Mrs. Lavinia A. Bushnell Osborne, widow of D. Henry Osborne, died at her home on Maple Avenue in this village at a late hour last Friday evening, at the age of seventy six years.

The death of Mrs. Osborne removes from this place one of its oldest native residents, she having been born and lived for nearly all of her many years on the site of the house in which she died. Mrs. Osborne was the daughter of William Bushnell, a pioneer settler of this section, who was one of Victor's most prominent citizens in his day. He was widely known for many years as an extensive shipper of farm products, making Bushnell's Basin on the canal the shipping point, that place deriving its name from him.

Mr. and Mrs. Osborne were married in 1847 and in 1855-56 he erected the beautiful home on Maple Avenue from which he passed away a little more than a year ago.

For many years Mrs. Osborne had been an invalid, not being able to enter into the busy activities of life, but during that time was much interested in local events and especially in the work of the First Presbyterian church, of which she had been a member for sixty three years. She was a woman much loved in the community because of her kindness of heart and the broad charity she manifested to all about her. Since the death of Mr. Osborne she had steadily failed in health.

Two daughters and a son survive, Miss Cora B. Osborne, of Victor, Mrs. Mark T. Powell, of Canandaigua, and William B. Osborne, of this village. Funeral services were held from the family home, Monday afternoon, Rev. Frank W. Hill, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, officiating. Interment was made in Boughton Hill Cemetery.

With the beautiful ceremony of the nuptial mass of the Catholic church ritual, William McMahon and Miss May Donnelly were united in marriage at St. Patrick's church, Thursday morning at ten o'clock. Rev. J. J. Donnelly, uncle of the bride, was the celebrant of the mass and was assisted by Rev. Frs. Clark, of Canandaigua, Neville, of East Bloomfield, and Cluney, of Honeoye Falls.

The bridal couple were attended by Jerome McMahon, a brother of the groom, and Miss Alice Donnelly, a sister of the bride. The bride was attired in a beautiful gown of gray broadcloth and the bridesmaid wore green silk. The ushers were Edward Ryan and Milton McMahon and the wedding march was played by Miss Annie Ryan.

At the conclusion of the ceremony, which was witnessed by a large gathering of friends, an elaborate wedding breakfast was served to the members of the immediate families of the contracting parties. The wedding gifts included many beautiful and valuable articles.

After their wedding tour Mr. and Mrs. McMahon will reside on his farm, about one and one half mile west of this village. The groom is one of the most successful of the younger farmers of the town. His bride has for several years resided with her uncle, Rev. J. J. Donnelly, at St. Patrick's parsonage, and both have a wide circle of friends who will wish them every possible happiness.

O'Neil - Smith - St. Bridget's church was the scene of a very pretty wedding, at ten o'clock Monday morning, when Miss Mary Smith, of this town, and Harry O'Neil of Victor, were united in the bonds of matrimony by the Rev. Father P. A. Neville, who also celebrated the nuptial mass.

John O'Neil, brother of the groom, acted as best man. Walter Toomey, of East Bloomfield, and Emmett Turner, of Victor, were ushers. They, like the groom, wore the conventional black.

The bride is one of St. Bridget's most estimable young ladies, having presided at the organ for the past two years, where she proved herself worthy and competent. Her success as a school teacher has been unsurpassed, and while her many friends and acquaintances extend their best wishes, they regret her departure from their midst.

Death of Peter H. Plumb - On the seventieth anniversary of his birth, Monday, October 1st, occurred the death of Peter H. Plumb, a respected and lifelong resident of the town of Farmington.

Mr. Plumb was born on the farm on which he died, only the highway separating the place in which he was born from the home in which his last hours were spent. His parents, William and Mary Hartman Plumb, also died upon the same farm.

Of Mr. Plumb one who knew him well says, "Peter H. Plumb spent his boyhood days and mature years among us and his life is read as an open book. He was a kind, indulgent parent, a good citizen and neighbor, upright and fair in all his dealings with his fellow man, and willing to assist in any act which would benefit them. A few years since he met with an accident which no doubt hastened his death, a fall from which he never fully recovered. In the last two years he became quite feeble and kind and willing hands ministered to his every want.

The funeral was held from the home, Thursday, October 4th, the services being conducted by the Rev. Lorren Stiles, in the absence of the pastor of Mr. Plumb's church, Rev. Harry Witham. It was largely attended by the friends and neighbors of the deceased. The Perinton Choir sang. A good citizen has gone. We should remember his virtues and practice them.
