NORMAL SCHOOL
FOR THIS COUNTY

Trenton, n. j., Feb. IAN actual
and substantial move for the estab-
lishment of normal school in south
Jersey has originated in the house,
where Assemblyman Sheppard, of
Cumberland county, has introduced a
bill providing for the selection of
site and the building of a normal
school in Cumberland county.
This bill was referred to the COM
mittee on education, and as there is a
wide difference of opinion as to where
a normal school in South Jersey
should be located, It is expected thai
a public hearing will be arranged on
the bill in the course of a couple of
weeks.

LONG ILLNESS.
Succumbs to Paralysis After an
Illness of Several Years
at His Home.

"hildm L. service died early yes
terday afternoon at his home on At
lantic Street. When the end came he
was surrounded by his family, loyal
loving, devoted wife and his idolizing
daughters, Miss Alice, Helen and Mar
ion. A sister, Miss Annie Service.
was present. Death followed a long,
tedious illness, several years ago Mr..
Service suffering from paralysis. For
a long while he has been almost help
less and quite recently his sufferings
have been intense.
William E. Service has been for
years a respected and esteemed citi-
zen of Bridgeton. He came here a
young man from Philadelphia, and
was a highly skillful and most sue
cessful photographer. He succeeded
Gregory in the Grosscup building, and
later, John Ogden in erecting his
building on East Commerce Street,
fashioned a modern studio upon the
second floor under the direction of
Mr.. Service and the business was con-
Quoted there for years. Still later Mr..
Service established his studio on N.
Laurel Street and finally retiring from
the profession, disposing of his bu-
siness to Mr.. D. V. Ward, who had
been long in his studio. While en-
gagged in the photographing business
Mr.. Service operated branch in Mill
vile. Thousands and thousands of
photographs were made by him and
his work is in almost every home in
South Jersey.
Devoted to outdoor life, Mr.. Service
was an ardent cyclist and early op-
Grated one of the first automobiles
that was in the market. With Gus
C. Westcott he established the popu-
lar Ford automobile agency and gar
age on Washington Street and con-
tinued in this business until his health
failed when he disposed of his inter-
ests to Mr.. Westcott.
For many years Mr.. Service was an
active member of the Bridgeton Board
Of Education and for long while
was at the head of the teachers COM
mittee.
A member of the Berean Baptist
Temple, Mr.. Service always took an
active interest in the affairs of that
organization. He was a man of ster-
ling character, exemplary habits and
formed strong friendships. Well ac-
quainted with public affairs and pub
lie men, man of strong convictions,
he was always an Interesting CONVEX
sationist.
His home life was ideal. He was
proud of his family and while not ef-
fusive, never concealed admiration for
those of his household. His home on
Atlantic Street was always a popu-
lar and most hospitable place for a
legion of friends.
Miss Helen Service. daughter. has
been most successful ais a ischool
teacher and is now the principal of
the Bank Street High School. Miss
Alice Service, also teacher, has for
wears been doing special work, in the
Bridgeton schools. Miss Marion Ser
vice gave her efforts to home life. The
three daughters and the widowed
mother survive.
William E. Service has been missed
from the active affairs of Bridgeton
since he was stricken and there will
be many who will greatly regret that
death has come into the home and
taken away the we'll spent life. The
sympathy of the entire community
will go out to the bereaved members
of the family.
