Allen G. Frisbie, 69 years of age, a well-known fire insurance and
real estate agent of the city, died suddenly at 4:30 o'clock this
morning at his home, No. 189 Lewis street. The cause of death was acute
heart disease and neither his family nor his physician, Dr. Herbert M.
Eddy, knew that his heart was affected until a few hours prior to his
death. Mr. Frisbie was about his accustomed duties on Wednesday and in
the evening attended the entertainment at the theater. On Thursday
morning he was taken with what was considered to be an attack of
indigestion and remained in bed during the day. Yesterday he was
apparently better, but continued to keep his bed. There was practically
no decided change until early this morning when he felt a pain in his
left side. His wife left the room for a moment and as she went out she
heard a slight noise. Upon returning she found that he was dead. Dr.
Eddy was called at once but his only service was to pronounce that his
death was caused by acute heart trouble. Mr. Frisbie was born in
Westford, Vt., on March 17, 1840. As a young man he enlisted in Company
A of the 13th Regiment of Vermont Volunteers on August 22, 1862. On
Sept. 11th of the same year he was made a corporal and in this capacity
served until the expiration of his enlistment on July 21, 1863. At the
end of his military service he returned to Vermont and later lived with
his mother at Whitecreek, N. Y.
In February, 1883, he married Julia A. Smith of Geneva, who formerly
had resided near his boyhood home. Shortly after his marriage he came
to Geneva to reside. For practically the entire time that he has
resided here, he has been engaged in the fire insurance and real estate
business. He was a member of Old Castle Lodge, No. 299, I. O. O. F.,
and Swift Post No. 94, G. A. R. During the early part of his residence
he was an active member of the First Methodist church, but of later
years he became identified with the North Presbyterian church. He is
survived by his widow, one brother, A. D. Frisbie of Cambridge, N. Y.,
and one sister, Mrs. Sarah Mattison of Fort Edward, N. Y. The funeral
will take place at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the house. Rev.
David H. Craver, pastor of the North Presbyterian church, will
officiate, and burial will be made in Glenwood Cemetery.

citizens of this place, died last Saturday forenoon, shortly after 11
o'clock, from the effects of a paralytic stroke on the day previous.

of one or two similar strokes. He had been apparently better and was on
the streets daily. About 7 o'clock on Friday morning, before his usual
time for arising, he spoke to some member of his family that one side
was paralyzed. He soon after lost the power of speech entirely and
later went into an unconscious condition from which he never rallied,
and grew worse rapidly, expiring at the time mentioned, aged 59 years.

man and a citizen. He is survived by a wife, one son, Charles, and two

Naples, N. Y. - Floyd R. Frost died at his farm home in West
Hollow, in this town, at 9 o'clock last Thursday evening, aged 79
years. There was evidently a mysterious chapter in this man's life,
which he never revealed, even to those who knew him best. He was born
in Westchester county of a refined family, was well educated and a keen
business man. For about ten years in his young manhood, he was
telegraph operator in a railroad office. Over thirty years ago he came
to Naples from
Prattsburgh, where relatives reside, and bought a secluded farm of 160
acres, four miles from the village, and had lived there entirely alone
all of three years. He had plenty of money, but preferred to live this
hermit
life. He was generous, took an active interest in improvements, a kind
and obliging neighbor and an excellent farmer. He came to town each
Saturday
as a rule to stock up for the week. During his last illness of some
months,
he had manifested no desire to be cared for, and had expressed a wish
that
he might die. He was a great reader and spent all of his resting hours
alone with his books and papers. Two sisters, Mrs. S. D. Cook, and Mrs.
Peter Parrish, of Prattsburgh, and a brother in the West survive him.

From Geneva Gazette 4 March 1887
DROWNED IN CASTLE CREEK - A most distressing accident
occurred on
Wednesday last by which a little girl less than nine years old lost her
life.
By reason of the warm weather of Tuesday and Wednesday morning which
melted
the snow and ice Castle Creek was quite high; and Little Edith
Furman
accompanied by her brother, who is a few years older, went out to the
bank
of the creek in the yard of their parents' home on Castle street to
watch
the ice go whirling past. In some manner little Edith slipped and
fell
into the creek, and before help could be obtained her body had been
carried
away out of sight. An alarm was made immediately and men
stationed themselves at the mouth of the creek to catch the body as it
went by, while the frenzied father, Fred J. Furman, waded up the shore
hoping that his daughter might have lodged somewhere along the creek,
or that she had been rescued. By reason of the quantity of
floating ice and the muddy condition of the water the body was not
discovered as it went by, but it was recovered later in the canal
basin. It was one of the saddest accidents that ever happened in
Geneva, and the sorrowing parents have the sympathy of the entire
community in their shocking bereavement. The
funeral of the little one will take place tomorrow (Saturday)
afternoon, at St. Peter's Church, at half past 2 o'clock.
From Geneva Gazette 21 March 1862
