THE C/VMEKOJM COUNTY PRESS. ESTABLISHED BY C. I?. GOULD, MARCH, 1866. VOL. 41. DEATH'S DOINGS. HUGHES. William J. Hughes, aged 58 years, alter an illness of two years, suffering from the effects of paralysis, passed to his reward on May 2'Jth, 1907, leaving a wife and eight children, viz: Mrs. Lewis Adams, Carl, Lily, Pa., Chas. W. Hornell, N. Y., Edward, Elizabeth, Richard, Margaret, Wm. Rue, of city; and one brother, J£. J. Hughes, ofLilly, Pa., and two sisters—Mrs. Margaret Nissley, Altoona, Pa., and Mrs. Fred erick, East Liverpool, 0., all of whom were present at the funeral including Mrs. E. J. Hughes, of Lilly, Pa., and Mr. Nissley, of Altoona, Pa., and Mrs. Carl Hughes, Lilly, Pa., also three half brothers, who were not present at the funeral. The funeral was held at Free Metho dist Church, on Saturday at 2:30 p. m., the services being conducted by Rev. Bennett, assisted by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Hill, of Bradford. The services were largely attended. Deceased came to Emporium in 1870 from Ebensburg, Pa., and has always .been an industrious citizen and farmer, rearing a large family. He was for many years active in chnrch work and often traveled miles to minister to the afflicted when hardly able himself to leave bis home. The afflicted family, while they will find the loss hard to be come reconciled to, will look with pride to his consistent life work. CLOSE. The funeral of Mr. Edward F. Close, which took place from his late home at Howard Siding was one of the largest ever held on West Creek. Mr. Close was born at Lyons, N. Y., Aug. 25, 1842. He came to this county early in Sept. 1863. When the civil war began, Mr. Close returned to his native state and home city, to enlist, and served his country as a soldier three years. He enlisted twice, the last time in Company E, 111 th New York Infantry and was honorably discharged near Alexandria, Va., June 4, 18G5. Mr. Close was married to Miss Maria Pearsall, Sept. 10, 1805; they spent 12 years of their early life in the state of Mich., returning to Cameron county in 1878. From this happy union one son and five daughters together with their mother survive. It can be truly said of this man"he was not for God took him." He was a devoted husband, a kind father, a desirable neighbor, and a christian gentleman. In his.early life he united with the M. E. Church and as the years advanced his life be came more and more enriched in the knowledge of God, and fruitful in all christian graces. DAY. Seldom, if ever, has the PRESS been called upon to chronicle the death of a citizen more universally respected than was our old time-friend and citizen, John Day, Sr., at the remarkable age of 84 years, eight months and one day— his death having taken place, at 8:30 p m., Thursday, May 30th, 1907, at the residence of his daughter, Mrs. Helen Metzger, on Fifth street. Deceased came to Emporium in 1866, as Supt.of the tannery firm oiHamilton, Martin & Co., in which firm he held an interest. He continued to have charge of this company's interests here until after the holdings passed to the Elk Tanning Co., when he retired to pri vate life, making his home with his children. His life was an eventful one, active and forceful. A short time ago he handed his son John H., a paper which we are permitted to copy: "OBITUARY OF JOHN DAY, WRITTEN BY HIS OWN HAND. I was born Sept. 29, 1822. For the first eighteen years of my life I was a farmers' boy. The next ten a school teacher. The next sixteen an attorney-at law. The next thirty a busi ness man; since then I have liv ed a retired life. JOJIN DAY." Deceased leaves six children, viz: Geo. L., Helen M. Metzger, Herbert, John H., city; Fannie M. Poughkeep sie, N. Y., and Frank F. city. His wife died in 1870. Mr. Day has one brother living, R. L. Day, aged 78 years, who resides at Webster, Mass. THE FUNEHA I. The funeral service* were held at Presbyterian Church last Sabbath afternooi: and WAS very largely attend ed by are c : tizens, all eager to pay a last mark of respect to an upright citi zen and consistent christian. Dr. Johnston, the Pastor, delivered a very able discourse. The singing by a large choir was admirably rendered A 8 WE KNEW HIM File PRESS in looking back over the forty years that we knew the deceased have many, very many, kind remem, brances of his kindness and good cheer. We always delighted to have him call for a visit or talk for we were sure to learn something. While a very co n. servative man Mr. Day always had the greatest desire for the material ad vancement of Emporium and was ever ready to stand his share of expense. In business he was honest to the cent and never knowingly wronged any person. Positive, exact and einphatic-in every question—business, religious or polit ical. Politically he was of the Charles Summer stripe and seldom, if ever crossed the line to assist the enemy of these sentiments expounded by the old school statesmen. Mr. Day in 1882 was the Republican nominee for member of Assembly but failed of election by fifty four votes and often laughingly refer red to his campaign mistakes. He would not allow anythine contrary to his ideas of right to be dono even to secure his election. John Day was an honest man and leaves a shining monu ment for the youth to point to. Fare well, old friend. Base Ball. On Thursday last our people practically all, had a day off, and took occasion to visit the park and witness the base ball games between Empori um and Johnsonburg. The attendance was the largest of the season. The first game opened with Johnson burg at the bat, and their half ended with a goose egg. The locals scored in their half and from that on were un able to count. It was evident from the opening of the second inning that it was an off day for the homo team. Their batting was somewhat below their usual average and it seemed when they did hit the ball it landed safe in a fielder's mit, this and numer ous errors at critical stages gave John sonburg the game 6 to 1. The boys ! from the paper city were morefort.u ! nate, their hits were landed more , safely, and while the errors were num- : erous they were not made at times i that would favor the home team, j Our fans who had not seen the team i play before this seas >n were dissatis- j fied with the showing the home team j made on this occasion. Overturf at i third played his usual good game, as did Liston at first. The second game was a repetition of the first. Hemphill, who had pitched the first game, started the second but was relieved by Weaver. Score 9to 3 in Johnsonburg's favor. Emporium team was defeated at Johnsonburg Tuesday by the score of 13 to 5. St. Marys will play here on Saturday afternoon, June 8. Automobile Accident. On last Thursday afternoon a party of Ridgwaj'ites, composed of Emil Carlson, E. H. Amory, Miss Nine Ravenscroft and Miss Gertrude Grant, met with quite an automobile accident while coming to Emporium. About one-fourth of a mile west of Howard Siding, the machine which was speed ing at a rapid rate struck one of Ship pen's mud holes, upsetting the auto, throwing the occupants down an em bankment, Carlson, the chauffeur and one of the ladies being pinned under the wreck. Mr. Carlsqn had his left arm severely injured and his back was badly burned by the gasoline firing. The other occupants escaped with but slight injuries. Dr. DeLong was wired for and went to scene of the accident and brought the injured man to the New Warner. He was taken home on Sunday, yet very sore and in great pain—his left arm being paralyzed. Our local "auto fiends" promptly re lived the unfortunates by offering the use of their machines. It is a miracle that the ladies escaped injury. Health Commissioner. Frank G.

In this county there was little contest, except for County Treasurer on the Republican side Mr. Henry Ludlam was the only Demo cratic candidate, although many of the organization democrats swore they would defeat his nomination, they laid down like lambs. On the Republican side there were many candidates, five, and they made an active fight for the nomination, but the horrible rainy day kept the vote down in the rural dis tricts.
