The funeral will be held from his late home Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, Rev. P. R, Ross will officiate. Mr. Van Duzer was born at came first to Waverly in the winter of 1851, when he opened a grocery store in the Exchange block. He also opened at the réar of his gro- cery store, the first coal yard ever opened in Waverly, During the Civil War he was a purchasing agent for the United States govern- ment. About 1864 he became interested in flouring mi'ls and built the first steam flouring mill in Tioga county on the site of the old Le- high offices on Fulton street. The mill burned ia the spring of 1870. Messrs. Van Duzer & Hallett con- tinued the business, erecting a large warchouse on the same site, but within a year this building also went up in smoke and being with out insurance, the firm lost heavily The small portion of the stock saved from the fire was stored in a grocery across the street, but dur ing the same week, the grocery burned and completely destroyed all that had remained Mr. Van Duzer's next venture was in the lumber business. He built a planning mill and estab lished a lumber yard on Erie street just cast of the James Tobin prop erty, and at the same time had a steam sawmill on Shepard's creck, where he manufactured a large amount of lumber, For seveal years he did a wholesale lumber business of considerable imports ance. The planing mill was wiped out by fire in 1877 and a second mill put up on the sam=z site burned three years later. After a second planing mill fire Mr. Van steam flouring mill on Broad street, In 1882 Mr. Van Duzer established the Sayre Butter Package company James A Clark was Mr. Van Duzer's original partner but in 1887 Mr. Clark’s interest was pur- chased by Howard C. Van Duzer, son of R. D. Van Duzer, and the firm became R. D, and H.C, Van Duzer. In 1900 the Messrs. Van Duzer purchased similar plants at Oxford and Canisteo, N Y.,, and then incorporated under the title of the American Basket & Manufac- turing Company, of which R D Van Duzer was president and H C. Van Duzer secretary and treas. urer. R. D. Van Duzer continued to take an active part in business life until within the past two years, when his advanced age and failing health compelled him to retire, after more than fifty years’ experi ence. We may note, in conclusion, that Mr. Van Duzsr was one of the founders of the Waverly Institute, board of directors, was one of the organizers of the First National bank, its first depositor, and its first president, holding that office seven years, and that he also The littte te daughter of Mr. and ‘Mrs J.

The secretary spoke at considerable length, discussing the organization, needs and acquirements of the army, urging strongly upon his hearers that they support both the army and the pavy in such a manner that both could be maintained at a state of the high. est possible efliclency. He dwelt with emphasis upon the necessity of being prepared for war as the sures! guaran tee of peace. The words of George Washington in this connection, he sald, are even more true today than when they were uttered, for the reason that the country Is now very much closer in touch with the other nations of the world than it was (no the days of Wash- ington.
