    1. GEORGE Reunion Oct. 1, 1892 McDonald PA Outlook
    2. Victoria Hospodar Valentine
    3. The Second Reunion--Of the GEORGE Family--An Article That Will Interest Many People in This Section. The following is from the Steubenville Herald of August 26th. The Rev. Mr. BORLAND referred to is a native of Miller's Run and is a brother-in-law of Mr. Sym. FARRER, of Cherry Valley: The second reunion of the George family and connections was held near Scroggsfield, Carroll Co., O., on Aug. 18th, 1892, there being an interval of just seven years since the first reunion held at Mooretown, this county. The meeting was held in a beautiful grove around what is known as the cold spring on the farm of Wm. MCLAUGHLIN. The spring was led through pipes to within a few feet of the assembly grounds and poured a continuous stream an inch in thickness of pure, sparkling cold water. At 10 o'clock a.m. the crowd was called around the broad platform by Chairman R. M. CRABS and a fervent prayer was offered by Rev. J. B. BORLAND. After a few introductory remarks by the Chairman, Hon. R. G. KEAN in a neat speech extended a great welcome to the friends from near and far. Rev. R. J. GEORGE, of Beaver Falls, Pa., responded in a neat and happy manner. The statistics for the past seven years been gathered up and prepared by R. M. CRABS and were substantially as follows: The history of the GEORGE family we have gathered up from as far back as 1735, when one Thomas GEORGE, a native of Scotland, on account of religious persecution moved to Ireland, and not being satisfied with the situation there, removed to America--"the land of the free and home of the brave." Here in America he died, and left two sons, one named Alexander GEORGE and the other Robert GEORGE. From these two brothers proceeded the family descent, which comprises this reunion of the! GEORGE family. The seventh generation from this old GEORGE family is not making its appearance, and only a few children of this generation are yet born, but perhaps the greater number of those borne since the last reunion of August 19th, 1885, are born of this generation. As nearly as we can determine from the reports gathered, the births exceed the deaths in the Alexander GEORGE line about 39. In the Robert GEORGE line of descendants there have been since the last reunion 24 marriages; births, 122; deaths, 47, making an increase of 124. After a lapse of over a century and a quarter, we were able to gather up and present to you at our last in 1885 1,513 lineal descendants from "old Thomas GEORGE" who has before been referred to, and whose bones are now lying in the cemetery near Paris, Washington county, Pa. It was asked at our last reunion if anyone could point out the exact place where his remains were laid, but it was answered. We repeat the question to-day. It y! et remains unanswered. To-day, this, the second, reunion of the GEORG E families, we are able to report to the gathered friends the number of 1,637 living descendants. This relationship has not been weak in vital forces, and goes largely beyond some other American families of similar descent in multiplying and replenishing the earth. The increase in the GEORGE family in the last century and a half has been an average about ten persons each year. The past seven years has been above average, making about 17 a year. In the days of our patriarchal fathers, men were accounted great who could boast of many cattle and large families. Are we degenerating? We were able in 1885 to gather together in the valley between the hills of Yellow Creek about 400 persons to celebrate their relationship to the GEORGE connection. How many will the registrar report this evening as having assembled among the hospitable friends of Scroggsfield and enjoyed another gala--another great day and one long to be remembered with pleasure? Truly none have deserted, non! e have applied to the legislature to change their name. On the contrary we would borrow a little eulogy by saying that we point with a degree of family pride to our ancestry. There were representatives present in person and by letter from New York to California. Several interesting letters and telegrams were read from absent friends. Miss Jessie GEORGE read an interesting essay on "Our Family History". Rev. W. GRAHAM spoke in a humorous way, and Rev. H. H. GEORGE, D. D. of Beaver Falls, gave one of his solid talks. The farewell address was delivered by Rev. R. A. GEORGE, of Cleveland. No pains had been spared by the good friends of Scroggsfield to make every one comfortable and happy. About 1200 people were cared for in great out-door luxury. The whole affair wound up in the evening with a grand social. A new organization was made as follows: President, Hon. R. G. KEAN; Vice Presidents, R. J. GEORGE, SCROGGSFIELD, and J. P. GEORGE, Moortown; Sec. Thos. E. GEORGE.

