Death of .Miss (iciiKcnhach.
Through a letter to Miss Hess
Trout from Dr. I. S. Garthwaite,
we learn of iho death of Miss
Lydia Gengeubach at Denver,
Colorado. The young lady was a
summer visitor at Webster Mills
in ninety-woven, and soon after
was obliged to seek health for
broken :'hgs in the climate of
Colorado. There she was joined
about a ye ir ago by her brother
Dr. Frank P. Gengenbach, of
Philadelphi who gave her all the
attention t'uit medical skill or
brotherly a'f jctiou could suggest,
llt-r remaii s were brought to
Philadelphia '.' r burial.
Dr. Genge:;b;t;:b is now the last
of his line all ot his brothers and
sisters having heard the call of
the Master to ei.'.er the Heavenly
re.t.
The kind sympathy of many
friends is extended to him iu this
hour of bereavement and loss.

MRS. ELIZA ALEXANDER.
We were shocked to hear of the
death of Mrs. Alexander at her
home near Webster Mills on Fri
day evening, November 4. Her
pge was 73 years and 1 month.
Interment at the Union cemetery
on Sabbath afternoon. Mrs. Al
exander whose maiden name was
Eliza Hiveus, was born in Fulton
county, and was married to Mr.
Andrew Alexander, deceased, of
Ayr township. She is survived
by four children Mrs. Amanda
linger of Franklin county and
Mrs. Annie Peck, James, and
Miss Jane, of this county.
Although not strong physic
ally for many years, there was
no evidence, up to the moment of
death, that she was not as well
as usual. A few moments after
leaving her daughter in the kitch
en, she was found sitting on the
couch in the sitting room, dead.
Through the tender mercy of her
God she had been saved what we
most dread long nights and days
of suffering and weary waiting.
Mrs. Alexander was a faithful
member of the Presbyterian
church for 47 years, and gave
evidence of this in being seen so
frequently at se. vice after having
made the journey from her home,
six miles distant, on horseback
every extreme of weather.
Of such it is written: She that
overcometh shall inherit all
things.
To the family, in which death
has entered three times during
the past year, we offer our ten
derest sympathy.
Modern Surgery Surpassed.
"While suffering from a bad
case of piles I consulted a physi
cian who advised me to try a box
of DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve,"
says G. F. Carter, Atlanta, Ga.
"I procured a box and was entire
ly cured. DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is a splendid cure for piles,
giving relief instantly, and 1
heartly recommend it to all suf
ferers. " Surgery is unnecessary
to cure piles. DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve will cure any case.
Cuts, burns, bruises and all oth
er wounds are also quickly cured
by it. Beware of counterfeits.
