Death OF Danieg EF. vvyckoG.

Mr.. DANIEL II. WYCKoFF, of this place
died from the effects of a cancer on the eye,
last Sunday morning about O. clock. This
cancer began to manifest itself Il bout twenty or
possibly as early as twenty five years ago. He
consulted some OF our best surgeons with re-
gard to the possibility of cure by the knife,
but none Of them gave him any incourage-
ment. He finally accepted the services of a
cancer Doctor living somewhere in the wes-
tern part of New York State, who by caustic
applications removed the fungus growth OF
flesh protruding from the corner Of his eye
on two different occasions. But this at most
only temporarily arrested the progress Of his
terribly fatal disease, while it gave the suf-
ferer only Pickering hope.
He attended to his ordinary avocation,
doing more than an ordinary mans work,
until about a year ago, since which time he
only worked as he felt lkeit. About twenty
days ago he took to his bed and kept it
almost steadily until DEATH Ike a minester-
ing agel, came to his couch on last Sabbath
morning and set his captive spirit free,
Mr.. Wyckof was born in Morris county,
n. j., but came to this place in bis early
manhood, about 24 years ago. During all
this time he has been engaged in the huck-
steriug business either as assistant Or pr.nci-
pal. And perhaps there was not another
man in the county more thoroughly known
than he was, ana we doubt if a single man
could be found to question his personal
honesty or christian sincerity. About twenty
years ago he was converted and connected
himself with the NJ L. Church Of this place,
aud since then has been a most constant
earnest and efficient worker in the vine yarc
Of his Master, even praiaing and glorifying
Him with his latest breath.
The funeral sermon was preached to al
exceedingly large congregation by the Rev
John f. Chaplain the former pastor Of The
VI. Il. Church, Of this place. whom Mr.
Wyckof requested, before he left this charge
to perform that service over his remains
