    1. News from Pennsburg - December 10, 1904
    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - December 10, 1904 ONE OF THE LEADING BUSINESS MEN OF PENNSBURG BOROUGH Among those who for the past twenty years have been making efforts to build up Pennsburg and its enterprises, none deserves more credit than M.K. GILBERT (picture), of the firm of Gilbert & Hevener. Mr. GILBERT was born about fifty-three years ago at Zieglerville, this county being the son of Frederick GILBERT, a life long resident of that place. He early learned the trade of tinsmith, working in the shop of his father. While still in his teens he got tired of the trade and engaged in teaching in the public schools. He followed teaching successfully for three terms and during the periods between terms he attended Freeland Seminary, now Ursinus College, and assisted his father, working on his trade. In the spring of 1874, he associated himself with William A. WELKER and they opened a general store at Red Hill, under the firm name of Welker & Gilbert, Mr. WELKER being owner of the property. At the time the partnership was formed Red Hill consisted of about ten houses in addition to the hotel. On entering the partnership Mr. GILBERT was single but he married in 1875 and moved into the house adjoining the store, at present conducted by George M. WELKER, in which building Wm. A. WELKER and family also lived. In 1879 the firm of Welker & Gilbert dissolved partnership and the business was conducted for two years by Mr. GILBERT. In 1881 Mr. GILBERT bought the well known corner store property in Pennsburg, from the firm of Shetler & Bissey and succeeded them on assuming possession. In starting business at this place Mr. GILBERT devoted all his time, energy and ability to the enterprise, with a determination to achieve success. His store room soon proved to be too small for the increase in business and an addition was added. As the business increased additional accommodations were provided till at the present time it is one of the largest, if not the largest, store building in the Perkiomen Valley and the stock carried, as to value and quality, is exceeded by none. Almost six years ago Mr. GILBERT felt as if duties, in his advancing years, were more exacting than desirable, associated with himself George H. HEVENER, of Pennsburg, and since that time the business is conducted under the firm name of Gilbert & Hevener. Mr. GILBERT has prospered since he came to Pennsburg, and every legitimate enterprise, requiring public aid, has had his support and assistance ever since he is here. Being very conservative in his views, but of a liberal turn where liberality is economy, Mr. GILBERT has proved an ideal official as a member of the first council of the borough of Pennsburg and as a member of the school board. In addition to his duties as senior member of the firm of Gilbert & Hevener, Mr. GILBERT is serving in the directorate of the Pennsburg Water Company and serving as secretary of the Goshenhoppen Fire and Storm Insurance Company, as well as treasurer of the borough of Pennsburg. SUMMER HOME LOOTED The summer home near Perkiomenville, of Wilson ARBOGAST, of Allentown, was entered by thieves and relieved of goods to the value of about fifty dollars. Mrs. ARBOGAST spent a couple of days with friends at Perkiomenville this week and while there she decided to look at their summer home near there. When she came there she was amazed to find that some one had forced entrance through the window. When she entered the house she found things in a topsy-turvey condition, and about 25 yards of her best carpets, several clocks, bed blankets, clothing and shoes were missing. The loss was estimated to amount to about fifty dollars. Suspicion rests on some one living in the neighborhood and if the person will not return the goods in a short time a search warrant will be issued and his house will be searched. VICTIM OF TORTURERS DIES Abraham KRUPP, the old Franconia township resident who was tortured and robbed by masked man one night a year or so ago, died Thursday morning of last week, aged about 75 years. Mrs. KRUPP, the aged wife who also was tortured at the same time, still survives. Deceased never fully recovered from the shock of that terrible night. NEW WATCHMAN FOR BANK William BOYER, of Pennsburg, this week accepted the position as watchman in the Farmers National Bank of Pennsburg. Mr. BOYER has been hostler at the Pennsburg Hotel for a period of twenty-five years and only recently resigned. He entered upon his new duties on Wednesday. FIRE AT SCHWENKSVILLE The frame building at Schwenksville next to the Item office, was on Saturday evening consumed by fire. The first floor was used and occupied by Miss Kathryn BERGER for a millinery store and the second and third floors by J.K. SHANER as a paint shop. The tenants closed the building for the day only about ten minutes ere the fire broke out and they are unable to account for the conflagration, as everything was all right when they left it. The fire company was called out as soon as the fire was discovered, but the building was doomed, so they placed all their efforts on the saving of the Item office which was close by. The building was insured in the Line Lexington Company for $250, and the millinery stock was insured for $600 in two stock companies. Mr. SHANER carried no insurance and his loss amounts to about $50. The building destroyed was the one in which the "Schwenksville Item" was started by Rev. N.B. GRUBB in 1877. THIEVES STOLE CHICKENS Thieves entered the chicken house of Henry H. SCHULTZ of Clayton and stole about sixty chickens. CALITHUMPIAN BANDS ARE UNLAWFUL It is a fact not generally known that calithumpian serenades are against the law in the state of Pennsylvania. THE PENSION ROLL EXCEEDS A MILLION More than 1,000,000 names are again on the pension roll. Since Executive order No. 78 became operative 4000 names have been added. This is the largest number of names on the pension roll since directly after the Civil War.

