BRAUGHT.

William Braught, a well known retired farmer, residing on North Hanover street (sic), died last evening about 9 o'clock. Mr. Braught had been ill for the past three years, and his death was not wholly unexpected. He was in his eightieth year.

Born in North Middleton township, he attended to his business as farmer there for many years. He farmed also at Middlesex and in West Pennsboro. About thirteen years ago he moved to Carlisle, where he has resided since. Mr. Braught was a hard working, industrious man, and had a host of friends, who mourn his loss. He was an earnest member of the Reformed church of this place.

Besides his wife he is survived by two daughters, Ida and Alice, at home, and one son, William, who lives in the house adjoining. One sister, Mrs. Anna Baker, of South Hanover street (sic), also survives.

The funeral will be held on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. Services will be held at Kutz's church (sic), and interment made in the cemetery adjoining.
