BURT - The death of Mrs Francis Ellery Fitch occurred at her home, No.256 West Fifth street, yesterday day morning. This news was passed among her wide circle of friends yesterday. Many had an insight of her sterling qualities of mind and heart and these felt the loss keenly as a personal one. In the home she loved and in the church where her work was so beneficial this irreparable loss will be heartfelt. Surrounded by her loved ones, she quietly said: "Good-bye." and passed peacefully away to a better land where a resting place awaits her. Expressing no tear for the unseen, smiling and loving, she only regretted that she could no longer remain for those left behind. This had always been her first thought, and those who have enjoyed her hospitality, which was almost boundless, as well as the more intimate circle who make up the home,, feel that the light has gone out. Every care and thoughtfulness which love could suggest were ministered to her,, but all proved unavailing, all was in vain for the disease which had been preying upon her vitality, conquered. She leaves behind an inconsolable husband and an aged mother-in-law for whom she had cared with solicitous tenderness. Two sons and a daughter also survive her, - Francis E. Jr., and Miss Nellie G., the other son residing in the south, be-sides brothers and sisters who will never find her place quite filled. Mrs Fitch was born Julia Burt, the fourth of five children, three sons and a sister, at Springfield, Bradford county,Pa., fifty-tour years ago, on April 9, Her parents were Caleb S. and Jane E. Burt, prominent Baptists of that town, her father being leader of the choir for several years. She was baptized at the age of fourteen. She was married to Mr Fitch in Springfield February 9, 1864 They first took up their residence in Williamsport,Pa., where she united with the Presbyterian church with her husband. At the end of two years they came to Elmira and became members of the First Presbyterian church. She was an active member always delighted to offer tier best ability in the furtherance of the Sunday school and various other branches of the church. She had, also, for many years been an active member in the Women's auxiliary of the R.Y.M.C.A. One year ago to-day she was elected vice president of the Auxiliary.

BURT - Miss Bertha Burt, youngest daughter of Mr and Mrs I. N. Burt, died Wednesday evening, December 3d, at her home on North Monroe street, in her 18th year of her age. The deceased succumbed to a five weeks illness with typhoid fever and congestion of the brain, during which her condition was daily watched with the keenest solicitude by a host of friends and acquaintances, to whom the fatal termination brought unspeakable sadness. Miss Burt possessed rare gifts that made her a decided favorite with her schoolmates and all who had the pleasure of he acquaintance, and she was an earnest worker in the Baptist church and its auxiliary societies. A well written tribute to her lovely Christian character, written by one who knew her intimately, appears in this paper. The funeral conducted at the family residence Saturday at 1 p.m., was a sad occasion. The Rev. F.V. Atkinson officiated and spoke with much feeling of the departed one. There were many handsome floral tributes from the Christian Endeavor Society, Sunday-school and sorrowing friends. F.W. Hurley, Harry Durland, William Taylor and George Coons, Jr. acted as pallbearers. The remains were taken to Elmira, the former home of the family, for internment, the Northern Central kindly providing a special car for the funeral party.
BURT - In Memory or Bertha Burt
For some people life's journey is a long one- For others very brief: all too brief in the case of some whose personal endowments and qualifications for usefulness draw all hearts most closely to them and make their stay in this world most desirable. It was so with regard to our young friend, Bertha Burt, who, on Wednesday evening of last week, after only eighteen years or earthly life, parted the veil between the seen and the unseen and entered upon the mysteries to which we are all so near- and yet cannot discover. Admired, esteemed, lamented! How much is embodied when those three words are written: None or us are long remembered, when, over the lifeless form is uttered: - Earth to earth, ashes to ashes dust to dust!, but there are many in this village, and in other places who as long as they live will recall with delight and gratitude the fact that they were privileged to know Bertha Burt. How many have said during the weary weeks of her illness and suffering , "I always liked Bertha," Iintelligent, bright cheery winsome, earnest, affectionate taking a serious view or life: energetic and striving, to be helpful for others as well as herself reverent, and devoted to the Savior- to whom and to whose service, she publicly consecrated herself only ten months ago, with no premonition that before Christmas she would stand where the redeemed ones veil their races and$cry ,Holy! Holy! Lord God Almighty! Great and Marvelous are Thy work just and true are Thy ways Tlou King or Saints! -, Can any one of us$conceive what flashed through her minddwhen just as she was passing into the great unknown, she looked up into her sister's face and said: "I am dying." How will it be with each one of us when that same declaration rises to our lips as the varn being sensations of the parting of the spirit from the body tell us that we are directly on the margin? There come to mind these memorial lines, which many of us, Bertha's friends will be glad to link with her memory: ... Dec 7., 1902

