Fred Hildreth, 30 years of age, of Manchester, was almost
instantly killed Saturday night and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel G. Spendlove of
56 High street, this city, and George Maloney of Manchester were
injured when a motorcycle with sidecar attached, driven by Hildreth,
collided headon with the Spendlove car at a point in the
Manchester-Palmyra highway three miles north of Manchester. Mr. Maloney
and Fred Smith occupied the sidecar of the motorcycle which was being
driven by Hildreth at a high rate of speed according to officers
of the State Constabulary, who investigated the circumstances
surrounding the mishap. A new Durand, driven by Mr. Spendlove,
suddenly appeared at a turn in the highway and Hildreth was unable to
dodge it. The car and cycle came together with a tremendous crash, the
force of the impact hurling the motorcycle riders several feet and
turning the automobile over in a ditch alongside the road. Hildreth was
dead when he was picked up by passing motorists, while Maloney was
found to be suffering from severe cuts across the face. Mr. Spendlove
was cut about the hand and arms and Mrs. Spendlove suffered a broken
arm. Maloney was taken to the Canandaigua Hospital, while Mr. and Mrs.
Spendlove were brought to their homes in this city, where they secured
medical assistance. Smith was uninjured and walked away from the scene
of the accident. The motorcycle was completely wrecked and the
Spendlove car badly damaged. Hildreth is said to have had Mr. Smith as
his supper guest at a Manchester restaurant a short time before the
accident. Maloney was picked up a short time later and the party, with
Maloney and Smith in the sidecar, left for Palmyra at about 7:40
o'clock. The accident happened a few minutes later.
The dead man is survived by one brother in Holley and three sisters,
one in Rochester, one in Phelps and one in Clifton Springs. Mr.
Hildreth had been employed in Manchester for nearly eighteen years and
was very well-known there. He worked as an electrician for the Red
Jacket Telephone Company and the Lehigh Valley Railroad Company.
From Ontario County Journal 8 April 1881
On Friday morning last, William Hildreth died at the
Canandaigua Hotel in this village, and the news of his death was
received with deep regret by
a very large circle of friends and acquaintances throughout Western New
York. Mr. Hildreth's death was not wholly unexpected; he had been for
over a year in failing health, from one or two attacks of paralysis,
but his friends were in hope that his life would be
spared for many years; such was not case, however, and a useful
citizen and highly esteemed man has passed away. Mr. Hildreth was
born in the town of Phelps, this county, on the 4th of November, 1814,
and resided at that place for a number of years, following the
occupation of farmer and cattle dealer. He was an influential man in
public
affairs, and enjoyed the esteem and confidence of his fellow-citizens.
In the fall of 1858, Mr. Hildreth was elected sheriff of Ontario
county, which office he honorably and efficiently filled. In January,
1862, he was appointed Deputy U. S. Marshall, which position he held
until the spring of 1874, when he moved to Rochester and became joint
proprietor with his son, Samuel M., of the Brackett House in that city.
A few weeks ago he gave up possession of the hotel, and came to this
village with his wife with the intention of locating at Clifton
Springs.
Mr. Hildreth was twice married. He leaves a wife and six children, all
but one of whom have attained adult age. The funeral services were held
at the Canandaigua Hotel on Monday, Rev. Dr. Saxe, of Rochester,
officiating. They were attended by a large number of friends and
relatives from Rochester, Phelps and other places, and a great many
friends in this village were present to pay their respects to the
memory of the deceased. The remains were taken to Phelps for interment.
Among those who accompanied the remains were the Hon. William Marvin of
Skaneateles; Hon. R. P. Marvin, of Akron, O.; F. O. Chamberlain, Dr. E.
W. Simmons, O. N. Crane and
Captain Padleford of Canandaigua; Sterne Bannister, J. Sargent and

