  Notes	Mrs. A. M. Arwine claimed by death Mrs. Laura Arwine, widow of the late A. M. Arwine, died at 4:30 o'clock this morning at her home No. 23 wells street, following a brief illness. Her health has been poor for several months but she was not stricken seriously sick until about a week ago. She was born in the town of Howard and but resided in Hornell for about forty years and was well known throughout the city. She was a member of the east avenue Church . She is survived by one son, Bert Arwin of this city and two grandchildren, Hazel and Alva Arwine, another son Louis having been killed a few years ago. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the house and burial will take place in Hope Cemetery. (The Evening Tribune Times March 27, 1923) Mrs. Laura Arwine of the sixth ward, brings us a copy of the Hornellsville Tribune, of January 29, 1852, giving amoung other things a history of a riot on the Turnpike, in the town of Howard that resulted in the killing of a man and serious injuries of others, with a request that we publish it. This is too ancient a piece of news to be worthy of much place now, however it will be interesting to recall an event that greatly interested our country over 44 years ago. A "protracted meeting had been in progress at the red school house" about four miles from town, on the turnpike and a party of men, whose names were given, resolved to break it up. They went there and created a decided disturbance and later when some of the members of the congregation went outside to look after their horse, they were assaulted in a villainous manner, with clubs, and one of them, a mr. Irway, was dangerously injured. Mr. Irway died in Hector,N.Y. , in 1890. The Mr. Irway mentioned above was the husband of Laura's half sister Mary Smih Erway. He was Benjamin Erway. This is probally why Laura kept the article all these years.
