engagements from Chancellorsville to
Appomattox Court House. He was
wounded at Poe River in May, 1864,
and was off duty four months, but re-
joined his command upon his recovery.
He was mustered out of service on June
9th, 1865.
Upon his return from the war Mr.
Stuart engaged in farming, an occupa-
tion he followed for ten years when he
moved to State College and took charge
of a hotel. Since then he has been a
merchant, dealer in coal and grain and
for sixteen years was postmaster at
State College. During the past two years
he has lived a retired life. He was a
most enthusiastic G. A. R. man, being a
member of Capt. Foster Post, No. 197. of
Lemont, and also of the Union Veteran
Legion, of Bellefonte. He was a mem-
ber of the Presbyterian church and al-
ways a faithful workerin the same.
On December 23rd, 1869, he was unit-
ed in marriage to Miss Margaret Ellen
Musser, of Boalsburg. She survives and
unfortunately was away from home at
the time of Mr. Stuart's death, being out
at Tulsa, Oklahoma, visiting her son.
Of their five children, three survive,
namely: Elizabeth Y., n.>rried to H. B.

at Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Margaret J.

BECK. —Wiiliam Beck, for many years
a resident of Ferguson township, died at
his home near Canton, Ohio, on Wed-

in good health and went out to feed the
stock. Not returning to the house at the
time expected some of the family went
out to see what was wrong and found
him lying unconscious in an outbuilding.
He had been stricken with paralysis and
died the same day.
Deceased was born in Union county
and would have been sixty-three years
old on Sunday. When a young man he
came to Centre county and learned the
trade of a blacksmith, an occupation he
followed for many years at various places
