ANSA ENT IKELER,
Death is no respecter of persons.
The king and the pauper, the old and
the young, the rich and the poor,
alike must all succumb to his fatal
grasp. It is peculiarly sad when one
is stricken down who is possessed of
youth and hope and love and all the
comforts of life, and with bright pros
pects of a long and happy and useful
future. The death of Mrs. Anna Ent
Ikeler, wife of Fred Ikeler Esq., is an
instance of this kind. She was seized
with illness on Thursday evening,
April 30th, and while her condition
at that time was such as to cause
some anxiety on the part of the family,
fatal termination was wholly un-
looked for. But on Tuesday eveninc
change for the worse took place,
and from that time on her disease
baffled the skill of the physicians, and
she gradually grew worse until Sun
day last at half past one, when her
sufferings ended.
She was the only daughter of the
late General Wellington H. Ent and
Mrs. Lizzie l'etriken Lnt. General
Ent was a brave soldier in the war of
the rebellion. He was admitted to
the bar of this county in 1 860, and
enlisted in 1861 as first lieutenant,
and was rapidly promoted until he
reached a colonelcy at Gettysburg,
ana was subsequently brevetted
Brigadier General. In 1869 he was
elected Prothonotary of Columbia
County, and died November 5 th,
1 87 1, when Anna was an infant.
This only child was carefully reared
by her devoted mother, and given all
the advantages possible, including a
course at the tioston Conservatory
of Music. On the 10th day of October
1893, she was married to Fred. Ikeler
Esq., second son of President Judge
Ikeler, and the wedding was one of
the most brilliant of recent vears.
After residing at the house of Mrs
Ent near Espy for a time, a beautiful
and luxurious home was erected on
Fifth street, and the young couple
went to house keeping under the most
auspicious circumstances, liut in a
little more than two short years the
icy hand of death has laid its chilling
fingers upon the fair young wife, and
the home is turned to a house of
mourning. Great sympathy is felt
for the husband thus deprived of his
beloved companion, and for the
widowed mother who in her advancing
years has lost an only daughter upon
whom were centered all her hopes
and affection.
Mrs. Ikeler was born on May 14
1870, so that her age was 25 years
11 months and 19 days.
The funeral was held at the resi
dence on Tuesday afternoon at 1
o'clock, the services being conducted
by Rev. C. H. Brandt, pastor of the
Reformed church, of which the de
ceased was a member. The floral
offerings were profuse and beautiful
The remains were encased in a hand
some metallic casket, and were
placed in the Snyder vault in Rose
mont.
J. M. Gidding & Co., the clothiers
commence on Friday May 8th
siock reaucing sale in wnicn every
buyer of clothing in the valley should
feel intertsted. The statement is made
plain and without any exaggeration
whatever. The first weeks of April
were, as every one remembers, very
warm and it created a demand for
summer clothing earlier than usual
Since then however the weather has
been unsettled and as a consequence
the large orders placed with manu
facturers on the strength of the early
warm s'icll kept coming in daily, and
row the first week in May finds the
tables in Gidding & Co's. store load'
ed up with summer suits which must
be moved. Hence this stock reduc
ing sale which is expected to reduce
their stock in very short order. The
prices named on the high grade of
clothing tor which Gidding & Co
are known cannot help but attract
buyers from every nook and corner of
tins valley who will no doubt take
advantage of the exceptional offerings
now placed before them by this re
liable firm.'
