Rome Sentinel January 14, 1904
Stittville - Clarnece E. Alvord was found drowned in the knitting mill pond 
about 9 o'clock this morning by a party of men who had been searching for him 
since yesterday afternoon. 

About noon yesterday Mr. Alvord left his home, about a half mile from here on 
the road to Holland Patent, to inspect the quality of ice on the pond, from 
which a number of people have been cutting their year's supply. He was alone, 
and it is evident that he stepped on some thin ice, going through into the 
water. While the latter has a depth of only about four feet it is supposed he 
slipped under the ice in such a way that he could not get out. The body was 
found by men who were using a pike pole in examining the bottom of the pond and 
was thus brought to the surface. 

The remains were taken to Mr. Alvord's home and Coroner Dodd of Utica was 
sumoned. 

Mr. Alvord was born in the town of Trenton Jan. 4, 1846 and was a son of 
(illegible) and Mary Ward Alvord, who settled in Trenton in 1838. He was the 
last of three children, the others, Julian W. and Lillian H., having died some 
years ago. He first married fannie, a daughter of Daniel and Susan Sheldon, 
with whom he had two children, Harry who lives at home and Alice L. of 
Ticonderoga. For his second wife he married Alice Brooker, daugher of Charles 
and Lavina Martin.
