DEATH OF MARTIN j. EICHELBERGER. -
On Wednesday night OF last week Our old
friend and occasional correspondent died at
his home near Rocky Ridge after protracted
illness of Brights disease and heart affection.
MIR, Eichelberger was widely and favorably
known. He was a most conpanionable man
and at his home one always met the most
charming hospitality. For many years he
provided an occasional letter for THE CLAIR

Personally we were warm friends and we

hoped to hear from him again as of yore,
having no thought of the seriousness of his
affection
The deceased was member of the Lu'h-
eran church and an ardent republican in
