MATTHEW MARSTELLER
Matthew MARSTELLER the tenth child of John and Margaret MARSTELLER, passed 
away, after a lingering illness at the home of his mother in Cardiff, on 
Sabbath morning, March 5, at 9:15 o'clock. Born Dec. 21, 1869, he laid down 
his young life in the very prime of manhood. For nearly a decade, he has been 
more or less of an invalid from tubercular trouble the last five years, 
finding him practically helpless. No man every made a braver struggle for 
life, and, to the very last he believed that God would spare him to take care 
of his widowed mother. It has touched many a heart to watch the devotion to 
each other, of mother and son, and the sympathies of all go out in a special 
way, to the mother again so quickly and sadly bereaved. "But he died in the 
full confidence of the Christian faith, commending his boys and all to the 
kind Father, above, in whom he had so long trusted. He was a member of the 
Heptasophs of Baltimore, as well as a member of Centre Church, from which 
place the last services were held on Tuesday afternoon, with interment in his 
plot in the adjoining cemetery.
"Bury the dead, and week
In stillness o'er the loss;
Bury the dead; in Christ they sleep
Who bore on earth his cross."
