At his home near Mechanicsville, Pa., aged 84 years, 9 months, Mr. John S. Orr.
Mr. John S. Orr was a member of Rehoboth church; a membership that carried with it evidence of genuine piety. He was a quiet undemonstrative man, “Adorned the doctrine of God our Savior.”
His life was gentleness, kindness, thoughtfulness for others. As a husband and father, as a member of the church and neighbor he was a Christian. In his declining years he illustrated the faith and patience which grace alone can give. There was not a fear, not a doubt, not a cloud; peaceful and restful he “fell asleep in Jesus.”
Mr. Orr was buried in the Rehoboth church yard on New Years day.
