FUNERAL OF J. W. CHRISTMAN

The funeral of the late J. W. Christman of Hespeler was held on Friday afternoon. There was a large gathering of friends and relatives from near and far, who came to pay their last tributes of respect to one they esteemed in life. The suddenness of his taking-off made the blow doubly hard to bear, and Mrs. Christman consequently was prostrated with grief and unable to accompany her husband's remains even to the church. Had she been able to do so, the eulogy paid him by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Stewart, would have comforted her.

The pastor spoke of the deceased as a useful and energetic member of the Presbyterian church; a teacher in its Sunday School; one who desired to exercise his faith in everyday life, and one whom he was pleased to call a friend. His demise is a loss to both the church and community.

To those who knew the deceased as a commercial traveller only, he was liked for his kindly demeanor and the sunshine of his intercourse.

Mother Bereaved Twice In Few Days

News Of Death of Last Surviving Member of Family Held Back For Fear of Too Great a Shock

The two last surviving children of Mrs. Jane Christman's family of seven children, passed away within several days of each other. Word was received this week of the death and burial of her son Philip H. Christman at Denver, Colorado, following a paralytic stroke. He was widely known in mercantile circles there. Mrs. Christman was informed of the son's death this week. Word of the death of her daughter, Agnes Christman, who was well-known in town, reached here on Tuesday but was not passed on to Mrs. Christman immediately for fear that news of the deaths of her last two children within such a short time of each other and so sudden would be too much.

The funeral service of Miss Agnes Christman was held at 10: 30 Thursday morning from the Dreisinger Funeral home. Interment was made in the family plot, in Elmira. Rev. J. Ure Stewart conducted the funeral services.

The account of the death of Philip Christman as recorded in a Denver paper was as follows:

Mr. Christman was born in Elmira, Ontario, on March 22, 1876. He came to Denver, 27 years ago and had lived here since. He was a member of Masonic Lodge, No. 84 A.F. and A.M. He is survived by his wife and a daughter of Denver, his mother, Mrs. Jane Christman, and a sister, Agnes of Elmira. Funeral services will be held on Wednesday after at the Olinger Mortuary, Speer boulevard and Sherman street. Burial will be in Fairmount Cemetery."

The death of Miss Agnes Christman took place at the Old People's Home in Kitchener. Deceased was born in Elmira on Sept. 13, 1872. Her death followed a short illness of flu which later developed into pneumonia. On Monday she expressed a wish to have her mother come to see her, but owing to Mrs. Christman's age, which is nearly 90, it was thought advisable for her not to go.

Notes:

Sad, Sudden and Mysterious

A very sad and unexpected death was that of Mr. David L. Christman, youngest son of Mrs. J. Christman of Elmira. The young man died at Toronto where he was employed in a whole-sale house. He enjoyed good health until a few days before his death. The first symptoms he noticed were small dark spots appearing under the skin on different parts of the body.

Then his nose began to bleed and as all ordinary means to stop the bleeding failed, a doctor was called in who succeeded with some difficulty in stopping the flow of blood. The patient felt considerably better and when his brother lay down to sleep beside him on Wednesday evening (of last week) nothing serious was feared. But when the brother awoke on the following morning he found the pillow saturated with blood. The patient had already lost consciousness and the efforts of two doctors, who were at once summoned, failed to revive him. He died in short time being suffocated by the quantity of blood in the air vessels. The doctors were very much puzzled and said they had never met with a similar case. They thought a blood vessel burst and clogged up the circulation, but a definite, adequate solution of the case they could not give.

The corpse was brought to Elmira and buried on Saturday afternoon. The bereaved family have the sympathy of the community in their sudden loss.
