January 18, 1890? Union Springs Advertiser, Union Springs, NY  "A Pleasant Call - Last evening a number of the members of the class of which David Salisbury is a member, of Wall street M. E. Church, called at his residence to congratulate him on the 91st anniversary of his birth. A pleasant hour was passed in social converse and several tokens of remembrance were left by Mr. Salisbury's friends with which he is highly gratified. Mr. Salisbury is remarkable smart for one his age. He is also a member of the Victorious Lodge of Good Templars, and is probably the oldest member of the order in the world. The above appeared in the Auburn Daily Advertiser. Mr. Salisbury has resided many years of his long and useful life in Union Springs, enlisting while here, in the late war, he served his time faithfully, and now receives a pension from the government. Mr. Salisbury's wife died several years since and an only daughter, Mrs. James Manchester, followed her about a month ago. A son, George, and his family are all that the old man has left this side of the riser of time of his children. Union Springs friends will join in the birthday congratulations."

M. Osborne & Co. fell yesterday afternoon and four men were injured. They are: George W. Salisbury, the well-known bass singer, of No. 1 1/2 Lewis street F. B. Harvey George Tuff James Farrell The elevator was loaded with reaper and mower wheels and, according to the best information obtainable immediately after the accident, the lift was within three feet of the top, the fourth floor, when the machinery gave way and it fell. The descent was not rapid but when the lower floor was reached, the elevator toppled over and precipitated the men and wheels into the pit below. The wheels fell on the men and it took some few minutes to get the injured out of the pit and to the floor above, where Dr. D. F. Armstrong, after a cursory examination, ordered Harvey removed to the City hospital. Salisbury, who ran the elevator, Tuff and Farrell were taken to their homes in carriages. Dr. Crevelling also arrived before all the men had been removed. No definite idea as to the extent of the injuries of the men could be obtained but all were badly bruised and it was said all were suffering from shock and injury to the spine. No explanation as to the cause of the accident was given by the employer. One Dead Later - Harvey died shortly after his arrival at the hospital." Source: http://www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html

MOTHER AND THREE CHILDREN DIE WHEN FIREWORKS EXPLODE.   ONE OTHER IS KILLED OUTRIGHT - SMALL GIRL VICTIM DIES AT THE HOSPITAL. SEVERAL HOUSES WRECKED. FIREWORKS STORED IN AUBURN RESIDENCE EXPLODE EARLY THIS MORNING, HURLING THE OCCUPANTS OF THE HOUSE INTO ETERNITY -- EXPLOSIVES WERE STORED FOR AN ITALIAN CELEBRATION. Auburn, Aug. 13. -- Five people were killed, four of them instantly, in an explosion of fireworks and high explosives in the home of RAPHAEL CHECHE at No. 19 Coon Street early today. The victims were: COSMO CARMELENGO, a maker of fireworks, whose home is in New Jersey. MRS. MARY CHECHE and three children, EMMA, aged 11 years, ARMANDO, aged 9 years and CARMELA aged 7. The fireworks were being prepared by CARMELENGO for a big celebration planned by the members of St. Francis D'Assissi Church in observance of the feast of the Assumption on August 15th. Brought Four Boxes of Explosives. CARMELENGO came here last night. He brought with him four boxes of a high explosive to be used in making the fireworks. Although it was said that this was gunpowder, the police and fire department, both of which worked on the case, believe that it was dynamite. The CHECHE house, a two-story frame structure, was completely annihilated. After the explosion it was a mass of splintered wood and stone. The bodies were horribly mangled. Several of them were blown to pieces. The youngest child suffered a fractured skull and died at the City hospital to which she had been rushed with all possible speed. Series of Detonations. The explosion took place between 6:30 and 7 o'clock. There was a series of detonations, one succeeding the others in rapid order. They were heard for miles around. Houses within a radius of a quarter of a mile or more were damaged by the flying timbers and stones and by the force of the explosion. Italian Colony In Mourning. The entire Italian colony is in mourning as a result of the tragic forerunner of their celebration. Elaborate plans had been made to have the celebration of the feast of the Assumption of the Italian church this year the biggest in the history of the church. Invitations had been sent all over the State and the responses told that hundreds of Italian people were to be here. Large Sum Raised. A large sun had been raised for the celebration. In order that the pyrotechnics might be on the best that could be secured. It was determined to have a specially equipped man come here. So they sent for COSIMO CARMELENGO of New Jersey. He has been engaged in the work before and it was believed that he knew all about the work and the danger. He brought with him when he came last night four large boxes. He said that this contained gun powder that was to be put in the fireworks. Made Fireworks In Cellar. CHECHE had taken a special interest in the work and he arranged that the fireworks should be made in the cellar of his home in Coon Street. CHECHE himself is employed by the Auburn & Electric Railroad company and he left the home this morning early. WHen he went away CARMELENGO was starting for the cellar, to begin work on the fireworks. In the house were MRS. CHECHE and the three children. Cause Is Unknown. No one knows just how the accident happened. There was a great explosion. Then another and another followed rapidly. The house was demolished, the woodwork was turned into splinters. Huge sticks were hurled high in the air. Pieces of the broken up cellar wall and the dirt and rocks about the cellar were hurled high in the air. They struck in a shower into the sides and upon the tops of houses within a radius of a hundred yards or more. Windows were broken and homes were shocked by the force of the explosions. Reports Heard For Miles. The reports were heard for more than a mile and all over the city people wondered. Some of them thought that there had been an earthquake. People living in the immediate vicinity of the house feared that some great calamity had overtaken the city. Syracuse Herald New York 1912-08-14

