The death of Rev. Robert w. Van
Schoirk occurred in Holland, Michigan,
on Monday of last week, at the age of
sixty-seven. The Reverend Doctor was
W Mell-known throughout the bounds of
the Wyoming Methodist Episcopal Con-
ference, and will be no where held in
more tender andt .appreciative remem-
blance than in the Honesdale, district,
where he served most acceptahly as pre-
siding elder for several years. He was
at times pastor of various prominent
churches in the conference, and wher-
ever he was stationed, made warm and
'asting friends. Several years ago he
was injured in railroad wreck, and for
some time past he had been in feeble
he alth. His wife died several years ago,
and his home had latterly been with his
daughter, Mrs. Ella Gawdy, at Holland,
Mich, where he died. While not great
or deep sermonizer, he was plain, earnest
and convincing, and of such a sunny
temperament and winning manners that
lie was, perhaps without exception, the
best man in the conference to solicit
needed funds for various church causes.
His whole life, from early manhood up
to the time of his death, was spent in
active work in the pulpit and church
reward which he so richly merited.
Edward l.. Fuller, of Scranton, presi-
dent of the International Salt Company
railroad director, financier and philan-
thropist, died in Augusta, Georgia, on
Friday afternoon last, of a stroke of apo
plexy, aged 81 years. On the advice OF
his physician Mr.. Fuller went to Augusta
on the previous Saturday for the benefit
of his health, although it was thought
by his friends that he was only slightly
indisposed, and simply in need of rest
from the eXactions of his extensive bust
ness interests. A few weeks since he
contracted severe cold, from which
| however, he appeared to have nearly
recovered, when an attack of ptomaint
poisoning, resulting from eating some
unwholesomeo oysters, aggravated laten
kidney trouple, and it is believed was
the esuperinducing cause OF the apoplectiC
stroke. At the time of the seizure hi
was thought to be rapidly improving
and telegram to his Scranton friends
on the morning of his death stated tina
he was in tip-top shape. The body wa
brought back to Scranton for the funera
services and interment. Mr.. Fuller wa
born in Hawley, Oct. 10, 1851, and wa
the son of f. G. Fuller, descendant of |
New England family. The elder Fulle
went to Scranton when that city was ye
a village, and was until his death one O
its most prominent and influential citi
zens. The son inherited all the strength
of character that was in the father ant
was, in the purest sense of the term, self
made. He met with business reverse
early in his career, but rose superior t.
them all, and died one of the wealthies
of Scranton's many wealthy citizens. H
was married in 1876 to Helen NJ, daugh
