Thomas E. Thayne.
  "In the midst of life is death."  How we realize the truth of these
words when we think of the death of Thomas E. Thayne, of Newark, N. J.
On Aug. 7th, 1924, Mr. Thayne appeared in the best of health, bid his wife
and little ones good-bye and went to work, little realizing that before the
sun set his soul would be with his God.  The intense heat overcame him,
he sank senseless, was rushed to the hospital and before his wife could
reach his bedside he had passed away.
  Mr. Thayne was born in Auburn township, Pa., Jan. 30, 1880, being now in
his 45th year.  His early manhood was spent in his home town, and having
learned the blacksmith trade his ambition being for better money he drifted
to Newark, where about twenty years of his later life was spent.  Sept. 25,
1907, he was married to Miss Mary Riley, of Auburn, who with six children,
John, William, Catherine, Joseph, Marion and Elizabeth, are left to mourn
the loss of a loving husband and dutiful father.
  The body arrived in Meshoppen on Saturday evening, Aug. 9th, and was taken
to the home of his sister, Mrs. E. J. Burke, from where the funeral was
held Monday morning at 9:30 and at St. Bonaventure's church, Auburn Place,
at 10:30, where a Requiem Mass was intoned bt Father Leo, of Hoboken,
a cousin of Mrs. Thayne, who spoke words of consolation to the bereaved
wife and sorrowing friends.
  The body was borne to its last resting place by chums of his boyhood
days:  James and Leo McKenna, J. H. Thayne, Jay Smith, Martin Lynch and
J. W. Cavanaugh, and was followed by numberless relatives and friends,
his funeral being extremely large, attesting the high esteem in which he
was held by all.
  Besides his wife and children already mentioned, he leaves to mourn his
loss, an aged father, John Thayne, of Meshoppen; two brothers, Peter, of
Binghamton, and William, of Meshoppen, and three sisters, Mrs. J. J. Murray,
of Johnson City; Mrs. C. W. Mayo, of Binghamton, and Mrs. E. J. Burke,
of Meshoppen.