    3. Hi... It is me again, asking for more help in addition to what I have asked before in previous posts..... I am at a brickwall with Anna Smith...the daughter of Joseph and Mary Elizabeth Druch Smith.....I don't have much information on her except that in several of her brothers obituaries, she is stated as married to an Eline.....in the 1920 census she was the age of 3 yrs old....and in the 1930 census she was age of 12 yrs old....both times living at home....so we guess her to be born between 1916-1918...... We believe she might have remarried sometime before 1970, because in my great grandmother (Mary Elizabeth (Druch) Smith) she isn't listed as married to an Eline....but there is a Mrs. Nicholas Seacott listed in the obit....we think this might be Anna....but we cannot find any mention of an obit or anything in the SSDI....but Mrs. Nicholas Seacott was living in Allentown, PA at the time of my great grandmother's death..... So we are looking for any information on her...marriages, birth and death dates...anything that might help....appreciate any help....thank you..... Joe Grohol Jr

    1. Harvey Smith/Update of sorts
    2. Joe & Steph Grohol Jr
    3. Hi... I have continued my research of trying to find more information on Harvey Smith, the son of Joseph and Mary A. Beck Smith....I believe him to have been born in 1874...he was 6 years old in the 1880 Lehigh Co, PA Census.... I found two Harvey Smith's that match the age and criteria in the 1900 census for Lehigh Co, FL....I am going on the assumption that he may have stayed in the area that his parents or siblings lived in...Bethlehem, Fountain Hill Boro or Salisbury twnshps....his mother who was widowed in 1900, was living in her son, Preston's household with brother, Erastus, and Joseph Jr and his family....and they were living in Lehigh Co, Fountain Hill Boro...his sister, Sadie, was married to Robert Dreisbach and they were living in Lehigh Co, Salisbury Twnp.... So I found two possibles...but not sure of....even though it sure sounds like him.... He is living as of 1924 when his brother, Joseph died....in his mother's obit, she died in 1922 and Harvey and Joseph are living in Bethlehem....in his sister, Sadie's obit, he is living in Bethlehem in 1923....but in Joseph's obit it said he was living in Doylestown....and that was in 1924.....I am not sure, but back then, I think Doylestown was in Bucks Co...unless Bucks wasn't formed as yet..... Ok...here is what I found for Harvey in the census.... 1) 1st Harvey was living in Lehigh Co, Salisbury, married 5 years to a Ellen and no children....he was born Jan 1874, age 26 yrs old....and was a blacksmith....(I found a Harvey Smith in the WWI Draft Reg, with the date of Jan 13, 1874 Lehigh Co, PA....same person???) 2) 2nd Harvey was living in Leigh Co, Fountain Hill Boro, married to an Eliza for 4 yrs and they had two children, Roland (born Jan 1897, age 2) and a William (born Jan 1890, age 10)....Harvey is 26 born Mar 1874.... In the 1910 census for the 1st Harvey I cannot find....or at least find him married to Ellen or wd or anything.... I was able to locate Harvey who would be 36 or 37 in the 1910 Lehigh Co, Bethlehem Boro....he is listed as divorced and living as a boarder in the home of a Mary Elewell?.....I did find Eliza and the kids...Roland, Mable and Floyd (they had more kids after 1900)....I also was able to locate Harvey in the 1920 census...living in Lehigh, Bethlehem, divorced, with a housekeeper....he was 46 yrs old....and also in the 1930 census, same county and twnp/boro....he was 56, divorced...and this time..this is interesting...he lists his father as born in Germany....We believe, but not positive that he father was maybe from there..... I don't know if that can help anyone or not....but I hope someone can help me continue this research....it would be great if we can connect the dots and this is the Harvey that I am seeking.....I did find Roland in the SSDI...19 Jul 1897 - May 1977 in Lehigh Co, PA.... So that is what I have discovered so far...and with the members of the lists that have helped me...I thank you.... Appreciate any help...and thank you.... Joe Grohol Jr

    3. History of Bristol twp. Bucks Co The Stewarts were among the earlist Scot-Irish settlers in Bucks Co__John of Northampton and Warwick, Robert of Warwick, and Thomas of Tinicum. Charles Stewart, who 1st appears in Plumstead, 1738, was probably a son of John, who was at Northampton, 1729. In 1757, April 1, he bought 116 acres in Plumstead of William Allen. His children were George, Charles and Rachel. The Charles Stewart is probably the same who afterward removed to Upper Makefield, which a comparison of signatures, from 1738 to 1791 makes quite conclusive. Charles Stewart married the widow of David Lawell, Newtown, 1756/57. At this time his residence was given at Plumstead. This was probably a 2nd marriage, as John Harris married his daughter Hannah about the same time. While it is thought she moved to KY for good, 1797, she appears to have been Bucks Co, in 1803, where she acknowledged a p.o.a. to Robert Frazier, authorizing him to convey her interest in the Mansion Home, Newtown as the instrument was executed there. In a letter of attorney, dated June 30, 1797 which Hannah Harris and Mary Hunter executed, they are spoken of as "late of Woodford, in the State of KY, but now of Bucks Co." When Charles Stewart went to Upper Makefield we do not know, but he was there Feb 5, 1773 Buried at Northampton Co Steward William, born 1758, died 27 June 1841 Catharine his wf. 1778-1844 Robert, born Nov 1, 1768-July 7 1836 Marie his wf. 16 April 1776-29 April 1835 5 July 1794 Estate of John Stewart, died about 4 years ago, Upper Smithfield twp., but lately of Tiogo Co., NY Phila Co.

