Mr. Seymour BRAINARD, one of the oldest and best known residents of Medina died at his home on West Center street about ten o'clock last evening, after an illness of less than two months, aged nearly ninety years.
Mrs. BRAINARD died in September, and although Mr. BRAINARD has always enjoyed the best of health, and at the time of the death of his wife, was in good health, yet he took to his bed within a few days and gradually grew weaker until the end.
Mr. BRAINARD was born in Rome, New York, ninety years ago next week. He learned the baker's trade in that city, and when a young man started for Buffalo, riding on a packet boat on the Erie Canal. When he reached Medina, he saw a large sign over a building, situate where the Empire Couch Company building stands, on the canal bank, reading 'Smith's Bakery'. Mr. BRAINARD got off and applied for a job, which he obtained. He has since made Medina his home, and this was sixty- six years ago.
For sixty-four years Mr. BRAINARD had been a merchant upon the streets, and enjoys the distinction of having been in business longer than any other resident here. He has seen them all come and go, has seen every business building in Medina erected, has seen the whole Main street burn on both sides; in fact, he was always in touch with its history and its advancement.
He has frequently related incidents that occurred in the earlier days. He used to tell of going out walking and tramping up near where the Walsh House now stands and looking out at the fields of wheat. In those days the business was all transacted down on the docks, and Main Street was not even mentioned. He has seen the village affairs administered in the old Gamner's Hall, in the building now known as White's Hotel, in the Fuller block on Center Street, and in the new village hall at the south end of Main Street. His life has witnessed many changes in the village in every way, and his recollections were pleasant memories and interesting accounts.
Mr. BRAINARD was always a good business man, a fine character, a man in whom the entire village reposed the utmost faith and confidence. He never held a political office in his life, yet he was always considered as one of the foremost citizens of the village.
A few months ago, he celebrated the sixty-third anniversary of his wedding, having lived here with his wife all those years.
He is survived by three sons, Morgan L. BRAINARD, J. Seymour BRAINARD, and R Stanley BRAINARD, and a daughter, Mrs. Warren JOHNSTON, all of this place. The funeral will be held from the late residence Friday afternoon, at three o'clock, Rev. J. H. HERENDEEN officiating.

Death indeed struck a shining mark when Margaret BRENNAN, sister of Mary and James HANLON, earnest and true Christian women, which means much in these days of strife after place, position and wealth, was taken from our midst last evening at her brother's home on Glenwood avenue. With her own lips she called the physician to her last but fatal illness.
Seventy-two years of age, she had attained to a most honorable position in this community, devoted to the Christian body with which she was connected and it has been well and truly said of her by one, denoting the deep emotion and devotion of a brother, that she was 'a dear, sweet sister'.
Margaret BRENNAN was a graduate of the Sacred Heart Convent, of Rochester, one of the first teachers in Catholic school, and later in the public school. She was a real student and a book lover and had come to a good degree of culture by a knowledge of the world 's best books; and was able at all times to put herself in sympathy with those about her and enter into their joy and make their interests hers. She was an active worker in Medina's early Chautauqua Club which wielded a wide influence in Medina's social and religious development.
She is survived by her sister, Miss Mary HANLON, and her brother, Hon. James A. HANLON, who have the sympathy in their bereavement of a host of friends far and near. Her husband, Lawrence BRENNAN, died some years ago.
The funeral will be held from St. Mary's Church, on Thursday morning at 9 a.m. Her life was not less pure and the rememberance that she leaves behind of a beautiful Christian character, than the fragrance, purity and beauty of the clusters of flowers which thoughtful friends have borne to her late home. To many the death of Mrs. BRENNAN will come as a personal loss, while her large circle of acquaintances will long bear in pleasing remembrance the life of one whom to know even slightly was to honor and respect.

