Joseph Davenport Suffered An
Apoplectic Stroke and Died
In a Few Hours.
Joseph Davenport, of Beech oods,
died early Sunday morning of apoplexy,
aged sixty-three years and two months.
Thestroke came suddenly. Mr. Daven
port had been in declining health for
some time but gave no sign of the ap
proaching attack until about 4 o'clock
Sunday morning. About that hour be
awakened members of the family and
made it known that he was feeling very
ill. Everything that could be done for
him speedily was resorted to, but in less
than three hours he died.
The survivors of the family are Mrs.
Davenport, to whom be was married in
February, 1868, her maiden name be
ing Mary Daugberty and six children,
namely: Dr. Samuel M., of DuBols;
William S., of Punxsutawney; Mrs.
Jennie McCullough, of Falls Creek;
Robert S., at home in Beech woods; Dr.
James B., Wllklnsburg, Pa., and Mrs.
Anna M. Jones, of Beech woodB. -
Deceased was a member and staunoh
supporter of the Beechwoods Presby
terian church. He had held many of
fices of trust In his township and was an
advocate of progress in everything per
taining to the welfare of the community.
His unfaltering loyalty to the right,
his genial disposition and ever-ready
sympathy made him loved by the en
tire community. It was as a husband
and parent that the character of Joseph
Davenport Bhone with a lustre that
time cannot effaoe. To the loving wife
who had shared the tolls of more than
forty years, his only lament in the
months of declining health that preced
ed his demise was for the loneliness
that his death must bring to her. Born
of Scotch-Irish parentage, and himself
reared in that stern school, he insisted
on implicit obedience in his children;
yet so great was the love he gave them,
so unselfish his devotion' to their wel
fare, that to-day they gaze on the
brosen circle with tear-dimmed eyes
and hearts that are heavy with deepest
sorrow. DuBois Courier. "
Funeral services were held in the
Beechwoods Presbyterian church at
10.00 a. m. yesterday, conducted by Rev.
J. Vernon Bell, of DuBols, the pastor
of the Beechwoods church being at
Denver, Col., attending the General
Assembly of the Presbyterian church.
Mr. Davenport was an uncle of Mrs.
G. M .McDonald and J. M. Dally, of
this place.
Kills Her Foe of ao Years.
"The most merciless enemy I had for
20 years," declares Mrs. James Duncan,
of Haynesvllle, Me., "was dyspepsia.
I suffered intensely after eating or
drinking and could scarcely sleep.
After several remedies had failed and
several doctors had given me up,
I tried Electrio Bitters which cured
me completely. Now ' I can eat any
thing. I am 70 years old and am over
joyed to get my health and strength
back again." For indigestion, loss of
appetite, kidney trouble, lame back,
female complaints, its unequalled.

LAKEMONT PARK.
Wesley Motter Starts on Fourth Year as
Landscape Gardener at this Resort.
While for some years Lakemont park
has enjoyed the reputation of contain
ing a large variety of flowers and more
beautifully designed floral surroundings
than any resort of the kind In the coun
try, and has compared well In this re
aped with the publlo grounds found In
the larger cities, this beautiful spot the
coming season will be doubly entitled to
this honor.

for uniqueness and beauty, will eclipse
anything in that line that has hereto
fore been seen at the place.
During the past winter Mr. Motter
has propagated and cared for thousands
of flower cuttings and plants which
were kept In the park greenhouse. The
more hardy of toe flowers are now

while yesterday some fifteen wagon
loads were transferred to the hotbeds
near Mr. Motter's home at the top of
park hill.
While the plants" which will be set
out are almost numberless, the location
of every one is provided for and Mr.
Motter can tell you now where they
will be seen during the summer. Dur
ing the winter he prepared Mb blue
prints, covering the principal flower
beds, and when the time comes to set
out the plants the assistants consult
the print and find the exact location for
every flower and plant.
Mr. Motter, during his Incumbency
as landscape gardener at the resort has
proyen to be the right man in the right
place. He is tireless in his efforts to
make the resort a place of beauty flor
ally and that his work is appreciated is