From Victor Herald 6 February 1903
George W. Hill, who has identified himself with the town of Victor
for over half a century, died at his home on West Main street in this
village on Tuesday morning at seven o'clock. Death resulted from a
shock of paralysis which came only a few hours before the spirit was
taken from earth. On Monday Mr. Hill, made the remark that he felt
unusually well and that he had hopes of regaining his health, which has
been gradually failing for two years. George Washington Hill was born
in the old homestead about three and one half miles southwest of this
village, on April 8, 1838. His early life was spent on the farm among
the associations of the community. In the spring of 1862, March 11, he
married Laura A. Woolston, and together they went to the town of
Eckford, Calhoun county, Michigan, where they lived on a farm for six
years. In 1868 Mr. and Mrs. Hill returned to New York state and
purchased a farm near Fishers where they resided until removing to this
village about nine years ago. In a public capacity, Mr. Hill has very
acceptably served as both excise commissioner, justice of the peace and
commissioner of highways. He was a man of jovial nature and genial
manner and made many friends. Owing to Mr. Hill's poor health, both he
and Mrs. Hill have traveled quite extensively with the hope of deriving
benefit from a more congenial clime. Only a short time ago they
returned from a visit in North Dakota and other western states.
The widow and one brother, William H. Hill, both of this village, are
left to mourn the loss of a loving husband and brother. At 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon the funeral services were conducted at the house.
Rev. Ira L. Coddington of Rochester officiated, assisted by Rev.
Margaret Brennan, of the Universalist church of Victor. Interment was
made at Boughton Hill cemetery.
From Ontario County Times 13 August 1873
Mr. Gregory Hill, whose death was briefly announced in this paper
last week, was, for many years, prominent among the most enterprising,
influential and highly respected citizens of the town of Victor. Mr.
Hill was a native of Vermont, having been born in that state May 1st,
1793. When about nineteen years old he decided to seek his fortune in
Western New York, and ultimately found his way to Victor, where he
arrived in the spring of 1813, with nothing but a stout heart and
willing hands to aid him. Purchasing fifty acres of land "on time" of
Oliver Chapin, he commenced work with a determination to succeed, and
with a wisely directed energy, which soon enabled him, not only to pay
for his first purchase, but to add rapidly to his possessions, until he
became, as is believed, the largest land holder in the town where he
resided -- owning at the time of his death, eight hundred acres in
Victor and three hundred near Marengo, Michigan. Eight years after
locating in Victor, he found a worthy helpmate in the person of Lovina
Lusk, whom he married in 1822, and by whom he raised a family of eight
children, six of whom survive him, including five sons, who reside in
Victor, and a daughter settled in Michigan. The deceased had been in
failing health during the last five years, and much of the time
suffered severely from the complicated disorders with which he was
afflicted, and which finally, on the 2d instant, brought his eventful
life to a close. The funeral ceremonies, which took place at the
Universalist church, in Victor, on the 3d instant, were conducted by
Rev. Mr. Boardman, and the remains were followed to their final resting
place, on Boughton Hill, by a large concourse of sorrowing friends and
relatives.

Ionia, N. Y. - Jerome Hill, a lifelong resident of Victor, died at
his home in the western part of the Town last Sunday night at eleven
o'clock. Mr. Hill was born on the old homestead known as the
Gregg Hill farm, about three miles west of this village, now owned by
his brother, William Hill, in September 1824. He was married at the age
of 21 years to Clarissa Webster, daughter of Cyrus Webster, of Mendon.
About this time he purchased and moved upon the farm, where he resided
continuously until his death. Six children were born to Mr. and Mrs.
Hill, four daughters and two sons. Of these all are living, except
Ella, wife of Sidney Pimm, Jr., who died a few years ago. Of the
living, Mrs. Emily Cummings resides in Buffalo; Mrs. Elvina French in
La Moure, North Dakota, and Mrs. Esther Sizer at the family home in
Victor. The sons, Charles and Homer, reside in this town, the latter at
Fishers. Mrs. Hill survives her husband.
In politics Mr. Hill was a Republican, but was never actively
interested in party affairs, beyond exercising his right of suffrage as
an American citizen. He never held a public office, preferring
to devote his time to the proper and timely care of his farm, which was
one of the best in the town of Victor. Mr. Hill was, however, very much
interested in the management of Boughton Hill Cemetery and as a member
and officer of the Association, did much to promote the success of the
undertaking. He also took a lively interest and pride in the schools
of his district. In his home Mr. Hill was a kind and indulgent father.
Among his friends and acquaintances he was known as a bluff and
somewhat
quick-spoken man, easily angered by what he deemed an imposition, but
quick
to forget his wrath and ready to aid the provoker thereof at the first
opportunity.
With him it was once a friend, always a friend. His death will be
sincerely
regretted throughout the community and much sympathy goes out to the
bereaved
family. The funeral services were held from the late residence of the
deceased

