In the death of Matthias s Appleman,
this community loses one of its oldest and
most highly esteemed citizens. His quiet
unassuming manner prevented him from
becoming conspicuous in public affairs,
while it made him many friends, and gain.
ed for him the respect of all who knew
him. Though not taking an active leading
part in matters Of public interest he was
always ready and willing to follow others,
and with his puise and quiet influence he
encouraged every progressive step in this
town during the past twenty years. He
was the only son of Philip and Margaret
Appleman who were among the early set
tiers of this county from New Jersey, and
was born on the homestead in Hcmlock
township, on September 9th, 1912, and re-,
sided there until 1865, when he moved to
Bloomsbury. He married Lydia Billig,
January 9th, 1S45, whose remains he fol.
lowed to the grave about four months ago.
He leaves three daughters, viz Mrs. A.
z. Shoch and Mrs. ID. j, Waller, Jr, of
this town. Mrs. G. Unangst of New York /;
and one son, L. z. Appleman, Esq.
The funeral took place on Wednesday
afternoon from the residence, the services
being conducted by Rev. f. Manhart as.
sisted by Revs. D. ]. Waller, Sr., and s.
Mitchell. A large concourse of relatives
and friends were in attendance.

The Independent says there is but one square

know that there is one paper in the county
that has backbone enough to stand up for

the Gospel trumpet, blow on until Gabriel
blows his horn, and don't have the words
ringing in your ears "Woe is to me, if
preach not the Gospel of Christ" These
