Newspaper items from the WESTERN NEW YORKER

Shooting Affair. An ill-will of long standing between two neighbors named [Royal P.] Case and [Henry L.] Andrews, living near Johnsonsburg in this county, culminated in an affray during which Case shot Andrews with a pistol on Saturday last. The ball took effect in the neck, but it is believed that the wound will not prove fatal. - Thursday, June 14, 1866

The Case and Andrew Affair. We learn that the altercations between Case and Andrew which terminated in the shooting of Andrew, arose as follows: On the morning of June 10th Case went to his cornfield, which lies across the road and nearly opposite to Andrew's house, to see if Andrew's hens were injuring the corn. The parties commenced quarreling and using hard language, Andrew standing in his door yard and Case in his corn. After a little Case went to his house and sent his hired boy to drive his sheep down the road to feed on his road side, and went along himself, taking his pistol with him to shoot the hens if they were found in the corn. While the sheep were feeding, Andrew and his sons [William H. and Frank E. Andrews] came up through their orchard near where Case was standing. The boys commenced to whistle and throw stones among the sheep, causing them to run by Case. After a few harsh words, Andrew jumped over the fence and pitched into Case, threw him down and held him on the ground, handling him roughly until Case entreated him to let him go. After Case got up he stepped back towards his road fence, took out his pistol and cocked it, and told them they must not repeat what they had done. Andrew pitched into him again, taking him around the thighs and hips and endeavored to throw him. Case claims that as he was about to fall he threw his right hand, which held the cocked pistol, over Andrew's back, at which time the pistol discharged, the ball striking Andrew in the back, lodging in the side. This terminated the affray. Case gave himself up and is now in the custody of an officer. Andrews is quite low in consequence of the wound. The examination of Case is to held to-morrow at Varysburg, before Esq. [Luman P.] Lawrence [Sheldon Justice of the Peace]. - Thursday, June 21, 1866

Arrested for Murder. Andrews, who was shot in the affair with Case near Johnsonsburg, some weeks since, died on Friday last, and Case was immediately arrested on a warrant for murder. The examination commenced before Esquire [Gordon] Bently [Orangeville Justice of the Peace] yesterday and is to be continued to-day. - Thursday, August 2, 1866

Circuit Court. Judge [Martin] Grover is holding Court here this week. There is a large attendance -- the Hotels being overflowing. The main interest centers on the trial of Case on an indictment for the murder of Andrews. Hon. Sanford E. Church, L. [Linus] W. Thayer, and Bartlett & Pierce [law firm of Myron P. Bartlett and Beriah N. Pierce] are counsel for the prisoner. Dist.-Att'y [Byron] Healy conducts the prosecution, assisted by Thomas Corlett, Esq. The Jury was impaneled yesterday, and it is thought the trial will occupy three days. - Thursday, December 20, 1866

The Murder Trial. The Jury in the trial of Case for murder of Andrew, on Friday night brought in a verdict of manslaughter in the third degree. Judge Grover sentenced the prisoner to two years' imprisonment at Auburn. Not being able to attend the trial, we cannot review the testimony or notice the conduct of the case at length--gathering a few conclusions from unprejudiced persons who did attend. Originating in a neighbors' quarrel, and there being no material dispute as to the facts of the shooting, the case naturally turned upon the motive, the intent, the provocation, and the degree of malice. On these points the bringing out and sifting of testimony was very carefully managed. Ex-Dist.-Attorney Corlett conducted the examination of witnesses on the part of the people with great shrewdness and ability, as might be expected of a lawyer with his brains, experience, force and discretion. The testimony for the defence had been worked up by Bartlett & Pierce, and was complete, systematic and comprehensive to an extent that greatly conduced to what was generally regarded as a favorable verdict and a light sentence. L. W. Thayer, Esq., was entrusted with the important part of examining the witnesses on behalf of the defence. It is needless to say that it was done with much skill and adroitness. Hon. Sanford E. Church summed up the case for the prisoner in an address two hours and a-half in length, worthy of his high reputation as a lawyer. Members of the bar not engaged on the trial pronounced it a model for logical force, judicious arrangement, and eloquent presentation. The Dist. Attorney, Hon. B. Healy, summed up for the people in an effort that was said not to suffer at all in comparison with the effort of the ex-Lieut. Gov'r. He had sifted the case to the bottom, and presented facts, argument and appeal to the Jury in as strong a light as it could have well been done. Judge Grover's charge to the Jury was of an hour's length; and when Martin Grover talks an hour there has been a good deal said. It was clear, concise, strong and to the point, like all of this remarkable man's legal addresses. The trial excited much interest, and attracted a large number of spectators. - Thursday, December 27, 1866

Harriet HOLCOMB - b. Jan. 1, 1811, Varysburg, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Sep. 15, 1892, Johnsonburg, Wyoming Co., NY. Her birthdate is calculated from her age at death of 81 years, 8 months, 15 days. The information on the death certificate, supplied by Mrs. Daniel LINCOLN [probably a relation of her daughter-in-law Eva (LINCOLN) ANDREWS], includes her parents names as "Johna Hocumb" and "Sabra. Hocumb." Upon death of Henry, she lived with daughter Lillian on farm at Johnsonburg, Wyoming Co., NY. The 1870 Directory of Wyoming County lists Mrs. Harriet ANDREWS of the Town of Sheldon, post office Johnsonburg, lot 4 range 3, farmer, 82 1/2 acres. Harriet is found with son Frank and daughter Lillian in the 1870 census of Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY, and with daughter Lillian and a granddaughter in the 1880 census of Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY. The 1892 census of the Town of Orangeville shows Harriet HOLCOMB <sic> as age 80, among the 48 households listed. Daughter of Jonah HOLCOMB and Sabra.

