and upon the death Of nor aunt

cation therein and in which she be-
came proficient She was at home
any art center whether in France
Germany or Italy. She took great
pleasure IN attentions to her ac-

Gated mostly in Newark and were
the friends Of the generation of the
late George G. Evans, the White

genial, bright and spirited-natur-

George Holtzbecher was noted

haustible store of anecdotes, and
the faculty of telling story well.
They all had the good fortune of
a genius for friendship and such
are remembered when those who
have it not are forgotten.

ELIZA JOHNSON HOLTzBECHER.

ELIZA JOINSON I1OLIIBECdER.
Miss Eliza johnson Holtzbecher,
a well-known native of Newark,
was recently killed in Paris by an
automobile. She was probably not
far from seventy years of age. Her
family had been associated with
Newark for nearly one hundred
years. The first of them came to
Delaware from Philadelphia. He
was retired merchant, who bought
the farm lying to the southeast of
Newark and took up his residence
there. His children were four in
number, daughter, Miss Eliza,
and three sons, Frederic, Lewis
and George. Frederic died soon
after reaching manhood; Lewis
died when about thirty-fve; and
George lived until about 1855. The
latter became interested in Vir-
ginia land in partnership with the
late Rathmell Wilson; and was
killed by a discharge Of his gun
when crossing the string piece of
bridge. George, only, married. His
wife was Miss johnson Of Day
ton, Ohio, and the subject of this
note was their only child. The
mother dying early, Eliza was
reared by her aunt, who lived to
great age, during which she was a
well-known figure in Newark and IS
no doubt still well remembered.
She was woman of refinement,
of cultivated mind, and OF social
and hospitable nature. She had
many notable people among her
friends. College professors found
her an attractive hostess. Presi-
dent Graham showed his respect
and affection by teaching the young
Eliza Latin-which no doubt gave
her the facility she showed in the
acquisition of foreign languages.
She was also otherwise well educat-
ed, both at Miss Chamberlain s
school and by private teachers.
She early became an art student

WAS EXPERT ON
FOUNDRY WORK
Peter Edward MeIIand, Who
Died in Chicago, Came to
South Bend in 1907 to Take
Charge of Local Foundry.

Peter Edward Melland, who died
Oct. "a in. st. Elizabeth hospital, Chi
cago, following an operation, was
we'll known and highly respected
among the iron founders of South
Bend. He came TO this city from
Chicago in 1907 and took charge Of
the Indiana Foundry and Machine
companys foundry and later took the
foremanship OF the South Bend Man
ufacturing company's plant.
In 1910 Mr.. Melland accepted the
superintendency of the Berry FOun-
dry and Manufacturing company in
st. Joseph, Mo, and from there he
went 10 Sycamore, Ill, to take the
mana cement of a new foundry opened
by William r. Perrin and company
OF Chicago, whose service he had left
in 1907 when their foundry depart
ment in Chicago was discontinued.
At the time Of his death. Mr.. Mel
land had been residing for several
months on his farm, six miles east OF
South Bend, TO which he had retired
in the hope that the outdoor life
would benefit his falling health. His
condition continued TO grow worse
and early in the present month he
went 10 Chicago to consult a special
list. An operation was decided upon
as q last resort and was performed
the day of his death. He survived
only a few hours.
Mr.. Melland was born in Hitteren.
Norway, Dec. 3, 1871. He came to
the United States in 1892 and was a
citizen of Chicago until 1907. on
Nov. 2S OF that year he was united IN
marriage to Miss Mary Louise Glas-
gov of this city, who survives him.
He was confirmed in the Lutheran
church of Norway in 1887, united
with the Congregational church at
Sycamore, and lived a consistent
christian life, honored and respected
by his business associates and beloved
by his friends.
The body was brought TO South
Bend for burial and the funeral took
place Monday afternoon from the
home of Mrs. Melland's parents, 171O

Tensely interesting. excrutiatingly

NOR and sparkling wit. Fine Feath-

Thursday evening.
The play is said TO be a magnificent
and yet subtle exposition Of what we
call legitimate graft-the manner in
which certain factors in business
evade their consciences through tech

penury with his pretty wife, knows
