FAMILY REUNION.—A happy reunion of
the Melcher family, one of the pioneer
families of Centre county, was held on May
23rd, at Kenneywood Park, Fayette
county, in honor of the 76th birthday of
Christina Melcher, (nee McMonigal, ) relict
of John Melcher, who helped to break the
road through the tall pine forest of the Al-
legheny mountains, crossing by way of the
Philipsburg pike.
Mrs. Melcher is the mother of seven chil-
dren, all of whom are living, and six of
whom, with grand-children and great-
grand-children, were present. The chil-
dren present were : Mrs. Mary J. Merry-
man and Mrs. Leah Brown, of Wilkins-
burg, Pa.; Mrs. Lizzie Stephens and
Leonard, of Ramey, Pa., and Stephen H.
and Mrs. Rachel E. Woodring, of Bluefield,
W. Va., Henry, of Port Matilda, being the
only one who was unable to be present.
The family has a wide connection in
Pennsylvania and other States. About
sixty were present and took part in the
pleasantries of the occasion ; not the least
of which was a sumptuous dinner served in
one of the dining halls of the park. It was
at the close of this dinner that Mother
Melcher was treated to a genuine surprise,
in the presentation to her of a beautiful
gold ring, the gift of her children and
friends.
The gift was presented by Rev. J. L.
Leichliter, of Wilkinsburg. Remarks were
also made by P2vs. Speck, of Wilkinsburg,
and Shearer, of Greensburg, Pa. These
were responded to very beautifully by the
recipient of the gift, who expressed her ap-
preciation for the gift and for the fact that
her children all lived and loved her and,
best of all, loved Him who is the source of
all good. J. M. B.

ton had been a sufferer from paralysis for
several years but a second stroke ended a
life that was so highly esteemed for its many
virtues. She was born near Boalsburg, Jan.
30th, 1835, and was a daughter of the late
James Miller, one of the pioneer families.
She received an Academy education and was
one of Ferguson township’s efficient school
teachers and a life long member of the Pres-
byterian church. She is survived by two
sons, John Miller and Wm. R., and also by
one sister, Mrs. Nancy Dibler,and two broth-
ers, John of Plumbville, Indiana, and David
L., of this place. Rev. Aikensconducted the
services that laid for ever out of sight one
who had no enemies.
A Card of Thanks.
The friends of Elizabeth Essington wish to
express their thanks to the people of Miles-
burg and Pine Grove Mills for their kind
assistance during her illness, and upon the
occasion of her death.

The Unveiling of Union County’s Sol-
diers Monument.
COMRADES :(—Memorial day, with all its
tender memories of the heroic dead, has
passed; the Childrens Day services,which are
always beautiful, are also things of the past
for this year, and now I want to call the at-
tention of the old soldiers of ’61°65, the sol-
diers of the Spanish-American war, members
N. (. P. and all citizens of Centre county,
to the fact that there is to be a Soldiers and
Sailors Monument to be unveiled with ap-
propriate and interesting services, in the
very near county of Union, and at the coun-
ty seat of thesame (Lewishurg) on the fourth
day of July 1901. We want to make arrange-
ments for a special train to return us the
same evening, and would like to have as
many as possibly can go, to signify their
intention soon so we will know what to
depend upon in regard to getting it. Comrade
Amos Garbrick, of ‘Bellefonte, Sheriff Brun-
gart and others are looking the matter up,
and all Posts of the G. A. R. inthe county
should be awake to the matter, and work up
a sentiment in regard to it. ;
In the very near future (we hope) we will
have something of the kind in our own grand
old county and we will be calling on those
of other counties to attend and help us with
the services. Then let us help others on such
an important and interesting occasion.
In 1886 at what was called Grand Army
day, a great many of our citizens with their
wives and families went to the same place,
had a delightful day and received the
hospitality of the people of that grand old
town. Then let us this coming Fourth of July
turn out in large numbers, for we will re-
ceive a royal welcome, and spend a very
profitable day and discharge a patriotic duty.
A very liberal rate of fare is promised.
