In the Realms of Rest.

Henry M. Loyns, a/well-known and re-
spected lady OF Shepherdstown, died last
Monday night, after an illness OF less
than twenty -four hours, at the home OF
her cousin, c. D. Summers, in Cleveland,
Ohio. Mrs. Loyns left here on Septem-
Der 18th for an extended visit to relatives
in Pennsylvania and Ohio. She first
stopped in New Castle, Pa, with the
family of her nephew, E. H. Barnhart,
with whom she spent couple OF weeks.
She was in good health and spirits, and
seemed TO enjoy her visit greatly. Last
Sunday Mr.. and Mrs. Barnhart went with
her to Cleveland, where she expected to
remain month. They returned in the
evening, leaving her as well as usual.
Mrs. Loyns ate her supper and gave. no
indication of illness until about 10 O'Clock
at night, when she complained OF a pain
in her breast. AS she was not relieved
by home remedies, physician was sent
for about 2 o'clock in the morning. He
ministered to her, and called again in
the morning. She still suffered, and as
the day wore on she grew worse. About
7 o'clock in the evening she became ex-
tremely i'll. and the doctor was hastily
summoned again. AT 7.l5 o'clock she
sat up in bed for moment, and then fell
back corpse. The physician stated thar
her death was caused by valvular heart
trouble, brought on by acute Indigestion.
Mr.. E. H. Barnhart was notified, and he
went at once to Cleveland, and with his
wife accompanied the body to Shep-
herdstown, reaching here Yesterday at
1920 a. m. Three weeks from the day
Mrs. Loyns left home, in anticipation OF
a pleasant trip of several months, she
was brought back a corpse. The de-
ceased, whose maiden name was Cease,
was a native of Churchvile, near Staun-
ton, Va, but most of her life was spent
in Shepherdstown, where she came as
the bride of Mr.. Loyns forty-six years
ago. She was good woman, quiet and
unobtrusive in manner, and from her
girlhood was consistent member OF the
Lutheran Church. She was devoted to
her home, rarely leaving Shepherdstown,
and it seems peculiarly sad that her death
should occur so far from her own roof
tree. Her age was &c years. Surviving
her are sister, Mrs. James E. Barnhart,
of Shepherdstown, and two brothers,
Mr.. E. P. Cease, OF Bridgewater, and
Mr.. Worth Cease, OF Churchville, Va.

Thursday afternoon at 2.3O O'Clock in
the Lutheran Church.
Mr.. lanes w. Bane, the Oldest resident
of this section, died at his home nile or
two south of Shepherdstown last night
about eleven O'Clock. He was 81 years
of age last Monday, and was remarkable
in that he retained his faculties and health
until the last week of his life. His death
was from no especial disease-it was
simply the wearing out OF the bodily ma
chinery which had served him so long
and so well. Mr.. Bane was born on the
Lemen place on Rocky Marsh, west OF
town, and all of his long life was spent in
this section. He was farmer by occu-
patton, and for many years lived on the
Butler farm, near town. A few years
ago he bought the Lewis Lucas farm, upon
which he moved and where he spent his
latter days. He was strong and sturdy
man, and all his life enjoyed the best Of
healtfl-indeed, he scarcely knew what it
meant to be sick. Until week ago,
when he took to his bed for the last time,
he was able to be about and still possess
ed excellent eyesight and the enjoyment
of all his faculties, save that he was a
trifle, deaf Until the last be manifested
interest in farm affairs and other events,
and only last week gave directions about
wheat seeding and corn cutting. Mr..
Bane was a man esteemed and liked by
every person who knew him. He was
OF the most genial disposition, singularly
kind-hearted, frank and friendly, and he
had host of friends who will always
cherish the most kindly membranes OF
him. He was man OF most exemplary
habitsland character-an excellent citi-
izen, the best OF neighbors and a good
man in all the relations of life. In the
course of his long life he had seen the
remarkable development of this country
and the many wonderful inventions OF
modern times, but he was always wary
of new things, and il was only about a
year ago that he was tempted for the first
and only time TO talk over the telephone.
Mr.. Bane is survived by four daughters
and two sons: Mrs. Salie RonemouS,
Mrs. T. Ogle Link, Misses Mary and
Rose Bane, and Robert Bane, all OF this
vicinity and VIM. H. Bane, of Oklaho-
ma. The funeral service will be held

Triplett and c. -Sydenstricker. Inter
ment in Elmwood Cemetery.
