Rome Sentinel October 4, 1912
Lake Delta - Nathan Bellinger, who died on Thursday at the ripe age of 81 
years, was one of our most reliable citizens. He was born in Boonville June 4, 
1837, a son of John P. & Elizabeth Reese Bellinger and was the last survivor of 
the family. He was a grandson of John Bellinger who did duty as captain in the 
Fourds Regiment, Tryon county militia, and was at the battle of Oriskany, and a 
great grandson of Col. Peter Bellinger, of the same regiment. On his mother's 
side, Dr. Reese did heroic service in the Revolution when surgeons were scarce 
but much needed. Coming from the sturdy line of Mohawk Dutch acnsetry he 
inherited their vitality and longevity. In his youth he followed the occupation 
of carpenter and was successful. In 1884 he moved from Boonville to Delta, 
settling on the old Robert Felton homestead, where he lived until his removal 
on account of the barge canal reservoir. His wife, who was Elizabeth, daughter 
of George and Polly (VanBuskirk) Potter, died in 1885. He is survived by two 
daughters, Miss Jennie V. Bellinger, who tenderly cared for her father in his 
last days, and Mrs. Mary E. Miller, and one grandson, Fred N. Miller of Rome. 
Mr. Bellinger was very reserved in his manner, his greatest pleasure was in his 
home life where he was always to be found.
