Last Sunday morning one more name was added to the list - the name of one whose departure was quite different from the ones that have occurred previously. We refer to Silas McKenzie who died last Sunday morning, a few minutes after 11 o’clock. He seemed to be enjoying his usual health—arose on Sunday morning and was found in his accustomed place in the Sabbath school. Returning home he sat down in his chair to read the family paper, and while his wife and daughter and son were chatting with a neighbor just outside the door, he expired without a word or groan. He was born March 13, 1830, and was, consequently, 58 years, 6 months and 10 days old when he died. He leaves a wife, one son and four daughters—the latter all married, the husband of one being dead. “Uncle Silas,” as he was called, was born and spent his life in the immediate neighborhood. He was a man loved best by those who knew him longest. He was employed for several years past on Major Alexander Shaw’s large farm here, and his faithfulness to duty in summer and winter was remarkable. He was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, and filled the position of sexton here ever since the church was built seven years ago. The funeral services were conducted in the M. E. church here. Revs. F. G. Porter and John F. Dayton, of Keyser, paid beautiful tributes to his character. After a few remarks by his pastor, Chas. E. Guthrie, the body was taken on the West Virginia Central train to the Dayton Cemetery, near Keyser, for interment. The funeral was the largest known here for many years.
