- Peter Witwer dies suddenly
Peter Witwer, a well-known and highly respected citizen of Warwick township, living on his farm about a mile east of Kissel Hill, was found dead in bed at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, death having come an hour or two previous. 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.
