NORTHERN CENTRAL TRAIN KILLED A MAN.
Remains of Frederick Bartis Sent to Ogdensburg for Burial.
The remains of Frederick Bartle, a steeple jack, who made his home for some time with Calvin Mitchell, near Calciana, were discovered by Charles Chapman, early Saturday morning. He had been in town the previous evening and started home about half past seven o'clock. It is assumed that he walked towards Calciana on the railroad track, and being quite deaf, that he was struck by a fast freight train. One arm and his collar bone were broken and there were several contusions on his head, face and body. Coroner Carr, after viewing the remains, decided an inquest unnecessary. His age was 56 years. The only near relative, a sister, Mrs. J. B. Leonard, of Ogdensburg, was notified, and she requested his remains shipped to that city for interment.
Mrs. Jane Cramer Lafurgey, a resident of this town until her removal to Michigan a few years ago, died at Mt. Morris in that state Thursday, after a (cause of death illegible) surgical operation.

BUTLER FARMER SUICIDES
CLAUDE WHEELER TAKES HIS LFE BY HANGING HIMSELF
Act Committed in a Period of Insanity Induced by Nervous Disorders-
Body Found by Mrs. Wheeler at Breakfast Time-
Deceased a Man Well Known and Prominent in His Town
Claude Wheeler, one of the best known farmers in the town of Butler, committed suicide Saturday morning by hanging himself in a barn. It is believed that the act was committed in a period of temporary insanity, his health having been such as to occasion alarm for several weeks. He went to the barn alone Saturday morning and not long after, his wife, going there to summon him to breakfast, found him suspended from one of the rafters. A physician was summoned at once but life was probably extinct when the body was found. Before leaving the house that morning Mr. Wheeler had shown no symptoms of melancholia but that he was a victim of insanity is reasonably inferred from his disturbed nervous condition for several days previously.
Mr. Wheeler was 45 years of age and had always resided in Butler. He was a man held in high esteem in the community and enjoyed great popularity in a large circle of friends. He was one of the most prominent democrats of the town and frequently represented his party at county conventions. A widow survives. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon.
DEATH OF W. A. ENGLISH
Former Lyons Resident Passes Away in Rochester
News was received in this village Monday evening of the death of William A. English, which occurred at the City Hospital in Rochester at 6:30 o'clock that evening. It was known here that he was seriously ill with typhoid fever but until shortly before death it was hardly expected that the illness would terminate fatally. The news was received with sincere sorrow by the many friends Mr. English made during the period of his residence in this village.
Mr. English was for a long time in the employ of John M. Hattler and while holding a position in that establishment won many friends by his gentlemanly and obliging disposition. All who know him respected him. He was a member of the Presbyterian church in this village and a young man of exemplary habits and character. About two years ago he accepted an excellent position in Rochester and removed to that city with his family. He was 38 years of age. He is survived by his wife, before marriage Miss Etta Cline of this village, and two children, the youngest of whom is only four weeks of age, a father and mother residing in Toronto, and three brothers. The body will be taken to the home of the father in Toronto for burial.