The train, when on time, has a wait at Lamar of fourteen minutes, and Mr. Rose thought this a good opportunity to get off and rest himself by walking up and down the platform. While engaged in this manner he noticed that his train was pulling out, it only waiting three minutes as it arrived late. He hurried to catch it and evidently slipped just as he extended a hand to grasp the railing, falling head first between the coaches.
One wheel of the front trucks over his body and the next wheel pushed him along the track. Some one who had seen his attempt to catch the train realized that an accident had happened and pulled the emergency cord, the train stopping immediately.It appears that there is a church in the near vicinity of where the accident happened and that the people were just being dismissed. Anyway, among the first arrivals at the scene was a member of the Masonic fraternity at Lamar, and he noticing that Mr. Rose wore a Masonic button, immediately took charge of the body in the name of Lamar Lodge.

Joanna waw married to Joel Adams in October 1852, Ellen to R.H. Burley January 21st 1867, and Hannah to Ananias Richmond June 1st, 1869. Julia, the subject of this notice, was married to J.L. Rockwell May 27th, 1885. From that time she resided at West Burlington, until her death. Previous to that she and her brother, Joseph dwelt with and cared for their mother at the old home in Sullivan. Since her marriage the mother, who for many years, lived a devout and irreproachable Christian life, has gone to her reward. Joseph has written to us of his attachment to his sister, and says,"She was always good kind and true." He tells us her Christian life commenced when she was ten years old, but she did not by a public profession rank herself with the people of God until about twenty years go He says "she loved her kindred, her church and her Lord." In her new home at West Burlington she was always ready for every good word and work. Her funeral held at West Burlington was largely attended. Rev. T. Mitchell led the services assisted by Rev. H.E. Hyde. The singing was led by C.E. Gladding. The text was taken from Matt. 11-26- "Evenso, so Father, so it seemed good in thy sight." Her remains were carried to Sullivan for interment.
THE ADVERTISER
Mansfield, Penna., Dec. 17, 1902 THE BAPTIST ROLL CALL An Event of Much Interest to the Membership Which is Largest in This Part of the State.
The Roll Call of the First Baptist Church of Mansfield was held Dec. 11, 1902, afternoon and evening. A heavy snow storm prevailed during the whole time of the meeting making it very difficult for many to attend, but there were 110 responses out of the membership of 448, ninety one of whom are non- residents.
Rev. N. L. Reynolds, of Wellsboro, who was pastor of the church 1860 to 1866 and who at this time undoubtedly the best loved man in the Tioga Association, was present at the afternoon service and delivered a very interesting, instructive and inspiring address, in which he said that when he came here there were only forty-five members, a large proportion of whom he was able to remember, and as he recalled them he mentioned them by name. He spoke in feeling terms of the faithfulness of these members, and gave as an example how Daniel L. Sherwood used to come every Wednesday evening from what is now known as the Shattuck farm to attend prayer meeting, saying no nobler man ever lived. Besides this man and his wife he named his three brothers, Rev. Abijah, Albert and Hiram and their wives; Father King (father of our townsman, Mart King), Mrs Mary Elliott( mother of our townsman, Dr. C. Elliott), E. P. Clark and wife, Mrs Philip Ripley, Deacon Putman, Mrs Schusler, Rev. D. P. Maryatt and wife, and others of blessed memory whose names the writer has forgotten; and he said it was to them and the foundation laid by them that we were indebted in great measure for the fact that we are today the largest Baptist church in northern Pennsylvania, and have been such a power of good and such a blessing to the M] ..who ..world.
In response to his name Mr. Andrew Sherwood, a grandson of Deacon Daniel Sherwood, the founder, read the following verse composed for the occasion which by request were re-read at the evening service and permitted to appear...

