Mr. Pliny Willis, father of Mr. Waterman Willis of this village, died at his home
in VanHornesville on Saturday morning last in the 79th year of his age. He
was a native of the town of Springfield, where he spent all his years, with the
exception of the past eighteen, which had been spent in VanHornesville. He
was a man well known in the northern part of this county, where had for years
been a prosperous farmer, and active, obliging citizen and a kind neighbor. He
is survived by his second wife, and two grandchildren. His funeral occurred
from his late residence in VanHornesville on Tuesday morning last, with
interment at the Springfield Center Cemetery. [Dec. 31-1898 in pencil]

Willis D. Frazer Drowned
About 10 p.m. last Thursday, Willis D. Frazer, a clerk in F. Stanton's store,
Dow Sloan, a clerk in the same store, and two other young men, went bathing
in the pond at the foot of Main street, in this village. Frazer and Sloan were
first in the water, and while Frazer was swimming toward the shore he was
noticed to be beating the water with his hands, but for a moment or two he
was supposed to be playing in the water. But soon, the terrible fact flashed
through their minds that Frazer was drowning. He had evidently been taken
with cramp. Sloan then made two desperate efforts to save his companion. He
seized him ___ but could not bring him to the shore. The drowning man
clutched at him with the energy of despair, and he with difficulty released
himself. The other two boys on the bank disrobing, being unable to swim,
could afford no assistance.
The news of the dreadful calamity soon spread through the village and crowds
of people assembled to aid in finding the body, which was recovered at
midnight, after being in the water one hour and a half. The body when found,
was only about two rods from shore.
Frazer was about twenty years old and resided in the town of Springfield, in
this county. He leaves an aged mother to mourn his untimely end, whose
chief support and stay he was. He was a singularly quiet and affable young
man, always attending strictly to business, and was greatly beloved by all
who knew him. His remains were taken to Springfield, on Friday, for interment.

The Death of Col. Andrew Davidson
It is with feelings of peculiar sadness that we are called upon to record this
event. It was not wholly unexpected, yet it came as a sudden blow to his
friends, and to the whole community where for so long a time he had been a
prominent, influential and useful citizen, justly popular with all classes, and
for years at the head of the Veterans f the late civil war in this locality. He
was at one time President of the Delaware-Otsego Veterans' Association. For
one or two terms he served as Chief of the Village Fire Department. He has
been for several years a member of the Session of the Presbyterian church of
Cooperstown.
Andrew Davidson was a man of natural and acquired ability, of warm and
generous impulses, of decided opinions, of good executive ability. He was a
man to be relied upon; he was bound by his word. As a husband and father:
devoted, affectionate, tender and true; as a public officer: conscientious and
right-minded; as a political leader: manly and straight-forward. No citizen of
Cooperstown more fully enjoyed the confidence and respect of his
fellow-citizens. His reputation brought its reward: He was elected a State
Senator, was appointed Deputy Secretary of State, Deputy State Treasurer,
Deputy U. S. Commissioner of Pensions and then acting Commissioner; and in
1900 he was appointed to the important position of Commandant of the
Soldiers' and Sailors' Home at Bath, N. Y. That office he held at the time of
his death. It is simple justice to say, that he creditably and fully met all the
requirements of these several positions.
In the Home, surrounded by more than eighteen hundred of fellow-soldiers,
he "slept his last sleep" on the night of Sunday last, passing away at an early
hour, Monday morning. At his bed-side were his son, his two daughters, his
son-in-law Judge Willis and his daughter-in-law Mrs. C. W. Davidson. His
daughter Miss Davidson made her home with her father; the others of these
near relatives hastened to him when advised of his more dangerous condition.
Col. Davidson was last in Cooperstown in the month of May, having recovered
from a recent illness, and was in apparently better health than he had
enjoyed for a long time. He spent a week or two here, and soon after his
return to Bath he suffered a relapse, and from that time on he gradually failed
in health. For several years he had suffered from a stomach trouble, at times
very painful and disabling, which physicians finally said indicated cancer of
the stomach. An operation, if successful, might save his life; and it was
determined on, and skilfully performed on Sunday. From the effects the
weakened patient did not rally, but gradually sank till 2:30 the following
morning, when death came to his relief. His beloved and devoted wife died in
February, 1900.
