sudden passing out of John Saxton
Camper, at $50 a. m, Saturday, No
Vember Sth, 1880, due to heart trou-
BILE. He had been ain invalid from
this cause for several years, subject
to the constant sOlicitatude of his
wife and family, but for the past
three weeks had been feeling much
improved and had retired in fine
spirits. Although his passing away
had been expected many times pre-
viously, at this time it came as a
shock to his family. Mr. Camper
was highly respected in the COM
munity and had held positions of
honor and trust i'll civic affairs, in
which lie was always interested. He
had genial, social nature and al
ways enjoyed mingling with his fell
low men when health permitted.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon, conducted by
Rev. N. G. Benson, with singing of
appropriate selections by the choir
The floral emblems were many and
beautiful
Previous to moving to town Mr.
Camper was prominent farmer
and all the old friends and neigh.
bors were present with the tOwnfolk
to pay their last respects. Mr..
Camper was 67 years of age and is
survived by his wife, one son, Dr.
Emory Camper, a prominent physi-
clan of Hightown, N. j.; two daugh-

relatives our sincere sympathy.
Many of us have 'loved and lost.
awhile" but God will take us into
their godly company some glad day.
There are great griefs that leave
us shocked and stunned. These great
sorrows that obscure our skies are
caused by the suddenly passing
away of ones young child. Such
sad circumstance came to the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Lank on Sun
day evening, when their 7-year-Old
son Archibald passed away after a
short illness of Group. The desola-
tion and sorrow of this home is
great as this little child was the sun
shine and joy of the lives of his par
ents, his sisters and grandparents,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. George. Espe-
cially SO is the aching void in the
hearts of the paternal grandparents,
Major and Mrs. Lank, of Milford, to
whom this little child came as a bit
of sunshine, the only grandson to
cheer and bless their home with his
frequent visits, when he was the OBJ
ject of their tenderest solicitude. The
grief of all these relatives is shared
by the community. Little Archibald
was a pupil in the second grade and
was beloved by classmates and
teachers. Everyone will miss his
gentle presence but we know that
the hand of the Master that was
pierced for us will touch and heal
in time, the wound in our hearts.
"In the dusk of our sOrrOwful hours
The time of our trouble and tears,
With frost at the heart of the flowers
And blight Oh the bloom of the years.
Like the mother-voice tenderly hush
ing,
The sound of the sob and the moan,
We hear when the anguish is crush
ing,
The Lord will remember His own
The funeral services were held at
the home on Wednesday AFTERNOON
and were attended by many friends.
The teachers and pupils attended in
a body to take leave of the form of
this beloved child, asleep in Jesus.
The services were conducted by the
pastor, Rev. N. c. Benson. The choir
sang several beautiful selections. A
profusion of lovely flowers express
ed the heartfelt sympathy of many
friends. Interment was made in the
Odd Fellows cemetery at Milford.
Mrs. John M. Keim, Mrs. Boyd and
Mrs. Dippel, of Ardmore, Pa, and
Mrs. Elizabeth Fountain, of Phila-
delphia, were guests of Miss Eliza
beth Lank on Friday.

The Ladies Aid Society of Bar

the home of Mrs. Selden Raughley.
A fine program was given consisting
OF recitations, songs and readings.

One of the most delightful autumn
activities of the social season was
the monthly meeting of the Ladies
Aid Society at the home of Mrs. |
Harry F.. Mitten, who was assisted
in entertaining by Mrs. Sallie Hor-
sey and Mrs. B. F. Burton. The |
home was attractively decorated |

jack O. lanterns. The ladies came
in costumes appropriate for Hal
