Father Time continues as relentless as ever in turning the hands of time onward and the days and weeks, months and years pass away with startling rapidity, and friends who seem but the boys of yesterday are now the “sires of silvered locks and halting}{footsteps.” But their hearts are still in the right place and pulsing with warm blood of friendship even though thousands of miles inter- vene, a fact brought home to us by the following letter received from Samuel W. Baker, of Des Moines, Iowa, who fills the very responsible position of secre- tary-treasurer of the Masonic Veterans association of Iowa. We congratulate him on having attained his sixty-sixth year in such good health and spirits, and assure him that we deeply regret that the WATCHMAN'’S labor of years has had so little effect as to make no impression upon his Republicanism, but we will con- tinue to shoot our “rockrooted blasts” because we feel that our efforts are ap- preciated even if they fail to make the proper impression: DEs MOINES, Iowa, Nov. 1st, 1915. P. GRAY MEEK, Esq., Bellefonte, Pa. Dear Sir and Friend: The most prominent idea presented to me today is November first. Tomorrow, and the next day, will be the second and third, but convey to me no other signifi- cance than that of any other day of any month. All day yesterday, (Sunday) there was ever present in my mind, “to- morrow is November first. The first thought in my mind when I awoke this morning, “this is November first.” The calendars in the office, and the first writing done there, on a blank contract, “November first,” and when the mail came in, the first piece I picked up was the WATCHMAN with “November 1, 1915” staring at me. Sixty-six years ago to- day, down at Beech Creek, there was probably some thinking and staring done, when on that day the first grand- child of both sides of the family, per- haps tried to open a pair of eyes and stare in wonder at what was going on. And the years have been coming and going right along, and with surprising regularity, swifter and swifter, so that it hardly seems a year since I accused you of placing my expiration on my birth- day, as a more conspicucus reminder to renew. Assuming that my renewal to the WATCHMAN is desired, and that its weekly call on me is also welcome, and also that the regulations of Uncle Sam be properly regarded, the enclosed P. O. order is to authorize you to extend the time on that tag to another November first, viz.,, immediately succeeding that last date. ) I wanted to get back to old Centre dur- ing the “Home Coming” week but it came at the wrong time to suit my con- venience, but if there are not too many November firsts to intervene, I shall seri- ously consider being on hand for the next one. Iam well wedded to this burg and no desire to be away from it very often or long at a time; and who would? Over 100,000 population and no saloons; prosperous, and in almost every particu- lar a clean town. After January 1st, 1916, the grogshop will be an evil of the past in Iowa, and never to return. Wonder if old Penn will ever come out of it. Still expecting your rockrooted Demo- cratic blast to fan me once a week for another year, without making any im- pression on my Republicanism, I re- main, Very truly yours, SAMUEL W. BAKER. The Women are Thankful. To The Democratic Watchman: We very sincerely thank the DEMoO- CRATIC WATCHMAN for its support of the Woman’s Suffrage cause. It also gives us pleasure to thank those for, and those against, for the consider- ate treatment they have given us. We feel confident we can win Centre county in the Jnext five years. Woman's Suf- frage in Pennsylvania has not been de- feated, only delayed. Very truly yours, ELIZABETH B. BEACH, Chairman Centre county. ADDITIONAL LOCAL NEWS. WORK OF ASSOCIATED CHARITIES—The Associated Charities committee of Belle- fonte, of which Mrs. W. D. Zerby is presi- dent and Mrs. R. S. Brouse, secretary, has submitted its report for the year: The committee was formed in Novem- ber, 1914, and during the winter relief, in the shape of fuel, food and clothing, was afforded to seventy-five families. In these thirty-three men were out of work. In twelve homes the wage earner was ill. Four were aged and unable to work, one was insane and two families were home- less. Five families were listed as shiftless and incompetent and fifteen were sup- ported by widows with children. Work was secured by the day for several appli- cants and in a few cases permanent jobs were secured for the men. In spite of the fact that the original in- tention of the committee was to act only as an organizing centre, money was con- tributed to and disbursed by it to the amount of $140.66. —— Af) ee r—— ——Theladies of the Needlework Guild are requested to send their contributions to the