Photographs of Henry and Harriet were taken shortly before his death in 1866. A photo of their daughter Melvina's brother-in-law Homer Atwood MOREY is in the Civil War Pension file of his widow, and appears to have been taken at the same time. All three photos appear to have the same mounts, print paper, trimming, and settings. Henry and Homer are posed the same, and the drapery in the photos of Harriet and Homer appear to be identical. An affidavit by George W. GOULD states that Homer's photo was taken at Johnsonburg. Homer was discharged from the Cavalry on July 19, 1865. Another photo of Harriet is estimated to have been taken about 1880.

1. Freeborn W. - b. Jul. 3, 1835, probably in Wyoming Co., NY; d. Aug. 26, 1864; bur. Johnsonburg Cemetery, Wyoming Co., NY. His birth date is calculated from his age at death (29-1-23). Family sources indicate he died while "attending school in N.Y." The Wyoming Co. Military Duty Enrollment 1862-63, for the town of Sheldon, lists Freeborn ANDREW at age 27, "teacher, claims asthma." Married Caroline, who survived him. An unconfirmed report identifies Caroline as Caroline UNDERWOOD, daughter of Calvin UNDERWOOD and Diantha BURLINGAME. Son of Freeborn ANDREWS: Henry C. (also known as Calvin Henry ANDREWS).
2. Wesley - b. about 1839, NY; d. about 1850 (before census dated Jul. 29, 1850), Wyoming Co., NY; bur. Johnsonburg Cemetery, Wyoming Co., NY. Died of typhoid fever, according to family sources. No grave marking has been found. It is possible that Wesley may be the same child as John W., who does not appear on the same list of children which includes Wesley.
3. Rosetta J. - b. Dec. 7, 1841, Orangeville, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Jun. 8, 1891; bur. Johnsonburg Cemetery, Wyoming Co., NY. Lived on farm near N. Java, NY. Married first Charles E. BACKUS (b. Sep. 2, 1836; d. Apr. 19, 1864 in Civil War; marker in Johnsonburg Cemetery, Wyoming Co., NY), second after Jul. 1866 Mr. TUTTLE, and third in the spring of 1875 Wakeman LOCKWOOD (b. Jun. 27, 1827, Java, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Sep. 3, 1890) as his second wife. Wakeman married first Feb. 19, 1850 Lydia A. EDDIE (b. Jun. 30, 1831; d. Jul. 13, 1874) and had two daughters: Florence (b. Aug. 22, 1858) and Hattie (b. Sep. 30, 1861). Wakeman is listed in the 1870 Directory of Wyoming County as being of Orangeville, post office North Wethersfield, lot 57, a farmer, with 140 acres. He and Lydia were buried in Union Corners Cemetery, Java, NY. From a photo taken about 1885 at Corfu, NY by Mrs. E. O. BRADLEY it appears that Rosetta had three daughters, one or all three being children of Wakeman. Rosetta is called Rosetta J. BACKUS of Shelden, Wyoming Co., NY in the Aug. 6, 1866 estate papers for her father. The grave marker for Charles and Rosetta reads: "Charles E. Backus died Apr 19, 1864 aged 27 yr's 7 mo's & 17 d's. Rosetta J. Lockwood his wife died June 8, 1891 aged 51 years."
4. Melvina E. - b. Sep. 7, 1843, Johnsonburg, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Jan. 2, 1926, Fort Worth, Tarrant Co., TX. Married William Clemeth MOREY.
5. William H. - b. 1844, Wyoming Co., NY. The Wyoming Co. Military Duty Enrollment 1862-63, for the town of Sheldon, lists Wm. H. ANDREW at age 18, farmer. He was living at Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY in 1866, but reportedly died at Kalamazoo, MI.
6. John W. - b. Oct. 24, 1845, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Aug. 11, 1847, Wyoming Co., NY; bur. there in Johnsonburg Cemetery.

Wyoming County vital records, file 50, gives date of death as Aug. 14, 1847 and cause as inflammation of lungs. Note that this son has not been reported by family sources, possibly due to death in infancy. Or he may be the child listed as Wesley - see above.
7. George W. - b. Dec. 26, 1847, Sheldon, Wyoming Co., NY; d. Aug. 13, 1864, Wyoming Co., NY; bur. there in Johnsonburg Cemetery.

The parents of Melissa (SPENCER) LINCOLN were Asa SPENCER and Sarah CALKINS. Frank and Eva lived in Batavia, Wyoming Co., NY. Notes of family members of Frank's sister Melvina E. (ANDREWS) MOREY give the name of Frank's wife as Evelyn, but all other records seen have Eva. The 1880 census of Sheldon lists Frank as age 26, a salesman, Eva age 22, keeping house, and Henry W. age 1 month. Son Henry and his wife Fannie (1884-1908) have a marker in Johnsonburg Cemetery, but Henry was buried at Morganville, NY beside his second wife.