    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - December 10, 1904 COMMITTED TO JAIL FOR NON-SUPPORT John HARTZELL, of near Sumneytown, was on Monday committed to the county jail by 'Squire KLINE, of Green Lane, on the charge of non-support and deserting his family. Some time ago he left his wife and children and as they were in destitute circumstances they were removed to the county almshouse. The Poor Directors located Mr. HARTZELL and preferred the charge which placed him in prison. ENTIRE FAMILY ASPHYXIATED Through a defective stovepipe, John HABORE, his wife, three children and niece, Mary HABORE, of Upper Lehigh were overcome by coal gas. All were found unconscious on Tuesday morning. A three-year-old daughter, Mary, is dead and the physicians are endeavoring to save the others with little hope of success. AGED WOMAN ALMOST ROASTED TO DEATH While striking a match to light a lamp, Mrs. Susan L. SHUMAN, of Allentown, accidentally set fire to her clothing and was literally roasted. Mrs. SHUMAN is an aged woman, and resided with a son of her first husband, William REICHELDERFER, who is employed at the Allentown rolling mills. The son had not yet returned from his work when Mrs. SHUMAN, evidently wanting to light a lamp, struck a match. In some way her clothing became ignited, and flashed into a mass of flames instantly. The woman started for the door, which she managed to open, and then fell flaming to the porch. A neighbor's child saw her fall, and called her father, who with the aid of passers-by, quickly extinguished the flames with a length of carpet which happened to be hanging on the fence. Several physicians were summoned, and responded at once. After making the woman as comfortable as possible, she was removed to the hospital in the ambulance. The woman's head, arms and body were literally roasted. She was in the habit of wearing a lace cap, and this, no doubt, made the burns on her head more severe. At the hospital it was not expected that she would survive the night, having inhaled considerable flame and smoke. Her age, also, counts against her. Although for many years past her children have offered her a home with them, she steadily persisted in living alone. Her children have done everything possible for her comfort. TEACHER OUT ON SOMNAMBULIST RAMBLE Miss Sarah OREM, a teacher in New Britain township Bucks County, returned from school and threw herself on the bed to take a nap. While asleep she walked out of the house, and having been gone for some time, search was made for her. She was found with a badly cut foot, an artery having been cut on an ax in her somnambulist rambles. She was still asleep when found, walking toward the house, and knew nothing of the occurrence. She is now unable to attend to her duties. LIVERYMAN DIES SUDDENLY AT READING Howard F. BOYER, one of Reading's best-known citizens and for a number of years chief of the Reading Fire Department died suddenly of heart failure, superinduced by pneumonia, on Tuesday morning. He was born at Boyertown, and in 1848 established a livery, in which business he was engaged at Reading, up to the time of his death. He served as chief of the Fire Department from 1872 to 1886. PAID TOLL, FINE AND COSTS A Mr. REIFF, a cigar agent from Lederachsville, drove through Zill's toll gate, near Silverdale, Berks county, some time ago and repeated the trick Monday morning without paying toll. He was arrested by Jacob S. WISMER, being tracked to Bedministerville, where he was thoroughly surprised when put under arrest. He willingly paid the fine and costs which were imposed. BABES ACCOMPANY MOTHER TO JAIL When Mrs. Mary DAVIS was sent to jail at Norristown on Wednesday because she was unable to pay the costs that had been imposed upon her in Criminal Court she was accompanied by her two children, the youngest being 9 months old, Warden GOTWALS refused to admit the children, and they were kept in the jail corridor until Deputy Sheriff John DAVIS arrived and took them to their father. FELL DOWN STAIRS WITH LIGHTED LAMP Miss Irene NASE, daughter of Harvey NASE of near Tylersport on Sunday evening fell down stairs with a lighted lamp. She had gone up stairs to dress to accompany another girl to church and while ready to descend she tripped and fell. One side of her face was painfully burned, and she received several bruises through the fall.

