Fire Destroys Filling Station, Grocery, Home

Hartwick Blaze Thought Started by Spark

From Electric Pump---Loss $2,500

Without Insurance

Hartwick, May 31---A fire that broke out at 6:20 p. m., Friday, at the Texaco filling station operated by G. A. Bresee, at the west side of the village, completely destroyed the one-story frame bungalow in which the filling station, grocery store and residence of Mr. Bresee were located.

For a time the fire, which burned fiercely for about three quarters of an hour, threatened to spread to nearby buildings, and the roof of one of them, a large hotel that is being remodeled into a garage, did catch fire. The blaze was soon extinguished, however, by the Hartwick and Cooperstown fire departments, which had been summoned to the scene as soon as the fire broke out.

It is thought that the fire was started by a spark from the electric gasoline pump. A Texaco truck was filling the tank when an explosion occurred and before any headway could be made in combatting the blaze it was beyond control. Oil and gasoline in the vicinity of the building fed the flames, which burned so rapidly that Mr. Bresee, his wife, and their 21-year-old son, Floyd, were unable to save any of the property from the house.

There was no insurance on the building or its contents, it was reported tonight, and the loss was estimated at $2,500. The Bresee family is at present staying at the hotel mentioned above, which is owned by Mr. Bresee. They have not yet announced any plans for the future.

Rev. F. G. Leonard of Universalist Church Recognized 1930

Leonard, Rev. F. G. of Universalist Church Recognized 1930

Has Served Morris Church

For 30 Years

Record of Rev. F. G. Leonard

of Universalist Church

There Recognized in

State Organ

Thirty years of consecutive service to the first Universalist church of Morris on the part of Rev. F. G. Leonard is recognized fittingly in the current issue of the “Empire State Universalist,” monthly publication of the churches of the New york state convention of that denomination

The following excerpts from that tribute necessarily considerably abbreviated, will be of interest not only to the many friends of Mr. Leonard, but as well to those interested in rural churches.

“When Dr. Thomas Guthrie looked down on a part of the most squalid, abandoned, vicious districts of Edenburgh, he exclaimed, 'A beautiful field!' He saw the dire need of Christ in those cursed lives. Dr. Guthrie, one of the first ministers of “The Church of Scotland, Free,” felt the immediacy of his call to meet the needs of these poor benighted souls. He served them gloriously.

Pastors Love their Rural Fields

“Fortunately the small towns can boast of great ministers who refused to be lured to the city. These men have regarded the village as a beautiful field in which to labor in the name of the Christ. They can so portray the advantages of their field over against the disadvantages of the large city pastorate that the great city ministers really wonders if he has made any lasting impression on the multitude whom he calls his fellow-citizens. Like Dr. Grenfell of Labrador, the useful rural minister can say, 'Don't pity me; I love my work.' Having dedicated his life to a beautiful field, he cannot be separated from it.

“The rural minister faces a small salary, a small constituency, a small congregation, a small church school in small town life.”

Minister Is Everyday Factor

“Everybody knows the minister in a small town. Everybody knows where he lives and how he lives. He is not an invisible, incomprehensible person exposed to a select group of admirers only on Sundays. He is an everyday factor, gripping the lives of his fellow townsmen and that means more than merely touching them. He knows people and they know him. When this familiarity generates increasing respect, as the years run into the twenties and thirties, you must recognize that man as an outstanding success in the ministry. He is a success because he is indispensable and cannot be replaced. He moves in the town even when his body is under the sod.”

“On May 1, 1929, Rev. Fred G. Leonard completed thirty years of service as pastor of the First Universalist church in Morris. Thirty years he has labored as a Christian friend in this town of 600 persons, and to him it has been always a beautiful field. He confesses that he has labored among some of the best people that the sun ever shone upon.

“This man began life in East Eddington, Me., on January9, 1862. His parents were Universalists in the day of theological conflicts and they knew just why they were Universalists.

Rev. Leonard in Morris Since 1899

“He was ordained to the Universalist ministry in 1893 with his first pastorate in the Universalist church of Huntingville, Quebec. He served this church for three years and then accepted the call to the Universalist church in Southold, L. I. This was also a three years' pastorate, and then came the invitation to Morris, where he began his work on May 1, 1899.

“Morris has four churches and as minsters have come and gone, Mr Leonard has remained, always ready to sponsor any worthy cause in the village. Naturally his congregations could not be large but nevertheless he has the respect and affection of every church and person. That accomplishment is real wealth for any man. For the past ten years, his salary has been $600 per year. For the previous 20 years, it was $500 per year. The church does not possess a parsonage.”

“In speaking of his work, Mr. Leonard said:

“My greatest joy has come through the assurance which I have received from saddened people that I have brought them comfort in the hours of sorrow and have with the help of God cleared away the doubts that have beset them when they have watched the operations of man or contemplated some of the mysterious workings of providence. More often we sow the seed and have to trust for the future.”

“I know no special key to rural success. Keep hard at it. Give the people the best you have. Drive home the practical, uplifting ideals of our faith. Strive constantly to enthuse to exalt.”

Ill Health Causes Woman's Suicide

Mrs. Della Getman Ends Life With Shotgun

At Farm Near Cooperstown

Cooperstown, april 3---Taking advantage of the temporary absence of members of her family, Mrs. Della Getman, 54, wife of Dorr Getman, committed suicide at about 11 o'clock yesterday morning. She shot herself through the heart with a double-barrelled shotgun. She took her life in an icehouse on their farm, which is located in the town of Springfield, seven miles from Cooperstown, and about a half-mile off the main road leading from Cooperstown to Springfield Center.