STATE ROAD BAPTIST CHURCH
Sullivan State Road Baptist Church
to the Rev.J. A. James.
Dear Sir and Brother:
Whereas, You, on the tenth of June presented your resignation of the pastorate of this church, and Whereas, We have with extreme reluctance accepted - having no other alternative- the same. We assembled therefore Resolved, That we take this opportunity of expressing to you our unfeigned appreciation and love of you as a man, Christian, pastor and faithful preacher of the word. For the eight years you have been our pastor you have steadily increased in the estimation and respect of the church and community, and none respect and love you those who know you best. As our pastor you have proven to be our friend and have lived out the Master's precept by rejoicing with those who rejoice, and weeping with those that weep. You have been patient and kind to the erring and tender to the fallen. Our children have found in you a true friend and a sympathetic teacher. In your public administration of the word you have proven to be a painstaking student of the Scriptures, a s ave of no particular school, either ancient or mode a fearless champion of applied Christian truths, morally, socially, politically, and ecclesiastically. Knowing no party, fearing no person, you have preached the word as you understood it, laying no claim to infallibility. You have held before us the rewards of Christian living, and have shown to us plainly the results of disobedience. By your preaching you have made the Bible an inspired and an interesting book to us. Our Savior has been ,rayed before us as the son of God crucified, living in our own day, and crucified by our own age. The tenor of your preaching has been the terribleness of sin: the God of Love, and salvation through Christ. We will ever thank God for your services and pray him that He may bless and prosper you wherever you may labor.

JAMES - The Rev. J. A. James, Ph. D., pastor of the Sullivan State Road church, preached his farewell sermon on July first. The church was filled with his friends and admirers of the departing pastor. The tension of emotion was very visible in both the speaker and the congregation, and it was only with heroic effort that it was kept under control. The work accomplished during his pastorate is very evident. The church has been brought from the half time class to maintain a minister of its own; and while it is said that the con mun ity has decreased in population the church has increased forty-five per cent. Mr James is a man of versatile ability, an accomplished musician, an indefatigable student, and an untiring worker. He has held prominent positions in the religious circles of the county; he has been the president of the Tioga Union of the Christian Endeavor Society; the secretary of the Tioga Valley Ministerial Club; the associational representative of the Baptist Foreign qionary Society; and member of the Missionary committee of the Tioga Association for seven. years. During the last few years the Sullivan State Road church has been affected materially by the removal of substantial members into Mansfield and elsewhere, and death has also made terrible inroads into its membership, among them the beloved wife of the pastor. Notwithstanding all these changes the pastor stood loyally by his people. Mr James goes to his new field with best wishes of all the people irrespective of church or political affiliations. The Sullivan State Road church and congregation tendered Rev. J. A. James a farewell reception on Thursday evening of last week. After a short program rendered by the young people, he was presented, in words well chosen and very appropriate to the occasion, with a beautiful interleaved bible. He leaves a host of friends, as this reception proved and never was a minister more genuinely loved than he.
(Norman) - Mrs Mary Norman Dies,
Served as President ofBoard of Home For the Aged Widow of Prentice R. Norman Passes Away at Age of 81-- Took Leading Part in Building Institution to Its Present Size.
Mrs Mary E. Norman, 81, widow of Prentice P. Norman, died Sunday at 3 a.m. at the family home, 356 West Gray Street after an extended illness of three years duration. Since 1874 Mrs Norman had given of her strength and vitality in the interest of the Home for the Aged, first as a member of the Board of Managers and for the past score of years as its president.
As head of the institution, Mrs Norman has accomplished results most -tifing to the institution and the city. She assisted in building the home from its small and unpretentious beginning to a point where it has become one of the outstanding units in Elmira's charitable group
During Mrs Norman's administration buildings have been added the membership increased, the system improved and new comforts and conveniences conceived for the happiness of those who partake of the Home's fine hospitality.
In the early days of the institution's history it was not an easy task to make ends meet, so to speak, without much work and sacrifice. For a long time funds for maintenance were secured largely from the sale of garments made at little weekly meetings held by those charitably inclined. Eventually this fund was enlarged in various ways until now under Mrs Norman's careful guidance the institution is able to share in the welfare fund, and consequently accomplish greater things for those dependent upon it.
Through a long period of failing health, Mrs Norman refused to relinquish her duties. Although confined to her residence, she kept a managerial finger on the pulse of the institution and through diplomacy and tact was responsib1e for its continued success. Her daughter Mrs Carroll C. Keeton was a great assistance to her in that work.
When she was finally compelled to relinquish the work, it must have been most gratifying to Mrs Norman to know that her daughter Mrs Carroll Keeton, was the selection of the Board of Trustees to carry on the responsibility that had been her's for so many years.
Mrs Norman was a woman of excellent ability, else she could not have succeeded in the gigantic task that confronted her.Her motherly influence, her fine understanding where inmates were concerned, together with her ability and business acumen, in behalf of the institution management, made her services as invaluable as they were necessary to success. Her heart and soul were in the work from the beginning of her interest and the magnificent charitable institution on Grand Central Avenue stands now as a monument to her personal effort and friendly influence upon others willing to share the responsibilty,
Mrs Norman was a delightful woman not only in her work but in her home. Always thoughtful of the welfare of others, there was no sacrifice too great for her to make in behalf of those around her, She was born in Starkey, Yates County ,in 1847. Her father and mother came from England. Mrs Norman migra t ed from Starkey to Elmira as a girl and married in 1874. Her husband, the late Prentice P. Norman, for many years was associated with the Second National Bank. She had spent the remaining years of her life in this city, a devout member of the First Presbyterian Church and an indefatigable worker in many of the city's civic inst institutions sponsored and carried on by the worthy women of the city.
Mrs Norman is survived by one daughter who resided i.. street home where the funeral will be ..h th her husband at the Gr ..w ..eld Burial in Woodlawn Cemetery.

