DIBBLE, Albert K. - In East Bloomfield, Oct 25th, 1863, of fever contracted in hospital in Washington, DC, Albert K. DIBBLE, aged 25 years, 9 months and 8 days. Another member of this family stricken down, with the bright promise of a noble manhood; an innocent victim of this unnatural war although he had participated in no battles. He went to the Army of the Potomac, for a brother, sick in one of the hospitals in the front; and though himself almost an invalid, he generously cared for his brother, until death took his charge from him. He brought him home, saw him buried and only too soon followed him. Truly, "death loves a shining mark," and in taking him, has robbed his family of a devoted son and brother, and the community of a useful Christian member. Two Ons! The sacrifice was accepted; and though we mourn, yet we can but feel it is well with them both. "Hope still lifts her radiant finger, Pointing to the eternal home; Upon whose portals yet they linger, Looking back for us to come."

MARRIED - In this village, on Wednesday, September 13th, by the Rev. G. E. Daggett, Ten Eyck Munson, of East Bloomfield, to Anna M., daughter of Thaddeus Chapin, at Canandaigua.

On the 17th inst., Mr. Timothy Buell departed this life at the advanced age of 81 years. He was a veteran of the war of 1812, and one of the oldest residents of Bloomfield. He was well known throughout the community and his death is lamented by all.

+ Our usually quiet village was startled Thursday morning by the ever appalling cry of fire, doubly so because of the terrific gale raging at the time. The residence of E. A. CARROLL was found to be in flames. When discovered the fire had made such progress that it was impossible to check it. Luckily a greater part of the furniture was saved. The loss is partly covered by insurance. The contents of the house were insured for $1,000 with Messrs. Richardson and Page of Canandaigua; the house for $1,800, with Mr. John Raines.

GAUSS – In East Bloomfield, NY, Dec 24, 1879, after a few days illness, Benjamin GAUSS, Esq., aged 85 years. Mr. GAUSS was born in Genesee country, in the town in which he died, long before the town had been named, and when only about a dozen souls made up the whole population of the now populous and wealthy town of East Bloomfield. His father was of Puritan descent, and one of the first settlers in the town. He came at a time which “tried men’s souls;” when pioneer life was but daily a repetition of toils and hardships, and the crude log hut served as the birth place of the noble son, who for eighty-five years, has so nobly acted his part in the great drama of life. At all times, loyal to his country’s calls; with a large heart and a liberal hand to assuage the necessities of the needy, and with the fraternal care and Christian zeal in the raising of his children, this good man of two centuries has passed away. Some few years since, he, with his wife and only daughter, removed to Rockford, MI., spending a time in that beautifully city, making, by his kindness and urbanity of manners, a host of friends, with whom he felt so grieved to part. While in Rockford his estimable wife, to whom he was so tenderly devoted, bade adieu to earth; but in his loneliness, he sought another refute, “a city not made with hands, eternal in the Heavens.” A few years since he returned to his old home “to die” and sleep with his fathers. He leaves two sons and a daughter to mourn his loss, while the whole community rise up with one accord and “call him blessed.” Dead, but his deeds shall ever live in our hearts until we, like him, “shall see face to face” in that “Sweet by and by.” East Bloomfield, Jan., 2, 1880.

EAST BLOOMFIELD
Mr. Frederic Munson met with a serious mishap last Friday morning. He slipped and fell and broke his leg a little above the knee.
Dr. Partridge cares for it, and he seems to be doing well, but as he is past eighty years of age, it may take it a long time to heal. He is a man remarkable for activity, and of very temperate habits, and these are in his favor, but he is missed even now, as he was present at all of the meetings, and an earnest worker in every good cause. He has the sympathy of all, and we wish him a speedy recovery.
