At Palmyra, on the 21st ultimo, the venerable PELEG HOLMES, an early settler in this vicinity, aged 76 years. Mr. Holmes was a native of Warren, in Litchfield, Ct., and some twenty years of more ago, emigrated to this place. In every relation sustained by him in life, his character was unsullied, and it would probably be hazarding nothing to say that he had not an enemy in the world. Mr. Holmes was a volunteer soldier in the revolutionary struggled, and always to the end of his life, took a deep and active interest in every thing appertaining to the welfare of his country. In all his domestic relations and intercourse, even to the very last, he was a pattern of patience, kindness and piety. He was a firm believer in the impartial grace and goodness of God, and his faith failed not in the honor of his trial, but buoyed him above the fear of death. In short, his life was that of an honest man. His death was composed and tranquil, and we trust his immortality will be happy and glorious. Wayne Sentinel.

In Newark, Wayne county, on the 13th of July, Miss SAMANTHA FORD, aged 22 years.
The deceased was a peculiarly amiable and interesting young lady, and had endeared herself to a large circle of friends, who deeply mourn her early departure.
She bore her sickness with exemplary patience, and her decline and departure were cheered by an unwavering and steadfast confidence in the final salvation of all mankind. This faith robbed death of its terrors and disarmed him of his sting, and enabled her peacefully to resign her spirit to her Creator. At her request the writer attended her funeral on the 26th of July and a large circle of acquaintances and friends united with the sorrowing relatives in performing the sad offices of respect.
May our lives be as blameless as hers, our departure as peaceful, and our deaths as triumphant.

Mrs. Dunn, widow of the late Captain Dunn, of Lyons, recently died. For years the Dunn farm, just south of Lyons village, where she died, was one of the most famous places in the county. An interesting fact connected with her death, is that she had a parrot, her principal pet, for more than forty years. The bird is still living and is said to be 44 or 45 years old. Very few people can boast of having a pet that has been with them more than half of their life.
John Espenscheid, of Newark, died at his home in that village last Friday night, of dropsy. Funeral services were held Monday and burial was made at Newark. Mr. Espenscheid was quite well known in this vicinity by some of our older residents, having lived for many years, when a young man, in the old Kelsey neighborhood.

Later he went to New York City where he was in business until ten or twelve years ago, when he removed to Newark. He was a brother-in-law of G. H. Lang and Philip Heit, and is survived by a widow and one daughter. He was a man of high character and _____ high esteemed by all who knew him.

There passed away in this village, Sunday, January 3d, a woman whose exemplary life deserves more than passing notice here.
Mrs. Sarah A. Baker, whose death has been recorded in our columns, had lived among us many years and by her singularly pure character had endeared herself to all who knew her. Gentle, meet, unassuming, filled with that christian benevolence which never condemns; discerning not the evil but ever the good that is in life; full of tender pity for the fallen; quick, so far as her means would admit, to aid the sick and destitute, she walked life's thorny pathway unmindful of her own burdens in her solicitude for suffering humanity and her eagerness to alleviate human sorrow. There appeared no act in her long and useful life to dim its purity. She was especially loved by children, many a destitute little one being the beneficiary of long hours of toil even when the light burnt dim and exhausted nature clamored for needed rest. ANd thus she lived, and loved and was love by all - patient, enduring, self-sacrificing; looking ever trustfully for the better life whose reality her early christian training had ensured.
After a brief illness her light went out, peacefully and calmly as the light of day, but not forever, for over the horizon in the eternal Summerland, where blooms the flowers she loved, it shines evermore.
Sarah A. Byington was born in Westchester County January 31, 1814. Her parents removed soon after to New Canaan, Conn., where her childhood was passed. Subsequently she came to Herkimer County where she met and married Henry Baker. They removed to Cayuga County about the year 1836 where they lived until 1859, when they came to Clyde. She was directly descended from William (Lord) Byington [Boynton] of Yorkshire, England, who emigrated to this country in 1836 (sic; 1636), settling at Roxley (sic; Rowley), Mass.
Deceased is survived by five children, three sons, and two daughters who remember her as a fond and loving mother. Her life was a striking example of christian trial and triumph and at its close she met death calmly and peacefully and gave her patient heart unto a patient God.

He was a night watchman in the employ of the company, and went to his duties as usual last Saturday evening. Sunday morning he did not come home to breakfast at his accustomed hour. After waiting for his arrival for some little time his son Fred went down to the factory to investigate. Upon going to the office, he was horrified to see the lifeless form of his father. The dead man was seated in a chair with his arms folded across his breast and an expression of repose upon his countenance. From the work he had done it was evident that he died about midnight. The cause of death was probably heart disease, as he had been ill from that malady for some time. Undertaker Drake was summoned and the remains were conveyed to the family residence on Gates street. Deceased leaves a wife and three children: a son, Fred B., and two daughters, Mrs. Lavare Wright and Mrs. Ida Parsons. He was about 55 years of age.

