The many friends of Worden BABCOCK, proprietor of the Hart House, were grieved to learn of his death, which occurred about six o’olock Monday morning. Deceased had been ill for the past four months with liver and stomach trouble, which baffled the skill of medical science, and was the direct cause of his untimely demise.
Mr. BABCOCK was nearly sixty- two years of age, having been born July 22d, 1840, in Venice, Cayuga Co., N.Y. He removed to Michigan early in life, and at the beginning of the Civil War enlisted with the sixty-eight Indiana Infantry, with which he endured much active service for three years, in consequence of which his health was impaired, and he was transferred to the Veterans Reserve Corps, serving the remainder of the war at Fort Porter and at Lockport.
Mr. BABCOCK was married to Emma L. CARPENTER, of Mendon, N. Y. and was for a number of years engaged in the general merchandise business in that place and at Honeoye Falls, N. Y., afterwards removing to Missouri where he purchased a large cattle ranch. In February, 1892, Mr. BABCOCK came to Medina and purchased the Hart House, which, in company with his son, he has since successfully conducted. He was a man of good, sound judgment, and was highly esteemed by a host of friends. He was a member of Medina Lodge F. and A. M. and of the G. A. R.
Besides his widow, deceased is survived by one son - Frederick C. BABCOCK - and two sisters - Mrs. J. D. LOVEJOY, of Mendon, and Mrs. Clara DAVOFDSON, of Rochester - who have the sympathy of a large circle of friends in their sad bereavement. The funeral services were held at the house yesterday morning at 10:30 o’clock, Rev. C. Turner, officiating.

At the age of 18, James became employed with Harvey GOODRICH and later was associated with Charles BAKER in the produce business for 15 years. During this time, he developed a fine farm west of Albion which was later owned by J.H. DENIO.

This father-son conbination also ran a large fruit house located on the railroad near the freight depot. He was the first to build such a facility here, which had a capacity of 8,000 barrels.
BAILEY took great interest in the Orleans County Agricultural Society and did a great deal to advance its efforts, serving one time as president. He was also the first to develope anything at Oak Orchard on the Lake, which resulted eventually in a beautiful summer resort. In politics, he was a Democrat and served in several village offices.
BAILEY was seen as a public spirited man with generous inpulses. He was identified with the Masons and other fraternal ordanizations as well as the First Baptist Church. He was married in 1857 to Mary Jane CADY, by whom there were two children, Herbert J. and Frank H.

Soon after their marriage they came to this place and located on the farm now owned by John Sh--wood, north of Shelby Basin. After two or three years he sold that and purchased the one now owned by James Cullen on the same street. In 1841 he exchanged that farm for one on the Bates road, owned by his father-in-law, Jude COMSTOCK, where he continued to reside until his death July 29th, 1897, at the advanced age of ninety-three years and twenty-seven days.
He leaves to mourn his loss, besides a large circle of friends, who respected him for his uprightness of character and honorable dealings, four children - Jude II, of Janesville, Wis.; Mrs. T. A. BACON, Mrs. J. E. ALLIS and William J. BALCH, of this place.

Lyndonville - Death came instantly to a Lyndonville couple early Sunday morning when their auto swerved, left the road, leaped and skidded 140 feet and finally caught fire at a point on Roosevelt Highway (Route 18), a few miles west of here and near the settlement of County Line. Mr. and Mrs. Howard L. BANE, 42 and 39, respectively, were victims of the tragedy and they leave a family of eight children, who are today living with their grandmother, Mrs. Clara BANE, at the home of Keith N. BANE, Petrie Rd.
The two victims were returning via Roosevelt Highway to their home on Lower Lake Rd. north of County Line after an evening of shopping in Lyndonville and they were carrying two five-gallon drums of kerosene in the back of the auto, one of which burst into flames, adding to the blaze of the auto.
Funeral services have been scheduled for tomorrow at 2 p.m. from the Smythe Funeral Home, N. Main St., with the Rev. Raymond Draffin of First Methodist Church officiating and burial in Lynhaven Cemetery.
Following an autopsy ordered by State Police investigators and performed by Pathologist Dr. Joseph Tannenberg of Batavia, a certificate of accidental death has been issued. Dr. David Fraser, Orleans County coroner, who issued the certificate today, listed the cause of death as “unavoidable due to mechanical impact.” He reported that the severe burns and death were instantaneous. No witnesses were found who could give State Police an exact accounting of the tragedy. Mr. and Mrs. George Grant, farm workers and occupants of a tenant house on the Bertrand Todkill farm, heard and felt the impact when the car grazed a side of their house before coming to rest against a tree. They told police, “We ran out of the front door and the car was already burning when we got there.”
Firemen from Lyndonville were called, arriving shortly before 1 a. m., according to Chief Watson Plummer. The blaze had subsided by that time and investigators determined that the two were pinned in the wreckage and would have been unable to get free of the car, if they had been conscious after the crash.
The BANES had come here to shop sometime after 8 p. m. according to their oldest daughter, Clara, 15, who was left to take care of the youngsters at home. An older brother, John, 19, was at his job in the Lockport City Hospital when the parents left.
Cause Unknown
No exact explanation of the cause of the accident has been
determined by State Police. Tire marks in the highway indicated that
the car started to swerve and skid on the pavement, then left the right
side of the road.
The skidding auto traveled 100 feet before it struck a stone
abutment, and then, according to Trooper Arthur Haines, it apparently
left the ground, turned over and hit the tree. The total distance was
estimated at about 140 feet.
The car was completely demolished and its contents of groceries
scattered about the area. Mr. Grant, occupant of the tenant house near
the scene, went immediately to the home of Thomas Manning, who manages
the Todkill farm, to call assistance.
The dead man was employed by the Upson Company in Lockport, where he had worked for nine years. Prior to that time he had lived for several years on Eagle St. in Medina, while working at Niagara Chemical Div. in Middleport. The couple moved to Lower Lake Road about three years ago.
Besides John and Clara, other children of the victims are Howard, 13, Arnold, 11, Loretta, 7, Robert, 5, Herbert, 3, and Shirley, 2. BANE also leaves his mother, Mrs. Clara BANE of Marshall Rd., Lyndonville RD; four brothers, Leo of Rochester, Keith, Irving and Earl, all of Lyndonville RD; and a sister, Mrs. Myrtle HILL of Rochester. She leaves her mother, Mrs. Catherine TANNER of Marshall Rd.; her father, Alonzo TANNER of Lockport; a brother, Harold of Maryland; and two sisters, Mrs. Edna HUNDSHAMER of Lockport and Mrs. Margaret BURNDT of Rapids.

