Club during the summer vacation took
place last Friday, the members going by
automobile to the Ames cottage, ''Birk-
ensea," by invitation, where a bcuntiful
and delicious picnic dinner was served
upon tables in the open air. The scenery
was greatly enjoyed until the pleasure
was interrupted by the oppressive atmos-
phere preceding the tremendous thunder
shower and pouring downfall, which
caused several prostrations, and hurried
gathering within the camp, where ''Beas-
leys Christmas Party" was read aloud,
while awaiting the arrival of the home
conveyances. Seventeen sat around the

OBITUARY. Wednesday morning, July
25th, Mr. William Clark, Familiarity call
ed Willie in this community, passed to !
the Higher Life in Milo, after brief ILL
ness of two days from hemorrhage of the
bowels. An attack of similar nature
recently kept him several days from his
business in the office of the American
Thread Co. The deceased was born May
g. 1891, in Brooklyn, N. Y, the second
son of Mr.. and Mrs Henry Clark. After
the death of his mother ten years ago last
March, he and younger brother, George,
came to live with their fathers aunt,
Miss Maria Griffin in Stockton making
his home with her until leaving for Milo
about two years ago. Always bright
and cheerful, of a naturally genial dis
position he was favorite among his
associates in this vicinity who hear
with deep regret of his sudden demise.
His older brother, Capt. Harry Clark of
New York, came Immediately to Milo,
where funeral services were held Thurs
day afternoon, and Friday noon he
brought the remains by train to Stock
ton for interment beside his grandfather,
the late Mr.. John Clark, in our village
burial ground, in accordance with the
expressed wish of the departed. The
shock of his sudden death was the great
er to his relatives in town because of his
coming by auto to call upon them the
Sunday previous to this fatal attack,
which seized him the next day. Many
acquaintance noticed how sick he looked
when meeting him on that last visit.
He was a member of Pownal Lodge, F.
& A. NJ, and of Bethany Chapter, o. E.
S. of this village. The full Masonic
rites were observed at the cemetery,
following a PRAYER by Rev. Mr.. Hulley.
