Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 26, 1904 WOMAN'S CLOTHING AFIRE IN A BUTCHER HOUSE Mrs. Henry R. MUMBAUER, of East Greenville, was on Monday forenoon saved from a horrible death by the prompt action of butcher Emanuel WEISS and his assistant John GEHMAN. The East Greenville butchers slaughtered a porker for Mr. MUMBAUER that morning and Mrs. MUMBAUER was at the butcher house and assisted in the making of the scrapple. When she was standing in front of the butchers furnace stirring the contents her dress caught fire and in an instant she was enveloped in flames. Mr. WEISS and GEHMAN were in the same portion of the building at the time and they quickly came to her assistance. They tore some of the burning clothing from her person and at the same time one of the men turned a stream of water on her from the hose, which quickly extinguished the burning clothing. Luckily, Mrs. MUMBAUER was only slightly burned and the men had their hands only slightly burned. HURT IN RUNAWAY Mr. and Mrs. Harry K. WALT, of Wyncote, were badly injured in a runaway accident Sunday afternoon.

TRAMP IS TAKEN SICK AND DIES IN BARN George DUCKBERGER, a tramp who for many years traveled through Lederachville and at different times lodged in the barns of the kind hearted farmers of that vicinity, on November fifth came to the residence of farmer Samuel LANDIS of that place and asked permission to lay in his barn as he was not feeling well. The permission was granted but DUCKBERGER was removed from the building a corpse ten days later. When the knight of the road asked permission and said he was ill the kind hearted farmer offered to take him in the house and give him a bed to rest in, but DUCKBERGER refused, saying that the barn was good enough. Mr. LANDIS noticed that the man was very sick and so he summoned a physician who administered medicines but despite this fact DUCKBERGER gradually grew worse and last Tuesday he died. He lived to the age of 79 years and 5 months. He was born in Germany. The funeral was held on Thursday of last week at the Lower Salford Mennonite Meeting House at 1.30 o'clock.

PRAISES SONG SERVICE AND HOME TALENT A visitor from Philadelphia writes the following few lines to the editor of Town and Country relative to the Song Service which was held by the Luther League of the St. Paul's Lutheran congregation, of near Red Hill: Those who were absent from the song service held at St. Paul's Lutheran Church last Sunday evening missed a rare treat. The young people of this congregation dererve a great deal of credit for the fine music they rendered on this occasion. Second to none ever given in this part of the country. The duets and solos both instrumental and in song were exquisite. The Clarionet and violin solos by Howard PFLUEGER and David CROLL prove that these young men possess rare musical abilities. SUPERVISOR ILL AND FEARS BLOOD POISONING Supervisor Jacob M. KURZ, of Upper Hanover township, is ill at his home near Pennsburg, with a peculiar affliction. He has sore legs and hands and is unable to attend to his duties. He claims his illness originated from his working at the stone bridge at Copeland STICHTER's place, near the East Greenville borough line, where the borough runs its sewer or drainage into the small stream which passes under the bridge. He had to work in the poisonous water. The attending physician fears blood poisoning to set in. SHOT MANY OWLS Charles KRAUSS, of Dillingersville shot five large owls.

