     Paulina Brown Twitchell was born in Pulaski, NY living in the old homestead where
she was born until 1892, when her husband, Augustus L. Twitchell, died and the old
place which for over three quarters of a century had been owned and occupied by Daniel
Brown and his descendents passed into other hands. Since then she has lived with her
only surviving children, Mrs. Edwin A. Reeves and Mrs. Darwin B. Barrett in Cleveland,
Ohio, and at the later's home died May 10, 1905. In Cleveland as well as in Pulaski, she
leaves many warm friends and will be remembered by those as a woman possessing
unusual qualities.
     When but a girl of seventeen years she joined the Pulaski Methodist church, retaining
her membership over half a century, and was the last of the charter members of that
church.
     Augustus L. Twitchell joined the same church the following year and in 1852 they
were united in marriage. Thus early commencing life's work together in perfect harmony
of thought and purpose, and thus they lived until the union was severed by the death of
the husband in 1892. Ever living by the golden rule, thinking only of the welfare and
happiness of each other and their children, the perfect Christian example, never once
failing, the happy love abiding home is a memory sweet valued and ever helpful to those
who knew and loved them best.
     Over a century ago Mrs. Twitchell's grandfather, Benjamin Winch, came to Pulaski as
a government employee, surveying the land in this vicinity, and her grandfather Brown
was a veteran of the Revolutionary War. Her father Daniel Brown, died on the old
homestead. The lands he cleared with his own hands and where he, together with his
wife, Sally Winch Brown, lived and raised a family of nine children. Of this family there
are now living Mrs. Amorette Champney, of Greig, NY; Mrs. Ann Eliza May, of Pulaski;
and Mr. Gustavus Brown, of Traverse City, Mich., besides over thirty grandchildren.
     Mrs. Twitchell's only son, Augustus Brown Twitchell, died just six months before his
mother. The shock was to much and she slowly grew weaker until when attacked with
pneumonia she had but little strength to resist the disease, living but four days.

     The following from last Thursday's Syracuse Currier will be read with much regret by
the friends and former neighbors of Mr. Weed and family who will be remembered as
former residents of this place.
     "The body of Ira T. Weed, a painter and paper hanger, who up to two weeks ago lived
with his family at 349 Westcott St., was found in the bottom of the Erie canal at the foot
of University Ave. a few minutes before 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon. It was found by
William H. Reymour, an engineer employed at Pettit's wood yard at 1101 East Water St.
     Shortly before noon the water was drawn off from the mile level just east of Leighton's
lock, to allow some repair work on the flood gates. Reymour was returning to work from
dinner and was crossing University Ave., when he discovered the body partially
imbedded in the mud. He notified undertaker Frank Snyder, who had the body removed to
the morgue on West Fayette St.
     Weed was attired in a suit of black diagonal material, with new underclothing, a white
shirt, black four-in-hand necktie, and a pair of new shoes. A patent medicine book and a
small wooden handles screw driver were the only articles found in his pockets.
     The body was badly discolored, and had evidently been in the water a week. George
Clark, a painter living on South Salina St., called at the undertaking rooms last night and
identified the body as that of Weed. Weed's mind has been slightly deranged for some
time past, and previous to his leaving home a close watch was kept on him.
     Two weeks ago today he started out for a short walk about his neighborhood during
the early hours of the morning and failed to return. A week ago last Monday he was seen
by a friend walking about the city. Weed's family instituted a search for him, but without
success, and nothing was learned of his whereabouts until the body was found yesterday.
     He was 60 years of age, and leaves a widow and three children - two sons and a
daughter. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. It is a probable case of
suicide."

    The sudden death of Valmore Weed at his home east of Lacona early Sunday morning
was a shock to his numerous friends. He had been in better health and spirits than usual
and had been haying the previous week, working in the hay field all day Saturday. That
night he retired at the usual hour, but at 4 o'clock Sunday morning Mrs. Weed heard her
husband breathing heavily and groaning as if suffering intensely. She ministered to him
and summoned a physician, but he passed away before medical aid reached his side. Mr.
Weed was the son of the late Levi S. Weed, and he is survived by his wife and one
daughter, Mrs. Clarence Simons of Mexico. A genial man, he had hosts of friends and
had led in an annual event known as the Val Weed picnic of farmers of this section held

been one of Warren county's widely known residents, having been a court stenographer of
the Warren county courts during the last 35 years and clerk of the borough of Warren for
12 years.

could do, the final summons came today at 12:20 p.m., and he passed peacefully away at
his home on Fourth avenue.
     William B. Weed was born in Daysville, New York, March 14, 1853, and therefore he
was 60 years of age. His boyhood days were spent in the town where he was born. Early
in life he became filled with the desire to become an expert stenographer. He entered
Pulaski academy where he took up shorthand and business course and became very
efficient, graduating with honors. Thirty-five years ago he came to Warren and within a
few months was appointed court stenographer, a position with he very efficiently filled
until ill health prevented him from performing his duties. During the last 12 years he also
acted in the capacity of city clerk and proved himself to be a faithful and capable official.
     Many years ago Mr. Weed became affiliated with the B. P. O. E., joining the Warren
lodge of which he has since been a prominent member. He held the office of trustee in the
lodge for many years and as a recognition of his services the lodge some ten years ago
presented him with a life membership. He was the first member of Warren lodge to be so
honored. Mr. Weed was also a member of the K. O. T. M.

     The funeral of Mrs. Ann Stewart, who passed away at her home two miles east of this
village, December 19, 1901, was largely attended from Christ church at Richland, the
22nd. Mrs. Stewart had been in poor health since last May, although able to be about the
house most of the time until within a few days of her death. She was a great sufferer, her
disease being hardening of the liver. Her children tenderly cared for her, and all that
loving hands could do to relieve her suffering was done. Last May she went to Chicago to
visit her sister, but her health being so poor she soon returned home and gradually failed
until the end came. She never made a public profession of religion, but believed in the
Lord Jesus and was ready and willing to go to that land where sickness and death can not
come.
     Mrs. Stewart's maiden name was Ann Marpole, born in Machynaleth, Wales, in 1832.
When about sixteen years  of age she came to America with her brother, Edward
Marpole, and lived with an Uncle in Rome for a time, then came to Richland, where she
married Draper Stewart in 1850, and there resided until her death.
     Nine children are left to mourn her loss, Mrs. Mary E. Wood, Draper H. Stewart, Ethel
Stewart, Mrs. Nellie Price, Mrs. Anne Stinson, all of Richland; Mrs. Sophia Voodre,
Dexter; Mrs. F. S. Richards, North Bay; Edward Stewart, New Haven; Lemuel Stewart,
