Ever Busy Death.

west, Washington, D. c., last Satur-
day afternoon about 8 o'clock after
an illness of less than an hour, in the
forty-third year of his age. Mr.. Hal
deman ate his dinner and then took a
walk about the neighborhood. Soon
after returning home he complained
of severe pain in his stomach, which
growing worse, a physician was sent
for, who pronounced it a case of acute
indigestion. Remedies were admins
tered, but to no effect, and heart fail
ure supervening, Mr.. Haldeman died
as stated. Mr.. Haldeman was born
in Martinsburg, and was son of the
late Joseph Haldenan, a prominent
lawyer of that place. About 1880 he
conducted a jewelry establishment in
Shepherdstown, where he had many
friends who will read of his death
with sincere regret, but for the last
twenty years has been in the real es-
tate business in Washington. Mr.
Haldeman leaves widow but no
children. His funeral took place
Wednesday afternoon from his late
home. The body was placed in a
vault temporarily, but will probably
be taken to Martinsbufg later for in
terment beside those of his father and
mother. "Channing," as he was
known to his friends, was a whole
souled, big-hearted man, and will long
be remembered for his many charit-
able acts by those who know him
best. Peace to his ashes.
1t is with much sorrow that we re-
cord the double affection which
has befallen the home of Mr.. A. P.
Reinhart, near Shepherdstown. On
June 9th the mother of the home fell
asleep in death and last Sunday after
noon a son fell victim to the grim
reaper. About three weeks ago Harry
Reinhart came home from Pittsburg,
Pa, sick with typhoid fever. He
grew suddenly worse and at the time
of his mothers death he was so i'll that
he was not told oft and he, too, passed
away without the knowledge of his
mother so recently preceding him to
the spirit world Harry was quiet,
industrious, kind-hearted young man
aid had many friends, who mourn his
death. He was about 90 years old.
The funeral took place Tuesday from
his late home, conducted by Revs.
Max Lentz and J. c. Thrasher. In
terment in Elmwood Cemetery. We
sympathize most deeply with the be-
reaved father, sisters and brothers
who are crushed with grief.
