JOHN l. wEsrBRooK.

The news of the death of this
highly respected and well known
gentleman occasioned surprise and
sorrow in our community Tuesday
morning, as it was known he had
been in his usual health on Monday,
and it seemed difficult to believe
that the death angel had SO suddenly
spread his wings and enveloped the
form of one who for years beyond
the recollection of nearly all here
has been so familiar to the people Of
this valley. His long and honored
life was suddenly, and without the
slightest premonition, ended Mon
day evening, after a day spent in
his usual business avocation. He
had left his store and crossed the
street to make some trifling purchase
and while being served sat down. A
bystander noticed a change in his
countenance and went to his aid.
Medical assistance was summoned
but the spirit had instantly flown
across the dark waters, beyond hu-
man recall. Mr.. Westbrook was
the son Of Jacob and Hannah( VAN
Auken) Westbrook and was born in
Westfall township this county, May
IL, 1917. The house in which he
was born stood on the elevation near
che iron bridge crossing the stream
at Rosetown, and was long ago torn
down While he was yet very
young, his parents removed to Della
ware township, and there the years
of his youth and early manhood
were passed and his education OBJ
tanned. In 1850 he married CIarissa
a sister of Wade Buckley of Port
Jervis. She dying in 1852. he was
in 1855 united in marriage to Mrs
Hortense Pinchot stoll the widow oi
George stoll of Montague N. j.. ant
soon after moved to Port Jervis an
began his long, successful and hon
ored career as business man. H'
was probably the Oldest merchant il
business in that town. He held soy

eral positions of honor and trust
having been at one time a village
trustee and also an official in the
Savings Bank. He was an Elder in
the Reformed church, and for many
years Superintendent of the Sabbath
school.
In his walks through life he was
a consistent and upright Christian
and these principles actuated and
controlled his intercourse and deal
ings with his follow men. Where
this can be truly said of any man, as
it may of him, no other words are
needed as sufficient enlogy of
character, A good man is gone,
and the community is left an ex-
ample which will remain a shining
light to higher and noble life.
Mr. Westbrook is survived by his
widow and son Albert, and one
brother, Lyman of Port Jervis. His
funeral took place from his late re-
sidence yesterday afternoon. Rev.
t. H. Mckenzie officiating.

The Press was IN error last week
in announcing that a vote would be
taken May on the question of
levying a tax for thepurpose Of pay
ing for electric lights" The notice
by the constable says it is for the
purpose of enabling the voters Of
said Borough to decide whether they
are for or against the lighting of
said Borough by electricity. Thig
is a harmless, if somewhat expen-
sive, method of determining a ques-
ton which could just as legally be
decided at a public meeting, but
then the boys would not have had
the fun Of an election, and there is a
lots Of that in it for them. Maybe
fun for taxpayers who pay the bills,

Word has just reached relatives
here of the death of May Hoagland

occurred at her home last Monday.
She was formerly a frequent visitor
at Milford, and her sweet face and
winsome manner will be recalled
with sadness by many of our younger
people. She was married last Octob-
or and with happy home and de-
voted husband life seemed to open a
long vista of joy and usefulness.
That fell destroyer consumption
however had laid an icy grasp on
her young life and would not be
shaken off. A trip to Europe proved
unavailing, the. hand pressed heavier
until it brought sorrow and desola-
tion to her mourning household.
She was the only surviving child of
John w. Hurd, of Dover, N j., and
was neice of Mrs. Geo. e. Horton
of this place. Funeral services were
held at her late home Wednesday
