Word Reached Everett on Saturday morning that James Piper had peacefully passed to that great beyond on Friday night, at his home in Hopewell Township.

James Piper was a son of John Piper, deceased, who was of Scotch-Irish decent. He was born July 13, 1819 on the farm he has always lived, with the exception of eight or nine years. In 1850 he went to Loysburg where he was engaged in the mercantile business for six years. From Loysburg he moved to Bedford Forge, in Hopewell Township where he operated a charcoal furnace for about two years. He then moved back to the farm where he spent the remainder of his days. In 1851 he was united in marriage to Miss Lydia A. Fink, of Hopewell Township. To this union were born an interesting family of children as follows: J. Edward Piper, of El Paso, Texas; Samuel F. Piper who lives on the homeplace; W. Scott Piper; who died in 1881; J. Valentine Piper, of Minneapolis, Minnesota; Margarite widow of the late Dr. T.M. Rhodes, of Saxon Pa; Dr. Robert L. Piper of Tyrone, Pa; Mary wife of James H. Craig, Esq., of Altoona, Pa; Besides the above the deceased leaves surviving one brother Thomas Piper of Iowa.

The hospitably Mr. and Mrs. James Piper showed and extended to their friends could not be excelled anywhere. It was the great pleasure of of the writer to have been in this Christian home on more than one occasion, and their examples at such times ought to be models to imitate. After the death of his helpmate in June 1896, the deceased was a broken hearted man and could not entirely recover from the loss of his loving companion. For nearly two years he has been a confirmed invalid, but always bore his affections without a murmur. He was nursed with all tenderness through his long sickness, by his devoted children and grandchildren.

Mr. Piper was called upon to serve in offices of trust during his lifetime. We understand he served in the capacity of Justice of the Peace a number of terms. In 1890 he was elected as a Republican County Commissioner and served his first term with Hiram Blackburn and James Rhodes. He was re-elected in 1894 and served his second term with William Masters and James A. Sill.

During the six years he was a Commissioner much matter of importance was transacted. His career as a county official was an excellent one, which will remain as history to all people interested in Bedford County.

The deceased was a Christian man and for many years he was an elder in the Presbyterian church, the church of his choice. Prominent and honored in public affairs, esteemed and trusted in private life, James Piper has left behind him nothing to be condemned. When he was buried on Sunday the community lost forever from an earthly view his kindly face, forever is gone his kindly council and his congenial companionship. Mr. Piper was more than an active and energetic citizen.

He was a forceful man, helpful to those about him. There are few who knew him, friend and foe alike, who do not sorrow over his taking off. The funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon at his late home, in presence of his many friends. Rev. E.W. Stonebreaker, of the Loysburg Reformed Church officiated, and spoke feelingly of the deceased and paid him a high tribute of his worth as a citizen and his excellent example as a Christian gentleman. The remains were taken to the Piper graveyard only

a few hundred yards from the home he has so long presided over. So he was born, lived, died and is buried on the same farm. His age being 81 years 4 months and 16 days.