Andrew Davidson enlisted as a private in company E, 121st New York
Volunteer Infantry, in August, 1862. At the organization of his regiment he
was made Second Sergeant of his company, and in 1863 was promoted to be
Sergeant-Major of the regiment.
He was subsequently commissioned by President Lincoln as a First Lieutenant
in the Thirtieth United States Colored Infantry, and was made Adjutant of the
regiment when the Ninth corps at the Battle of the Wilderness. His regiment
subsequently was placed in the breastworks in front of Petersburg, and
remained there until sent under Generals Butler and Terry to operate against
Fort Fisher, N. C.
Mr. Davidson was promoted to a Captaincy, was Aide de Camp and acting
Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of General Delevan Bates, and
Subsequently was appointed by General Ruger, commanding the Department
of North Carolina, acting Inspector General and assigned to the staff of
General Charles J. Paine, commanding the Eastern District of North Carolina.
He was mustered out of the service with his regiment in Dec. 1865, with the
rank of Brevet Colonel, after a service of three years and four months. He was
in nearly all the battles of the Army of the Potomac up to the time that his
regiment was sent to Fort Fisher, and was never absent from duty except
while in the hospital for wounds received in battle.
While in the 121st N. Y. at the battle of Salem Church, May 3, 1863, he was
shot through both legs above the knees, and was sent to Douglas Hospital,
Washington; the last of July that year he had so far recovered as to join his
regiment then at Warrenton, Va. He was slightly wounded in the hand at
hatcher's Run, and again in the face, slightly, at Petersburg, when the mine
exploded. Col. Bates and he led the colored troops into the Crater at the time
of the explosion.
He was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor for "distinquished bravery"
at the "Battle of the Mine," Petersburg, VA., July 30, 1864.
Col. Davidson was born in Scotland, Feb. 12, 1840, and came with his parents
to Otsego county in 1846. By teaching school in winters and attending
Cooperstown Seminary ____he was ready to enter college when he enlisted in
the Union Army. After the war he studied law and was admitted to practice.
Soon after, in 1874, the editor of the Journal called upon him in the office of
Judge Bowen, and said to him: "Mr. Davidson, you have occasionally written
up some local matters for the press, and have an evident talent in that
direction. It generally takes a long time for a young man to build up a law
practice. If you desire, you can at once enter upon the career of an editor, all
the better qualified for it because of your knowledge of the law. The
Republican is for sale; H. I. Russell is foreman of the office, and an
experienced printer; and I think you would do well should you join in the
purchase of the establishment." The suggestion was acted upon; the purchase
made by them in 1874, and ten years later he became sole proprietor; on his
becoming of age his son Clarence W. Davidson became associated with him in
conducting the paper.
Little did the writer think at the time of this interview with Mr. Davidson, that
he would survive him as a journalist and have to perform the sad duty of
penning his obituary. We had joined issue in many a hard-fought political
campaign, but had come out of them personal friends.
Col. Davidson belonged to several patriotic and other organizations, viz: the
Loyal legion, medal of Honor Legion, Grand Army of the Republic, Mohican
Club, he was also a member of Otsego lodge, No. 138, F. & A. M., of which he
was a Past master; he was also a member of Otsego Chapter, No. 26, R. A.
M., and an Odd Fellow.

From the Republican

From 2:30 until 3:30 Monday afternoon the soldiers at the home came to his
late residence, where they were given the opportunity to view the remains. At
4 o'clock the same afternoon, a short service was held at the house, which
was largely attended by his friends in Bath. Rev. Mr. Frtost of the
Presbyterian church and Rev. Mr. Furbish, one of the chaplains of the Home,
officiated.
The remains were brought to Cooperstown Tuesday.
In regard to his illness: Recovering from a severe illness over a year ago, he
had in the interval been in apparent good health until early in July last, when
he had a hemorrhage of the stomach. From this he had recovered slowly.
About the first of the present month he was taken worse. A few days later his
physician became convinced that there was a stricture to the passage from
the stomach. Dr. Chas. Stockton, the eminent specialist, was called in
consultation and agreed with his physician that an operation to reopen it was
imperative. Both were quite confident from the symptoms that the cause was
an ulcer and not cancer. An operation was decided upon and Dr. Roswell Park
of Buffalo was summoned. It was performed Sunday afternoon at the Home
Hospital. It was found that the ulcer had developed into a cancer. It was the
opinion of Dr. Park that this change had taken place just before the
hemorrhage in July. The operation was successful but Mr. Davidson did not
rally from it and passed away in a few hours at the commandant's residence.