    1. News from Pennsburg - December 3, 1904
    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - December 3, 1904 MISCREANT SPRINKLES CORN WITH PARIS GREEN Close upon the stealing of a hog out of the cellar of J. JOHNSON, at Swoyer's Crossing, near Kutztown, comes an attempt to poison the live stock of Mr. JOHNSON. An unknown fiend entered the corncrib of Mr. JOHNSON and sprinkled the corn with Paris green while Mr. JOHNSON was at work at the Kutztown foundry. Mrs. JOHNSON first noticed the poison on the corn and also found the empty can in which the Paris green had been brought to the corncrib. She immediately sent for her husband, who left his work to work out a clew as to who the person could be that perpetrated the deed. Some time ago one of Mr. JOHNSON's hogs became sick and suddenly died. Just before the hog died Mr. JOHNSON secured a veterinary surgeon, who diagnosed the case as one of poison. The case was thought strange, but no suspicion was raised at the time that the deed was done by any person with malice aforethought and no attention was given to the matter. Mr. JOHNSON will have the matter thoroughly investigated. SUED FOR DAMAGES John W. MORRIS, of Norristown, has brought suit against Dr. J.R. CARE, of the same town, for $16,000 damages, because of alleged negligent treatment of a broken arm of plaintiff. Mr. MORRIS, through his attorneys, Hillegass & Larzelere, has filed a statement, the allegations of which are as follows: On August 5, 1903, the plaintiff, residing at No. 508 Stanbridge street, Norristown, being the proprietor of a blacksmith shop, and doing a large business, met with an accident, resulting in the fracture of the two bones of his left forearm. On the same day the defendant was called to plaintiff's residence, and reduced the fractures, taking from that time full charge of the case, placing the arm in splints. It is further alleged that Dr. CARE in a grossly negligent manner treated the fractures and injuries so that he was obliged to resort to the expenditure of large sums of money for hospital service, other medical attendence, nurse's attendance, carriage hire, etc., all because his injuries had not received skillful treatment in the first place. Dr. CARE formerly resided at Centre Point and had a lucrative practice there. TWIN BABES ARE BURNED IN HOUSE Leaving her 3-month-old twin daughters in a cradle together, Mrs. Lizzie SHENDALE went out in the yard to hang up clothes Monday afternoon, and when she turned around was horrified to see her house in flames. The house was a frame structure, a short distance west of Coatesville. Stricken with grief, the mother could not venture inside the house to rescue her babies, and they were burned together with the house and contents. WRITES LETTER TO THIS OFFICE Frank K. WALT, of Reading, formerly of Pennsburg, this week wrote a letter to this office from Illinois. In it he states that the weather there is fine and that the farmers are having an immense corn crop.

SLEPT ON RAILROAD TRACKS Walter SLAYSMAN, a Douglassville iron worker, while in a drunken stupor, went to sleep on the Philadelphia and Reading tracks, at Pottstown.

FREED has resigned as burgess of Souderton, and Montgomery Court will appoint his successor. FELL FROM MOVING TRAIN Dr. J.B. RHOADS, a prominent resident of Boyertown, narrowly escaped serious injury at the Reading Railway station at Pottstown, by stepping off a northbound passenger train before it had come to a stop at the station. He was cut about the head by the fall. Dr. RHOADS, who is past 60 years of age, had been to Philadelphia, where he was the guest of his son, Lieutenant J.B. Leidy RHOADS, of West Point, at the game of foot ball at Franklin Field on Saturday between the Army and Navy teams. He took a train for Pottstown early Sunday evening, getting on train due at 7.51 o'clock. Dr. LEIDY (should be RHOADS), who is quite active for a man his age, was among the first to alight. He did not wait until the train had stopped, but stepped off while it was in motion. Dr. RHOADS was not aware that the speed of the train was so great, and he was carried off his feet. He was thrown heavily to the ground, but away from the wheels of the train, which by that time had come to a stop. A number of passengers hastened to Dr. RHOAD's assistance, and he was taken into the waiting room. It was found that he was not seriously injured. He was slightly cut about the eyes and nose by coming in contact with the gravel between the tracks. He was also slightly bruised about the body. Dr. RHOADS was able to proceed to his home in Boyertown. NEW EMPLOYEE WAS A THIEF A.C. KOONS, who conducts the livery stable at the Tremont Hotel, Lansdale, notified the police of Norristown, of a horse theft that occured there on Wednesday night. Last Monday Mr. KOONS employed a man who gave the name of David THOMAS. On Wednesday night a resident of Willow Grove, who had missed the last train wished to be driven to his home. A team was secured and THOMAS was ordered to make the drive. He drove the man to his destination and since that time he has not been seen. Information has been received, however, that indicates that THOMAS drove on to Philadelphia. The horse is described as being a bay pacing mare, 9 years old and 15 1/2 hands high, with white fetlocks and white spots on the shoulders. The harness was nickel mounted and the buggy had red running gears. A lap robe and a blanket were also stolen.

