Name Orville Tousey Birth 02 Apr 1811 Connecticut, USA 
Gender Male Death 01 Jun 1867 Dansville, North Dansville, Livingston Co., New York, USA Burial Greenmount Cemetery, North Dansville, Livingston Co., New York, USA Notes - Tousey.- Suddenly in his office in this village, Orville Tousey, Esq.., of disease of the heart on Saturday, June 1st, aged 56 years. Mr. Tousey had not been a well man for several years; yet the state of his health had not been such as to preclude him from engaging actively and assiduously in private business and in the duties of his office. His death sudden and unexpected falls with crushing weight upon his afflicted family, and cast a sadness over the entire community. No man was more universally nor more favorably known in this vicinity than Orville Tousey. The deceased was a native of Connecticut; and he developed in his life, in a marked degree, all the energy, activity, business capacity and integrity which characterize the men of his state. In his boyhood he removed to Penfield, Monroe county, in this State; but in early manhood he made this village his home-- for thirty-six years he has been a resident here. It is safe to say that during this whole time no man has been so much engaged in, or so intimately acquainted with, the public business and enterprises of our town as the deceased. At the time of his death he was Justice of the Peace which office he held for twenty-four successive years, and to which he was chosen, at each ensuing election, by almost unanimous votes of his fellow citizens, even in times when party lines were distinctly marked. The duties of his official position and his extensive private business brought him in contact with all classes of people in the village and surrounding country. Everybody know Mr. Tousey and he knew everybody. Everybody did business with him and felt that he was sensible, clear-headed, honest man and worthy to be confided in. His death has left a void which no one among the living, known to us, is competent to fill.