A brief funeral service was held this morning at 10 o'clock, at Field's undertaking rooms, and interment was made in Maple Grove cemetery. This is the last member of a family of three, father, mother and son, all of whom have died in the county house. Thirty years ago Arnold Reynolds was employed as double-thick blower in the Clyde window glass works, and received on an average about $300 month for his services. He worked at this business for several years and notwithstanding he earned about $3000 per year, every penny of it was squandered and about six years ago he died in the county house. The son, Frank who had served an apprenticeship at glass blowing, succeeded his father in the business, and soon earned as much as his father did previous to his death. Not a penny of it was saved, however, and about three years ago he died in the county house. Soon after this his mother, who had been left destitute, was taken to the county home, where she died.

Suicide of a Prominent Williamson Man.
The Williamson correspondent of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle furnishes that paper with the following particulars of the death by suicide of Jay M. Adams, a prominent and well-known citizen of the town of Williamson, this county. The writer says:
"Jay M. Adams, a well-known citizen of Williamson, and a son of John Adams committed suicide on Sunday by shooting himself with a revolver. He was a farmer living on the ridge road and fairly well-to-do. He had been in poor health during the spring and summer and had become despondent. Last Friday he went to the village and bought a pistol at the store of F. S. Wilder. Sunday afternoon he was out of the house for a time and his brother-in-law from Ontario called to see him. His wife sent their little boy to the mint still across the road to call his father and he came back and whispered to his mother that "pa was lying on the floor and was dead." They went to the place and found it was just as the little boy had said "The unfortunate man had very deliberately planned the whole affair, having carried a mirror from the house and placed it on the bench in front of him and then knelt before it, place the pistol to his temple and sent the ball through his brain, killing him instantly. Coroner R. S. Carr was called but did not deem it necessary to hold an inquest. Mr. Adams was 38 years of age and was born and reared in Williamson and was a highly respected citizen, being a brother of Supervisor Adams. He leaves a wife and one son, aged about five years; also a father and mother, two brothers, and two sisters."
Jay M. Adams, a well-known citizen of Williamson, committed suicide on Sunday last by shooting himself with a revolver. Deceased was one of the best known and most highly respected citizens of the town of Williamson, but had been in poor health all the spring and summer and had become very despondent. Sunday afternoon he left his horse and went to his mint still which was across the road, where he was found dead some time after by his little son, who had been sent out to call him. The whole affair had been planned, for he took a mirror with him so he could take careful aim. Mr. Adams was 38 years of age and was born in Williamson. He leaves a wife and one son, aged about five years. The funeral was held from his late residence on Tuesday.

The Gazette on Saturday last mentioned briefly the death of Stephen B. Smith. As Mr. Smith was one of Arcadia's oldest, best known, and highly respected citizens, we feel that a more extended notice should be given in this issue Mr. Smith was born in Junius, Seneca county, August 11, 1817. He came to this town when a small boy, his people buying a farm north of Newark. He grew to manhood here, and on the 24th of November, 1842, was married to Maria A. Fox. He went to housekeeping on the farm where he died, but in the interval, in his early manhood, he owned and lived on several different farms. In 1853 he bought out the other heirs to the homestead, and has since lived there, an honorable, respected citizen, a consistent Christian man, a good neighbor, and a valued friend. What more can be said of any man? He had been for many years a member of the East Palmyra Methodist church, and has been a Mason in good standing in the Newark Lodge since 1855. Of a family of three brothers and five sisters, the deceased outlived all but one, Mrs. Lydia Carey, who still lives in the far West. He is survived also by a wife, one son, Chas. O., and an adopted daughter, Kate. Three children have died. The funeral was held Sunday afternoon, Rev. Mr. Pierce of the East Palmyra church officiating, and seldom has a larger concourse of people gathered together at a funeral in this town. The Masons took charge of the service at the grave, the Newark lodge attending the funeral in a body.

"The funeral of the late Wm. H. Clark was held from the family homestead in Ontario yesterday.

Swan, of Marion, an only child of Colonel Edward Swan and a descendant of Captain John Brewster, of the Mayflower. Her mother was a Morgan, a sister of Governor Morgan.
Mr. Clark settled in Ontario in April, 1840, upon a farm upon which the village now stands. He was a successful farmer and became the largest dealer in wool and live stock in Wayne county."

