who then made his home with his niece,
Miss Annie Knode, in Sharpsburg, was

II is with genuine sorrow that we note
the death OF our friend Mr.. Ambrose Hen
kle, for thirty years editor of the Shen-
andoah Valley at New Market, Va. He
had been i'll for some time past, and last
week was taken to hospital in Phladel-
phia, where he died on Monday. AS ed
itor and publisher and the active head of
large printing establishment, Mr.. Hen
kle was widely known all through the
valley, and his death will cause great re-
gret. We never knew finer man-hon-
orable, sincere, kind-hearted, genial and
unselfish, he was Christian gentleman
OF the highest type, and the ending OF his
useful life is great loss to that section of
Virginia. Mr. Henkle, who was 81 years
of age, was prominent member of the
Lutheran Church, and published num-
Der Of books and papers OF this denomina-
ton.
