Mr. John Misenheimer Passes Away Friday Evening

 A LANDMARK REMOVED.

Mr. John Misenheimer Passes Away Friday Evening Aged 73 years.
Another one of the landmarks of St. John's church and community was removed at 6 o'clock Friday evening, the 3rd, when Mr. Jno. Misenheimer passed away in death at his home.
His failing health had admonished him for some years that the end was to be looked for at almost any period. But what is in death to be dreaded by such a citizen ever firm in patient and persevering in trial, conservative, genial and kind in all his bearings? He suffered much and death is to be looked upon as a friendly message.
Mr. Misenheimer had passed his three score years and ten being 73 years of age.
He leaves a wife and five living children, Mrs. Moose, Mrs. Boger, Mrs. A Dayvault, Dr. A Misenheimer and Mr. Misenheimer. The funeral rites will observed at St. John's church tomorrow at 10 o'clock and the remains will be laid to rest amid the fathers.