DIED IN POVERTY WITHOUT FRIENDS
The Downfall and Death of Isaac Miller, Formerly of Clyde
HIS RICHES FLEW AWAY
Once the Wealthiest and Most Influential Business Man of Clyde -
He Did Wrong and Lost His Wealth - Wayne
News of the death of Isaac Miller, in Kansas City, Mo., June 17th, had just been received in Clyde, his former home, which furnishes another and (sic) illustration of the fact that riches fraudulently secured will "take to themselves wings and fly away." Mr. Miller, who was about 75 years of age at the time of his death, came to Clyde from Amsterdam, N. Y., in 1840. January 7th, 1851, he organized the Commercial Bank, of Clyde, in a brick building on the corner of Columbia and Sodus streets, now occupied by the postoffice, which he had built expressly for banking purposes. In 1860 he purchased a lot on the corner of Lock and West Genesee streets and had a handsome residence built for himself at an expense of $30,000. This residence was furnished with all the latest improvements and modern conveniences that money could purchase. His stable was supplied with the best blooded horses, and the most elegant of carriages. An experienced coachman was constantly in attendance to drive himself and family whenever and wherever he desired. His table was supplied with the best of wines and liquors and all of the luxuries of the season.
In 1863 he purchased the property on the corner of Columbia and Glasgow streets and erected a large and handsome three-story brick block at a cost of $17,000. A year or two later he purchased all of the property on the south side of Columbia street, between Sodus and Glasgow, and on the corner of Sodus and Glasgow streets he had a three-story brick building erected at a cost of $8,000. About this time he was connected with the Clyde Glass Works in partnership with H. H. Stevens, under the firm name of Stevens & Miller, afterwards as Stevens, Miller & Co., the company consisting of C. E. Elliott and H. G. Groesbeck, and later he was associated in the business with George Rowell and Cornelius Miller under the firm name of Miller, Rowell & Co. In 1860 he became one of the principal stockholders in the Clyde Paper Mill Co., which was organized at that time, and continued business for about one year. In 1869 he failed in business with liabilities of $160,000, which consisted mostly of deposits in his bank of the industrious poor people of Clyde and vicinity, many worthy people losing the savings of a lifetime.
About this time he formed the acquaintance of Mrs. Ovid Vincent, the handsome and aristocratic wife of a boat captain, residing in Clyde. His intimacy with this woman became so pronounced that shortly after his estimable wife died from the effects of grief and disgrace. From this time misfortune followed him steadily until his death. After his wife's death he claimed that he secured a divorce for Mrs Vincent from her husband, and they were married. The citizens of Clyde were so thoroughly indignant over the failure of his bank and his marriage to Mrs. Vincent that his numerous creditors made his life miserable by repeated claims for settlement, and some of them went so far in seeking revenge as to mutilate his buildings and handsome fences. About eighteen months later his wife deserted him, and he disposed of what property he had left and went to New York. At about this time his son, William, died, and accompanied by his younger son, Bayard, he went to Texas, purchased a small piece of land and managed a stock farm. He finally lost this property and Bayard returned to Jersey City, N. J., and Miller went to Kansas City, Mo., where he died, as above stated, in very reduced circumstances, with no friends near him except a woman of questionable reputation with whom he lived.
The funeral service of Mrs. Christine Walheizer, of Clyde, was held Friday.

In 1904 he resigned from this company and returned to Savannah where he spent his time ever since. He was elected the first president of the Wayne County Auto Club and did well in this position.
In September 1880, he was married to Valeria Farrand who passed away in April 1916. He is survived by an adopted daughter, Grace, and one brother, George, of South Butler.
The funeral was held from the late home Wednesday afternoon at 1:30 and at two o'clock from the Congregational church with burial in the Evans Cemetery. Rev. C. H. Burroughs officiated with Rev. E.

Hattie VanLare, oldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob VanLare, died after a lingering illness at the home of her parents, one mile North-east of Wallington, Friday afternoon, Oct. 15, 1897, in the fourteenth year of her age. Her funeral was held the following Monday afternoon at the Presbyterian Church, in Sodus, with Rev. Mr. Ordway officiating, where a large assemblage of friends met in condolence with the bereaved parents and relatives. Her casket and the altar were strewn with flowers, testimonials of love and sympathy.
Here was a kind, affectionate disposition; she was a loving, thoughtful daughter and sister. During her long illness he bore up hopefully and patiently, regretting more the anxiety of parents and friends than her own sufferings. Even in her last few days of earthly life she refrained from asking for any service or favor not essential to her ___ for fear of making her mother ___ steps unnecessarily, and asked to have her mother spared the fatigue of the night-watch.

Miles D. Shirts was born Oct. 10, 1842, and married to Miss Elizabeth Bayless Feb. 1, 1864. He died Oct. 14, 1897.
Three children and the widow survive him. The oldest daughter, Carrie, is the wife of Herbert Belden of this place. Daniel, his only son, is in one of the large steamboats on the upper lakes; he has sailed most all his life. The youngest daughter is at home with her mother.
Mr. Shirts was the son of Joseph Shirts of our town, who was well known to many old residents. His mother was a sister to William, Paul, and Elisha Baldwin, who are well known to most of our people.
He had a fall two years ago Sept. 21, and received an injury to his back from which he never recovered and had been a great sufferer ever since; there were times that he suffered untold agony. He has not been on his crutches but once this summer. There is none that knew his sufferings that can wish him back. It was a great trial to take care of him he was so nearly helpless, but his faithful wife stood by him to the last and passed many a sleepless night to care for his every want. W. H. M.

