Canandaigua, N. Y. - The many friends and acquaintances of Aleck Niblock, one of Canandaigua's well-known citizens, who had resided here nearly all his life, were greatly shocked yesterday to learn of his sudden death while engaged with fellow workmen in installing a new heating plant at the County Jail. Mr. Niblock had been ill the past two weeks with grip. Yesterday he went to work for the first time at the jail, where about noon he was suddenly attacked with heart trouble, and fell back into the arms of A. A. Sterling. He was immediately removed to the apartments of Sheriff Van Voorhees and his son, John Niblock, a clerk at the postoffice, was summoned. The father died as the son entered the room. He had previously suffered slight attacks of heart trouble, and his physician, Dr. E. P. Warner, states that he went out too soon after his illness.

Mr. Nicholas, with his wife and daughter, were for many years residents of the town of Bristol, at first working S. H. Wheeler's farm and later acting as agent for the McCormick machinery. He was a member of the old E. K. O. R. organization and for a long time was its president. For years he was treasurer of the Universalist church society and a regular attendant at the church and it was with regret that his neighbors saw him move to Holcomb some years ago. While there he was a successful business man. His wife, Phoebe Wheaton Nicholas, died some two years ago and he leaves a daughter, Mrs. L. L. Pierce, of Ionia, and one granddaughter. Burial was beside his wife in the Evergreen cemetery. The daughter has the sincerest sympathy of her many Bristol friends.

OBITUARY. Died, in Geneva, NY on the 31st December last, John Nicholas, Esq. in the 57th year of his age.

Mr. N. was born, in 1764, in the State of Virginia, where he received his education, and resided till 1803, when he removed to the village of Geneva. He was educated for the law, and in the early part of his life devoted himself to the practice of it. Having, however, a strong predilection for agricultural pursuits, he relinquished the legal profession after a few years practice in it, and turned his attention, principally, for the rest of his life, to these pursuits. During the most critical period of our country's history, he was honoured with three successive elections to the national legislature from his native state. Shortly after his removal to the state of New-York, he was elected a member of its senate, and, about the same time, was appointed first judge of the county.

The cause of his death was a dropsical affection, which had for several years been gradually undermining his constitution. [ [page 289]

Mrs. Susanna Norrish, widow of Benjamin Norrish, died at the family residence in South Main street at 4:20 o'clock yesterday morning, aged 95 years. Mrs. Norrish was the oldest woman resident of Geneva. Had she lived until this week Saturday, she would have been 96 years old. The deceased was confined to her bed only two days.

The deceased was in full possession of all her faculties up to the hour of her death. She had a keen memory for the early historical events of England, and could talk intelligently of events from the time she was 10 years of age.

From Ontario County Journal 23 December 1910

There passed away on Tuesday the last of the four nonagenarians whose friendship and interest in one another have been one of the charming incidents in the village life in the latter years. Mr. Howey, Mr. Billings, Mr. Spears and Mr. North had looked after one another for a number of years in most fatherly fashion. Mr. Howey broke the circle first; he was followed by Mr. Billings and Mr. Spears.

Sometime during Tuesday night, Robinson D. North joined them again. His departure was congruous with all his life. Quietly and without alarm he went to enter upon the joys and services of the other world. He lay down to sleep and awoke in the morning in the Father's House. He was a man of remarkable vitality. Until quite recently he could be seem riding horseback his much beloved "Bessie", carrying his 92 years with erect and buoyant grace. Robinson D. North was born in Goshen, Conn., on Aug. 14, 1818. Coming with his father and others from New England, while still a boy, he had had spent his life in this locality. He was known all over this part of the country and was universally respected and loved. He brought with him from New England a Puritan conscience and a Puritan reverence for the sanctities of life. Exacting toward himself, his unique spirit of humility and guilelessness tempered his judgments of others with a considerateness and patience that made it possible for him to live without enemies.

His wife, Ora Chatfield, died Nov. 6, 1893 (?), and he leaves two daughters, Mrs. Lottie E. Vandenbergh of Detroit, Mich., and Mrs. Lydia M. Willys of Canandaigua. After leaving his farm in East Bloomfield in 1870, he resided for some time on Chapin street. For the last 14 years he had made his home with Mrs. Willys. Mr. North was of a strong religious nature. He was converted at 16, joined the church and had been a faithful member ever since. With absolutely unbroken regularity, he attended church Sunday mornings and was in his place last Sunday as usual. Until about a year ago, he was equally regular in attendance upon the Sunday evening and Wednesday evening services. He was an elder in the Presbyterian church, and in this office, as in all other things, he was devoted and faithful. To all who knew him at all intimately, he was "Grandpa North." It was in his grandchildren and great-grandchildren that he found his chiefest interest in these last years. To his grandson, John N. Willys, president of the Overland Automobile Company, he had been of great help in the early stages of his success, and watched his wonderful progress and achievement with great pride. He will be remembered for his unselfish eagerness to be helpful, and his unwillingness to be the cause of trouble or anxiety. He bore the many weaknesses and pains of his 92 years not only uncomplainingly, but with such cheerfulness that few knew at what cost he was saving his smiles for his friends. He loved his friends and loved to make friends. And what is much more difficult, he knew how to keep them. He will be remembered for his faith in and devotion to his God. His was a life of prayer.
