    3. SHANE, HYTHORN, JONES, TILDEN, THEISS, CEDAT, SAURIS, BOURGERMAN Andrew SHANE, of South Fayette township, died last Friday morning at 5 o' clock, aged 78 years. Mr. SHANE was born on a hill across the Mohawk Valley from the home he had occupied for more than half a century. On January 28th, 1851, he was married to Miss Elizabeth MILLER. Five children, four sons and one daughter, were born to them and this is the first time death has entered their home. Two of the sons are merchants of McDonald; one son lives near Reissing and one son and the daughter live at home. Mr. SHANE was a fine specimen of the kind of men who used to make farming pay. He had a model farm one and one-half miles south of Sturgeon and he knew how to till the soil and make it yield a comfortable living. But for several years he has not been in good health and just lived a quiet life, enjoying the fruits of his earlier industry. He always took a great interest in bees and from many colonies supplied honey lovers in this section with some of the choicest honey ever produced. He was a life-long member of Robinson's Run congregation, serving as deacon and treasurer for about twelve years and Sabbath School superintendent for four years. He was a liberal supporter of all the activities of the church, contributed liberally to the erection of the present building in McDonald and a few years ago he provided for the education of a colored young man in Knoxville College, Tenn. He had been in about his usual health for several months. Even on Thursday he looked after his bees, but Friday morning without any warning he suddenly passed to his reward. The funeral was held on Sabbath afternoon at 3 p.m. at his beautiful country home. The estimation in which he was held was shown in the immense crowd that gathered to pay their respects to his memory. When the hearse entered the cemetery the last carriages were just leaving the house. He had just two spiritual shepherds, Dr. James GRIER, who received his profession of faith, and Dr. J. W. ENGLISH, who addressed the funeral, paying a fitting tribute to his life-long work and integrity of character. The congregation suffers a heavy loss in his removal and the community a time-honored citizen.