With deep regret, and unfeigned sorrow, we have heard of the death of Flora
Vedder, at her father's residence in Springfield, Otsego county, Aug. 18th,
1883.
An amiable and estimable young lady, admired and beloved in life, and
lamented in death by all that knew her. Some weeks since we enjoyed a visit
with her and her parents, with pleasure we shall long revert to it with the
liveliest recollections, among the transpiring events of the past. She was the
picture of health, but how soon alas, an only, and lovely daughter, in the
morning of life gone. Parents, sympathizing neighbors, friends and physicians
did all that could have been done to prolong her life and restore her to health,
but all human efforts proved unavailing.
Blessed with fond and loving parents, and surrounded with an immense
fortune, she enjoyed everything she desired, and all the worldly preferment
could bestow.
In this severe affliction and sad bereavement, we would condole and
sympathize with her parents, and as Flora, the flower of the family mansion,
has been transplanted to a flower in the brighter realm of glory, they have the
assurance and a buoyant hope of a happy reunion and recognition beyond the
sorrows of this life, and the transitory toils of time.
The Rev. Mr. Peck of that village, officiated at the funeral last Saturday, he
said he could not think of a more appropriate text, on that mournful occasion,
than that of a simular one, when bereaved parents, and sorrowing friends,
lamented the loss of a lovely and only daughter in the time of our Savior,
when it was announced that she was dead, he replied, "Fear not, she is not
dead, but sleepeth."
The voice of death loudly speaks of the brevity of human duration, and life's
frailities. The shadows of bereavement and stillness of sorrow, are hovered
around all our homes, and throughout our earthly existence, they are
continually interwoven and commingled together. Disease and death fade the
blooming cheeks of young and aged alike and none are exempt from its
inexorable mandates.
Life is short and uncertain with us all, sooner or later the sad message will
come to each and every one, let us live and be prepared to meet it, with the
hope of an heavenly and immortal existence hereafter.
The want of space prevents us from enlarging reports of Mr. Pecks' excellent
sermon on that occasion.
In conclusion he said that, the presence of so many sympathizing friends,
show the estimate friendship she had with all of her acquaintances, and that
she was endeared to us all by innumerable associations which will forever be
cherished in fond memory.
Well may it be said that, the actions of her life, and the qualifications of her
heart, cultivated those affections that all her friends and acquaintances could
love and admire. She ever made society pleasant, and her home desirable.
Love and happiness were her constant guests, none knew her but to love her,
and none named her but to praise.
Her beautiful organ and piano, upon which she so frequently played "Sweet By
And By," and "God is My Refuge," were heavily draped, and ladened with the
choicest flowers, as also was the head of the casket. Some of the rarest and
choicest kinds were sent from Saratoga.
The casket in which she lay was a red cedar shell, with a hinge-lid extending
the entire length of it, and was covered with cream colored silk plush, with
satin drapes, silk cord and tassels, silver rod handles the entire length of it,
also covered with white silk. On the inside of the lid was an elegant tuffed
satin cushion, handsomely trimmed with satin festoons throughout.
The robe was a beautiful cream colored merino and satin.
In going from Mr. Vedder's house to the cemetery, about a mile distant, there
was a constant line of carriages and wagons, which by actual count numbered
118. The hearse entered the cemetery long before the last carriage left Mr.
Vedder's door yard. There were six bearers and six pall-bearers. The
pall-bearers were handsomely dressed in white, emblematic of the pure that
lay within the casket. Each of the pall-bearers had a bouquet of flowers and
choice evergreens. After the casket had been deposited in the grave, and a
few appropriate remarks were made by the pastor, the pall-bearers strewed
the flowers over the casket, then the bearers each carefully dropped a little
dirt from their hands thereon, the pastor repeating dust unto dust, after which
the pall-bearers strewed the evergreens they had amid the same.
It is creditable to state that Mr. Guardenier, the undertaker of that town, and
all the officers in charge, had everything as neatly arranged as could be
expected, and the solemnities of the occasion required.
Richfield Springs Aug. 22, 1883.

Mrs. M. Louise Young
Mrs. M. Louise Young passed quietly away at her home near East Springfield
Saturday morning, December 16, after a painful and continuous sickness of
more than five months duration.
