——One day a week or so ago the family
of Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Bell, of east Howard
street, were gathered in the sitting room
when they heard a terrific crash of break-
ing glass at the rear of the house and har-
rying out into the kitohen were astounded
to see a horses head and the shafts ofa
vehicle sticking through the window. An
examination developed the fact that the
boy who attends Hard P. Harris’ horse had
hitohed the animal in the wagon and was
driving down the alley to Howard street.
Whether the horse stumbled or had a sud-
den attack of cramp is not known but
when opposite the Bell home he made a
sudden plunge and wheeling to the right
gave a jump and plunged his head and the
front of the shafts sguare through the
kitchen window, knocking out the sash
and breaking all the glass. Mr. Bell had
been sitting at the window not two min-
utes beforeand had just gone into the sit-
ting room when the accident occurred. No
person was burt and the only damage wae
the broken window.

even dreamed that in just one short week | | |
they would be called upon to pay the last
tribate that man can give to a departed
friend.
Not feeling well on Tuesday Mr. Hoy
oconsulted]hie pbysicicn who prescribed for
him and advised & few days rest. He re-
tired that evening but during the night
grew worse #0 that Wednesday morning he
was unable to get out of bed. That day
his illness was diagnosed as an attack of
pleurisy and he was treated accordingly.
The course of the disease could not be
stayed and by Thursday it bad developed
into pneumonia and so rapid was its pro-
gress thas the physician in attendance be-
came alarmed and other physicians were
called in consultation. The result was that
the most advanced treatment known to
medical science was resorted to and this
was evidence of the gravity of his condi-
tion. And juss when the doctors hoped
they woald be able to combat the disease
they were horrified to discover other seri-
ous complications and in only a few horrs
acute Brights disease developed and it was
then apparent to the practiced eye that
death was only a question of time.
Critically ill as be was he had spells of
consciousness even up until late Saturday
afternoon and it was not until 8.40 o'clock
Sunday moruing thas the last fisfal spark
of life fled, his spirit had gone to the God
who gave i? and only the inanimate body
was left as consolation to his brothers and
sisters and hoste of warm personal friends
who esteemed bim in life as few others
ever were or will be.
Edward Livingston Hoy was born in
Bellefonte Sept. 14th, 1876. He was the
fourth son of the late Judge Adam Hoy
avd Louisa Harris Hoy. His early life
was spent in acquiring an education and
trom Miss Petriken’s private sohool and
the Bellefonte Academy he was prepared
for college. He later entered the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania, but was unable to
complete his course owing to the need of
his presence at home. His first business en-
gagement was in she office of E. K.Rhoads,
coal dealer. Later he entered she hardware
store of James Harris & Co. and speedily
developed talents for the business that
carried him well to the front of the young
business men of the town. Together with
James Harrisand Jas. H. Potter he formed
the co-partnership of Harris, Potter & Hoy
for the handling of the output of the Belle-
toute glass works. This business ran until
the works went on a co-operative basis and
the moss ol its care devolved on the junior
member of the firm who was thos fitting
himself, unconsciously, for the rewarkable
position he held in this community for one
80 young. When James Harris decided to
retire from active husiness, Mr. Hoy hought
his interest in the firm which then became
the Potter—Hoy Hariware Co. That was
on Jan. 15¢,1900. The new firm organized a
wholesale department and grew until it he-
eame one of the largest mercantile establish-
ments in Central Pennsylvania. Any work
be had to do was a pleasure for him, bat
she desire for out-of door life and something
less confining thao his duties as secretary
and treasurer of the hardware firm turn-
ed his attention to the Ardell Lumber
Co., a plant that had heen left without a
head through the deaths of the lamented
John Ardell and Newlin Irwin. Init Mr.
Hoy saw a great field and ses about to re-
o:ganize and capitalize the business. The
greatest compliment that could bave been
paid his integrity and business acumen we
find in the ease with which he re-organized
a property that bad been on the verge of
bankruptey for years and interested capital
to the extent of $25,000 in what surface in-
dications appeared to be nothing more than
his personal ability to do things.
Accordingly in July, 1907, when he was
scarcely more than thirty years of age be
withdrew from she hardware business and
became the secretary, treasurer and gen-
eral manager of the Bellefonte Lumber Co.
What he did there is known best to the
veteran lumbermen and business men who
cast their lot with him, not one of whom
will ay that he was not more than ful
filling every hope they bad built up. Thus
it was in the very prime of what promised
a most useful and successful manbood, en-
joying the confidence and esteem of all who
bad had intercourse with him and witha
soul full of kindness and hope he was
struggling on to the goal of his dearest
ambitions, the place where he could be
more helplal to his family, his friends and
his loved home town.
He was a member of the Presbyterian
church, a Koight Templar and a Mason, a
Macoabee, and a member of the Bellefonte
and the Nittany Country clubs.
Surviving are bis sisters Nao, Mary and
Mrs. W. Fred Reynolds, all of Bellefonte,
and his brothers Albers C., of Providence
R. I; J. Harris Hoy, of Bellefonte, and
Randolph H., of Pittsburgh.
DrorPED DEAD IN TRAIN.—As pas-
senger train No. 54, east bound on the
Philadelphia and Erie railroad, was passing
the tower near the Normal school at Lock
Haven at 1:09 o'clock Saturday morning,
H. M. Shope, a passenger in the smoking
car, withous any warning fell from she seat
to the ficor of the car. He was picked up
by members of the train crew who were
shocked to find that the man was dead,
The body was taken off at the Look Haven
station and sent to the undertaking es-
tablishment of Mr. Waters, where an ex
amination of papers in the man’s pockets
revealed his identity and also that he was
originally from Howard, this county. Of
late he had been working in the oil house
at the Renovo shops and was probably on
his way home to visit relatives when over-
taken by death. In his pockets were also
found pamphlets on epilepsy and a bottle
containing a small quantity of medicine.
Death was likely due to the above disease.
E. F. Shope, of Howard, a brother of the
dead man, was notified and he went to
Lock Haven on Saturday morning and ac-
companied the remains to Milesburg, thas
afternoon, where burial was made. De-
ceased was a member of the Renovo camp,

