as cadet to West Point Military Academy where he remained six months and
resigned. He then took up the study of law in the office of Sherwood and
Owlett of Wellsboro and was admitted to the bar. He located at Westfield
for the practice of his profession and for twenty-three years had been
a successful lawyer. The funeral services were held in St. John's church
Sunday morning at eight o'clock, Rev. Arthur Watson, A.B., officiating.
The remains were laid to rest in the Lawrenceville cemetery. Mr. Baldwin
is survived by three sisters, Dr. Kate Baldwin of Philadelphia; Dr. Mary
Baldwin of Newport, RI and Miss Lucy Baldwin of Lawrenceville and two brothers,
Dr. L.Grant Baldwin of New York City and Moses Baldwin of Lawrenceville,

COLEGROVE Henry B
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA-- Wednesday, December 19, 1906
Mr. Henry B. Colegrove, aged 74, a highly esteemed resident of Lawrence
township, died suddenly about 2 a.m. on Friday at his home at Tompkins,
about 3 miles from Lawrenceville. He was for many years engaged in the
lumber business and served 2 terms as County Commissioner, from January
1st, 1897 to January 1st, 1903. He was a man of the strictest integrity
and enjoyed the respent and esteem of all who knew him. Mr. Colegrove
was
born at Troupsburg, NY, April 25, 1832. When he was 2 years old,
his parents removed to Cortland County, NY and five years later they settled
in Lawrence township, where Mr. Colegrove had since resided. He commenced
lumbering in the early days and ran log rafts down the Cowanesque River
to Painted Post, NY for many years. He served with great credit during
the Civil War in a New York state regiment and was present at the surrender
of Lee at Appomattox. Soon after the war he formed a partnership with Mr.
C S Mather in the lumber business, the firm of Mather & Colegrove being
for many years a prominent one in this region. Mr. Colegrove was one of
the leading citizens of Lawrence township and always took an active interest
in public affairs. He held many township offices and was always public
spirited and progressive. He was twice married; his second wife, one son,
Delos of Tompkins, and one daughter, Mrs. Charles Stage of Lawrenceville
survive him. Funeral services were held on Monday and were largely
attended. Phil Holland Post, of Lawrenceville, conducted the services at
the grave and Rev. Henry Goodrich of Nelson preached the funeral sermon.
Many Wellsboro people attended the funeral.
COLEGROVE Sarah L
LAWRENCEVILLE, March 27,1880 - Last Tuesday the people of Lawrenceville
were thrown into great excitement by a double tragedy. Mr. Sidney Green,
a man 28 years of age, living two miles west of this village on the river
road leading to Nelson, on the south side of the river, shot and killed
his wife, Sarah, woman 23 years of age and daughter of Mr. H. B. Colgrove.
The crime was committed about 5 o'clock in the afternoon at the house of
Mr. John Nelson, who lives at the foot of Slawson hill and near the residence
of Mr. Colgrove, the father of the murdered woman. Soon after killing his
wife Green put an end to his own life by shooting himself in the head.
It appears as near as I can learn that Mrs. Green ran away from home six
years ago to marry Green, being helped from her father's house by one Emery
Colgrove, her cousin. She lived with her husband only two or three weeks,
when for some cause she left him and went West with this cousin Emery.
It is said she returned here four years ago and met Mr. Green once or twice
during that visit, but returned to her Western home in a short time.
She came home again to her father's on the 9th instant, and Mr. Green had
an interview with her last Tuesday at Mr. Nelson's house, when he shot
her through the breast. She turned and ran into the road and fell
down and Green followed her and shot her twice through the head one ball
striking her at the left side of the nose about an inch below the eye,
and the other a little to the right of the first, at the base of the nose.
Either of these wounds would have produced death, and from the effects
of all three of them, Mrs. Green died almost instantly. Green fled
from the scene of his crime in the direction of Lawrenceville, and when
about 25 rods from his victim he was met by her father, Mr. Colgrove, and
Mr. William Davis. He then deliberately placed the revolver he had used
to shoot his wife at his own temple and sent a bullet through his
brain. The shot passed in the right temple and lodged in the brain, causing
death within an hour. Mrs. Green's body was removed to her father's
house and that of Green was taken to the residence of Mr. Harris, in this
village. A Coroner's jury was called and inquest was held, the verdicts
being that Mrs. Sarah Green came to her death by a pistol shot fired by
Mr. Sidney Green, and that Mr. Sidney Green met his death from a pistol
shot discharged by his own hand. Mrs. Green leaves two children.
Mr. Emery Colgrove was summoned by telegraph to attend the funeral of Mrs.
Green, which takes place today at eleven o'clock a.m.

regretted by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. He was a man
of fine character and a lovable disposition and of the kind of men that
help make the name of a community. In Lawrenceville and Elmira his death
will be sincerely mourned. He was buried by the side of his wife in the
village cemetery at Lawrenceville on Saturday. He is survived by two sons,
