Death of Mrs. Philip Bartle

Seldom are we called to record the departure of one whose whole life has been so consecrated to all acts and offices of love as Mrs. Bartle's.  Who can ever forget the loving words, the genial welcome of Aunt Betty and Uncle Philip?  With no child of her own to love, she has been the mother to many a sorrowing and bereaved one, and we rejoice that in her last days she found the tender care and ministering kindness of a daughter, and passed her time pleasantly, cheered by untiring watchfulness to the end.  Mrs. Bartle taught the first school in our town, and those who long ago were gray haired men and women remember their teacher.  For nearly seventy years, Mrs. Bartle shared life's joys and sorrows.  Now they sleep in the Cemetery with friends and neighbors around them, leaving to the world the best and brightest example of whatever ennobles and dignifies humanity.  "Let me die the death of the righteous, let my last end be like his."

Death of Father Waldo

Rev. Daniel Waldo, died at his residence in Syracuse [Onondaga Co., NY], Saturday afternoon at half-past one o'clock, in the one hundred and second year of his age.  Few men have lived to attain his remarkable age, and fewer still to remain possessed of so great a degree of bodily strength, mental vigor and elasticity of spirit, as this good old man.  His eyesight had failed him for a year or two past, which has confined him more closely to the house.  four weeks ago Saturday, in feeling his way from one room to another, he mistook his way and fell a distance of three or four steps down.  Though no bones were broken, nor any outward injuries visible, from the time of that fall the good man has been gradually failing till life was extinct.
