DEATH OF A MINISTER.

  Rev. Thomas F. McClure, an old and very highly esteemed member of the 
Central Pennsylvania Conference, died in Wolfsburg, Bedford county, on 
Monday.  The cause of his sudden death was the rupture of a blood 
vessel.  He filled all his appointments on Sunday; came home on Monday 
morning and was stricken down in half an hour afterward.  He was 
perfectly conscious to the last, triumphantly happy, and made all 
necessary arrangements for his departure, even to the keeping of his 
body for a week prior to burial.  He was 62 years of age.  His funeral 
will take place at Everett on Sunday the 28th, the services being 
conducted by Rev. Dr. Thompson Mitchell, presiding elder of the Juniata 
District.
