The many friends of Willis E. LaBuff were shocked yesterday afternoon to hear of his sudden death, for he had apparently been in his usual health, although Thursday evening he complained of having pain about the heart. Yesterday morning he went as usual to his barber shop on Castle street but in the afternoon he remained home. Shortly after 2:30 he was taken violently ill. Dr. H. J. Knickerbocker was summoned, as was also Dr. C. C. Lytle. Dr. Knickerbocker was with him at the time of his death at 3 o'clock, and he pronounced death due to rheumatism of the heart. Mr. LaBuff was 50 years old and was born in Dexterville, Oswego county. About five years ago he came to this city and was in the employ of F. E. Stillwell, but for the past three years has conducted a barber shop of his own at No. 153 Castle street. He was a member of Old Castle Lodge, Ontario Encampment, I. O. O. F., and of the Iroquois Club. It is expected that these organizations will attend the funeral in a body. Besides his widow, the deceased is survived by his mother, Mrs. Marian LaBuff of Minetto, N. Y., one son, Jesse B. LaBuff, and one daughter, Frieda; two brothers, Lemuel LaBuff of Cato and Joseph LaBuff of Oswego.

The death of Hiram Ladd, an aged and highly respected citizen of this village, occurred at his home early Tuesday morning. Mr. Ladd was born in 1823, on the Ladd homestead in the northern part of the town, now occupied by Charles F. Blazey, and had spent his entire life in Victor. In 1866, he sold the place of his birth and purchased of Ansel Perkins a farm just on the western border of this village upon which he has since lived. In 1873 he erected, in a most sightly location, an unusually fine residence and it is the Ladd home which so frequently attracts the attention of strangers in passing through the town by railroad. Mr. Ladd was a farmer by occupation. He was a man of deep convictions and of strict integrity and enjoyed the highest respect and confidence of his townsmen; in his family he was the kindest of husbands and fathers. When the Prohibition party was first organized, Mr. Ladd became prominent in its local councils and in many campaigns he was the nominee of the party for important offices. He is survived by a widow, one son, John M. Ladd of Victor, and four sisters, Mrs. Silas Richardson of Victor; Mrs. Celestia Richardson of Winnebago, Minn.; Mrs. John Hart of Clayton, Mich.; and Mrs. Lanson Woolsey of Adrian, Mich.

Walter Laidlaw - We have referred to the serious illness of Mr. Walter Laidlaw; the disease, or rather the wearing out of his bodily organism at four-score years, culminated in his death last Saturday evening. He was an old-time resident of Geneva where he reared a large family who have become useful and honored men and women. He was a Scot by birth, and evidenced all a Scotchman's tenacity of principle, of purpose and of religion as a "dissenter." He was a faithful member and attendant upon the services of the old Associate Reformed church, so long as it had a place for and maintained public worship, and later on through life was equally constant in religious duties and in identity with another branch of the Church militant. His daily walk and conversation were consistent with his Christian professions. The community mourns him as a good man lost to earth, but realizing that its loss is his eternal gain. Deceased was buried in Glenwood last Thursday afternoon.

From Victor Herald 9 December 1893

George M. Lane died at the home of his sister, Helen M. Lane, in Farmington, on Friday last. The funeral was held on Monday; the interment was at Boughton Hill. Mr. Lane was born in Farmington about fifty-eight years ago; his boyhood was spent in that town and his early education was obtained at the old stone school house in Dist. No. 5. He was ambitious to attain to something higher than mere manual labor and by patient, unremitting industry, he succeeded in obtaining an academic education and commenced teaching school in this vicinity at a very early age. His success in this vocation led him to try his fortune in the state of Louisiana where he taught many years and attained a wide reputation as an educator in that state. After several years work in the schools he studied law and was admitted to practice, but he always strove for higher attainments and was admitted to practice in the United States Court where he soon built up a very lucrative practice. He was in the south during the war and experienced many of the trials and hardships incident to those times; although surrounded by rebels and in a measure connected with them in business and social life, he never renounced his allegiance to the stars and stripes which his father gallantly fought to defend in 1812-15. After the war his business increased and overwork brought on several severe attacks of nervous troubles which finally compelled him to give up business and return north to spend his days with his mother and devoted sister. It soon became evident that his nervous system would never recover and for several years he has been gradually failing. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. John Cline who paid a glowing tribute to the talents and attainments of the deceased and the devotion of his sister who has so patiently cared for him during the past few years.

The funeral of Mrs. Geo. A. Laning, who died on Friday last, took place on Monday morning of this week, from the residence of Prof. and Mrs. E. M. Maynard, the parents of the deceased. Though the weather was unpleasant, the house was crowded by mourners and friends. There was apparent in the large company a sense of sadness not often exhibited in such measure. Rev. Dr. Hogarth, pastor of the North church, delivered the funeral discourse; and spoke in most appreciative words of the deceased. A leading thought was that some are prepared earlier than others, for the heavenly home; and that Mrs. Laning was ready. The words of the pastor was exceeding appropriate and touching. A choir sang "I would not live alway;" Rev. Dr. Beck offered a fervent prayer; another hymn was sung, and then, after the benediction, the remains were taken to Glenwood cemetery.
