Williams' Body Recovered

New York, 1895

The body of Charles Williams, whose capsized boat was found in the bay at Bay Shore on Saturday, was recovered Monday by Andrew Baldwin in East Cove. The deceased was 25 years old. He was subject to epileptic fits and the supposition is that, being attacked when out sailing, he fell overboard and was drowned.


He Could Not Live Alone

Uncle Jesse Conklin, the veteran stage driver of Huntington, died Friday morning of paralysis. Mr. Conklin's wife died on Thursday and he only survived her a few hours.
