Death of Fred H. BURLINGHAM

It is with deep regret that we chronicle the death of Fred Holmes Burlingham, 13 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Burlingham, of 205 East State Street. Fred had been sick but five days, and until Friday had not been considered as dangerously ill. Pneumonia of the left lung was the primary cause of death, heart failure being the immediate cause of death. Fred was an unusually bright boy, and he commanded the love and respect of all who knew him. He attended the number three school, being in the seventh grade. His teachers speak of him as being an industrious and obedient pupil with great powers of absorption, carrying his grades with ease. Fred was an only son and the next to youngest of four children. His death is a sad blow to his family and all who knew him. The funeral arrangements have not been made, and will be announced later.

After receiving the congratulations of a host of friends the wedding party took a short trip on the Merry-go-round.-------Portville Review. (Aug. 30, 1911 written in) 
 

FOUR SCORE AND FOUR

Another octogenarian has passed away from the community after an honorable and useful, if not a stirring life. Mr. Moses Barber died on Saturday last, 7^th instant, at his residence near Portville, and was buried at main Settlement on Sunday, 8^th instant. The deceased gentleman, who attained his eighty-fourth year last June, formerly resided in Chenango County, but removed to Portville thirty years ago and has resided there ever since. He was the father of "Nort" and "Nelt" Barber, of this town. It is a somewhat curious coincidence that Mr. Barber died on the birthday of his son "Nort" (C. N.) at exactly double his age.
