LAFAYETTE
The death of "Squire" William A. BUNTING occurred very suddenly
at the residence of John M. HULL, where he had made his home for
a number of years, on Friday evening last. He was around in seemingly
good spirits in the afternoon and even at about 4 o'clock he went out
and chopped a little wood. Returning to the house, he went up stairs to
his room, and when about to be called for supper, he was found dead
in bed. Mr. Bunting was well along in years, being about 77 years
of age. He was one of the oldest residents of our town and held
numerous township offices, being for a number of years postmaster
at this place. The funeral services were held from the Presbyterian
church on Monday afternoon.

BRANCHVILLE
Again was our town summoned to witness the passing of the pall,
bearing to his last resting place the remains of one of our most aged
citizens, Gabriel S. ADAMS. Mr. Adams died on Tues. evening, April 5,
in the seventy-sixth year of his age. He was born in Frankford Plains
at the old homestead farm, now owned by and where he resides with
his only brother, Robert ADAMS. The deceased lived all his married
life on his farm, located near Harmony school house, until eleven years
ago when he became a resident of this town, living these few years
retired from active labor. Mr. Adams was twice married. His first wife
was Mary E. HOWELL, who died forty-five years ago. His second wife
was Mrs. Harriet B. CRANE, who still survives him. The children to
mourn the loss of their father are two daughters: Mrs. Mary A.
CANFIELD and Mrs. George W. ROE, of Newark. He is also survived
by five grandchildren. In the death of Mr. Adams, Branchville loses one
of its most estimable and respected citizens, always ready to perform
and promote the many causes of righteousness, and that which he
deemed best for the good of mankind. He did this with alacrity, although
quiet in manner, as one having passed the allotted milestone in life of
three score years and ten. In the Presbyterian church will be found a
vacant sitting, which was always occupied by him when his health would
permit his presence. A large congregation assembled in the above
named church Saturday morning to pay their respects to the departed,
when a most impressive sermon was delivered by Rev. G. W. LLOYD.
The burial was in the cemetery at Frankford Plains.
Jacob VAN WHY,a soldier belonging to a Pennsylvania regiment,
died in Branchville April 2nd, in the fifty-fifth year of his age. Mr.
VanWhy
was born in Stroudsburg, Pa. He was a resident of his native place until
five years ago, when he came to Newton. Following this, two years ago,
he came to Branchville where he followed his trade, that of a mason, until
he was striken with pneumonia, which resulted in death. Mr. VanWhy was
one of a family of sixteen children, thirteen of whom are living, one sister
being Mrs Peter GARIS, of this borough. He is also survived by one
daughter, Mrs. Nettie GOBLE, of Newton. The funeral occurred Weds.
last at the home of his brother, Calvin VANWHY, in Stroudsburg, the
G.A.R. post having charge of the services. Interment was in the cemetery,
at that place by the side of his wife, who died ten years ago.
