Funeral Services Held Over the Remains of Mrs. Joseph Degan. The Laporte M. E. Church was with filled mourners last Sunday afternoon when services over the remains of Mrs. Joseph Degan were held, conducted by Rev. J. W, Klingler of Dushore. Mrs. Degan departed this life at her home in New York Wednes day of last week, and the remains brought here Saturday evening. At the church the casket was laden with costly floral pieces- one of which was presented by U. .8. Sen ator Clark. These beautiful offer ings were carried by six bearers, presenting a beautiful effect, and much of the harshness of burial was thus softened to the sensibil ities of the mourners. Mrs. Degan was a former resi dent of Laporte having moved to this place thirty-six years ago and resided here for about 17 years. Older residents of this place tell of her many virtues and the trying ordeals that she bore with forti tude. She taught the public school at the tannery and cared for her young children at the same time, and was always cheerful in meet ing adversities. Mrs. Degan was the mother of nine children, three of whom are buried in tlie family plot in Mt. Ash Cemetery. In her was shown all that was good, true and loyal in the mother's love for her children, standing out in bold relief, inspiring love and loyalty in equivalent return. Her children have all attained places of trust and honor in the world The family returned to their homes in New York on Monday. The pious John IV RoakeWltf, I who gives million# ,to , colleges And churches, has. taken, a hand-Jn the coal As people can not get coal they bought, oil stoves and burn kerosene /or warmjb. LasJJfall coal oil was eight cents a galjqn. As people had to have it or freeze MR. Rockefeller only raised the price four cente a gallon and contented himself with the small suip »0f,593 as increased profits for the Standard Oil Co. It must be re membered that a very large part of this sum : comes out of the very poor people of the large cities who canqqt pay from sl2 to S2O a ton for coal. Of all the monopolies the Standard Oil Co. is the closest and most pow erful and at the same tims, the mean est. Last year Mr. Rockefeller., and his brother had an $18,000,000 semi yearly dividend on their Standard ,Oil stock.; Thl» year their profit# will be very much increased. We suggest that Mr. Rockefeller with some of that 98 mjllion should pay off the debt of the Baptist churfih here and establish a Chautauqua, on Mokoma Heights. If he does we will give him a good notice in the Item and will, agree that , he may (at his own expense) put a colored window in the chapel to the . honor of St. John Rockefeller.
