Cheshire, N. Y. - A sad case of suicide occurred in this vicinity last Friday. A young man by the name of Warren Farnsworth, who resided near Reed's Corners, came on a visit to his father's last Thursday. Friday just before dinner, he went into the pantry and obtained a razor and went out of the house into the hop house on the place where his father resides. When dinner was ready one of the family went to call him and found him in the hop house with his throat cut and life nearly extinct. Drs. Bentley and Hutchens were summoned immediately but could render no assistance. He was said to have been a young man of exemplary character and no cause can be assigned for the rash act except the theory of temporary insanity. The remains were taken to Reed's Corners on Sunday for burial. The family have the sincere sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement.

From Canandaigua Chronicle 21 March 1906

At 8 o'clock last Wednesday evening at his home in West Gibson street, occurred the death of Charles J. Farnum, who for the past fifteen years has acted as mail carrier on the village routes and was a useful and highly honored member of the community. Mr. Farnum has been ill for a week with a bad attack of quinsy which later developed into pneumonia, which caused his death. Had he lived he would have been 61 years of age on the 24th of next April. Mr. Farnum was born in Johnstown, Vermont, April 24, 1845, and in 1862, at the age of 23, he enlisted in Company H, Ninth Vermont Volunteer Infantry, this being the first regiment organized by command of the president to aid in saving the national capitol. He remained with his regiment throughout the war and was present at the engagements at Winchester, Newport Barracks, Harper's Ferry, Chapin Farm, Fair Oaks, and numerous other battles, being also present at the fall of Richmond. Mr. Farnum performed his duties creditably during his term of service and was honorably discharged June 13, 1865. Shortly after the close of the Civil War he came to Canandaigua and in 1870 married Miss Ella Van Arsdale of Chapinville, and to them were born four children, Jennie L., now deceased; Mrs. Roy Pierce and Mrs. Lillian Farnum of this place; and James H. Farnum of Buffalo. Mr. Farnum is also survived by his mother, an aged lady, who resides in Vermont.

Mr. Farnum was formerly for many years employed as engineer at the McKechnie brewing plant and upon the establishment here fifteen years ago of the free mail delivery system, he became a carrier and performed the duties of the position faithfully and efficiently up to the time of his last illness. For several years back his health has not been of the best and he has used a horse and wagon in covering his mail route. This horse and wagon came to be as familiar a sight to the residents of the village as was Mr. Farnum himself. Mr. Farnum served for many years as a member of the fire department; also as town collector and was a member of Albert M. Murray Post, G. A. R., and of the National Protective Legion, which organizations were present at his funeral which was held from his late residence Friday afternoon at four o'clock and was very largely attended. The local mail carriers also attended as honorary pall bearers. Rev. Ward Mosher of the Methodist church conducted the services at the house and at the grave. Interment in Woodlawn cemetery.

Mrs. James Farnum, died suddenly yesterday morning at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hulse, Gorham street, aged 29 years. About two months ago, Mrs. Farnum was taken suddenly ill at her home in Buffalo, and for several days there was but slight hope of her recovery. Her ailment seemed to baffle her physician, and finally an expert was called in council. With the aid of an X-ray he discovered that she was suffering from a serious attack of ptomaine poisoning, the result of eating canned salmon. Mrs. Farnum recovered sufficiently so as to be removed to the home of her parents in this village. There she continued to improve and on Monday evening she felt well enough to visit the home of Mrs. Allen, a nearby neighbor. While there she was suddenly stricken with severe pains in her head. She was removed to her home and Dr. Warner was summoned. Everything possible was done to alleviate her sufferings, but all efforts proved futile. She lingered through the night and died early yesterday morning. The immediate cause of death was hemorrhage of the brain. The deceased was born in Canandaigua where she was educated and grew to womanhood. As a girl she was bright and genial, characteristics which made throughout her life. Her death is a peculiarly sad one. She is survived by her husband, a son, six years old, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. D. M. Hulse, and two brothers, F. G. Hulse of Canandaigua, and W. Y. Hulse of Clifton Springs. Her funeral will be held from the home of her parents tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock.

