Hello Fellow Listers: The Perry Historians - as you may or may not know - is a genealogical library located just east of New Bloomfield, Centre Twp., Perry Co., PA.. We have a great deal of pictures, that we have acquired over the many years, currently in our holding that are unidentified. I have made photocopies of just two of them and will send a scanned image of them to those of you who would like to take a try at identifying them for us. Both photos were taken by Perry County photographers - one from Lenney in Newport and the other from E. C. Miller when he had a studio in Loysville. Please let me know if you are interested.

JOSEPH STUBER. Our Ickesburg correspondent writes: On last Thursday about 11 o�clock as J. T. Millington, was about to put his team away he noticed a man lying in the field near Mr. Loy�s stable. On going to his side he found it to be Joseph Stuber, a citizen of our town. He hastily secured some help and put the sick man in his buggy and took him to his home only a few hundred yards away. Dr. Bryner was hastily summoned and found that Mr. Stuber was suffering from a stroke of apoplexy, and after working with him in the most heroic manner for fully half an hour and using all the means at hand he succeeded in partially restoring him to a semi-conscious state. Dr. Shumaker was then summoned for consultation and arrived later, and upon making an examination verified the diagnosis of Dr. Bryner. The unfortunate man lingered along until midnight of the same day and passed away. Joseph Stuber was born Aug. 6, 1843, and was consequently aged 61 years, 2 months and 15 days. He was a consistent member of the Lutheran church for about 40 years and served as deacon in his church for a number of years. At the time of his death he was treasurer of the Ickesburg Lutheran Sunday school, which office he had held for the last nine or ten years. He was a good husband and a good citizen and his loss will be felt in the community in which he lived. He leaves a widow with no children, one brother and two sisters to mourn his death. Funeral services were held Monday morning, conducted by Rev. J. L. Nicholas; interment at Buffalo. ������.. MRS. GEORGE ELICKER.

Mr. Dunkelberger�s health had been as good as usual, and he had gone to the cornfield to help his wife husk several shocks of corn. He could not husk much on account of several strokes of paralysis which he had had, but while she husked he thought he could husk a few stalks. They had one shock husked and had commenced the second when Mr. Dunkelberger began spitting blood. In a few minutes the blood gushed from his mouth. His wife summoned help, but in a very short time he had passed to rest. Just a moment before he died his wife asked him if he was ready? His answer was, �Yes, I am ready.� He leaves a wife, three children, one brother and two sisters to mourn �����������.. (I�m sorry the bottom of this wedding announcement is cut off.)

This just came through the Blair Co. List. It was transcribed from and 1860 Altoona Tribune: REARING CHILDREN 1. Children should not go to school until six years old. 2. Should not learn at home during that time more than the alphabet, religious teachings excepted. 3. Should be fed with plain substantial food, at a regular intervals of not less than four hours. 4. Should not be allowed to eat anything within two hours of bedtime. 5. Should have nothing for supper but a single cup of warm drink, such as very weak tea of some kind, or cambric tea or warm milk and water, with one slice of cold bread and butter--nothing else. 6. Should sleep in separate bed, on hair mattresses, without caps, feet first well warmed by the fire or rubbed with the hands until perfectly dry; extra covering on the lower limbs, but little on the body. 7. Should be compelled to be out of doors for the greater part of daylight from after breakfast until half an hour before sundown, unless in damp, raw weather, when they should not be allowed to go outside the door. 8. Never limit a healthy child s to sleeping or eating, except at supper; but compel regularity to both; it is of great importance. 9. Never compel a child to sit still, nor interfere with its enjoyment, as long as it is not actually injurious to person or property, or against good morals. 10. Never threaten a child, it is cruel, unjust and dangerous. What you have to do, do it, and be done with it. 11. Never speak harshly or angrily, but mildly, kindly, and when really needed, firmly--no more. 12. By all means arrange it so that the last words between you and your children at bed time, especially the younger ones, shall be words of unmixed loveliness and affection. Hall's Journal of Health.

