"Edwin Brumley, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Schuyler Brumley, passed away at the home of his parents on Lark street Monday afternoon, after a few hours' illness. He had attended the fair on Friday with the exception of a slight cold, apparently in his usual health. He was reading a Sunday school paper which his sister had brought him the day before when he complained of not being able to see. He rubbed his eyes once more took up the paper only to let it fall from his nerveless fingers and with scarcely a sigh, his gentle spirit returned to his Maker. Had he lived until Oct. 30th, he would have been sixteen years old. For more than ten years he had not been able to walk, the disease finally terminating in tuberculosis of the bone. For two and a half years he was treated by Dr. Sterns, an osteopath of Schenectady, but all that medical science could offer failed to effect a cure. He was remarkably bright in his studies, passing the grades with high standings until the seventh was reached, when he was compelled to give up school as the longer hours of study were affecting his health. He was a great reader and kind friends saw that he was provided with books to his likings. The sympathy of many hearts goes out to the parents and especially to the devoted mother, whose hands have been so suddenly relieved of a loving burden. A daughter, Alice, with the father and mother survive ... Interment in the Rural cemetery." [The Cobleskill Index (Cobleskill, NY), Oct. 2, 1913, Page 1]
