Death of William Hinebaush.

|
the English Lutheran church at Acct
dent on last Sabbath morning at II
O'Clock, the remains having been con
veyed from Oakland, leaving his late
home about o'clock Sunday morn
ing, and followed by the family and a
large procession of friends which
would have been augmented by many
others but for the gloomy and threat
ening condition of the weather.
The attendance at the funeral was
very large, there being between eight
hundred and one thousand people
present. 1t took the gathering three
quarters of an hour to view the re-
mains, passing in single file in com
pact line.
The Dunkard and German Luther
an denominations held their special
services at an early hour so as to at
tend the funeral.
The floral contributions Were rich
and beautiful beyond description,
consisting of the finest Gala lilies,
white carnations, cream and|,white
roses and buds fashioned into vari-
ETY. of designs. The flowers %wele
contributed by the church council, of
which Mr.. Hinebaugh was faithful
member up to Il short while before
his death, and the Sunday school, of
which he was the efficient superinten-
dent, and the Christian Endeavor
society, of which he was always an
active member, besides a large num-
Der of beautiful designs from his
friends. amongst which was a large
pillow with the name Father" in the
center. with number of other beau
! tiful contributions from friends in
Baltimore who knew Mr.. Hinebaugh
through Mrs. Dir. Hinebaugh, wife of
| Mr.. Hinebaugh's son who nursed his
| father with the most faithful, Safiec-
! tionate and tender care through all
! his illness. and who was assisted by
| his sister Lucinda, who was by her
fathers bedside in his entire sickness.
Mr.. Hinebaugh had an aiTectionate
and devoted family and did not lack
any comfort or attention in their
ability to give him.
The pail bearers were chosen from
amongst Mr. Hnebaugh's friends at
Accident, and we're as follows: Eli
Mcmillan, John l.. Richter, Frederick
kamp, John f. Gnagey, George Ault,
John Englehart and Thomas Turney.
The funeral was preached by Mr..
Hinebaugh's pastor, Rev. }. w. But
Ter, who was with the family by his
bedside when he breathed his last.
After the singing Of Nearer, My
God to Thee" the pastor read from
I Cor. Nv:21-58, and offered prayer,
after which the hymn How Blest the
Righteous when he Dies, was sung.
Then the pastor announced as his
text I Cor Xv:5-1, "Thanks be to God
which giveth US the victory through
our Lord Jesus Christ, " and preached
the sermon, extracts of which follows:
As the basis Of our remarks at this
sad but blessed hOur-sad because
one dear to us all has left us. and
blessed because a spirit has been re-
leased from suffering and has entered
upon its boundless glorv-vour atten-
tion is invited to this. one of the most
triumphant texts of the bible. We
do not propose to dwell especially
upon the truth naturally suggested
bv the text: but to briefly consider
the life and character of the deceased.
and leave before YOU as a sufficient
demonstration of the spirit and vic
tory of this passage of Gods word.
