Wishing everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving

I wish all of you a wonderful Thanksgiving.  Hopefully, it is with family. 
 
We can be thankful for so many things in our modern lives.  In typing up these early obituaries, I certainly am thankful for modern medicine, in particular.  These people led active lives and had fairly healthy diets from their farming efforts.  However, the end stages of their lives were often quite trying with pain and long drawn out invalidism.  I can't help but notice that many had strokes (or shocks as they seem to call them).  At least with our blood pressure and cholesterol medications, we seem to have less of those or at least postpone them. 

Having some dental issues of late, I have thought of how much people must have suffered with teeth gone
bad.  Imagine having extractions without novacaine.  Oye! 

 I'm very thankful for my family and being able to be with part of them for Thanksgiving.  Travel safe if you are traveling.

Prisoner Tells of Life in Los Banos Japanese Camp

Cooper, Hugh--- Prisoner Tells of Life in Jap Camp (No date)

For Veteran's Day, I am including this letter of what life was like as a Japanese prisoner

of war.  There is no date on the newspaper clipping of this letter, but the raid on Los Banos
interment camp took place Feb. 23, 1945.   

PRISONER TELLS OF LIFE IN JAP CAMP

Many of us saw pictures at Smalley's theatre showing the emaciated condition of the prisoners released from the Jap prison at Los Banos, near Manila, Phillipine Islands, so the following letter written by Hugh Cooper to his wife at South Gate, Cal., and sent to her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Cole in Sidney, will be interesting reading. Mr. Cooper was assistant administrator in the navy yard at Cavite and had been a prisoner of the Japs since they captured the city of Manila. The letter follows:

“Dearest Grace and family---Am free from the Japs at last. The Army sure pulled off our relief at the right time as we were about starved; 87% of our camp had beri-beri and very few could do more than the very lightest kind of work.

“I weigh 88 pounds but will soon be O. K. again on good chow. The Japs were giving us only 150 grams of rice, no meat and very little vegetables per day. We were eating snakes, rats, cats, slugs, dogs, banana roots and stems of all kinds, weeds as greens, in fact almost anything, even garbage.

“We have had no sugar for months and not even salt for the last few days. I have been eating copra cake (stock food) to cure my beri-beri and have reduced it very much. Can get my shoes on for the first time in three months.

“Have had two good meals and am feeling much better. The Army pulled off a fine piece of work to get us out from behind the Jap lines. We came across Laguna Bay in amphibian tanks.

“Received one personal package and three letters from you and have written you every chance I got. Am proud of my family, and hope to be with you soon.

“I was sent from St. Tomas with the first 600 and for six months I did sewing for the whole camp, over 800 pieces of clothing repaired by hand in six months; worked 8 to 10 hours per day. Had to get a pair of glasses from Art Fisher and have had to use them ever since for reading.

“A Navy officer is contacting Washington to see what is to be done with us. I hope we are to be sent home for six months leave.

“Burton Fonger and Betty Lou Gewalt both died in Los Banos. Mr. Foley was killed and Mrs. Foley had an arm shot off in St. Tomas when the Japs shelled the camp.

“I am sorry that most of my news is bad but we sure have been thru Hell. My next letter may be more cheerful. Lots of love to you all.

“Hugh Cooper.”

Farmhand at Edmeston Holds

Threat to Commit Suicide

Edmeston, Feb. 28----While his employer, Grace Rood, was summoning the state police, Iona Miller, 51-year-old farmhand, walked away from her into the kitchen of the Rood home on Edmeston R. D. 2 and sent a charge of shot from a 12-gauge single barrel shotgun through the jugular vein on into his head from the right side of his throat to cause instant death.

His act came on top of threats of self-destruction which he had made at various times ---threats which are believed to have been brought about by suffering with stomach trouble for several months.

Before he fired the fatal shot he notified his employer of his intention and while she was getting in touch with State Troopers E. C. Elmendorf and V. D. Hemmer, members of troop C at Sidney, stationed at Edmeston, carried out the act between 2 o'clock and 2:15 Friday afternoon.

The employer did not enter the room in which Miller met his death until the police arrived. The body was not touched until Coroner B. F. Bancroft of Garrattsville arrived and gave permission to move it to Houck's undertaking rooms.

Mr. Miller has lived in the vicinity of Edmeston and Burlington Flats all of his life. He had been employed at the Rood farm four years. Surviving him are a daughter, who is at school, Miss Rosemary Miller, and a son, Ernest Miller, of West Exeter. Funeral arrangements have not been made but it has been decided that interment will be made at Burlington Flats.

