A Former Citizen Dead.
! ANGEL St. John, Esq, many years ago a
prominent citizen Of this place, died at
Plainfeld, on the ist Of April, in the ssrd
year of his age, and his remains were in
tered in the family burial lot in Mount
Hope Cemetery, in this city, sterday.
Mr.. st. John, while resident of this
place, was President of the old New
Hope Delaware Bridge Bank, an institu-
tion which unfortunately failed while un-
der his charge, but with which failure he
had little, if any responsibility. The bills
Of the institution were loaned by the
Board to western concern, which was to
have redeemed them, and rs failure to do
so caused the bank suspension. Mr.. st.
John at the time received, very unjustly, a
great deal of censure for the failure, but
a disclosure of all the facts placed the re-
sponsibility on others. Soon after the
closing of the bank, Mr.. st. John removed
elsewhere, but about seven years ago he
again became resident of our city for
about year, then removing to Plainfleld,
where he continued to reside until the
time of his death.
During his earlier residence here he
took an active part in public affairs, and
showed himself to be man of intellect