OSWALD (picture), as pastor of the Great Swamp Chestnut Hill charge of the Goshenhoppen Classis, will take place tomorrow forenoon in the Trinity Reformed church near Spinnerstown. The installation committee is composed of Rev. C.S. WEAND, of Pottstown; Rev. J.L. ROUSH, of Sumneytown, and Rev. W.B. WERNER, of Schwenksville. Rev. OSWALD began his labors with this charge about the middle of October. Brief Sketch of Pastor's Life. James Oliver OSWALD is a son of Samuel and Emma OSWALD, and was born Nov. 6th, 1868, in Albany township, Berks county. The early death of his mother brought him under the fostering care of his grandparents who made good use of him on the farm. Soon death claimed his grandfather and a new home was found for James with his uncle, A.S. GREENAWALD, Kempton, Pa., who did not lose sight of the opportunity in educating him. Mr. OSWALD taught in the public schools of Pennsylvania for some years and during this time held two teachers' professional certificates and in May, 1892 he was granted a teachers' permanent certificate. After this he took a business course at Eastman Business College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y., and in the winter of 1894 and 1895 he prepared privately under Rev. J.N. BACHMAN and the following spring under Profs. WEAVER and J.P. BACHMAN for F. and M. College, which he entered in the fall. While at college he was a member of the college Y.M.C.A. and an earnest worker in Sunday-school. He was a member of the Goethean Literary Society and also of the F. and M. Military Company. In his Senior year he was elected to the presidency of the Goethean Literary Society, of his class, and appointed by the faculty as "Tutor of Harbaugh Hall." Mr. OSWALD graduated among the honor men of his class, delivering an oration on commencement day on "Die Deutsche Treue." He won the German prize in a German contest open to members of the Senior class. In the fall of 1899 he entered the Reformed Theological Seminary at Lancaster from which institution he again graduated with honors. In the Senior year he was head librarian of the institution. On October 26th, 1901, he was elected to the pastorate of the Zion's Reformed charge, Lehigh classis, which he faithfully served for nearly three years, until he received the call from the Gt. Swamp and Chestnut Hill charge. SHOT FOR $50 A SIDE Milton S. BREY, of Geryville, Bucks County, a member of the John F.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 26, 1904 TWO MEN MURDERED IN LOWER END OF COUNTY Henry HENDERSON and George HENDERSON, negroes and brothers, were shot and killed shortly before midnight Wednesday night at Bethayres, this county. The murderer was another negro by the name of Frank SAYLOR. After shooting the brothers, SAYLOR took to the woods and was chased several miles by Cornelius WHITE and Constable BLAKE, but he finally succeeded in eluding them. It is said that SAYLOR was jealous of the attention paid by Henry HENDERSON to Miss Margaret SCOTT, of Fox Chase. Late Wednesday night HENDERSON and Miss SCOTT were walking along the road when they met SAYLOR, who had been standing in a clump of bushes along the highway. He called HENDERSON away from the woman, telling him he wished to speak to him. As HENDERSON advanced SAYLOR pointed a revolver and fired two shots in succession. After HENDERSON had fallen to the ground two more shots were fired by SAYLOR, at the prostrate man. Miss SCOTT's screams attracted several men and HENDERSON was carried to the home of Thomas CONNELL, not far from where the shooting occurred, and Dr. David G. ???vey, of Bethayres, was summoned. He could not save the man's life, who expired a few minutes after the arrival of the physician. When George HENDERSON was told of what had happened to his brother he bolted out with the intention of trying to capture the murderer. He met SAYLOR and the latter without saying a word fired four bullets into his body, killing him instantly. The remains of the two brothers were taken in charge by the undertaker at Jenkintown. The second shooting occurred about ??? fourths of a mile from the scene of the first murder. Through the efforts of District Attorney HENDRICKS the County Commissioner decided to offer a reward of $500 for the capture of SAYLOR. A description of the negro has been sent all over the county. He wore a gray suit and dark ???eater. SAYLOR weights about 170 pounds and is very black. BUTCHER FINDS TRAMP IN A REFRIGERATOR The butchers in the employ of A.G. KRIEBEL, Hereford, had a surprise on Saturday morning at about five o'clock which they will not soon forget. In order to get out on the road early with their teams they went to the butcher house and opened the