Mr. Stearns who is an old man, while alone, had cut a large gash in his throat with his razor, but failed to sever the juggler vain. He was still trying to complete the awful work. Fred Andrews was the first to reach the house and a few minutes later Sam Thompson arrived. They attempted to get the razor, but were threatened by the desperate man, who finally retreated into the bedroom and locked the door. Other men came and the window was broken and through that they prevented the fatal stroke being given. After a long parley the razor was secured and Mr. Stearns apparently gave up the attempt and allowed his wounds to be dressed. Later in the day he swallowed some Paris green which he had evidently secreted in the cellar. This was done during a momentary absence of those attending him and as oon as discovered, a physician was called, who applied the usual remedies. He was still alive, but unconscious. His family relations were harmonious. He had taken his wife on his knee, prior to the attempt and bade her good bye three times. He then pulled the razor from his pocket and declared his purpose to end his life. She gave the alarm, but before assistance could reach the house, he had made the attempt. Later - as we go to press we learn that he is dead. MRS. SARAH STEARNS died at her home, Shinglehouse, Sept. 12, 1888, wife of Consider Stearns, in 70th year of her age. Born in Alfred, Allegany County, NY, June 26, 1819. When about thirteen she came to Hebron with her parents, George and Britty Stillman. They were subject to trials of pioneer life. When about 18 she became a subject of saving grace. Baptized by Rev. W. B. Gillett and united with Seventh Day Baptist Church of Hebron. In 1848 married Consider Stearns and spent her married life in Hebron and Eulalia until recently her home has been at Shinglehouse. Leaves husband and two children, Roscoe C.

Stebbins and Son in the Mercantile Business until the fall of 1866, when he became associated with the late Dr. Ellison in the Drug business, at which time possessed a cash capital of $100. The firm name was Ellison and Thompson until 1868 when the late John S. Mann acquired Dr. Ellison's interest and the name was changed to Thompson and Mann and again in 1879 to Thompson and Co., which name has became famous all over this section and still exists. Mr. Thompson was appointed Postmaster in 1869 by President Ulysses S. Grant. He held the office continuously for 18 years. On Sept. 30, 1868 he married Miss Cora E. Mann, daughter of the late John S. and Mary W. Mann of this Boro. She died Nov. 8, 1899 and to her memory has been erected the beautiful marble drinking fountain on the corner of Main and Third Streets.

Daniel C. Hyde, Early Obituaries of Potter County, PA
Search: Stebbins (7 records found)-
ISAAC BENSON died at his home in Coudersport Sunday morning, March 11, 1894, age 76 years, 7 months, 3 days. Born in Waterford, Erie County, PA, June 8, 1817. Attended academy at Waterford and studied at Warren, PA, and entered as student the office of Struthers, Johnson and Brown, attorneys at Warren. Admitted to the bar at that place in 1844. Began practice with that firm where he remained about a year. June 11, 1845, located in Coudersport and soon obtained a remunerative practice.
In 1856 was elected to the state legislature and to the state senate in 1859. December 14, 1857, he married Eugenia Laura, only daughter of Pierre A. and Almira (Burbdage) Stebbins, of Coudersport. She was born at Hammondsport, NY, November 17, 1832. Their only child, James Benson, born May 30, 1863. He graduated from the University of PA and was admitted to the bar in June 1884. On December 3, 1884, he married Miss Katherine Hodskin, daughter of Albert A. and Celina (Johnson) Hodskin.

JAMES B. BENSON died Saturday night, May 30, 1897. Only son of Isaac and Eugenia L. Stebbins Benson. Born May 30, 1863; classical education at Univ. of PA. Studied law with Wayne McVeigh of Philadelphia; admitted to bar in June 1884. From a boy was distinguished by his gentlemanly manners, dignified bearing, and rare intellectual attainments. Inheriting qualities of two families of high standing, had best of prospects.
Married December 3, 1884 to Miss Kittie Hodskin, Coudersport. Three children.