A Sad Drowning Accident
ASA BROUGHTON AND HIS WIFE AND BABY DROWN TOGETHER.
On Monday evening Asa BROUGHTON, who had just completed the building of a handsome but rather cranky little row boat, took his wife and little boy, and his wife's sister, Rosa TRAIN, aged nine years, out on the canal for a pleasure ride. After rowing about for some time a steam canal boat, towing another boat, came along, and Broughton rowed between the two, with the evident intention of grasping the tow line and being towed a short distance up the canal. The captain of the steamer says that he warned BROUGHTON that he had better not attempt to catch the line so near the steamer's wheel, but he paid no attention.
As he stood up in the boat to seize the line, the little craft suddenly capsized, throwing the entire party into the water. In a moment the confusion of the passing boats had swept Broughton and his wife and baby far apart, but the little TRAIN girl, who was able to swim a little, managed to reach the overturned skiff and cling to the side.
The only witnesses of the tragedy, besides the boatmen, were M. D. Stillwell, night watchman at the Bignall Works, and James McKeever, who were sitting on the platform in front of the Bignall Works. Neither of the men could swim and there was nothing at hand with which they could assist the three human beings who were drowning before their eyes. They implored the captain of the steamer to render some assistance, but beyond throwing a handspike, which they were unable to secure, he would do nothing.
Meantime BROUGHTON seems to have been making desperate attempts to save his wife and baby. The little TRAIN girl says that she heard him cry "help,'' a number of times. James Stork saw the party struggling in the water from the Weld & Hill canal bridge, and running up the tow path to the spot he plunged bravely in, only stopping to remove his coat and shoes. He was not a moment too soon, as the TRAIN girl's strength was nearly exhausted when he reached her. Weighted down as he was, Stork succeeded in lifting the girl on the bottom of the boat and supporting her there until George Bowen, who was shortly on the scene with his boat, assisted them to land. Stork was almost exhausted and his bravery and prompt action on this occasion is deserving of the highest praise. A large crowd soon collected near the spot, and grappling for the bodies was at once commenced. The bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Broughton were soon brought to the surface, but the body of the little boy was not recovered until late on Tuesday morning.
Coroner Munson at once impaneled the following jury, which rendered a verdict of accidental drowning: John Allen, Foreman; Edward Fuller, W. H. Munson, Eugene Walsh, Theron James, C. S. Murdock, M. A. Bowen, G. H. Hill, J. M. Frary, John W. Parker and Thomas Mooney.
BROUGHTON was forty-seven years old, his wife twenty-four years and the little boy about four years old. The sad affair caused great excitement. Broughton will be remembered as the man who, on May 14th, 1879, shot and killed Levant Bancroft and fled to Canada, crossing the cables of the old suspension bridge at Lewiston, in the night, hand over hand. His capture in Canada by Captain Beecher, and subsequent daring escape from the Albion jail, his trial and imprisonment, are too well known by our readers to need rehearsal here. Since his release from prison BROUGHTON had been a quiet, industrious man, and was a prominent worker in the Salvation Army during its stay in this place.
The funeral services of the father, mother and child were held at the Baptist church yesterday morning, Rev. Mr. Latham officiating, and the remains were taken to Knowlesville for interment.