refrigerator doors so that they could fill their wagon with meats. When the doors were swung open, an excited tramp issued therefrom. His form was stiff and numb with cold. Mumbling a few lame words of excuse, he dropped a grain bag containing fifty pounds of choice meat and, with a proper regard for the fighting abilities of the Berks county butchers, bolted for the door, gained the street and covered the next mile in about four minutes, all before the men had recovered from their surprise and thought of catching him. The slaughter house is always opened at 4 o'clock on Saturday morning, the men then going for breakfast before loading the wagons. The tramp had evidently slipped in with the hope that he could get out before any one came to the refrigerating room. ENGAGING SNAP SHOTS Mrs. Dr. W.H.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 19, 1904 COAL DEALERS CAUGHT BY CLEVER SWINDLER Between 8 and 9 o'clock Monday morning coal teams from the yards of James F. BUTZ, George F. FEIFEL and Koehler Bros., Allentown, drove up to the house at No. 129 Church street, and attempted to unload coal. The drivers could get no response to their knocks at the door and when neighbors told them that the house had not been occupied for several weeks the men began to compare notes. Each had a load of pea coal on their wagons and their suspicion became aroused when it was learned that in each case a check had been tendered in payment for the coal. On the return of the drivers it became evident that the coal dealers had been made victims of a clever swindle. On Saturday evening the officers of the above coal yards together with that of E.E. SMOYER, Fourth and Gordon streets had been visited by a young man apparently about 22 years of age, who ordered a ton of pea coal to be delivered at the above number. He said the coal was not needed until Monday morning. He gave in payment in each case a check for $15.50 to which the name of S.W. KLINE, the baker, at No. 1325 Turner street, was signed. The cost of the coal, $5, was deducted and the change $11.50 was handed to the fellow without any further questions. The checks were made payable in each case on the Merchants' National Bank, and Mr. KLINE, whose name was forged to the checks has no dealing with that bank. The swindle was reported to the police when discovered Monday morning, but no trace of the fellow could be found. Mr. SMOYER had intended to deliver his order the same afternoon. MAY GO TO LAW OVER AN ADOPTED GIRL Legal proceedings will probably result over the possession of an 11-year-old girl adopted some time ago by Mr. and Mrs. William McCARTHY, of Pottstown, who took the child from a charitable institution in Berks county. An aunt of the adopted girl now demands the child. Mr. McCARTHY asserts that as the little girl has been legally adopted and has become attached to her foster parents, he will not part with her. FREES MAN FROM JAIL Harry Victor EMANUEL, the expert telegrapher, was released from jail, at Norristown, shortly after 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon. He was sentenced on October 10 to 30 days and $500 fine for his connection with the West Manayunk pool room. His sentence expired on Thursday, but as the fine was not paid he was not released. Saturday afternoon a woman dressed in black appeared and produced the necessary amount to secure EMANUEL's release. The attorneys for the telegraph operator refused to divulge her name, but intimated that she was a close friend and had saved the money herself to secure his release. EMANUEL and his friend left for Philadelphia at 5 o'clock that same afternoon.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 19, 1904 FIRST STORM OF SEASON WAS RECORD BREAKER This section of the Perkiomen Valley was on Sunday visited by the first snow storm of the season, and had we not read the prophecy that Elias HARTZ, the Reading Goose Bone Prophet made we would not have been prepared. It began to rain long before daylight and by nine o'clock it turned into hail and snow and continued all day with high winds. The weight of the heavy snow on the telegraph and telephone wires was too much and it broke them. On Monday morning our streets were covered with broken wires. The telegraph wires on the railroad were also out of service from Saturday evening until Monday evening. Both the Delaware and Atlantic and Keystone telephones as well as the local line were out of service for the major portion of the week. It is thought that had the snow not melted and had laid upon the ground as it fell, it would have been eight inches deep. The snow fall, at Hosensack and farther north was greater than at Pennsburg. The public road leading to Palm from