On last Sunday afternoon occurred the death of German Fingar, an old and highly respected citizen of this village.

Mr. Fingar had been a patient sufferer for many weeks from la grippe, recently he rallied and of late his friends had hoped for his recovery but worn out from suffering and disease, his hitherto robust constitution gave way, and beyond the allotted period of three score and ten, he passed quietly to his last rest.

The greater portion of the deceased's life was passed in this village, and he was always interested in its welfare and prosperity. At different times he held official town and county trusts and always discharged with fidelity every interest committed to his care.

He was a man of sterling worth, amiable temper, hospitable, of warm heart, sympathetic, generous, and because of his many excellent qualities, was much beloved by a large circle of friends.

He leaves a wife, sons and daughters to mourn his death. The funeral took place on Wednesday when the body was laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining the Lutheran Church at Manorton, N. Y., to await the resurrection of the just. The Pine Plains Register April 24, 1896
