Jacob Conrad Hassinger, son of
Henry and Catharine Hassinger was
born in Franklin township, Union
county, (now Snyder) Pa., on the
21st day of Dec, 1833, and departed
this life in Middleburgh on the 6th
day of April, 1897, tged 63 years, 3
months and U days.
The deceased was baptized by the
Rev. William Gartnan on the 9th day
of February, 1831 He was received
into church fellowship by Rev. J. P.
Shin del, on the 17th day of Mav.
1831, and proved an earnest faithful,'
consistent member of HasBinger's
Evangelical Lutheran church until
the end.
On tht. 10th day of January, 1850,
he together with Sarah Jane, daugh
ter of Andrew and Hannah Witten
myer launched their fortuues upon
the matrimonial sea of liie,--a union
which has proved particularly happy
and prosperous.
Four children came to gladden the
hearts of the happy couple, Emma,
intermarried with J. A. Oldt, Alice,
intermarried with F. P. Kuster, an
only son, Geo. W., and Harriet, in
termarried with F. C. Bowersox,
all of whom together with eight
brothers and Bisters remaiii to mourn
their great loss.
Mr. Hassinger came from that
staunch, sturdy Germa i extraction
who have made Pennsylvania con
spicuous for thrift, industry and
conservatism.
Born and reared on the fArm. ha
chose agriculture as a life's voca
tion. Unassuming, methodical earn.
est and unusually active, he won
success by hard work wherein oth.
jofiMtif better. Ue was always one of
the foremost to push to successful
completion any enterprise or pro
be for the
public good. He was a man of fow
words, but in his quiet, unobtrusive
way, he usually hit upon the plan
that promised the greatest good to
the greatest number.
The citizens of the community in
which he lived repeatedly showed
their confidence in him by selecting
him as school director, overseer of
he poor and councilman.
In his death, the commuuity loses
an earnest, honest, patriotic citizou,
a man who held himself above re
proach and who at the close of life
could have truthfully aaid, "I havo
uo enemy j" tho wife an affectionuto,
home-loving hubband. and the chil
dren an iudulgent, loving father.

Robert Smith.
Robert Smith, who resided about
1 mile north of town, in Frankliu
township, died April 1st, 1897. He
had been ill for more than a year.
Most of the time he acted as agent
for farm machinery and implements
and was q uite successful. He leaves
a widow, 3 sons and 3 daughters to
mourn his loss. He was buried in
the Middleburgh cemetery. Rev.
Buddinger preached the funeral ser
mon in the U. B. church. Deceased
was 58 years of age.

not come to her and cleaned the

were not all killed. Their house was