Mrs. Young was born February 12, 1842, in the town of Springfield, where she
always resided. On the 17th day of October, 1866, she became the wife of
Sheldon A. Young, who survives her, together with her aged father and
mother. Last August Mrs. Young was taken to Albany, where it was found
necessary for her to submit to an operation, which is one of the most
dangerous and most difficult known in surgery. The operation was performed,
and after remaining in the hospital until the later part of October, she was
removed to her home. Although she rallied somewhat from the effects of the
operation, still her trouble had assumed such a form as to be beyond relief;
and although she received every attention that loving hearts and kind hands
could give, still she gradually declined until the last. At no time, however,
during her sickness did she give up hope, and even a short time before her
death she expressed herself as confident of her recovery. During her sickness
she manifested that same patience, that same loving spirit, and those same
traits of pure, noble womanhood, which were so characteristic of her before
she was stricken with disease.
Mrs. Young was a member of the Episcopal Church and was one of its most
active and earnest workers. She was leader of her church choir and secretary
of the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Paul's church.
A true and untiring friend of the poor, always ready and anxious to lend a
helping hand to those in trouble, always displaying that same happy, cheerful
disposition, coupled with the purity and nobility of a true Christian character,
she commanded the respect and admiration of all who knew her. Next to her
home, her loss will be felt most keenly in the church, where she never left a
duty unperformed, and whose calls she always answered with a cheerfulness,
a willingness and a wholeheartedness which was so inspiring to all who were
associated with her. From her aged father and mother there has been taken a
kind and affectionate daughter, from her husband, a pure, noble and loving
wife; the community in which she lived has been deprived of that influence
and those elevating qualities which are never better exemplified than in the
life of a pure and truly Christian woman; the church, which she loved so well,
has been deprived of an earnest worker and a noble Christian servant. But
associated with this sorrow and this grief, there is the thought that she, who
was so pure, so noble and so good, she, who loved God so dearly while here,
is happier there in the presence of her Master, whom she always served so
faithfully, that she is now in his household, the ambition and aim of every
earnest Christian, and that she has stood before God, with Christ as her
sponsor, and received that blessed reward, "Well done, good and faithful
servant."
From this earth there has been taken a beautiful life, a noble Christian
woman; to God's heavenly host there has been added a brave, courageous
and perfect soldier, and to that spiritual choir there has been joined another
beautiful voice, which will be untiring and unceasing in its praises to God. A
noble child has been removed from this world of sorrow and disappointment,
and taken home to her father; a just spirit has been made perfect with Christ,
and God's promise of a complete salvation through Him, and an eternal home
with Him hereafter, has been again fulfilled.

EARLIER DAYS IN DANUBE
Interesting Events Recalled by the Death of Abram Wagner - Civil War Times
St. Johnsbury, Feb. 29. - Abram Wagner, whose lamentable death on the
highway in the town of Stark, Saturday night, has caused a great regret in
that section, was a son of Abram I. Wagner (formerly spelled Waggoner),
(1798-September 1880), in his day one of the most prominent citizens of
Danube. Abram I. Wagner was the great grandson of George Wagner of
Weisbach, Baden. John Engelhardt Wagner, son of George Wagner, was the
first of the family to come to the new world. His son, Jacob Wagner (died in
1833, aged 71 years), served in the Revolution at Oriskany, and elsewhere.
He was one of the party pursuing the Tories and Indians, when Walter Butler
was killed in 1780. At the close of the war he located in the Elm Grove
neighborhood, Danube, his wife being Solome Bronner of Stark, a relative of
the family of Attorney Myron G. Bronner and Alderman F. F. Bronner of Little
Falls, and Chief of Police Walter I. Bronner of Mohawk. Of his children his
oldest son Jacob Wagner settled in Pamelia, Jefferson County; Felix (died
1885) located on an adjoining farm in Danube, and John, the youngest, after
residing many years in Danube, died at the home of a daughter in Schoharie
County, aged 84 years. Abram I., the second son, remained on the homestead
until his death, on which it became the property of the deceased Abram
Wagner. He married Catherine Walrath, who died in 1877. Abram I. Wagner
was one of the early members of the Lutheran Church of Minden, organized
from the old Minden church at Hallsville in 1834, on a basis of pietistic,
anteslavery, total abstinence, and anti-secret society convictions. This
congregation became one of the principal components of the Franckean
Lutheran synod, organized at that church in May, 1837, from the Hartwick
synod the two merging with the New York and new Jersey synod in the New
York synod in 1908. On his decease in 1880, a former pastor, Rev. J. H.
