From Canandaigua Chronicle 31 January 1906

Saturday evening at the Memorial hospital the death occurred of Mrs. Mary A. Mack, wife of William M. Mack, of North Pearl street , death resulting from septicaemia following a slight operation. She had been brought to the hospital the day before in a very serious condition and death was not unexpected. Some time ago she, with some of the other members of her family, suffered from a very severe case of ptomaine poisoning, which it is thought was caused from eating canned salmon which had been allowed to stand in the cans, and it is supposed that her succeeding trouble resulted from this poisoning. Her death was a great shock and her many friends will mourn her early taking away. Mrs. Mack's death was the first out of a family of fourteen children. She was about 29 years of age and is survived by her husband, one little daughter, Ruth E. Mack, her mother, Mrs. Harriet Gulvin of Seneca Castle; seven sisters, Mrs. John F. Stettinius, Mrs. John H. Foltz, Mrs. Roy G. Benson, Mrs. George E. Roper, Miss Emily L. Gulvin, Miss Mildred G. Gulvin and Miss Mable A. Gulvin, all of this village; and six brothers, Thomas H. Gulvin of Flint Creek, William R., John D. and Hobart R. Gulvin, of Seneca Castle; Edward H. and Charles E. Gulvin of this village.

From Canandaigua Chronicle 7 February 1906

In the account of the death of Mrs. Mary Mack, which appeared in last week's Chronicle, it was stated that Mrs. Mack's illness was originally caused by eating canned salmon which had been allowed to stand after being opened, but we have since learned that this was an error, as Mr. Mack states that the can had not been allowed so to stand.

Dennis Mahaney, a well-known character of this village, was found dead in bed at his home, on Saltonstall street, last Sunday afternoon. Mahaney lived in the place all alone, and made his entrance and exit through a window. A whole pane of glass would be a difficult thing to find in the building, and the windows and doors had been boarded to keep out the cold. Sunday afternoon the owner of the property, John Donavan, who generously allowed Mahaney to live in the house, was looking around the premises, when he came upon the dead body of Mahaney, lying upon a crudely constructed bed and scantily covered with clothing. The coroner, Dr. O. J. Hallenbeck, being notified, appointed the following jury: M. J. McPhillips, C. D. Chisholm, Patrick Connell, Thomas Linahan, Ambrose Gartland, Will O'Brien, John Cotter, Wm. Sheehan and Frank Fanning. The jury viewed the remains and then adjourned until Monday evening. They then met at the Town House and rendered the following verdict: "The deceased came to his death from exposure and other natural causes, sometime between the 2d and 8th days of April, 1894, at his home on Saltonstall street." Since the death of his mother several years ago, Mahaney had been living alone in the house, and in the most destitute condition. He had doubtless been dead several days when found, as he had not been seen about since the Monday preceding the finding of his remains. He was about 58 years of age.

From Ontario Repository and Messenger 21 June 1876

On Thursday, June 1st, Mr. Merritt M. Mallory, a grocer and produce dealer in this village, left home to go east as far as Poughkeepsie, where he was formerly in business, to attend to some financial matters at that place. He arrived safely at his destination, paid up his obligations there, and after calling upon several friends, boarded a train and started, as was thought, directly for home. This was on Saturday, June 3d. Since that time his family and friends awaited anxiously his return, but in spite of the constant and incessant inquiry among friends and business relations to find him, no positive information was received until Saturday last, when the firm of Crouse & Co., Syracuse, who are wholesale grocery dealers, telegraphed to the family that a body answering the description of Mr. Mallory had been found in the canal near that city, on June 4th. The only reason for supposing it was Mr. Mallory's body was the general appearance, as he had been in the habit of dealing with them quite largely, and thus formed a personal acquaintance. They sent also a safe key which had been found upon the body, and which being tried was found to open the safe where Mr. M. was in the habit of keeping his books. Not only that, it corresponded exactly in number and comparison with a key left in the custody of Mr. Mallory's son. When the deceased left home he had quite a large sum of money in his possession, somewhere between three and four hundred dollars, but only a trifling amount was found upon the body, less than five dollars. There is no doubt but that he was foully dealt with, as the head presented an appearance as if struck with a heavy instrument. Mr. Mallory had but recently removed from Poughkeepsie, although an old resident, having been in the grocery business here off and on for many years. He leaves a wife, his second, a daughter and two sons, besides many relatives and friends who mourn his sad fate. His remains were brought here yesterday afternoon, and the funeral was attended from the cars.

The community was startled last Saturday afternoon by the news of the death of Patrick Malone, at his home about three and one-half miles southwest of this village. A serious illness last September revealed the fact that he was suffering from a vulvular trouble of the heart, and since that time he has been gradually failing. His death was not entirely unexpected, but the final summons came so suddenly that it found family and friends but illy prepared for its shock. Patrick Malone was born in Tellamore, Ireland March 17th, 1836. At the age of twenty he came to the United States and first located in Canandaigua, where he resided for two years. The remainder of his long and useful life was spent in Victor. In 1861 he married Mary, daughter of Michael and Catherine Carter, who survives him. Though his earlier training had been in mercantile lines, Mr. Malone chose, after coming to this country, to take up the business of farming, in which he was very successful. He was a prominent and loyal member of St. Patrick's R. C. church of this village, to the support of which he contributed liberally. Seldom, if ever, is a man more thoroughly respected by his townsmen than was Patrick Malone.

Aside from his loyal and devoted wife, he is survived by eight children: five daughters, Mrs. Nellie Mead, Mrs. Lizzie Loney, Mrs. Anna French, all of Victor; Mrs. Susie Boughton of Holcomb and Mrs. Sarah Boughton of Buffalo; and three sons, Edward T., Florance M. and Frank P., all of Victor. The funeral was held on Tuesday at 10:30 o'clock at St. Patrick's church. It was very largely attended.

Mrs. Frank Maloney of Hopewell died at her home on Sunday evening, March 22, aged 70 years. Mrs. Maloney was in Canandaigua on Saturday doing some shopping. She was to return to Chapinville on the 6:10 train in the evening, but missed it. Instead of waiting for the next train, she started to walk home. The journey proved too much of a task for a person of her advanced age. In some way she wandered into a field where she was found by a Mr. Ryan Sunday afternoon. When found she was still alive although in an exhausted condition. She was removed to her home and Dr. Donovan of Canandaigua was summoned. Everything possible was done to relieve her, but she grew gradually worse and finally died as stated. She is survived by a husband and four sons, John of Reed's Corners and Peter and Michael of Hopewell, and Stephen who resides in the West. The funeral will be held from St. Mary's church this morning, the Rev. Father Dougherty officiating.

A Sad Accident - On Tuesday afternoon there happened at the Wiborn crossing of the railroad, one of the saddest accidents which we have ever been called upon to record, by which Mr. Timothy Maloney of this town lost his life. It seems that Mr. Maloney and Michael Ryan were returning on the railroad track to their home, from their day's work, and when near the Wiborn crossing, they saw an engine and caboose coming from the west. Mr. Ryan stepped off from the track, but Mr. Maloney kept on, expecting to reach the highway before the engine would pass him. This was the fatal thought which cost him his life. Just as he was stepping from the last cross-tie, the engine struck him and threw him against the signal man's house. He received internal injuries, and only survived a short time. Mr. Maloney resided near Mr. Wiborn's. He leaves a wife to mourn his loss. He was a very exemplary man, and was well liked wherever he was known.
