At a Ripe Old Age

Mr. John Bechtol, a well known resident of Tiverton Township, departed this 
life on the 18th inst.  Mr. Bechtol was born July 24th, 1824, and had he lived 
until the 24th of next July, would have been seventy-three years old.  He 
united in marriage with Elizabeth Decamp, Nov. 8th, 1854.  As a result of this 
union they became the parents of ten children, seven sons and three daughters,
