The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1878-04-17

Ill DcCcllDcl, 100, at
H~arnedsville, Somerset Co., died Capt.
John Morrow. Captain Morrow was born
in Washington county, and learned the
saddler trade in the city OF Pittsburgh.
He was in General JacksOn's army as a
soldier, at New Orleans, on the ever
memorable Sth of January. 1915. where
the victory gained by the Americans over
the British was unparalleled in our histo-
ry.
In 1920 Captain Morrow came to SOM
erset, and from that time to the day of
his death, resided within the limits of the
county. lie was universally respected as
a man of high integrity throughout the
course Of a long life. and descended to the
tomb at the ripe old age of 81 years.
.'when the weak hand gaows palsied,
And theeye becomes dim with the mist OF age,
Then It's time TO die"
In the month of February, 1871, Major
John w. Lynn, after a lingering illness.
departed this life a. The town OF Coniiu-
ence, Somerset county, in the seventy
sixth year of his age.
Major Lynn was born in the town of
Somerset, and was endowed by nature
with q vigorous and active mind. In 1924.
he was a law student under Captain
Rogers, of Fayette county; but the un.
timely death of Captain Rogers, at
Brownsville, on the reception of General
Lafayette, by the bursting OF a cannon,
deprived him of his preceptor and put an
end TO his legal studies. Had he pursued
the study OF the law, and come to the
Ban, there is but little doubt in the minds
OF those that knew him well that his Ca
reer as a lawyer would have been brill
liant.
After leaving Somerset, he resided a
number of years in the town OF Smith
field in this county, and moved from
thence TO Cumberland. Maryland. For a
few years before his death he resided in
Confluence. He left q widow and many
friends to mourn his departure. He met
the grim Messenger
Like one who folds the drapcry OF lis couch
about him,
And lies down TO pleasant dreams"
With unfeigned sorrow We nnoun
The death Of John Neff, Esq. which took
place on the Goth day OF March. 1878,
aged seventy-two years, and twelve days.
Squire Neff was born in Somerset on
the l4th day of March. 1906, and during
the years of his manhood occupied a prom
inent position among the business men of
the town. In 1880 he was appointed
by Governor Wolf. a Justice of the
Peace. which office he held TO the salts
faction of the people until 1910, at which
time he was elected TO the same office for
the term OF five years, under the amend
ed constitution of 1888. This shews the
estimation OF his immediate ~neighbors at
that time, as the political complexion of
Somerset was largely against him.
lie was the prominent Contractor in the
building OF the Somerset & Mineral Point
Railroad. and one of the few stockhold-
ers who subscribed a thousand dollars for
the making OF that valuable improvement.
He was an enterprising and energetic
business man. a good neighbor and a
warm friend. To his W family and rel
atives bis death is an irrcparable loss.
