Held Annual Reunion.
Over Fifty Old Soldiers of the Civil
War Attended the Gathering
Here on Wednesday.
The gallant survivors of the Forty-
fifth regiment held their annual re-
union in this place on Wednesday, and
to the average reader this will prob-
ably mean just another gathering of
old soldiers. But it was more than
that. It demonstrated to the public
at large the patriotism displayed by
these men half a century ago when
they shouldered arms and went forth
to fight for the preservation of the
Union, and it was the same patriotism
that induced so many of them to at-
tend their annual reunion.
To the average mind the Forty-
fifth regiment simply means a unit of
soldiers who fought during the Civil
war, but it was a unit that helped
make history. During the great strug-
gle the regiment participated in the
following important battles: South
Mountain, Antietam, Fredericksburg,
the siege of Knoxville and the capture
of Vicksburg, James Island, Jackson,
Blue Springs, Campbell Station, Cold
Harbor, Reams Station, the Battle of
the Wilderness, Spottsylvania, North
Anna, the Weldon Railroad and
Petersburg. Of the original regiment
of one thousand men who went to the
tertained at their home on Howard | front 825 of them never returned,

their cousins, the Misses Jean and Evelyn ' of wounds or disease.

row will be with Westminster at State

——Long evenings and cooler nights
are coming on apace and an ideal place
to spend at least a portion of your time
is at the Scenlc. It is the one place in

good motion pictures the Scenic is the
place to go and see them. Big programs
each and every evening during the week
except Sunday.

Of the 242
Pennsylvania regiments which served
during the war the Forty-fifth ranked
eighteenth in the number of battles in
which it fought, loss of life, daring,
ete. It’s various recruits to keep the
ranks filled totalled close to nineteen
hundred men. Gen. James A. Reaver
was personally responsible for raising
the regiment and he was its first Lieu-
tenant Colonel. It was afterwards
commanded by Col. Theodore Gregg
and Col. John I. Curtin, who later was
brevetted a brigadier general, and
both of whom were Centre countians.
So it is no wonder that a member of
the Forty-fifth is rather proud of hav-
ing belonged to that organization.
To be exact just forty-nine of the
members registered at the reunion on
Wednesday, while there were a few
here from other commands which
brought the total attendance up to
about sixty. The business meeting in
the morning was held in the hall of
Gregz Post No. 95. G. A. R. .The
president of the association, James A.
Meyers, of Columbia, presided and
the divine blessing was invoked on the
gathering by Rev. W. E. McKinney.
Burgess Edmund Blanchard made the
address of welcome which was re-
sponded to by the president.
(All the old officers were re-elected
as follows: President, James A.
Meyers, of Columbia; vice president,
William. H. Fry, of Pine Grove Mills:
secretary, Theodore J. Davies, of
Wellsboro; treasurer, W. ‘A. Roberts,
of Washington. The selection of the
place of next meeting was left to the
executive committee, with the chances
in favor of either Colambia or Lan-
caster. Brief addresses were made by
Judge R. J. Richards, ¢f Ohio; J. H.
Musser, of Harrisburg, and Thomas
Ames, of the Thirty-sixth Massa-
chusetts regiment, who was elected
an honorary member.
At 1.30 o’clock the old soldiers posed
in front of the soldiers monument and
the statue of Governor Curtin and had
their picture taken by Mallory, the
photographer. They then embarked
in twenty automobiles, very generous-
ly contributed by the people of Belle-
fonte and surrounding country and
taken on a trip to State College and
the western penitentiary. Capt.
Robert F. Hunter and Harry C. Val-
entine were in charge of this part of
the entertainment of the old soldiers
and so well had they done their work
that there were ample accommoda-
tions for all and not a hitch in the big
parade. !
At State Cclleze a brief meeting
was held at which Burgess J. L.
Holmes welcomed the visitors. Judge
R. J. Richards made the response.
The soldiers were then motored
through the college grounds and all
were simply amazed to find such a big
institution of learning in Centre coun-
ty. On the return trip they journey-
ed through the penitentiary grounds,
following the rerpentine driveway
past the death hcuse and other build-
ings, and the immensity of ihis state
penal institution was also a revelation
to the visitors. Returning to Belle-
fonte one of the old comrades, J. J.
Rogers, of Wellsboro, stated that he
enjoyed the trip very much, but that
the drive past the penitentiary was
the crookedest road he had ever trav-
eled, and a bystander called his atten-
tion to the fact that it was always a
crooked road to the penitentiary.
A big campfire was held in the
court house in the evening. Captain
C. T. Fryberger presided, Rev. G. W.
Emenhizer offered prayer and brief
addresses were made by Judge Jenry
C. Quigley, Col. J. L. Spangler, ex-
Judge Ellis * L. Orvis, Judge R. J.
Richards, Clement Dale Esq., Prof.
John Hamilton and Cel. H. S. Taylor.
A male quartettc rendered two very |
appropriate selections and a big fea-
ture of the evening was a recitation
by little Miss Viola Peters, of Pine
Grove Mills, entitled “Be Thankful
That You Live in the U. S. A.”
The day’s doings closed with a big
banquet at the Brockerhoff house. At
this gathering the old soldiers were
honored with the presence of Mrs. M.
A. B. Boal, mother of Lieut. Theodore
Davis Beal, of Boalsburg, who fur-
nished a beautiful potted plant as a
centre piece for the banquet table.
At the conclusion of the repast Com-
rade James A. Meyers officiated as
toastmaster and quite 2a number of
the old soldiers responded to toasts.
A guest at the banquet table was
Chaplain T. W. Young, of the new
penitentiary, who told of the memor-
able fight between the monitor and
Merrimac at Newport News, in which
he took part. Before adjourning a vote
of thanks was tendered the citizens
of Bellefonte for their kind treatment:
and a vote of thanks to comrade W.
H. Fry for the very complete arrange-
ments he made for the gathering.

