PLANK. - On the 13th of August, at the same place, Samuel Y. Plank, (son of the above named Barbara Plank,) aged 43 years, 9 months and 27 days. He was an excellent and much respected citizen, a faithful member of the church, and an earnest worker in the Sunday-school. He leaves a wife and 7 children to mourn his untimely death, which was caused by an accident. He was hanging up a pair of hay ladders in his wagon-shed on the 10th and succeeded in getting one ladder up, but in raising the second one it tilted when almost up and in falling it struck him on the back part of the head knocking him senseless to the ground. He remained unconscious for four or five hours, when he revived, talking rationally and hopes were entertained of his recovery, but on the evening of the second day, he grew worse and suffered the most intense pain until death relieved him on the 13th. We all deeply mourn our loss but not as those without hope. The funeral on the 15th was unusually large and very affecting; services by Michael and John S. Yoder.