Mrs Ripley was well known in Mansfield and in the vicinity, and was greatly loved for her genuine worth, her winning ways, her kindly nature. Her home was one of blessed influence of generosity, and a real and wide spread hospitality. Her relatives and friends found a heart refuge with her. Her thoughts were for others rather than self, and though a sufferer for years, her words never indicated it, for no complaint passed her lips; and to the last she was calm, loving and trustful.

STRANGE - Maurice Strange, one of the star players of last winter's championship team of the local high school, was in the Advertiser office one day last week. "Strangy" has been out of school this Spring helping his father in the work on the farm, and we have missed his smiling face very much. He is a mighty popular boy because of his everlasting good-nature and has a host of friends who always look forward to seeing him in the line-up when the season for basketball starts.
STRANGE - A coat and pair of trousers, 100 years old, once the property of Mr Charles Strange, who was born in 1758, was shown to an Advertiser representative by Mr Ananias Richmond last Thursday. The coat was made after the style of the full-dress suits of to-day; but the trousers were of more ancient origin. Instead of buttoning up in the front, they buttoned on each side near where the pockets are located, and was known as the "barn door" style. The goods looked like blue denim, but were of a much finer texture. Mr Strange weighed 340 pounds. The trousers measured fifty-three inches around the waist. He was great-grandfather to Mrs M. F. Rose and Mrs M. H. Shepard of this boro.
STRANGE - Mrs J. M. Mcmullen
Mary A. Strange was born in Oneida September 25, 1842, daughter of John and Emma Orinda Strange who were among the earliest pioneers of this region and founders of the First Presbyterian Church of Oneida.
This church with but seven members was organized in the wilderness in the log house of Samuel Preston in May 1848, and regular service and weekly prayer meetings were Faithfully and persistently continued for many years in the old log school house.
The first member to join this church after its organization was the subject of this sketch, then but twelve years old. She was required to sign the covenant and her childish round hand signature is still preserved in the church archives and doubtless will be for many future years. She was active in church service from the very first and during erection of the present church edifice she was most efficient in securing subscriptions which were mainly in labor rather than
-sh, which was then very scarce. She continued her membership in this church until the day of her death although her residence was far away. Both of her parents had been teachers and her early aspiration was to follow in their footsteps. She attended Olivet Institute for a time in her early teens and was later graduated from the Michigan Female College the first person it is said, from the east half of the country to become a college graduate.
She taught for a time in Portland public schools then in schools in the vicinity of her home and later in California and then in Massachusetts where she cared for an aged and invalid aunt. She then returned to Michigan and gave perhaps her best years to the care of an invalid brother. Much of her life was that of an ministering angel.
In Oct. 1881 she married J. M. McMullen. She bore him four sons, two of whom died when quite young. They abode for many years near the door of the church they loved and cherished. When their sons married they removed to Grand Lodge, where she took active interest in church literary activities, joining the A. B. C. club etc.
Her health was injured by a severe fall many years ago and since the birth of her children, she has been a great sufferer, but she continued active until three years ago since which time she has been confined to her home with much prolonged and intense suffering. She died Feb. 11 at the age of 85.
Besides her aging husband she is survived by two sons, Geo. S. and F. Benjamin and their families, one surviving brother, Daniel Strange, nephews and nieces. Funeral services were conducted Monday afternoon at 1:00 o'clock at the home and two o'clock at the Strange church in Oneida. Rev. F. E. Ogle of Holly officiating. Burial in Strange Cemetery