A. D. BANNISTER, one of the best known farmers in the town of Barre, died Saturday evening as a result of an accident that occurred while he was driving home from Albion with a load of tile on a lumber wagon. When near Bragg’s Corners on the new Barre state road, one of the tugs of the harness became unfastened allowing the whiffletree to drop down against one of the horses, on a slight down grade.

When the team jumped, Mr. BANNISTER, who was 68 years of age, was thrown to the cement highway, where he struck on his head. His skull was fractured at the base and he was made unconscious.
Dr. L. G. Ogden, of Barre Center, was summoned and the injured man was taken to his home, one-half mile south of West Barre village. He died at 7:30 o’clock without recovering consciousness.

William BARHITE, 67, former member of the Village Board, twice Supervisor of the Town of Ridgeway, and well-known in this area as a construction contractor, died suddenly at 6:30 p.m. last night at his home, 208 Prospect Ave. He had celebrated his 67th birthday Monday.
BARHITE's death came suddenly last night as the result of a heart ailment from which he had suffered an attack a few weeks ago. He had recovered from this setback sufficiently to return to active conduct of his business affairs.
Born and raised in Medina, he attended local schools and became widely-known throughout Orleans County during his lifetime. He held memberships in the Elks and Moose Lodges here and was for many years a member of Medina Lodge 336, F. & A.M.
Beginning his experience in the construction business with A. L. SWETT, he aided in building the Waterport Dam, was later employed in construction work for the state and, in 1922, entered into a partnership with Charles INGERSOLL, Sr., as a contractor.
The firm of INGERSOLL & BARHITE was known for road construction in and around Medina, Hornell, Binghamton, Bergen, Hi1ton, Churchville, at Letchworth Park and other points in this state. The two continued in partnership until INGERSOLL's death and BARHITE purchased the entire business around 1932. In public offices he served during the years 1914-17 as a member of the Village Board. He served as Supervisor of the Town of Ridgeway during the 1934-35 term and again for two terms between 1942-45.
Surviving relatives include two sisters, Mrs. Mabel WHITE, Albion, and Mrs. Dele WALDNER, Detroit; a brother, Mayor Tunis BARHITE of Medina, and several nieces and nephews. Services are to be held from the O'REILLY Funeral Home, East Center St., Sunday at 2:30 p. m. with the Rev. John E. WLIKINSON officiating. Burial will be in Boxwood Cemetery.

Almira FLOOD BARRETT Died, at her home in Ridgeway on 2/19/1899. Mrs. Almira Flood Barrett, widow of Luther BARRETT, aged 92 yrs.
Mrs. BARRETT was born in Londonderry, Vt. 1/2/1802 (1806). In 1833 her parents moved to Erie County in this state. Two yrs. later she married Luther BARRETT and came to Ridgeway where the young couple built the house which the wife was spared to occupy and enjoy for 64 yrs. It was always a happy, restful home where friends and acquaintances delighted to gather and was to the children a sacred realm where loving kindness, gentleness and tact were the inspiration to all that was beautiful and true in life.
In the 25 yrs. of her widowhood Mrs. BARRETT was not left alone. One daughter stayed by her side to minister lovingly and faithfully to her needs and smooth her pathway onward, until she was summoned to meet the husband from whom she had so long been separated in that other land "across the river". Her "four score and twelve years" brought no shadow upon her mind, no gradual failing of her intellect. Always keen and observant, she was greatly interested in the current events or the world's daily history as told in the various periodicals upon her table.
With her death the last of the early settlers on the Ridge road has passed away. She has four children to "rise up and call her blessed", all of whom are living- Sylvester, the only son, Miss Dora BARRETT and Mrs. H.J. TANNER all of Ridgeway and Mrs. A.S. WELD of North Dakota. The services were held at the home, Rev. W.B. Howell officiating. He paid a feeling and eloquent tribute to her long useful and beautiful life as wife, mother and friend.

