Hearing Before the House Committee on Military Affairs. A large delegation was heard by the House Committee on Military Affairs today on the bill to purchase the site of Washington's camp in Valley Forge and create a national park there. Representatives of the Daughters of the Revolution, Daughters of the American Revolution, Society of Colonial Dames, the City of Philadelphia, and the Valley Forge National Park Association spoke. Peter BOYD, of Philadelphia, opened for the Daughters of the Revolution, describing the ground and the prospects of its purchase. The State of Pennsylvania has acquired 127 acres already, which it was willing to turn over to the united States. Mrs. Adeline STERLING, of new York, President General of the Daughters of the Revolution, said the spirit of patriotism at Valley Forge, which had created the nation was the same spirit as had saved it at Gettysburg, and both spots should be preserved. It was harder for a soldier to face starvation than bullets. Mrs. Nathaniel S. KEAG, of Philadelphia, First Vice President of the Daughters of the Revolution, said funds were being collected for a monument at Valley Forge and the ground should be owned by the nation. Mayor ASHBRIDGE, of Philadelphia, spoke of the interest of Philadelphians in the monument. Mrs. J. L. CHAPMAN, Second Vice President of the Daughters of Revolution; Edwin F. NAULTY, of Philadelphia, Secretary of the Valley Forge National Park Association; Mrs. George McCLELLAN, president of the Philadelphia Society of Colonial Dames; Miss BLISS, of the Pennsylvania Society of Colonial Dames, and Mrs. G. R. KENDRICK, of the Quaker City Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, also spoke.

She came to this country with the company of emigrants 27 years ago and the year following was married to Nicholas PHILLIPS,who was then in the employe of the H.C.FRICK Coke Company at Connellsville,Pa.The family came to this community early in the eighties in company with John MCLEAVY,Mr Phillips having been one of the men who assisted in breaking ground for the future town of Walston.In recent years the Phillips family became well known as the proprietors of the Lindsey House.Nine children survive their parents:Peter,Otto,Nicholas Jr.,Mary,Rosa,Paul,Joseph,John and Albert,the latter being but 4 years old.The bereaved family will be befriended by all who know them and knew their parents,as many will remember both the father and mother only as generous,kindly neighbors.Mrs.Phillips will be buried tomorrow at 10 o'clock A.M.in the Catholic cemetery,alongside the newly made grave of her late husband. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!

As soon as it was learned what the little fellow had done, antidotes were administered in order to counteract the effects of the lye.But nothing could be done for his relief. Ever since that time until Sunday evening (August 23),when death came to his relief,he has been unable to eat anything and has suffered the most excruciating agony.Ice water was the only thing his stomach could retain.The child literally starved to death.The remains of the unfortunate little fellow were intered in the cemetery at that place on Tuesday. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ PA-Old-News ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ NewspaperAbstracts.com - Finding our ancestors in the news!
