9/14/02  Albigence Waldo Ford's obituary was graciously contributed by Al White! "Following is the obit of Albigence Waldo Ford of Middleville, NY as transcribed by me from a newspaper clipping:"

DEATH OF ALBIGENCE WALDO FORD

One of the oldest and most respected residents of this town, Albigence Waldo Ford, passed to his reward at his home in Middleville last Wednesday night. He had been in almost helpless condition for three years or more, but he had been confined to bed only three days. He was most tenderly cared for by his devoted wife and son through his long illness, and his absent daughters were continually sending or doing something for his comfort and to bring him cheer.

Albigence Waldo Ford was born in Middleville, September 7, 1826, and was one of a family of ten children of Captain David Ford and Abigail Bucklin Ford, the father being a captain in the war of 1812; he died in 1870. The subject of this sketch attended common schools in Middleville and completed his education in Fairfield academy, then a most prosperous institution of high repute. He was born in the old stone house still standing on the edge of Middleville and near his late residence, which he erected in 1871 on his large farm of over 300 acres. He engaged extensively in agriculture and erected a cheese factory, the product from which had a high reputation on the Little Falls cheese market. He also had one of the largest and finest apiaries in this section of the state, keeping about 300 swarms of bees, from which he realized a handsome yearly profit. He was an expert apiarist; on account of poor health he discontinued this business in about 1903.

In politics Mr Ford was a Whig until 1856 and then joined the Republican party, which he has since been identified. Some years ago he served several years as assessor of the town of Fairfield and also two terms as supervisor, in the years 1871 and 1872. Years ago he took an active interest in the Herkimer County Agricultural Society and later he was a member of the Grange. He has long been a member of the Universalist church of Middleville and was devoted to its interests. Mr. Ford was quiet and unassuming, but one who would impress anyone as a man of candor and at once inspire confidence in him as a man of honor and integrity. He was devoted to his family and his home, which was ever attractive and hospitable to every guest. No citizen of his town was held in greater respect and regard and all could but admire him for his high standard of honor and principle.

Mr Ford married Miss Irene Isham of Salisbury, January 1, 1863. She survives with four children: Mrs. Addie Atwood of Canton, Mrs. Mary Wilkins of Minneapolis, Minn.; David E. Ford of Middleville, and Mrs. Irene Gillette of Minneapolis, Minn. He also leaves one sister, Mrs. Mary Broughton of Syracuse.

The funeral was held Friday evening at 8 oclock from the home and was private. Rev. Mr. Hokerk, pastors of the Universalist church of Middleville officiated, assisted by Rev. John Murry Atwood, D.D., son-in-law of deceased and dean of St. Lawrence Unversity. The body was taken to the undertaking rooms of W. E. Autenrith and on Saturday afternoon taken by him to Waterville, N.Y., for cremation, burial of the ashes to be made in the family plot of the Middleville cemetery.

8/6/02  P.P. Hyde's obituary was graciously contributed by Darwina Michael, coordinator of Ontario County NYGenWeb. Darwina isn't related to Mr. Hyde and has no further information. "This is a nice obituary I found in a Geneva (Ontario County) newspaper which you may want. I have no personal interest in the Hyde name."

From Geneva Gazette June 20 1884

A Sudden Death - At a quarter past 12 o'clock yesterday noon, Mr. P. P. Hyde died very suddenly at his residence, North Main st. The deceased was afflicted some three or four years ago with some heart trouble, which however passed off in a few weeks, himself and family hoping never to return. But about three weeks ago he experienced a recurrence of the trouble, which was attended by periods of acute pain. Yesterday morning he arose very early and worked in his garden till breakfast time. After partaking of the morning meal he went to his store and remained there till about ten o'clock, when his bodily sufferings became so alarming that he sought his home. Rest brought him no relief, and at the hour first above indicated he passed suddenly and peacefully away.

Phineas P. Hyde was a native of Jordansville, Herkimer county, where he resided until about the year 1868, when he bought and has since occupied the dwelling wherein he breathed his last. The first few years of his residence among us he was engaged in no business; subsequently he established a grocery on Castle near Main st., and by giving it close personal attention and by courteous treatment of customers he secured a liberal patronage.

He was thoroughly honest and conscientious in all dealings with his fellow-men. He was a member of the Baptist church and performed his whole duty in its service.

Mr. Hyde was born Jan. 22, 1812, making his age 72 years, four months, 27 days. He leaves a wife and two daughters, one of the latter (Mrs. Pratt) having her home with him, the other, also married, still residing at Jordansville, whither the remains will be conveyed, (probably tomorrow), for interment.

Capt. Tilley Richardson

At the residence of Wines H. Skeels, Esq. in Watertown, NY, on the 14th inst., Capt. Tilley Richardson, 93. He has left to mourn his loss, one hundred and twenty children, grand-children, and great-grand-children.