    2. Victoria Hospodar Valentine
    3. Three Arrests About the 16th ult. at Miller's Crossing, Mrs. J. B. BOSSEAU, whose husband is a night worker at REND's saw men throwing boxes from a slowly moving freight train. This was in the evening. She called the attention of the neighbors to it, and going out she picked up one of the boxes. At that a man jumped from the train and tried to take it from her, but she held on to it, and a revolver was seen in the hands of the man during the scuffle. The families of Joseph CENIS and Alfred DAUVAINE were witnesses to this. Shortly after the man in company with another disappeared over French Hill carrying other boxes with them. The matter was mentioned to August VALENTOUR who informed the railroad people, and soon thereafter Constables FOSTER and GRAHAM, of Mansfield, came up, arrested BOSSEAU, DIVAN and Joseph CENIS, and took them handcuffed to Mansfield, where they were given a hearing before 'Squire MCMILLAN and bound over to court in the sum of $1,000 for a trial, Mes! ser. A. VALENTOUR and Victor MARLIER being bondsmen. At this hearing, it is claimed by the French and Belgians of McDonald, great injustice was done to the accused. They have been well known here for a long time, they are steady laboring men with families, there is no proof against them beside the box Mrs. B. carried into her house, no McDonald interpreter was allowed to act, and those not understanding English could not testify. 'Squire MCMILLAN and Detective LOVE come in for a large share of criticism. October 29, 1892 Outlook Messrs. BOSSEAU, CENIS, and DAUVAIN, of Miller's Crossing, who had been accused of stealing from freight trains and bound over to court by a Mansfield justice, have been cleared by a grand jury. These men are old and good citizens here, and a very great wrong was done to them by the officials who knew nothing of their character.

    3. Thomas F. LEWIS, one of McDonald's best known citizens, died at his home on the South Side, at 2 a.m., Tuesday morning, the 16th. He was a native of Wales and was brought to Youngstown, O., when two years old by his parents. Almost seventeen years ago he came to Midway, where he lived for one year, and since that time he has lived in McDonald. Hauling was his business, he and his boys running three or four teams. His wife died about nine years ago. His children were Mrs. Martha O'NEILL, deceased; Sarah Ann, wife of Mr. George GRIMES, of North avenue; Mary Jane, Mrs. Alexander PLANCE; Henry; Margaret HARSHALL, married and living at Canton, O.; Lizzie, Mrs. Oscar WHITSON; Thomas, Benjamin and Ida. Mr. LEWIS has been quite an invalid for over a year, during which time he was not actively engaged in business but spent his time superintending and advising his boys as to their work. He was a good business man and accumulated some property, all of which was earned by hard work. Among the people he was familiarly known as "Dad" LEWIS, a name he seemed to have acquired by reason of his quaint humor and the interest he manifested in the welfare of his friends and neighbors, being ready with good advice and old maxims for any one he noticed straying to any extent from the course common sense dictated. He was 63 years old on the third of last April. Deceased had probably not an enemy in the world. The funeral was on Wednesday at 2 p.m. The funeral took place on Wednesday; interment at the Hill. Rev. Mr. IRONS delivered a very interesting discourse at the house. A telegram from Burgettstown Thursday morning announces the death of J. W. AIKIN, a prominent lumber merchant of that place. He was aged about 45 years and leaves a wife and two children. On Thursday, August 5th, ...riet HULL, aunt of Charles HULL, who lives with his son Henry on the ...

    1. REED, Martin 3 articles Aug. 13, 1892 McDonald PA Outlook
    2. Victoria Hospodar Valentine
    3. Appalling Tragedy Martin REED Killed by a Mob in the Presence of the Officers of the Law Last Saturday evening Officer Hugh COYLE, about four o'clock, left his home at the head of Arabella Street and went to Noblestown. In an hour he was brought back on a train and was carried up the same street on a stretcher--dead. He had been shot through the heart by Martin REED. As he strided cheerily down the street he was warned by Mr. MCCAUSLAND and others to be careful; and again as he got into the buggy which carried him down behind a galloping horse, he was told by the people to beware of the desperado in the ice house at Noblestown who two hours before had shot and almost killed Detective ORR. But very few people believed that that was Martin REED they had corralled there until the body of COYLE was brought back. It was hard to believe that REED, after escaping from jail and cheating the gallows, had staid (sic) here to court death in another form and to kill and wound others. There were many that doubted whether REED had poisoned Alexander CHAPPEL,! and they and others who believed in his guilt were willing to see him get away and out of the country forever. This story of the killing of Martin REED and of the death of Hugh COYLE has been told with many variations, and in placing it before our readers we have thought it best to give the narration of Detectives ORR and MCBRIDE as they gave them to the Reporter. Severe have been the criticisms on ... remainder of this column missing. The remainder of the article takes up in the next column. ... seemed to be trying to get out