The death of Alonzo David Carleton occurred at his home on the Mexico Road, Saturday morning, June 19th.

Mr. Carleton had been ill for over a year, most of the past year having been spent in the Oneida Hospitals in March, realizing that there was no help, he asked to be brought to his home, where he has been tenderly and devotedly cared for by his brother, James, and sister, Mrs. Whaley.

Mr. Carleton was born in the Town of Camden June 30, 1865 a son of the late John R. and Ellen Carleton. He was a member of Trinity Episcopal Church, having joined many years ago.

He was a farmer by occupation, highly respected neighbor and friend.

He leaves to mourn his loss one brother James, five sisters, Mrs. Judson Freeman, Mrs. Laura Whaley, Mrs. Sarah Helmer, Mrs. Tracy Yorton, Mrs. Merritt Babcock, two daughters, Miss Bertha Carleton, of Syracuse, Mrs. Mary Philo, Fayetteville, and 11 grandchildren.

The funeral services were held Monday 2 p.m. from the Sanborn Funeral Home, the Rev. George H. MacNish officiating. Burial was in Forest Park Cemetery.

A suit for divorce by Alonzo Carleton against Mary I. Carleton was heard Wednesday before R. C. Briggs of Rome, as referee, in the law office of A. C. & E. C. Woodruff, who appeared as attorneys for the plaintiff. The parties had lived together until June, 1892, when the wife went visiting some of her people in Oswego county, taking their three children with her. Her husband accompanied her part of the way and visited her occasionally until last March, when he discovered in the Camden Advance a summons notifying him that he was sued for a divorce. This was a great surprise to Mr. Carleton, it being the first notification he had received that their relations were other than friendly. Mr. Carleton appeared by his attorney, Mr. Woodruff, and the action was discontinued. The next notice he received was a letter from his wife, saying she obtained a divorce in Pennsylvania, and had married a man named Victor E. Piquet of West Monroe. Inquiry was made by Mr. Carleton's attorney into the regularity of the divorce and marriage, and information was received from official sources that neither had taken place. The wife defended the suit yesterday upon the ground that she was legally divorced. She appeared without counsel, and when confronted with official information claimed she had been duped and that she married in good faith. The court intimated to her that even if this position were correct, it would be no defense to the present suit, as a divorce granted in another state had no binding force unless the defendant was sued in that state or had appeared, which was not done. The only real dispute was over the custody of the children, which was adjusted subject to ratification by the court.
