    Peter Witwer dies suddenly

He had been ailing of late and Dr. Roebuck was to see him on Wednesday evening, but nothing serious manifested itself. Mr. Witwer was one of Warwick's staunchest Republicans and an active public worker. He served as school director of the township for two terms and was treasurer of the board. He was a man well posted in public affairs and kept himself well informed of the daily doings of the world by giving attention to the newspapers. His age was nearly 73 years. A wife and six children survive. The funeral will take place on Monday at 10 o'clock A.M. Services and interment at Kissel Kill Lutheran church. Rev. I. W. Bobst will officiate.