He was a brother of the late DeWitt Parshall of Lyons, the father of R. J. Parshall and George H. Parshall.

He had gone on the scaffold and after tying the rope securely around his neck had jumped from a spring board which he had prepared and broken his neck.

DEATH OF SAMUEL P. PUTMAN
Passed Away of Old Age Early Tuesday Morning
Samuel P. Putman, an aged resident of Wolcott, died Tuesday morning at 4 o'clock. His age was 89 years.
Mr. Putman had been failing from age since last March, but had been ill in bed only about a month. Last week he sat up for a short time, but for a few days before his death he had failed rapidly. He slept much of the time and his hearing and speech were both somewhat affected at the last, besides which he was in a terribly exhausted condition.
Mr. Putman moved to Wolcott from Philadelphia in 1892, on account of his wife's health. The hot weather there in summer was more than she could bear.
Mrs. Putman is an aunt of E. B. Dowd, of Wolcott, being a sister of his mother, now deceased. Their family name was Tracy. They were born at Hartwell, Berkshire county, Mass.
Mrs. Putman moved to Philadelphia after her marriage, and lived there until they came to Wolcott. All Mr. Putman's business life was spent in traveling for a Philadelphia law-book firm. He traveled over the whole United States, visiting every city of any importance, and together husband and wife journeyed from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
In 1880 Mr. Putman suffered a sunstroke, which unfitted him for business. For a time it affected his brain and closed his business career.
The funeral will be held from the house at 2 o'clock this afternoon, Rev. Charles T. Shaw, the Presbyterian pastor, officiating. The interment will be in the Huron cemetery, where Mrs. Putnam's sister lies buried. Their only child, a baby 12 months old, which died many years ago, was buried in Massachusetts.

GEO. COLLIER DIES SUDDENLY
Rose, Feb. 16- The community was shocked and saddened by the sudden death of George A. Collier, which occurred in his store about 3:30 o'clock Monday afternoon, Feb. 14. He had just waited on a customer and stepped to his desk, when he was stricken and died in a few moments.
Mr. Collier was born in Rose, Dec. 25, 1850, and had always lived here. He was a son of John and Hannah Cardiff Collier, natives of County Carlow, near Dublin, Ire., family being members of the Church of England for generations. They came to Rose in 1845, buying of Thomas Warn, south of this village, what is now known as the Collier homestead and is occupied at present by John Collier and his sister, Mrs. Lila Snow. Mrs. Collier died April 17, 1892. Mr. Collier died August 9, 1897, at the advanced age of 89 years, 10 months.
The Collier Brothers (John and George) succeeding George H. Merritt, started a general store in what is known now as the Gregor building, about 1870, a little later moving to the Thomas store across the street, succeeding Lucius H. Dudley, who had kept a hardware store. In a few years, John left to start a store in Clyde. Nineteen years ago Mr. Collier moved to the brick store, west of the Baptist church, which he had since occupied.
George Collier was one of the oldest and most widely-known business men of this section, having been continuously in business for half a century. He was known as "the poor man's friend." His store was a rendezvous for friends and customers to meet, read and discuss the questions of the day. He was prominent in town and county Democratic politics since he became a voter, was postmaster during Grover Cleveland's second term, and was supervisor for three terms, being an efficient, courteous, accommodating official. In politics, as in business, he was loyal to his word, to his friends, to his principles.
June 28, 1888, he married Mary E., a daughter of the late Jackson Valentine, who survives, besides two brothers, Mark Thomas and John and one sister, Mrs. Lila Snow, all of Rose.
The funeral services will be held at the house at three o'clock, Thursday, Rev. Ordway, pastor of the Episcopalian church of Lyons, officiating. Interment will be made in the Rose cemetery.

