Below are clippings from several scrapbooks we have at the Linesville Historical Society. Please enjoy them, and I hope you are able to make a connection! Have a great Holiday Season! Thomas Stratton - The Rev. Thomas Stratton was born at Linesville, Pa., June 16, 1849, and died at Rutland, Vt. March 23, 1924, after a week's illness of pneumonia. He was a member of the class of '76 at Buchte College, Akron, O., and was graduated in 1888 from Canton. His first pastorate was at Plymouth, NH, where "Grandmother Chase" took this young pastor and his wife under her care for five happy years. In 1893 Mr. Stratton went to Rockland, Maine; in 1899 he was called to Potsdam, NY, from which place he went to Hightstown, NJ, and in 1905 answered the call and moved with his family to Rutland, Vt. In 1911 ill-health made it necessary to take a smaller charge. Lyndonville, Vt., was the new field. In due time, with health somewhat improved, a call to Richmond, Vt., was accepted; and later the parish at Woodstock, Vt., invited him to that pastorate. But here failing health again brought a resignation, with retirement from pastoral service in 1919, and return to Rutland to make his home near his daughter, Mrs. B.L.Stafford. This brief sketch of several pastorates gives no idea of the man whose ministry was one of unremitting, sympathetic service, cementing many enduring friendships. The abundance of floral tributes at the home and church were eloquent testimony that "To live in hearts we leave behind, it not to die." Besides his wife, he leaves his daughter, Mrs. BL Stafford; two brothers, Ira and George, at Linesville; and a nephew, Dr. SC Stratton, of Waynesburg, O., who was present at the funeral. The service at the church on Wednesday was conducted by the pastor, the Rev. A.J. Torsleff. Grateful for having known such a soul, with loving tenderness we cherish his memory, as he sets foot on "The world's great altar-stairs, that slope through darkness up to God." - Universalist Leader. Mrs. R.W. Lee - Friends in this section have been sadly grieved by the news of the death of Mrs. Robert W. Lee, of Cleveland, O., which occurred Saturday, Oct. 12. Mrs. Lee will be remembered as Miss Jennie Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Smith, formerly of this place. Mrs. Lee was 29 years old and her death was caused by influenza. Beside her husband and parents she is survived by one daughter, Katherine, aged three years. The funeral was private and was held Monday at five o'clock with interment at Cleveland. Mrs. Lee was born on the old Smith homestead in Conneaut township and with her parents moved to Linesville several years ago. Here the family resided on Penn street in their home purchased of J.H. Griffing. Some time ago she moved to Cleveland with her mother and husband, where they have since resided. For many years Mrs. lee was an employee of the local telephone office, and had a large circle of friends. CONNEAUTVILLE, Jan. 18 - Mrs. Celestia Sproul, wife of Martin Sproul and one of the well known and highly respected aged residents of the community, died very suddenly at her home on Washington street shortly after 3 o'clock Sunday morning, death being caused presumably by a severe heart attack. She was born in Conneaut township June 9, 1849, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Lawrence. She was united in marriage January 1, 1871, to Martin Sproul of this place, the couple having since made their house here. Possessed of a kindly disposition, ever patient and cheerful, the deceased had endeared herself to neighbors and friends throughout the community by her many kind acts and ever present eagerness to be of help to others. She was a favorite with old and young alike, even the small children of the neighborhood being regular visitors in the Sproul home, where the aged couple were never too busy to help them in their play or quell their disputes and quarrels. Mrs. Sproul was a member of the old Universalist church here. Immediately surviving are the husband and two sons, Harry E. Sproul of Hyndman, Pa., and Fern L. Sproul of Erie, and five grandsons, William, martin, Charles and Carl Sproul of Hyndman; Clifford Sproul of Youngstown, O. A brother, James Lawrence Jr. of Meadville, and three sisters, Mrs. Lottie Hague of this place, Mrs. Zatt Ferguson of Buffalo, NY, and Mrs. Hattie Couch of Boston, Mass., also survive. O.S.

Crawford County Searchers, I would like to find a copy of the Obit / death notice of my g g grandfather Benjamin R BUMP of Millers Station, Rockdale township, Crawford Co, PA. I have a report that it was published in the Meadville, PA newspaper paper near the time of his death reported as 20 Aug 1887. The report said It was in newspaper dated 24 Aug 1887 - however a researcher I contacted could not find it - So if anyone runs across Benjamin's notice please e-mail me. Maybe the date is off a bit or even the year is wrong. I believe he is buried in an unmarked grave in the Millers Station Cemetery and no headstone information is available. Thanks from .....

Van Hoesen, employed at the Moore Bros. ice cream plant at Meadville, and residing there was found cold in death at 1:30 o'clock Sunday morning at the plant where he was employed. There is no explanation of the cause for the act other than he was financially involved. He was 55 years old and leaves a wife and three daughters, Mrs. Zeluff, of Buffalo, Sadie, a teacher in the schools in Tidioute and Agnes at home. He was a member of the UP church, the Masonic fraternity, the Odd Fellows and the Royal Arcanum. His body was found by E.C. Moore, and Mr. Guernsey found the body hanging from a shaft in the machinery department in the Moore plant. The coroner was notified and took charge of the body. He left sealed letters to each member of his family. Three hours before his death he was conversing over the telephone with his wife - the last talk was rational, asking if there was anything they needed for him to bring home. There is every reason to believe that the man was suffering from temporary aberration of mind. B.E. Van Hoesen was well and favorably known. He came to Penn Line about 20 years ago from Sinclairville, NY, to take charge of a cheese factory and lived there several years and owned a farm there. He went to Meadville eight years ago as inspector of factories for the McGaw Cheese Company, about three years ago starting in the employ of he people whom he was working for at the time of his death.
