Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1911 |
| These clippings from ancient
and fragile newspapers stored above the Troy Gazette-Register office are
being typed by Tri-County volunteers for presentation on site. Primarily
we are preserving the neighborhood news columns and the obituary, marriage
and birth information included in them. I intend also to include articles
that show the influences on the lives and attitudes of our local populations
at the time, and I will also illustrate the individual pages with ads from
the era. Nothing is more revealing of lifestyle than the goods and services
available.
The TGR covers the area of all townships surrounding Troy and many neighborhoods have a local column submitted, but not necessarily every week or even every year. Our thanks goes to the staff of the Troy Gazette-Register for giving us access to this valuable old news so that we can share it with you. There is no better way to understand the culture and customs of our old communities than by sifting through these clippings. Even the names of some of these old communities have ceased to exist in today's world, but we have them captured and preserved here. If you do not have the time to enjoy the luxury of sifting through clippings, these will be included in the Partitioned PICO Search Engine which you can reach from current What's New Page of the site. There is a partition just for the TGR Clippings. |

Found Dead in the Road at Gillett
The dead body of Samuel Mahood was found by the roadside near the residence of Fred Sawdy, a mile south of Gillett, about 5 o’clock Wednesday morning. The man’s neck and several ribs were broken and there was a bad bruise across the back.
Mahood left home Tuesday evening with a horse and road cart, saying that he was going to a neighbor’s. As he worked for the farmers of the vicinity and not infrequently remained over night, his wife was not alarmed when he did not return.
John Storch and Samuel Welch of Troy, in an automobile, came upon the cart in the road about 11 o’clock Tuesday night, two rods from where the body was found in the gutter the next morning. One of the thills was broken. The breast collar and the traces was broken. The bread collar and the traces were still attached to the cart, though one trace had been pulled loose or broken from the whiffletree. Thinking there had been only a runaway they piled the cushion, blanket and remnant of the harness into the cart and left it at the side of the road.
The appearance of the body indicated that death was instantaneous.
Justice of the Peace G. O. Turk acting as coroner, and Constable Fletcher took charge of the body and had it removed to Gilletts, where an autopsy and inquest was held by Dr. C. F. Kiersted and a jury. The latter’s finding was that death was due to injury to the back and head, cause unknown. The jury will meet again on Saturday for further inquiry into the cause of death. It is believed by some at Gillett that Mahood was run down by an automobile, a number of which, it is said, passed over the road by the side of which the body was found between 9 and 10 Tuesday night. George Wilson of Dunnings says he saw one without lights go by at a great speed.
The decedent was 48 years old and leaves a wife and daughter.
He was a brother of James Mahood of Columbia Township. The funeral will
be held in the church in Gillett at 10 o’clock Friday morning.

Milan Hewitt
Milan Hewitt was born in Smithfield, Pa., July 7, 1869, and died at his home in Sylvania in the earl hours of Wednesday morning, July 5th, after a number of weeks of severe suffering, age 42. He leaves a wife and two children, the elder of whom is a lad of nine, and the younger a little lad slightly over a year old.
Since young manhood Mr. Hewitt was identified with the life of Sylvania, but much of his work was done outside of the village. He owned a traction engine and portable saw-mill, and so worked where there was a call for his service. He was a good workman and well liked by his associates.
He was a home-keeping man, and nowhere was so happy as in his own home with his family around him. He was quiet and gentle and with strangers perhaps a little reserved, but he was genial and sunny and always had a smile and pleasant word for everybody. It did one good to see him smile.
Being absent through the week he did not share in the activities of the week as much as some, but he was always willing to do his share. He will be greatly missed from the community where he spent so many years.
The funeral was held from the home on Friday afternoon, July 7th, and was conducted by the village pastor, Rev. A. G. Cameron. There was a large attendance and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. The burial was in the family lot in the Sylvania cemetery.
(Coryland) The remains of Mrs. John Roy of Elmira, were brought here

