ORCUTT - At the residence of his son-in-law, Theron Kyle, on Anderson Hill, June 2d, 1875, of consumption, Mr. James Orcutt, in the 74th (error - should be 77 - see below) year of his age.
The subject of this brief sketch was born in Albany County, NY, December 4, 1797. He was a twin brother to Ezra Orcutt. At the age of four years his paternal parent was killed by the falling of a tree, thus introducing circumstances which caused the separation of the family, and as in those days, under such circumstances, the children were bound to some person until they arrived at the age of 21 years. Such were the bright prospects of the deceased. This early youth - such his circumstances, until he attained to manhood, when he married Miss Salina Crosberry (error - should be Crosby), a noble, intelligent and lovely woman, and commenced the duties of life with prospects bright and fair, toiling hard for the support of his increasing family, which soon grew to the number of ten. Six are still living - four sons and two daughters. Two sons are laboring hard for the salvation of souls; one in the East and one in the West. One son, Ezra Orcutt, a respected farmer, resides near Union, Broome County, NY and the other is in the far West. The two daughters are Mrs. Kyle, and the wife of Mr. Joel Anderson, who resides in Owego. Some 30 years ago deceased, with his family , removed to this county, near Gibson's Corners, where he lived a few years, subsequently purchasing a farm of our venerable friend and neighbor, Marshall Anderson, on Anderson Hill, some five miles north of Owego, living here and prospering until the death of his beloved wife, which occurred Sept 10th 1864. Since that time he has been traveling in the West and living with his children and friends, a consequence of his failing health, which has, like the running down of a clock, ceased to mark the time. The deceased was 77 years and six months old at his death, having lived more than the allotted time for man. He was a man of quick conception, good judgment, intelligent, thoroughly guarded in speech and manners, charitable to the utmost, respected by all with whom he comes in contact, a true friend, a genial companion, an obliging neighbor, a beloved husband, a dear, indulgent father, and above all, an earnest, devoted follower of that blessed Jesus of whom he so much, in his last hours, wished to hear and talk about. Often when near his end would he say to friends "tell Jesus I'll soon be there" and admonishing his children and friends not to mourn his loss, but remember that the "Lord gave and the Lord taketh away; blessed be the name of the Lord." Thus passeth away another landmark of time, soon to be forgotten, known only by the marble stone that marks the last resting place. The funeral services were held at the house of Theron Kyle, attended by a large concourse of friends and neighbors. The remains were interred in the Woodbridge Cemetery.
