UK Crtlh Awrey hrtife tttfrhly Htwlttcnts of tyfonfc. The hours between the fail of ness last evening and the dnvvn of this Warning brought sadness to many hearts and has been cast over this entire community, That grim fewer, Death, was abroad and withun. sparing hand devastated happy homes. First an estimable lady who had seem- ftlgly been in the best of health was taken almost without warning from a loving circle. Only a few minutes intervened when one who had lived almost four score years a life given to the service of his Master, passed to that reward to which teaching had directed hundreds before him.

In the early of the coming day, death olaimt-d another, one of the leading business men of the town, who in the very prime of his life and usefulness was suddenly called to that great majority. and time are not adequate to justly render tribute to those departed, of whom many loving words might well be penned, but in the record of events, the stories of their lives have lasting place. MKS. w. JIUUOOCK.

Last evening at about twenty minutes after ten o'clock, Mrs. Isabella, wifo of William 13. Murdock, died very suddenly sit her home on Washington avenue of heart disease. She hud been afflicted with heart failure for a number of years, it being hereditary in her family as both her parents and two sisters preceded her to the grave by the same disease. She and her husband retired to bed last evening about ten o'clock, she being apparently in the best of health.

Shortly after lying down she raised herself up in bed and sat there for a few minutes' when she got up out of bed and started'to go downstairs. Her husband called to her and inquired the cause of her actions but she made no answeiyHvhen she was about half way dowvfthe stairs she said, "Oh, am and immediately upon hear. iuR this Mr. Murdock and daughter Lena, both jumped up to see what was the matter. They found Mrs.

Murdock about to open the front door which it is supposed she was going to do to get some fresh air, and they assisted her to a chair in the sitting room when she attempted to speak but could not articulate a word. Her chair was drawn close to an open window buh she gradually faded away as if in a faint. Word was immediately despatched to Dr. M. Ewing but before he arrived she had already expired.

She was very tired when she went to bed and it is supposed the attack was brought on by over work. Mrs. Murdock was the daughter of Ilov.

Mis first charge was at Berwick and in 1838 lie (llled the pulpit at Belletonie.

In 1839 ha was junior preacher at WilHatnspoft and In that year he delivered one of his most memorable sermons on the "Centennial of Wesleyan Methodism." The next seven years were passed by him at ministerial labors at Beaver Meadow, Danville circuit, Williamsport, Milton circuit and Lewistown. In 1817-8 he was in charge at Ilollidaysburg and in the following two years he was preacher on the Birmingham circuit. While on the latter circuit he preached the first Methodist, sermon at Tyrone and organized the first class here. Then followed the occupation of charges at Bellefonte, Birmingham, Clearlield, Warriorsmark, aud in the three following years he was Presiding Elder of tho Northumberland District. The Central I'entifjylvania Conference was formed from tho East Baltimore conference, formerly part tho Baltimore conference, in 1808, and in that year Hev.

Mr. Guyer was assigned to Birmingham circuit. In 1800 ho was at 1'hilipsburg; in 1870 at Tyrone in at Sinking Vally; East Tyrone; '75-'77, Half Moon '78-'MO, Logan Valley '8l-'83, Milhelm, Centre county, flov. and his mortality t848, when tleuth clrtimod his was therefore fort'yseven years and four months, tie was the son of Dr. Robert VanValzah.

Both parents have preceded him to the other shore, mid ho is survived by three brothers, who are II. of Spring Mills, Centre county; Dr. t-t. B. of Cleartiekl and i)r, Robert Van of Terre llnutu, Indiana.

At an early age Mr. evinced a taste and capability for mercantile pursuits. Ills early life was spent in Centre and Union counties, but in 1871, he saw an opening for advance. ment In his chosen business in the growing town ot Tyrone. Thither in company with his friend, John F.

Wilson, he camo in September, 1871, and together they organized the firm of Wilson, which for the past twenty years has been prominnntly Identified with tho mercantile life of tho town. They embarked in the general merchandise business at tho corner of Main and Herald streets and always retained that location. In the great conflagration of 1880, their store-room was destroyed, bub they opened up on a still larger scale after tho rebuilding ol the Sneerluger Block. Mr. Van Valxnh always gave his closest attention to itis Conrad's Opera House, Thursday 26 By THE PRINCETON IDEAL ClUB.

