OBITUARY DEATH: Livingston County Historian's Office, Geneseo, New York. Microfilm of Livingston Republican Newspaper dated November 28, 1889, Page 3 reads:

DEATH: FATAL ACCIDENT.
Dr. C. Harding Found Dead Near Nunda. Last Thursday afternoon Dr. C. Harding, a practicing physician of Nunda, was found dead on East Hill. His horse was nearby grazing and the buggy was overturned. By the prostrate body was the doctor's little dog keeping watch. His wife was notified of the sad occurrence and Coroner Dodge of Mt. Morris summoned. The Nunda News says: Dr. Dodge arrived on the evening train and examined the body which had been taken to Willard's undertaking rooms. He found a wound over the right eye sufficient to cause death, but whether caused in falling from the buggy and striking upon a stone, or from the kick of this horse, was uncertain, and never will be known, as no one saw the accident. The buggy was badly wrecked and the horse detached when Mrs. Gormel first discovered him. His watch had stopped at ten minutes to two o'clock, which indicates the time the accident occurred. The Coroner deemed an inquest unnecessary, as there was no question but that his death was caused by some accident, the exact nature of which could not be determined by an inquest. Dr. Harding had been a practicing physician in Nunda for over thirty years.