WILLIAM T. JONES died September 17, 1889 at Costello after lingering illness. Age about 75 years.
Came to Coudersport from Almond, NY in 1842. Opened a store in a building built by Nelson Clark, near the corner of Main and Fifth Streets. (West side of street) soon established a flourishing business. Having taken his brother, Arch F. Jones, the firm, W.T. Jones and Bro. On 1844 built a more commodious place of business on corner of Main and Second, N.W. Corner, where now stands the store of P. A. Stebbins and Bro. He extended his field of operations, in manufacturing and buying of lumber, and furnishing supplies to lumbermen.
Confined themselves to no special line of trade in their store, but kept in stock nearly every variety of article that would be called for in a backwoods town, having no convenient access from to large towns from which to obtain supplies. These goods were hauled at great costs over poor roads from Dansville, NY, the nearest from Coudersport to which they could be shipped by Erie Canal. In exchange for these goods W. T. Jones and Brother took nearly every conceivable product of the county for which they could find a market at home or abroad. Lumber, ashes, or potash salts, grain, cattle, venison, skins, furs, and pelts, labor, etc.
The work attendant upon the collection of these articles and getting them to market was Herculean, and if hard work ever brought success, W. T. Jones and Brother deserved it.
But with a generosity, not always justifiable by results, from a strictly business stand point, few that came to them in the stress of need, but what received help and credits and, in a new country, as Potter County then was, there were many such. Often in those days has the writer known a poor man, a settler, to come to W. T. Jones and ask for help in tiding over the dark days that had come upon him and his family and receive in reply, "No, you can never pay me." He would turn to his clerk and say, "Give this man what he wants."
This generosity led to business complications and to the dissolution of the partnership and the closing up of the business. W. T. Jones was never able to regain his business standing. At one time thought to be the richest merchant in Potter County, he died poor. There will always be a warm spot in our hearts for the man who through generosity helped those in need.

HON. WILLIAM SHEAR - In the death of Hon. William Shear, Coudersport loses one of its best known and most highly honored citizens. Seldom, if ever, does it happen that one comes to the end of life more universally loved by young and old, more highly held in esteem and confidence for integrity and uprightness than was Squire Shear. His genial presence and friendly manner will be greatly missed from the scene of his daily activities. Almost to the last he continued in the routine of his office, to which he had been thrice elected without opposition, his nomination being ratified by both parties. His popularity in office won for him the patronage of a large constituency, as is testified by the large number of marriages performed and of cases tried.
William Shear was of Scotch descent, being born June 7, 1826, in Kelso, Berwickshire, Scotland. When seven years of age he came with his parents to Duffins Creek, Province of Ontario, Canada, where he received a common school education. As the oldest among ten children, he was early endured to hard toil. He came to Coudersport in 1863 and engaged in the tanning business, being associated with Pierre Stebbins and others, and later with Hon. C. S. Jones.

PIERRE A. STEBBINS - Born July 8, 1808 in New York State. Died in Coudersport at age of 76 years. In 1850 removed to Ulysses Township and came to Coudersport in 1853, having been elected Sheriff; has since resided here. Wife died some ten years ago. Four sons and a daughter remain.

M.S. THOMPSON - On Monday morning at a few minutes after midnight, occurred the death of Mr. M. S. Thompson at his residence on the corner of East and Fifth Streets at the age of 72 years. Some four years ago he suffered a severe attack of stomach trouble from which he so far recovered as to be able to attend to his store business and also, his duties as a railroad official. But his health gradually declined until ten weeks ago he was taken suddenly with a stroke, from which he did not rally.
Funeral held from the residence at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Bearers: John M. Clark, Wm. A. Shear, M. S. Harvey, Milton J. Potter, E. J. Stocking and Dr. R. B. Knight.
Melville Sirrilus Thompson was born at Norwich, Chenango County, NY, March 11, 1839, where he spent the first 20 years of his life in the acquirement of an education at home and in the common schools of the village. In 1859 he came to Coudersport and worked for his brother, Z. J. Thompson as a wheelwright for three years. Then he entered the employ of P. A.