Isaac ROEDER's farm was drifted and impassable. The large ice house which the Knickerbocker Ice Company, of Philadelphia had in coarse of erection at their dam at Green Lane, was blown down by the high winds and must be started from the foundation to rebuild. The building operations which have been in progress in these three boroughs were given a set-back. Sixty-five telephone poles were blown down between Emaus and Macungie. Milton L. MOYER, carrier of R.F.D. No. 2 route, of Macungie, had his first winter experience. When he reached the mountain he found the snow a foot deep and the roads badly drifted. At one place he got stuck and had to cry for help. Two farmers came to his assistance and shoveled his team out upon which he had to go through fields for some distance. FINED FOR NEGLECTING HIS HORSES A.M.F. FOGEL, a truck farmer of Breinigsville, was ordered to appear before Mayor LEWIS at Allentown, on Monday afternoon to answer a charge of cruelty to his horses brought by James STUBER, agent for the Society of the Prevention of cruelty to Animals. The latter had three witnesses to state that FOGEL left his horses stand in the streets from 10 a.m. until after 5 p.m., on Saturday and that the animals suffered from neglect. FOGEL's defense was that he was partly intoxicated and forgot the team. He was fined $10 and $2 witness fees, which he paid. AGED WOMAN WAS ASSAULTED Alone in her home at Bridgeport, Mrs. Lydia ROSS, the aged widow of a civil war veteran, was brutally assaulted by a negro fiend. She was awakened by a noise and realized that a man was in her room. She sprang from bed and grappled with the intruder. The assailant finally beat her down and esaped. It is supposed the man sought her pension money which she had just received. A cigar box found in the room the next morning may serve as a clue to the culprit, for it was the identical box purchased from Mrs. ROSS that Saturday afternoon, by a negro. BAKED THOUSANDS OF PIES IN ONE YEAR The orginator of penny pies in Reading is Mrs. Robert IRVING, who has baked thousands and sold them to school children since she has been engaged in the business. From May, 1903, to May, 1904, she sold 10,790 pies of all kinds. Many bakers have tried to force her out of business by making up penny pies, but they failed. Mrs. IRVING says that the success of making pies lies in her use of the best of materials. She is 69 years old and is still active. DRAWN AS U.S. DISTRICT COURT JURORS Ex-County Commissioner John E. DUBBS, of Locust Valley, and Squire Leon L. SNYDER, of Zionsville, Lehigh County, were drawn on Saturday as grand jurors in the United States district court to meet in Philadelphia, December 12-15. SHOT HIS OWN ARM OFF Leaning over the barrel of his gun while his companion took a drink, Fritz, a young man of Hazleton, had his right arm shot off on Saturday. WILL BUILD LARGE HALL Charles F. MOTZ, the proprietor, of the Red Hill Hotel, has made arrangements to rebuild his sheds and hall which were recently destroyed by fire. He has engaged the services of contractor Clayton H. FRYER, of Pennsburg and a plan for a frame building 60 by 116 has been prepared. Work on the new building will be started at once and the building is to be erected as quickly as possible. The hall will be built about forty feet further back from the turnpike than the old shed, and will be four stories high. The first floor or basement will be made for the stabling of cattle, the second for horses, the third will be made into a public hall and a portion of it will be used for the storage of hay and straw, while the fourth floor will be used for the meeting of lodges. A portion of the second floor will be fitted up with a ten pin alley, a pool room and a shooting gallery. The building will have a French roof and in general it will be the roomiest and best equipped shed in this section of the county. BOY AND GIRL BURNED Two Allentown children, 4 and 6 years old, respectively, were fatally shocked by a live wire on Tuesday while a dozen or more persons were more or less shocked in their endeavors to release the little victims. Susie BOVANS saw a wire dangling from a pole, and each time the end came in contact with the ground it emitted a shower of sparks. This attracted the child, she toddled toward it and seized it in her hands. In a second she was screaming in agony, and try as she might she could not release her grasp of the wire. Her little brother, but two years older, heroically rushed to his sister's aid, and he, too, seized the wire, and with the same result. Then it was that a number of adults tried to rescue the children, but no sooner would they touch them than they would be hurled to the ground by the force