| 27207 | WITMER.-THE FIRST DEATH OF THE HOUSEHOLD. Written on the death of Esther Witmer, who died Jan. 10th, 1834, aged 19 years, 10 months and 20 days. Oh! many a mournful year hath flown, Since first amid our family band Death came and stole our lovliest one, And bore her to the spirit land Yet shrined with many a sweet, sad thought, That loved one's mem'ry lingers still; For oh! she left a void that nought But mournful thoughts could fill. Years have passed by, I said, and yet, It only seems the other day; Since round her dying bed we met With breaking hearts to weep and pray; Her gentle soul, we strove to think Would linger yet 'mid earthly flowers; Even when 'twas trembling at the brink Of the better world than ours. Yes, there e'en when all hope had flown, We wept away each lingering hour, Until the shades of Death came down And closed at length the closing flower; And yet it seemed like sin to grieve For one so patient and resigned, For, if she mourned 'twas but to leave Such breaking hearts behind. She died! yet death could scarcely chill, Her smiling beauties, though she lay With cold, extended limbs, and still Her face looked fairer than the day; Those eyes, once elegant with bliss, Now closed as soft as closing flowers- Oh! few could bear a sight like this, But such a sight like this was ours. How slowly wore that long, long day, Like spirits in some haunted place; We'd sit and sigh-then steal away To look once more on that pale face; We could not think her soul had passed The awful bounds of mortal strife, That that warm heart was cold at last That loved us more than life. And when the funeral-rite was said, They bore her from our happy home, And left her with the silent dead A pale-faced tenant of the tomb. We reared no marble* midst the flowers, Above her grave--to mark the spot; Yet many a heart, as fond as ours Still holds her unforgot. Months passed, yet still our sorrow gushed; The free glad laugh no more was heard; And many a little voice was hushed, That used to warble like a bird. And though at times we strove to smile Serenely for each other's sake, And wept in secret all the while As if our hearts would break. Yet why should death be linked with fear, A single breath-a low drawn sigh Can break the ties that bind us here, And waft the spirit to the sky. Such was her end-a calm release- No clinging to this mortal clod; She closed her eyes and stood in peace Before a smiling God. Suspension Bridge. ----- E. Witmer. *Since, a tombstone has been erected | WITMER, Esther N (I10201)

"Saw Nothing Coming" Lester Meland of Barker, father of the Meland girl, said his daughter and the Thiel girl had lunch together at noon, then went for a ride with Piatt. All three are students at Barker Central School. Piatt told deputies he was driving south in Orangeport Road, and stopped at the intersection for a boulevard stop sign. "I looked both ways, but saw nothing coming," he said. When he started across Slayton Settlement Road Piatt said, the Baehr car "loomed up from the east," and struck the side of his auto. The careening autos knocked down a power pole, then crashed against a viaduct on the opposite side of the road. The Piatt car had to be raised by passersby before Mrs. Baehr's body could be extricated. Dr. Walter Albach, Newfane coroner, said he would await a complete report of the accident before issuing death certificates. Funeral plans for the three victims are being completed today. | WEIR, Rose Ann (I82537)
