DANIEL GARMAN. — Hasiog rounded ous more than four score and seven years of life the venerable Daniel Garman died at bis bome on High street at 7:40 o'clock Saturday evening. His death was due to no particular disease but merely the gradual “| breaking down of the system, the wearing ' out of the machinery of the buman hody | which bad borne the strain of so many years of active life. He bad been confined to his bed only one week and when the end came it was peacefully asa child falling asleep. Deceased was a son of George and Rebecca Garman and was born pear Harrisharg, Dauphin county, Febraary 12th,1820, thus makiog bis age 87 years, 5 months and 8 days. When about twenty-three years of age be left home determined to make bis own way in this world and going to Jersey Shore he learned the jeweler’s trade with his brother. He remained with the latter three years then engaged in the livery busi- ness on a small scale. In 1856 he went to Lock Haven, started a jewelry store and engaged in the livery business at the same time, devoting considerable attention to the buying and selling of horses. In both businesses hie prospered and in 1860 he sold out and cawe to Bellefonte. About that time the Bald Eagle Valley railroad was opened from Lock Haven to Tyrone and Mr. Garman was appointed agent for the Adams Express company, the first agent the company ever bad in this place, a fact that was always a matter of considerable pride and satisfaction to him. At that time the business of the express company was not as large as it is now and all of Mr. Garman’s spare time was devoted to buy- ing horses until he got enough to start the largest and best livery stable in Belle- fonte. In 1861 he bought the Franklin house after remodeliog and building it larger the same year rechristened it the Garman house. In 1887 part of the hotel was de- stroyed by fire and it was promptly rebuilt a3 well as the opera house adjoining. Mr. Garman conducted the hotel personally until about the year 1°90 when he leased it to hisson Al S., who ran it a number of years. Upon his retirement to go to Tyrone the house passed into the hands of C. M. and C. B. Garman. Since his retire. ment from active life Mr. Garman bas lived retired in his home on the corner of High and Spring streets, though every day be spent some time at the hotel. Through bis thrift and industry he acquired a large amount of property in addition to his hotel. In polities Mr. Garman was a Damocrat and in his early life took quite an active partin the workings of his party, having served as both a member of the town conn- cil aud of the schoo! board. He was a member of the Bellefonte Chapter, No. 268, Free and Accepted Masons for over filty- two years. In his religious faith he was an Episcopalian and always a good sup- porter of his chosen church. Mr. Garman was married in 1857 to Miss Louisa Schroyer, of Milton. She died in 1856 but surviving him are the following children : Al 8., of Tyrone; Ira D., of Philadelphia; Edward, of Bellefonte; C. M., of Atlautic City; Mrs. I:aac Maitland, of Williamsport; Robert, of Tyrone; Mrs. Charles Cruse and William H., of Belle- fonte.

Last winter he was taken to the hospital for treatment and im- proved to that extent that he was bronght home hut growing worse he was again taken to the hospital some three months ago. He bad improved so much that in the early part of last week a letter from the hospital authorities to his parents stated that he would be able to be brought home in two or three weeks. This was the last news they bad until after four o'clock last Sat- urday when a telegram was received stat- ing the boy was dying. Mr. Woodring left on the 4:44 traic bat the child was dead when he got there. The canse of death was tuberonlosis of the bowels which only manifested itzelf on Friday and the hos- pital physicians hoped to combat the dis- ease until Saturday afternoon when the fatality of the attack became apparent. The remains were brought to Bellefonte Sunday evening by the father and taken to the bereaved home on Howard street. Deceased was seven years old last March and in addition to his parents is survived by one brother, Robert. The funeral was held at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning. Rev.

Montgomery died at his bome on Alle- gheuy street at 10.30 o'clock on Sunday morniog. Mr. Montgomery bas been in failing health fora year or more and of late it was manifest to his friends thas bis days | were practically numbered. On Monday of last week he bad a sinking spell from which he never fully rallied but gradually grew weaker until the end came on Suop- day morning. Wendell Whiteman Moontgowery was born in Columbia, Lancaster connty, Au- gust 25th, 1832, thas being 74 years, 10 months and 26 days old. He was a son of John and Catharine Montgomery and when he was but five years of age bis parents moved to this place and here be lived ever after. He was educated at the old Belle- foute Academy and upon leaving school went into partnership with his father in the tailoring and gents furnishing business, later continuing for a number of years in the same business with bis brother, C. F. Montgomery. He enlisted for service at the breaking out of the Civil war aud serv- ed for three months. In 1863 be was ap. pointed a clerk in the quartermasters’ de- partment at Washington where he served until 1865. This appointment was wade upon the recommendation of the late Judge Hale and upon the latter's request he was appointed postmaster of Bellefonte in 1865, serving one term, or four years. From 1869 to 1809 be was a partner with his brothers in the clothing and merchant tailoring bosiness. In 1899 he was ap- pointed postmaster of Bellefonte and reap- pointed in 1903, serving until the expira- tion of bis second term on February 12th, 1907, when he was succeeded by Thomas H. Harter. He was a member of St. John’s Episco- pal church and for almost fifty years was secretary of the board of vestrymen. He was a Republican in politics and true to the principals of his party. He was a member of the original Bellefonte baud and his death leaves F. Potts Green the only survivor of that once famous mu. sical organization. At all times and to all people Mr. Mont- gowmery was a gentleman ; one of those rare specimens of old fashioned maoners and courtliness that all revere so much yet so few emulate. His life was a blessing to his family and a pleasnre to his friends; because if be was ove thing more than another he was true and constant in his relations with those who had been more than mere acquaintances. Both as a citizen and a public official we could hope for none better for he fulfilled, 80 {ar as he was able, all the ideals of the best in both spheres of life. His passing has taken from Bellefonte ove of the nota- bles of her older men and the town views his going with genuine regret. In early life he was married to Mary Catharine Lingle, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Lingle, who survives with the following children : Mrs. C. J. McHugh, of Pittsbarg ; Mrs. John C. Bair, Joseph L, Fred and Miss Emma, of! Bellefonte, He also leaves two brothers, Henry and C. Frank, of this place.
