near Millway, died at his home on Tuesday at 8:30 P.M., following an illness 
with dropsy for the past two months.  His age was 69 years and 18 days.  Mr. 
Eisenberg was the son of the late Myers and Zetta Eisenberg and was born near 
Adamstown.  He received his education in the public schools, this being 
supplemented with a short course at the Millersville Normal School.  At the 
early age of fourteen years he was considered competent to teach school, which 
he did for the following five years.  The he started his career as a merchant, 
first becoming a clerk in a store at Schoeneck.  In 1875 he opened up the store 
near Millway, which he has conducted ever since.  Mr. Eisenberg was noted for 
the large line of stock which he carried, this stock embodying almost anything 
conceivable in the line of merchandise.  He was a Republican in politics and 
held various minor offices in the district where he resided.  Mr. Eisenberg was 
twice married.  His first wife was Annie Wolf, of Millway, who died in 1886.  
His second marriage was to Miss Kate Heiser, of Akron, who survives.  There are 
no surviving children.  Two sisters, Mrs. Cahrles Stamm, of Ephrata, and Mrs. 
Charles Shirey, of Lincoln, also survive.  The funeral will be held on Monday 
with services at the house at 9:30 and at 10:30 A.M. in the Lincoln Reformed 
church, of which deceased was a member.  Interment will be in the adjoining 
cemetery.  Rev. Martin Schweitzer will officiate.
