Rev. william Smyfhes Pastor OF
81. Barnebas' Episcopal
Church In Philadel-
- phia. A Victim
ON Beach.
DIED BEFORE DOCTORS COULD AID

The second death of the season, due
to heart failure while bathing on the
beach, occurred on Wednesday morn
ing, when the Rev. William Emythe,
pastor of the st. Baanabas' Episcopal
Church, at Gath street and Haverford
avenue, West Philadelphia, dropped
dead in full view of hundreds of merry
bathers.
When the rector was seen to fall his
wife, Sarah Catherine Smythe, called
for assistance and several life-guards
rusned to her aid. DIR. Cohen, the coro-
ner, and DIR. Kelchner of the Emergen-
cy Hospital were summoned and al
though they made all haste to reach
the scene and aid the minister, the lat
ter was dead before they could be OF
any assistance.
Mr.. Smythe was about 81 years old.
He and his wife had came down for a
days outing on the Philadelphia ex-
cursion train. His remains which were
removed to Ingersoll's undertaking
establishment on Pacific avenue, were
shipped to Philadelphia yesterday
afternoon. Mrs. Smythe, was unde-
cided on Wednesday, as to when the
burial would take place.
The clergyman was born in Ireland
in 1860. His death occurred directly in
front of Schellenger avenue, a short
distance out from the high water mark.
He had hardly been bathing five min
ntes when he collapsed and fell in a
heap on the beach. He had suffered
for some time from heart trouble and
both physicians stated that death was
due to this
Ten children, eight girls and two
boys survive the unfortunate rector,
the youngest being years of age. Mrs.
Smythe returned to her home, 64l0
Haverford avenue, Philadelphia, short
ly after l o'clock on Wednesday.
The rector is said to have suffered a
slight attack whtl he ran to catch the
Z o'clock train in Philadelphia.
Mr.. Smythe assumed the rectorship
OF st. Barnebas' Church In June, 1917.
Previously be had been assistant to
Rev. Edgar Cope, at st. 6imeon's.
During his rectorate he has been won
derfully successful in building up the
church and parish. AS a result of his
work in the past four years was the
dedication of the new rectory, a few
months ago, attended by Bishops
Rhinelander and Garland and other
leading Episcopalian clergymen.
Mr.. Smythe, received his theological
training in the Methodist Episcopal
Church of Belfast and afterwards stud
led in the Royal University in the
same city. After coming to this coun-
try he took up a oprse at the Philadel-
phia Divinity School.
