Old and Young Answer the Last Sum-
mons of the Grim Reaper.
The Register last week made brief men,
zion OF the death OF Thomas Jefferson
Link, who passed away at his home near
Duffields Thursday morning. Mr.. Link
had been in failing health for long time,
and his death was not unexpected. He
was aware OF the approaching end, and
he expressed himself as being ready and
willing to answer the last summons, for
he had firm faith in his Lord and Saviour.
Mr.. Link, who was II years, 3 months
and % days old, was born in the old home
on the farm now owned by Charles o..
Moler at Uvilla, and all his long life was
spent in the Duffieds and Uvila neigh
borhood. He was son OF Adam Link,
one OF the Well-known farmers OF that
section, and he himself followed this &C.
cupation all his life. He had been con-
sistent member of the Lutheran Church OF
UviIla for SO years, and seldom missed
service that he was able to attend. 1t
was his custom TO walk TO church. as his
father before him had done, and ii was
only in his later years that he used We
hicle. He was man OF the highest in
tegrity, and nothing would induce him 10
do anything that he thought was wrong
He was gentle and modest in his demean-
or, but his sterling worth was known to
those who were his friends and who
were nearest TO him, and he left an influ-
ence for good that will long be felt in the
community. He had been an especially
good friend to the editor OF this paper for
more than thirty wears, and we always
enjoyed his CHEEKY visits ard his unfail
ing exhortation, "take good care otyour-
SELF" With many other friends we de-
plore his death, but we know that he has
gone TO the reward OF the righteous. He
is survived by his wife, a son, Boyd Link,
and a daughter, Mrs. Harry M Lemen.
The funeral was held last Saturday in the
Lutheran Church at Uvilia, of which he
had so long been amember, and the body
was inferred in the graveyard adjoining.
The service was conducted by his pastor,
Rev. |. D. Woman, assisted by Rev.
John c. SiIer, OF the Presbyterian Church.
Daniel Morgan Entler, native OF Shep-
herdstown and well-knoWn resident Of
this place until he went 10 McKeesport,
Pa, thirty years ago. died in the latter
city last Saturday at the home OF his son,
Robert Enter, aged 50 years, 4 months
and g days. His death followed an i'll
ness OF only Jew days. Until last week
he was in the enjoyment OF good health
and in possession OF his faculties TO re-
markable degree for one so advanced IN
years. Wednesday evening he tripped
and fell while walking about the house.
and fractured his left thigh. The shock
was very severe, and he declined rapid
ly until his death ensued on Saturday
Mr.. Entler was a Confederate veteran,
having enlisted at the beginning OF the
Civil War in the afterward famous
old Company B, of Shepherdstown, which
as part OF the Stonewall Brigade saw
strenuous service throughout that CON-
flict. While on picket outy al Gettysburg
in 1863 he was shot in the arm, very
severe wound being inflicted, necessita-
ting the removal of section OF the bone.
He was twice captured and imprisoned in
Federal prisons, but he remained true TO
his colors until the end. After the war
he followed his trade, that OF a carpen-
ter, until he went 10 Pennsylvania some
thirty years ago, where his sons had oc-
cupation. His old friends and comrades
will be sorry to know that he has passed
away. He is survived by his wife and
three children: Harry L. Entler, OF Will
merding, Pa, and Robert Entler and Mrs.
W. B. Tenant, Of McKeeSport; also by