INSANE MAN CAPTURED NEAR POTTSTOWN Reuben KULP, 45 years old, who has been an inmate at the Hospital for the Insane at Norristown, for the past nine years, escaped from the institution last Thursday. He was captured Sunday afternoon at Douglassville. KULP had entered a house and asked for a needle and thread. Shortly afterwards he was taken into custody and returned to the hospital. MUST ANSWER DESERTION CHARGE Howard LUFT, a Pottstown resident, is a prisoner at the county jail. He was sent there in default of $300 bail, to answer, at court, the charges of desertion brought against him, before "Squire BAIR, by his wife, Mrs. Kate LUFT. A DOGS FIDELITY In the upper of the famous Sequatchie Valley, in East Tennesse, a man and his wife settled when the country was new and wild, says the Springfield Republican. One of the first crops that they raised was a considerable field of cotton, when it was ready to be picked they went out together, prepared to make a holiday out of this pleasant labor. Their one baby was left in a cradle at the edge of the field and the faithful dog was instructed to watch the tiny sleeper. After a considerable time they looked toward the cradle to see if all was well there. They were startled by the discovery that the little couch had been turned completely over. The dog was making queer dives underneath and yelping as if in anger. As they hastened to the place they were horrified to find the animal's jaws covered with blood, and instantly came to the conclusion that he had been rending the child with his teeth. The angry father hit the animal a death blow with a cudgel and then hastily turned the cradle right side up. There was the baby all unharmed, and there in the bedding was an enormous rattlesnake, killed by the faithful dog after a fierce fight, in which both combatants had received many wounds.

FORTY-EIGHT YEAR OLD HORSE DIES The oldest horse in Montgomery county died last week in the stables of John G. ARMSTRONG, of Montgomery township. The animal was forty-eight years old and was owned by A.G. FREED, a former Lansdale resident. Seven years ago Mr. FREED gave the horse to Mr. ARMSTRONG with the understanding that he must not sell or ill treat him. He was then thirty-nine years old and it was thought his days were about ended. The animal lived on and only last summer he was so frisky that he ran away with a hay rake to which he was hitched. GUNNERS WERE SUCCESSFUL O.J. ENGELMAN, proprietor of the Steinsburg Hotel, H.H. SOUDER, proprietor of the Bush House, Quakertown, and several others from the latter town, who spent several weeks in the wilds of Pike county, on a hunting trip, returned on Monday evening. They were quite successful, having shot four deer and two large black bear. The game was brought along back and Mr. ENGELMAN will have a deer and bear lunch this evening. FINANCEE GETS MUCH PROPERTY Aucilliary letters of administration were granted in Philadelphia, Tuesday, by the Register of Wills in the estate of Edward L. WENTZ, the wealthy young Philadelphian, whose mysterious death in the mountains of West Virginia has never been cleared. The estate is variously estimated at from $200,000 to $500,000 and the bulk of the property is left in trust for the benefit of his fiancee, Cornelia BROOKMIRE, who lives in St. Louis. A WELL ATTENDED SERVICE The special sermon to lodge members given in the Pennsburg Reformed church on Sunday evening by Rev. G.W. LUTZ, was exceptionally well attended. There were about 625 people present and nine lodges were represented. The sermon was an instructive one and was well received by the large audience. Every available space in the spacious church was occupied. The collection amounted to thirteen dollars. THREE YEAR OLD TOT STARTS A FIRE Alone for a few minutes, three-year-old Mary METTZ of Reading pulled a table cover on Tuesday evening and threw an oil lamp on the floor at her home on Buttonwood street. Although the room was ablaze in a moment, the child escaped the slightest injury. The fire was quickly extinguished and the damage amounted to only about five dollars. RAISED A COLT ON A BOTTLE Ex-Senator Frank R. BRUNNER, of Eschbach, is proud of an orphan colt which he has brought up on the bottle. FORGED LAWYER'S NAME TO BORROW MONEY Accused of forging the name of Lawyer A.S.L. SHIELDS, of Philadelphia, to a check for $9045 which he left as security for a loan with Robert BECK, of No. 8.10 Callowhill street, of the same city, Samuel NOLL, of Lansdale, was on Wednesday held in $500 bail for Court by Magistrate TERNAN. NOLL had been employed by BECK, and on Monday he went to his old employer and borrowed $2. Later BECK says he returned and borrowed $2 more and left a check drawn on the Lansdale Trust and Safe Deposit Company. He said the check was for money due him from an estate which Mr. SHIELDS had settled. NOLL, according to BECK, said he would return on Tuesday and deposit the check with the Corn Exchange National Bank. He did not show up on Tuesday, and on examination BECK discovered that the check was very clumsily drawn. The figures $90 were in the corner of the check, but the amount called for on the body of the check was $9045. Mr. SHIELDS