James Sherwin, Sr., died at the
home of his son-in-law, Joshua C.
Haines, 606 Walnut street Camden,
last Friday morning, of pneumonia.
He had been seriously i'll for weeks
but rallied and appeared to be con-
yalescing when he suffered stroke
of paralysis on Wednesday evening
of last week. This makes it all the
harder to bear. The daughters, Mrs
Haines and Mrs Amanda Wilson (she
being a daughter OF his wife's, for
merly Rachel Lischman, but she was
treated as an own daughter, and she
loved him as a father having tenderly
nursed him for weeks only to have
their hopes blighted, is to them a
crushing blow. He was a life long
! resident of this neighborhood, a pros
porous farmer, kind neighbor, a
good citizen, man highly esteemed.
He will be missed by large circle of
| friends and acquaintance. After the
sale of his farm he always made his
home with his daughter in Camden
| in the Winter, but as soon as Spring
| time came he hurried to the country
| He made his home with his nephew,
Edward lSherwin, until the season
closed and that was the way he would
alternate between the homes. He
was in his 88th year. Funeral SER
vices were held here at Friends Meet
| ing House Monday at 1.30 p m.
Rachel Lippincott and Priscilla Herr
tage were the speakers. Interment
in Friends burying ground. His son
James Sherwin, of Chicago reached
\ + 10 oh ioh q
great comfort to the family as he had
not been home for two years. The
relatives and friends took lunch with
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Sherwin. Thus
another weary pilgrim has entered
into rest. The sympathy of host Of
! friends goes out to this dear family,
and the prayer ascends that God will
bounteously reward the daughters
who ministered so tenderly to his
needs, also to the nephew who was
SO kind to him and who gave him a
hearty welcome to the Inequalities
of his home. The will was read on
Monday afternoon, his daughter, Mrs
Margaret S. Haines, being left sole
