    DEATH OF ABRAHAM DEPPEN.
    Was One of the Wealthiest Men In the Lower End of the County.
    Abraham Deppen, of Mahanoy, Pa., died Sunday evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Muth. He was one of the oldest citizens of that community having almost reached his 87th year. Mr. Deppen was very popular in his neighborhood and will be greatly mssed. Through thrift and frugality he became one of the wealthiest men in the lower end. With a borrowed aze he worked for twenty five centa A day, and having thus learned the value of a dollar, was able in later years to accumulate quite a fortune. The deceased will be buried at the St. Peter's church, in Mahanoy, Thursday, August 17th, at 9:80 a. m.
    Thus another soul has fled from this world of turmoil and strife to be ushered into that great unknown, whence none have ever returned.
