are beivg caught daily in the streams
that flow through this place and the
officer deserves credit for his attempt to
break up the unlawful practice, but he

Many DEaTHS IN THE COUNTY.—
While the holiday season brought joy
to many households through this
broad land there are those into which
death’s blighting sting entered to leave
a sorrow which only time can comfort
No matter what the occasion death
seems always to be with us, and just
when we least expect it some loved one
is stricken as if more to illustrate our
ephemeral existence here than to mark
the closing of a finished life.

WILLIAM B. NORRIS.
The subject of this sketch was born in
Liverpool, England, March 13th, 1809,
and died at Lemont, December 24th,
1895, consequently he was 86 years, 9
months, 11 days old. In 1828, when 19
years of age, he came to seek his fortune
in this “land of the free and home of
the brave,” doing his first work in this
country, on the Harper’s Ferry canal,
Subsequently he traveled on foot to
Penna. Furnace, this county, in the vi-
i einity of which he ever after lived, cov-
l ering a period of about 65 years. He
was for many years engaged in the busi-
ness of ore mining and on account of
his skill and success as a miner and his
knowledge of the mining business and
his industry and integrity he was al-
ways placed at the head of the corps of
miners which gave him the name of
“Mine Boss.”
In 1832, he met and married Miss
Mary Wilson, who preceeded him home
to the “‘great beyond’ about four years
ago. To them were born 15 children,
10 of whom survive him, as follows :
Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Ray, of Le-
mont; Mrs. Pennington and Mrs.
Martz, of State College ; Henry T., of
Buffalo ; Mrs. Boyers, Mrs. Brotherton,
Daniel B., Joseph W., of Altoona ; and
George P., of Pittsburg.
He had, at the time of his death, 52
grand children and 27 great grand child-
ren. At the age of 21 he embraced re-
ligion and at ence allied himself to the
Methodist Episcopal church in which
he at once became a most earnest and
enthusiastic worker for Christ, and for
over 40 years held a license as a local
preacher and exorter, and so consistent
and holy life did he lead that when the
day of final reckoning will come, myr-
iads ‘‘will rise up and call him blessed."
G. W. R.
MRS. DELILA FOSTER.
Born in Beaver township, in what is
now known as Snyder county, Oct,
5th, 1830, Mrs. Delia Foster lived the
life of an upright Christian woman
until death claimed her, on Friday, Dec.
27th, after an illness of only ten days.
On the 17th ult., Mrs. Foster was strick-
en with grip, but had practically recov-
ered from its effects by Christmas day,
when the solicitous watchers at her bed-
side noticed a partial development of
paralysis that later affected her entire
right side and ended in her death.
Mrs. Foster's maiden name was
Smith, having been a sister of the senior
partner of the Philadelphia grocer firm
of Smith, Foster, & Co. She was married
to Robert M. Foster in Nov. 1849. He
was then a Union county, school mas-
ter. They lived at the homo of the
groom’s parents until 1855 when Mr.
Foster saw profit in lands adjoining the
property upon which the sité of the
Pennsylvania State College had been
located. Accordingly they moved to
this county and it was from their new
home that the husband enlisted as a
private in" the late war. He never re-
turned, having been killed in battle at
Gettysburg, in ’63. Left alone with a
family of small children Mrs. Foster
reared them as very few mothers have
been able to do under far more favorable
circumstances than were hers. After
the death of her husband she removed
to Union county, where she lived among
relatives until 1877, when she returned
to State College and remained there
until her death,
Of the six children in her family three
survive, Thomas and William, twins,
the former of Lewisburg ; the latter of
Philadelphia, and Robert M., of State
College. Funeral services were held
at her late home on Sunday afternoon,
Rev. Barr, of Princeton seminary, offici-
ating. Interment was made at the
branch where her body was laid‘ by the
side of her soldier husband?
Few women have lived to wield the
influence that was Mrs. Foster's in the
community in which she lived and few
have died leaving more profound sorrow
in the hearts of loved ones. Her life
was of that noble, self sacrificing kind
that endeared itself to everyone and her
encouragement and devotion to young
people made her death particularly sad
to the many in whom she always took a
kindly interest.

PHILIPSBURG'S GREAT LOSS.
| The town of Philipsburg might well
be sad since the death of editor Harry
Williams of the Ledger. We know of
no man who seemed to have been in