Colonel Edwin Franklin BROWN, Inspector General, National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers, died in his apartments, "The Westleigh” West 123rd Street, New York City, Saturday morning, January 10th, 1903.
Colonel BROWN came of good fighting stock, the son of Jeremiah BROWN, was a captain in the war of 1812, and whose mother was the daughter of a revolutionary soldier, and his father the son of a commissioned officer in Washington's Army, and he was himself a veteran of the Civil war. Colonel Brown's father was an early pioneer in Western New York, settling near what is now the village of Medina, where Col. BROWN was born April 23d, 1823; and where he grew to manhood and resided at the beginning of the Civil war, and it has continued to be his nominal residence. He was among the first to volunteer and assist in organizing companies, and was commissioned Lieutenant Colonel of the 28th New York Infantry Volunteers, which was mustered into the U. S. service May 22nd, 1861. The regiment served in Patterson's Army; in Bank's Division, Army of the Potomac; William’s Division of the Fifth Corps, the First Division Department of the Shenandoah; the 1st. Division 2nd Corps, Army of Virginia; and the 1st Division, 12th Corps Army of the Potomac, he participating with it in all the battles in which the Divisions were engaged, including Chancellorsville, Va., May 3rd, 1863, after which it proceded to New York and was mustered out, on expiration of service, June 2nd, 1863. From the beginning to the close of its term the regiment won the respect and confidence of their associates and the high commendations of its commanders. In the battle of Cedar Mountain, Va., August 9th, 1862, the regiment's casualties were sixty per cent of the number taken into battle, including the mortal wounding of Colonel Donnelly, and the wounding of Lieut. Col. Brown, resulting in the amputation of his left arm. While in the field hospital he was captured and taken to Libby Prison, exchanged in October, commissioned Colonel of his regiment and commanded it until mustered out.
At the opening of the National Home for disabled Volunteer Soldiers near Dayton, Ohio, he was appointed acting Governor, October 8th, I865, and soon after Governor of the Central Branch. When the branches had increased so that inspections of their condition were required to be made and reported to the President of the Board of Managers he was appointed Inspector General September 23rd, 1880, which office he held until his death, performing its duties until last October.
The presentation(?) of the Monument to the 28th New York Infantry Volunteers August 9th, 1902, in the National Cemetery at Culpepper, Va., in the erection of which he took great interest, as well as the unvailing of the Equestrian Statue to his beloved Corps Commander, Major General Slocum, at Gettysburg last September, which he attended as a duty not to be avoided, severely taxing the physical endurance of a man nearing his eightieth birthday. Within a month its serious effects were shown in an irregular action of his heart, which compelled him to keep his room. The gradual failing of his strength, as a result of frequent attacks of heart trouble, from which there were no substantial rallies, made it apparent to himself as well as his friends that he was approaching the end; but, with no word of repining or doubt, he cheerily greeted his friends, spoke of current events with the interest he was wont to discuss them, seeking to dispell their anxiety rather than awaken it as to his condition. He moved forward to the end with all the resoluteness and composure with which he had met every responsibility in life.
His strong will had sustained him through forty years of physical suffering, at times of the most intense character; yet through all, except for very short periods, he attended to field inspections or office duties with a force and genial manners not often exhibited by men of sound physical condition in middle life. He was at all times faithful, truthful, reliable, discreet, sober-minded, just, generous, genial and gentle, with an unsurpassed courage to meet dangers and disasters, and an unequalled fortitude to sustain hardships and difficulties. He withheld no efforts to promote the welfare or happiness of his comrades and friends. He had passed through all the steps in Masonry to the highest degree, and his life was a true exemplification of its beneficent teachings. This membership, with that in the Loyal Legion, and the Grand Army of the Republic, and for thirty-eight years holding official relationship with the National Home for Disabled Volunteer Soldiers brought him into close acquaintance with a great number of persons, and to all his death will bring the sorrow which comes to us in the loss of the most esteemed and our best beloved. Colonel BROWN served most acceptably as Clerk of Orleans County, having been elected to that position before he was mustered out of the United States service. We understand he was also superintendent of this division of the Erie Canal at a subsequent time.
The surviving children are Charles L. BROWN, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Judge O. Britt BROWN, Dayton, 0.; Edwin F. BROWN, Jr., Columbus, 0. His grandchildren are the Misses Ellen M. Elizabeth BRITT and Anna Lee BROWN, Dayton, O.
The funeral party arrived in town with the body on the 9:48 train Tuesday morning, and were escorted by the Masonic fraternity to the Baptist Church, where services were held, Rev. F. T. Latham officiating. At the request of the deceased, the Masonic rites were observed, the eulogy being delivered by Hon. Irving L'Hommedieu. The interment was on the family lot at Boxwood Cemetery.
Those in attendance at the funeral from out of town were Justice H. Chapman, Governor Soldier's Home, Marion, Ind., also Mrs. Chapman; Charles L. Brown, Philadelphia, Pa.; Mr. and Mrs. Edwin F. BROWN, Columbus, O.; Judge 0. Britt BROWN and wife, and Mrs. E. L. Miller, Dayton, O.; D. R. McKi???, Jr., Miss Leona B. Mckinney, _____, Ind.; Mr. and Mrs. James C. __?__, Miss Maxwell, Col. A. J. Smith, New York; Miss Charlotte Maxwell, Boston, Mass.; Mr. and Mrs. M. J. Peterson, J. Dudley, Lockport; J. B. Thomas, National Military Home, Dayton, 0.
The following surviving veterans of the old Twenty-eighth were present to pay a last tribute to their deceased comrade: C. W. Boyer, Joseph Phillips, Buffalo; James Goggin, Frank B. Seeley, James Ford, J. W. Little, W. H. Crampton, William Winthrop, Lyman Field, John Field, John H. Stall, D. R. Whitcher and John Chambers, Lockport; John Bacon, Medina; Ziba Roberts, East Shelby.
Lieutenant Frank B. Seeley, of Lockport, custodian of the colors of the old Twenty-eighth Regiment, came to town Tuesday to carry out the expressed wish of his beloved Colonel, the late Edwin F. BROWN, that the old flag be wrapped about the casket during the last funeral rites over his body. The flag is the one carried during the engagement in which Colonel Donnelly was killed and Colonel BROWN lost an arm.