directors before November 13th. i SCHAEFFER—Following a general break- ‘down in health as the result of a cold | contracted while attending the Hazel- ' Schaeffer reunion at Madisonburg early “in August ex-Sheriff Benjamin F. Schaef- fer died at his home at Nittany at six | O'clock on Tuesday morning, just six! | years to the day after the death of his | wife. Mr. Schaeffer had enjoyed fairly | good health all summer until he attended ‘ the Hazel-Schaeffer reunion. Following | that he was confined to his room a few ! days but on August 31st was able to £0 ‘down stairs to attend a gathering of a ' number of his friends who gave him a surprise party in commemoration of his eighty-fifth birthday anniversary. Since that time he has not been at all well and was confined to his room most of the ' time, gradually growing weaker and { weaker until he calmly passed away at - the time above mentioned. | Sheriff Schaeffer was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Schaeffer and was born at had attained the advanced age of 85 years, 2 months and 10 days. When but six months old his parents moved to Walker township and located on the farm which has been in the family ever since. It was there the subject of this notice grew to manhood, received his | education in the public schools and had principles of manhood and honesty that i have been among his prominent traits of : character all his life. After his father’s death Mr. Schaeffer took charge of the farm and conducted it very successfully, finally becoming the owner and as years passed purchasing another farm. In 1872 he was elected sheriff of Centre county and served his county in that office with the utmost fidelity. In fact his term in office is fre- quently recalled by men of that time as a model worthy of others to pattern after. When he retired from the sheriff's office Mr. Schaeffer took up his residence at Nittany and opened a general mercan- tile store. This he conducted for many years and also kept the postoffice. When advancing years compelled him to dis- pose of his store he retained the post- mastership and the office is now looked after by his daughter, Mrs. Allison. Mr. Schaeffer was one of the organ- izers of the Hazel-Schaffer reunion as- sociation and was its president for nine years. He was also one of the men prominent in organizing the Ex-Sheriff’s association on Washington’s birthday, 1911, and never missed a reunion held since. He was a member of the Luther- an church at Snydertown since early manhood, and an officer in the church for more than sixty years. Politically he was a Democrat of the Jeffersonian and Andrew Jackson type— staunch to his party and true to his friends. His term as sheriff was the only time he sought a county office but he filled various township offices, and in every one discharged his duties faithfully and well. As a husband, father, neighbor and citizen Mr. Schaeffer was all that could be desired. Kind and affectionate in disposition with a heart full of sympathy for his fellowmen, he was ever thought- ful of others and many there are who can testify to his generosity. He was a man who loved the companionship of his fellowmen and was always prone to con- done their faults and enlarge upon their good qualities. His appreciation of any mark of es- teem toward him by his fellowmen was exemplified on August 31st when his friends gathered at his home and pre- sented him with a comfortable leather chair as a birthday remembrance. He was so overcome by this little act of neighborly kindness that the tears stream- ed down his cheeks and he slipped away and wrote out a speech of thanks which he requested his daughter to read for him. He could not trust himself to speak his thanks. He lived to a ripe old age, and every man who knew him re- grets that he could not have lived longer and in his genial, delightful way continue to scatter the sunshiny beams of kind- ness along life’s rugged pathway. On January 18th, 1852, Mr. Schaeffer was united in marriage with Miss Sophia C. Barger, of Nittany valley, and for fifty- seven years they traveled life’s pathway together. Mrs. Schaeffer died on No- vember 9th, 1909, but during the last twenty-five years of her life she was an invalid as the result of a stroke of paral- ysis, and the kind heart of Mr. Schaeffer was never so strongly exemplified as in the loving care he took of his wife dur- ing her long years of invalidism. Since his wife’s death his daughter, Mrs. Alli- son, has had charge of his home. * The surviving children are Lewis A. Schaeffer, of Bellefonte; William E., of Mifflinburg; Margaret, wife of W. T. Allison, widow of H. K. Allison, and Ma- bel, wife of Lincoln E. Swartz, of Hub- lersburg. He also leaves fourteen grand- children and nine great grand-children.
