A Good Man Gone to His Rest
One of the most useful men, and a physician of great skill
and success, was Dr. John B. SMITH of Ogden, N. Y., whose death occurred
Thursday evening, after an active life of over eighty-one years.
Dr. SMITH was born in Cambridge, Washington county, in this
state July 13, 1806, where he continued to reside until he finished his
medical education at the College of Physicians and Surgeons in New York City,
after which, in the spring of 1831 - fifty-six years ago - he came to Monroe
county and was one of the physicians who nearly sixty years ago were
established in the different towns in this county. He settled in Ogden,
near Spencerport, where he continued to reside until the time of his death.
The incidents of his life as a citizen, a man of
affairs, a friend in need, a skillful and beloved physician, would make an
interesting volume for all citizens of the western part of Monroe county who
know him well and who always respected his upright and useful life. He
was a member of the church at Ogden Center, and helped to build that church
edifice. Consistent in his Christian integrity and example, Dr. SMITH was
worthy the con_idence and respect of the community in which he so long
resided.
In politics he was a Whig and quite active in that
department of the duties of the citizen, as his nature was positive and
energetic.
In 1846 he was elected to the Legislature and served
two sessions. At the dissolution of the Whig party he affiliated with
the Democrats and has since continued to act with that party. Dr. SMITH
leaves brothers and sisters as follows: Henry of Springport, Mich.:
Calvin of Belden, Mich. and Edward of Le Roy, N. Y. Judge Sidney SMITH
of the Superior Court of Chicago is also a brother of the deceased. His
sisters are Mrs. Philo Green, Lansing Mich.: Mrs. Clarissa S. GREEN of East
Saginaw, Mich., and Mrs. Cornelia GOODHUE of Scottsville, N. Y. He was
twice married and his family who survive him are wife and nine sons and one
daughter. Four sons reside in Ogden, one in Whitewater, Wis.: one
in Cleveland, Ohio: one, Geo. W. SMITH of the U.S. Mail service in this
city: two in New York city and the daughter, Jennie E. SMITH of New York city.
Dr. SMITH lived to a good old age. His life was
an eminently practical and useful one and he will be long remembered.
The funeral occurs at his late residence, Ogden, at 2 o'clock, Sunday
afternoon, Sept. 11th.

MORTUARY MATTERS
Sudden Death of John Frazer, Sr. - Demise of George Brueck at Buffalo
John FRAZER, Sr., a resident of this city since 1840, during all of which time he has been connected in business
with Samuel MOULSON, the North Water street soap manufacturer, died suddenly yesterday noon at Mr. MOULSON'S residence,
38 East avenue. It had been Mr. FRAZER'S habit for a long time to take dinner with Mr. MOULSON. Yesterday he went
to his employer's house at noon as usual, and while waiting for dinner sat down to read a newspaper. A servant
noticed a few minutes after that Mr. FRAZER was looking ill, and the next instant she saw his head fall back, while
the paper fluttered from his nerveless grasp.
The girl called for assistance and Dr. COLLINS quickly responded to a hurried summons, but it was too late. The
old gentleman was dead. He was subject to heart disease which was undoubtedly the cause of death.
The deceased was a native of England and 75 years of age. He was quite well known among the older business men
of the city, and had an enviable reputation for integrity and conscientiousness. He was quiet and domestic in his
tastes and of methodical habits. His greatest passion was a love for flowers, and of these he cultivated a large
number. A widow and two adult children survive — John FRAZER, jr., and Miss Emma FRAZER. The funeral services will
be held to-morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock at the family residence, 952 North Clinton street.

A STRAY BULLET
As a Caledonia avenue car was nearing the corner of Bronson avenue and Seward street at about 9 o'clock last evening,
a ball from a No. 22 calibre revolver came crashing through the window. The car was stopped and a search made for
the source of the missile, but without avail. It was thought to be the work of some small boy endeavoring to amuse
himself without regard to the consequences to others.
