Information was received here
on Monday by relatives, that the
Rev. Abel Augustus Marple died
at his home in Norristown, Pa., on
Saturday last at midnight, at the
advanced age of eighty-six years.
Mr. Marple was the Rector of
St. Paul's P. E. Church, Blo:ms
burg, from about June 1846, to
some time in 1848. He was the
Rectcr ot the Church at Wellsboro,
Pa., for some years, and of St.
Luke's Church, Scrantou. It was
during his incumbency there that
the present handsome stone struc
ture was erected.
After many years of active and
useful service there, he resigned,
and accepted the Rectorship of Old
Swedes' Church at Bridgeport,
Pa., where he remained until ad
vancing years and failing health
compelled him to relinquish active
work, and for the past few years he
had lived a retired life.
During his active days he was
one of the most prominent and best
known clergymen in the diocese,
and as we recollect, was for some
time President of the Standing
Committee.
He married Miss Harriet N.
daughter of the late William Mc
Kelvy, of Bloomsburg, by whom
he is survived, and by the follow
ing children: Miss Mary, at home;
William, Superintendent of the
Water Works at Scrantou; Mrs.
Wills, of Norristown, and Charles,
a lawyer, in Manila, Phillipine
Islands. One son, Clark, is buried
in Rosemont Cemetery.
The funeral was held on Wed
nesday afternoon at 3 o'clock.

MAG EE FOR COUNCIL.
James Magee has decided not to
run for President of Council, but
will be a candidate for Member. He
has been elected several times, al
ways by a large vote, and will, no
doubt, succeed again. He has been
a valuable member, and if he and
C. W. Runyon, who is also an in
dependent candidate, are returned,
it is quite certain that the majority
of the council will not be composed
of men who can be controlled by
any one man, or by any set of men,
for their own purposes.
O. B. Ammerman, proprietor of
The Republican, has purchased the
E. C. Reynolds property on East
street, and will move his family