“MoTHER" CAMPBELL AND ICE MOUN-
TAIN.—The editor of the WATCHMAN has
always imagined he bad a fair knowledge
of the topography of Centre county, es-
pecially any distriot wherein good trout
streams abound bus the ‘‘Mother’’ Camp-
bell and Ice mountain referred to in the
following story printed in the Altoona
Times on Wednesday morning is one too
many for us, and we are loathe to admit
that we do not know either:
Eighty-five years young and as sprightly
and activeas a person of hall her years,
“Mother'’ Campbeii, residing on Jo¢ moun-
tain, Centre county, is making one of her
periodical visits to this city, being a guest
of Landlord William E. Bell, of the Riche-
lieu hotel. .
“‘Mother’’ Campbell is remarkably well
preserved, and resides aloue in the wilds
of Ice mountain. She is in on of all
her faculties and is in excellent physical
condition. Her favorite diversion is trout
fishing al the brooks of Ice mouatain,
and this spring she has made a number of
nice oatohes. She whips streams that
would appall young men in the prime of
life, and apparently feels none the worse
for she vigorous exercise. She is an expert
fisherwoman, taking extreme delight in
‘showing up’ the swell disciples of Izaak
Walton who frequent the streams in the
vicinity of her mountain home.

in sacred remembrance the fallen heroes of
the late wars and join in honoring their
last resting place.
IN MEMORIAM.
As spring again returns to dress
The landscape in its loveliness ;
We come with floral wreaths to grace
The soldiers honored resting piace.
They sleep in peace beneath the sod,
Who war's rough path unwavering trod ;
Nor clashing steel nor cannon's roar,
Shall wake them from their slumber more
The garments rolled in blood, have passed ;
Hushed is the bugle's mustering blast,
The impetuous charge, the battle's tread,
No more disturb their tranquil bed.
On blood-stained fields, where carnage wide
Swept madly on, they dared and died ;
Nor shall their memory depart,
While deeds of valor thrill the heart.
But as the circling years roll round,
Upon this consecrated gro nd,
Sarviving friends with thoughtful tread
Shall pass beside each turf-ciad bed.
Fair hands and willing hearts will bring
The loveliest treasure of the spring,
And deck with wreaths and flowers gay
The hallowed turf that wraps their clay.
