PASSMORE - Edwin Passmore, [SRGP 83273] one of Mansfield's
valued citizens, died at the Blossburg hospital Nov. 18 [1919], after a
short illness. He was taken to the hospital for treatment for kidney trouble
and pneumonia developed, which led to his death. Mr. Passmore was one of
the kind of citizens who is valuable to any community, and he had made
his worth known in Mansfield and vicinity. He was a shoemaker by
profession, and he made it his profession. He enjoyed the work and his
work was par excellence. We have often thought of Elbert Hubbard's saying:
"Though a man live in the densest forest, if he make a better mouse trap
than his fellow man, the world will make a beaten path to his door," in
connection with Edwin Passmore and his work, says the Advertiser. He had
saved part of his earnings and was well able to go into business, in fact
did own a drug store here for a while, but he liked his work better, and
he "stuck to his last," as the saying goes. He had been school director
for many years, and had also served on the borough council. Here his work
was marked with the thoroughness which he gave to everything that he engaged
in. He was a man of good principles, faithful and loyal to himself, to
his duties and to those who placed their trust in him. Mr. Passmore was
fifty-three years old. He had been married about 29 years. He is survived
by his widow and one son, Walter. There also survive, his mother, two sister,
Mary and Prudence [Mrs. Harry Beach, of New Haven, Conn.], three brothers,
Fred C., of Binghamton, NY; George, of Detroit, Mich., and Asa, who has
been living at home.

VAN NESS, CELIA REYNOLDS (SRGP 2089)
Celia Lull Reynolds, cherished wife of Peter V. VanNess, died
at her home in this boro at 12:30 last Friday afternoon, July 30, 1897,
aged 74 years 8 months and 18 days. Mrs. VanNess had been a great
sufferer for six years from an affection of the right foot and ankle.
It followed a run of pneumonia and from the first was extremely painful.
It became apparent several weeks since that her days of suffering were
nearing an end. Toward the last her mental faculties wavered, but
did not finally succumb until the evening before her death, several hours
after she had welcomed home from a distant state the last of her children,
a loving son. She was born near Rutland, Vt. Her father, Mr.
John Reynolds moved to Pennsylvania when she was six years old and settled
upon the farm in Rutland township upon which his grandson, Mr. W. H. Reynolds,
now resides. Her childhood and youth gave promise in numerous ways
of those qualities of womanly grace and worth that so endeared her to the
friends of her maturer years. She taught the district school near
her home for several terms, and not infrequently had for pupils boys and
girls several years her senior. She united early in life with the
Rutland Hill M. E. church. Her devotion to the master thus avowed
continued through life. To testify to His worth, to labor meekly
for the advancement of His cause, to share the burdens of His children,
were her lifelong delights. The saintly character and example of
aung Celia, as she was lovingly called, were an embodiment to many of the
ideal christian life. She was united in marriage with Mr. P. V. VanNess
on March 18, 1846. Three children had preceded her to the home beyond,
an infant son and two daughters, Ella (Mrs. Oscar Richmond), who died in
April, 1885 and Minnie, who died in the spring of 1888. Besides her
husband there are left of the immediate family of the departed two daughters
and four sons, George Z. Of Troy; Henry P. Of Lamb’s Creek; John R. Of
Mansfield; Mathuen, of Orvisburg, Miss Hattie, Mrs. C. O. Loveless, of