Death of Mrs. Warren Drury
The death of Mrs. Warren Drury occurred at the Willard State Hospital on Saturday morning following an illness of active influenza which terminated in bronchial pneumonia which caused her death. She was ill with the last disease ___ forty-eight hours.
Mrs. Drury was a daughter of two pioneers of Wayne County. Her father John Finch was a pioneer of the town of Galen, while her mother who was Miss Diadema Chapin, was a daughter of a pioneer of Wolcott. She was born in Wolcott when the village was young, on the corner of what is now the corner of Lake and Auburn street in a little log house. Lowain (sic; Loana) Finch Drury, was born in the town of Galen between Rose Valley and Clyde, on April 7th, 1840.
She first attended the village school at Clyde, and later came to Wolcott and became a pupil in Leavenworth Institute and Wolcott Union School. Here she met Warren Drury whom she wed in 1866 at the close of the Civil War in which he was a soldier.
Mrs. Drury spent her whole married life in Wolcott. Her last home she had resided in for over forty five years. She was a sister of the late Frank Finch of Clyde.
Mrs. Drury was a well informed woman on all topics of the day. She read the best literature and politics was a hobby with her. About two years ago her eye sight began to fail her and she was unable to read much and later it became impossible for her to read at all. With only herself to think about she was finally pronounced by the physicians unfit to live alone and the doctors advised sending her to Willard for treatment. Here it was stated she had been suffering from arterial spasms. Since last June she had been confined to her bed.
Mrs. Drury is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Homer Hulburt, of Niagara Falls; two grand children Wayne Drury Hulburt and Chauncey Homer Hulburt of Rochester and two little great grand daughters.
Undertaker Hakes was notified and went Saturday morning for the body and Mrs. Hulburt arrived from Niagara Falls on Saturday evening.

DEATH OF MRS. ARMSTRONG AFTER PROLONGED ILLNESS
After an illness lasting since last November, Mrs. Helen Armstrong died at the home of her sister, Mrs. Hattie Jones, in Smith street, at 8 p. m. on Monday, aged about 80 years. The cause of death was senility, and a general break-down of the vital powers.

The deceased was a daughter of the late Jotham Post, of Butler, and the widow of George Armstrong, formerly of Wolcott. She was highly regarded by all who knew her.

East Palmyra, Feb. 11
Word has been received from Delta, Ohio, of the death in that place of Mr. Henry Gamble, brother of A. R. and D. P. Gamble and Mrs. R. H. Pyatt, of this place.
East Palmyra, Feb. 13- The sad announcement of the death of Mrs. Allen B. Robinson, Sunday, Feb. 10, at about 1 o'clock P. M., was a great shock to this village, where Mrs. Robinson was so well and favorably known and where only a few persons were aware of her illness. Mrs. Robinson was ill only one week, death resulting from pneumonia with septic poisoning.
Her husband is a well known New York Central Railroad ticket agent, coal dealer and proprietor of a general store. During the day of Saturday, Feb. 2, Mrs. Robinson assisted in the store. She was suffering from a severe cold and that night grew rapidly worse, when a physician was called. From the beginning of the attack it was feared the disease would prove fatal. All the love and care of a devoted husband and his parents and the best medical skill, with the aid of two trained nurses were of no avail. Last Saturday Dr. York, of Newark, was called in council with Dr. Z. B. Darling, of Palmyra, the attending physician. On Sunday Dr. Lee, of Rochester, was summoned, but upon reaching Palmyra he learned that Mrs. Robinson had died. She was 35 years old.
Besides her husband she is survived by her father, Rev. Mr. Hesig; four brothers, Rev. Theodore Hesig, Dr. Ernest Hesig and Charles and Paul Hesig; also one half-sister, all residing in Texas. Mrs. Robinson's maiden name was Fannie Davis Hesig. Along in the eighties she came to Marion from New York city, where her father then lived, and entered Marion Collegiate Institute where she was a student for several years. For three and one-half years she lived with Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Austin, and at their home, in January, 1891, she was married to Allen B. Robinson, of Sodus, the marriage ceremony being performed by her brother, Rev. Theodore Hesig.