She with her husband and family moved to Tyrone from West- Held, Tioga county, in November 1889, and during her short stay among us she bad made many lasting friends who learned with regret of her sudden de- Warriorsmark; 'S4-'8G Birmingham. Having completed fifty years of active service in tho ministry, broken only by short retirements to his farm for the recuperation of his in 1887, Hev. Mr. Guyer entered the superannuated list and lookup his permanent residence in Tyrone.

Since that time he has preached frequently in different churches, and though age brought physical weakness, never was his strong mental powers impaired iu tho slightest and he expounded the p.raud truths of the scriptures witli the vigor, clearness and earnestness of youth. Eev. George Guyer was a positive man in every way. His faith was firmly fixed at an early age and never wavered. As a preacher, he was remarkable for forceful and learned argument, based upon careful and earnest study.

He was a deep thinker. His sermons were evolved in a mind trained to constant labor, and lie committed little to paper. Indeed most of his discourse came extern poraneously from the vast storehouse of his mind. Ho was a seeking theologian, over at study upon tho various points of his profession, and ho was exhaustively versed in Methodist doctrine, upon which ho was regarded as almost indisputable authority. With a wonderfully retentive memory, Itev.

Mr. Guyer, hud at his command tho truths of scripture to enforce his arguments. Withal ho was liberal in his views, and whilo loyal to the church whoso doctrine ho maintained, his discourses were so broad that during his long ministerial career, ho (llled with acceptance the business and every detail. business man whose sagacity and wisdom in connection with both the routine and emergencies of his work, were well known and recognized by those with whom he had business associations. Ills success in life may be attributed to earnest and conscientious work.

Upon the organization of the First National Bank last summer, Mr. Van- was chosen a Director and Vice President of the institution and he con- tirfuiKl to hold those positions until his death. Much of the time he was virtually tho President of the to the long illness and subsequent death of his late friend John S. Morrison. He brought all his business qualifications to bear in the share which he took in the management of tho bank.

Mr. VanValzah was one of Uie Trustees of the Morrison Library, provision for which was made in the will of the late Mr. Morrison, with whom the deceased held an almost brotherly relation. It is indeed a remarkable coincidence that these fast friends should have passed away at times separated by only a few months. Mr.

Van was a member of Tyrone Lodge No. 49-1, Free and Accepted Masons, and of Tyrone Castle No. 79, Knights of the Golden Eagle. He was also a member of the real estate committee of the Tyrone Board of Trade, Always a steadfast Republican, Mr. Van did not take an active interest in politics, never sought and never held political otlice.

Socially he was reserved but companionable, and highly popular among all who were fortunate in having his acquaintance. Among the circle of his friends he will be sadly missed, for his miso. She was a very faithful member taken in thissection. Ho was originally pulpit of nearly every Christian denomination. In his profession, he never lost sight of his duty as a citizen and he always had an deep interest in and a thorough knowledge of public affairs.

For one year, whilo temporarily resting from ministerial work, he was Deputy United States Marshal, and it was under his direction that the census of 1850 was of the Methodist church and died rich in the blessings of her belief. She was always a tender and affectionate mother and a loving wife, and her pleasant greeting to her husband when he returns from his daily labors and to the children when they go homo in the evening, will be most sadly missed. Besides her husband she leaves to mourn their loss four children, two boys and two girls, who are Misses Helena and Sarah, and William and Heaver; also two sisters and one brother, a Whig in politics. Earnestly imbued with the rightfulness of the principles advocated by the Republican party, he joined it at its inception, and had ever since remained an intense Republican. On April Mr.

Guyer was united in marriage to Mrs. Jane Taylor, of Lock Haven, this being his second marriage. He is survived by his wife and two children Mrs. Clark Grazier, of Scotldale, and Georgo L. H.

nyer, of near Tyrone. Three brothers and two sisters also survive him. These are Simpson Guyer. of Indianola, Iowa; Rev Asbury Guyer, of Martinsburg; Mrs, Georgo llubloy.of Colfax, California Caleb Guyer and Miss Jane Guyer, of Tyrone.