Died - In this village, on Saturday morning, Feb. 9th, of typhoid fever, Miss Rebecca Jane, daughter of William (Rebecca) BROWN, Esq., aged 24 years.
Thus the grim monster, Death; has again entered upon the sanctity of the family circle, and borne away one who was most ardently loved by all who knew her. Miss BROWN was modest and retiring in her habits, but most warmly and ardently attached to friends, and ready and willing to devote her life and being to make everyone around her happy. One remarkable trait in her character was that she abhorred the slanderer and traducer of private character, and was never known to utter a single unkind or disrespectful word of any living mortal. In times of affliction she was always a ministering angel, ever ready to lend a helping hand. For several years she was actively engaged as a Teacher in the M. E. Sabbath School of this village, and always took great interest in the work of instructing the minds of the young entrusted to her care with the great principles inculcated in the religion of Christ.
On Sunday her funeral was attended at the M. E. Church by a large concourse of sympathizing neighbors and friends, when the Pastor, the Rev. J. G. Miller, delivered a most impressive and touching discourse from Ecclesiastes 7:2- “It is better to go to the house of mourning than to the house of feasting, for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.” May the young who listened to the discourse lay the solemn truths uttered to their hearts, and be induced to imitate the many virtues of the deceased.

Death under any circumstances is sad, but when the angel messenger enters the household so unexpectedly and suddenly as in the case of Dr. S. C. BROWNELL, who has for many years been a prominent business man of this place, and a strong man, apparently in robust health, is stricken down, the affliction seems doubly hard for the bereaved friends to bear. Dr. BROWNELL was prostrated with apoplexy while attending to his office duties on Thursday morning last, from which he never rallied, being almost speechless from the first and entirely unconscious after a few hours. Medical skill proved unavailing in affording relief, and death resulted early Saturday morning. Samuel C. BROWNELL was born at Madison, Madison Co., N, Y., April 2d, 1834 (1 ?), and was therefore in the fifty-seventh year of his age. Removing to the west, he served in an Iowa cavalry regiment during the early part of the war, attaining to the rank of captain and afterward was appointed Provost Marshall of the fifth district of Iowa. In the year 1869 he settled with his family in Medina, where he has since resided, practicing his profession, that of dentistry. The deceased has occupied various positions of responsibility and trust in our village, having been a trustee, member of the Board of Education and for many years Warden and also vestryman of St. John's Church. He was also a prominent Mason, serving in various official capacities, including that of Worshipful Master.
Dr. BROWNELL was a good and estimable citizen, a faithful friend, a kind and indulgent husband and parent, who will be greatly missed by our community and his departure mourned by his immediate friends and family, who have the sympathy of all in the hour of their sad affliction. In early life, Dr. Brownell was married to Catharine FOX, who preceded him to the better land about six years since. In the year 1887 he was married to Miss Abbie MAUS, who survives him, as also does one daughter - Mrs. C. F. HURD - and one son - George F. BROWNELL, of Buffalo. Funeral services were held at his late residence on Shelby street, and at St. John's Church Monday afternoon, Rev. G. W. West officiating. The burial took place at Boxwood Cemetery.

