MIILLICA HILL

ASA Lippinc0tt, an aged farmer liv-
ing near Jacksonville, died Sunday
morning Funeral services Wednes-
day afternoon at 2.30; interment at
Woodstown. His wife received fall
some time ago and broken thigh
was the result, from which she suf-
fers greatly, while a daughter is also
suffering with a broken wrist, the re-
suit of a fall.
Word was received here Monday
morning of the sudden death of Mrs.
Rachel, wife of DR.. E.. E. DeGrofft,
of Woodstown. She resided here
for several years and was highly es-
teemed by large circle of friends
and acquaintance. How true the old
scriptural saying: There is but
step betwixt thee and death. An
other saying:
It's only step to Jesus,
Then why not take it now?
Come and thy sins confessing
Thou shalt receive the blessing
SO freely offered thee. :"
Mrs Mary Spachman, widow of the
late William Spachman, who died in
1888, who resided ON East Avenue,
North side, was found dead in her
home Saturday morning. She had
not been seen by the neighbors for
a couple of days. The milkman mo-
ticed the bottles remained as he left
them; the next morning it was the
same, and he thought it time to in
vestigate. Joseph Moore Constable,
was notified, he broke the door down
and found Mrs. Spachman lying dead
ON the floor. The coroner was sum
moned, who said she must have died
a couple of days previous. The body
was in such a condition that no pub
lie funeral could be held her body
was simply wrapped in a sheet for
shroud and Sunday at noon {. few
of the citizens of both sexes gather
ed around the grave as Rev. G. S.
Golf, pastor of the M E. Church con-
Quoted a short service, reading APP
propriate passages of scripture, clos
ing with a fervent, tender prayer; it
was truly a pathetic scene; she had
lived among us quarter of cen
fury or more; was rs years of age,
and weighed about 300 Tbs. Only the
Wednesday previous to her death she
was noticed by several persons to be
slowly vending her way supposedly
to the post Office, but was informed
that her errand was to see Capt. E
L. Stratton, to have him fix up her
pension papers so she could draw her
last quarters pay, which had been
due since May 18th. Mr.. J NJ. Hoff-
man, who was passing by, noticed
her feeble condition and kindly assist
ed her over the rough pavement in
front of W. c.. Finkeni's gateway, but
even then she seemed so helpless and
weary that Mrs. J.. j. Moore APP
preached her begging her to be seated
on the porch at the Post Office, but
she insisted on going to the captains
home. He was asked to come to her.
Pen and ink were brought out; (she
was seated in a rocker which the cap
tain lifted to the ground off j. j.
Moore's porch); witnesses were pro-
cured, the papers made out and sign
ed and sent off in the noon mail, and
on Saturday the check for same was
received in the mornings mail, but
she was beyond the need of it.
