thousands.

Death of Harold Knapp.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. M. Knapp have the
deep synyathv OF the community in the
death OF Master Harold Knapp who,
after noble little life of thirteen sum-
mers, passed quietly from suffering on
Saturday last, and was laid away in
Gods lair earth on the following Mon
day. The lad was so beautiful a spirit,
so gentle and refined, and, withal, so
strong and earnest, that he drew to him
self the love and esteem of the entire vii
lage, making an impression rare in oneso
young. In the fidelity of his heart and
hand he was indeed, "a little helper" in
the home lite; but in the influence OF his
remembered character he will be helpful
in a larger circle. He was thoughtful
above his years. responsive to all higher
influences, and eager, without unhealth-
ful forcing of the religious impulses, to
do as Christ would have done.
There were beautiful floral tributes
from the school and the Junior Endeavor
Society, as well as from older hands, and
as his mates followed his body to the
grave, and flung flowers upon his dust,
the scene was touching in the extreme.
The singing was by a boy quartette.
young men, followed BY the family and
immediate relatives, the children OF the
school, and the many friends and neigh
bors. AS the funeral cortege wound
along the country road, with the floral
offerings carried at intervals in the pro.
cesson by kindly hands, the ceremony
was significant of lille, rather than of
death, for we were in attendance upon
one who had overcome and was about
to enter the glad gates of the eternal
city.
Miss Charlotte Morrill, has returned to
Brooklyn.
Mrs. Joel Wood has been spending
several days at her old home in Abbotts
Corner, P. 9, and attending the one