J. Reeder BRUNDAGE, active in Medina's business and civic life for over a quarter of a century, died at about 1 a.m. this morning in Medina Memorial Hospital, the local institution which had received a large part of his time and interest over the past few years during the planning period for expansion. Mr. BRUNDAGE, 64, had been ill for about two months.
Born in Penn Yan, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Orson BRUNDAGE, the deceased had moved at an early age to Hammondsport, where he grew up and attended school.

He was on the board of directors of the Medina Trust Co. and continued at the present time on the advisory board of the Medina office of the Marine Trust Co. of W .N. Y. In late years, as a member of the board of directors of Medina Memorial Hospital, his interests had been turned toward the hospital expansion program. During last winter, he was acting chairman of the hospital building committee, when final plans and fund raising were done for the half million dollar addition and modernization. Construction is in progress at present.
The local merchant was a member of the Elks Lodge, Moose Lodge and was a 32nd degree Mason. He was a member of the Conservation Club. His interest in community affairs often led him to take part in planning and fund raising, and in the projects of the retail merchants committee.
Survivors include his wife, Rae; two children, Joe R. BRUNDAGE of Medina and Mrs. Edward RAMSEY of Geneva; five grandchildren, Barbara Jo, Scott and J. R. BRUNDAGE of Medina and Allyn and Linda RAMSEY of Geneva; also two brothers, Ira of Hialeah, Fla., and Owen in the State of Washington.

Deceased was for forty years editor and publisher of the Orleans American, retiring about two years since, when his health failed and when J. G. Simpson, of Rochester, purchased the plant and succeeded to the business.
In the death of Mr. BRUNER one of the pioneers of weekly journalism of Western New York, one of the ‘‘Old Guard,’’ has passed away. A stalwart of stalwart Republicans, he was in years past a power in the Republican ranks, with an extensive political acquaintance, and wielded an influence that forced his recognition as a strong factor in local as well as in state politics. He was postmaster at Albion for several years and occupied other political positions of responsibility and trust. He was one of the famous 306 delegates who supported General Grant for a third term.

Mrs. Mary Agnes BRUST, 72, widow of Philip I. BRUST, well-known Medina tailor, was pronounced dead shortly after 6 p.m. yesterday after she had taken her life in the Barge Canal at North Main St. The elderly woman, a native of Medina and lifelong resident of the village, had been ill for some years, and lived with a daughter, Miss Grace BRUST, on North Avenue. She was the daughter of Patrick and Mary COLLINS RYAN.
A Medina Fire Dept. rescue squad was called to the canal bank at 5:35 p.m. and recovered the woman’s body a short distance west of the N. Main St. bridge.

Lyndonville -- Another pioneer of Ridgeway and Yates has passed away. Benjamin BULLOCK, the last of his family except his sister, Mrs. James BARRY, of Knowlesville, died October 18th, at the residence of his daughter, Cynthia, at Detroit, Mich. He was born at Rehobath [sic], Mass., in 1804, came with his father and family to Ridgeway 1814. The father, Hezekiah BULLOCK, took up the farm now owned by John W. Day, and made his residence there with his family of young children in the wilderness in 1816, cleared up the farm, built the celebrated Bullock's mills near by, lived to see a substantial frame house take the place of the log cabin and most of his family settled in life, then pulled up and went to the far west, the state of Michigan. The wife of deceased, a daughter of Richard BARRY, died about forty years ago. Of a family of ten children only three remain -- Nathaniel, of Eureka, Cal., Cynthia, of Detroit, and Jeremiah, of Yates. Deceased had a home with his son, R. D. BULLOCK, of Jackson, Mich., for many years and since the death of R. D. Bullock, has lived with the daughter, Cynthia. He was a staunch member of the Baptist Church, first joining the Church at Yates which was founded by his own grandfather, Rev. Jeremiah IRONS. This sketch would be imperfect without mentioning the fact that deceased was as decided and firmly grounded in his politics as in his religion. He was a dyed in the wool, clear cut, right up and down Democrat. Listening to the frequent wordy combats between this uncle and our father who was just as stiff a whig, all the way up from our earliest recollection, we could not help the conviction that next to his bible and Baptist faith, our good uncle prized his Albany Argus and his Democratic faith. But the battle of life with him is over. We respect his memory for many good qualities of heart and life. [penned by his nephew, Benjamin Benoni BARRY]

