all our people in this, their hour of trial and
bereavement.
Died, in this village, on Sunday, March
18th, inst, S. Tallmadge Conway. The death
of Mr.. Conway, occurring as it did, suddenly
the whole community. he was in bis APP
parent usual good health, and during the day
had been feeling unusually well. About ten
o'clock in the evening he was taken with
fainting SPELL from which he revived in IA
few minutes, sufficiently to walk up stairs
with the assistance of his wife, but fell 10 the
floor before reaching his room. He was
placed upon his bed, but Notwithstanding all
the assistance that could be rendered him by
loving hearts and willing hands, he passed
away in about an hour after he was stricken.
His funeral was held at his residence on
Wednesday last, and was attended 10y large
number of his neighbors and friends. He
was a man who was, perhaps, as well known
in this county rs any one within its borders.
He had been prominent among Us for nearly
forty years. In 1913 be was elected by his
fellow citizens to the responsible position of
County Clerk, which Office he held for four
years. For long period of time during and
subsequent to the war, he was Deputy
Assessor of Internal Revenue in this district.
For many years he was prominently identi-

county, and as the editor and publisher of
this paper he aided very materially in mold

and in assisting 1t TO win its unbroken series
of victories, from 1854 until the present time.
At the time of his death, though a resident
of this town, he was engaged in business as
a merchant in our neighboring village of
Lawrence. But few men would be missed

Our citizens will all unite with tho bereavod
relatives in mourning his loss. Though O
man well advanced in years, being about 65
years of age, he was remarkably we'll pre-
served, and on the day of his death might
reasonably have looked forward to many
years of life. Sc ., sic postum cGatt dds
