Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, September 11, 1903 LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mr. William Brown, Jr., of Lilly, was among other visitors at the FREEMAN office this week. Governor Pennypacker appointed a man who had been dead three years to be one of Pennsylvania’s representatives to the Farmers National Congress at Niagara Falls.

OLD SOLDIERS CAPTURE EBENSBURG On Wednesday the One Hundred and Thirty-third Regiment, P. V. I. held its 11th annual reunion in this place. The old soldiers completely captured the town. From the time the advance guard in the shape of President Thomas Davis’ and Secretary F. H. Barndollar arrived until the camp fire was over and the reunion at an end the old solders were the centers of attraction and the objects of attention. No effort was spared by the people of this place in welcoming them. All the business houses and many private residences were lavishly decorated with flags and bunting while the interiors of the courthouse and the opera house were gracefully festooned with the national colors, flags being draped at nearly every point where one could be used to advantage. At 10:30 o’clock about 65 veterans from Ebensburg and vicinity gathered at the courthouse and headed by the Ebensburg Band marched to the railroad station to meet their old comrades coming in from Cresson. When the tardy train arrived the meeting veterans were ranged in line by Col. S. W. Davis and the old soldiers preceded by the band marched to “the diamond” and then disbanded. Dinner was the next event. And such a dinner it was. The repast was served in the opera house by the ladies of this place, assisted by the Sons of Veterans. The soldiers unanimously declare that it was about the best meal they ever sat down to. No detail was forgotten. Everything was there and there was more than enough for all. The business meeting of the regiment was held in the courthouse in the afternoon, starting at 2:15 o’clock, with Dr. Thomas Davis of Pittsburg; presiding Secretary E. B. Barndollar of Bedford read the minutes of the Johnstown reunion and then V. S. Barker, chairman of the arrangement committee, announced that there was no formal program, as it was impossible to tell in advance who would attend. On behalf of the ladies he announced that they would serve supper to all old soldiers and that the tables would be set in the opera house again. Burgess Ed James welcomed the veterans to Ebensburg and Dr. Davis replied on behalf of the regiment. Dr. Davis made an eloquent speech. He referred to the welcome given the regiment in Ebensburg on its return from the war and said he was glad to state that the ladies now are as good cooks as their mothers were at that time. He also referred feelingly to the officers and men of the regiment who had answered the last roll call. The Rev. W. L. Jones of Ebensburg, who with J. D. Parrish and John A. Blair are the only survivors of the Mexican War in this place, thanked Burgess James for not forgetting to mention the Mexican War veterans. Dr. Davis then said he was desirous of learning the names of the oldest members of the regiment and asked those born before 1835 to stand up. Several responded, as follow: Cyrus H. Sprunk, 1827; Isaac B. Bowser, 1828; Milton Jones and Crispin Dorer, 1829; Leonard Boyer, J. T. Malloy and Isaac Jones, 1833. The following are the names of the veterans present: A. V.

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, September 4, 1903 VETERAN ENGINEER RETIRED Altoona, Sept. 2-—Frank Kelley, aged 69, for 46 years a locomotive engineer employed by the Pennsylvania, voluntarily retired. He was the only one-legged engineer in the service, having lost his left leg in a wreck on the Pittsburg division 39 years ago. FED ARM INTO HAY CUTTER Latrobe, Pa., Sept. 2---Eddie, the 12-year-old son of Philip Herman, president of the Loyalhanna brewing company, was feeding a hay cutter and his right arm was sliced to pieces. He may die. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Mrs. William Thaw has been spending most of her time at her cottage near Cresson recently and is entertaining large numbers of friends. The latter part of next week, she will entertain the Rev. Robert Christie, D. D. L. L. D., professor in the Allegheny seminary, who is returning from a summer in Scotland. [Cresson Record] I. J. Miller of Nicktown called at THE FREEMAN office this week. Jacob Thomas of Thomas Mills was visiting friends in Ebensburg this week. Thomas Driscoll of Allegheny township was transacting business here this week. William G. Wilson of Belsano transacted business in this place on Tuesday. The marriage bands of Walter Litzinger and Madeline Little of Loretto have been published. James Donohoe of Ashville and N. Teeter of Nanty Glo called at THE FREEMAN office on Wednesday and expressed their appreciation of the reception given the old soldiers by the people of Ebensburg. Edward, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Huber of