Last Sunday forenoon, at 10:oo o'clock, occurred the death of Algernon S. NEWMAN. For years, Mr. NEWMAN had been suffering form a stomach difficulty which had more recently been complicated with a kidney problem. His illness had been made more serious by his mental distress on account of the death of his wife, which occurred about the middle of January. Death at the last, was very sudden. An hour before he had been talking with his son, Willis, regarding the drug business. Three minutes before his death he had been conversing with members of the family. Mr. NEWMAN was born May 1, 1837, in East Bloomfield, near the line dividing that town from Farmington. His education was gained at the East Bloomfield Academy, then among the best schools of the county. At an early age he came to Canandaigua, and worked for a time in a clothing store in what is now the Hale block. Later, he went to Rochester, where he worked for an uncle in a drug store and learned the business of pharmacy. At the age of 22, he came to Canandaigua and purchased a drug stock and established himself in that business in the store which he has ever since occupied.

In 1860, he married Augusta Ruby DENTON. To them were born five children, Willis D., Louise M., Horace B., Frank S. and Gratia A., all of whom survive. Mr. NEWMAN was a member of the First Congregational Church of which for many years, he was a trustee. His loss will be much felt by that church. Although usually avoiding any position of a public nature, he was for several years a trustee of the village. He also served as treasurer of the Driving Park Association, during his life and for several years as treasurer of the Ontario Agricultural Society. Mr. NEWMAN's name, during all the years of his adult life, had been prominently identified with the industry of the place. He has continually advanced the line of his business until it has attained a reputation in places remove from Canandaigua. As an honorable, high-minded citizen, and as a progressive, original business man, Mr. NEWMAN's name will be long retained in respectful memory in Canandaigua.

Thursday evening of last week (May 4th), at his residence on Gorham street, occurred the death of James MOORE, at the age of sixty one years.

Within a few years Mr. MOORE had become proprietor of the dry goods business on Main street now owned by George B. ANDERSON. He continued in that business until about 18 years ago, finally selling his stock to Mr. ANDERSON.

Mr. MOORE was throughout his life a conscientious and wife business man and citizen. During the leisure of his late years he took considerable interest in politics, as an ardent Republican.

He leaves him surviving, one brother, a wife (Eliza) and a young son. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, interment being in Woodlawn Cemetery.