Thursday, February 5, 1914 The Syracuse Herald, Syracuse, NY  "Missing Auburn Man Believed in the Woods Sherman S. Salisbury Who Disappeared at Malone. May Be Mentally Unbalanced. Watertown - Feb. 5 - John M. Hyde, head of the Black River Paper & Manufacturing Company, by which Sherman S. Salisbury of Auburn was employed as a traveling representative when he disappeared at Malone on October 25th, has within the past few days, received information which leads him to believe that Salisbury is alive and working at some Adirondack lumber camp near Tupper Lake, and it is believed that the man is mentally unbalanced. At Tupper Lake, the ? case ? By Salisbury was found containing letters from Mrs. Salisbury which her husband must have received three weeks before he disappeared but which (unable to read). continued to write and telegraph her up to two days before he disappeared. A search has been commenced among the lumber camps for the missing man."

Monday, February 9, 1914 The Post Standard, Syracuse N.Y.  "Missing Auburn Man is Located in Adirondacks Sherman S. Salisbury Employed at Lumber Camp, Mr. Wallace Informs Friends AUBURN - Feb. 8 - Sherman S. Salisbury of No. 17 Mary street in this city, reported to have been missing from Watertown for nearly four months, is in the Adirondacks about thirty miles north of Tupper lake, according to Richard A. Wallace, a local constable. Mr. Wallace has returned from the Adirondacks and made public the information today. Mr. Wallace says he talked with Mr. Salisbury. The latter is said to be contently working in a lumber camp. Mr. Wallace said Mr. Salisbury agreed to return to Watertown and Auburn in due time and make a full explanation of the circumstances surrounding his unannounced departure from the office of the Black River Paper Company. The trip of Mr. Wallace was made at the request of friends of Mr. Salisbury in this city. The latter was prominent in large circles and made many friends when he was in charge of the job department of the Auburn Publishing Company. Mr. Salisbury's wife who resides with her father in Mary street, has been ill. She stated this afternoon she had been ordered by her physician not to talk about the case. Conceiving of no reason why her husband should leave Watertown, Mrs. Salisbury believes he must have met with an accident. His present position in the lumber camp is said to be more remunerative than his Watertown employment."

AUBURN LANDMARK BURNED. Cayuga County Courthouse Destroyed With a Loss of $200,000.   AUBURN, N. Y., April 30 - The Cayuga County Courthouse was destroyed by fire of unknown origin this afternoon. The building was a handsme [sic] landmark of Colonial type, erected early in the last century, and was the scene of William H. Seward's defense of the negro murderer, Freeman, the first to use insanity as a defense in a murder case in the United States. The structure was surmounted by a dome, and this fell in an hour after the fire was discovered. The vaults of the Cayuga County Surrogate are believed to be intact, but some of the records of the District Attorney, Sheriff and of lawyers in the outer rooms of the Surrogate's chambers were damaged, together with the law library in the chambers of Justice A. P. Rich. As the fire began in the upper floors, a gang of men working with deputy sheriffs and jailers rescued many records before being driven out by the flames. The loss will reach $200,000.