——The venerable David Rhinesmith,
accompanied by his daughter, Miss Bes-
sie, went down toward Jacksonville on
Wednesday on the hunt of a good cow.
In the neighborhood of Lyontown he had
a bad fall and was rendered unconscious.
Not knowing how badly he might be in-
jured word was telephoned to Bellefonte
and the ambulance was sent down and
the aged gentleman brought to the Belle-
fonte hospital. He shortly after recov-
ered consciousness and it fortunately
proved that his injuries are not serious.
Prof. W. A. Krise, of Centre
Hall, celebrated his seventy-eighth
birthday anniversary on Tuesday in a
very quiet manner, owing to the fact
that he has net been in good health
since last May. A few friends were
invited in and joined the family circle
at a big dinner. Miss Ruth Krise, a
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. S.
Krise, of Roxbury, has been helping
to lock after her grandfather’s wants
since he became ill, and her brother,
George Krise, a sailor in the United
States navy now home on a furlough,
was preseni. at Tuesday’s celebration.
Mr. Krise is well known throughout
central Pennsylvania from having
been a school teacher for thirty-eight
years, thirteen years of which were
spent in teaching in Cambria county.

fall for Bellefonte, will be the lecture
in the court house, Tuesday evening,
October 17th, by Dr. Anna Shaw, for
vears National president of the Wom-
an’s Suffrage Organization. Dr.
Shaw, who is perhaps the most wide-
ly known woman of America, resign-
ed her national position within the
past year, to go into field work, and
during the fall campaign only one
week of her time has been allotted to
Pennsylvania, Bellefonte being so for-
tunate as to secure one night of this
week. With Dr. Anna Shaw will be
Mrs. J. I. Miller, of Pitsburgh, chair-
man of the Equal Franchise Associa-
tion of Allegheny county, who by car-
rying her county for Suffrage last
fall, is now recognized as one of the
strongest and ablest leaders of the or-
ganization. It is an opportunity
rarely given a town this size; conse-
quently, everyone should hear these
two very noted women. No admis-
sion will be asked, though an offering
will be taken during the evening.

Shoe Rubbed Heel, Blood Poison De-
veloped.
On Monday Rev. Irvin S. Hodgson,
pastor of the Methodist church at
Snow Shoe, with his wife and daugh-
ter, came to Bellefonte on business
and a shopping expedition.
Hodgson wore a new pair of shoes
one of which not only rubbed a blister
on his heel but also rubbed it open.
The reverend and his family took din-
ner at the E:ockerhoff house and
while eating Hodgson became
sick so that }.> could not finish his
dinner.
Thinking ti:2 cool air would do him
good he lez: the hotel and walked
across the Diamond to the court
house but "7 that time he was seized
with exc:utiating pains in the back.
He was assisted into the office of
county treasurer David Chambers and
a physician sent for who, after a thor-
ough examination said that tae open
blister on his heel had become infect-
ed from the dye in the stocking and
that he was then suffering with the
first stages of blood poisoning.
The treasurer’s office was turned
into a temporary hospital and heraic
measures to combat the infection
were resorted to. In the late after-
noon the reverend gentleman was
taken home and was a pretty sick
man all of Monday night. By Tues-
day afterncon the infection had some-
what abated and since then he has
been improving with every indication
of a permanent recovery within a few
days.

Centre County Farmers" Compliment-
ed On Apple Crop.
The Altocna “Times” on Tuesday
thus compliments the farmers and
fruit growers of Centre county on
their gocd crop of apples this year:
The apple crop in Centre county is
said to be the-largest in the history
of the county. Centre county formers
have extensive orchards, every apple
tree is full, and the fruit is of excep-
tionally fine quality. Picking and
shipping have already begun and
cider mills are running day and night
to work up the culls.
The Centre county fruit growers
have taken many lessors from the ex-
periments made annually at State
College, relating to pruning, spray-
ing, mulching and cultivatin , and
this is given as a contributing cause
for the large crop. A great deal of the
Centre county fruit and produce
comes te this city, so that Altoona
will directly benefit as a result of the
great crop.
The local fruit growers do not have
such glowing reports as come from
Centre county, conditions being less
favorable. Many have fair crops,
which are now being marketed.
