Edward Eckert Suffers
Fatal Heart Attack
Admitted to General Hospital |
Thursday night, suffering from a
heart attack, Edward Eckert, 74,
resident of Sweet Valley for the past
forty years, died Saturday morning.
He had suffered a similar attack
two weeks earlier, ‘but had been dis-
charged from the hospital. An en-
thusiastic hunter, he had made plahs
for shooting his deer this season, and
had already been in the field during
small game season. One of his main
delights was lending a hand with the
building of his grandson, Donald
Gross’ new house adjacent ‘to his
own.
A woodsman, a rugged man who
could be thrown by two men but
not kept down, he had worked for
the Turrell Lumber Company when
North Mountain was a seemingly un-
limited source of lumber, also for
the Ricketts and Central Pennsyl-
vania Lumber Companies.
He and his wife, the former {Stina
Speary, observed their 54th wedding
anniversary May 8.
He was born in Nanticoke, son of
the late Daniel and Melinda Sobers
Eckert. He belonged to Sweet Val-
ley Game Protective Association and
attended Sweet Valley Christian
Church.
Surviving are: his widow; three
children: Mrs. George Gross, Sweet
Valley; Mrs. James Kurfees, Wash-
ington, D. C.; and Harold, Buffalo;
five grandchildren and one great-
grandchild; brothers: Thomas,
Schenectady, and Henry, Sweet Val- |
ley. |
Services were conducted Tuesday
morning from the Bronson Funeral
Home, Rev. Kirby Jones officiating.
Burial was at Mossville.

THE DALLAS POST, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1962
ADVENT
By Rev. Francis A. KaNE
We are all aware of the Feast of Christmas and the prepa-
rations that it entails...
These
the purchasing of gifts, the Lg of cards and in general
preparations usually include
the spirit of remembering. However, we are mot as well aware
of the preparation that the Church sets aside so that we might
spiritually prepare ourselves for the coming of our Divine
Saviour and thereby open to Him our hearts in everlasting
gratitude for
the fact that He had come to us in the First
Christmas in order that He might redeem us.
The four weeks of preparation are called the Season of
Advent.
people awaited the coming of
It reminds us of the 4,000 years that the Israelitic
their Saviour. And so mow it
is the time of joyous anticipation as well as penitential sacri-
fice. Nature itself has set aside
her verdure and only the ever-
green, symbol as they are of the eternal, remain in striking con-
trast to the naked branches of the trees which are a reminder
of the passing of all thing mortal and of the reality that we
too stripped of all things earthly will face some day the winter
chill of death.
But death is farthest from our thoughts as we prepare
in Advent.
Advent is a preparation for life.
Abundant life.
During this penitential Advent Season life becomes all the
more endearing because it is the reason for our mortification
and sacrifice.
The Infant Christ is the essence of life and, as
| He is so often pictured, holds His extended arm in an embrace
of love so we may share His life.
The four weeks of Advent
are a time of great opportunity to manifest our love for this
Infant by a solid spiritual preparation through prayer rather
than forgetting in our material cares the true spirit of the
Advent Season.
Christ came to us because He loved us.
We must prepare
ourselves if we are going to share that love. In the words of
the Epistle that is set for the First Sunday of Advent we read,
“Knowing the season, it is now the hour for us to arise from
sleep. For mow our salvation is nearer than when we believed.
The night is passed and the day is at hand. Let us therefore
cast off the works of darkness,
and put on the armor of light.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunken-
ness, mot in debauchery and
wantonness, mot in strife and
jealousy. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not
provision for the flesh and its concupiscence.’