Mr. Thompson was appointed Postmaster in 1869 by President Ulysses S. Grant. He held the office continuously for 18 years.
On Sept. 30, 1868 he married Miss Cora E. Mann, daughter of the late John S. and Mary W. Mann of this Boro.

M.S. THOMPSON - On Monday morning at a few minutes after midnight, occurred the death of Mr. M. S. Thompson at his residence on the corner of East and Fifth Streets at the age of 72 years. Some four years ago he suffered a severe attack of stomach trouble from which he so far recovered as to be able to attend to his store business and also, his duties as a railroad official. But his health gradually declined until ten weeks ago he was taken suddenly with a stroke, from which he did not rally. Funeral held from the residence at 3 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. Bearers: John M. Clark, Wm. A. Shear, M. S. Harvey, Milton J. Potter, E. J. Stocking and Dr. R. B. Knight. Melville Sirrilus Thompson was born at Norwich, Chenango County, NY, March 11, 1839, where he spent the first 20 years of his life in the acquirement of an education at home and in the common schools of the village. In 1859 he came to Coudersport and worked for his brother, Z. J. Thompson as a wheelwright for three years. Then he entered the employ of P. A. Stebbins and Son in the Mercantile Business until the fall of 1866, when he became associated with the late Dr. Ellison in the Drug business, at which time possessed a cash capital of $100. The firm name was Ellison and Thompson until 1868 when the late John S. Mann acquired Dr. Ellison's interest and the name was changed to Thompson and Mann and again in 1879 to Thompson and Co., which name has became famous all over this section and still exists. Mr. Thompson was appointed Postmaster in 1869 by President Ulysses S. Grant. He held the office continuously for 18 years. On Sept. 30, 1868 he married Miss Cora E. Mann, daughter of the late John S. and Mary W. Mann of this Boro. She died Nov. 8, 1899 and to her memory has been erected the beautiful marble drinking fountain on the corner of Main and Third Streets.

ISAAC BENSON died at his home in Coudersport Sunday morning, March 11, 1894, age 76 years, 7 months, 3 days. Born in Waterford, Erie County, PA, June 8, 1817. Attended academy at Waterford and studied at Warren, PA, and entered as student the office of Struthers, Johnson and Brown, attorneys at Warren. Admitted to the bar at that place in 1844. Began practice with that firm where he remained about a year. June 11, 1845, located in Coudersport and soon obtained a remunerative practice.
In 1856 was elected to the state legislature and to the state senate in 1859. December 14, 1857, he married Eugenia Laura, only daughter of Pierre A. and Almira (Burbdage) Stebbins, of Coudersport. She was born at Hammondsport, NY, November 17, 1832. Their only child, James Benson, born May 30, 1863. He graduated from the University of PA and was admitted to the bar in June 1884. On December 3, 1884, he married Miss Katherine Hodskin, daughter of Albert A. and Celina (Johnson) Hodskin.

JAMES B. BENSON died Saturday night, May 30, 1897. Only son of Isaac and Eugenia L. Stebbins Benson. Born May 30, 1863; classical education at Univ. of PA. Studied law with Wayne McVeigh of Philadelphia; admitted to bar in June 1884. From a boy was distinguished by his gentlemanly manners, dignified bearing, and rare intellectual attainments. Inheriting qualities of two families of high standing, had best of prospects.
Married December 3, 1884 to Miss Kittie Hodskin, Coudersport. Three children.

