Henry Crouse, aged 25 years who resides at No. 72 Forbes street, made an unsuccessful attempt to end his existence according to all indications at his home late Monday afternoon. He drank a quantity of oxalic acid, but the timely discovery of this fact gave the physicians summoned opportunity to use the stomach pump with excellent effect and the young man will now recover.
Crouse is a liveryman by occupation and resides with his mother and sister. It is thought that heavy drinking on the part of the young man caused him to become despondent and atempt his life. He was in an intoxicated condition at the time. This was the only reason that could be given for the rash act. When his family discovered his predicament they summoned Drs. Walton, Hyland and Schiller who succeeded in getting all the poison out of the young man's stomach.
It was at first rumored that It was Maurice Eisenberg' who tried to commit sucicide but this young man was at work at the time.- Newspaper Article (Amsterdam Evening Recorder, NY, Friday, April 14, 1905)
Henry Crouse, who has been confined at the Utica hospital since last December, was discharged from that institution Thursday and sent back to his home in this city. Crouse went to the residence of his mother on Forbes street and proceeded to make life uneasy for her. The police were notified but were unable to locate Crouse during the night he having fled from the house. This morning at 7:30 o'clock he was found by Officer Finnan and taken to headquarters. Crouse seems to be perfectly sane and the Utica officialos after being communicated with said that they did not want him back in that he was of sound mind. Crouse was locked up and later today he will probably be liberated if he promises to secure employment and keep away from his mother's home in the future.- Burial (Canajoharie Courier, NY, April 18, 1915)

LOVE AT SIGHT, HASTY MARRIAGE
Wedding Trip in a Carriage, From Saloon to Saloon,
BRIDE AHD GROOM LOCKED DP IT IIGHT
An Ephratah Farmer Has a High Old Time in this City.
HE HAS SEEN 62 WINTERS-HIS BRAND NEW WIFE IS FAIR, FRAJL AND FORTY— "SHANKS" O’MELIA BROUGHT THE TWO TOGETHER, AND THE POLICE ARE UNKIND ENOUGH TO. BELJBVB THAT THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY TO GET THE OLD MAN’S MONEY —BUT HE KNEW WHAT HE WAS DOING, AND HE'S MARRIED FAST ENOUGH.
Nathan Getman, of Ephratah, Fulton county, came to this city to have a good time on Thursday night, and according to later developments, he had a particularly lively one.
Yesterday, about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the chief of police was notified that an old man, who had a large sum of money in his possession, and who appeared to be a farmer, was making a fool of himself in “Shanks” O’Melia’s resort, No 40 Madison avenue and the probabilities were that he would be robbed. The chief’s informant told him that “Shanks” had been arranging that the farmer should marry one of the frail women in the house, and buy O’Melia’s saloon, for $1,800, and that O’Melia had sent for a minister to marry the couple, and for a lawyer to consummate the sale of the saloon.
The chief sent Captain Davidson and Detective McCann down to O'Melia's place to investigate the matter. O'Melia at first said he knew nothing about the matter, but afterward recollected that a man from the country had taken a fancy to one of the women in his resort, and had been married to her in the morning. He, was asked where they then were, and he stated that they were out celebrating their marriage with a carriage ride. Captain Davidson did not believe this story, and he and the detective searched the house from attic to basement to ascertain if O'Melia, who is one of the trickest toughs in Albany, had not secreted the two on the approach of the police; but they found nobody answering to the de scription of the persons they were seeking.
The chief was then informed by telephone of the alleged carriage ride, and he detailed Special Officer Curtain and two patrolmen of the second precinct to intercept the carriage on its return to O'Melia's place. They were successful in doing so, stopping it on Green street; and the bride and bridegroom were taken to police headquarters, where they were held under arrest.
The bridegroom was taken into the chief's office and questioned about the matter. He said he did not understand why he had been arrested. He said bis name was Nathan Getman, of Ephratah, and that he was a farmer. He said he had come to Albany on Thursday evening to see the city, and amuse himself. During the evening he had drifted into O'Melia's place, and after having had several drinks, he had been Introduced to a woman in the place, who made herself so agreeable to him that he asked her if she would not marry him, as he had no wife. She said she was perfectly willing to do so, but did not wish to live in the country, and she suggested that he should buy O’Melia’s saloon if he had money enough, and go into business there. He said he had plenty of money, and would think of the project after they were married.
Getman stayed all night in the house and yesterday forenoon between 11 and 12 o'clock, with his consent, a minister was sent for who came to the house in a cab and married them. Getman gave $5 to the minister for tieing the nuptial knot and then he and his bride got gloriously tight together in company with "Shanks," Who had acted as "best man," and two frail women who acted as "bridesmaids."
Afterward- he went carriage riding about the city with his wife, and Mrs. Getman bought for herself two small diamond pins out of $100 which she had got from Getman before the marriage.
When asked if he knew that his wife's character was bad, he declared that he did not care. She had caught his fancy and he was going to take her home with him. If she then behaved herself everything would be all right, but if he did not like the way she acted he would turn her out. And if she did not like the way he treated her, his door was open and she might go in peace.
He said further that he had $320 when he came to Albany on Thursday night, but when his money was counted yesterday afternoon by Chief Willard he had only $100 left.
He seemed to be very much under the influence of liquor, but talked fairly sensibly. He said he was 82 years old. He is tall and broad-shouldered and appears to be robust, though his hair is perfectly white. He was dressed in a suit of grey and wore a new soft felt hat.
While talking with the chief he appeared to feel perfectly at home. He lit a cigar, and, tilting his chair back, placed his feet comfortably on the top of the chief's desk and spoke to him good-humoredly, as to an old friend.
He had a bad bruise about two inches square on his forehead and he accounted for it by stating that he had fallen down stairs while fooling with his wife in O'Melia's.
Minnie Heffernan, the "happy bride." has the reputation of being one of the most disreputable women in the city. She has a very long and bad Police Court record: in fact, she was released from the penitentiary only about two weeks ago. She is 40 years of age, but does not look quite so old, as she retains some of the good looks of her youth. She was drunk when arrested.
The whole affair seems to be plainly a conspiracy between O'Melia, who Is a notoriously bad character, and the woman to get at the old man's money.
“Shanks” has been carefully looked after for a long time by the police authorities, who are '"spoiling" to send him to the penitentiary, but although innumerable charges have been preferred against him he has always managed to wriggle out of them.
Mr. and Mrs. Getman passed the night in adjoining cells in the second precinct station house. Just what the police intend to do about the case does not clearly appear, as the two prisoners are legally married and there seems no question that Getman knew very well what he was doing when he took the woman as his wife. The clergyman who married them felt chagrined and mortified when he learned the intelligence of the case. "I was a tenderfoot and they took me in." he said to an "Express" reporter. "The man had been drinking, but he was not drunk by any means, and was perfectly clear-headed. I questioned them both carefully as to whether there was any reason why they should not be united, and I had no reason to believe that everything was not all right. After all." added the clergyman, "a man who is not too good to associate with that class of women is not too good to marry one of them."- Fulton County Republican, Johnstown, NY, July 11, 1892
The statement is made by a Fort Plain paper that Nathan Getman, the Ephretah farmer who recently married an Albany courtesan named Minnie Heffernan, had already a wife, who is said to be living near Amsterdam. In Albany it is rumored among those who know the Heffernan woman that she already had a husband when she consented to become Mrs. Getman.

