Eckert G. Varnes, a well known retired farmer, died yesterday morning at his 
home in Parkesburg in his 75th year, following an illness of about three weeks, 
which was critical from the beginning.  Mr. Varnes had not been in the best of 
health for some time previous to his last illness.

Born on a farm near Parkesburg, Mr. Varnes had lived in that section all his 
life.  He was a son of the late Peter T. Varnes.  For many years he operated a 
farm on Strasburg Road north of the borough and at the same time conducted a 
threshing and bailing business.  About eleven years ago, her retired from 
business and moved to Parkesburg where he had resided since.

He was one of the organizers of the Old Fiddlers Association of Chester and 
Lancaster Counties and was an active member of the executive committee. He was 
also a member of Upper Octorara Church.  Surviving him besides his widow, who 
was Miss Annie Boofter, are four children, May, wife of Roy Connell, Ralph E., 
Paul L. and Helen L. and one grand-child, Mazzie Connell, all of whom live at 
home.

The funeral will take place from his late residence, 520 Second Avenue, Friday 
afternoon at 2 o’clock.  Interment will be made in Upper Octorara Cemetery.
