REV. JOSEPH P. TUSTIN.

After an illness of several months,
Rev. J. p. Tustin passed peacefully
away on Easter Sunday morning at 4
o'clock. He was born January 2s,
1890, in Philadelphia and was one of
ten children. He was educated at
Lewisburg University, and entered
the ministry of the Baptist Church.
He was employed in the old Northum-
berland Bank, and moved from there
to Bloomsburg in March 1864 resign
ing the Office of Asst. Cashier to as
sumo the position of Cashier of the
First NationalBank, tits organization.
He held that position up to the time
of his death, and through his careful
and judici Gus management it has be-
come one of the most solid financial
institutions in this section. For many
years he was pastor of the Baptist
church, and subsequently supplied the
pulpit when there was no pastor. He
also had charge of the Baptist church
in Jackson township for several years
and held services at Brier Creek and
Madison. He was quiet unassum-
ing man, and most devout follower
of the Lord, and an earnest worker in
every movement that was calculated to
improve the morals and elevate the
religious sentiment of the community.
He was trustee of the Lewisburg
University.
The widow survives him, and also
the following children.
Mary Tustin, clerk in the First
National Bank, George M. Tustin,
Cashier of the Catawissa National
Bank, Mrs. Robert r. Little, A. Lin
coin Tustin, assistant in the Catawissa
Bank, Ruth, Edward B, Teller in the
bank, and Paul who is student at
Yale Divinity School preparing for the
Baptist ministry.
The funeral was held at the house
at half past one on Wednesday, and
the services were conducted by Rev.
G.. M. Weeks assisted by all the clergy
men of the town. There were also
present and participating, Rev. DR..
Harris, President Of Bucknell Univers-
ity, Rev. Mr.. Monroe of White Hall,
and Rev. Mr.. Crawford of Hughes
vile. AS mark of respect to the
deceased all places of business
were closed during the funer-
al, and the attendance was large. In
his death the bank has lost a valued
officer, the church has lost one of its
principal mainstays, and the commu
nifty one of its best and most highly
respected citizens. The bereaved
family have the heartfelt sympathy of
all.
At meeting of the Board of Dir
ectors of the First National Bank
at 9 o'clock a. m. on April 18th, the
following resolutions were adopted
Whereas, it has pleased the creator
and father of us all, to remove from
among us, our esteemed friend and
Co-worker, Mr.. Joseph p. Tustin,
whose death we greatly deplore
Therefore, be it Resolved, that in his
death this institution sustains a great
loss ; the church a loyal and loving
supporter the community wise and
worthy citizen the home dear hus-
band and kind father:
Resolved, that we hereby extend to
the bereaved family and friends, our
sincere sympathy in their sad afflct-
ion:
Resolved, further, that copy of
these resolutions be sent to the family
