DEATH OF Mes. MARY GRAHAM
Burrs.—Perhaps no death in Bellefonte in
years caused such universal regret as has
that of Mrs. Mary Graham Batts, which
occurred at her home on north Allegheny
street, at an early hour Monday morning,
after an illness since March 31st with par-
alysis. If there was one woman in Belle-
fonte so wholly and entirely loved for her-
self alone, endeared to all who were hon-
orel hy knowing her through her admira.
ble qualities, her extreme unselfishness,
kindness of heart and thoughtfulness for
others, whether rich or poor, bigh or low,
it was the sibject of this eketoh. For al.
most a balf century she was a resident of
Bellefonte and at ove time or other had
been brought into contact with most every
man, woman or child in the town, and not
one there is today but feels a deep personal
loss in ber death and speaks only the kind-
est of words for her life just ended.
Though she was past the allotted three
score and ten in years, up until she was
stricken with paralysis, Mrs. Butts had en-
joyed comparatively good health and in her
apparently strong matare womanhood not
even her closest friends anticipated her ear-
ly demise. In fact, in such noble, chris-
tian characters there is always a feeling in
the hearts of all that the grim reaper might
pass them by, spare them for the good they
always do, but, alas! the pity of it is,
‘‘they cannot live always.”
Deceased was a daughter of Walter Gra-
bam, who came to this country from Ire-
land, and Navcy O'Brien Graham. She
was born at Waterstreet, Huntingdon
county, December 15th, 1833, thus making
her age 72 years, 3 mouths and 24 days.
While she was quite young her parents
moved to Milroy, Ler father embarking in
the stage coach business over the old State
road between Philadelphia and Pittsburg.
He prospered, became quite prominent all
over the State and was more familiarly
known as “Watty" Graham. He also en-
gaged in the hotel business at Milroy, Lew-
istown and one or two other places along
the State road.
On September 28th, 1858, Miss Mary
Graham was united in marriage to Jeremi-
ah Butts, the young couple coming to
Bellefonte immediately thereafter and tak-
ing possession of the old Conrad house
where Temple Court now etands, as land-
jord and hostess. They were at the Con-
rad house but a couple years when the
New Brockerhoff house was completed
when Mr. Butts went there as its first
| landlord and opened the house. He did
not remain there very long, however, but
bought the hotel on the corner of Alleghe-
ny and Bishop streets and engaged in the
business there, christening it the Butts
house. He continued the proprietor there
until bis death thirty-one years ago. After
his death, Mrs. Batts, left with a family
of young children to suppors, left the ho-
tel and opened up a boarding house in the
Huwes building on Allegheny street. It
Is needless to dwell on this period in her
life. All who know the Batts family
know how sacredly and well the mother
fulfilled the trust imposed upon her.
Since coming to Bellefonte in 1858 asa
bride all her life was lived here with the
exception of a couple years spent at Le.
mont.
When her husband died she was left
with a family of six children, all of whom
survive, as follows: Mrs. William F.
Reber, Philadelphia; Herbert, of Rose-
mont ; Mrs. Robert F. Hunter, of this
place, and Mises Mary and Henrietta at
home. Sle was the last surviving mem-
ber of a family of five children, ber two
brothers and two sisters having preceded
her to the grave.
Since early girlhood shie was a consistent
member of the Preshyterian church and
Rev. Dr. Laurie conducted the faneral
services, which were held at her late home
at 11 o'clock yesterday morning. The in-
terment in the Union cemetery was pri-
vate, the following gentlemen acting as
pall-bearers : Messrs, Frank C. Montgom-
ery, J. H. Lingle, David F. Fortney, Jo-
seph L. Montgomery, Thomas H. Harter,
L. A. Schaeffer, J. C. Meyer and Dr. J. L.
Seibert.

Centre Hall and stopped off in Bellefonte
8 couple hours to visit his sister, Mrs.
William Haines. He left on the afternoon
train for Elkins, W. Va., where he expeot-
ed to get a job as sawyer on a sawmill at
that place. Early Wednesday morning
his lifeless body, with the head entirely
severed, was found at Alfarata park, near
Huntingdon, and the supposition is that
the man was walking on the railroad track,
was knocked down and run over by a loco-
motive. Several papers he had on his
person disclosed his identity and his friends
at Centre Hall were communicated with at
once. Wednesday noon Joseph Lutz, of
Centre Hall, and William Haines, of this
place, left for Huntingdon and on their
arrival there at once identified the remains
as those of Sanders. The body was pre-
pared for burial by & Huntingdon uuder-
taker and Thursday was taken to his late
home in Centre Hall from where the faver-
al was keld on Friday.

age. He was a sawyer by occupation and
bad worked on various mills in Centre and

To BE INSTALLED MAY STH.—At a
meeting of the Huntingdon Presbytery
beld in Bellwood on Tuesday and Wednes-
day of this week a call for the pastoral ser-
vices of the Rev. J. Allison Platts, pastor
of the Central Presbyterian church, Alle-
gheny, from the church of Bellefonte,

num in regular monthly payments with

cation, was read and found in order. After

tery voted to hold an adjourned meeting

WHAT Dogs IT MEAN? —Residents along
Bald Eagle valley are busy these days
wonderiog what a large corps of engineers
are 80 husy running lines eastward jthrough
the valley for. They are in charge of a
veteran civil engineer who has never a
word to say about what they are doing or
who it is being done for. But the work is
going on nevertheless and all manner of
speculation is rife. Some think it isa
plan to double track and secure a new grade
for the Bald Eagle valley, others say it is
part of a Wabash plan, a few have connect-
ed it with the sobeme for Philadelphia and
Western that was spoken of so much in
she Philadelphia papers a few days ago.
Whatever it may be for the engineers
are working on an old survey made many
years ago. They started in about the old
Baird tannery in Milesbarg and are ron-
ning east along the old tow path to
the vicinity of Cartina Works where
they have crossed over to the north side of
the valley and are working oo towards
Look Haven.

——0On Wednesday Harry Keller, while
at work in his office in Temple Court,
smelled the smoke of burning wood and
an investigation revealed the fact that
quite a fire was already burning in the
bottom of the elevator shalt. Fortunately
the flames were discovered in time to ex-
tingnish them before any great damage
was done or they had had time to gain any
great headway, otherwise there might
have been a disastrous conflagration.

——On Wednesday Mr. W. L. Daggett
left Bellefonte with Mrs. Daggets for Phil-
adelphia in the hope that the change of
climatic conditions and scenes may be ben-
eficial to Mrs. Daggett's health, which has

leads them on they may visit other places
after a stay in the Quaker City. Miss Jen-
nie Morgan accompanied them.
