rebuilt. He was one of the organizers of ding took place at the home of Mrs.
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance com. Jacob Bottorf, in Lemont, on Wednesday
pany of Centre county and for twenty
years was a director and president of the ‘
company. He was president of the Cen- |
tre Hall Water company for a period of |
twenty-six years and it was largely
through his efforts that the plant was re-
constructed and iron pipes substituted
for wooden ones. He served as a school
director in Centre Hall for a period of
twelve years and was not only a faithful
member of the Lutheran church all his
life but president ‘of the joint council for
twelve or more years. Since coming to
Bellefonte he has been teacher of the
men’s bible class in the Lutheran Sun-
day school.
In politics he was always staunchly
Democratic and in 1866 he was elected
to the Legislature over Gen. James A.
Beaver and re-elected in 1867 by one of
the largest majorities ever given any can-
didate in the county. His record as a
Legislator was such that he won hearty
endorsement from such men as Hon. H.
N. McAllister. He was opposed to all
legislation favoring railroad monopoly
and in later years he was one of the men
who strongly advocated the building of
the Lewisburg and Tyrone railroad. He
was the first president of the Centre
county Historical society and next to the
late John B. Linn probably could relate :
more of the early history of Centre coun-
ty than any other man. He was a good
conversationalist and an interesting com-
panion at all times.
He was married on January 26th, 1861,
to Miss Anne Harter, a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Harter, of near Aarons-
burg, who survives with two sons, Charles
R. Kurtz, editor publisher of the
Centre Democral, efonte, and John
Frederick Kurtz, editor and publisher of
The Journal, Lewisburg. Two other sons,
William L. died a number of years ago
and Walter was drowned when a youth.
His only other survivor is one sister,
Mrs. William Ettinger, of Milton. A
brother, Capt. J. George Kurtz, deceased,
was at one time editor of the Central
Press, a paper published in Bellefonte.
The funeral was held from his late res-
idence on High street at ten o'clock on
Wednesday morning. Rev. E. H. Yocum,
of the Methodist church, officiated and
burial was made in the Union cemetery.
Out of town friends who were present
at the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. J.
Frederick Kurtz, of Lewisburg; Mrs.
William Kurtz and sons Wilfred and
Jack, of Berlin; Aaron Harter, of Harris.

the evening by Rev. J. I. Stonecypher, of
Boalsburg, the ring service being used.
There were no attendants and the wed-
ding march was played by Harris Ole-
wine, of Bellefonte. Just twenty-six
guests, members of the two families,
were present to witness the happy event.
The bride is a graduate in music at
Bucknell University and subsequently
was an instructor there a year or two.
Recently she has been an instructor at
State College. The bridegroom is a
member of the State College faculty and

the class of 1903. He now has full charge

Pennsylvania railroad last Friday even- |
ing. Fish was a freight brakeman and it
is supposed that he was leaning out to
inspect or possibly make an effort to
loosen a brakeshoe that was jammed
against a car wheel, was struck by a
fence and thrown under the wheels, his
head being so badly mangled that death
was instantaneous.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
John Fish and was born in Philipsburg
twenty-seven “ears ago. He had been
employed on the railroad a number of
years and was always a careful, con-
scientious employee. He was a member
of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen
and the Pennsylvania Railroad Relief
Association. Surviving him are his wife
and the following brothers and sisters:
William, of Powell; Edward, of Philips-
burg; Ralph, of Denver, Col.; Mrs. John
Shontz and Miss Mabel Fish, of Philips-
burg. The funeral was held from his
late home in Juniata at ten o'clock on
Monday morning, burial being made in
the Rose Hill cemetery.
DYNAMITING FisH.—It is alleged on
good authority that somebody has been
dynamiting fish in Penns creek below
Millheim. The dynamited fish were seen
floating down stream by several parties
but the offender was not caught, although
it is alleged that there is a strong suspi-
cion throughout the community as to his
identity. The WATCHMAN has nothing
against the individual personally, not | of
even having any knowledge of who he is,
but the practice of dynamiting for fish
has been carried on to such an extent in
this county that law-abiding citizens
should have no hesitation in informing
on any man caught in the act. Centre
county streams have few enough fish in
them to afford even ordinary sport for
the legitimate angler without having
them depopulated by the unlawful use of
dynamite. Very early in the spring the
explosive was used to catch trout in
Fishing creek, and it was also claimed it
was used in Spring creek, now it seems
to have broken out in the lower end of
Pennsvalley. A good fish warden in that
locality might put an end to the dyna-
miting business.
