DEATH OF Or. J. r. GETZENDANSER.-
This community sustained a painful shock
last Sunday morning in the announcement
that Dr. Joseph T. Getzendanncr was no
more. He had been i'll since Wednesday
preceding until Friday without serious
manifestations. On the latter day he had
regaincd himself sufficiently to go on tie
porch, but oh Saturday the symptoms be
came sufficiently alarming to induce the
family to summon all the medical aid at I'M
mediate command He was beyond human
help, however, and grew worse from hour
to hour until 10 O'Clock the following morn
ing when lie died.
From many reports elected by the sad oc-
currcucc it is evident the doctor had for
some time entertained premonltlons ofdea'h
, The pain in his head was OF IL character
so acute that it drew frequent mention from
him accompanied with suggestions then
impertectly but now fully understood.
/ Notwithstanding, he toiIcd on though the
alduous lahors of Ills Observation-Disclosures
sun md rain-hceling the admonitions OF
duty to the sick at the expense OF his own
health This prompt, persistent, courage
Gus spirit was lis habit and he illustrated
it with untirius industry to the last.
| As Il physician he stood higl, in the
profession and enjoyed tie lon55 and I'M
bounded confidence OF an extended prur,'Nf.
He was an old and Lonorcd attendant in
many families who feel with lis household
/ that dear friend is gone.
DIR. Grtzcndanncr was Of that "highcst
type OF manEood'-a Christian. As Il
prominent member of tic NJ. L. Church, lC
was always at his post wien duty and
health permitted. He held tie responsible
positions OF steward and Sunday School Su-
pcriniendcnt. in both Of which he WIS the
faithful and Jealous servant of the Master.
No man that knew him justly doubts the
sincerity of Il picly which he carried be
yond the confines of church duties, even To
the beds of the sick and dying.
In the famIy he was a kind husband and
indulgent father. The numerous instances
of devotion as set forth in his constant care
for both the temporal and spiritual welfare
of the household, are now the ''prcclous
memories of his wife and children.
But his death is not regarded merely as
personal bereavement; it is felt as pub
lie calamity. He was one of our best citi-
Zcns. Few men have lived among us who
have been so blamclcSs in life or so lament
ed in death, and by all of hose who knew
him best fewer men have been so largely res
pcctcd. Within the scope of his professions
he carried the efficient agencies of skill and
carncstness with these combined and con
stautly cXcrtcd, who knows what activities
have been saved ard multiplied to the ben-
eft of this community? and who can meas
urc the extent of loss like this ?
Dr. Gctzeudauucr was born near Rock
vile, Montgomery county, Md, on The 4th
day of May, 1917, and was therefore 5S
years, mouths and 70 days old. He be

where he graduated He came 10 Frost
burg about the year 1910, and has since pun
sued his profession with great perseverance
aud success He was thrice married. by
