Death of J. G.Laros
Prominent Resident of Hulmeville Died Suddenly of Apoplexy
John G. Laros died suddenly at his home, Hulmesville, on Sunday July 20, at 1:45 p.m. He would have been sixty-eight years old on November 16th.
The Funeral was held on Wednesday, July 23, at two o’clock p.m. Interment at Beechwood Cemetery.
When retiring on Saturday night Mr. Laros was apparently in excellent health. Death was due to apoplexy. Mr. Laros, who during an active life has borne a most useful part in the community among whom his years have been passed, was born in Northampton County, Pa., November 16th, 1845, a son of Martin and Mary (Levers) Laros. He was reared in fork’s township, near Easton, where he also received his education.
After leaving school he learned the harness making trade at Easton and worked at his trade in Philadelphia for s3even years. He then came to Hulmesville in 1877 and established the business which he has successfully followed since that time, forming partnership with his son, Charles, in1908. He united with Hulmeville M.E. Church and for some years was a member of the board of trustees of same. His service as superintendent for the M. E. Sunday school extended through a period of several years. He was a member of the Nashamony Lodge, No. 422, I. O. O. F. Mr. Lars took for his wife, on January 19th 1867, Sarah A. Sandt, of his native township, daughter of Henry and Sophia Sandt. The anniversary of this marriage, January 19, 1887, when he sought to gather together in his own him his relatives and friends, was a family reunion, very beautiful to look back upon now, the memory of it filled with all kindly and tender thought and feelings. Never again on earth shall such a meeting take place; the circle is broken. The head of the house is gone; it is the beginning of the end. Mr Laros is survived by his wife, three daughters, Carrie M., Marian E. and May F. and one son, Charles F. Mr. Laros is also survived by three borthers and three sisters, residing in Philadelphia and at Easton. There are five grandchildren, Fain would I speak and yet I am. Fain to refrain from speaking of the qualities of character by which Mr. Laros was distinguished. There was not wanting in him a certain element as seems to be necessary accompaniment of all genuine goodness. His character was not formed otherwise than by toil and conflict and struggle. He knew what it is to toil. He knew also what it is to endure patiently. The best that he was he was to his own family; toward them he was a methodical as in religious homage and business life. To them he was the “Head of the House,” and faithfully did he fulfill the duties of that position. The funeral services were conducted in the home and the remains were carried to the grave by those who knew him and loved him, some of whom had been associated with him in his work, some of whom were members of his church, some of whom belonged to his brotherly order, stranding at the grave, how many thoughts and feeling arise within one’s mind and heart. How many memories start into activity here; memories of tasks performed, memories of neighborly and friendly acts extending far back to dimly remembered time. It is over now; the last words been said. Let us thing of him and say:
“Now the laborer’s task is o’er.
Now the battle day is past,
Now Upon the father shore
Lands the voyager at last.
Father, in thy gracious keeping
