DEATH OF
s. N. TRUMBOWE

Our citizens Sunday eve were pain
ed to learn of the death of our towns
man, Samuel NJ. Trumbower, who
passed away at 8 :45 O'Clock. Mr..
Trumbower's demise removes one OF
our most honored and public spirited
citizens, one who entered largely in
to the life of the community, who was
closely identified with our industrial
enterprises and the towns progress
and development.
Mr.. Trumbower was afflicted with
heart disease. His last illness set In
on October 3rd and was of just two
months duration. During this time
he was frequently very low; during
the last week or more especially hope
was practically abandoned, so that
when the news of his demise flashed
through town Sunday it caused but
little surprise.
The deceased was 63 years of age.
He was born in Berks county. but
along with his parents removed to
Montour county when a mere child.
The family settled in Valley township
and there the deceased speut the early
years of his life. Coming to Danville
when a young man he learned his
trade-that of carpenter with the late
Joseph Diehl. In 1882 he formed a
partnership with Samuel Werkheiser
and from that time until his death
under the firm name of Trumbower
and Werkheiser he was engaged in the
business of contracting and building.
He was one of the directors of the
Peoples Bank, also director Of the
Welliver Hardware Company. He was
a consistent member of the Mahoning
Presbyterian church and had been a
trustee for twenty years. He was
formerly member Of the Borough
Council and of the School Board. He
belonged to Montour Lodge, No. 1903,
l. o. D. F., and of Mnemoloton Eu-
oampment No. 140. The distinguish
ing traits of the deceased were gener-
osty, courtesy and kindness. He was
never too busy to speak kind word
or to indulge in little pleasantly.
which somehow helped to make the
burdens of life seem lighter to those
who met him.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and three ohildren-Frank V. Trum-
bower and Mrs. D. L. Smith, OF Wilkes
Barre, and Mrs. Ralph Foulk Of Dan
willie. Three brothers and two sisters
