William Thompson Speer was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. William Speer and was born
in Lurgan township, Fraaklin county, De-
cember 8th, 1836, hence was 74 years and
! 3 days old. After he grew to manhood
he entered the employ of the Cumberland
Valley railroad in their car shops at
Chambersburg where he was advanced to
the position of foreman, which he held a
number of years. In 1873 he came to
Bellefonte with Jack McClellan, also of
Chambersburg, to superintend the erec-
tion of the Bellefonte car works, upon the
completion of which Mr. McClellan was
made general superintendent, William
Curtin secretary and treasurer and Mr.
Speer superintendent of the working de-
partment. When the original company
dissolved Mr. McClellan and Mr. Speer
leased the plant and operated it sev-
eral years. When they finally closed
down the latter became superintendent of
the Phoenix planing mill under John
Ardell and later filled a similar position
under P. B. Crider & Son. In the early
nineties he resigned his position and lived
{a retired life until elected treasurer of
Centre county in 1899. Since the expira-
tion of his term he lived a private life.
Mr. Speer was twice married, his first
wife being Miss Celinda Frantz, of
Shippensburg, who died in 1873. By this
union he had five children, all of whom
survive as follows: W. Francis, of this
place; Edward, cashier of the First
National bank, Hoxie, Kan.; Mrs. Harris
Mann, Lewistown; William, an adjuster
in Horne & Co's store, Pittsburg, and
Irvin, an electrician in St. Louis, Mo. In
1877 he married Miss Kate Larimer, a
daughter of James Larimer, of Pleasant
Gap, who survives. He also leaves three
brothers and one sister, namely: James
H.. of Abilene, Kan.; Hon. David Speer
of Chambersburg; Mark, of Portland,
Oregon, and Mrs. Martha Ramp, living
near Shippensburg.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on Tuesday afternoon and taken to
his home on west High street where they
reposed until Wednesday afternoon when
the funeral was held from the Presby-
terian church at two o'clock. He was a
member of Constans Commandery
Knights Templar of this place, the mem-
bers of which had charge of the funeral,
Rev. John Hewitt, the chaplain officiating.
Burial was made in the Union cemetery.
Mr. Speer was a man who had the
friendship and esteem of every man who
knew him. He was upright and honest
in all his dealings with his fellowmen and
at all times followed the teachings of the
Divine Master. He had an open and
sunshiny character and saw beauty in
every phase of nature and God's handiwork
and “lived for the very joy of living.” He
was quite poetical by nature and the fol-
lowing bit of verse so appropriate and ap-
plicable to his own ripening age was
written by him a few years ago and
published in this paper:
THE AUTUMN LEAVES THEY SPEAK TO ME.
The Autumn leaves they speak to me
As I walk beneath the trees :
They whisper in such sclemn tones,
They make life sad to me.
1 think of youth beneath their shade,
Of the years that have passed me by :
How oft have I seen their colors change
And heard their moan and sigh.
Oh, Autumn frosts, oh, cruel frosts.
Your work is plainly seen ;
How can you strike your deadly fangs
In leaves so biight and green ?
Oh, Autumn winds, you shake and shake
Those leaves from their home on high :
How gently you drop them one by one
On the cold earth to die.
Oh, sad thought, why speak to me
Of that world to me unseen ?
For I am told their living waters flow
Through fields of living green.
1 know the cruel frost of time
Has marked me for his prey :
But why should I feel sad today
For that world [ would love to see.

HARRISON.—The announcement of the
|
death of John F. Harrison, at his home
in Jersey Shore, at four o'clock on Tues-
day afternoon, was not a surprise to his
old friends here, as he was known to be
in a critical condition with stomach trou-
ble for weeks past. His illness dates
back a number of years and for the past
two years he was unable to follow his oc-
cupation of a teacher.
Deceased was born at Pleasant Gap
and was about fifty-two years of age. He
followed teaching practically all his life
and for a number of years was a member
of the High school faculty in this place:

died at her home near Curtin last Satur-

was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John

Johnston in 1863 and most of her life |
since was spent near Curtin. Surviving

that the confidence and faith placed in
him at that time were fully justified. In
1864 the institution was merged into the
First National bank and Mr. Harris was
continued as cashier until he resigned
some fifteen years ago to become cashier
of the Jackson, Crider and Hastings bank
which was later merged into the Belle-
fonte Trust company, of which he was
made treasurer, a position he still fills.
He has always taken an active in-
terest in every movement for the good of
the town. For thirty-nine consecutive
years he was a member of the school
board from the North ward, thirty-seven

the board. He is a member of the Pres-

CLEAN YOUR PAVEMENTS.—At the last
meeting of council president Harper call-
ed the attention of that august body of
lawmakers to the fact that there is an
ordinance requiring property owners to
clean the snow off their pavements within
twenty-four hours, and the Street com-
mittee was instructed to see that the same

but we do know that there is not one
hundred feet of clean pavement in the
business part of the town. The first snow
fell about ten days ago and ever since
many of the pavements have been cover-
ed with tramped down snow and ice and
now are a positive menace to life and

maintain that the snow is tramped so hard

a measure is true, but it ought to have
been cleaned off before it was tramped so
business part of the town the pavements
are fairly clean, because the residents
shovel the show off before it is tramped
down, and thisis what every resident and
business man should do. The pavements
are now in such aconditior: that the mat-
ter will likely be brought before council
next Monday evening and more drastic
measures resorted to to enforce the ordi-
nance requiring them to be cleaned off
within twenty-four hours.

Court CuLLINGS.—Though court has
been in session all week the cases dis-
posed of have been few in number. The
first case tried was that of the Penn
Chemical company vs. Mary E. and Nan-
cy J. Ammerman, an action in trespass to
recover damages. A verdict in favor of
the plaintiff was returned in the sum of
$447.50.
The second case was that of Pearl C
Gray vs. Leonard Miller, a feigned issue
to try the title to the horse “Lamptrim-
mer.” The plaintiff is a daughter of Ir-
vin G. Gray, of Stormstown, while the de-
fendant lives in Altoona. When Mr.
Gray went into bankruptcy last summer
his property was levied upon by thc sher-
iff and Mr. Miller attempted to get pos-
session of the horse which was claimed
by Miss Gray. The jury returned a ver-
dict in favor of the plaintiff.
The case of the Brunswick—Balke Cal-
