ISAAC LATSHAW

  As briefly noted in last week's issue, Isaac Latshaw died at his home 
in Curryville early Tuesday morning, May 28.  Death was due to a 
complication of diseases due to advanced age.
  Mr. Latshaw was born at York, York county, this state, November 12, 
1835. He remained at the home of his parents until he was 18 years of 
age, when he came to Morrison's Cove, locating at Woodbury, where he 
was a teacher in the public schools.  Later he took up farming as his 
life occupation, at Curryville, which he continued until some years ago 
when he retired.
  For over forty years he was a member of the Old River Brethren 
church, known in this community by the nick-name Yonkers, and continued 
in the faith steadfastly until death.
  The funeral occurred Thursday morning, May 30.  Services were 
conducted in the Curryville Church of the Brethren, by Rev. D. D. Myers 
and Rev. Daniel Hawbaker, of Lehmaster, Franklin county.  The funeral 
was very largely attended.  Interment was made in Spring Hope cemetery, 
Martinsburg.
  Besides his wife he is survived by one son and three daughters:  John 
Latshaw, Mrs. William B. Kauffman and Mrs. Levi B. Hoover, all of 
Curryville, and Mrs. John H. Summers of Lakemont.  Two sons preceded 
him to the eternal world, Harry, thirteen years ago, and Rev. Elliott 
S., three years ago.
