OBITUARY.


Ex-Sheriff CHARLES s. KNIsELL died at
the home of his son-in-law, Charles G. Jes-
sup, on Cooper street, at $50 o'clock last
Sunday morning, of Bright's disease, in the
sixty eighth year of his age.
Probably no man of his generation had
wider acquaintance in this county than
MI Knisell. Born in Swedesboro, he passed
his youth and first years of his business
life there; was sheriff of the county
from 1864 to 1867, since which time he has
resided in Woodbury., conducting success
full mercantile business from 1867 to 1887,
when he sold his property to the organizers
of the Farmers and Mechanics bank and
retired from mercantile life. For many
yeas he was one of the city's representa-
tives in the Board of Chosen Freeholders.
After retiring from the mercantile business
he was elected Secretary of the State Sink
ing Fund Commission, and held the posi-
ton until the Commission was merged into
the State Treasurers department, and from
'68 to go he was county collector. In
every walk of life he was a true man-as a
public official, or business man and as
citizen and husband and father. In his
intercourse with men as in his home, he
was of a genial, sunny disposition, and
even the clouds of the illness which proved
his last, failed to obscure or dim the bright
sunshine which eyer shone in his life. As
late as the Wednesday before his death he
was on the street, genial and pleasant as
when in full health. He leaves a wife,
one daughter, Mrs. Chas. G. Jessup, and
two sons, William, of Denver, Colorado,
and Sidney L., of Atlantic City. His
funeral was held this morning, interment
being at Eglington.
JOHN BLAKE, proprietor of the old Pole
Tavern Hotel, formerly a resident of this
county, died last Friday, aged only 40 yrs,
after one weeks illness, of Brights disease.
Mr.. Blake was nephew of Dennis and
Andrew Blake near Woodbury., and leaves
a wife and three children. He was buried
on Monday last.
