Death of John Poarch.
John Poarch, the sixteen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. W. Poarch, died
Wednesday morning at about eight o'clock after an illness of only a few
days.  While he had been complaining of being unwell for several days yet
it was not until Tuesday afternoon that his condition was considered
serious, and despite the best efforts of physicians and friends death came
to relieve his suffering a few minutes before eight o'clock Wednesday
morning.
The deceased was a young man of excellent character and one whose friends
and acquaintances predicted for him a successful future.  He was a pupil
in the High School of Sayre, and among his schoolmates there was genuine
sorrow and many expressions of sincere regret when the news of his sudden
death became known.
Services were conducted by Rev. T. J. Means at the home Wednesday
afternoon at four o'clock at which time the High School pupils attended in
a body.  The remains were laid to rest in the Carter cemetery this morning
where many friends of the deceased and of the family were present to pay a
tribute of respect and love to the life of one whose sudden death has cast
a shadow of sorrow over all those with whom he was acquainted.  The
parents and relatives of the deceased have the sincere sympathy of all in
their sorrow and affliction.
