FUNERAL
- The funeral of Mrs. G.W. CHAMBERLIN, who was suddenly stricken down last week, with paralysis, took place yesterday morning from the Universalist church. A large and sympathizing assemblage of friends of the deceased,--whose amiable qualities and womanly graces had endeared her to a large circle--was present on the solemn occasion. In the death of his
estimable lady Mr. CHAMBERLIN has sustained an irreparable loss. A woman of unobtrusive worth and sterling character, rich in all those graces that make companionship attractive and endear the home circle, she faithfully performed the duties of her allotted sphere as a true wife and mother, and attached to herself the sympathy and love of all who knew her. Stricken down when apparently in the bloom of health, and suddenly removed from the scenes she had graced so well, she is mourned by friends who will weave about her memory the richest remembrances of virtue and womanly dignity. In
his sad bereavement, Mr. CHAMBERLIN has the heartfelt sympathy of the community.
- Death Of A Former Trojan -- Major Edmund FRENCH, for some time a resident of Troy, and Superintendent of the Hudson River Railroad, died in Washington on Saturday, aged about 56 years. His disease was jaundice. Mr. FRENCH had lately been subjected to persecution for an alleged defalcation from one of the Departments at Washington in which he was employed, and his trial was to have begun the morning of his death. It was confidently believed by his friends that he would have established his innocence beyond a doubt. Major FRENCH was a graduate at West Point--the classmate and intimate friend of Hon. Jefferson DAVIS. He married a daughter of Elias PATTERSON, of Troy, and leaves many relatives here to lament his death. His son, a young man of exceeding promise, was killed a year or two since, while gunning in Minnesota, by his companion, who mistook him for game, and who fired with such precision as to kill him almost instantly. Young FRENCH only had time to write on the blank page of a Bible the circumstances of the accident, and to exculpate his friend from all blame.
