Obituary.
The funeral obsequies of Jesse 8. Fredrick
took place from his late residence, in Uniun
' township, at 11 o'clock, Nov: 20th, 1895. The
sermon was preached by his pastor Rev. Geo.
King, from Rev. 14th chapter, 13th verse. A
large concourse of relatives and friends were
present to pay a last tribute of love and re-
spect to the memory of one who was a kind
and obliging citizen, a devoted companion
and a loving father.
One who so unexpectedly and with but
a few hour’s warning was called from earth in-
to that unseen realm whence no traveler eer
returns.
Jesse Fredrick was born in Millmont, Un-
ion county, Dec. Gth,- 1828. Died in Union
township, Nov. 17th, 1895, age G6 years, 11
months and 11 drys. He was a youth of high
moral principles, and at the age of 22 espoused
the cause of Christ'and identified himself with
the M. E. church.
On the 21st of April, 1853, he was happily
married to Sarah J. Bodle, of Fillmore, who
survives him and whose life he blessed
with all the pleasant memories that can
cluster around a blissful companionship
thus abruptly closed and a happy home made
desolate. Jesse has made for himself a rec-
ord worthy the emulation of the true and the
ood who were blessed and honored with his
Tn, He like all other men of real
firmness and worth had his faults, but each
little fault was eclipsed by so many virtues
that we who knew him best look upon his en-
tire life as a halo of light from beyond the re-
ions of the everlasting sunset, casting its ra-
: of glory and beauty into this dark
world of heartaches and disappointments.
He leaves a wife and four children to
mourn the loss of a father’s care and
guidance. He has often expressed as the
greatest desire of his heart to be able to set
such an ex e before his children as would
be worthy of their emulation.
The children are Mrs. Tillie Hoover, of Ty-
rone, Mrs. Annie Rooler, Casstown, Ohio,
Benjamin and Mrs. Mollie Holt who are at
home.
The pall bearers were all his nephews, W.
C. Miller Esq., of Clearfield. Harry Rone, Geo.
Lee, Westley Fredrick, Wm. and Ira Bodle.
The family extend their heartfelt thanks to
their neighbors and friends for their kindness.
A FRIEND.

As the Holiday Season is so near at hand we wish to remind our friends and
the public, generally, that we are well prepared to supply all demands in our line.
Almost all kinds of goods are now so low in price that a good American Christ-
mas Dinner is within the
reach of all.

have not overlooked the every day substantials.
‘We have Pillsbury’s ‘‘best’”” Minnesota Flour and the leading brands of home

and creamery Butter.
We have just received a lot of bright clean New York state Beans that we are sell-
ing at the low price of five cents per quart.
The entire lot of twenty-two bushels will
go at that price (no advance) but we can hardly get any more as good as these to sell
at the same price. Don’
t miss.them, They’ are fine.
One of the most satisfactory lots of goods we have to offer is our own Mince
Meat. Every ounce of material in it is sounds clean and of the finest quality, nothin
equal to it has ever been obtainable. Price, ten cents per pound.
