DEATH OF K. P. SHEDD FORMER COUNTY CLERK
 
Had Been a Resident of Rochester More Than Half a Century -
Leaves Wife and Six Children
 
Former County Clerk Kendrick P. SHEDD died last evening at his late residence, No. 71 Aberdeen street, after an illness of about two weeks. Although Mr. SHEDD's health had been poor for a year, it had been so much better of late that the announcement of his death will shock his many friends.
     Mr. SHEDD was born at Trumansburg, this state, in 1837, and was a son of the Rev. Philander SHEDD, a well known Baptist minister. He received the usual common school and academic education and came to Rochester when about 45 years of age. Entering the employ of Dewey & Monroe, grocers, he remained in their employ until the breaking out of the Civil war. He enlisted and served throughout the war in the paymaster's department.
     Returning to Rochester after peace was declared, Mr. SHEDD went into the grocery business, forming a partnership with Elisha MACK, which was later succeeded by the firm of SHEDD & DEAN. Upon the death of Mr. DEAN, Mr. SHEDD conducted the business alone until elected county clerk in 1891.
     Mr. SHEDD served two terms as county clerk. During his term of office the records and papers of the clerk's office were moving on three different occasions, to allow of extensive altercations and the building of the present Court House. In spite of the difficulties of the understanding, the work was accomplished without closing the office for business for a single day and without a single record or paper being lost or misplaced. The present systematic arrangement of flies and records was also devised by him.
     Mr. SHEDD was a life member of Genesee Falls Lodge, No. 507, F. and A. M., and a Monroe Commandery. He was a director of the Protective Life Association, of this city.
     In 1866 Mr. SHEDD married Emily Eugenia MUDGE, who survives him, as do six children, Fred E. SHEDD, of London, Eng.; Mrs. Thomas E. FOULKES, of New York, and Mrs. Frederick B. LYDDON, Mrs. Albert E. VOGT, Jessie M. SHEDD and Henry D. SHEDD, all of this city.

WAS A PIONEER NEWSPAPER MAN
 
Death in Chicago of Simeon L. Deyo
Founded Naples Record
Mr. Deyo Was a Successful Newspaper Editor and Was Prominent
in Many Local Enterprises -- Well Known as a Singer in Early Life
 
Naples, Jan. 29 - A telegram from Chicago announces the death Saturday morning at the home of his son-in-law, B. T. VanHOUSEN, of Simeon L. DEYO, a lifelong resident of Naples until fifteen years ago, when he removed to Chicago to spend his last days with his children. His age was 75.
     Mr. DEYO had much to do with the life and progress of Naples and surrounding country. He was a successful teacher in his youth and a man of parts, particularly a ready writer. In the sixties he was deputy county clerk for three years. But his best work was as publisher and editor of our village paper for nearly thirty years. In 1870 he founded the Naples Record, then the only paper in Southern Ontario and Northern Steuben. It was a small sheet at first, but made a remarkable growth, attaining a circulation of 15,000 at one time, as large as any paper in the county.
     He claimed to be the first to introduce local correspondence and had a live correspondent in every hamlet or four corners for miles around. Though laughed at in the beginning, sneers soon turned to wonder and the idea became so popular as to be copied in all parts of the country. He sold the Record about 1885 and subsequently published the Neapolitan for several years. He was very prominent in the organization of the Naples Agricultural Society and took great interest in every scheme for improvement in the town, both moral and material.
     He was the oldest of six sons of the late Ira DEYO, of Naples, all of then possessing remarkable musical talent and for some years, directly after the war, gave concerts with great success through Western New York as "DEYO Brothers." He married Miss Abbie PIERCE, a famous soprano singer in her time, who died in 1890. Two only of the brothers are now living, George C. DEYO, of Naples, and Ira N. DEYO, of Richmond, a state excise officer. Mr. DEYO leaves two daughters, Mrs. Howard MEDBURY and Mrs. Will L. CLARKE, both of Chicago. His oldest daughter, Mrs. B. T. VanHOUSEN, died about five years ago. His body will be brought here for burial at Rose Ridge under the auspices of John Hodge Lodge, F. & A. M., of Naples, of which he was an original member.

GLAD TO BE BACK HOME
 
William LIMNER and David TIERNEY, the Auburn boys who left home to see Rochester and the rest of the world, have been returned to their parents. The boys had trouble with their fathers and boldly went forth to paddle their own canoes in the wide world. Before a week had elapsed they learned that at the age of 16 years the average boy is best off at home. After having put in a couple of days at the jail, they were highly pleased to be able to return to Auburn.

WOMEN SHOULD NOT VOTE
 
Decision of Judges of a Debate by Temperance Young People
 
A lively debate was held last night at the W. C. T. U. hall by the Central Senior Loyal Temperance Legion on the subject, "Resolved, That women should vote." Louis YOUST and William CURLETT gave many old-time objections to equal suffrage, which Miss OSGOOD and Miss Leota DENMAN, of the affirmative, earnestly and persistenly<sic> denied.
     One of the statement which the young women were unable to answer, for want of reliable data, was that "men should control governmental matters, because they own nearly all the taxable property of the state." Nearly a half hour was spent in open discussion of the question, both sides consenting.
     In deciding for the negative, Mrs. R. E. BALL, on behalf of the judges, recommended a renewal of the contest, with a more careful study of the subject, and gave to her young bearers instructions with reference to the simple rules that should govern a debate. There was a large attendance.
