—Mr. Simon Rote of Aaronsburg de
parted this life 011 the Ist inst, having
arrived at the age of 07 years,s months
and 12 days.
On the 3rd of J/arcli, lie was strick
en with paralysis whilst on the moun
tain, in company with a small boy,
chopping wood. For some time lie lay
in the snow exposed to the cold, in a
helpless condition. As soon as help
could reach him he was brought to his
home and tenderly cared for by his fam
ily and sympathizing friends. lie had
lost his speech and the U3e of his light
limbs. From the start his condition
seemed to be hopeless. lie gradually
grew weaker until the day of his peace
ful death. During all the time of his
affliction, except at intervals near the
close of his life, he remained perfectly
rational. He fully realized his condi
tion and patiently awaited the end.
At times he suffered intense pain in the
paralyzed parts, but he bore it all with
out a raurmer, and constantly gave ey
idence of a tiiumphant faith in Christ.
A peaceful trust in God possessed
his soul.
The deceased was a good, peace-abid
ing citizen, a loving husband and kind
father. He possessed a cheerful, hap
py disposition. When first he became
a citizen of this valley, as a young man,
he followed the trade of blacksmith at
Woodward, and later in life, for many
years, at Anronslnirg. Along with his
trade ho was a popular auctioneer,and
in this capacity his services were al
ways in great demand, so much so, that
the ncccessnry exertion wrought in him
an injury that followed him through
life. 110 was a consistent member of
the Reformed church at Aaronsbnrg
for the period of 48 years. During a
a large part of this tune he served bis
Master in the ollice of Deacon. lie pos
sessed peculiar fitness for the duties of
this ollice. In it he was a willing and
faithful servant of tlio church. lie
will be greatly missed in the congrega
tion as one of its strong, active mem
bers. He has gone to his reward !
The funeral services on 4th inst, were
attended by a large concourse of peo
ple. The pastor, who was assisted by
the Rev.John Tomlinson, preached on
Nehemiali 7:2, "He was a faithful man,
and feared God above many/'
