an extended notice of the recent death
of Jacob Halman and William Du-
hurst, from which we clip. the follow
ing:
"Jacob Hallman, the oldest citizen
of Smyrna Landing died at his resi-
dence there on Thursday morning last,
after few hours illness. He was in
his usual health when he went to bed
the night before. He was Pennsyl-
vanian by birth and education and came
to this section little over thirty years
ago to take charge of the lime kilDs at
the ins ance of Col. Geo. w. Cummins,
the proprietor The kilns have been in
disuse for a number of years as bur
ners of stone lime, but Mr.. Hallnan in
the meantime became identified in in
terest with our people and remained on
property no had acquired to the time
of his death. Hi, wife and several
children, all married, survive him.
In the death of William Duhurst,
which occurred on Sunday, Geo w. &
s. Taylor lose an excellent mechanic
the head of their moulding department
and the town a good citizen. He was
born and raised in England, but CANT
to this country, stopping first in Yer
mont, hut finally settled in West Ches.
ter, Pa, from whence he came to this
town ten years ago He was sick but
u 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 synp.
toms set in. He wasa capable mechan-
ic, industrious, honest and reliable, II
is said of him that he never told lie
or swore an oath in his life.