Mrs. Emma Williams of Clyde Takes Arsenic and Dies.
Among the many festive out-of-town people in Newark Monday to witness the celebration, were Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Williams of Clyde. They were in town all day and in the afternoon got separated. Williams disappeared and it is supposed that he went home without his wife, being unable to find her. Towards night, Mrs. Williams went to a drug store, bought five cents worth of arsenic, went over to the Central railroad, and took it. About 7:30 she appeared at Langdon House, apparently very ill then, and vomiting. She went to an out building, and a little later was found there, unconscious. She was then taken into the hotel, where she informed Mr. Langdon, that she had taken arsenic. He at once summoned Dr. Geo. H. Craft, but it was too late for medical assistance to be of any use, and at ten o'clock the woman died.
Yesterday Coroner York of this village held an inquest, and the jury decided that it was a case of self destruction by arsenical poisoning.
The remains are at Undertaker Stuerwald's but will be sent to Clyde to-day at the request of the husband.
The deceased, formerly a Mrs. Blanchard, lived in Newark several years, until her first husband, a railroad man, was killed on the road a few years ago. About a year since she married Williams and went to Clyde to live.

Col. Enoch Granger, whose death occurred in the village of Joy on the 7th inst., was born in the town of Phelps, Ontario County, in 1801. At the age of eight years he came to this town with his parents, who took up a portion of land now owned by Cornelius Whitbeck and Harry and Noble Ward.
His father died in 1812, leaving a large family with nothing for their support except a farm of which but very little had been improved. From that time Mr. Granger began to exercise that spirit of self-sacrifice which formed a controlling element of his character in manhood.
He worked for the support of his mother and sisters, until he was 28 years of age, when feeling a desire to make an effort for himself, he extended a request to the County Surrogate that the estate be settled with the condition that his own share be contributed to his mother. The request was immediately complied with, and the estate successfully settled in the same year under his management.
At about this time Mr. Granger was married to Miss Maria Smith, and soon after he purchased the farm now owned by John Myers, near Sodus Centre. He sold this farm in 1833, and then purchased the Wright Mill property at Joy and the farm at the present time occupied by Marvin Granger, Esq. During the spring he built the house that now stands on the farm which he occupied with his wife for six months before it had been furnished with either doors or windows. He afterwards bought the Wake farm, and also a small place in the village of Joy where he died. So that at one time he was owner of more than 200 acres of land in that vicinity.
In politics, Mr. Granger was an earnest and zealous advocate of the principles of the Democratic party, and was at various times chosen to office in this town by that party. He was raised to the rank of Colonel for military service under the old militia laws of the State, and was appointed one of the Commissioners of the Sodus Point and Southern Railroad at the commencement of its construction, and served until within a few years of his death.
He first made a profession of religion in 1840, and in the same year united with the society of the Presbyterian church at Joy, in which he had always been an active member, and earnestly striven to be a christian in all that the term implies. For several years after he became a member of the society there was no church edifice in Joy, and it was chiefly due to his efforts that the present house was built, having contributed $1000 to the building fund, and donated a large portion of the timber used in the structure besides a great deal of his own time and labor. For many years he took the entire responsibility of providing the community with a minister, and during a large portion of this time he paid at least one-fourth of the pastor's salary. For more than twenty-five years he performed all the duties of sexton, for which he has never asked nor received any compensation. His attendance at religious service was as regular as the times of worship, and it is related that very frequently he and his devoted wife were the only ones present at the prayer meetings.
Mr. Granger was twice married - his first wife died in 1847, and in the following year he married Mrs. Samuel Robinson, a sister of his former wife, who died in 1878. Both of these ladies were very estimable women, and worked together with their husband in all his good works.
Rev. William Young, many years a Presbyterian pastor in various parts of Wayne county, died in Newark, on Monday, the 10th inst., aged 72 years.
Rev. William Young.
None were disappointed, but many made sad, at the announcement on Monday morning last, that Rev. William Young had passed from earth. His decline had been so steady, and his disease so stuborn,(sic) that weeks before the end came, his friends began to regard his sickness as fatal. He met the change with christian fortitude, and passed away at the end of a useful life, honored and beloved by all for his integrity of character, aged 72 years.
Mr. Young was ordained a minister over the church in Ontario in 1857. He afterwards served the church in Rose ten years, and those of Junius, of Joy and Fairville, briefer periods. He has also labored as a colporteur the last ten years, much of the time under the County Bible Society. Some ten years ago he purchased a home in this village, intending to spend the evening of his days among us. The funeral was largely attended on Wednesday at the Presbyterian church, Rev. Dr. Eaton preaching the sermon, and Rev'ds. A. A. Wood, D. D., W. B. Dads, and A. P. Burgess, the pastor, participating. The pastors and retired ministers of Newark were also present. The choir sung "Sweet Bye and Bye," and
"Servant of God, well done;
Rest from thy loved employ."
The remains were deposited in Willow Avenue Cemetery.- Newark Union, July 15.
