ASA H. WATERS.
The Rev. Asa H. Waters died sudden
| ly at his home, Jumonville, Fayette

| 1903, aged IS years.
Mr.. Waters formerly lived in Butler,
coming here about 1876, and called here
as minister of the First English Luther
an church of this place. The services
of this church were then held in the
| little brick building yet standing on
West North street and now owned by
the Bethany Reformed church We
believe this charge was the first one
| Mr. Waters had as a minister. From
here he went to Prospect, this county,
! and had charge of the Lutheran church
| there While there he was chosen
| Superintendent of county schools, being
| the third one elected in this county
| From here he removed to Fayette Co,
| Pa, about 1861, and became connected
| with the Soldiers Orphan School at
Jumonville, near Uniontown. that
county, where he has died.
To all those here who remember Asa
| Waters the news Of his death came as a
| shock. No man ever lived here who
was more respected. And this for the
| reason, that III the highest and best
| meaning of the words be was a good
| man Pure in life and deed; kind,
generous and forhearing in all things.
! he was highly regarded by all who
his integrity was above question. In
late years he spent his winters in
Florida for benefit of his health His
wife, daughter of the late Rev. Steck
OF Greensburg, Pa. died few years
ago. Mr.. Waters mother was Harris,
a sister of the late Hon. John r. Harris,
| the founder of Harrisyille, this county.
/ This family runs through large con-
nection in this county. The Rev. James
| @ Waters, who was pastor in after
years of the same English Lutheran
church here, was brother of Asa. The
funeral took place in Pittsburg yester-
day, and wherever his remains may lay
all who knew Rev. Asa Fl. Waters will
respect his memory.
John Kennedy, one Of the pioneers OF
Tarentum, and President of the bank
