The Tribune, Hastings, PA, FRI 7 DEC 1894, VOL. VI, NO. 46 Page 5, Column 1 JUST AROUND TOWN Short Items of an Interest Peculiarly Local Your attention is called to the new "ad" of A. W. Glasser, in another column. On Monday the Court appointed Frederick Reininger Tax Collector in Gallitzin Borough. Mr. J. B. Decker, returned on Wednesday from Altoona where he had been on business. Mrs. L. L. Brown is at a Philadelphia hospital underground treatment for an ailment of the throat. Miss Mattie Irwin, a charming young lady from Clearfield, is visiting Mrs. L. J. Shunkwater in this place. We congratulate the Johnstown Tribune on important improvements recently made in that excellent paper. Messrs. J. A. Baird and J. Harris, of Duncansville, visited at the residence of Dr. Baird in this place this week. D. C. Foster, publisher of the Keystone Travelers Guide, was a pleasant caller at this office on Thursday morning. Miss Eleanor Clark has opened a dancing school at Mahaffey, in addition to that she is conducting in this place. Mr. John E. Wainwright, who was recently seriously hurt by falling from a chair at his home in this place, is recovering. Rev. Chas. W. Wasson, Pastor of the M. E. church in this place, is conducting a very successful revival at Patton this week. The Christmas season is rapidly approaching, and we would remind some of our readers that it is a good time to pay up that subscription. A number of citizens of Allegheny Township have instituted proceedings in court to oust John P. Hertzog from the office of Supervisor in that Township. Mr. Thos. E. McHugh, of Houtzdale, visited at the resident(sic) of his father in this place this week. He was accompanied by Mrs. McHugh and their child. An attempt was recently made to burn an old covered bridge over the river at Mahaffey. Coal oil was poured on the structure and a match applied, but it failed to burn. Miss Annie Callahan, one of our best teachers, has been ill at her home in Chest Springs since her return from the Institute. As a consequence there has been no school in her room this week. A fierce looking placard written in a foreign language and adorned with skull and cross bones in red ink was nailed on a tree box on Beaver Street on Tuesday night. It attracted considerable attention. Did you ever hear that you could get a stem-winding and stem-setting watch, which is guaranteed for excellent time-keeping, at the low price of $3.35 at Ike Wartelsky's Jewelry Store, Hastings, Pa.? On Sunday evening Max Phillp(sic), and Miss Annie Freeman, of Barnesboro, were married at Altoona by Rabbi Lipshitz, of the Jewish Synagogue in that city. The groom is a well known merchant at Barnesboro. People who claim to be familiar with the signs of winter agree in predicting an unusual amount of cold and snow for the reason we have just entered. The reliability of their predictions remains to be tested. A number of our leading citizens have been subpoenaed to Ebensburg next week to assist the court in determining whether a piano in the opera house here belongs to Work & Young, of Indiana, or to E. F. Spencer, of Hastings. It is said that a certain very respectable young lady in this place has referred to the Postoffice Department a scurrilous letter which was recently sent to her by a young man in this place. If this is true it may be a costly piece of meanness for the author of the letter. Mrs. Joseph Deitrick, wife of Joseph Deitrick formerly assistant Postmaster at Houtzdale, died very suddenly on Tuesday morning at her home in Altoona, of neuralgia of the heart. Deceased was a sister of Mr. Johson Vandusen, of this place, and is well known to many of our citizens. We notice that a good many of our exchanges in writing up the recent dedication of the Cherrytree monument, copied without a credit a long article on the subject, which was published in the TRIBUNE when work began on the monument months ago. The article has traveled over the State pretty well, and perhaps our neighbors did not recognize it, for we know {last line blurred out}.

Notice the item about a local lady going to Philadelphia for surgery. NYC was also popular. Often the local doctor would accompany the patient on the passenger train. My great aunt, Catherine Miller Kline, wife of Baltzer Kline, went to NYC with Dr. Rice for a cancer operation. She died in NYC in 1902 and her body was returned on the train. Trains were often used to transport bodies after the Civil War made embalming and such transport possible. In this area, the Trolley car that ran from Patton to Carrolltown, Spangler and Barnesboro, [between about 1908 and 1924] was often used for a funeral or a wedding.