Humboldt Pioneer Dead
In 1866 Mr. BULLOCK became manager for the meat market and lumber milling enterprises of
the late Joseph Russ in time becoming a partner in the business. After the death of
Joseph Russ in 1886, with the widow and son of deceased he became one of the administrators
of his estate valued at about $1,500,000 and in the same year was elected public
administrator of the county, serving two years. In 1890 he retired from the market and
milling business and engaged in the realty business and while so engaged in 1897 was
appointed postmaster at Eureka by President McKinley serving the full four-year term and
giving the people one of the best administrations of the office they had had.
Since retiring from the postoffice he had devoted himself to the realty business and the
care of his own property, until a year or so ago when the feebleness of old age
compelled his retirement from active life. For many years he was a director of the
Humboldt County Bank and was one of the founders
of the Home Savings Bank. He was always prominent in Republican politics and served as a
member of the County Central Committees many times, besides being chosen delegate to several.
He was an honored member of the Society of Humboldt County Pioneers and also a prominent
Mason, having been made a master Mason by Humboldt Lodge of this city in 1862.
That same year he was united in marriage in this city with Sarah M., daughter of the
Rev. A. J. HUESTIS, a true pioneer clergyman of this city, and from this union were born
seven children all of whom survive: Minnie, wife of Attorney Denver SEVIER of this city;
Nellie, widow of H. A. LIBBEY, former cashier of the Humboldt County Bank; Blanche, wife of
W. B. SNOW, formerly of this city but now of Santa Ana; Gertrude, wife of Dr. Milton McMURRAY
of San Francisco; Edna and Bertram BULLOCK, the latter with the Russ Company of this city,
and Dr. Russ BULLOCK of San Francisco. Mrs. BULLOCK died in this city January 17, 1902.
It is a coincidence that the death of the husband occurred on the anniversary of his wife's
birth. The funeral is announced to be held from the old home at 314 H Street,
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity.
Religious services will be conducted by the Rev. R. D. Clark assisted

Died in this village, on Sunday, the 30th inst., after a protracted illness from
rheumatism, terminating in heart disease, MR. PHILETUS BUMPUS, in the 72nd year of his age.
The deceased was one of the earliest settlers of this place, having come here with his
father’s family, in the year 1812, and continued to reside here excepting for a little over
two years, that he lived on a farm in Elba, and an adjoining town in Genesee county, from
that time until his death.
His father, Jesse BUMPUS, took up all that part of the west side of this village,
lying north of the line dividing the premises now owned and occupied by the
Hon. Lorenzo Burrows and Mr. Wm. G. Swan and between that and the town of Gaines,
and together with the aid of his brother, Orrin, long since deceased, felled the
trees and cleared up most of the land upon which nearly or quite one fourth of this
village now stands. He was ever an industrious and hard working man, and many of the
earlier improvements and not a little of the prosperity of this village, are due to the
spirit and utility of his enterprise and industry. Well and truly can it be said of him
that he was “one of the noblest works of God! an honest man!” He was a public spirited
citizen, a generous and accommodating neighbor and a kind and indulgent husband and parent.
He leaves a widow (Polly MIX) and three daughters, including his son, our fellow citizen,
Mr. Jesse P. BUMPUS, together with a large circle of friends and acquaintances, to mourn
his loss. But few men who have lived out more than their three score years and then and
engaged so considerably in the busy scenes of life, have left more friends and fewer enemies
among his acquaintances than the subject of this notice. He bore his last illness,
though painful in the extreme, with Christian fortitude and resignation, indulging the
hope of a happier home beyond the grave where pain and sorrow never come and where the
weary are at rest.