In Memory of Mrs. Patience J. F. McClelland
Patience Jane Franklin McClelland, one of the oldest, most widely known and highly esteemed residents of this vicinity, departed this life on Friday, July 14th at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Frederick Bohlayer, aged 90 years, two months and six days. Mrs. McClelland was born in Caldwell, N. J., and was the daughter of the Rev. William and Elizabeth Dobbins Franklin. Her father was a Presbyterian minister. He removed to Smithfield, Pa., and was pastor of the church there from 1829 until his death in 1834.
She was married to John McClelland in October, 1845, and resided on a farm situated on the road from Troy to Columbia X Roads, until her husband’s demise, residing since with her daughter, Mrs. Bohlayer. To her were born four daughters, two of whom died in youth, and the surviving ones are Mrs. Bohlayer and Miss Mary Elizabeth; also seven grandchildren survive.
She was the oldest member of the Presbyterian church in Troy, and although owing to the feebleness of advanced years, being unable to attend the services, yet was her presence felt by her contribution in the form of beautiful words of faith and well selected passages of scripture which it was her pleasure to send to each roll call.
Truly her life was a remarkable one. Nearing the century mark she could look back over a long and useful life, one full of generous deeds and good works. With a fearless courage, she surmounted every difficulty and all the trials and vicissitudes incidents to a devoted christian life, and it might well be said of her :Surely a mighty one has fallen in Israel." Her genial presence and wise counsel will be missed in the home which she has long adorned, but our loss is her gain for she like Paul of old could truly say, "I have fought the good fight, I have kept the faith," and who is there can doubt but she has earned the crown and received the welcome plaudit "Well done good and faithful servant."
The funeral was conducted from her late home on Monday afternoon when a large concourse of friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect. In the absence of her pastor who is on his vacation, the services were conducted by her former pastor, the Rev. G. P. Sewall of Aurora, N. Y., who spoke impressively of her devout christian character, choosing for his text the appropriate words, "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth yea saith the spirit that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them."
The casket was covered with beautiful flowers placed in loving rememberance by hands that had ministered to her so tenderly in life. At the conclusion of the services the body was borne to the family plot in the cemetery at Columbia Cross Roads, her four grandsons acting as bearers.

Cashier Adelbert E. Backer Dead
Adelbert E. Backer, Cashier of the first National Bank and Trustee of the National Mutual Relief Association, expired from a pistol shot in the right temple at his own hands, in his room in the Hotel Rathbun in Elmira, last Friday night or Saturday morning. His accounts in both institutions were correct, and there was no reason for the act beyond that expressed in a note in a firm hand, which he left on the dresser.
Mr. Backer went to Elmira on the 9 o’clock train Friday evening with H. K. Mitchell and Dr. M. B. Ballard. They were surprised when he joined them at the depot. To their remark upon his having no hand bag, he replied that he could get along all right one night without a night shirt. They passed the evening together, chatted with acquaintances, ate a light lunch and went together to their rooms, Messrs. Ballard and Mitchell on the third floor, Mr. Backer on the second floor. He bade his friends "good night" as he stepped from the elevator. He had expressed a desire for a room alone. This was the last seen of him alive.
………….. (Deleted for lack of space and content)
Adelbert E. Backer was born in Roseville, Tioga county, 46 years ago, the son of Horace M. and Samantha Taber Backer. In his youth his parents moved to Mansfield. About 22 years ago he succeeded to his father’s grocery and crockery business. There, as here, he enjoyed the fullest measure of esteem and confidence. He was a trustee of the successful Building and Loan Association and of the Normal School. He came to Troy in 1895 as cashier of the First National Bank, then located in the court house, which later, in part through his efforts, was consolidated with the Pomeroy bank, into the first National bank of today. His cashiership continued through the years with a faithfulness and integrity, that was the pride and admiration of the ever widening circle of friends. His connection with the National Mutual Relief Association dated from the inception when like insurance associations were springing up all over the country. As elsewhere, he was faithful to every trust in the administration of its affairs. He did not foresee the death blow which later came to the five-year companies everywhere, but still faithful to his trust, he was doing the best he could for the policy-holders when he went down under the strain of unjust criticism, brokenhearted but not dishonored.
…………
He was a member, also of the Boro Council, of the Vestry of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and of the Library Committee, and Treasurer of the Boro Water Fund and of the Church.
The surviving members of his immediate family are his wife, Anna Kendal Backer, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Kendall, on one daughter, Sally, aged 10. He was nephew of Capt. Elmer R. Backer, the founder of the Merchants’ National Bank of Elmira. An only brother of the decedent was burned to death in childhood.
