We regret to learn of the death of an old friend at Tide Head (Rest. Co.); Robert A. GERRARD, who died Nov. 23rd. Mr. Gerrard was 78 years of age June last and had been a sufferer from extreme weakness for nearly five months and was from Oct. 22nd completely prostrated, not being able to turn in his bed when his tired frame wearied of one position. He leaves a wife and six daughters, three married and three single, all of whom were around him during his illness. The funeral took place Monday 26th.