of the shock. A lineman was soon found and cut the wire, but too late. Both children were terribly burned, and their deaths are momentarily expected. SUED ON $1,000,000 MANSION To avoid a disputed payment of $150,000 or more, Percival ROBERTS, the multi-millionaire, of Lower Merion Township, this county must answer in Court at Norristown on November 21, where suit is brought against him by George F. PAYNE, contractor. The suit grew out of the erection of Mr. ROBERTS' million-dollar mansion, for which PAYNE had the contract. Mr. ROBERTS discharged him from the job for alleged faulty work, for which PAYNE seeks to recover for his outlay and loss of contract. It is likely that at least three weeks will be necessary to try the case, because of its importance and on account of the amount involved. There will be more than 200 witnesses, many of them experts in building. An extra session of court will be held and the panel of jurors that served at the October Court have been called for the special session. BARBER TAKEN IN CUSTODY John M. BRUNNER, of Emaus, a barber, was arraigned before Mayor LEWIS, at Allentown, on Saturday, charged with disorderly conduct. When arraigned he said to the Mayor: "The end of time has come. I have no time to wait for you. My special train is waiting at the station to go to Bethlehem, which is now the Zion City of the good. Time is at an end." By this time his Honor was looking over the top of his glasses, an interested listener. He finally said: "Well, now; you just go in the other room before you catch that special." The prisoner refused, and it took the combined efforts of three of the heftiest officers in the Court room to put him in a cell. BRUNNER was later turned over to the poor authorities. GUN BARREL BURSTS AND MUTILATES HAND While gunning Monday morning Daniel FOUNTAIN, of Moorestown, N.J., met with a painful accident through the explosion of his gun.

IMPRISONMENT DROVE FARMER INSANE As a sad sequel to the arrest and imprisonment last week of Isaac LINSENBIGLER, of Sassamansville, on the charge of cruelty to animals, the New Hanover Township farmer was on Wednesday forenoon declared insane by a commission in lunacy appointed by the court and he is now an inmate of the State Hospital for the Insane at Norristown. He was last week committed to the Norristown jail for shooting hunting dogs on his farm, after refusing to pay a fine. On Saturday he however paid the fine and left for his home. He arrived at his house in the evening and shortly thereafter he started to threaten his wife and children with death and to make matters worse he secured an ax and brought it in the house. His wife fled to neighbors for refuge and the children were retained in the house. The neighbors were apprised of the threats and the entire neighborhood was in a state of excitement for several days for nobody dared go near the house for fear of being harmed. Since these acts everyone coming in contact with him was alarmed. He has continually threatened to end his life and said that all dogs had to be exterminated. In fact so greatly was the alarm felt by his family that application for a jury in lunacy was made to the Court on Wednesday forenooon. The commission heard testimony in the offices of Attorneys LARZELERE and HILLEGASS at Norristown after which they declared him insane. LINSENBIGLER, who is 51 years of age, is considered a well to do farmer. He has a wife and seven children and they are sorrowful because of the turn of the affair. The man has always been considered a thirfty and saving tiller of the soil and although at times slightly queer no one thought that his mind had been affected. So much as to entirely unbalance him. It is thought that his recent arrest and imprisonment preyed upon him to such an extent as to make him a lunatic.

Ref: Town and Country Newspaper Pennsburg, Montgomery County, PA Saturday - November 19, 1904 AGED CORN-HUSKER OF UPPER BUCKS COUNTY It seldom happens that one who has passed the four score mile stone of his age is as sprightly and active as Peter SELL (picture), of near Steinsburg, Upper Bucks county. Eighty six years ago Mr. SELL was born in Lehigh county and all his long life was spent on the farm. At the age of 25 he married Barbara MUSSELMAN, of near Steinsburg, and soon thereafter bought the farm of his father-in-law. This he cultivated successfully for 34 years. He then moved to Steinsburg, on a lot that he had acquired and cultivated it with care for 21 years. His wife then died and he disposed of both lot and farm and since made his home with Francis MUSSELMAN, his son-in-law. During all of his long life Mr. MUSSELMAN (should be SELL) has been in robust health and he is still hale