told BECK that he never heard of NOLL and pronounced the check a forgery. So when NOLL appeared at BECK's place Tuesday night he was arrested. Several checks for small amounts were found in his pockets. The man is believed not to be mentally sound by the police, and thorough inquiry will be made before the case is pressed against him. SELLERSVILLE MAN PAYS FINE AT ALLENTOWN Jacob WARNER, a cigarmaker of Sellersville, came to Allentown Tuesday evening to attend a wedding. The frequent toasts to the newly married couple left Jacobs' brain in badly befuddled condition, and he spent nearly the whole night wandering the streets in an effort to find a way home. Early Wednesday morning he stopped Rebecca MOYERS, an employe of Peters & Jacoby's near the latter's dining rooms and insulted her grossly. Charles KNERR another employe of the plalce came to her rescue and had WARNER locked up. At Mayor's Court the offender was fined $5, which was furnished by friends. THROWN FROM WAGON AND HAD CHEST CRUSHED When John HENRICH, of Sellersville, was hauling gravel from the creek on Friday, the front wheel struck an elevation of ground which gave the wagon such a jar that it pitched. Mr. HENRICH head foremost over the front of the wagon and at the same time the front wheel passed over his chest, crushing it in and breaking several ribs. He kept hold of the lines and was dragged some distance which skinned up his face and other parts of his body in a horrible manner. He is in a critical condition, and there are very little hopes for his recovery. LOAD OF CORN FODDER TOOK FIRE Last week while six men were loading cornfodder in a field on Edward W. TWINING's farm, near Yardley, Bucks County, smoke was noticed to rise from the loaded wagon. The two horses were soon panic stricken and it was with the greatest difficulty they were unhitched. In a few moments the flames burst out enveloping the wagon and burning it and its contents. It is supposed that matches had been left in some of the shocks by the Italians working on the trolley road as these men had been seen taking their morning rest hour in the field. GASOLINE HOUSE DESTROYED BY FIRE The gasoline house and an adjoining ice house of A.H. NYCE, the merchant and clothing manufacturer, of Vernfield, was destroyed by fire on Saturday at about ten o'clock. The large three story brick building alongside of the ones destroyed by fire was saved by a bucket brigade and the heroic work of the neighbors. The orgin of the fire is a mystery. MELANCHOLY WOMAN KILLS HERSELF Rendered desperate, it is said, by her inability to provide a home for her fifteen-year-old son, Mrs. Henry CORNELL, 55 years old, a domestic, employed by Dr. J.C. MARSHALL, of Coatesville committed suicide Tuesday morning by drinking carbolic acid. The woman's husband is in Harrisburg, but at one time the family resided in Philadelphia and was well-to-do.

    1. News from Pennsburg - December 3, 1904
    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - December 3, 1904 ONE OF THE BUSIEST MEN OF MONTGOMERY COUNTY'S BUSY SONS Milton H. WALTERS, Esq. (picture). Rudy is the home of one of the most busy and active men of the county. His time is divided among his diversified interests so that he has hardly an idle moment. Born in Marlborough, in 1848 Mr. WALTERS was raised on his father's farm and during his early boyhood years attended the public schools of his native township and later the private schools of his vicinity, Washington Hall, Trappe; and Freeland Seminary, now Ursinus College. At the age of fifteen he became a public school teacher and taught for four consecutive terms in Upper Salford township. When sixteen years of age he was elected Sunday school superintendent and has ever since served in that capacity. At the age of twenty Mr. WALTERS apprenticed himself to learn the milling trade and followed that successfully for sixteen years. Later he engaged in the wholesale clothing business, but followed it only one year. In 1887 Mr. WALTERS bought the ex-Sheriff Rudy farms at Salford station, where he now resides. He immediately turned his attention to farming and has continued at it ever since. Later he acquired more land and for a number of years he has been conducting the farming operation on upwards of 200 acres. In the fall of 1889 his party, the Democratic, honored him by electing him to serve in the Legislature of 1890-1891. Among other official positions, he has served as school director for nineteen years and is at present serving as such, Secretary of the Board of Health for Salford township, Justice of the Peace for eighteen years, Vice Chairman of the Montgomery County School Directors' Association, Standing Committeeman for his district, Treasurer of the Montgomery County Democratic Committee, and one of the managers of the Union Mutual Fire and Storm Insurance Company, of Norristown. In addition to these official positions, Mr. WALTERS is engaged as broker and real estate agent and Life Insurance solicitor. The multifarious duties of the various enterprises in which Mr. WALTERS is engaged and with which he is connected keep him so busily employed that he has hardly a minute that he can call his