Mr. Alonzo Farr died at his home on the East White Springs road last Tuesday, aged about 70 years. He had been diseased for many years, but was confined to his house only one short week. It is sad to reflect that during the first three days of his confinement he was entirely alone, his wife having gone on a visit to relatives in Wayne county. Learning of his condition and loneliness, Mr. Geo. W. Nicholas called upon him, provided at once for his immediate necessities, and procured a nurse for him from the Church Hospital and other attendants, from which time until death ensued, he was well cared for. The deceased was the oldest son of the late Jacob Farr, who once owned and occupied the cobble-stone house and farm now the property of Capt. J. S. Lewis. He subsequently removed to Phelps where he died and was buried. Alonzo Farr leaves five children widely scattered.

Naples, N. Y. - Alonzo T. Fessenden died after a brief illness on Tuesday, aged 73. He had been out attending to his official duties as overseeing the poor only a few days before and but few knew of his illness. He was a native of Naples and had always lived here, a son of Otis Fessenden. He had been a busy man most of his life, a box and basket maker on a large scale, but for many years had been feebler and unable to do much manual labor. He had served as overseer of the poor faithfully for five years or more and had given satisfaction. He was honest, faithful and kind, a good man and for 50 years active in church work. He leaves only one daughter, Miss Elmina. A niece, Miss Conklin, was a member of the family, also her adopted son, Purl Conklin.

From Ontario County Journal 23 November 1894

Naples, N. Y. - Mrs. Caroline Fessenden died on Thursday, aged 60 years. She was the wife of A. T. Fessenden. Her maiden name was Conklin and she leaves four brothers, all residents of Yates county, one daughter, a niece adopted by her when an infant, and her husband are left grief stricken.

From Naples Record 21 November 1894

Mrs. Caroline E. Fessenden was born in Jerusalem, Yates Co., N. Y., October 18, 1834, and died at her home in Naples, Nov. 15, 1894. In 1860 she was united in marriage with Mr. Alonzo T. Fessenden, with whom she lived in the sweetest conjugal affection 34 years, to the time of her death. By this union two children were born: George Cole, who died in his third year, in 1864, and Elmina L., who remains to comfort her stricken father. She has also been a mother, indeed, to her niece left to her care in early infancy. It is seldom that a mother is found who loves a foster child equal with her own; but she did. The loss of such a mother to these dear girls is difficult to estimate; it cannot be told in words. She had a remarkably affectionate disposition and lavished a wealth of love on her family. She was a model wife; wife; a cheerful, tender and devoted companion; a brave and indefatigable helper in bearing life's burdens. Her removal is a crushing sorrow to the bereaved husband. Her home was a Christian home, and she delighted in making it pleasant and happy, and had trained her daughters in the fear and admonition of the Lord.

Mrs. Fessenden was full of the most generous impulses, and to do good was the law of her life. She possessed a warm and sympathizing nature and was unselfish in a remarkable degree. No one was ever made uncomfortable by her words. Her life, though quiet and retired, has been that of a faithful Christian wife and mother. She was of that rare type of Christian character that quietly, yet nevertheless, patiently performed its work. She was true everywhere and assuming and pretentious nowhere. We speak of these good qualities as natural endowments of her character, but unquestionable they were matured by the culture of grace. She was converted in her native town in her eighteenth year and united with the M. E. church, and has ever remained a faithful member.

Her final sickness was of short duration and without suffering. Her end came as peacefully as if gentle sleep had lulled her weary frame to rest. All that constant, loving care can do was done for her, but death claimed her at last. To her husband and loving daughter; also her brother, Charles, who was with her during her sickness. Her death shocked and almost slayed their hearts. It seemed like the sudden shutting in of a night upon a brighter day. It cannot be explained, but they must trust the wisdom and goodness of God, and wait until it shall become plain. Besides her own immediate family, four brothers are left to mourn her death. Her father, mother, sister and son have preceded her to their Heavenly home. Her funeral services were held at her residence on Main street, conducted by her pastor, Rev. L. G. Piper. Burial Fairview Cemetery, Naples.