Carrolltown, seems to be an unlucky lad. Having recovered from a broken arm, the boy went into C. J. Thomas, blacksmith shop at Carrolltown, and was watching Valentine Thomas drive a spike into a wheel when he was injured in a peculiar manner. Val Thomas was using a broad ax, and in making a stroke the ax became loosened from the handle, the bit striking the boy’s right foot on the instep, almost severing it. The wound was dressed by Dr. G. H. Sloan of Carrolltown. Later an operation was performed by Drs. Sloan and Rice of Hastings in which they drew the ligaments together. J. C. Mahan, a former resident of Pine Grove, this county, who left that section 29 years ago and who is now employed by the General Electric company in New York, has returned to his home after spending several weeks among the scenes of his early years. He left the north of the county in 1874 and for a year was employed in Pittsburg. Then he went to Philadelphia and later to New York. For some years his relatives heard nothing of him until one day word reached them to the effect that he was dead. Later this news was contradicted and it was found that Mr. Mahan was alive and prospering. Mr. Mahan occupies an official position with the General Electric company and he says that he would not exchange New York for the remainder of the western hemisphere. The following Barnesboro people have been at Atlantic City recently: Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Hartshorne, Dr. J. S. Miller and wife, Mrs. Charles Woodhead, Mrs. Thomas Brown, and Mrs. H. A. Morris. The miners at Cresson Shaft have elected John Walton to serve as check weighman for the next term. Mr. Walton served as check weigh man at the same place some time ago and resigned. John Perlie, while playing with a frisky colt recently, received a severe kick over the left eye from the critter. It was thought at first that he would lose the sight of the eye, but the organ is doing nicely. The Rev. G. F. Snyder, pastor of St. Luke’s Lutheran Church, Lilly, has accepted the call to the pastorate of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, Altoona and preached his farewell sermon in the Lilly charge on last Sunday. The Mapleton cottage is still full and applicants for rooms for September are turned away daily. Among those who will remain through September are the McClintock, McKnight, and Neiman families of Pittsburg and Dr. Hays of New York. At the fourth quarterly conference of the Lilly M. E. Church, held recently, the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Stewards, J. S. Cessna and Nicholas Evans; Trustees, J. E. Lowery and Howard Berkstresser. Mrs. Weston of Gallitzin was elected to represent both the Gallitzin and Lilly churches at the annual conference at Pittsburg which will be held next month. E. S. Henry of Puritan has sold out his store interests at that place and has purchased from Thomas Pringle his livery business. Mr. Henry is a first-class liveryman, being thoroughly acquainted with the business and has a perfect knowledge of horses. He proposes to add to the already large stock which he has purchased and keep up with the times or mayhap a little ahead. He paid Mr. Pringle $4,300 for the business. Henry Kerchner, 70 years of age, who tripped on a water pipe in Bedford street which projected above the sidewalk and who sustained a severe fracture of his right arm from which he has not recovered after eight months’ treatment has brought suit again the city of Johnstown for $5,000 damages. He has been under the care of physicians ever since the accident but the break was a peculiar one and the physicians say that it did not knit properly. Mr. Kerchner still carries his injured arm in a sling. He has employed Attorneys Forest and Percy Allen Rose to push the suit while the interest of the municipality will be looked after by City Solicitor Greer. Archie Gray, proprietor of the Gray Hotel at Spangler, purchased the old Killing’s fish pond on the other side of Nicktown some months ago. The old dam had a reputation of being a great fishing resort among the farmers so Archie didn’t do a thing last week but invite his friends to be in readiness for Sunday, Aug. 23, as he was going to drain his fish pond on that day. He urged the boys to bring along all the tubs and boilers they could scare up and the happy party left Spangler at 8:30 a.m. headed by E. J. Bearer, James Whally, Elmer Weakland and about 30 others. Arriving at the dam at 10:30 Mr. Gray hired five farmers to do the work of draining. The nets were placed and the dam emptied and to the surprise of everybody the nets captured six water snakes, four wee turtles, 98 crabs, 400 lizards and seven muskrats. Not a single fish was in sight. Archie blamed the muskrats for eating all the fish. Ed Riningner the restaurant man at Barnesboro bought the crabs and turtles. PATTON ITEMS Mr. Chas. Greninger received a very fine funeral car this week. Episcopal services were held in the Good building on last Sunday by Rev. Potter.