Mr. Baer was married to Miss Annie Magill, of Juniata county; about 1854, by whom he is survived with the following children: Mary, Mrs. David Hess, of Millersville, Pa.; Katharine, Mrs. J. D. Arnold, of Harrisburg, Pa.; Wm. S. Baer, of Tyrone, Pa.; James M. Baer, of Shermansdale, this county; Ellen B., Mrs. J. P. Kohr, Keystone, this county; Nettie, Mrs. Jas. Chesney, of Kansas City, Mo.; Tirzah, Mrs. F. E. Ferguson, of Carroll township; John S. Baer, of Harrisburg. Sarah, died in 1878. The deceased was a thrifty and industrious farmer until incapacitated by illness, since which time he has been waited on by his devoted wife. He was long a member of the Presbyterian church, this place, and attended divine service until failing health prevented. He led a Christian life. His remains will be interred in the old graveyard, in this place, Thursday. Services at his late residence at 10 o�clock a.m., Rev. I. Potter Hayes officiating. ��������� Many friends in this place will regret to learn of the death of Mrs. F. B. Speakman, which occurred at her home in Coatsville, Pa., Wednesday afternoon of last week after a lingering illness of some years. She is survived by a daughter Ida, Mrs. John A. (looks like Cloyle), of Lancaster, Pa and Frederick W., of Coatesville, Pa. One son Charles died suddenly a few years ago, about a year after the demise of the lamented Col. F____ Speakman. Her remains were interred at Coatesville Saturday morning at 10:30 o�clock. Mrs. Speakman was a member of the Presbyterian church and was a devout Christian lady, beloved by all who knew her. She with her husband resided in this place before the Civil War and for some years after. ������������������������������������������ Our friend D. C. Clark, of Chambersburg, writes that �the death of J. B. Garber and his brother John reminds me of a circumstance. James and Andrew M. Clark died November, 1858, five days apart, as did the Garber boys on the adjoining farm on which the Garbers were raised. The funeral of John A. Garber was largely attended on Saturday although it was very unpleasant to be out on account of the severe dust storms. Two sons, Robert in Kansas and Chas. in Utah, were not present. Charles had spent a month with his father during his illness and returned to his duties some weeks ago. Mr. Garber was aged 66 years, 3 months and 8 days. Resolutions of Respect in Memory of Hon. Jos. B. Garber. At a meeting of a committee of his Sabbath school class held Friday evening, Sept. 30, 1904, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted, to wit: WHEREAS, it has pleased Almighty God in His wise providence, to remove from our midst our dearly beloved teacher and wise counselor, the Hon. J. B. Garber, we deem it our duty as a class to unite with the Sabbath school and the community in general, in hearing testimony of his character and worth as a teacher, exponeat of God�s word and Christian gentleman. Resolved, That in the death of Hon. J. B. Garber, our class has lost an estimable shepherd, a fond and efficient teacher, a perfect man, upright and faithful as a leader, full of honesty and truth. Resolved, That in the death of this good man, St. Paul�s Sabbath school has suffered an irreparable loss, as by his smiling godly countenance, which during his long years of service as superintendent and teacher, his absence from the Master�s service was scarcely ever noticed. Resolved, That this community has lost an ardent citizen and a most faithful and earnest member of his church, full of Christian walk and conversation which goes to characterize a life spotless and that by so living he has earned for himself our highest regard, and may we long cherish his memory. Resolved, That we sincerely sympathize with his beloved children, sisters, brother, grandchildren and relatives in their sad bereavement, and commending them to Him who doeth all things well, and realizing that father has gone to meet a cherished mother and wife as portrayed in these appended lines: �Wife, we�ve been long together, Through pleasant and through stormy weather; �Tis hard to part when friends are dear, Perhaps it may cause a sigh or tear. Then steal away, give little warning, Choose thine own time, Say not �good-bye,� but in a brighter clime, bid me �good morning.�� Resolved, That these resolutions be entered upon the minutes of St. Paul�s Sabbath school, and that a copy be sent to the bereaved family, and that they be published in the county papers.

Johannes Foose was the son of Johanne Foose 1768-1841 who was the son of John Foose B. 1740. Do you have any info on this.

I see the newspaper says Perry and that she was in a Philadelphia Hospital. I have Emma and her family in my tree and several newspaper articles from the Lima Daily News.

Hi Folks: One of our local free newspaper publications, The Guide recently printed a condensed story of Mary JEMISON in their "Meet Your Friends and Neighbors" section by Martie Kunkel. For those unfamiliar with this woman, Mary JEMISON, was abducted by the French and Indians during the French-Indian War and continued to live with the Indians until her death in 1833. I thought she was originally from - I believe the York / Adams Co. area - can anyone verify this?. The article in The Guide states that she was from "western" Pennslyvania. If anyone is interested in the scanned image of the article, please e-mail me privately and I will send it to you. If you ever get a chance to read the book, it is wonderful! I couldn't put it down! Best Wishes... Donna Heller Zinn of Newville, Cumberland Co., PA.