Minnie Struck it Rich.
Minnie Heffernan who married Farmer Nathan Getman, of Fulton county, in “Shanks” O’Melia’s dive on Madison avenue recently, is back in her old haunts again. It is said that Getman’s relatives, having learned of bis bride's character, refused to recognize her, and tried to induce turn to break with her. This he refused to do, and took her on a wedding tour as far as Buffalo, where he told her of the objections his family had to receiving her. Minnie was not put out in the least by the intelligence, and informed Getman that she did not want to make trouble for him, and that if he would give her $500 she was willing to leave him. Getman objected to the $500 and the couple lived together until about a week ago, when Getman’s relatives struck a bargain with Minnie for $200, which she took and left her hubby. She has been having a royal time in this city with the $200 for the past few days.

Hiram Allen, an old and highly respected resident of the town of Ephratah, died a t 7 o'clock Sunday evening. He breathed his last on the farm, one mile north from Ephratah village, where he was born about 74 years ago.
Nineteen years ago he was afflicted by a peculiar nerve trouble on his tongue. Eminent physicians were consulted and operations were performed but the trouble gradually increased until life became a burden and his torture was terrible to endure. Several weeks since he also sustained a stroke of paralysis.
He was a very industrious man who possessed an iron constitution, and spent most of his days in farming as long as his health would permit. He was a staunch Republican from the formation of the party and represented the town of Ephratah in the Fulton county board of supervisors considerably more than a quarter of a century ago.
He had been a member of the Methodist church of Ephratah for many years. He was unable to attend the funeral of his daughter, Mrs. Emina Berry, who died in this city April 7th
of the present year. His first wife was Betsey Ann Getman, oldest daughter of the late James Getman of the village of Ephratah. His widow by whom he is survived was formerly Mrs. Melvina Gray, also of Ephratah village.
His sons are James H., Alfred A., Elijah V., and Clark J., the two last named residing at Gloversville, and Alfred A. residing on the old homestead in Ephratah. His daughters are Mrs. Elmira Spencer of Gloversville, and Miss Cora Allen, who resided with her parents on the farm. He also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Ambrose Coolman and Mrs. Daniel Snell, both residing in the town of Ephratah.
The funeral will be held from his late residence at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning. The remains will be buried in the family plot in the village cemetery at Ephratah.
