adopt Mary?

Chamberlain, the secretary of the cemetery association, maintained a determined war against Abert, and twice filled up the grave when he had it about completed.
Abert began the work Wednesday afternoon, and had excavated about two feet of earth when he quit for the night. Yesterday morning he was surprised to find the excavation filled up. He began again. When he had thrown about four feet of earth, Special Policeman D. E. Buell arrived and ordered him to desist. Abert kept on. A few minutes later Ritter and Kaiser appeared armed with shovels and began refilling the grave. Abert could not keep pace throwing out the dirt, and was obliged to get out. This operation was repeated.
By this time news of the trouble had reached uptown. When a Democrat and Chronicle correspondent he (sic) found a delegation of business men watching the proceeding, some of whom expression their epinion (sic) in plain language and assumed the responsibility of assuring a peaceable burial for Mrs. Allee at the proper time beside the remains of her husband and children. At the command of Sexton Royle (sic) the opposition forces withdrew, and Abert was permitted to continue his work. The burial was delayed but a few minutes.
Mrs. Allee was the last of her family. She was 88 years of age, and for twenty years had been totally blind. Upon the lot where her remains were buried yesterday are the graves of her husband, Jeremiah Allee, who died twenty years ago, and those of seven children, some of whom were buried there more than thirty years ago. Her son, Edward, of Company B. Twenty-seventh Regiment, New York Volunteer (sic), who died at Baltimore July 29, 1862, from the effects of a wound received at Gaines Mills, Virginia, two days before, is buried there. There also lie the remains of another son, George, a soldier of the One Hundred and Sixtieth New York Volunteers. Although of late the matter of titles to lots in the Rural cemetery has often become prominent is the talk of the village, it is not known that the ownership of the Allee lot had ever been questioned.
Mrs. George Allee, widow of one of the dead soldier sons above mentioned, is the only remaining representative of the family. Though in very modest circumstances she had cared well for her blind mother-in-law for many years and when the complications above recited set in she sought the advice of Attorney Charles T. Ennis. Mrs Allee stated that Dr. Chamberlain had demanded twenty dollars in payment for the lot and that she could not pay it. Mr. Ennis advised her to pay no attention to the demand and took the matter in hand himself, accomplishing the burial, but not without much difficulty.

LYONS.
SCENE IN A CEMETERY
PERMIT TO DIG A GRAVE WAS REFUSED
Disgraceful Proceedings Resulting From
Disputes Over a Title to Lots in the
Lyons Rural Cemetery - Grave Digging
Under Difficulties.
Lyons, Dec.10- Dr. D. S. Chamberlain, who has charge of the Lyons Rural cemetery, refused permission for the digging of a grave for the remains of Mrs. Phoebe Allee. The remains of Mrs. Allee's husband and two sons, who served in the late war, and five other relatives were buried in the lot, which Mrs. Allee's relatives claim was bought and paid for by Mr. Allee more than thirty-five years ago
Doctor Chamberlain said the lot was not paid for in full and demanded $20 in settlement of the claim. It is currently reported that the records of the Cemetery association have not been correctly kept and that the title of many other lots disputed by the association, and, as many of the people who claim ownership have lost their deeds and have failed to have them recorded, more serious trouble is likely to result from time to time.
The friends of Mrs. Allee, when refused the permit to dig a grave, sought legal advice, and then employed Michael Abert to dig it in spite of Doctor Chamberlain's refusal. Albert began the work on Wednesday night and found yesterday morning that the grave had been filled again. He was instructed to keep at work. At this Special Policeman Dexter E. Burell, a Grand Army man, accompanied by "Skip" Ritter, Martin Broderick and Philip Kaiser, appeared and filled the grave faster than Abert could remove the soil. When the grave had been filled the men retired and Abert retired again for legal advice. He was sent back with Frank Dunham as a guard yesterday morning. Abert dug down again, at which application was made to Police Justice Williams for a warrant against Abert for trespassing, and other offenses incident upon the grave digging. Police Justice Williams refused to issue the warrant.
Abert had dug down deeply into the grave. Then the gang descended on him again and filled the grave up, partially burying Abert. He again retired for legal information.
At this the community was aroused. Indignation was expressed on all sides. Justice of the Peace Daniel E. Engel and John S. Jordan accompanied by a crowd of business men and reporters, went to the cemetery with Fred Miller and the work of digging the grave was again commenced. The funeral was delayed for a half hour during which time both Abert and Miller worked like beavers. They succeeded in digging down about five feet before the funeral procession arrived. When the hearse drove up, it was found after the body was ready to be placed in the rough box that the grave was not long enough, so the casket was replaced in the hearse and the workmen proceeded to complete the grave. After a delay of fifteen minutes the work was completed and the body was peacefully lowered into the grave beside the body of her husband, two sons and five other relatives.
Mrs. Phoebe Allee, the deceased, was nearly 85 years of age. She had been blind for nearly twenty years.