Seneca Castle, N. Y. - Artemas Hipolite, who has been for a
long time in a failing condition, died last Friday. His funeral was
attended on the following Sabbath by Rev. Wm. Hermans at the house. In
the death of Mr. H., we have lost one of our most genial citizens, and
one who ever felt a strong interest in the welfare of all around him.
Unobtrusive in his general deportment, he still had a deep and lively
interest in all matters pertaining to society, town, or national
politics. He leaves no family but a wife, his only child dying many
years since. His wife is very much beloved by the whole community, and
has
their warmest sympathy in this hour of her deep affliction.

married life was happy and prosperous, though uneventful except as to
mutations incident to farm life. She never had other residence
from infancy until called hence by death that in the good old town of
Seneca. She experienced a great sorrow in the loss of her husband
in March, 1884, and one by one she followed to the grave all her

From Ontario County Journal 18 May 1877
Suicide - Mr. Romanzo Hitchcock, of this village, committed
suicide by hanging, at about nine o'clock last Saturday morning. We
have no doubt, from the circumstances which have come to our knowledge,
but that Mr. Hitchcock was temporarily laboring under an aberration of
the mind at the time. He was in ordinary well-to-do
circumstances, usually following the occupation of a farmer. The
last farm he owned was a fine property near the Orphan Asylum just
north of this village. This he lately disposed of, taking a small
property in Victor as part payment. After making this trade, as
on former similar occasions, he became somewhat despondent -- "had fits
of the blues" as his friends usually said. Since the exchange of
property, he resided in the north part of this village, near the old
"malt house" which was recently partially destroyed by fire. It
was noticed that the excitement caused by that fire had quite a
depressing influence upon him.
Last Saturday morning Mr. Hitchcock went to the farm of his brother,
Orestes Hitchcock, about two miles north of the village, to help him
plant corn. The following abstract from the evidence of his
father before the Coroner's jury gives the further particulars in this
sad case:
O. M. Hitchcock, sworn, says: I reside in Canandaigua, Ontario
county; have resided here twelve years. Deceased came to my place
at 6 o'clock this morning to plant corn. I saw him first coming
up the road with a hoe in his hand. I said you come early, have
you been to breakfast? Said he had not, but had eaten some pie
and cake. I said we have been to breakfast but there was enough
for him. He came in and eat breakfast and I went to the field.
I did not see deceased again till he was found dead.
Charles Dodge came running and said there was a man hanging in
the horse barn; he thought it was Romanzo, but he did have any
moustache. He said he thought he had one; I said he had not.
I came down; his wife was on the stoop; I called her to the barn.
My father was near and he went up with me, and we found him
hanging there. I waited a few minutes not knowing what to do; we
then took
him down. His head was a little at one side. The rope
was drawing from one side; the rope was slip-noosed around his
neck. The other end of the rope was fastened to a rafter.
His feet were on the floor when I found him. I did not notice
anything peculiar about him. For the last two weeks he has been
subject to some peculiarities. He said in changing places he was
very lonesome; has been so at other times when changing places.
Said
nothing to me which made me suspicious he would harm himself. Had
met with no losses; had been subject to the blues as we called it;
never
heard him threaten to take his own life.
