Death of Mrs. H. Few.

  Mrs. H. Few, of Lebanon, widow of Beale Few, who preceded her to the 
better world some ten years, died at her home at 4 o'clock yesterday 
morning, after an illness of about a week, which, until a few hours 
before her death, was not regarded as serious.  Pneumonia developed, 
however, with alarming malignancy and in a few brief hours her eyes 
closed forever to the scenes of earth, and opened on the eternal joys 
of heaven.
  Mrs. Few was a native of Columbia, Lancaster county, and had reached 
the ripe age of 72 years.  She was a faithful member of the Methodist 
Episcopal church for over half a century, and was always active in 
church work.  She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Betty Withers, of 
Columbia, and five children - Mrs. C. Shenk, of Lebanon; Mrs. Rev. 
David Smyth, of East Bangor, Northampton county; Charles W., of 
Lebanon; William and Joseph, of this city.  We have heard nothing 
concerning the funeral arrangements, but Messrs. William and Joseph Few 
and their families will leave for Lebanon at 7 o'clock this morning to 
attend the funeral.
