On Friday the 18th inst at Ashland. DIR. Bum
KELLOGG, aged 50 years.
Thus another of the esrIy settlers of our Town
has passed away. The Doctor made his advent in
to our Town some 40 years age, aud, as ne ha S Of
ten remarked. with but o shilling in his pocket
! After remain ing here a number of years. he took
up the study of Medicine and attended several
cour .es of medical lectures at Worthing ton Ohio.
After that he resided a short limo in Cleveland.
bul settled down in Ashland as q physician about
30 years ago. From that time until the present he
J has continued the even tenor of his way, partly
engaged in the mercantile business, but mainly
pursuing Ills profession, which he conducted sue
cessfully and probably. lie was ed for
promptness and f~aithfulne ss in his engagements
and by his diligence secured a well earned comps-
tency for his family. lie enjoyed the esteem and
confidence of a large circle of fri ends and ac-
quaintances. He had been afflicted and prostra-
ted on q bed of sickness for year past, but suffer
ed but little during the last week of his illness.
and his life passed away as into The repose o. a
deep sleep. His funeral was very larg, ly at
tended.
At his residence in Orange townsI ip. on satur-
day, evening, 18th inst. of inflammation of the
bowels, GPeritonif;s, Ar. WILLIAM MCDOWELL,
aged 65 years.
Thus has passed away, after a painful illness of
only three days, whicfsb be bore with characteristic
one of the oldest and most valued citi-
zens of our county, Evidences of pulmonary
disease. which appeared during the last year or
two. a1m0niSheu.H Hill tnaC MS TIME on eafth would
be brief; but the grim messenger came in a
different form, and summoned him more speedily
than either himself or friends had ant cipated-
Mr.. Mcdowell had been a resident of Orang
township within a few months of forty years
having purchased the land upon which he died in
November 1928. 1t may with truth be said that
in all his intercourse with neighbors during this
long period, tho charge of a want of integrity was
never made against him; and, although a man of
positive character and nfexible principles, whe
would stand up for the truth in the face of the
whole world, no one can say that he ever received
from him a wanton or unprovokcd wrong. Pos
sessing a strong mind in a strong body-generous,
brave and true in all his relations with m .nkind-
he would. had he enjoyed in his youth the advan-
tages offered the young men in later times, have
been capable of adjoining almost any public posi-
ton. as he did every social place in life.
The immense concourse. of friends from Orange
and adjacent townships who gather.d TO pay their
last respects t. his remains on Sunday afternoon,
afforded evidence of the high esteem in which ne
vas held by the whole community. T. his i'm re
diate family, his loss is the gre test affection that
has ever been visited upon them. May God, who
tempers the wind to the sho,n lamb, sustain them
in their bereav ment.
His funeral sermon wi l be preached by Rev. w.
A. G. Emers n. on Sunday. August 9. at the Meth
odist Church in Orange. Service TO commence at
ten o'clock, A. NJ. -4ae