Found On the Lake Shore
On Wednesday last a dead body was discovered in the lake at the foot of a small bluff east of Lake Bluff. It was identified as that of Jacob Schnitzer, a German cobbler, of Wolcott, who left that village in April. He was 61 years old. He was born in Germany, and so far as is known had no relatives.
LAMOREAUX
One of the most shocking accidents that ever happened in Newark occurred Saturday afternoon when David Lamoreaux, one of our well known business men, was caught in a fly wheel on an engine in the Conklin planing mill on Union St. and killed. No one saw the fatal accident, but the body was discovered by one of the Conklins shortly after the death of Mr. Lamoreaux. He had evidently stepped into the mill on his way home to dinner from his own place of business and was perhaps hunting for the engineer when he was caught in the big fly wheel and literally crushed to death. The remains were badly mutilated, and probably Mr. Lamoreaux's death was almost instantaneous after being caught by the belt. The terrible accident created a profound impression throughout the village where Mr. Lamoreaux was well known and universally esteemed.
Aaron David Lamoreaux was born in this village sixty-five years ago and has always resided here. During his younger days when canal boating was at its height he built a boat and did a prosperous business on the canal for several years. About thirty-five years ago, possibly a little less, he retired from boating and bought a half interest in the Arcadia Brick Flour Mills at the lower end of Union St. of W. B. Cornell, who wished to retire from milling and go to farming. Mr. Lamoreaux's partner in the mill at the time was A. W. Hyde, the firm being Lamoreaux & Hyde. Since Mr. Hyde's death P. R. Sleight has been the owner of half of the mill, the firm having been Lamoreaux & Sleight for several years. The firm did a good business and Mr. Lamoreaux was looked upon as one of our most honorable and esteemed business men. The remark has been made by many of his old associates during the past few days, that no man ever lived more honorable and honest in all his business dealings than David Lamoreaux. His very name stands for honesty and integrity in this village, and there are few men in our business community who would be more sincerely mourned than will the deceased.
Mr. Lamoreaux was married in 1870 to Estelle Cronise, daughter of the late Henry Cronise of this village. Five children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Lamoreaux, two of whom, the sons, died a few years ago, their deaths being a very severe blow to the father and mother. There survive three daughters, Mrs. R. P. Kreitler of Lee, Mass., Mrs. J. A. Berger of Staples, Minn., and Miss Sarah Lamoreaux of this village. There also survive three sisters and one brother. The daughters are all now at home and the entire family have the most heartfelt sympathy of the community in their great affliction. Newark has lost one of her reliable business men, a good citizen in every way, and the family have lost a loving husband and father.
The funeral will be held at the residence at half-past two this afternoon, Rev. Carl W. Scovel, the family pastor, officiating.

Mrs. A. C. Halliday, who was stricken with paralysis a few days ago, and had a second stroke later, died yesterday at her home on Main street, aged fifty-seven years.

The funeral arrangements are not complete as we go to press and therefore no announcements can be made here.
WALSH
The death of Miss Ella A., daughter of Patrick Walsh, occurred yesterday just after noon at the home on East Miller street. Miss Walsh had been ill for some time and her death was not unexpected, although it came with just as crushing a blow upon the devoted family.
Miss Walsh was born in Canandaigua but had spent nearly her whole life in Newark where she was well known. She is survived by her father, who was for many years a section foreman on the Northern Central; two brothers, Thomas of Canandaigua, and James of Sodus Point, both railroad men; and three sisters, Mrs. John McCarthy, the Misses Mary and Margaret Walsh, of this village.
The funeral will be held in St. Michael's church at ten o'clock on Friday morning, Rev. J. J. Gibbons officiating.
Miss Walsh was a very devoted Catholic, a member of one of the oldest and most faithful Catholic families in Newark - one whose devotion to the church is proverbial. She will be missed in the church and deeply mourned by a devoted and loving family circle.
RIDLEY
Mrs. Caroline Ridley, widow of the late Matthew Ridley, died at her home in the town of Phelps, Sunday, aged 72 years. She is survived by one son, Irving, of Phelps, and a daughter, Mrs. Jas.

