lRAD.SANKEYDEAD
FAMOUS SINGING EvANoELIsT
PASSES AWAY IN BROOK
LYN, N. Y.
WROTE MANY GOSPEL HYMNS
His Songs said to Have Had a Cir
culatlon Of More Than 3d.
100000 coples-Was
SO Years Old.

New York, Aug. 15.-Ira D. Sankey,
known as an evangelist throughout
the Christian world, died Thursday
night at his home In Brooklyn, but
the news OF his passing did not be-
come generally known until Friday.
Mr.. Sankey was 68 years old. For
the last five years he had been blind
and had suffered from complication
Of diseases brought on by overwork.
But almost to the very last he worked
1t hymn writing. His tours through
1ut this country and Europe with
Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist,
brought him into wide prominence.
Sankey, 1t might be said, wrote the
ospel hymns Of the world. In China,
Egypt, India, Japan, in almost every
language known to men, Sankey's
hymns are sung. He received a large
income from his publications and
caves considerable of an estate.
Among Mr.. Sankey's most familiar
are "The Ninety and
Nine" and when the Mists Have
Rolled Away" His songs are said to
rave had a circulation OF more than
100000 copies.
He was a rapid composer and wrote
book after book Of gospel hymns.
During the last five or six years Of
lis life he was interested in pre-
airing and publishing the story of the
ospel hymns. At the same time he
saved his wonderful voice for pos
Gritty by singing into monographs.
The records were sent all over the
,orld. Sankey first met Moody at a
Z. M. c., A. convention In Indianapo-
"a. Moody was so charmed with the
Dung mans voice that he urged him
o accompany him on his evangelistlc
ours. Sankey explained that he was
carried and could not give up his po
ition.
"You must come" said Moody, Il
'annot get along without YOU"
sankey consulted his wife and they
EAST in their lot with Mr.. Moody.
They visited Great Britain from 1873
10 1875 and again in 1883, and made
many tours throughout the United
States. When Mr.. Moody died, Mr..
Sankey felt keenly the loss Of his
friend From that time he tried to
conduct the work alone which they
had hitherto shared between them, but
The task was to great. In 1902 his
physical condition compelled him to
give up most Of his evangelical en-
although he continued for
some time to compile new series OF
hymn books. Then came falling eye
sight, which speedily developed into
.otal blindness With the blindness
came also a nervous breakdown. Az
Ter his retirement from public life the
Impression became general throughout
he country that he was dead.
Mr.. Sankey lived in Brooklyn for
n years, and It was there that most
u his songs were written. He was a
singer from boyhod, and his voice at
iracted attention in the hamlet Of
Edinburgh, Pa, where he was born
August 2S, 1910. At the beginning Of
his active life Mr.. Sankey was a
but for the last seven years
he had been a Presbyterian, He is
by widow, Fannie v. San
key, his two sons, /. Allen Sankey,
and Edward Sankey, and two grand
children.

Cemetery Deposits.

There are to be two or more arti-
Giles in the warrant for the coming
town meeting, all of which call at
tention to the matter of funds placed
in the hands of the town, known as
"Cemetery Deposits"
Section IA, chapter 20, of the Re-
vised Statutes provides that itowns,
after suitably qualifying, may receive
requests or gifts and devote the
income to the care of burial lots and
cemeteries upon such terms as are
prescribed by the will or deed of
gift. This law became effective in
1892 and since that time Skowhegan
has become the trustee for $4,000 in
funds of this nature. The original
intention of the law was to have the
amounts so received by towns, in
vested in a permanent fund and
something like $3.50 of the first sums
received were so invested. The sub
sequent funds have been used by the
town, and an amount equal to three
per cent per year has been devoted
to care of the cemetery lots as de-
signated.
To more fully carry out the letter
of the original law it is now proposed
to have the town legally constituted
trustee for the purpose of receiving
cemetery deposits and to have the
entire fund invested in income bear
ing securities.

The above brings forcibly TO mind
the fact that the Skowhegan ceme
teries are cared for in a most unsys
tematic manner and that the general
result is far from creditable to our
town. The sums accruing from the
Cemetery Deposits above mentioned
as we'll as that expended by indi-
viduals, are devoted to the care of
separate lots, with no general plan
for the care of the cemetery as a
whole. The result is that some lots
are always neat and orderly, while
others receive attention at irregular
periods and still others are entirely
neglected. In any event the UNI
assigned lots, with the driveways
and walks, upon which the general
beauty of the cemeteries depends
to a great degree, are never suitably
cared for.
AS matter of sentiment and for
the general reputation of the town,
our cemeteries should be neatly kept
and some system adopted which will
look to the future with a view to
beautifying them by improvement
from year to year. The plan pursued
in other communities is to form a
cemetery association, either one
association to assume the care of all
+ hA Af1f Ae.fn In n
separate organization for the care OF
each burial plot. The association
plan contemplates the payment OF
all money into a general treasury and
its expenditure over the whole en-
closure by a committee appointed
for the purpose. Under such ar
arrangement landscape gardener
could be employed at the outset d
plan adopted which would yield the
best general result at the end of a
term of years Under such a system
the walks and unassigned lots would
receive attention and the burial lots
belonging to families who have nc
descendants to assume their care
would be kept and beautified for the
sake of the general appearance of the
entire cemetery.
Skowhegan has three buryinQ
grounds, all of them in locations oil
great natural beauty. a slight In
crease in the amount now expended
in their care if the work was done in a
systematic manner, would make them
much more beautiful than they have
ever been. Who will be the first to
move for the formation of the Show
hogan Cemetery Association. The
REPORTER will gladly extend the use
of it's columns in announcing meetings
called for the purpose or in giving
publicity to plans and discussions that
will help those who wish to do SO to
unite their efforts for the best results

 The amount of scrip as you show outstanding October 1, 1908, $39. .1...lS, was the amount of scrip ont October i. 1907. Ny books show d balance out standing as you will see from rnE Oc tober statement to be $121 ,20;5,.36 can't tell the exact amount of out-