LYONS CEMETERY ASSAULT CASE
Sexton Boyle Was Yesterday Tried and Convicted
GRAVE DIGGERS TROUBLE
Several Witnesses Were Sworn and
Testified Concerning the Owner-
ship of the Lot in Controversy
- Wayne County News.
The trial of the case of the people against James B. Boyle, sexton of the Lyons Rural cemetery, was concluded before Justice Williams yesterday. Sexton Boyle was charged with an assault upon Michael Abert, committed the 8th instant, in attempting to prevent Abert from digging a grave in the cemetery for the remains of the late Mrs. Phoebe Allee. Frederick Ritter and Philip Kaiser were also arrested upon the same charge. By stipulation the evidence in the Boyle trial should be accepted as to the other two defendants. C. T. Ennis, attorney for the people, at the first hearing several days since, put several witnesses upon the stand whose evidence had to do with the ownership of the Allee lot which had been denied by Dr. D. S. Chamberlain, secretary of the cemetery association. Other witnesses told the story of the contest of shovelers incident to the preparation of the grave, bringing into prominence the details of actions of the defendants who twice filled up the grave throwing dirt upon Abert in the operation. Thaddeus Collins, Jr., appeared for the defense yesterday. He stood first upon the question of ownership, and then upon the by-laws of the cemetery association.
Dr. Chamberlain was sworn. He said he was secretary of the association and that A. M. Leach, H. J. Leach, G. B. Gavitt, Milton Mirick, T. W. Collins and S. D. Holmes were trustees. Witness stated that there had been no meeting of the association or its officers since 1885. Replying to Mr. Ennis's question as to who was president of the association the witness stated that he did not know whether there was a president or not. Dr. Chamberlain produced the record book of the association containing the articles of incorporation of the association adopted at a meeting held at the Wayne county clerk's office June 19, 1847, which provided that the annual meeting shall be held in June in each year. He also produced the by-laws and introduced in evidence section eight thereof which provides that no burial shall take place upon any lot in the cemetery without the consent of the trustees under a penalty of $10.
Justice Williams denied a motion for the discharge of the defendant, at the close of the evidence, and held defendant guilty upon the ground that the Allee family was rightfully in possession of the burial lot and that any interference with such rights was wrongful.
The court held further that it was not necessary that there should have been any criminal intent and that a technical assault had been committed. The same judgment was entered in the cases of Ritter and Kaiser, who were discharged, they having been hired by Royle (sic). The latter will be sentenced this morning.

CAPT. GEO. B. CURTIS DEAD
Passed Away as the Clock Was Striking
4 Monday Afternoon.
Capt. George B. Curtis, of Wolcott, died as the clock was striking 4 Monday afternoon.
He was taken worse about noon and at 12:30 went to sleep, never to awaken again in this world.
At the last there was paralysis of the vocal chords and throat and he had not been able to make himself understood for two days before his death, though his mind was as clear as ever.
For fifteen years he had been totally disabled, in summer making his way about town in a wheel chair and in winter condemned to remain housed up at his home on West Main street.
His trouble was paralysis of the lower half of his body, as the result of service in the civil war, for which, after he became totally disabled, the government he had served to protect paid him a pension of $72 a month.
The paralysis and his inability to take much physical exercise produced gastric catarrh of the stomach and bowels, poisoning his circulation at the last. During his last sickness his temperature often went to 104 degrees and besides, he was much distressed by hicoughing (sic).
No man was more widely known about Wolcott, or more highly esteemed, than was Capt. Curtis.
He was 68(?) years old on the 9th of April. He was born in New York city, James Flander. His parents died when he was five years old, when he was adopted by John F. Curtis, who used to run a cabinet shop her and also lived in Huron. Mr. Curtis died about twenty-five years ago.
George C. Curtis married Jennie A. Miers, of Sodus. They had two children, Omar M. and Nelle A. Curtis, both of this village.
At the outbreak of the war Mr. Curtis enlisted as a 30-days' man, a private in a Michigan regiment. After his time had expired he came east and at Auburn helped to raise the 75th regiment, going out in company H. as a sargeant. He was afterwards promoted and he became a captain.
He helped to organize William Dutton post, G. A R., on July 16, 1875, and was its first commander. The name was afterwards changed to Keeslar post, NO. 55, the old number being retained.
The funeral was held from the house at 2 p.m. yesterday and was largely attended. The service was conducted by Rev. Charles T. Shaw, the Presbyterian pastor. The bearers were James G. Cook, John G. Strait, G. H. Northup, W. D. Campbell, A. B. Thacker and M. E. Cornwell. The interment was in the family lot in Leavenworth cemetery.

