DIED - At his residence in Gorham, Ontario County, NY on the 20th of January, Martin BLODGET, in the 79th years of his age. The deceased was born in Massachusetts and removed to this state when he was a youth. He has been a resident of Gorham for more than half a century and was familiar with the toils and hardships of a new country. He was known as an industrious enterprising farmer, a man of strict integrity and beloved by all who knew him.

He professes a hope in Christ when about forty years old, and united with what was then known as the Gorham and Middlesex Baptist Church. He brought with him into the Church the same energy of character that had been manifest in the business relations of life. His energy and activity at once made him a prominent and efficient member. His place was seldom vacant in any of the meetings of the Church, and he was ready to aid every good work. He loved the zion of God and rejoiced in her prosperity, and his dying prayer was for her advancement. The consolations of religion that had sustained him for many years, made him calm and peaceful in his last hours. Death to him had no sting and the grave, no terrors. His was the victory of faith. He has left a widow and a number of children and grandchildren to mourn his loss. The church has lost a faithful member, the community a good neighbor and the town a valuable and worthy citizen.

At Gorham, at the residence of James Moor, on the 20th inst., by Rev. Y. S. Hill, Mr. Leonard Knapp to Miss Keren H. Moor, all of Hopewell.

+ Gorham, Feb. 8 - Gorham people were shocked on Wednesday to learn of the sudden death of Charles WERLEY, a farmer living south of the village. In the morning, Mr. WERLEY drove to the village after his mother, and upon returning he went into the swamp in company with others, to cut wood. A tree that had been felled, was lodged in falling and as he made an effort to dislodge it with a blow from his ax, a piece of a limb flew and struck him on the side of the head, rendering him unconscious. He as taken to his home, where he died in a short time. Mr. WERLEY was a young man and a respected citizen, and his sad and sudden death has cast a gloom over the community. He leaves a wife and three small children, besides a mother and two sisters, Mrs. Frederick KINDELBERGER and Mrs. Elmer PEARSON, who have the sympathy of all in their sad affliction. Funeral will be held this Saturday afternoon at 1 o'clock from the house and burial will be in the Gorham cemetery.

All through the night, Dr. ALLEN who lives next door to the two families was kept busy trying to relieve the stricken ones who improved as the day advanced. The ice cream was prepared in the family with what was supposed to be all due care and just what was the cause of the poison, remains a mystery. Mrs. John ROAT, a sister of Mrs. DICKERSON, who ate about a tablespoonful was also a victim of the poison. Strange to say, Mr. DICKERSON ate the least of any of those who were sick. It is thought that had not immediate relief been at hand, the result with the latter would have been death.

A fire, which destroyed a Rushville farmhouse on Sunday morning and caused the death of seven persons was one of the most shocking tragedies in the history of this section.

In the burning frame structure, which was owned by George Housel, were Mr. and Mrs. Housel, their married daughter, Mrs. Edgar Arris, and her husband and the latter’s six children. The fire was discovered shortly after one o’clock. It is supposed to have started from the kitchen range fire, the only fire In the house. Housel awakened by the crackling of the flames, found the entire interior of the house ablaze. He was obliged to kick out a window light in the sleeping room with his bare feet in order to escape and help his wife to safety.

Mrs Arris had been a cripple for the past five years and suffered a frozen leg and foot this winter. Her husband carried her from the burning structure and went back to try and save his children, but was cut off by the flames. He was forced to jump from an upstairs window to save his own life. The children all slept in one room, three in one bed, two in another and the baby in a third. All lost their lives, being burned beyond recognition. Both Mr. and Mrs. Arris were burned and injured. They were taken to Memorial Hospital at Canandaigua, where Mrs. Arris died on Sunday afternoon. Arris suffered a broken arm and second degree burns. Mr. Housel, the owner of the house, suffered burns about the face and neck, and Mrs. Housel, who had been sick for a week, suffered from shock and exposure. Dr. W. P. Rhudy of Penn Yan is attending them.

The Housel and Arris families. according to neighbors, experienced extremely hard luck during the past few years. Mr. Housel opened his home to his daughter and family to assist them after Mrs. Arris had suffered a frozen leg and foot from insufficient warmth in the home. The meager supply of canned fruit in the Housel cellar was smashed and destroyed as was every personal possession of the ten persons.

The burned dwelling was built by Housel five years ago, to replace his home, which was burned in 1931.

The Salvation Army corps of. Penn Yan is providing clothing and other necessities for the survivors of the tragedy.

The Arris family lived on the Johnson farm, about a mile north and west of Rushville, until about February 1, when because of cold and severe weather and the distance the children had to walk to school, they moved to home of Mrs. Arris’ parents. There the children were able to attend school at the Pine Corner’s school, which is just across the road from the Housel place. Vina, aged 10, was in the third grade: George, aged 9, was in the second grade and Waneta was a first grade pupil. (note: Arris family burials made in Rushville Ceme, Gorham)

Mrs. George Housel, aged 55, formerly of Rushville, died at the Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital in Penn Yan, Wednesday April 15th.

Mrs. Housel suffered burns, exposure and shock in a fire, which destroyed their home in Rushville, March 1st, when her daughter,

Mrs. Edgar Arris and her six children, lost their lives. Mrs. Housel was in the Penn Yan hospital for some time following the fire receiving treatment

for burns and her son-in-law, Edgar Arris, was in Memorial Hospital here for several days with second degree burns and a fractured wrist.

Mrs. Arris and her six children were buried in Rushville Cemetery, a week ago and a memorial service was in Rushville last Wednesday.

The last rites had been deferred pending the expected recovery of the maternal grandparents.

Funeral services for Mrs. Housel were tentatively set for this afternoon in a funeral home in Rushville. She will be buried beside the other victims.