and hearty. He delights in out-door work and is never idle. The haying season of the past summer found him swinging his Dutch scythe and later he cradled grain with the vigor of former years. He worked his own truck patch and when the corn husking season arrived he was found in the field tearing out the golden ears of corn, husking 217 large shocks. Mr. SELL is the father of twelve children and a number of grand children, and although so far advanced in years bids fair to out-live many who are much younger than he. FACTORY PROMOTER HELD AS SWINDLER Preston A. YOUNG, of Allentown, a promoter of cigar factories and other schemes, was arrested on Thursday, charged with attempting to swindle farmers in the vicinity of Guthsville, Lehigh county. It is alleged that YOUNG promised to start a big cigar factory at that place, purchased a property and after the community was agitated in the prospects of securing a new industry, he began to sell bonds, which are now said to be absolutely worthless. P.J. STEPHENS, a farmer, invested $100 in the enterprise, but when a lawyer told him that the bonds were not worth a cent he had YOUNG arrested. The bonds are crudely drawn and printed by an amateur. YOUNG gave bail for court. FARMER IS KICKED AND INJURED BY A HORSE Levi WELLER, the tenant on the farm of John L. BAUER, situate near Bally, was kicked by a horse while leading him to the watering trough. He was hit on the shoulder and was almost knocked senseless. The prints of the horse's hoof could plainly be seen on Mr. WELLER's body for several days. The kick caused his arm to swell to twice its natural size and for several days he could hardly move the member. He is now again able to attend to his usual duties on the farm. PENNSBURG BOY SECURED POSITION IN PHILA. Morris HOFFMAN, son of Mr. and Mrs. William HOFFMAN, of Pennsburg, has secured a position as stenographer for a Philadelphia firm. He entered upon his duties on Wednesday. MAN AND WIFE WERE CRUSHED IN THEIR MILL Mrs. Levi HEIL was caught on Wednesday, in the machinery of a grist mill operated by her husband in Ephrata, Pa., and in an instant she was being whirled around and around at a terrific speed. In his efforts to release his wife, HEIL's clothing also became entangled in the machinery, and for a time it appeared that both would be literally beaten to death against a corn chopper, which their bodies struck in every revolution of the shaft. Their heart-rendering screams for help attracted the attention of Mr. RETTEW, the owner of the mill, but by the time he reached them the chopping machine had been broken by the compact of the blows from the bodies, and this had stopped all the mill's machinery. Mr. HEIL's left leg was broken in two places, his wife also suffered a fracture of the leg, and both of the victims were horribly cut and bruised about the bodies. Their condition is critical. NEWLY ELECTED PASTOR WILL BE INSTALLED James O. OSWALD, of Spinnerstown, the newly elected pastor of the Trinity Reformed and the Chestnut Hill Reformed churches, of near Spinnerstown, will be installed on Sunday, Nov. 27th. Services begin at 10 o'clock a.m. WILL START A NEW BUSINESS William J. GILBERT, of Pennsburg, will start a Saving Fund business, under the name of Eureka Saving Fund. The object is to save money for all its members who will make small weekly deposits with him. NEW HOSTLER AT THE PENNSBURG HOTEL Geo. SHADE, of Pennsburg, on Thursday morning took charge of the hostler stand at the Pennsburg Hotel. He will be assisted by William BOYER, the former hostler, for an indefinite period. Mr. SHADE had charge of a similar stand at the American House, Pennsburg, until H.B. HEBERLE, the liveryman located his livery there. Mr. SHADE expects to secure a number of teams and run a livery in connection with the hostler stand.

MILLER cigar factory on Tuesday evening, to discuss the question of organizing a fire company. John VONDERHEID was made chairman of the meeting and J.P. KLINE, secretary.

They will also erect a regular Town Hall next spring, in which Councils and the Fire Company can meet and the fire apparatus be housed. FARMERS WILL MAKE IT HOT FOR GUNNERS The farmers in the vicinity of Sassamansville, have been discussing the dog shooting affair of their neighbor Isaac LINSENBIGLER, ever since the occurrence and according to the general feeling of them, they will make it hot for all gunners that will come their way next season. The possibilities are that the farmers will form an association and not allow a single gunner on any farm within a radius of four miles under penalty of the law. Should any one trespass he will be prosecuted at the expense of the association to the full extent of the law.
