On Sunday, April 5, the remains of Mr. Irvin Detwiler were laid in the silent grave in the New Enterprise cemetery. The funeral services were conducted in the Progressive Brethren church by Elder David C. Long, of the Seventh Day church, to an immense congregation of neighbors and friends. Mr. Detwiler was a son of Samuel Detwiler, who died suddenly about eighteen months ago, the result of an accident while driving a team. His sister, Mrs. James Beach, shortly followed her father to the grave, and now only one of the family, Mr. Levi Detwiler, is left to mourn for the departed brother. The deceased was afflicted for some time with typhoid fever, and died at the age of 35 years, 7 months and 8 days, leaving a wife and four children, who have the sympathies of the community.
