The community was deeply shocked
to hear of the sudden death of Andrew
}. Easham, which occurred Wednes-
day evening, May 28th. He had retir-
ed and was apparently in his usual
good health and when death came
which was without warning-he was
talking with his wife. They had been
spending the evening at their neigh
bors, Capt. William Walls. Medical
help was hurriedly called. Mr.. FASH
am was sixty-two years of age. He
was a son of Jacob Easham and was
born near ShOwells, Md. For several
years he lived in Baltimore hundred.
He moved to FrankfOrd when he was
appointed a carrier for a rural mail
route twenty years ago; which route
he has continuously faithfully serv-
ed. He had host of friends. In poll
tics he was for several years an ac-
tive Republican. He was also an ac-
tive member of the Presbyterian
Church, in which church funeral SER
vices were held Friday afternoon.
They were conducted by the pastor,
Rev. Chester A. Redmonds Burial was
made in Carey's cemetery. He is sur
vived by his widow, eight sons and
three daughters and a large number
of friends, to mourn his loss. It is
estimated that during the time he was
rural route carrier that the mile |
age he drove, would circle the globe |
more than three times.

home Wednesday evening, less than
an hour after the death of his neigh
Dor, Mr.. Easham. Capt. Walls had
