Sweet, Dr. Ira S. 1849-1932 Well Know Bone-Setter


Sweet, Dr. Ira Smith 1849-1932 Utica Obituary

Dr. Ira Smith Sweet Dies at Home in Utica

Widely Known Bone-Setter Succumbs
After Long Illness—Had Visited Otsego County
For Past 40 Years

Dr. Ira Smith Sweet, humanitarian and bone-setter, widely known throughout this section, and a frequent visitor to Oneonta, died at his home in Utica yesterday morning about 2:30. He had been ill for nearly a year, having discontinued his monthly visits to this city in August when his daughter, Dr. Florence Sweet Schafer of Utica, took over the work.
Born March 14, 1849, in Amsterdam, Dr. Sweet learned the bone-setting profession from his father, practicing in his youth on injured animals until he attained a remarkable proficiency. It is interesting to note that the family profession is being carried on by two of his three daughters and his son.
A bone-setter since early youth, Dr. Sweet was well known in Otsego county, having once lived on a farm in Edmeston. His monthly visits to this county had been continued for over 40 years, and hundreds had acclaimed him for his skill in this profession, fast becoming rare. His many friends in Oneonta and throughout this section of the state will sincerely mourn his passing.
The funeral services will be held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from his late home in Utica. Rev. Oliver U. Chapman, pastor of the Tabernacle Baptist church of Utica, will officiate at the obsequies. Interment will take place in the cemetery at Brookfield, about 30 miles from Utica.
Dr. Sweet leaves three daughters, Dr. Schafer and Mrs. Herve Fiske, an artist, of Utica, Mrs. Fred Camenga of New Berlin, also a bone-setter, and Dr. Samuel Sweet of Utica, a son. Following in his father's footsteps, Dr. Sweet taught the intricacies of his profession to those of his children who were inclined to follow his bent.

Mansfield, Ella L. 1849-1932 Morris Obituary

Mrs. Ella L. Mansfield
Dies Friday in Morris

Funeral Last Sunday With Good Attendance
The Rector, Rev. E. E. Hutchinson, Officated

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.