Capt. Richardson volunteered as a soldier at the commencement of the War of the Revolution; he was at the taking of Burgoyne in 1779; he emigrated from New Hampshire to Litchfield, in Herkimer Co., NY, in 1792, and from thence to Watertown in 1802, and settled on the farm on which he died.

He was a kind husband and father, a good neighbor and a peace maker. He has never been a party in a litigated suit, and very rarely, if ever, has such a suit originated in his neighborhood. He had no enemies, and as many friends as knew him and enjoyed his acquaintance. His heart and hand has always been open to the wants of the poor. His integrity was never questioned. Community has lost a good citizen and his numerous family their best friend.

The deceased was a maternal uncle of one of the editors of this journal. A daring exploit was performed by Capt. Richardson, when the American and British armies lay on Rhode Island. One day he observed two horses, who had strayed from the British lines toward the American camp. He formed the purpose of bringing them in, and went round them and started them for the American lines. The British saw him and commenced firing a cannon at him. The first ball came within a short distance of him; nothing daunted, he still continued to drive on his horses, at the same time keeping watch of the cannon. When he saw its flash, he fell upon the ground; each ball came nearer and nearer, one ball ploughing the ground by his side, half covering him with dust; he arose, swung his hat, and hurrahed. The British gunner felt sure of his object at the next shot; but Capt. R. reached a hay stack before the next discharge of the cannon. The ball passed through the edge of the stack, and did him no harm. He drove both horses into the camp, brought them to head-quarters, and received pay for them. This exploit was done in full view of both armies. The American army watched his progress with intense anxiety, cheering him only repeated huzzas.

THE JOHNSTOWN DAILY REPUBLICAN, Sat. 1 June, 1907

MARTIN KECK

The death of Martin Keck, Frankfort's oldest resident occurred yesterday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon at the home of his son, Andrew Keck. If Mr. Keck had lived to 20 Aug., he would have been 95 years old. The immediate cause of death was blood poisoning, resulting in poor circulation in his lower limbs, and which he was unable to recover from on account of his advanced age. Although he had complained for a number of weeks, Mr. Keck had, up to a few days ago, been unable to work in the garden and do other work about the house. He was born in Johnstown, N.Y., and was a farmer by occupation. Nearly 75 years ago he married Miss Maria Burns who died 23 years ago. Mr. Keck came to Frankfort 24 years ago and for the past 18 years had lived with his son, Andrew. He was a thorough Christian gentleman and enjoyed the respect of all who knew him. For many years he had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church of this place and until he became so deaf that he was unable to hear, attended services regularly. He was also a lifetime Republican. Mr. Keck leaves a sister, Margaret Keck (Margaret Keck Martin), a brother, Joseph both of Johnstown; a daughter, Mrs. Libbie Williams of Little Falls; 3 sons, Peter of Gloversville, Jacob of Johnstown and Andrew of this place, Frankfort.

Elizabeth Babcock

It was with extreme regret that we learned, after the Sentinel had gone to press last week, that the obituary notice regarding the sad death of little Elizabeth Babcock 9, had inadvertently been omitted.

Although reference is made here to that sad demise somewhat late, the opportunity of extending to the bereaved parents and other relatives the heartfelt sympathy of the community in which little Elizabeth lived her life and was a bright and promising member.

She was a sweet child of engaging personality, beloved by all her schoolmates and associates, and was attentive to her studies. Thus it was that her sorrowful death brought genuine grief to her wide circle of friends and acquaintances.

Aged Resident Passes Away

Mrs. Margaret S. Tyler Went to her Reward Early Yesterday --
was in the Last Decade of a Century Life Span, Spent in Herkimer.

An extended and worthy life came to it's close at an early hour on Saturday morning when Mrs. Margaret Syllaboch Tyler sank into earth's last repose at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Joseph Golden, in East German Street. The end followed a period of failing strength, due to Mrs. Tylers' advanced age, she having past her ninty fourth milestone of life March 16th. last. During the month and a half she had been confined to her bed, although previous to the final breakdown she had been a woman of remarkable activity for her years and was of equally preserved mentality. She could talk most interestingly of Herkimer's past, since here she spent her days and was besides endowed with a very retentive memory. She was an assidious reader and found literature one of the chief comforts of her last years. Mrs. Tyler had a wide acquaintanceship among the older residents especially, and was held in high regard for her good and kindly qualities. Six children survive her, namely four daughters and two sons, all of Herkimer, as follows; Mrs. George Golden, Mrs. Joseph Golden, Mrs.James Downs, Mrs. Viola Cole, Jacob and Charles Tyler. The late husband of deceased preceded her to the other side 53 years ago. The funeral will take place from the house tomorrow afternoon at 2, Rev. C.E. Bingham officiating.
