Startling in its suddenness and
protound in the sorrow it created
was the announcement ot the death
of Paul Irvin Traub which was
made Saturday morning. Seldom
has the community been shocked
as it was in this instance. It
seemed as though it could not be
true. Ouly the night before he
was seen and had been in conver
sation with a number of people
when to all appearances he was in
the best of health. He was in E.
M. Savidge's confectionery store
hnut half oast tdn o'clock. When
he left there he went home, par
took of a light lunch and retired.
During the night his mother heard
him breathing heavily but as she
had frequently heard similar sounds
before, paid little head to it. Judge
of the terrible shock to the family
when upon going into his room in
the morning his body was dis
covered cold in death. There were
no indications that a struggle had
taken place. He was lying on his
. . .
back with the arms loiaea across
his breast as though in peaceful
sleep.
The deceased was a young man
whose make-up combined all the
hritrhter and nobler characteristics
of lite. His sudden exit from the
place which knew him and now
knows him no more pierces one's
very soul. To those well acquaint
ed with him, there is photographed
in each heart his image and his
brief life work marvelously beauti
ful. No one can speak too highly
of him. His employers aamirea
him for his integrity and faithful
ness. His companionship was de
lightful and his friendship sincere.
His memory will long be cherished
bv all who knew him.
Paul Irvin Traub was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Jonathan Traub and
lived with his parents in Fernville.
For the past five years he had been
in the employ ot Moyer Bros.,
wholesale and retail druggists. He
