• Notes

  "A fatal accident occurred at Clifton Springs on the 23d ult. While Virgil Clum and Stephen Maloney, Jr., were working in the sand pit near the Sanitarium, a portion of the bank caved in, entirely burying Clum and covering Maloney to his neck. The latter was extricated without injury, but it took several minutes to uncover Clum's head, and life was extinct before the work was accomplished. Drs. Spalding and Thayer vainly tried to resuscitate him. Mr. Clum was a highly esteemed and industrious citizen; he leaves a widow. The funeral was conducted by Rev. S. H. Adams yesterday afternoon; interment at Red Creek." (Geneva Gazette 1 May 1896) "The remains of Virgil Clum of Clifton Springs, son-in-law of Mr. George Mack of North Wolcott, were taken to the latter place for interment on Monday. The deceased came to his death by the caving in of a sand bank in which he was working." (The Fair Haven Register, May 1896) "J. M. Burgdorf used his new hearse for tho first time to convey the remains of the late Virgil Clum from the house to the railroad station." (Clifton Springs Press, May 1896)