In Memoriam.
Mrs. Louisa Kingsley Norris was the second daughter of Flavel Kingsley, one of the early settlers on what was known as the "Granger settlement." She was born in Sodus, June 5th, 1814, and died May 15th, 1882, lacking 20 days of being 68 years old.
She had always lived in Sodus, and, with the exception of a year or two, in the same school district.
She was baptized March 22nd, 1817. When about 16 years old she consecrated herself to Christ; but for several reasons delayed uniting with the Presbyterian church till July 1st, 1866, at the same time that her son, then a school boy, joined by letter from a church in Hillsdale, Mich.
She was married March 8, 1837, to Rufus F. Norris. They buried 2 infant daughters. Their 2 sons, E. B. and Rev. K. F. Norris, are well known in this community.
For many of the later years of her life she was a great sufferer, but she endured it all with heroic fortitude and patience. She was a woman of rare excellence. As a wife, she was all that a husband could desire. She loved home, and made it attractive; and every one about her happy, if possible. Her motherliness was a strong trait in her character, manifesting itself at an early age. Her mother died when her youngest sister was a wee ___ ___ and she exercised toward the frail ___ motherless one all a mother's ___ and care. The tie between the two sisters has always been one of peculiar ___ and tenderness. Very few will ___ ___ loss so deeply as that sister, Mrs. Hecock. She leaves another sister, Mrs. __ D. Young, and a brother Elijah Kingsley, both of Marion, who were too ill too attend her funeral.
Her adopted daughter, Mrs. Louise Styles, of Middleton, Mass., arrived a few days before the end came. Mrs. __ B. Norris was able to be with her ___ of the time towards the last.
The funeral on Wednesday P. M. was attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. While the body was borne from its beautiful surroundings, in the home she loved so well, her freed spirit, we believe, has gone where the flowers bloom in immortal beauty, and the songs she loved are attuned to harps and voices of heavenly harmony - where pain can never come. She is at rest, "Safe in the arms of Jesus."
The bereaved husband and children have our sympathy. Few could meet with such a loss, for few have such a wife or mother to lose. Well may the husband say, in the words of Burmah's great missionary, "The light has gone out in my dwelling."
Naturally modest and diffident, Mrs. Norris was averse to any public display of herself in christian or benevolent work but her private charities were boundless. No one in need ever went empty or hungry from her door.
It is needless to enumerate her many virtues. In his remarks at her funeral, and the sermon Sunday morning, her pastor, Rev. Mr. Richardson, noted many of the prominent traits of her character with surprising accuracy, considering his brief acquaintance with our departed sister.
It was a great consolation to her that her beloved son could leave his charge in the city of Manchester, and be with her during the last few weeks of her distressing illness.
The bereaved family desire to express their thanks to friends for their kindness during their late afflictions, and especially for the sweet music and beautiful flowers.

TOOR - In Sodus, November 1st, 1882, John Toor, aged 80 years, 11 months and 27 days.
The deceased as born Nov. 5th, 1801, near Hatfield in Yorkshire, England, in which shire his youth and early years were passed. He was married to Sarah Box in March, 1831, and soon after, took passage for America. Thus reached Geneva June 11th, and resided with the family of his half-brother, John Middleton, until sometime in the fall of the same year, when they commenced housekeeping near the same place. The next Spring, he began farming on a place where Gorham Station is now situated. In March, 1838, he moved to Sodus and purchased the farm upon which he resided until the time of his death. He, with his wife, was converted i the Winter of '41-42, under the labors of George Wilkinson, who then preached on the Pultneyville charge, of which the Centenary Church then formed a part. They soon after united with the church of which they have ever since remained, faithful and consistent members.
He was strictly temperate in all his habits, and his integrity of character, his honesty and uprightness in all his dealings with his fellowmen, won for him the respect and esteem of all who knew him. - His partner, of over fifty-one years of happy, married life, has been bereft of a kind, considerate husband; his children, six sons and one daughter, (Mrs. Peter Vosburgh), of a loving father, and the church, which he loved so well, of a true and faithful member. But they have that most satisfying comfort that he has passed from this world of sorrow and care to one of peace and rest, and the angels, to whom he pointed so many times during his last days, have borne him on Heavenly wings to that Mansion prepared for God's chosen ones.