own, yet with all his duties he is cheerful and pleasant and is ever courteous and showing the civilities of the old school gentleman. Mr. WALTERS has always been a faithful and consistent attendant at church, being a member of St. Paul's Lutheran church of Upper Hanover, where he buried his entire family of his youth, his first wife, one son and one daughter. CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY The golden wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Robert ESHBACH, of Pennsburg, was celebrated last Friday. Their children and grandchildren tendered them a surprise on the occasion. The aged couple were agreeably surprised when they saw all of their family at their home. The evening proved to be an enjoyable one to all. A splendid dinner was served. Those present were: Hon. Horace ESHBACH, wife and children, of Pennsburg; Mrs. Emma HERSH and children, of Pennsburg; Mr. and Mrs. Daniel U. REED, of Norristown; Mr. and Mrs. C. LEITENBERGER, of Philadelphia, and Miss Ruth ESHBACH, of Pennsburg. SPURNED BAG OF GOLD To get a bag of gold fresh from the Klondike, to think it was coal and refuse to accept it for fear of being a practical joker's victim, and then to find that the bag contained a small fortune, was the experience of L.C. SMITH, a Williamsport produce merchant. Returned to the express office, the sack, an ordinary canvass affair, was tossed into a corner, where it remained until another L.C. SMITH appeared, proved his property and opened the sack. It was full of gold quartz, estimated to be worth $4000 or $5000. While the last named SMITH was en route from the Klondike the sack went astray. Locating it he had it forwarded to Williamsport by express and trusting to luck to recover its valuable contents completed his journey leisurely. The other L.C. SMITH, who lives in Williamsport, refused to accept the shipment, which seemed to be for him. ELECTED PRINCIPAL OF EAST GREENVILLE SCHOOLS The Board of Directors of the East Greenville public schools elected Frank FISTER as Principal of the schools in place of J.C. LANDIS, who recently resigned. Mr. FISTER will take charge of the schools on Monday. Prof. W.E. SHERMAN, of Kutztown, had charge of the school since Mr. LANDIS' resignation, but he also resigned on Wednesday. The balance of the week there was no school, in that room. PENNSBURG WORKMAN'S COAT CAUGHT FIRE The coat of Oliver C. TRUMBORE caught fire on Thursday while he was assisting Wm. B. DIEHL in putting a tin roof on a building. Mr. TRUMBORE had been smoking a pipe and placed it in his pocket before the tobacco was all burned out. The side of his coat and a portion of his trousers were burned ere he could extinguish the fire. ACCEPTED POSITION AS STENOGRAPHER Adam McCLEAN, of McLeans, left on Wednesday for Wilmington, N.J., where he has secured a position as stenographer.

    2. Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - December 3, 1904 PROPRIETOR OF HOTEL LEFT FOR OTHER PARTS Fearing to face his creditors, it is alleged, John F. MENSCH, proprietor of the Green Tree Hotel, in Frederick township mysteriously disappeared last Thursday. All traces of him have been lost for ten days, although a persistent search for him has been made by his family. Mr. MENSCH is a well known hotel man and has conducted the Green Tree Hotel for a number of years. He was reputed to be in good financial circumstances until recently, and close upon the news of his disappearance came hints of irregularities in his business dealings that have surprised his friends. During the past few days it is said that notes which Mr. MENSCH turned into cash at the Schwenksville National Bank, and which were discounted by that institution, have been discovered to be forgeries. The authors of the notes claim that they never put them out. The extent of the worthless paper said to have been issued by Mr. MENSCH is not known. His creditors have taken steps to protect themselves and judgments have been issued against the missing man. Sheriff LARZELERE has seized his property and will sell it to satisfy Mr. MENSCH's numerous creditors. It is claimed that Mr. MENSCH has of late been a heavy drinker and that the excessive use of intoxicants made him unfit for business. He left a wife and seven children. The oldest is only eleven years of age. SLACKED LIME IN CREEK James, son of Farmer Abraham DOTTERER, of Hill Church, Berks county, had an experience one day last week which he will not soon forget. He was hauling lime from the OBERHOLTZER lime kiln and had sixty bushels on his body wagon. He thought he would use a quick way of slacking it, so he drove into the creek with the load and poured water on the lime. By the time he was ready to drive out of the creek the lime spread, bursted the body and broke the chain on the top-boards. Mr. DOTTERER, Jr., will in the future slack the lime in the old fashioned way. BOY WAS CAUGHT WHILE FELLING TREES Allen RITTER, of Hill Church, Berks county, assisted his father, David RITTER, in felling a tree and was caught by the branches. He was pinned down to the ground and it was some time before he could be extricated. His nose was broken and he received slight bruises about his