JACOB MAILMAN, the oldest citizen
OfSmyrna Landing died at his residence
there on Thursday morning last, after
q few hours illness. He was in his
usual health when he went to bed the
night before. He was Pennsylvania
by birth and education and came to
this section little over thirty years
ago to take charge of the lime kilns at
the instance of Col. Geo. w. Cummins,
the proprietor. The kilns have been in
disuse for number of years as burners
Of stone lime, but Mr.. Hallman in the
mean time became identified in interest
with our people and remained on pro-
perty he had acquired, to the time of
his death. His wife and several chill
dren, all married, survive him. His
life was one of simple faith and unques-
tionable christian department. During
the Miller excitement about forty years
ago he was one of the thousands that
espOused the new doctrine and he re-
maineda firm Adventist to the day of his
death, His isolation of faith, may have
had much to do in forming a quiet and
restricted life. There was no question
of his sincerity or his singleness of pur-
pose in living up to the doctrines of the
bible as he understood them, and he
was a man that read and thought a
good deal. His wife during the time
has attended strictly on the services of
the NJ. f. Church.
WILLIAM DUHURsT.
In the death of William Duhurst.
which occurred ON Sunday, Geo. w. &
- TNoxylnf. Lace
the head of their moulding department
and the town a good citizen. He
was born and raised in England, but
came to this country, stopping first in
Vermont, but finally settled in West
Chester, Pa, from whence he came to
this town ten years ago. He was sick
but a week and died almost before his
friends knew he was i'll. He was taken
with bilious fever, but with no serious
apprehension until pneumonia symp-
toms set in. He was capable me-
chanic, industrious, honest and reli-
able. The most of his spare time was
spent in reading, and but few of our citi.
zens kept better booked up in the daily
and local news to be obtained from the
newspapers. He was great admireI
of John Bright, ERgland's liberal states
man, and an ardent friend of radical
republican institutions. The occult
sciences, such as astrology, also claimed
his attention to certain degree. 1t is
said of him that he never told lie OF
swore an oath in his life. He was an
occasional attendant and contributor
to the Presbyterian Church, but not {
member. Mr.. DnhuFst married Mrs
ColnOr about eight years ago, then {
widow for the third time, both having
children grown, living here and else
where. His remains will be con
veyed to West Chester tomorrow
morning for interment.
