RESIDENTS
IN SAME STREET
CALLED BY DEATH
Vim. II. Bowen, John Barrett,
John Galbraith and Mrs. Susan
Starbuck, of S. O., Pass Away.

Four prominent residents of South
Orange lie dead within ten blocks of
each other In Valley street today. and
all four died within a period Of
twenty-four hours.
Flags in South Orangs are set at
half-mast out of respect to the memory
of former Village Trustee William H
Bowen, who died at his home, ITO
Valley street, that village. yesterday.
Mr.. Bowen died while a mass was
being offered for him In the Church OF
Our Lady of Sorrows, of which he was
a communicate for thirty-four years.
Death was due to heart trouble,
brought on, it is believed, by a shock
which he received shortly after he sue
ceeded in preventing a wfeck on the
Lackawanna railroad a year g last
August. Mr.. Bowen was born In Bos-
ton ffty-seven years ago. He made
his home in South Orange for the past
thirty-four years. He was elected a
member of the Village Board of Trus-
tees m 1895, during the administration
of tie late Harmon H. Hart as presi-
dent. He served as a member of the
village governing board for three years,
his term ending in 1899.
The funeral will take place Wednes-
dav morning, when a solemn high mass
of reuben will be celebrated In the
Church of Our Lady of Sorrows. The
interment will be in the Cemetery of
the Holy Sepulchre.
John Barrett, member of the Essex
County Board of F~reeholders 1906, 'D7
and '08, died in the house where he
was born at 1874 Valley street early
this morning. Nervous trouble con-
tracted in the Spanish war amp at
Jacksonville. Fla, indirectly caused his
death. He was SO years old and had
been chief of the village fire depart
ment and a member of several other
local bodies. 1t was in 1907 that he
created a sensation by forcing friends
to carry him ill and hardly conscious
into the Board of Freeholders so as t.
give it a Democratic majority on q
vote.
Another old resident of Valley street
to pass away was John Gaibraith, agee
rs, who had been four months Ill of Q
| complication of diseases. Mr.. Gal
braith was born in Scotland, but cam
to America when a child and Tor 9
time was engaged in the jewelry bust
ness in Newark. His wife died six
teen months ago. but he Is survived
@by a daughter. Mary, and Charles, Har-
vey and Frederick, sons. The funeral
will be private, and the interment in
Paramount Cemetery.
Mrs. Susan Starbuck, aged 86. was
the fourth Of the Valley street residents
to die within "a hours. She was The
widow of Edward Starbuck and is slr-
vived by four nephews, Edward az
Clement Brown and George and Fran
Lesher.
