may be, if not to spend a short time
under the paternal roof. Among the
many who were here during the
Christmas season just past were these ;

o'clock. Mr. Lee had in poor
health for a year or more, and on sev.
eral occasions broke down, but in a

farming. He was 8 member of the

his support during the campaign, and
his vote at the poll.
The wife of Mr. Lee was Miss
Rebecca Fleisher, who survives, as do
also three children ; namely, Arthur
B., now Bheriff of Centre county,