Weber, came from Pennsylvania to officiate at his funeral. Of the large family
of Abram I. and Catherine Wagner, Abram Wagner was the last survivor.
Stephen, the oldest, after residing in the town of Palatine a few years,
returned to Elm Grove, where he died October 1894. John J. died at Little Falls
a few years ago. Of the daughters, Catherine, Mrs. Walgamath of Palatine,
died recently, while on a visit to the deceased at his home in Starkville. Mrs.
Alonzo Sanders of Indian Castle rather more than 20 years ago, at Indian
Castle. Eliza died at home in 1888, Almira, wife of Jacob Miller, died at
Starkville. Mrs. Moses Shaut died a few years ago, at her home at Ward's
Hollaw, Stark. Rosina died young. About six years ago Mr. Wagner removed to
Starkville, retaining the oversight of his farm. Both deceased and his father
and brothers were active members of the Republican party, Abram I. Wagner
having been one of the original political anti-slavery men. His last vote was
cast in 1876 for Hayes and Wheeler, his physical disabilities making it
impossible for him to get to the polls after that.
A Political Conflict
He was a factor in one of the most closely contested town meetings ever held
in Danube. In 1853 there were three tickets in that town. At the election the
previous November Franklin Pierce received a plurality of four for President,
Zenas Green, Whig, of Indian Castle, receiving a plurality of over 90 for
county clerk, and the Free Soil Party, coming in third with a fair vote. At the
town meeting in March, 1853, the Democrats renominated Hon. Daniel
Bellinger, for supervisor. The Whigs nominated Philip Jones, the Free Soil
party also having a full ticket. Of this third ticket the Whigs endorsed Daniel
I. Overocker for town clerk and Abram I. Wagner for highway commissioner.
The writer remembers hearing some ladies denouncing this action of the
Whigs as unfair, a view in which he did not coincide. The contest was sharp in
those days, Mr. Jones being elected supervisor, and Mr. Wagner winning the
office of Highway Commissioner easily, but Mr. Overocker was defeated for
clerk by the Democratic nominee, Calvin Harden, by one vote. It was said that
Mr. Bellinger, who was one of the old school Democrats, was so sure of his
election that he had the hotel table set for the oyster supper with which
successful candidates were accustomed to regale their friends, and wanted
the plates filled before the result of the canvass was announced, but the
landlord, although a supporter of Mr. Bellinger, had his bump of caution too
largely developed to take any risks. It was 10 years, February 1863 before
John Smith of East Creek Landing the next Democratic supervisor, was
elected, at a time during the Civil War when the National cause seemed to be
at an extremely low ebb, and its supporters were greatly demoralized. In fact
it seemed that the war was only prosecuted because there was no alternative
between the perfunctory continuance of the conflict and a complete collapse.
Abram Wagner never was a candidate for any political position, but his
interest in politics may be inferred from the fact that the fatal trip to Little
Falls was undertaken for the purpose of attending the anti Strobel Republican
conference at the Richmond in that city.
Mrs. Wagner, who survives her husband, was a daughter of the late Henry
Flagg of Minden. One daughter also survives, Maud, wife of Elmer Smith,
Proprietor of the Starkville Hotel, son of Abram H. Smith of Starkville, a
veteran of the Civil War and a descendant of Johannus Smith, who erected
the first residence at Starkville. Among nephews and nieces are Fayette
Wagner of Elm Grove; Ida, wife of Sanford Chronkhite of Minden; Hilda, wife
of Rush F. Lewis of Little Falls; Howard Sanders and Cora of Indian Castle;
Julius Sanders of the South Side, St. Johnsville. Other relatives who are well
known are John F. Wagner of Omaha, Neb., Mrs. T. Clark Swift and Miss
Lucinda Wagner of Jordanville, Mrs. Oliver Barker of Elm Grove, Grant Shull of
Indian Castle, Mrs. Norman Countryman of Northern Illinois, Mrs. Will Wagner
of Iowa, Mrs. Peter Bauder and Elmer Bauder and Alvaro Bauder of Stark, and
Daniel Wagner of Jefferson County. We omitted to mention in the proper
place that Mrs. Peter Monk, Sr., of Elm Grove, and Mrs. Abram G. Walrath of
Brookman's, Minden, were sisters of Abram I. Wagner.