Mrs. Polly BUMPUS died on Tuesday, April 3, 1888 of paralysis. We are called upon
to record the loss to our community of another of the early settlers of our village.
One by one they are moving into the windowless mansions of our beautiful Mount Albion,
never to be seen in our midst again. Mrs. BUMPUS was the widow of the late Philetus BUMPUS.
She was one of those unassuming women who are best known in the home circle. Those who knew
her best valued her most highly. She lived to the advanced age allotted to mankind,
being eighty-three years old at the time of her death, seventy-one of which she had been a
resident of this county. She leaves surviving her, three children, Mrs. J. E. MYERS, of
Council Bluffs, IA, Miss Laura BUMPUS, and Jesse P. BUMPUS, of this village. She has for
some years lived with her granddaughter, Mrs. Eliza L. ENGLISH.
She was the daughter of Abiathar MIX and Lydia ROSE, early settlers in the county.
During her long life she was known as a loving wife, a noble mother, and a good and
estimable citizen. Her life has been devoted to those she loved. Her loss will be
realized more acutely by those who knew her best and loved her most. She retained the
faculties of a vigorous intellect until the last and died in the faith of a Christian
and the consciousness of a well spent life.

Relatives of a Medina soldier, who were notified in 1950 that he was missing in action,
have now received confirmation of his death.
The soldier was Sgt. Frank BUNCHUK, son of Mrs. Helen CHANDLER, who was 18-years-old in
Nov. 1950 when he was first reported missing in action with an infantry unit in Korea.
The Adjutant General’s office listed Nov. 2, 1950 as the date on which he was reported
missing.
The last letter written by the sergeant to his mother was written on October 28 of that
same year from near the North Korean city of Pyongyang.
Since no word has since been heard from the missing man, the Adjutant General’s
communication has declared him dead. Under provisions of Public Law 490, his death was
made official on Dec. 31, 1953.

From the Lockport Journal we learn that a baby about six months old, child of
Mr. Philo BURCH, of Ridgeway, Orleans County, died on Thursday night last of
suffocation.-- It appears that the little one was alive and well about two o’clock
in the morning and the mother fed it at that time. The night was extremely cold,
it will be remembered, and it is supposed the child crept down under the clothes
for warmth and was suffocated. The parents were intensely grieved the next morning
on finding their beloved one silent and in the cold embrace of death.

Narrow Escape from Being Electrocuted
Hugh BURNS, son of Patrick BURNS of Glenwood avenue, aged about 15 years,
had a narrow escape from death at about 5:30 Sunday night, and now lies in a serious
condition at his home under the care of physicians.
Young BURNS conceived the idea of ascending one of the towers on the
Buffalo, Lockport & Rochester Railway power transmission lines on Glenwood avenue,
and while his companions waited on the ground he made the ascent. When he reached the
top of the tower, while trying to step over the wires, they noticed a flame shoot up,
and realized his danger at once. They secured a rope from a neighbor, John Grateful, and
two others ascended the pole and tying the unfortunate lad around the
waist lowered him to the ground. Although suffering terribly, he had the grit to hang
to the tower until help arrived.
He was badly burned along his entire right side, from the waist to the head
and arms. He is conscious but suffering. It is thought that he has a good fighting
chance for recovering. As soon as the boy's predicament was discovered local officials
telephoned to Rochester and the power of the trolley line transmission wires was shut
off, allowing the rescuing party to act with safety.

