Mr. J. N. Anderson, of Morris Run, died at Canton last Thursday afternoon.
The funeral was held on Friday afternoon, and the remains were taken to
Syracuse, NY, on Saturday for interment. Mr. Anderson, it will be
remembered, was one of the victims of the terrible railroad wreck at Jackson,
Mich., in October, 1893, receiving spinal injuries. He recovered
sufficiently to be around, and it was hoped that he would eventually regain his
full strength. But while in Philadelphia three weeks ago, he suffered an
applectic stroke, and was brought to the home of Mr. Whitman, in Canton.
For several days he showed signs of rallying, and then relapsed into a
semi-conscious state, from which he gradually sank into his last long sleep.
Mr. Anderson was 44 years of age, and was married to a niece of Mr. Whitman.
Besides his wife, two sons, aged 15 and 8 years, survive him. He was head
clerk in the Company store at Morris Run, and was a man universally liked by his

Mr. and Mrs. U. P. Wylie
Mansfield, Dec. 31.--On the night of December 25th, at 11 o’clock, occurred the
death of Mr. U. P. Wylie, and 11 hours later his wife also passed away. He
had been ill for a long time; but Mrs. Wylie was around the house as usual all
the time. It rarely happens that a man and wife live together for over 60
years and then depart this life almost hand in hand. Mr. Wylie was born at
Boonville, NY, April 4, 1809, and Mrs. Wylie, whose maiden name was Charlotte
Lucretia French, was born at Hampton, NY, January 4, 1813. They were
united in marriage October 12, 1831, and settled in Wells, Bradford county, and
there their 11 children were born, of whom five are still living. They are
Mrs. Norton, Larned, Kansas; Mrs. Shearer, Wellsboro; Frank P. Wylie, Boone,
Iowa; Mrs. Soper Rutland, and Mrs. Webb, Kansas City. The aged couple also
had 11 grandchildren. Their second son was killed in battle in the late
war. Mr. Wylie was made a member of the Odd Fellows’ Lodge in Troy in
1847, and when they moved to Boone, Iowa, 24 years ago, he was made chaplain of
the Lodge in that place. This office he held for a number of years.
After residing there for 14 years, they came back to Pennsylvania and in 1887
came to Mansfield where they had resided ever since. They became members
of the Universalist Church here. The funeral was held in that church on
Saturday afternoon, and the remains were taken to Mosherville, for burial.
Mr. and Mrs. Wylie had both been teachers, as had also five of their children.
They were much liked and respected in this community and will be greatly missed.
