Last Sad Rites Attended By Many Life-Long Friends of Aged Pioneer
Saturday morning occurred the funeral services for the late. Charles W. Gorham at the e church near his home and was largely attended by neighbors and many life-long friends. There was a profusion of beautiful flowers. The sermon was delivered by Rev. J. F. Leffler, of Coudersport, and the singing by Elvin Burdick, Isaac Dingman, Willis Brock and J. F. Nelson.
The pall bearers were chosen from among the neighbors of the deceased and were Isaac Baker, Charles Stearns, Edwin Tassell and Elvin Burdick.
Mr. Gorham was 81 years and six months old and besides the wife and children his aged sister, Miss Lucinda Gorham who has long resided with him, survives.

_______________
Has A New Pupil
Yes, they have a linotype machine at the Journal office, consequently the ENTERPRISE has another pupil. They come to a good place for instruction. The ENTERPRISE has now got the Democrat on quite an independent footing but it will take some weeks to get the Journal so well equipped. These shops put in the machines that they know require the attention of an expert machinist; then they put a green hand on the machine and rely on the ENTERPRISE machinist to keep their machines in running order. But of course they being such good friends (?) of the ENTERPRISE they feel quite free to ask any favors. It's a nice, cheap way to do.
