About eleven o'clock Mrs. WEBSTER was awakened by a noise outside, and on looking out saw a horse and wagon standing in the driveway. There was a lighted lantern on the wagon.

In the death of David BRAINARD at his home on East Main St., Geneva, O., August 15, 1900, in the 80th year of his life, we lose an estimable citizen noted for the quietude of his ways, minding strictly his own affairs, and never hindering others from doing the same. Harpersfield, Ohio, was his birthplace, and April 10, 1821, the first day of his long and eventful life---events deeply interesting and of volume sufficient for a many paged book. In 1845, Miss Hannah SHEY became his wife, and with eight sons and one daughter. Seven of their children yet live to cherish his memory. Mr. BRAINARD enlisted in the army for the preservation of our states union in 1861, and served his country well as a soldier until 1863, when because of disability he received his honorable discharge from further service in the ranks of war. The funeral occasion was made interesting and profitable to the many in attendance by the well spoken workds of Elder Hayden, respeeting Job's problem and the problem of the ages: "If a man die, shall he live again?" The speaker's conclusion was that it was no more a problem, Jesus the Christ having solved it by his resurrection from the dead and thereby demonstrating immortality and life eternal. Gilbert HARMON, of Ashtabula, aged 68 years, fell from a load of oats a few days ago and died the 15th from the effects of the accident. Mr. A.G. VAN LEUVAN, who died at Ellis Junction, Wis., July 24, 1900, after three days' illness, was born at Portland, N.Y., November 11, 1841. He was one of a family of five children. Two brothers and an aged mother survive him. He spent his boyhood days on the farm and lived a very quiet uneventful life until 1861 when he enlisted, September 2nd, in Co. A, 111th Pennsylvania Infantry. He was discharged September 4, 1864, at Philadelphia. He was wounded in the battle of Chancellorsville and suffered the loss of his left arm. The shell which took off his arm killed and wounded nine other persons. The Captain of his company wrote to his father informing him of the great sorrow that had come into his life. In closing the captain spoke of him as "a good boy and a brave soldier." While he lay sick and wounded on his cot in the hospital and while thinking of home and friends far away, he asked God to give him patience and strength to bear the loss of his arm, and never afterwards was heard to complain but would often point with pride to the empty sleeve. In 1864 he entered Bryant and Straton's Mercantile College of Buffalo, where he graduated two years later. Warren P. Spencer was one of the teachers in the college at that time. He was married to Miss Maria J. WHITE, at Westfield, N.Y. March , 1877, with whom he lived happily until the day of her death. They united with the West Portland Baptist Church of New York, some seventeen years ago; five years later they came to Geneva to live and joined the First Baptist Church of this place. He was also a valued and honored member of Bowers Post, No. 28, G.A.R., of Geneva. The circumstances of his death were particularly sad as he died among strangers and far away from home, within ten miles of his brothers home where he expected to spend many happy hours. When told that death was near he met the disappointment like a brave soldier and said "It is all right." The One in whom he had trusted for many years was with him as he fought the last battle of life and yielded a victim to death. The funeral occurred Sunday, July 29th, at his late home, Vine Street. The pastor of his church, the Rev. George Lord, who conducted the funeral services, spoke of the deceased as "a man who, although crippled somewhat through life and accustomed to struggles and disappointments had been true to self", and thus echoed in the hearts of the many veteran comrades who stood about the door of his pleasant home during the ceremony. The body was lid to rest in the old cemetery by the side of that of his wife. A soldier's life is ended, His spirit rests with God. His work on earthis o'er, His form is beneath the sod. But memory still will linger In the hearts of those who grieve, And think with loving kindness Of one with the empty sleeve. [Note: There is a photo of Mr. Van Leuvan with this obit.] ---- Administrator's notice: Notice is given that R.C. EWING has been duly appointed as Administrator on the estate of Alfred G.

Church of Ashtabula was the guest last week of his cousin Rev.E.H. ROBERTS and Miss Carrie [illegible] Miss May WOOD and a younger [illegible; likely it says sister] of Pittsburg are the guests of their aunt, Mrs. J.C. HASKELL. The family reunion at Ro [illegible] NTGOMERY's last Thursday was a very pleasant occasion. Mrs. C.R. CASTLE had the misfortune to fall recently, striking her [illegible] side against a lounge, and bruising and laming her quite badly. The Ladies' Aid Society will be entertained this week Wednesday afternoon by Mmes. O.F. and G.E. BERRY. Rev. E.H. ROBERTS and the Misses Carrie ROBERTS, Alta HASK and Bertha AUSTIN went on Monday morning to Andover to attend the Sunday School convention there this week. Mr. and Mrs. L.B. MONTGOMERY who have been staying with his parents since the fire, left Monday morning for Warren where Mr. MONTGOMERY [illegible] a very desirable position. Much sympathy is felt for them in the loss of their home. Even when propery is fully covered by insurance, a fire consumes treasures that can never be replaced. DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE ON MUNGER AVENUE About 11 o'clock last Wednesday night the fire bell rang and the company hastened to the property of Lewis MONTGOMERY, on Munger Avenue. The first one on the grounds was Mr. Hugh BARNES, who happened to be on N. Broadway near by. He raised a ladder but the fire had got too much of a start for many of the goods to be saved. No one knows how the fire caught, although it is conjectured that some old clothing left by the painters who had been at work on the building may have taken fire from the action of the heat on the oil in the cloth. The fire origiated in the south west corner of the building, probably the dining room or kitchen. heaving received such a start before the company were aroused by the bell, all their efforts were fruitless and the building is now a total wreck. Mr. MONTGOMERY had bught the place about 4 years ago. He had moved his goods into the house about three weeks ago, his family having occupied it since then; although at the time of the fire his wife and little son were in North Geneva and he himself was in Warren. Some misleading facts have been published about the matter. A TIMES representative interviewed Mr. MONTGOMERY, and the facts as here stated are all correct, Mr. MONTGOMERY had $600 insurance on the house and $400 on the goods, both in the Martin agency. It will be remembered by some that this is the house off of which Mr. Hiram B. HOVEY fell, sustaining injuries which caused his death a few days afterward. This happened in the fall of 1895 when the house was being constructed. Since then Mrs. KINGDOM, who was living in the same house, died very suddenly; and other unfortunate things have occurred here which would indicate to the superstitious that a sort of evil omen seemed to hang over the place. This last occurrence, however, has put an end to any further misfortunes at that place. ---- East Trumbull: Aug. 21-O.C. PARKER and wife attended the BECKWITH family reunion, held [illegible] New Lyme last Wednesday, at the home of Curtis BECKWITH.
