• Notes

  Leonard Gaige, who was injured during the Binghamton Exposition, by falling on the grounds, died at the residence of his brother, Ezra Gaige, at 12:15 this morning. Mr. Gaige was a former resident of the town of Kirkwood, having held the position of Justice of Peace in that village for a quarter of a century. He was also secretary of the Broome County Patrons Fire Relief Association. On the day of the accident, Mr. Gaige went to the exposition and had just entered the grounds, when he attempted to step across the ditch that is enclosed by the half mile track, missed his footing and fell, striking heavily on his back, breaking several ribs loose from the spine, and sustaining other internal injuries. For two years he had spent much time with his sister in Schoharie County. He is survived by three brothers Erza Gaige of this city, Thomas Gaige of Qwego and Robert Gaige of Tipton, Ia., and by two sisters, Mrs. Charlotte Meade of Owego and Mary Davidson of Gallupsville. He also leaves five sons, Frederick C., Herbert E. and Edwin T. Gaige of this city, William H. Gaige of Kirkwood and Dr. E. M. Gaige. of Cincinnati O. He was 70 years of age and a member of Chenango Tribe of Redmen. THE BINGHAMTON PRESS MONDAY OCTOBER 23 1905