body. Dr. R.Y. LECHNER, of Bechtelsville, was summoned and dressed the lad's injuries. HANGING LAMP FELL FROM CEILING A slight fire occurred in the hardware store of John F. WEYAND, of Pennsburg, on Saturday evening. The hanging lamp in the office fell from the ceiling and the oil was scattered on the floor and burning. Henry D. SPAAR, the salesman discovered the blaze at once and hurriedly extinguished the fire with the dry powder fire extinguisher. The damage was very slight. WILL OPERATE BIRCH DISTILLERY AT BALLY John FOX has erected a birch distillery close to MELCHER's pantaloon factory, at Bally, in order to use Mr. MELCHER's power. He expects to start manufacturing birch oil, about Monday. He already has a large supply of material at the distillery. THIEVES STEAL BOOTS AND SHOES Thieves ransacked the shoemaker shop of Jeremiah CASE, of Bally, Tuesday night. They took with them several pair of boots, one pair new ones and several other small articles. They also visited several other places, but secured no booty. DOG'S SCRATCH KILLS MASTER Philander K. POTTER, of Scranton, died on Wednesday of hydrophobia, caused by a scratch from a pet dog which he was chloroforming two weeks ago, the dog having gone mad. BULL GOES MAD Farmer John RHOADS, of near Steinsburg, had a thrilling experience with an infuriated bull, which he purchased at a public sale about a week ago. After purchasing the animal he drove him to his home and when ready to put into stable the bovine becomes infuriated and started to run away. Several neighbors assisted Mr. RHOADS in trying to secure the animal but without avail. For one whole week the bull was running wild and Mr. RHOADS concluded to shoot the animal. E.G. KRAMER and Edwin ROEDER started out one morning to shoot him, they got a glimpse of him, but he got away from them before they could fire at him. They then scoured the woods until late in the afternoon when they came close enough to shoot him. The carcass was then removed to Mr. RHOADS who slaughtered it. MAYOR SENTENCED HOBO TO BATH TUB Mayor PRICE, of Wilkesberre, on Wednesday sentenced Joseph KUTZ, a vagrant, to spend two hours in the bathtub. "Make the water hot, and let him soak," he ordered. After the bath KUTZ spent forty-eight hours in the lockup on bread and water, and he will then be removed, in any direction he wants, thirty miles from that city. As the city does not provide a fund for deporting vagrants, Mayor PRICE will foot the expense of sending him the thirty miles. He has done this in several cases, preferring to pay the money rather than have the vagrants remain in town. He thinks the bath sentence will frighten some of them away. MOBBED HUSBAND BY MISTAKE For some time residents on Grant street, Allentown, have been perturbed by one of their fellow countrymen persistently beating and maltreating his wife. Wednesday morning his wife came screaming from the house and ran down the street, and the neighbors piled into the dwelling and gave the husband a terrific beating. Then they learned that the wife had not been touched, but had only become hysterical on account of the sickness of one of her children. MAY NEED THIRD JUDGE FOR NEXT WEEK A third judge may again be required in this county, for the December term of court, the criminal sessions of which will begin on Monday next. The PAYNE-ROBERTS civil suit encroaches and will not be finished until the criminal court opens. If such be the case a third judge will be necessary to take the place of Judge SWARTZ in the criminal court, and thus permit the court to dispose of the many cases. SIXTY-FIVE BITES AT $17 EACH In the Cumberland County Court on Monday in the case of Harrison NOR against William MELL for $2500 damages, the jury rendered a verdict in favor of NOR, for $1100 and $325 for his father. This was the bulldog case in which damages were claimed for injuries inflicted upon young NOR by two ferocious bulldogs which jumped upon him, biting him 65 times. The dogs were killed. AUCTIONEER PUTS UP BIG BELL Phaon DIEHL, the auctioneer, of Allentown, this week received a bell weighing 1200 pounds from Chicago. The bell will be placed on the top of his new seven-story building on North Eighth street and will ring for the first time Christmas morning. It will be used to announce auction sales. STARTED A DANCING SCHOOL AT CRESSMAN William OMEN, of Cressman, formerly of Quakertown, started a dancing school in the hall at the Spread Eagle Hotel, Cressman. The class meets once a week on every Wednesday evening. MAY GET PORT APPRAISERSHIP Rumor has it that District Attorney Abraham H. HENDRICKS, of Pottstown, is to be appointed to the office of the Appraisership of the Port of Philadelphia, as successor to the late Linn HARTRANFT, a Montgomery county boy. NEW PROPHET RISES IN BERKS COUNTY George YOUNG, an aged tinsmith, of Hill Church, Berks county, claims to have the ability of foretelling the winter weather. He says no ice will be housed this year until after the holidays. DIED ON HEARING NEWS OF DEATH When Mrs. Sarah BOWMAN, of Norristown, was informed of the death of her brother-in-law, Mark BOWMAN, she fell over and expired. The woman had been ill for several days.
