Our community was saddened on Sat
urday, August II, when the news came
that Jack Aptt had died very suddenly
in Philadelphia. For several months he
had been employed by Stetson & Elli-
son Company, driving a truck until
July 81, at which time he moved with
his family to Philadelphia. He secured
a position with the Red Star Bus Com
pany and had just gone to work on Sat-
urday, apparently in good health so far
as is known. After having worked part
of the day, he was sitting in his bus,
waiting to make up his load, when he
was stricken with heart trouble and
died instantly His body was removed
to the Miseracordia Hospital, until his
family was located after which it was
brought to the home of his father-in-
law, Frank Sedgwick. The funeral SER
vices were conducted at the house on
Tuesday by the Rev. Buckson, and in
terment was made in Hollywood ceme-
terry, at Harrington. He is survived by
his widow, who was Letitia Sedgwick,
also two little children; mother, sew
eral brothers and a sister and a host of
friends.
Jack" as he was known was only rs
years of age, and although he had not
lived in this community very long, new
ertheless he had made large circle of
friends who will miss his loving smile
and pleasing personality.
We, therefore, take this means to ex-
tend to the bereaved family, our con-
dolence and hope they may find some
comfort in the following lines.
In the valley of the shadow
Where your souls are bowed today
In deepest sympathy, o friends,
We enter if we may.
Though words avail so little, we long
to say to you,
That in your hour of sorrow, our hearts
are heavy, too.
But when, in day to come, we too,
Shall reach the unseen Land
Where bitter partings are no more
Perhaps we'll understand.

Mrs. Viola Thistlewood was removed

but most of all we're wishing her. the
