Obsequies of the Oldest Inhabitant
THE PEOPLE MANIFEST THEIR RESPECT

John Van Emburg, aged 104 years, was buried yesterday afternoon from his late residence in Kearney township, East Newark.  His house is a low, one story building, on the slope of a hill overlooking the Hackensack meadows.  Here he was born, before the colonies cut loose from Great Britain, and here he died.   Those who knew him well say that, with the exception of his service in the war of 1812, he was probably never twenty miles from the homestead which he inherited. With the exception of impaired sight and hearing, he retained his facilities until within a few days of his death, which was brought on by a cold through the recent sudden changes in temperature.  At about 1 o'clock the relatives and friends assembled in the house, and listened to the brief and simple services.  The remains were enclosed in a cloth-covered coffin studded with silver-plated nails, with handles of the same metal.  The procession passed to the Methodist Episcopal Church in East Newark.  The building is small- not more that 30 by 40 feet- and could hardly accommodate the occupants of twenty-five or thirty carriages that followed the corpse.  The discourse was mainly historical.  Mr. Van Emburg was married five times.  His last wife was a German, a mere child in years compared with himself.  It is thought that his property is not very large, as much of it had been distributed among his children by former wives.

A Centenarian Laid to Rest

Yesterday afternoon long before the hour announced for the commencement of the funeral services for the lateJohn Van Emburg, the Methodist church in Third street, Harrison, was  crowded with his friends and neighbors, while groups of people gathered on the steps and sidewalks in front.  About half-past two o'clock the hearse containing the remains reached the church, having been accompanied from the house by along line of carriages bearing relatives of the deceased. The handsome burial casket was carried to the pulpit by Messrs Boyd, Dukes, Muchmore, Issler, Shepherd and Newbold, where the solemn services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. John Scarlett, assisted by Rev. Dr. Dally, of Belleville.  Notwithstanding the great throng of people who filled the aisles and hallway, the best of order prevailed, and the undertaker, Mr. Hullfish, was enabled to carry out his arrangements speedily and satisfactorily.
The Rev. Mr. Daily opened the services by the reading a portion of the 90th psalm.  The choir then sang the 1,063d hymn, after which Rev. Mr. Scarlett delivered the funeral sermon, taking his text form the 10th verse of the 990th psalm: "The days of our years are three score years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labor and sorrow, for it is soon cut off, and we fly away."  Mr. Scarlett said his remarks would be brief, owing to the crowded state of the house.  The burden of his discourse was to impress on his hearers, the importance of preparing for the life to come as there was the evidence before them to shoe how all must succumb to death.  The longest life on earth was necessarily brief, even should it reach the age of five score years and four, like him who had just parted form his earthly associations.  The speaker compared the duration of man's life with the works of his own hand, and showed how comparatively short it was in which to lay up good works for eternity.
He alluded to the progress that had taken place in the arts and sciences during the life time of Mr. Van Emburgh, and also the changes that had been wrought among the nations of the earth- the Revolution in America having commenced when he was a boy of nine years of age.
At the close of the sermon an opportunity was afforded for all present to view the remains, which were then transferred to the hearse and borne to their last resting place, in Woodland Cemetery.