In our last issue we mentioned the fact that Mr. I. K. BURROUGHS was lying
dangerously ill at his residence on the corner of Center and West streets. This week
it is our painful duty to announce that his death occurred on Tuesday morning, of
typhoid pneumonia. Thus has another pioneer of this section passed away. It is nearly
a half century ago since he started in the dry goods business in this town and was for
a long time one of the most prominent business men in this section. He was noted for
his strict integrity and staunch business principles, and as a man of great ability.
His age was eighty-two years. He leaves a wife and a host of friends to mourn their loss.
The funeral services are being held this afternoon.

S. Mainville BURROUGHS, whose death occurred at Monte Carlo, Italy, of
pneumonia, on the 6th inst., was son of the late Silas M. BURROUGHS, who was a
representative in Congress from this district and a Brigadier General of militia,
about the time of his death, some thirty-five years since. His remains, together with
those of his wife, were deposited in Boxwood cemetery, and their son, who was born in
Medina and resided here until attaining his majority, ever sacredly reverenced in
memory the home of his youth. His death will be mourned by many warm friends, and the
following from the American Druggist and Pharmaceutical Record, of February 11th will
no doubt be read with interest:
"His business career was characterized by untiring energy and invincible
determination to succeed, and with the aid of Mr. Wellcome, who became associated
with him later, the house of Burroughs, Wellcome & Co, has established
a very large and profitable business, not only in Great Britain and in Europe,
but in all the British Colonies of Asia, Australia and Africa. Mr. Burroughs made
two trips around the world, visiting all the prominent pharmacies of each country, and
we may say that he was known to the pharmaceutical profession all over the world.
He was a man of exceedingly liberal ideas, broad minded and generous hearted, as his
many friends can testify, and one whose friendship was greatly appreciated by those
who knew him well. He had strong views upon certain political matters, particularly
the "single tax," and while many differed with him, all respected his opinions as
those of a man who had the courage of his convictions. We feel that we have lost a
warm personal friend and that the pharmaceutical profession has sustained in his
death the loss of one of its most able and progressive members."

Frederick W. BUTLER, aged about sixty years, a well-known and
successful jeweler of Albion, committed suicide about one o’clock Sunday
at his home on Central avenue by shooting himself with a 32-caliber revolver.
Coronor Sutton, a neighbor and the family physician for the Butler’s, who
was immediately called, is of the opinion that Mr. BUTLER shot himself
during an attack of temporary insanity, based on the fact that the deceased,
who had had trouble with his head, suffered a severe attack of nervous
prostration a few years ago and at times had acted strangely.
Mr. BUTLER had been visiting in the parlor with his brother-in-law,
Charles WALL, of Rochester, when he suddenly and unceremoniously left the
room and going upstairs to his own room, called to Mr. WALL, but before
the latter could reach him, placed the revolver to his head, just above
the right ear, and discharged it.
Besides the widow (Sarah A. WALL), three children survive - two daughters (Anna Elizabeth &
Hilda W.)and one son (John A.). In politics he was a Democrat. He was a prominent

"We learn with deep sorrow by cablegram from Henry S. Wellcome of the death of
Mr. Burroughs. We have had the pleasure of the friendship of Mr. Burroughs for many
years, as well as the most pleasant business relations with the firm of which he was
the senior member. It has been his habit to send us frequent reminders and appropriate
mementos of his sojourns in different countries, and only a few days ago we received
one of his photographs, taken at the Alhambra, Granada. Mr. BURROUGHS was born in
Medina, N. Y., about 45 years ago. After serving an apprenticeship in the retail drug
business he attended the Philadelphia College of Pharmacy and was graduated therefrom.
He represented the firm of John Wyeth & Bro. for many years and left this firm to
establish himself in business in London.ALBERT CHARLES BURROWS (1861 - 10 Aug 1929)

She has gained the respect of intelligent people, and the love of little children;
She has filled her niche, and accomplished her task,
She has left the world better than she found it, whether it be by an improved flower,
a perfect poem or a rescued soul,
She has always looked for the best in others and given the best she had,
Her life was an inspiration, and her memory a sweet benediction.'
