    Notes:

    BELLPORT, EDITOR SIGNAL: One of those curious coincidences - the simultaneous death of friends - recently occurred in this vicinity.

    Soon after the beginning of the present century two sons were born to parents living near this village. These boys were own cousins, and grew up to develop characters very much akin. Both were quiet, unassuming men, and in disposition honest and God-fearing - ever ready to do a kindness for a neighbor, and turning away none "that would borrow." They had hosts of friends and, as far as we know, no enemies. After long lives of usefulness, having passed man's allotted time and nearly reached their four-score years, venerable from age and genuine kindliness of life, they have both passed into eternal life within a few hours of each other. These men - Mr. Salem Corwin, of Bellport, and Mr. Mulford Osborn, of East Patchogue - were "united in life, and in their death were not separated."

    The health of each had been quite poor for several weeks past, and Mr. Osborn had repeatedly asked to see his friend who in turn was greatly distressed at being unable to visit his dear friend and only living relative.

    On Monday morning, May 12, Mr. Corwin quietly and peacefully went home. Within twelve hours his life-long friend had gone to re-join him and rejoice with him over their eternal deliverance.

    The funeral of Mr. Corwin was held at the M. E. Church on the following Wednesday afternoon - Revs. Reeve and Barlett officiating. Among the friends of the deceased we noticed Mrs. Pinckny, of City Island; Mr. George Phail, Mrs. Knapp, Mrs. Ida Dunham and Eugene Ackerly, of Brooklyn; V. B. Hulse. Mr. W. A. Hulse, Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Hulse, of Bay Shore; Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Hulse and Mrs. H. Newton, of Sayville; and Mr. and Mrs. H. Gordon, of Bridgeport, Conn.
