OBSEQUIES.

... On Friday afternoon the remains of John W. Green, of Duncansville
and Joseph Stiteler, who died in Allegheny city, was laid in the
Presbyterian cemeetery.  Joseph Stiteler, who died before he was 20
years of age, was born and raised in our town, and up to the time when
he left us, a member of Captain A. M. Lloyd's Sunday school class, the
first knowledge many of his classmates had of his sickness was when
they beheld his remains taken to the cemetery.  How true it is that in
the midst of life we are in death.