When discovered by Mrs. Ella McManus, an aunt, and Fred Armstrong, a laborer on the Getman farm, she was thought to have been dead about an hour. State Police Sergeant John L. Cunningham and Trooper Razy of the Cooperstown outpost, who were called to the scene, notified Coroner Harrie V. Frink of Richfield Springs. He pronounced death due to suicidal causes, following his investigation. It is said that Mrs. Getman had declared her intention of taking her life several times during a long period of ill health.

Mr. Getman left his farm about 9:30 o'clock Saturday morning to come to Cooperstown on business. Mrs. Getman had usually accompanied him on these trips to town, but yesterday she expressed a wish to remain home. She said she did not feel as well as usual. One of her last requests as Mr. Getman left her was that he call upon her doctor in town and procure more medicine for her.

At about 11 o'clock, Armstrong, the farm hand, who had also been absent from the house on an errand to the farm of a neighbor, returned to the house. Not finding Mrs. Getman about, he went into the apartment in the Getman house occupied by Mrs. McManus to inquire if she had seen anything of her. Both began a search, and the lifeless body of Mrs. Getman was finally located in the icehouse by Mrs. McManus.

From surrounding conditions, it seemed evident to the authorities that Mrs. Getman had gone about her suicidal plans with considerable deliberation. The gun which she had used had been hidden from her by her husband some time ago. When put away it had contained no shells, it was said, but these had been found by Mrs. Getman in their hiding place on the top pantry shelf. Two shells had been taken from the box. One had evidently been discharged in order to discover if the weapon was in working order. The empty shell was found lying on the floor near her body. The other had been shot with true aim through the heart.

Her spectacles and a bonnet, which she had evidently put on when she left the house, had been taken off and carefully placed on a beam in the icehouse near where her lifeless body had fallen. Stuck into the wall beside them was also a sharp parring knife, which the authorities believed she had intended for use in case the shots did not prove fatal.

Upon the order of Coroner Frink, the body was removed to the Cooperstown funeral parlors of Brown and Tillapaugh, where the funeral will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. The Rev. Dr. Edward C. Petrie, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Cooperstown will officiate. Interment will be made in Lakewood Cemetery.

Mrs. Getman was Della Stanton, a daughter of the late Levi and Mary Anne (VanCourt) Stanton, and was born in the town of Springfield, March 18, 1878. Her death occurred on the fifth anniversary of the death of her father. Her marriage to Mr. Getman occurred about 35 years ago. They had lived on the farm where she died for about 17 years, moving there from Christian Hill, in Harwick township.

Surviving besides the husband are two daughters, Mrs. Herbert Tyler of Cooperstown, R. D. and Mrs. Paul McManus of Deloris, Colo. There also remain one sister, Mrs. William Hoffman of East Springfield, and two brothers, Charles Stanton of East Springfield and Newton Stanton of Pierstown; as well as four granchildren.

Morris, March 21---Morris has lost in the death of Mrs. Ella Mansfield another of the lifetime residents of the village. She passed away on Friday last after a long and trying illness, very patiently borne, at her late home after a critical illness of a few days only. She was born on the East hill in a farm home in 1849, and had always been one of our number. Bishop Tuttle baptized her and she was later confirmed by Bishop Horatio Potter of the diocese of New York.

Her husband, Vernon Mansfield, to whom she was married in 1895, died several years ago.

Her nephew, Howard Coggeshall, now of Utica, and a few other nephews and nieces, are the only ones left to mourn her passing, save a large circle of friends who have long known her. She loved her church though of late able to attend but little at the services.

The funeral was held at Zion church on Sunday last at 2 o'clock, and the attendance was all that one could expect and her flowers were beautiful pieces. Her parents were Jacob and Christine Coggeshall, both of whom died many years ago.

Less posts this month so far due to health problems

My progress with this blog has been delayed this month due to some health issues.  Hopefully, I will be able to get more out shortly.   Medications to keep us going and feeling well sure are appreciated in our modern age, but when the body decides those doses aren't right and start interacting.  Well, let's just say, it sure makes a misery of your life until it gets ironed out.  We are on the right road now for which I'm very grateful.  Donna

Mrs. Leonard Place Of Morris Passes Away

Morris, Aug. 10---Mrs. Leonard Place, whose home was on the Norwich road near Morris, died Sunday morning, August 7, at 1 o'clock. For nearly 30 years Mrs. Place had suffered from mental malady which was a source of great discomfort to her and sorrow to her loved ones who

patiently ministered to her through the years. Mrs. Place was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Dilworth and was born in Morris, September 3, 1868. She was united in marriage with Leonard Place, September 3, 1886. They were married in Otego and there established their first home. Later Mr. Place took up the work of boiler making and their place of residence was several times changed. Some 25 years ago they purchased the farm on which they lived at her death.

The one son Leslie Dudlow who was born to this home, died in his early manhood, leaving a wife and three children. These children, Ina Myrtle, Ivan and Eunice, were to a large extent mothered by the deceased as best she could and they think of her as a mother. It should be said that their own mother, who is now Mrs. Summerville, has also been as a real daughter to her husband's people. She with the children and the bereft husband comprise those who bear the heavier sorrow in this separation.

The funeral was held from the house at 2 o'clock Tuesday. Rev. C. E. Vermilya, pastor of the Methodist church, with which she was affiliated was in charge, Rev. F. H. Leonard of the Universalist church assisting. The burial was in the Morris cemetery.

PS: As you will note, no where is her first name given. Perhaps it could be found on a census report. I found the term 'mental malady' interesting.
