NEWRY

  The funeral of Howard Marble was held at his late home on North 
Bedford street on Sunday afternoon.  Interment was made in the Newry 
Lutheran cemetery.  Mr. Marble was once among the best known business 
men of the town where he had spent his whole life.  In all his business 
affairs he endeavored to act justly between man and man.  He took a 
deep interest in all improvements that were inaugurated for the benefit 
of his native town, serving several years as an active member of the 
town concert.  His sudden and unexpected death was a great shock to the 
community, his active participation and sound judgment will be much 
missed in the town.  His bereaved family and friends have the sympathy 
of the people in their sad bereavement.