of the window in the gable, as he was leaning half way out and I saw him clearly again; he drew back and pulled the door shut. In a few minutes I went to Dr. TAYLOR and had him bandage my arm, and sent a telephone message to Sheriff CHERRY, and sent to Oakdale for Springfield rifles belonging to Co. C. Five or six were sent back. I was gone perhaps twenty minutes, and on my return there were probably a thousand people around there, and many still laughed at the idea of REED being in the building. During the afternoon a good many shots were fired into the building, but did no harm, as they could not penetrate two thicknesses of plank. About five p.m. COYLE came from McDonald. He said he was going in. I remonstrated with him and told him if he went in REED would kill him sure. He insisted, though, saying he would bring him out, as he wanted the reward. WICKERS had shut the door, and COYLE went down and opened it. Just as he opened the second door, bang! went a revolver. I was fair in front of the two doors and saw REED shoot. He had come down off the ice chest, and was only about eight or ten feet from the door when he shot. The floor in there was perhaps a foot above that in the small room at the door. COYLE turned round and came out laughing. He stepped to the corner, and then for the first time reached for his revolver. Just then he swayed over in front of the door, whirled round, staggered and fell among some weeds about fifteen feet from the building. He was quickly removed to ... Dr. TAYLOR pronounced ... remainder of column Narrative again begins at top of next column. ... ADAMS, Billy POST, Jim ORR, Jim LAPSLEY and William HURST got there just after the place was fired. We left at 10:30 Saturday night and reached Washington about 3 Sunday morning." Mr. ORR said further that the pursuit of the man had been conducted by Will MCBRIDE and to his energy and perseverance is due the final cornering of the man and capture of the body. HOW REED WAS RUN DOWN--M'BRIDE TELLS HOW REED SPENT HIS VACATION Detective W. B. MCBRIDE, who, with characteristic tendency, has hung on to this affair until the escaped man is again in a permanent limbo, gave the following information about the movements of REED from the time of his escape, May 19th, until his capture: "The first three days he spent near the County Home. Sunday morning, May 22d, he was seen not far from McConnell's Mills and the same day near Miller's Run Church, going towards Candor. Monday morning about two o'clock ISEMAN Brothers saw and talked with him in a derrick near Midway. He went on to his home and concealed himself in Billy WILSON's coal bank, where he made his headquarters until June 2d. Here, according to REED's own statement, made to Mrs. WHITE, Beaver County, Constable WILLIAMSON came within twenty feet of him, striking matches and searching for him. Scared away from there, he went to MCCORMICK's where he remained till Saturday night. Her ORR, BARBOUR, WILLIAMSON and I had him surrounded in a barn, but were led off long enough to allow him to escape. Early Sunday morning he enquired at Thos. MCCOY's for George WHITE's, on Raccoon Creek, Beaver county; he took WHITE's pony and rode it to a point near Astor White leaving it in the road by Billy MCCAULEY's, where George WHITE found it, all in good shape and took it without any questions. REED reached Arter (sic) WHITE's on Sunday, June 5th, and remained there till July 23d, helping some with the harvest. On that Saturday WILLIAMSON and I saw him and I shot at him three times in the timber, but he was too far away. From this place he returned to MCCORMICK's to his old home, where he remained till Wednesday when he went to WEICKER's at Noblestown." Coroner MCDOWELL assisted by 'Squire J. M. ROBB, of Oakdale began ... again column is ripped away as is the remainder of the article. *From an unknown newspaper, date also unknown which was in with the Aug. 1892 Outlook The funeral of Martin reed took place from his home at Midway. Funeral services were held at Raccoon Presbyterian church, some two miles distant from where he resided. About two hundred persons were present, among whom was REED's aged mother. The ministers who conducted the services were the Rev. Mr. GRAHAM, of the Midway United Presbyterian church; the Rev. Mr. BARCUS, Methodist, of Midway; Rev. Mr. KERR of Raccoon Presbyterian church, and Rev. W. D. IRONS, the United Presbyterian minister at McDonald. Mr. IRONS was a friend of Martin REED and he had made the arrangements to preach the funeral sermon over the body had he been hanged. He consequently made the principal address Monday. After reading the Scriptures and prayer Mr. IRONS denounced the manner in which REED had been treated by the mob. He said that while in jail the condemned man read his Bible regularly and had marked dozens of passages. Some of these the minister read. Brief address was also made by Rev. Mr. KERR of Candor. After the services the body was interred in the little cemetery in the rear of the church. August 20, 1892 Outlook The inquest on the body of Martin REED was concluded in Pittsburg Friday. The verdict was in substance that the remains were those of Martin REED, that REED killed Constable COYLE and then killed himself. The crowd was censured by the jury for its action in firing the icehouse, but no one was named in the censure. And so with a fillip of a coroner's gavel, this tragedy passes into history. ... remainder missing
