  The death took place suddenly on Saturday evening, May 15th, of Mr. David Gingrich, a respected resident of this town, in his 80th year. ceased has been in failing health, but was around as usual, and was apparently all right when his house-keeper left the house early in the evening. Upon her return she was shocked to find him lying dead at the side of his bed, his wife died last fall. The funeral will take place on Tuesday, from his late residence, Peel street, to the Evangelical church where vice will be held, interment taking place in Riverside cemetery.
