FUNERAL OF JOSEPH BYERS.

  The funeral of Joseph Beyers took place Wednesday at 10 o'clock, from 
the Reformed Church at Millerstown.  The services were conducted by 
Revs. Jacob and Simon Snyder, of the Mennonite Church, of which 
denomination the deceased was a consistent member for many years.  So 
large a number of sorrowing relatives and friends were in attendance, 
many of which could not gain admittance to the church.  After the 
delivery of impressive discourses by the Revs. Snyder, his remains were 
borne to the Nicodemus graveyard, and deposited by the side of his 
wife, there to await "the sound of the last trump, when the sea and 
earth shall give up their dead."
