TYRONE TOPICS.
Death of a Good Citizen.

  William J. Sausser, whose illness we noticed on Thursday, is dead.  
He died at -- o'clock yesterday morning.  He was a marble cutter by 
trade, having furnished many a stone to be placed at the graves of 
others, and to-morrow (Sunday) afternoon at 2 o'clock he will be taken 
up on the hill and consigned to a resting place among the monuments in 
that silent city, many of which are his handiwork.  He was born in 
Dauphin county and came here fifteen years ago, and was 45 years old 
when he died.  Respected as an honest man and a good citizen is the 
general sentiment.

Died.

SAUSSER - On the 22d inst., at Tyrone, W. J. Sausser, aged 45 years, 4 
months and 2 days.
  A loving husband, a kind father, a worth citizen, a member of the 
Church Council and an earnest Sunday school worker has gone.  His 
countenance lit up with a heavenly smile as the spirit took its flight 
from the body.
  "Though He kill me yet will I trust Him."