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR ORGANS TAKEN
FROM DEAD BODY
Life Insurance Company Takes
Another Tack to Avoid Big Payment.
Baltimore, June 20- The United States Fidelity and Guarantee Company, which applied for an injunction to restrain Chemist Charles Glaser from returning to his relative the organs of the late Edward O. Painter of Jacksonville, Fla., that had been sent to him and Dr. Standish McCleary for analysis, has asked Judge Duffy to appoint a receiver for the organs.
Painter, who was a wealthy manufacturer, fell overboard from a ferry boat in the St. Johns River and was drowned. There was a question whether it was accident or suicide and his relatives sent the body here for examination for poison.
The chemists reported that they had found no trace of poison. The insurance company learned that a part of the organs had been returned and made its application.
WILL GRANT RECEIVER.
The court was asked to appoint Dr. George Whipple receiver and to authorize him to make an independent examination. Counsel for the Painters asserted that the court had no jurisdiction over the organs but for the company it was contented that, as Mr. Painter's policy embraced a contract made before death, the court had jurisdiction. The court agreed.
The company will base its fight on its contention that Mr. Painter committed suicide, after taking out policies for more than $1,000,000 on his life. The premiums aggregated, it is said, $80,000 a year. The company also issued a $20,000 accident policy to Mr. Painter last April, it is asserted.

W. B. Marsh
An exceptionally sad and untimely death occurred at 11:15 a.m. last Saturday, when William B. Marsh, local station agent for the West Shore Railroad, died at the Homeopathic Hospital at Rochester, as the result of injuries which he received at Lyons the previous evening.
Mr. Marsh had spent Friday in Buffalo and, as one of the local trains was reported late, he decided to take the fast train which did not stop at Newark, for Lyons, where he intended to take the trolley for Newark. His train was due at Lyons at 9:55, and as he had only a few moments to catch the first trolley for Newark, he went to the platform of his car and prepared to jump from the train before it stopped. In doing so, his feet slipped from the cement walk and Mr. Marsh was dragged under the train, which passed over his legs, cutting off the right one below the knee and the left one just above. Medical assistance was immediately ___ and everything done to comfort the unfortunate man.
His wife in Newark was communicated with and Dr. E. P. Thatcher, the railroad physician, was notified. A West Shore train was stopped and on it Mr. Marsh was taken to Rochester. Upon closer examination at the hospital it was found that Mr. Marsh was in a very precarious condition and no hopes of his recovery were entertained, because of his weakened and frail condition. As the end was drawing near he was conscious of his fate and faced it bravely and cheerfully.
Saturday evening the remains were brought to his home on Church street in this village, where they laid at rest until Tuesday morning, when Mrs. Marsh accompanied them to Pittsfield, Mass., there the funeral services were held and the interment made.
W. B. Marsh was born at Clinton, in this state, thirty-four years ago. When a boy his parents moved to Clark's Mills,N. Y., where his father was manager of a cotton mill. When still quite young Mr. Marsh entered the employ of the railroad as assistant station agent of Clark's Mills, and there he learned telegraphy and the routine work of the railroad office. He remained there until he was appointed stationagent at Macedon, which position he surrendered two years ago to take a position as station agent at Newark.
During his residence in Newark Mr. Marsh made a great many friends. He was very genial and his constant application to duty greatly increased the local business of the West Shore Railroad, which now amounts to over a quarter of a million annually. Among all the railroad employes he was a great favorite and was also popular in Masonic circles, being a member of Newark Lodge, F. & A. M., of Newark Chapter and also of Zenobia Commandery, of Palmyra.
Mr. Marsh married Miss Mary Faulkner, of Pittsfield, Mass., in 1896, who survives, and she has the sympathy of the entire community in her bitter sorrow.
