Located in a most historic part of the historic Bald Eagle valley, just five miles east of Bellefonte, in Centre county, stands a quaint looking little log house. How long ago it was built no one of the many old residents in the village, of which it isa part, is able to tell. But the length of time the house has been standing is of far less inter- est than the two old folks who occupy it. Centennarians are not met with often, nor are women who depend on the labors of & seventy-nine year old son for a livelihood. ‘Grandma’ Barger, as she is called by the residents of Cur- tin’'s Works, is one of the few. It is she and her eldest son, a bachelor, who call this quaint little house home and subsist on the produce that a forty acre farm turns out under what tilling an ancient looking mule and its ancient owner can give it. 7 SNS or g 3 = 1 dozen or more houses supporting three stores and boasting the seat of govern- ment of a county just fifteen years old. George found employment inthe Val- entine works and staid about Belle- fonte until 1820, when Roland Curtin hired him to work at the new Eagle Works which had just been built near the site of the present forge at Curtin’s. During the time they lived in Belle fonte, Mrs. Barger, saw many a pack train start to Pittsburg, with its load of iron and the product that was not dis- posed of in that market was shipped in arks down Spring Creek to Bald Eagle, thence to the Susquehanna river and Havre de Grace. She was at the old Washington Furnace, the day James Monks, the second murderer to be ar- rested in the county, was hung and remembers well the excitement of that day in Bellefonte, as told her by her husband. After moving to Curtins Works, they removed to Mill Hall, and then back to Curtin’s again in 1832. From that time until the present day she has been an occupant of the little house in which she now lives. In 1852, her husband died, leaving ber with a grown up family of seven children, all of whom are living except two. William resides in Clearfield county, and with his twin brothers, James and Con: stance, who live at Curtin’s now, served his country all through the rebellion. Of the four sons she sent at her coun- try’s call all returned but John. Sam- uel, the eldest. was enrolled four times, W } ' i “GRANDMA BARGER” AS SHE APPEARED TUESDAY, MAY 22nd, 1895. The history of this remarkable old woman is fraught with many inter- esting incidents, since most of her life has been spent in a community in which many of the State's most promi- nent men find ancestral distinguish. ment. Nancy Barger was born on Middle Ridge, in Cumberland county, a short distance below Harrisburg, on Sep- tember 14th, 1791. Her father and mother, William and Rebecca Tate, were among the first settlers of the community in which she lived and after having cleared a small tarm pros- pered, as early day agriculturists were wont to do. Nancy was the fourth born in a family of ten, She had five sisters and four brothers. All of them being dead, the last to die being Eliza- beth who resided in Carlisle, Pa.. until her death several years ago. Atthe age of twenty Nancy fell in love with George Barger, who was a forgeman by occupation, and after he had re- turned from service in the war of 1812, she ran off to the home of her sister, who lived in Perry county, where she married him. This union proved dJie- tasteful to her parents and two years later they decided to emigrate to Centre county, where the Valentines, who had come up from Chester county to em- bark in the iron business, had built a forge and held out inducements for good workmen. but, never being drafted, he remained at home to care for his mother and two sisters. x During a visit to old Mrs. Barger, a few days ago we found her seated by a cheerful fire that crackled away in a shining kitchen stove. After we had explained the object of the visit she seemed particularly pleasant and an- swered our many questions with an accuracy that was almost startling. She is about medium height, remark- ably active and is in full possession of all of her faculties, though her hearing has been impaired since an attack of grip last fall. Within the last month she has been compelled to resort to the use of glasses in order to read, but these seem the only failings she has thus far experienced, since she walked about snd *‘primped up” for her pic ture with almost as much interest as her comely looking grand-daughter, who was visiting her that day, would have taken. She still does a little household work and takes great plea- sure in the gardeo that stretches trom the house to the banks ot the Bald Eagle creek, though she seemed dis- couraged that the frost had nipped it the night before. Aside from a with: ered, slightly emaciated form she would pass for one far younger in years. Her voice is full and clear and we appreciated the vitality ot the re- markable woman in the firm clasp of her hand when we bade her good-bye. THE FIRET PICTURE SAMUEL BARGER, AGE 79, EVER HAD TAKEN. With Samuel, then a babe in arms, and her husband she started over land When the family reached this place, three weeks later, they tound a settlement of a About this time Samuel her bachelor boy (?) put in an appearance. He had heen hauling wood and just stopped for dinner. When he told us that he was seventy-nine years old on the 17th, of last September we took another look at the giant mule he had hitched to his wagon and wondered whether it too had been a sharer in such remark- able longevity. Samuel had never had his picture taken and seemed pleased to death when we asked him to stand for one. By way of furnishing a bit for a biographical sketch he said that he had never smoked, nor played cards in his life, but when we asked him if his abstinence included rum he wiped the tobacco juice off his chin, winked his off eye, and eaid:” No I ain't used any rum uther, but I ain’t got no ob- jection to whiskey and beer.” At the 100th anniversary of Mrs, Barger’s birth, four years ago, the George L. Potter, Post, G. A. R. of Milesburg, presented her with the chair in which she sat for the picture presented above. There is everything to indicate that Nancy Barger will live for some time yet in her pleasant little home at Cur- tin’s which is within a stone’s-throw of the homestead property of the late Judge Charles Huston, father of the Pennsylvania land laws, and judge of the supreme court by appointment of Governor Shulze, in 1826. In connec tion with this it can be said that she was well acquainted with the eminent jurist and recalled his vivid descrip- tion’s of the excitements he experienced after joining General Washington's ex; pedition that passed through Carlisle to suppress the whiskey insurrection that arose when he was a tutor at Dickinson College in 1794. GeorGe R. MEEK. “HER FACE was HER FORTUNE. — This has been truly said of many woman. Yet no face can long retain its beauty unless health is behind it. ‘Woman is subject to so many distress- ing complaints that health and beauty are often prematurely impaired or lost. Fortunate it is that she has at hand so invaluable a friend as Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Multitudes of women throughout the land can person- ally testify, that it affords the only pos- itive cure for the dire legion of ‘female weaknesses.” Suffer and fade away no longer, when this remedy will bring you sure relief. It is the great restorer of health and therefore the best possible restorer of beauty. All druggists. Creston Towa. Dr. R. V. Pierce: Sir—My wife improved in health gradually from the time she commenced taking ‘Favorite Prescription” until now. She has been doing her own housework for the past four months, When she began taking it, she was scarcely able to be on her feet, she suffered so from uterine debil- ity. I can heartily recommend it for | such cases. H. H. SNYDER. 1 i tmnt meet — ——Theo. Swifter—Say, teacher, winter is a great wrestlre, ain’t it ? Teacher— Why so ? Theo.
