Death at County House of James C. Hall, an Educated Hermit
Le Roy, July 6 - This morning at the county house in Bethany occurred the
death of James C. HALL, the Alexander hermit who, was removed from his house
in the latter town to the county house on April 16th. He was 75 years of age
and had failed rapidly since being taken from his home.
His care was a peculiar one in many respects. He was well educated, being a
graduate of Harvard University, but since the death of his mother he had
shunned people in general and lived alone in his house. Although he had a
farm of about 155 acres he would allow no one to work it until a year or two
ago.

NO LIGHT ON THE TRAGEDY
Le Roy, July 6 - Although four days have passed since the terrible tragedy in
LeRoy, there is, still much interest in the affair and it is being discussed
on all sides. There are no new developments, and apparently no light will
ever be thrown on the motive which prompted Mrs. BAXTER to take the life of
her children and then kill herself. The funeral was held on the afternoon of
July 4th and it was one of the saddest sights ever witnessed in this village.

WAYNE
Death of Wealthy and Prominent Agriculturist of Wayne County.
Clyde, July 6 - Albert Fox DEVEREAUX, a wealthy and popular agriculturist
residing three miles east of Clyde, died very suddenly yesterday afternoon
from paralysis, aged 80 years.
The childhood and youth of the deceased were spent in farming. In 1839 Mr.
DEVEREAUX's father, Stephen, moved to Wayne county, south of Clyde, with his
family, consisting of his wife and nine children, and purchased the Reuben
SMITH farm. At the age of 21 years Albert F. went to Michigan to make his
fortune. With $60.12, his total capital, he went to Battle Creek, and there
went to work on a construction of the Michigan Central Railroad, afterwards
taking up wild land near Grand Rapids. After a time he embarked in buying
Michigan cranberries and shipping to Albany, N. Y. He came to Galen in 1850
and married Mary E., daughter of Stephen HALL. They have two sons, Willard L.
and Stephen H.
In 1862 deceased bought the Stephen HULL property of 108 acres. In 1880 he
bought the adjoining property of 100 acres of Jeremiah MEAD, and in 1885
fifty acres of woodland in lot 74 along the Clyde river. In 1852 he was the
foremost of three planters in Galen, perhaps the first, in Wayne county to
engage in tobacco growing. This he continued for thirteen years.
Mr. DEVEREAUX was the earliest extensive planter of wine grapes and
manufacturer of wines and brandy in New York state. Beginning in 1856, before
the Pleasant Valley, Hudson river and Chautauqua grape and wine districts
were founded, he began producing wines for medicinal and sacramental purposes
of warranted purity. He was the first grower and seller of Niagara grapes in
Wayne county. Mr. DEVEREAUX was also a devoted agriculturist. His home farm
holds a large sum of costly farm land engineering in the removal of (didn't

CORONER'S DECISION
Holds That No One Was Responsible for Death of Archie M. Coole But Himself.
Lyons, July 6 - Coroner Dr. George S. ALLEN, of Clyde, has made his decision
as to the cause of death of Archie M. COOLE, of Buffalo, who perished in the
Central-Hudson roundhouse fire in this village last week. The decision
follows;
That the said Archie M. COOLE came to his death by burns in the village of
Lyons, N. Y., at the roundhouse of the New York Central & Hudson River
Railroad Company, which was destroyed by fire June 30, 1903.
That said burns were due to the ignition of gasoline which came from a
gasoline tire setter which said Archie M. COOLE was operating.
That escape of gasoline was due to a failure on the part of the said Archie
M. COOLE to relieve air pressure in said tire setter and to shut off gasoline
to feed pipe of burner when he made a disconnection in said feed pipe.
That owing to this error, the gasoline poured out upon a lighted lantern
which caused its ignition. I do not consider his death due to the negligence
of anyone other than himself.
