Many Homes Have Been Saddened by Death
tho Past Week.
W. N. IIOSLKK.
V. N. Hosier died nt his residence
in Jonestown, this county, Sunday
morning about ten o'clock. His health
for more than three years had been
in a state of impair. The incipient
nature of his complaint was a stroke
of paralysis, which confined him to
the house, until he was aflPcted with
a second which rendered him pract
ically helpless. In tiiis condition he
lingered for a period of several months
during all of which time he suffered
terrible pains.
Mr. Hosier was well known through
out Columbia County, he having
made the aoquaintance of many peo
ple while connected with the oflice of
Sheriff. It will be remembered that
he served as Deputy Sheriff luring
John Mourey's term.
In early life, while yet in his 'teens,
he left home without the knowledge
of his parents and enlisted in the
service of his country. He was
brought home however by his father,
but his great desire to be a soldier
was gratified, and after gaining the
consent of his father he enlisted in
Company I 143rd Regiment of the
Regulai .firmy. He paiticipated in
the memorable Battle of Wilderness.
It was in this battle that Mr. Hosier
lost his right arm. He also carried
with him to the grave other wounds
received in this engagement.
The deceased was about fifty-eight
years of age and leaves a family of a
wife and four children to mourn his
demise. The children are scattered.

Seldom indeed does a more extend
ed period of suffering and affliction
fall to the lot of man. than that whieh
closed the eirthly career of Martin C.
Woodward, at his home on East street,
Monday morning. For six years or
more he had been kept in doors by a
cancer, which at first made its appear
ance near the the left eye. It con
tinued in spite of the best treatment
to 'eat the flesh until the left side of
his face was robbed of all human sem
blance. And then to add to this
great agony, he was the victim of a
severe rupture.
Mr. Woodward served ma iy years as
tax collector of Bloomsburg, and
high constable. He was a capable
official and his service in both in
stances was marked by a conscientious
devotion to duty. He was a man of
few words and a single utterance from
him would always put the wouldbe
peace disturbers to rout.
The deceased was eighty five years
of age and is survived by an adopted
daughter, Mrs. Oliver McHenry of
Berwick.
The funeral took place from his late
residence yesterday morning at ten
o'clock, Rev. H. C. Monroe, of White
Hall officiating.

early as had been his wont, and a
member of the family went to his room
to awaken him. Several calls failed
to bring an answer and upon opening
tne door lie was discovered cold in

come suddenly ' and without any
struggle.

years of age. His survivors are three
children, Rev, W. W. Hartrnan of St.
Mary's, Mrs. Jacob Harris, Buckhorn

CHARLES E. USHER.
The death of Charles E. Fisher,
at his home in Rupert, Wednesday
afternoon, was wholly . unexpected,
and, consequently, a great shock to
the people of that community. His
death was due to Bright's disease, and
alter a. brief illness. On Thursday of
the previous week he was attending
to his duties as fireman on a section
of the P. & R. Railway, a position
he has held for nearly thirty years,
when he was taken ill. He was re
moved to his home, but the disease
refused to yield to medical treatment,
and surrounded by his family, of a
wife and four children, he passe 1
away. The funeral took place on
Saturday. The remains were taken
to Catawifsa for interment.
I1ENJAMIN K. DOI.LMAN
The subject of this sketch died after
a protracted illness at his home in
Catawissa Wednesday of last week.
He had been in poor health for years,
but he patiently endured the prolong
ed agony without complaint. He was
a tailor by trade, but worked very
little at it. The latter part of his life,
up to the time that ill health prevent
ed, he was engaged in the raising and
sale of fruit trees. He was seventy
nine years of age. Four children, one
daughter and three sons, survive.
MRS. HENRY SUMMERS.
Mrs. Henry Summers died Satur-
afternoon at the home of her son-in-law,
Jetemiah Gross on East Third
Street. She was a little past fifty
seven years of age, and is survived by

er above mentioned, Edward, residing
at Rupert, Harvey of Almedia, George
and John of Exchange and Charles of

While driving over the river hill
toward Mainville, Friday afternoon,
Mr. and Mrs. Frank bhutnan of
Espy were precipitated over a rather
steep embankment. Mrs. Shutnan
had her left ankle dislocated. Mr.
Shuman escaped uninjured. The
accident was caused by the horse
backing up. The flies, which are
numerous in the woods at this seas
on of the year had attacked the ani
mal, and he had stopped apparently
in an attempt to shake them off,
when the weight of the vehicle
pulled the horse back and all went
over the bank. The great wonder
is that they escaped without more
serious injury.
R. C. Shannon of Riverside, at
tempted self distruction by taking a
dose of paris green one day last
week. He was iound by his wife,
and a physician was sent for.
He was said to be in strained
financial circumstances, and this
coupled with a sunstroke with which
he was afflicted several weeks ago,
is believed to have caused him to
commit the act. He was a florist and
gardener and has at different times
attended the curbstone market in
this town. He died on Saturday.