On the morning of the 23d inst., our community was shocked by the sudden and unexpected death of one of our prominent business men, Mr. Daniel BARRETT, of the firm of Kearney, Barrett & Co., extensive dealers in quarry stone at this place. A few weeks since Mr. BARRETT had taken a business trip to Chicago and intermediate points for the purpose of closing up the years’ business of his firm with western customers. On his return, and just before reaching home, he had a severe attack of lumbago, which continued in an aggravated form for some days after his return. His sufferings from this attack were excruciating, and as a result he was much reduced and enfeebled when his physician finally obtained control of the disease. He had, however, so far recovered on Monday, the 19th inst., as to be upon the street and transact some business, but immediately succeeding this, and on Tuesday morning, he was attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs. On Thursday Dr. E. M. Moore, of Rochester, was called in consultation with Dr. Chapman, the attending physician, and after an examination of the case found no apparent reason why Mr. BARRETT would not recover. On Thursday evening Mr. BARRETT spent the time in lively and cheerful conversation with his friends and in making calculations respecting his business future, but later, and about four o’clock A. M. of Friday, he was attacked with a hemorhage which proved fatal in the short space of five minutes. And thus are we again reminded that “in the midst of life we are in death."
Mr. BARRETT was about forty years of age. About seven years since he was united in marriage to Miss Anna E. KEARNEY, a daughter of the late James KEARNEY, of this place, who, together with two children, survive him. Previous to June 1878, Mr. BARRETT had been engaged in merchantile pursuits at Niagara Falls, where he had sustained an honorable and useful position for some years. At the last mentioned date Mr. BARRETT, having become interested in the Kearney quarry, became a resident of our village, and since which his in-comings and out-goings have been familiar to our people. It is not too much to say that by his thorough business training, his attention to business, his affability and his punctilious regard for all the details of a large business, and for everything which might affect the business standing of his firm, stamped him as an honest, careful and sagacious business man, and attached to him as friends all with whom he came in contact. His death is a public loss and deeply regretted by our people, not only on the score of friendship, but as affecting our business interests.
Mr. BARRETT was one of the original founders of the "Catholic Mutual Benefit Association," had served as Grand President of this State, and upon the completion of the National Organization, was made "Supreme President" of the United States and Canada, which position he held at the time of his decease. His funeral was held at St. Mary’s Church, in this place, on Monday, the 26th, Rev. W. J. McNab, assisted by Revs. Cannon, 1 Darey, Daly and Lanigan, officiating. Delegations from branches of the association of which he was the founder and head, were present from Buffalo, Niagara Falls, Lockport, Albion, Detroit, Spencerport, Seneca Falls, Windsor and Toronto, Can., and Titusville, Pa., and the church was crowded with these and the citizens of our village. Verily, "a good man has fallen,” but “his works do follow him.”

Benjamin J. BARRY
The editor of the TRIBUNE is called upon this week to perform a sad duty in
recording the death of an old and highly esteemed friend and one of our most
faithful and popular contributors. For nearly twenty-four years, with the
exception of one week, the TRIBUNE has not been issued, without the
appearance of a Lyndonville letter from "B" and we know that none of our
valuable corps of correspondents will be so greatly missed by our readers as
the one who has been so faithful to their interests, and who is now at rest
in the sleep which knows no awakening here on earth.
Benjamin B. BARRY, whose death occurred at his home in Lyndonville, on the evening of December 24th, after two weeks illness with heart failure, was born in the town of Yates in November 1828. He was the son of the late James BARRY, one of the pioneers of that town, who was the father of nine children, six of whom survive; also the aged mother, Mrs. Martha BARRY, in her 89th year, who resides with her daughter, Louise, at Knowlesville. Mr. BARRY's first wife was Louise CADY, who died in 1859. He afterward married Maryette AYER, who lives to mourn the decease of a kind, patient, sympathetic and indulgent husband. There are also six surviving children- five sons and one daughter- and the entire family, have the sympathy of a wide circle of friends in their sad bereavement.
Mr. BARRY had been a farmer until a few years since, and had held various offices of trust and responsibility. He was some years ago elected Justice of Sessions on the Republican ticket, and was for many years Justice of the Peace. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and having a fair musical talent was for fifty years chorister of the Lyndonville Church. Of the deceased it may be truly said he was conscientious and faithful in the performance of every duty, whether it was in attending to his religious devotions, his business interests or his labors as a contributor for the press.
Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church, Lyndonville, yesterday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. R. Copeland, officiating.
Interment in Lynhaven Cemetery
