Death of Jacob B. Wissler.
Jacob B. Wissler, who resided in the
village of Warwick, died from general
debility accompanying old age, last Sun-day
morning about 6 o'clock. He was
83 years, 7 months and 24 days old. Mr.
Wissler was born on the old Wissler
homestead along the Middle creek, in
Clay township, on September 4, 1828,
where he was a most successful farmer
and much honored and respected citizen,
having served as school director and
filled other positions of trust. Thirty-four
years ago he retired and moved to
Warwick, where he lived a quiet life.
He served for many years as a director
of the Lititz and Lexington Turnpike
company. He was a firm believer in
the Mennonite faith. He was a most
kindly disposed neighbor and citizen and
lent a helping hand for all deserving
purposes. He leaves a wife and one
daughter, the latter being Mrs. Chris-tian
B. Risser of Warwick. There are
also six grandchildren. The funeral
took place Wednesday A. M., when ser-vices
were held in the Warwick Men-nonite
church, and also at the Hammer
creek church, at which latter place in-terment
was made. Revs. Jonas Hess,
Jacob Hershey and John Bucher offici-ated.

true, is the fact that the very
largest one, a 14-inch catfish, escaped.
'Tis ever thus.
Frank Rader, Emory Wagner, John
Carpenter and Atwood Kreider caught
about fifty catfish a t Zartman's dam on
Saturday.

Death of Mrs. Laura Shenk.
Mrs. Laura Shenk, widow of the late
Dr. J . H. Shenk, died at her home on
East Main street at 4 o'clock A. M. Sat-urday,
April 27, at the age of 73 years,
5 months and 10 days. Ever since last
summer she had been in feeble health,
having been afflicted with several para-lytic
strokes. Mrs. Shenk was a daugh-ter
of the late Dr. Levi Hull, a once
noted physician of this place. She was
born here and lived here all her lifetime
with the exception of two years, when
1 she resided with her husband in Reading.
She was educated at Linden Hall Semi-nary.
In 1862 she was united with the
Moravian church. In 1863 she was
married to Dr. Shenk, who died in
November, 1910. One daughter was
born to the couple, but she preceded her
parents in death twenty years ago.
Her only surviving sister is Mrs. George
Roland, of New Holland, she being the
last one of a family of ten children.
Mrs. Shenk was active in various church
organizations and always interested in
the welfare of the Moravian church.
The funeral took place Tuesday after-noon,
when services were held in the
Moravian church, followed by interment
in the Moravian cemetery. Rev. E. S.
Hagen officiated. The bearers by re-quest
were the same quartet who car-ried
her husband to the last resting
place, viz: A. H. Bomberger, H. C.
Miller, E. L. Garber and J. F. Buch.
The remains lay in a satin-lined cloth-coyered
casket. There

Reuben Koser Dies on the Street.
The oft repeated saying that in the
midst of life we are in death, was veri-fied
in our town last Thursday afternoon,
April 25. Reuben Koser was one of the
assistants of Thos. Steffy in doing con-crete
work. He was loading fine stone
on a wheelbarrow and feeding it into
the cement mixer in front of J. F.
Buch's residence, when he was noticed
to spit blood. He moved toward a tree,
where he leaned against while the blood
began to pour out of his mouth still
more rapidly. He fell into the gutter,
by which time he was fairly covered
with thick clots of blood which fairly
oozed out of him. He was placed in a
more comfortable position while Dr. J.
L. Hertz was summoned, but by the
time the doctor arrived the man had
died without a struggle or even a move.
The entire affair from the time he was
effected until his last breath was drawn
was over in fifteen minutes. His grown
son happened to come the way just
about the same time and naturally was
deeply affected and thought it almost
impossible that his fath .r was no more.
He said he never knew of the father
ever having had a hemorrhage or any
other ailment. He at once went home
and apprised his mother and in a short
time afterward the lifeless body fol-lowed.
Mr. Koser moved to Lititz
about the first of April, having purchas-ed
the home of Henry Niess on Willow
street. He came here from near Lawn,
Lebanon county. His age was 50 years.
Besides his wife, he leayes two sons and
one daughter. The funeral was held on
Sunday morning, when short services
were held at the house by Rev. Geo. D.
Clarke. The remains were then con-veyed
to the Mennonite meeting house

Will Plant 80 Acres of Rice.
Elmer Weidman, brother of our towns-man
A. G. Weidman, who went west
some years ago, and now resides near
Fisher, Ark., in renewing his subscrip-tion
to the RECORD writes as follows:
" I am living on a large rice farm. The
weather has been cold and very wet
this winter but the breezes from the
Gulf are fine. Have cleared 80 acres
and will plant it in rice. There are
fruits of all kinds on the f a rm and plum,
cherry, and peach trees are loaded with
fruit. There are over a hundred fruit
trees and fifteen grape vines on the

On Monday, April 8, the Lititz Bretzel

started a "salesmanship" contest, open
to all boys of Lititz and Warwick,

closed on Saturday. Each half-pound
bag of bretzels which were put
out at the bakery during the interven-ing
dates contained a blue slip, giving
credit of one, while the pound bags had
two blue slips. The bretzels sold at the
store also contained slips. A number of
the boys worked the town from door to

Bridge Needs Repairs.
For some time there has been a'hole
about a foot in diameter in the wooden
bridge across what is known as the San
Domingo creek, on the road leading
from this place to Brunnerville, and it
came near being the cause of a horse
breaking a leg the other day. Leon,
son of Butcher E. F. Lutz, was driving
over the bridge when the horse tread in
the hole wjth one of his fore legs and
went down. Luckily he was going at
a walk and was immediately halted. It
is a bad spot and should promptly be
repaired by the supervisors of Warwick
township before a serious accident and
damage suits result.
