BURRSVILLE

Death again visited this community on
Friday morning, at II O'Clock and took
away a most highly respected and Christ
l ian woman, Mrs. James Voss, who, be-
/ fore her marriage, was a Miss Curry,
aged So years. She leaves a large family

Mrs. r. H. Dill, of Burrsville, Mrs. H.
R. Lewis, of Denton, Mr.. J. W. Voss, of
Denton, Mrs. Annie Sipple, of Kent
county, Del; Mr.. Leonard Voss, who
lives at the late home of the deceased;
Mr.. John Voss, of Kent county, Del.
AS mother she was kind and affection
ate and was much loved by all who knew
her. When IS years of age, Mrs. Voss
attended church at Whites, where she
was converted at that age and later join
ed at Wesley NJ. f. Church where she
served faithfully in the church militant
until called to join the church trium
phant For sixty-six years she resided
on the farm where she was taken as
bride, which was in 1S47. Her life was
an inspiration to those who came in con-
tact with her. and her influence for good
will only be known when the books shall
be opened and the redeemed shall come
forth and call her blesses. She was true
to God and true to the church she loved
"a good neighbor, a wise councillor and
a faithful and loving friend. While she
has not carried her name high upon the
roll of fame, she has won the esteem,
the respect and love of everyone, which
is better and more enduring than mon
ument of granite. The funeral services
were held in Wesley NJ. E. Church Mon
day morning at II O'Clock by her pastor,
Rev. NJ. E. Wheatley, and a friend, Rev.
G. L. Hardesty With the commitment

union on the vernal shores of peace.

When the cannery on Mount Ararat
was built the management, at that time,
expressed the intention of building rail
road across the country to connect with
the NJ. D & V. R. R. Just below the
Milton depot Since the cannery has
changed hands the proposed improve
ment, and facility for transporting goods
to and from the railroad has been revived.
Should such a work be done there will
be much grading to do. as the line would
cross Parker Branch, which would have
to Ge trestled. the lands of G. A. Bryan
and S. J. Martin, and a much hilly dis
trict. most of the route. The owners of
the land, together with representative
of the canning company, were looking
over the situation last week but no def
mite conclusion has been yet announced.
When this cannery was built Mount
Ararat was the most desirable place that
could be found forts location, on account
of its proximity to water facilities. Now
we have no vessels running or belonging
III the Broadkiln; a steamboat is a thing
of the past-except as they come from
other ports-and most of the traffic that
goes to and from this cannery goes and
co-ies BY rail, and is hauled to and from
the Milton station, a distance of about
mile. Hence the advantage of a railroad
line operated by some power, and owned
by the company, to connect in a direct
way with the D. NJ. & V. railroad.
The tremendous amount of freight that
goes from and is received at the Milton
station has necessitated the putting down
of another switch, The ground to the
west of the station, and north of the track,
was graded for this purpose many months
ago, and now the ties have been laid, the
steel for the track is on the ground and
will soon be put down.
Nothing unusual transpired to tell us
last Wednesday was Lincoln Day except
the closing of the bank. The schools

If there is anything calculated to raise
