Again has death, the great reaper, visited
our community, and another Of our old,
we'll known and highly respected citizen
has been called away. In our notes Of last
week we mentioned that Captain Edward
H. Eastlack had been stricken with apo
plexy on Thursday, April 26sh. He lin
gered until Friday, May 4th, when death
released him from his sufferings. He was
q native Of Gloucester county; was born
near Woodbury., and for the last thirty-ive
years had resided in Swedesboro. He was
a soldier in the war Of the Rebellion, a
sergeant of Co. G, 9th New Jersey Vols
He, together with the other survivors Of
his regiment, went to New Berne, N. c., to
take part on May Is, 1905, in the dedica-
tion of the monument erected by the State
OF New Jersey to the memory Of the gal
liant 9th, who lost their lives in the battle
at that place. Mr.. Eastlack greatly enjoy
ed the trip and the reunion with old COM
rades and often spoke Of it as one of the
most enjoyable experiences OF his life. After
his return from the army he settled down
to the peaceful aYoeations of life, and for
many years was captain Of boats plying on
the Delaware river. He was a man Of a
nappy, geHlaI Qlsp0SiblOn, man WHO gath-
cred around him host of friends whose
society he greatly priced. He was kind and
generous to the poor and distressed, and
his place in the community will be hard to
fill. He leayes wife, three sons, William,
Clayton and George Eastlack, and one
daughter, Lille, wife of John Gibson, be-
sides several grandchildren and numerous
other relatives, to whom, and especially to
the members Of the immediate family,
the sympathies Of friends go out IN their
great loss. His funeral took place Monday
morning at his late home with services con-
Quoted by Rev. Peter Provost, and inter-
ment was made in Lake Park cemetery.
His age was 66 years.