DEATH OF THEODORE BARTON
Occurred at His North Lyons Home Monday Morning
Theodore Barton, one of the most prominent farmers of the town of Lyons, died at his home on South Sodus road five miles north of this village Monday morning. Death was due to a general breaking down of the system. Mr. Barton had been in his usual health up to about two months ago, but since that time has not been strong and the last weeks of his life were those of an invalid. He was one of the most respected residents of the town of Lyons and his death causes general regret.
Though born in Cold Spring, Putnam county, 78 years ago, Mr. Barton had passed practically all his life here, for his parents removed to Lyons when he was still in his first year. As a boy he attended the district schools in his locality and later came to the public school in the village. He was a great reader and a close observer. His father was Elisha Barton, a prominent agriculturist in this town for many years. At the age of 27 years Theodore Barton married Jeanette, daughter of Philip Pulver, of Lyons, and the two went to housekeeping in the house where Mr. Barton died.
Last winter Mr. and Mrs. Barton celebrated their golden wedding, their many relatives in this vicinity and a few intimate friends joining in the celebration. He was a most successful agriculturist and the Barton farm was considered one of the model farms of Wayne county.
During his life time Mr. Barton was Commissioner of Highways, master of Eureka Grange and a member of the Wayne County Agricultural Society. In politics he was a staunch Republican. Besides his widow, one daughter survives, Mrs. Edward Klipple, also four brothers, Daniel Barton and William Barton, both of Lyons, Eben Barton, of Newark and Louis Barton, of Grand Lodge, Mich., and two sisters, Mrs. George Dunning, of North Lyons and Mrs. E. D. Francisco, of Schaller, Ia.

DEATH OF MRS. RYAN
An Esteemed Resident of This Village and Vicinity
Mrs. Katherine Ryan, an estimable woman who had made Lyons and Junius her home for more than half a century, died Wednesday night of last week at the home of her daughter, Mrs. James Horrigan, at the corner of Geneva and Elmer streets. Death was due to a general breaking down of the system, in which heart trouble was the predominant symptom. Mrs. Ryan's maiden name was Broderick. She was born in Cork, Ireland, 73 years ago and her parents emigrated to American in 1855.
The family came directly to Lyons and a few years later the daughter, Katharine, married Michael Ryan and the couple went to the farm house in Junius, where they lived until seven years ago, when her husband having died, Mrs. Ryan took up residence with her daughter, Mrs. Horrigan. Mrs. Ryan was a devout member of St. Michael's Church in Lyons, being at the time of her death one of the older communicants of that body. Three daughters survived. They are Mrs. James Horrigan and Mrs. Clark Starks of Lyons and Miss Nellie Ryan of Buffalo.
WILLIAM J. GLEN DEAD
END GAME SUDDENLY AT HIS HOME MONDAY NIGHT
Angina Pectoris the Cause of Death -
Mr. Glen had been Ill for Some Days but until Friday it was Thought he was Recovering -
Had Lived in Wayne County More than Fifty Years
The death of William J. Glen, who for twenty-five years had been one of the best known residents of this village, and who for more than half a century had lived in Wayne county, occurred at his home on Phelps street Monday night. Death was the result of a struggle with angina pectoris which had extended intermittently over a considerable period of years. Six years ago Mr. Glen suffered an attack but recovered, though never regaining his former strength and health. About ten days ago he suffered another attack, this time more severe than the first. Friday of last week it was considered that his condition was more promising and his friends were led to believe that he was practically out of danger. A relapse occurred, however, and from this he did not recover, the end coming Monday night.
Mr. Glen as not a native of this county but had made his home here practically all his life. He as born at Milton, Saratoga county, in 1837, and came to this county when but thirteen years of age. Even before reaching the age of manhood he became a prominent figure in the life of the town of Rose and Huron and up to the time of his removal to this village he was one of the most conspicuous men of those two towns. He was an ardent republican in politics and took a prominent part in the affairs of the party. During the Civil War and for a year thereafter he was tax collector and constable of the town of Rose and later, 1870, he served as census enumerator for the town of Rose and Huron. In 1873 he was appointed under-sheriff by Sheriff Richard P. Groat and served in that office for three years. Later he represented the town of Rose on the board of supervisors, the years of his service being 1877-1879. In 1880 he came to this village to live and was elected sheriff, serving three years. Since retiring from that office Mr. Glen had pursued no special line of business activity, giving his time principally to the management of his property in the northeastern part of the county.
Mr. Glen married in 1862 Miss Louisa Worden, daughter of Alanson Worden. The wife survives, as does also one son, Attorney Willard Glen of Syracuse. Two brothers and one sister also survive. Funeral services will be held this morning. Burial will be made at Rose.

