REV. J. W. HAUGHAWAUT.

  Rev. J. W. Haughawaut, who died at his home in Williamsport at 10 
o'clock on Wednesday morning, was born at Kishacoquillas, Mifflin 
county, about 81 years ago.  He entered the Baltimore conference of the 
Methodist Episcopal church in 1837 and by changes in territory became 
successively a member of East Baltimore and then of the Central 
Pennsylvania conference.  His appointments were as follows: 1837, 
Lancaster; 1838, Berwick; 1839, Danville circuit; 1840-41, Lycoming; 
1842, Penn's Valley; 1843-44, Bloomingdale; 1845-46, Sunbury; 1847-48, 
Lock Haven; 1849-50, Bloomingdale; 1851-52, New Bloomingdale; 1853-54, 
Bellefonte circuit; 1855-56, Manor Hill; 1857-58, Warriorsmark; 1859-
60, Newberry; 1861-62, Bloomingdale; 1863, Montoursville; 1864-65, 
Milton circuit; 1866-68, Warriorsmark; 1869-71, Penn's Valley; 1871-74, 
Grahamton; 1875-76, Williamsburg; 1877-78, Port Matilda; 1879, 
Loyalsock.  In 1889 he took a supernumerary relation and in 1888 was 
placed on the superannuated list.  
  Mr. Haughawaut is survived by a wife who is in feeble health.  He 
leaves also, we believe, two sons, but of his family we have no 
information.  He was a quiet, unassuming man, a faithful minister of 
the Word, one whose piety and sincerely and patience are worthy of wide 
imitation.
