C,ris, yean old nft ;r an i "ruv'S of ') iIivh. of I'N'tirijy. died at 2:'i0 o'clock Thursday afternoon August 2!), 1918 at his home in York, Pa. Ho was emplnyo'i r.t the plant of the York Manufacturing company prior to his illness, and was a member of Mystic lodge, Knights of Pythias, and of Court Custer, No. 2, Foresters of America. Besides his wife, Mrs. Lucy Cress, thodeceised is survived by four sons, William, Earl, Stewart and Paul, all of York. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs. Sophia Cress; three brothers, Daniel, Frank W. and Roy W., and three testers, Mrs. Henry Jonop, Mm. Emory Hen and Mrs. Ibward Smith, all of York. The funeral wai held Saturday after noon, at 2 o'clock. The Rev. J. Kern McKoe and the Rev. Dr. W. II . Fel'imann had charge of tho services. Interment wis made in Greenmount cemotery. The diwmed wa3 a native of ih's county, and a son at Ada n and Sophia Gress. Mas. Maude Amce Neal. The subject of this notice came to her death on Sunday morning, August IS, 1!)1S, in Akron, 0., at the age of .'id years, o mr.nths and clays. Shu was born at New Grenada, Pa., on the 11th of May, lfcfc'8, being the only - - , . daurhtcr of Mr. and Mrs. L. L. band was phoned, and the family nhvHiri;in palled. All liossible efforts were made to relieve her tal where she suddenly expired before any help could be given. The death was caused by internal hemorrhages, Maude, as she was familiaty called, lived an exemplary Christian Life since youth, tmd was at time of death, an active and useful member of Woodland, M. E. church, affiliated with the several branches in the church. Her sudden death '.is a heavy stroke to her manv friends-es pecially, to her husband and family, and to her father and brothers. As has been stated in the News her father wa3 not present. He had returned as far as Pittsburgh, from a vaca tion among friends in Fulton County, when he received the sad message. Dark are the clouds that now hang over the once exceedingly happy home of a lone husband and orphan children. Maude was one of those good natured ones whose life was full of kindness to all, and doinn things "for otters, caused her much pleasure. She carried sun shine in her soul which was visible in her similes. In one of Stevenson's Essay?, is given this beautiful expression to the abiding things of life, which seems to apply here to the life and history of Maude. It is as follows: It is the history of ourkindeess that alone makes the world tolerable. If it were not for that for the effect ol kind words kind acts kind let ters, multiplying, spreading making one happy through an other, and bringing both bent fits -some fifty, si me one-hundred andsome one-thousand fold, I should be tempted to think our lives a practical joke in the worst possible spirit, lao long as we love, we serve. S" long as wr are loved by otners, I would al most say wo are indispensab'r ; and no one is useless while 1 e has a friend. No achievemant can make life successful tr at lacks the memory of kinkness; and no life, however barren of material gain, can be a failure, tint leaves behind it the fra grance of kindly deeds. Such w?s the life of Maude, Those who knew her best, loved h'jr most. ENID. Mrs. IJjbucoa K.1 wards of Juniati is spending a short time with relatives and friends in tho valley. Mr. and Mrs. W.

The Branch House is the place In .he packing organization where what tho packing plant does for you is put where you can use it. Both are the natural result of growth and development in the living thing they belong to. Swift & Company Branch Houses are located in distributing centers all over the country. 'They are fitted out with refrigerating equipment to keep meat cool, sweet and fresh. Each one is in personal charge of a man who believes in what Swift & Company is doing for people and wants to help do it. They are directed by men who have spent years learning how to get better meat cheaper to the places where it is needed. Meat is shipped to the branch houses direct from the packing plants in Swift & Company's refrigerator cars, in such quantities that it can be disposed of while fresh and sweet. Your meat dealer comes here to buy your meat for you unless some one else can treat him better then we can. So you need the branch house in order to live well; and the branch house and th packing plant need each other.in order to be useful to you. Swif t & Company, U. S.