WILLIAM H. LAUSTER
Death of Prominent Young Man Last Saturday
One of the saddest deaths to occur in this community in recent years was that of William H. Lauster, which occurred at his home on lower Canal street Saturday morning of last week. Mr. Lauster had been ill ten days with pleuro-pneumonia. For a time it was thought that his unusually robust constitution would enable him to resist and up to within two or three days before the end his friends entertained hope of his ultimate recovery. The disease proved too strong, however, and after a fight of ten days the end came.
Mr. Lauster had always lived in Lyons. He was born in this village 28 years ago, a son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lauster. After attending the public school for a number of years he entered business. He was of an ingenious disposition and was repeatedly turning this disposition to account. He established the Lyons Broom Co. and built a factory building on his property on lower Canal street. This industry, in which he associated with himself several Lyons people, was abandoned some time ago on account of the conditions of the broom straw market, which made it impossible to manufacture to advantage in this village. When the Taylor mail bag factory began operation on an enlarged scale in this village Mr. Lauster was offered and accepted the foremanship of one of the departments of that industry and was engaged at that work at the time of his last illness. His death is generally deplored. It is particularly sad because of the fact that he leaves a wife and three small children. Mr. Lauster was a member of the Broad Street Lutheran church, a member of the choir and a zealous worker in all the departments of the church. He was also a prominent member of the local lodge of Maccabees. The other surviving relatives are the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lauster of this village, two brothers, Edward and Frederick Lauster, and three sisters, Mrs. F. S. Parcells of Buffalo, and Mrs. James A. Green and Mrs. F. W. Fink, of Lyons. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, Rev. Albert Heyd of the Broad Street... (article cut off at page bottom)

JEREMIAH GATCHELL DIES OF HEART ATTACK
Stricken with a heart attack while preparing for church, Sunday, Jeremiah J. Gatchell, farmer and a former county and town official, died suddenly about 10:30 a. m. in his farm house three miles north of Clyde. Mr. Gatchell was in his 82nd year.
Slumping toward the floor while dressing, Mr. Gatchell fell against a window and suffered a severe laceration in his neck from the broken glass, according to the family physician, Dr. George Allen, who attributed death to a heart attack.
Members of the family revealed that Mr. Gatchell had been suffering from a heart condition for some time and they constantly feared he might be stricken fatally while driving his automobile. He had been very active, and was in this village Saturday night.
For six consecutive years he served the town of Galen on the Board of Supervisors, taking over the duties for the first time in 1914 and continuing through 1919. Active in Republican politics, he was an assessor in the Galen township for several years prior to being elected supervisor.
Mr. Gatchell was born in 1854, in a log cabin in the town of Huron, near Wolcott, a son of James W. and Mary Gatchell.
He was a member of the Clyde Grange and of Clyde Lodge 300 I. O. O. F., and active in the affairs of Clyde First Methodist Episcopal Church, although not a member of that church.
He is survived by a daughter, Miss Grace Gatchell, at home; a sister, Mrs. Charles C. Shaw, and a brother, Anson W. Gatchell, both of Alton, and several nieces and nephews.
Funeral service were held at the home at 2:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Clyde-Rose highway, the Rev. R. F. Smithson officiating. Rites of the Odd Fellows Lodge, members of which will attend in a body, will be at the grave in Rose Cemetery.
[NOTE: not present on Bill Dean's Rose Cemetery master list, but is listed as being interred in Rose Cemetery on findagrave (Jeremiah J. Gatchell, 1854 - 1937)]
