Aged...56y 3m 12d. His wife...Elmira(Deyo) DuBois (1833-1863)
WILLIAM DuBois of this town died on Sunday, aged 56 years. On Tuesday preceding, while engaged in pressing hay, one of the bales was accidentally pushed against the upper portion of his body with such force as to cause him to raise blood. His health had previously been poor and the accident doubtless hastened his demise. From New Paltz Independent October 14, 1887
