Addison Wibur, who was reported as seriously ill in last issue of the Review, died suddenly Sunday afternoon, in the 76 year of his age.
The funeral services were held Tuesday from the Christian church. Interment in Grove cemetery.
Mr. Wibur has been nearly, a lifelong resident of this, village, and has held many prominent positions. He had always been a staunch democrat and never was known to falter, no matter what issues were at stake. For the past-few years on account of his age he was feeble in health - but his mind was active until his sickness that terminated in death.
The near relatives left to mourn their loss are an invalid wife (Janette); a son, J. M. Swart Wibur of Larribee's Point, Vt.; two daughters, Mrs. George Mead (Julia)Wilbur Parker of Oneonta. N. Y., and Mrs. A. L (Nettie) Hardin of this village, beside hosts of friends and acquaintances, all of whom have our sympathy in this their hour of sore affliction.

========================
At about ten minutes to two o'-clock Friday afternoon, May 7th, the cry of fire, together with the ringing of the church bell, and telephoning to our sister village Delanson, gave us a sure warning that a fire was under headway which required every effort possible that could be rendered by human hands to succumb, and had it not of been that every available means at command were used, and every person present doing his and her best, it is without doubt the half of Quaker Street would today been in ashes.
At the first alarm of fire it was discovered that a pile of boards about twenty feet north-west of the residence of Esq. Addison Wilber's house were on fire, A bucket brigade was quickly formed and water freely used and it was thought the fire could easily be extinguished but soon it was discovered that the roof of the Wilber house was ablaze and the fire spread with such rapidity that it was soon known the house could not be saved.
Attention was at once turned the inmate, Mrs. Wilber, who has been an invalid for some length of time and by the effort of her husband and others she walked to the American House, and there remained, not to see, but to learn that the house and nearly all of the goods it contained were totally destroyed, making a total loss, as Estimated of twelve to fifteen hundred dollars without any insurance.
While, this is a severe- blow to Mr. Wilber and a loss by which no one is a gainer yet the people of this village may well congratulate themselves that no more serious results followed.
