It appears that he had been at Shortsville, carousing with a party of friends, and late in the evening while under the influence of liquor started to go home in a buggy alone, and after driving a short distance, it is thought he attempted to turn around and go back to Shortsville, and in so doing the horse, man and buggy were precipitated down a steep declivity.

WAS IT SUICIDE? -- Death of Charles Yeomans Yesterday Morning - A DOSE OF MORPHINE

Charles Yeomans, familiarly known as "old Charley," a jovial, good-natured, and at the same time a dissipated tailor of a sarcastic turn of mind, aged 74 years, died at his room, over Mr. P. O'Riely's store, on Exchange street, yesterday morning at 11 o'clock. The deceased went to the Watkins to the regatta last week and then and afterwards drank to considerable excess. He purchased some morphine during the latter part of the week. He complained on Saturday and Sunday of his inability to sleep, and asked several persons how much morphine a man ought to take to induce sleep. Sunday night, or late Sunday afternoon, he went from his room into the street and was seen carrying a small tin-pail of water. The next morning his step-son, _____ Bushman, who has been employed with his step-father as a tailor, went up stairs to begin work for the day. He saw Yeomans in bed and thought he was drunk. He decided not to go to work until the old gentleman got better, and went down stairs. He told some one that the old man was not fit to work and that he, Bushman, was going to Rochester. He went to Rochester at noon. One or two persons went up stairs during the day, and towards evening it was found that Yeomans was dangerously ill, and Edward O'Riely found a paper containing morphine on the bench. Dr. Budd was called, who found Yeomans in a stupor and all of the symptoms indicated that the man was beyond help. The doctor decided that the patient was suffering from the effects of poison, and that the poison had been absorbed into the system. There was no help for him, the doctor stated. Remedies were used all night and the next day in case there might be any hope of recovery. The old man passed away quietly and easily, breathing his last at 10:45 yesterday morning. Yeomans is an Englishman by birth and is said to have relatives near London, England, who are well-to-do in this world's goods. But Yeomans never corresponded with them and said that he should have nothing to do with them. He married a woman residing in Ohio, about twenty-five years ago, but they were unable to live together and Yeomans obtained a divorce. After that he married Mrs. Bushman of this place, but she was unable to live with him and they separated. "Charlie" was well-known among the boys and business men as a jolly old fellow, full of jokes and stories, but very untidy, to say the least, in his habits. He always made very sarcastic remarks about those who committed, or tried to commit suicide; he had scouted the idea of inflicting injury upon, or of killing himself.

From Naples Record 8 May 1895

Mrs. Mary Yocum died at the residence of her son-in-law, E. E. Baker, at Seneca Castle, April 25, 1895. Her maiden name was Mary McGregory. She was born December 25, 1832, in the town of Phelps, consequently was 62 years and 4 months if age at the time of her death. She was first married to Mr. Randall Haskins, who died in a few years leaving her with one little daughter, Emma. Twenty years ago she was married to Mr. Swan Yocum, who with his two daughters mourn the loss of a kind companion, a wise counselor and mother, tenderly beloved, as their watchful, anxious care testified. Her home for many years was in Naples, N. Y., where she had many friends. About seven years since, the family removed to Canandaigua, where they still reside. In January she came to visit her daughter, but in a few days was taken seriously ill, and for more than three months was confined to the house and much of the time to her bed. Her disease was of such a character that often she suffered extreme agony, then would quietly and consciously express a wish, till every detail had been planned as calmly as though to start on any earthly journey. It was a privilege she prized to be near the pastor of the Presbyterian church of this place, with which she first united about forty years ago, and to enjoy the sympathy and prayers so often offered, and which seemed to uplift her like a benediction. Her faith was of that fibre that overcomes the world, and though life was sweet and friends dear, she longed for the release, and when it came she quietly fell asleep. About one week before her death, she was desirous of partaking of the Lord's supper; the sacrament was administered and she enjoyed the solemn scene very much. She has gone before, and her daughter, Mrs. Baker, has the sympathy of many in this place, who know by experience what it is to lose a mother. She also leaves one grandson and two sisters, Mrs. Sarah Childs, of this place, and Mrs. Elizabeth McCrady of Prattsburg. Her funeral was held at the house where she died on Saturday afternoon, April 27, the Rev. H. O. Cornell officiating. Her remains were laid to rest in the Whitney cemetery.

Another Soldier Gone to the Front - Early Wednesday morning Volney York, a corporal of the 34th Sep. Co. (Co. B. 3d N. Y. Vols.) died in our City Hospital of typhoid fever. He was a grandson of our venerable fellow townsman, Mr. Peter York. When he enlisted and presented himself for physical examination, the examining surgeon pronounced him the most perfectly developed man whom he had passed into military service When he returned from Camp Mead with his company, he did not appear to have suffered any diminution of health and strength. He was taken ill about the first of this month, and his physician and relatives decided that he would get the best care and treatment at our City Hospital and he was accordingly conveyed there. But despite the intelligent and faithful care given him, the disease rapidly ran its course to a fatal termination. The deceased was only 22 years old. He will have a military funeral today.

His funeral will take place at 2 P. M. today from the M. E. Church. Interment will be at Sand Hill near Flint Creek by direction of his widow.

From Geneva Gazette 28 January 1870

ANOTHER OLD RESIDENT GONE - The painful duty devolves upon us this week of recording the death of Mr. Aaron Young, which sad event occurred on Tuesday afternoon, about 3 o'clock. Suddenly as the death-stroke fell at last, it was not wholly unlooked for by either deceased or his family. One or two previous attacks of paralysis which he had suffered and from which he but partially recovered, admonished them that he was liable to the final, fatal stroke at any time. It is however none the less saddening and bereaving to family and friends, for they mourn the loss of a kind father and an upright citizen.

Someone familiar with his life and the circumstances of his death, furnishes the following particulars for the Geneva Courier. One year ago the 24th of last December, he was stricken down with paralysis, this being his first day's sickness during his life. Since that time his strength has gradually declined, though he has never relinquished his daily walk. He entered his house at about half-past two o'clock yesterday afternoon from one of these walks, seemingly as well as usual. Very soon after his entrance he was visited with another stroke of this malady from which all efforts to relieve him proved vain, and within an hour afterwards he died.

Deceased was born at Hanover, N. J., June 20, 1790, and was at the time of his death 79 years of age. He removed with his father's family to this section of country in 1810 and settled about six miles from this village in the town of Phelps. He married his wife, who still survives him, 8th February, 1816, and immediately established himself in this place, having since that time dwelt in the house in which he died. He had six children, three sons and three daughters, all of whom are living, respected members of society. His oldest son and daughter were with him at the time of his death.

Mr. Young has lived to see his descendants to the third generation. He has often during his life-time been honored with offices of public trust, the duties of which he has ever discharged with fidelity, always enjoying in a marked degree the confidence and esteem of his neighbors. As a citizen, his death will be universally regretted, and the places he was accustomed to frequent will miss his genial face and many interesting anecdotes of the early settlement of this beautiful village. No man, we presume, has watched closer and with more pride than he its constant growth and improvement.
