Dr. I. D. SPENCER was summoned but he (Walter SERTWELL) was past medical aid and passed away in a few minutes, death being due to apoplexy. Mr. SERTWELL was born in Brownville and was 81 years, 8 months and 10 days of age. He was a veteran of the Civil war and was a splendid physical type of a perfect soldier, being 6 feet 2 inches tall and remarkably erect. It was always interesting to hear him relate his experiences during the war or which he was very fond of telling. He never affiliated with any church, but was a man of good principles and thoroughly honest. He leaves two sons and a daughter whose whereabouts are unknown. His funeral was held under the auspices of the G. D. BAILEY Post, G. A. R., Tuesday afternoon. Interment took place at Lowville. - At his home on Mechanic street in this village at 10 o'clock, Sunday night, occurred the death of Francis MONNAT, Sr., after a lingering illness. A few years ago Mr. MONNAT sustained a paralytic shock and has been in poor health since that time. He has been a great care and all that loving hands could do to ease his suffering and make him comfortable has been done. Mr. MONNAT was born in Switzerland on May 29, 1842, and was the son of Stephen and Mary Ann POUSEY MONNAT. He left his native land when eight years of age and with his parents came to this country. They were twenty-eight days in crossing the Atlantic and made the trip from New York to Albany by steamboat, and from there to Boonville by canel. They came overland from Boonville to the section known as Gooville, about three miles from this village, where they settled and resided until about four years ago, when on account of ill health he retired from business and located here. Mr. MONNAT was a successful business man and in his dealings with the public he exercised honesty and fairness. He conducted a sash and blind business at Lowville for a number of years, but always maintained his farm here. He was heavily interested in timber land and had varied other business interests. His death records the passing of another worthy citizen whose genial manner and true friendship will be missed by a host of warm friends. He was a devoted member of St. Stephen's church, from which his funeral was held at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning when a requiem high mass was celebrated. Besides his sorrowing widow he leaves to survive him eight sons and two daughters, Frank, Julien, Charles, Leo and Miles, of this place; Augustus of Lowville; Clement, of Copenhagen, and Christopher, of Watertown,; Mrs. Frank RUBAR, of Belfort, and Miss Belle MONNAT, of Croghan. He also leaves four brothers, Joseph, Justin, Julien and Hippolite, all of Croghan. GREIG (Miss Gertrude L.
