DEATH OF CHARLES RIssLER.

The funeral of the late Charles
Rissler was held last Sunday after
noon, at the home of his mother, Mrs.
Samuel l.. Rissler, four miles south
of Charles Town. Interment was
made in Edge Hill Cemetery.
Mr.. Rissler died in the State Hos
pital at Weston on Thursday, with
in ten days after he had been COM
mitted there for treatment for mental
disorder. For several month he had
been suffering from shock sustained
in a fall from an apple tree three
years ago, and it is believed that his
disordered mental condition was due
to the accident.
Deceased who was SO years old was
most companionable man, scrupu-
lousy honest in business affairs, and
faithful to his every obligation. He
was in the undertaking business in
Charles Town for a number of years.
An aged mother sorely afflicted by
his passing away, survives, together
with four brothers and three sisters.
Two of his brothers reside in Mis-
souri,: William B. at Pleasant Green,
and Samuel L. near Sedalia. The
other members of his family are:
brothers, Robt. C. and Warren H
Rissler of this county; sisters, Mrs.
S. Lee Phillips and Miss Donna Ris-
sler of the county, and Mrs. Charles ii.
Phillips, Berryville, Va.

DEATH OF JAMES EAcAN

Mr.. James Eagan died at his home
about a mile southwest of Charles
Town last Sunday afternoon aged rs
years. He had been suffering from
stomach trouble for several years and
although his death was not unexpect-
ed, nevertheless was shock to his
family and friends. He was one of
jefferson County's most successful
and prosperous farmers, and was an
active, industrious, thrifty citizen of
the community. He was gentleman
OF sterling worth and integrity, and
was good neighbor and friend. He
will be sadly missed by the immediate
family circle for his many loveable
qualities. He was member of St.
James Catholic Church of Charles
Town. He is survived by one brother
and one sister, Mr.. Thomas Eagan,
and Miss Kate Eagan and a cousin,
Miss Mary Eagan of his immediate
family. Funeral services will be held
Thursday morning at 1890 o'clock
in st. James Catholic church. Inter-
ment in Edge Hill Cemetery.
At the regular meeting of the City
Council last night, Mr.. G. F. Conklyn
was granted permission to erect bot
Ting house on his lot on East Liberty
street, and only other routine bust
ness was transacted, including the
quarterly report of the Finance Com
mittee.