WILLIAM T. JONES died September 17, 1889 at Costello after lingering illness. Age about 75 years.
Came to Coudersport from Almond, NY in 1842. Opened a store in a building built by Nelson Clark, near the corner of Main and Fifth Streets. (West side of street) soon established a flourishing business. Having taken his brother, Arch F. Jones, the firm, W.T. Jones and Bro. On 1844 built a more commodious place of business on corner of Main and Second, N.W. Corner, where now stands the store of P. A. Stebbins and Bro. He extended his field of operations, in manufacturing and buying of lumber, and furnishing supplies to lumbermen.
Confined themselves to no special line of trade in their store, but kept in stock nearly every variety of article that would be called for in a backwoods town, having no convenient access from to large towns from which to obtain supplies. These goods were hauled at great costs over poor roads from Dansville, NY, the nearest from Coudersport to which they could be shipped by Erie Canal. In exchange for these goods W. T. Jones and Brother took nearly every conceivable product of the county for which they could find a market at home or abroad. Lumber, ashes, or potash salts, grain, cattle, venison, skins, furs, and pelts, labor, etc.
The work attendant upon the collection of these articles and getting them to market was Herculean, and if hard work ever brought success, W. T. Jones and Brother deserved it.
But with a generosity, not always justifiable by results, from a strictly business stand point, few that came to them in the stress of need, but what received help and credits and, in a new country, as Potter County then was, there were many such. Often in those days has the writer known a poor man, a settler, to come to W. T. Jones and ask for help in tiding over the dark days that had come upon him and his family and receive in reply, "No, you can never pay me." He would turn to his clerk and say, "Give this man what he wants."
This generosity led to business complications and to the dissolution of the partnership and the closing up of the business. W. T. Jones was never able to regain his business standing. At one time thought to be the richest merchant in Potter County, he died poor. There will always be a warm spot in our hearts for the man who through generosity helped those in need.

HON. WILLIAM SHEAR - In the death of Hon. William Shear, Coudersport loses one of its best known and most highly honored citizens. Seldom, if ever, does it happen that one comes to the end of life more universally loved by young and old, more highly held in esteem and confidence for integrity and uprightness than was Squire Shear. His genial presence and friendly manner will be greatly missed from the scene of his daily activities. Almost to the last he continued in the routine of his office, to which he had been thrice elected without opposition, his nomination being ratified by both parties. His popularity in office won for him the patronage of a large constituency, as is testified by the large number of marriages performed and of cases tried.
William Shear was of Scotch descent, being born June 7, 1826, in Kelso, Berwickshire, Scotland. When seven years of age he came with his parents to Duffins Creek, Province of Ontario, Canada, where he received a common school education. As the oldest among ten children, he was early endured to hard toil. He came to Coudersport in 1863 and engaged in the tanning business, being associated with Pierre Stebbins and others, and later with Hon. C. S. Jones.

ASSOCIATE JUDGE CONSIDER STEARNS - Residents of upper East Street were startled on Monday forenoon, March 11, 1895 by screams from the home of Judge Stearns. Mr. Stearns who is an old man, while alone, had cut a large gash in his throat with his razor, but failed to sever the juggler vain. He was still trying to complete the awful work. Fred Andrews was the first to reach the house and a few minutes later Sam Thompson arrived. They attempted to get the razor, but were threatened by the desperate man, who finally retreated into the bedroom and locked the door. Other men came and the window was broken and through that they prevented the fatal stroke being given. After a long parley the razor was secured and Mr. Stearns apparently gave up the attempt and allowed his wounds to be dressed. Later in the day he swallowed some Paris green which he had evidently secreted in the cellar. This was done during a momentary absence of those attending him and as oon as discovered, a physician was called, who applied the usual remedies. He was still alive, but unconscious. His family relations were harmonious. He had taken his wife on his knee, prior to the attempt and bade her good bye three times. He then pulled the razor from his pocket and declared his purpose to end his life. She gave the alarm, but before assistance could reach the house, he had made the attempt.

Later - as we go to press we learn that he is dead.

MRS. SARAH STEARNS died at her home, Shinglehouse, Sept. 12, 1888, wife of Consider Stearns, in 70th year of her age. Born in Alfred, Allegany County, NY, June 26, 1819. When about thirteen she came to Hebron with her parents, George and Britty Stillman. They were subject to trials of pioneer life. When about 18 she became a subject of saving grace. Baptized by Rev. W. B. Gillett and united with Seventh Day Baptist Church of Hebron. In 1848 married Consider Stearns and spent her married life in Hebron and Eulalia until recently her home has been at Shinglehouse. Leaves husband and two children, Roscoe C. Stearns and Lydia, wife of Dr. Tassell. Buried at Hebron. Rev. Jared Kenyon, of Independence.