Sheffield Stone

Morris, Nov. 23---Sheffield F. Stone, 76, veteran hunter, and one of the most respected citizens of the town of Morris, died at the family home Thursday evening at 7:45 after many weeks of illness.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Dr. C. E. Vermilya, will be held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment will be in the family plot at the Brick schoolhouse cemetery.

Addendum: His date of death was Nov. 22, 1934. If there is an obituary with more information, I don't have one in the Mary Boice Gale Collection. I do have more information on him since he was my Grandfather William E. Stone's half brother.

Sheffield Fordyce Stone was born March 15, 1858 at Burlington, NY to Isaac Aylesworth and Phebe (Talbot) Stone, the oldest son of their 5 sons. He was a direct descendent of Arthur Aylsworth as well as Simon Stone. He married Arabelle R. Haynes in 1890. According to the 1900 census, they had one child, but none were living.

In 1892 they were living in Otego, NY, but moved to Morris in 1902 and lived there the rest of their lives. He was a blacksmith much of his life. On the 1925 and 1930 census, his occupation was listed as a farmer.

Severe Burns Bring About Death of Minister's Wife

Heart Unable to Stand Strain of Long Illness

of Mrs. C. E. Vermilya, Morris---

Funeral Services Saturday

Morris, Aug. 20---Mrs. Charles E. Vermilya, beloved wife of Rev. Dr. Charles E. Vermilya of the Morris Methodist church, died at 8:40 Tuesday evening at the Chase Memorial hospital in New Berlin, where she had been a patient for 23 hours. Mrs. Vermilya had been confined to bed for five and one-half months as the result of severe burns. This long inactivity made it necessary to bring dormant muscles and joints into action again, but due to a heart affliction, she was unable to stand the strain. Her condition became critical Monday night and she was taken to the hospital where she gradually failed.

Goldie Fausey Vermilya, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Fousey, was born July 22, 1871, near Gibsonburg, Ohio. She was married to Dr. Vermilya June 21, 1899, in Delaware, Ohio, where each had been attending college. For three years they were in school together in Boston, Mass. In 1902, with her husband, she took up the actual responsibilities of a pastor's wife and homemaker in Fargo, N. D. Together they had been in the service of the Methodist church in that state, California, New York city and six years ago they came to reside in Morris.

She leaves one son and two daughters, Harold Fay Vermilya of Maplewood,

N. J., Mrs. E. H. Gray, Woodland, Cal., and Miss Mildred Glenn Vermilya, employed at the Homer Folks Memorial hospital, Oneonta; her husband; and a sister, Mrs. R H. Gregory of Hollywood, Cal.

The daughter in California cannot be present for the funeral which will take place in the Methodist church here Saturday at 2 o'clock. Dr. W. Gray Jones, superintendent of the Oneonta district of the Methodist church, will be in charge of the service.

As a pastor's wife, Mrs. Vermilya desired only to be one of the women of the church and play her part without any desire to hold offices which might prevent the development of local leadership. She loved her home and was devoted to all the interests of the home. She was a good mother, a good home builder, and always interested in the promotion of the welfare of others.

Schuyler L. Woodard Dies

at Residence in Morris

Morris, Nov. 15---Schuyler L. Woodard, a retired merchant of Morris, passed away in his sleep early Thursday morning at his residence on East Main street, after a long illness.

Schuyler Legrand Woodard, youngest son of John S. and Phoebe (Olin) Woodard, was born March 27, 1861, in the town of Pittsfield, where he grew to manhood.

May 10, 1885, he married Miss Minnie Williams of Pittsfield, who survives, and who tenderly cared for him during his long invalidism. To them were born three daughters, Mrs. Clyde Sloan of Morris, Mrs. Claude Mansfield, who died April 3, 1912, and Mrs. Douglas Barry of Albany.

Mr. Woodard owned and operated a large farm in Pittsfield for a number of years after his marriage. In 1903 the family moved to Morris village, where Mr. Woodard conducted a meat market on Main street, in what is now the Meinick building. Some time later he moved across the street and added a grocery department to his store. About eight years ago failing health caused him to dispose of his stock of goods and retire from active work.

He was a genial man and the contacts which he made with the public during his years of salesmanship won him many friends.

Immediate surviving relatives are the widow and two daughters; a grandson, Adolphus Sloan of Morris; two nephews, Lynn J. Woodard of New Berlin and John A. Woodard of Edmeston; also one niece, Mrs. Arthur Hawkins of West Burlington, to all of whom much sympathy is extended.
