COL CARD IS DEAD

 Succumbs to Pneumonia

We'll Known Millerton Newspaper Man
 Succumbs to Pneumonia
 Col. Card, aged AS years, owner and editor of the Millerton Telegram died Sunday in Poughkeepsie, N. Y. of pneu- monia. His death has caused great sor- row in Millerton and in fact wherever he was known. His was the pleasing and attractive personality and the hearty hand shake, the genial welcome and the whole-souled greeting with which he met his friends will be greatly missed by them. MT. Card was possessed of re- markedly charitable and sympathetic nature and his deeds of humanity are numbered by the score. He was ever ready to extend sympathy and the help ing hand to those who were afflicted or in distress and his words of consolation have helped many a person to bear heavy burden or a sudden afdiction.
 THE NEWS joins with this legion of friends in extending most sincere and profound sympathy to those who were near and dear to him and whose cup of sorrow is now overfiowing.
 A townsman, writing of MT. Card says: "He was born in Boston Corners, N. r., in July, 1860, and was the son of MT. and Mrs. Eason N. Gard. He at tended the public school there, where he received his education. Whom about 21 x,o,,s cf ooo.1 1,o ,,,orr;od M;ss ,,ro Tobp son of Boston Corners and soon thereaf ter moved to Millerton. He began teach ing in the Millerton public school in about 1880 and continued until 1887. In thus capacity he won his way into the hearts of the children by his generous kind and patient methods. Becoming interested in the community, he decided to take up the newspaper busi- ness and nl 1887 purchased the Millerton Telegram of s. Deacon. His success in this enterprise is well known and the many readers of the paper will miss the familiar sayings which could only origi- nate from his pen. Never was his pa- per used, while he owned it, to write i'll against fellow townsman and always upheld what was right and good against any odds"
 MT. Card was @ noted singer and fine musician. He lead the Methodist church choir for a number of years and about 10 years ago took his family Gall of whom are fine musicians and singers) on tour of the country, singing in churches and halls. He was member of the Masonic order, an Odd Fellow and a Pythian. He IS survived by a widow and two daughters, Addie and Hazel.
 The funeral was held in the Milferton Methodist church yesterday afternoon, the sermon being preached by the Rev H. Y. Murkland. The floral tributes were beautiful and the edifce was filled to overfowing by those who gathered to pay their final tribute to the memory of their departed friend"

old records which are little used but
which must be kept and this is the
only way to do it. Mr.. Jake Kolb
