Alvah L. ALPAUGH

Alvah L. ALPAUGH, sixty-nine years old, one of the most prominent residents of Oldwick, died at his home there Sunday morning at about 11 o'clock, after a long illness from complications of diseases. He was born in the Oldwick vicinity and had always resided there. He was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. George T. ALPAUGH. Formerly for about twenty years Mr. ALPAUGH was station agent for the old Rockaway Valley Railroad at Oldwick and he was a large buyer of peaches for the city markets. He had been a director of the First National Bank at Whitehouse Station since its organization and was also secretary and trustee of the New Germantown Cemetery Association for many years.

Mr. ALPAUGH had been a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Oldwick since he was 12 years old, and he was an officer in the church for many years. He was secretary and treasurer of the church and he had been organist of the church for fifty years until impaired health caused him to resign a few years ago. He leaves his widow, who before their marriage was Miss Nora MC CREA, and a daughter, Miss Leila ALPAUGH.

Funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at his late residence. Rev. Ernest A. WALTON, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will officiate, assisted by Rev. Willaim G. BOWERING, of Lebanon and Rev. S. O. RUSBY, of Princes Bay, Staten Island. Interment will be at Oldwick by funeral director J. Charles ALPAUGH.