| place than the dead journclist and that
| he should have been stricken in the

honor to Philipsburg, an honor to his
and a vacancy which nothing can fill.
profession and, above all, a Christian
father. We have the sincerest sympa.
thy for those who mourn him, but they
should be comforted in the knowledge
that though his life was cut short it wag
i one well spent. -
Harry Clay Williams died Saturday,
| Dec. 21, at the home of his parents, Mr,
| and Mrs. James Williams, Philipsburg,
; with whom he lived since the death of
| bis wife. The direct cause of his death
| was pneumonia, superinduced by the
strain on his nervous system occasioned
| by having his hand crushed in a job
press, on Nov. 27th.
Deceased was born at Howard in
1851. His parents moved to Phil-
ipsburg when Harry was but
four years old. At the age of 11 years
he entered the drug store of Dr. Charles
Foster, where he remained until 1868,
when he entered the Bellefonte
Academy. Three years after he re-
turned to Philipsburg and purchased
the drug store of Dr. McGirk, and the
ensuing six years were spent therelffand
in his father’s drug store in Bellefonte.
About 1877 he entered the employment
of D. W. Holt, in Philipsburg, as book-
keeper, continuing in that capacity un-
til 1884, when he and C. B. Martin
purchased the Miner's Record office and
began the publication of the Ledger.
Since that time, although there were
several changes in the partnership, Mr.
Martin being succeeded by J. D. Doug-
lass and he in turn by Miss Anna V,
Williams, always remained editor-in-
chief of that paper.
In 1876 he married Annie M. Kep-
ler, who died in less than a year leaving
a daughter, who with parents, two
brothers and one sister survive. The
funeral was held on Tuesday, the 24th,
and was very largely attended. Inter-
ment was made in the cemetery at
Philipsburg.
A PROMINENT MAN DEAD.
The death of Major Jared B Fisher,
which occurred at his home, at Penn
Hall, Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock,
marked the end of a life remarkable in
many ways. Few residents of Centre
county have been better or more favor-
ably known than Major Fisher and his
death removes a man whose memory
this community will cherish. Though
he had been in poor health for some
time it was only within three weeks of
bis death that he became seriously ill.
Funeral services were held at his late
home on Tuesday.
Deceased was born in Berks county
in 1829. His ancestors were Palatines
from Germany who, oppressed by Ro-
| death.
terprising, the Major made valuable
mish intolerance, first removed to Hol-
land, thence to America, and, as early as
1714, located among the Mohawks in
the dense forest of Schoharie, near Al-
bany, N. Y. In that locality lies the
dust of five generations. Major Fisher
was the son of Adam Fisher, who
moved to Penn Hall, then called Cen-
treville, from Berks county, Pa., in
1842, where he opened a general store.
In 1846 Adam Fisher moved to Farm-
er’s Mills and engaged in the milling
business, his son, Jared remaining
in the firm.

when his store took fire and burned.

than a month he bad his business in
full operation again. In 1863 Major

the store building he occupied until his |

improvements at Penn Hall and was al-
ways the first to advance all important {
projects.
He was appointed postmaster of !
Buchanan's administrations until 1863,
when an office was established at Penn
Hall and he was appointed post-
master there, which office he held
until his death. The Major was a
charter member of the Farmers Mu-
tual insurance company of Centre
county. \ :
His military career dates back to 1846,
when he En himself with the
Murion infgatry, and up until the war
was prominent in military circies, being
at one time inspector of the Third Bri-
gade, 14th division. Owing to poor
health he did not serve during the re-
bellion, but rendered the country valu-
able service at home in recruiting and
equipping men for the service.
No one who had not the honor of Ma-
jor Fisher's friendship can realizs what
asterling man he was. Fearless, bus fair,

ceived to be bis duty to his Creator and

Spring street, suffered a physical col-
lapse that resulted in his death. Well
advanced in his 87th year he was so
prostrated by the shock he received, !
while attempting to walk around a train
wreck at Vail, when on his way to
Philipsburg on Thanksgiving day, that
he couid not rally strength again. His |
remains were brought home here the |
following Saturday and funeral services
were held on Monday, the Rev. Dr. |
Laurie having officiated, assisted by
Rev. R. L. Gearhart.
Hon. Samuel Townsend Shugert was
the oldest (natal) citizen of Bellefonte.
He was in hie 97th year, being born
on the 26th, of February, 1809, in the |
present Bellefonte Academy soon
alter its erection ; his father Jos. B.
Shugert was one of its earliest princi-
pals. When quite young Mr. Shugert
engaged in the publication of the old
Centre Demacrat and was its editor
and proprietor from 1834 to 1845.
About this time he was solicited by
Gen. Simon Cameron to remove to
Pittsburg and take charge of the
Pittsburg Post. Declining this he re-
ceived the appointment of chief clerk
in the U. S. patent office, acceptably
filling this responsible trust until the
administration ot president Buchanan
when he was advanced to the position
of commissioner, which office he re-
tained until after the inauguration of
President Liocoln. During his resi-
dence in Washington Mr. Shugert,
finding Centre county was without a
Democratic organ, sent to Bellefonte a
complete newspaper outfit and estab-
lished this paper which was later pur-
chased by its present editor. He re-
turned to Bellefonte (where his family
had always resided) in 1861. ;
He was elected State Senator in 1868
from this district, then composed of
Centre, Mifflin, Clearfieid, Juniata and
Perry, and was a member of the
House of Representatives in 1875 and
1876. In 1878 reluctantly yielding to
solicitations of his friends he -again
commenced the publication of a news-
paper, under the old title, which is the
present Centre Democrat. This he con-
tinued until about eight or ten years
ago, since which time, although en-
joying good health and spirits, for one
of his advanced age, he preferred the
rest and comforts afforded by retire-
ment from business cares.
Deceased was a member of Con-
stans Commandery No. 33 of the
Knights Templar. He was a life mem-
ber of a Blue Lodge and a chapter of
Royal Arch. Masons in the city of
Washington, D. C. He was the old-
est commander in this commandery
at time of his death.
He was twice married, his first wife
being Deborah M. Dunlop, a daughter
of John Dunlop and grand-daughter of
Col. Dunlop of the revolutionary
army. His second wife, who survives
him, is a daughter of the late Hon.
Ovid F. Johneon, a distinguished At-
torney-Geuneral of Pennsylvania. Be-
sides his wife he leaves two sons and
one daughter, viz: J. D., cashier of the
Centre county bank, Bellefonte; Fin-
ley, clerk in the patent office at Wash-
ington, and Mrs. W. E. Burchfield, of
Philipsburg.
The Hon. Samuel Shugert was a man
the impress of whose character will be
seen in Bellefonte institutions for cen-
turies to come. Strong in literary at-
tainments he was of that type of man-
hood, at once removed from the narrow
sphere of sordid bigotry, that proclaims
intelligence of a superior order. Sim-
brance of him cannot but be sacred.
