TWO FUNERALS.

-
Mr.. and Mrs. Rockwell Bartholomew
Two funerals have recently occurred in
Westville under very peculiar circum-
stances. Last Sunday Mr. Rockwell Bsrth-
olomew died, sged eighty eight years, his
wife, but two years younger, being too ill
at the time to realize what had taken
place. Owing to the critical illness of
Mrs. Bartholomew the funeral services of
her husband were held in the WestvilIe
Congregational church. When the friends
gathered on Tuesday to attend these GER
vices they learned that the wife had but q
short time before also entered into rest.
Yesterday the same friends again met, this
time to attend the funeral Of Mrs. Bartho-
lomew at her late home on Alden street.
The aged couple were members of the
First Baptist church of this city, and at
both funerals the Rev. Mr.. Mason of that
church and the Rev. Mr.. Willard of West
Vile offciated. The services were pecu-
liarly impressive, the remarks of both
olerRymen tending to emphasize the incon =
sistency in the common first thought, show
sad!" Release from physical pain, of which
each had endured large share, from anxl-
ETY. for each others welfare, from the pain
and loneliness of earthly separation, the
happiness of extended and expanded life,
the joyful surprise In the knowledge that
their greeting might be GOOD morning
rather than GOOD night" were come of
the thoughts offered by the reverend gen.
tlemen as reasons for their use of the words
''glad, Thankful" "happy," rather than
| words of more sombre tone.
The late Mr.. and Mrs. Bartholomew each
belonged to long-lived families. Mr.. Bar
tholomew's mother died only few years
ago at the exceptional age of ninety -nine
years. Mrs. Bartholomew was one of six
sisters whose average age is 76l years.
Two Of these survive her, one, the mother
/ of Mr.. Dennis Umberfield, the Chapel
street merchant, having recently celebrated
the ninety. first anniversary of her birth
