Now tell me about it, he said. He
heard me through without speaking.
"And you think Louise knows some
thing?" he said when | had finished.
Il don't--in fact am sure OF it. The
best evidence of it is this: she asked
me is he had been heard from, or II
anything had been learned. She won't
allow Walker in the room, and she
made me promise to see you and tell
you this: don't give up the search for
him. Find him, and find him soon.

former selves. Under all this, these

Death of Mr.. Robert McElrcy.

Chester Reporter, Thursday = Mr.. Rob
ert McElroy, Chester's oldest resident
and a mar who enjoy ed the confidence
and esteem of his friends and neigllbors
in marked degree, passed away Tues
day night at his home on Center street.
He had been gradually weakening for
several days, and his death came with
simple lapse of his powers and was free
to a great extent from pain and suffer-
ing. Almost to the end he conversed
with friends and Lowell ones, and until
the last he recognized those who crowd
ed around his bed to say farewell.
The funeral services were held yester-
day afternoon at 5 O'Clock at the resi-
dence of the Rev. S. j. Cartledge and
the remains were LAID to rest in Ever
green cemetery. Mr.. McE!roy was born
in Ballymena, county Antrim, Ireland
January, s31, 1920. He came to this
country when a young man of %,
landing at Charleston and coming di-
rect to Fairfield county, where he set
tied in the New Hope section. He con-
tinued to live in New Hope until 1859
when he removed to Hazelwood neigh
borhood in Chester county: While iiy-
ing in Fairfield he married Miss Mary
Anne Lammey, of Fairfield, who died
September g.. l849, leaving one son,
Joseph, who is now a resident OF Iup-
elo, Miss. On September 4, 1851, he
was married to Miss Catharlne Carlisle
who died July 3, 1898, leaving the
follow ing ons and ~daughters:. Messrs.
James C., Robt. S., I. R and w. b.
Nc Elroy and Mesdames S. M. McCon-
mel, R. B. Bigham, }. j. Jones K. L.
| Dunbar, Carrie Walker, w. S, Dunbar
and Misses Susan and Mary McElroy.
| Four sons of the second marriage died
in infancy. In 1871 Mr.. McElroy moved
to Chester, where he had lived since.
He was a Tailor by trade, and during
| all these years, and until advancing
| infirmities ordered otherwise, continued
to ply his trade. Mr.. McElroy was a
member of the A. r. F. church and
was a faithful and loyal worker in thu
Masters vineyard. III 1862, although
past the age set by the enrolling act
he enlisted in the state reserve troops
and saw service for several months.
As a citizen Mr.. Nc Elroy was all that
could be desired. He was true and
faithful to all trusts committed to him
and his long life was stained by no act
that could cause friend or acquaintance
to think less of him. His mind was a
rich store of information, and to those
of a younger generation. whose ances,
tors came from olnty Antrim, Ireland
he was able to impart much informa-
ton of profit and interest.
The above notice In reference to the
death of Mr.. Robert McElroy, father
of our fellow-citizen Joe McElroy, came
to him Wednesday morning. Mr.. Nc
Elroy was preparing to leave the same
day for Chester in answer to a message
that his father was seriously i'll. But
this announcement of his fathers death
caused him to cancel the trip.
The above notice pays a high tribute
to the deceased and the host OF friends
of Joe McElroy extend him coincidence
in his bereavement.
