WILLIAMSBURG WAIFS.
 
  On last Sunday afternoon the remains of Mr. Jeremiah Garner were laid 
to rest in the Clover Creek Lutheran cemetery, where they shall await 
the summons on the great resurrection day.  Mr. Garner was aged 34 
years, 4 months and 8 days.  Death was to him no terror, and he died in 
the triumph of a living faith, expressing his willingness to go to his 
long home.  At about 16 years of age he united with the church to which 
he remained devotedly attached until his death.  His pastor, Rev. B. R. 
M. Sheeder, improved the occasion by speaking from the words, "There is 
but a step between me and death." - I Samuel, xx. 3.