Friday, August 7, 1903 Items from Wilmore C. F. Lingenfelter of Klahn (sic), Blair county, purchasing agent for the Williamsburg paper company is in this vicinity at present buying paper wood and timber for use in the new mill in which Charles M. Schwab is interested. The price offered for hard and soft ample, white birch, beech and elm is $5.25 per cord on board P. R. R. cars at Wilmore. Jack-pine, lind, cucumber, popular and quaking ash are considerably higher in price. A Mr. Thompkins of Burnside, Clearfield county, has purchased from Robert Smith of Lilly the timber on a tract of land belonging to James Itel in the southwestern end of Portage township and a man named Butler of Summerhill is now putting up a steam saw mill on land of Hugh and William Jones, adjoining in Summerhill township, to saw this timber which in all is said to amount to 900,000 feet. The many friends of T. L. Parrish of Loretto who has been for several months a sufferer from heart disease will be pleased to learn that accompanied by his wife and his son?Raymond?he went to Pittsburg last week to take treatment from a specialist in this disease and received much encouragement and is considerably improved in health. Mrs.----Ruth and her sister, Miss Barbara Klinger of Johnstown accompanied by Miss May McCormick came up from Johnstown on Saturday evening last to visit with the family of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormick and on Sunday accompanied by Mrs. McCormick and her daughters, the Misses Othelia, Jennie and Stella took a drive to Loretto on Sunday to hear mass in St. Michael?s church, returning to Wilmore in the same evening and to Johnstown on Monday evening. Miss Mary Wallace of Altoona, accompanied by Miss Catharine Quartz of Cresson, is visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. John McCormick. Mr. F. H. McDunn of Albert Lee, Minn., an employee of the ?Cannon Ball,? railroad, returned on Tuesday from a visit to his brother, Mr. P. A. McDunn of Wilmore. Messrs. George Wenderoth of Chicago and Charles Wenderoth of New York are on a visit to their parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Wenderoth of Wilmore. While the writer was driving to Ebensburg on Monday morning along the road in the California woods he passed Mr. John L. Sechler and a friend who had taken shelter form a drenching rain under a large beech tree at the roadside. To the remark of the writer that it was a bad omen for the Republican candidate to be compelled to seek shelter so early in the campaign, the latter naively answered, ?Yes.? Mrs. ---- Evans, an aged and respected lady and an aunt of Web Griffith of your town, who lives on a farm in the southern end of Cambria township, suffered a slight stroke of paralysis a few days ago. LOCAL AND PERSONAL Miss Isabella O?Neill of Pittsburg is visiting her sisters in this place. Attorney John Kephart returned Thursday from a business trip to Pittsburg. The pupils of Miss Hattie Sharbaugh gave a delightful musical recital in Carrolltown on Thursday evening. Misses Blanche and Florence McDermott, Johnstown, are spending a few weeks in this place visiting relatives. Master Robt. Horan, little son of Mr. W. A. Horan, of Johnstown is visiting his grandparents in this place. Mr. John Parrish and family of Pittsburg are spending a few days with Mr. Parrish?s parents, Squire and Mrs. J. D. Parrish of this place. H. J. Ovemberger of Patton has been selected for the upper room and Miss Katie Lantzy of Lantzy?s Mills for the lower room of the St. Boniface Schools. The story of the man who froze his feet while hunting near Johnstown is accompanied by the tale that there was frost in Clearfield township last night. The frescoers have finished their work in the Catholic Church at Lilly and made a handsome lot of it. The altars, in pure white and gold finishing, are said to be especially beautiful. On last Tuesday the county commissioners awarded to the lowest bidder, J. A. Lord, of Hastings, the contract for masonry for the new bridge to be erected over the Beaver Dam Run at Beaver Dam, White township. The following bids were received by the commissioners: A. K. Huber, Patton, $3,244; Lloyd & Ronian, Ebensburg, $3,000; Ross Anthony, Blandberg, $2,383; Zeigler Brothers & Trevorrow, Somerset, $2,244.65; J. A. Lord, Hastings, $2,215.50. Mrs. C. J. Hogue of Cresson has been suffering from a very painful wound in the eye which was inflicted in a rather peculiar manner. She was holding her baby, which was playing with a rush, when the child gouged the rush into her eye, tearing out a small piece of the white. She was treated by an Altoona specialist. Supervisor Thad Eakins of Reade township was working on the public road with a road machine and six head of horses near the residence of William Shirley recently when an amusing incident occurred. Shirley has an apiary of some thirty or forty colonies of Italian bees. The honey makers evidently did not relish the presence of Eakin?s men. Their pickets first charged on the horses then on the men, when all had to make a hasty but inglorious retreat and that part of the road was left for a cold day. At a well-attended meeting of miners at Patton Thursday evening of last week, Secretary-Treasurer W. B. Wilson of the United Mine Workers of America succeeded in effecting a compromise settlement of the peculiar strike which had been there in progress and on Friday morning the men returned to work. Patrick Gilday, President of District No. 2, helped Mr. Wilson in his good work. The trouble at Patton was due to the attitude of the Socialist miners, who for reasons arising from their peculiar economic creed, refused to sign papers required the authorities of the company to keep as much money from each man?s pay as may be required to pay the check weighman. FALLS FROM LADDER While at work on Tuesday of this week painting the store building of Andrew Eckenrode of Carrolltown, Henry Bender, formerly of this place, was knocked from a ladder and quite seriously injured. It seems that a team tied near by broke loose and getting upon the sidewalk, overturned the ladder upon which Bender was standing. His injuries were at first deemed fatal but his recovery now seems assured _________________________________________________________________ Get more out of the Web.
