THE SUPREME SACRIFICE.
Two Centre County Boys Killed in
Action in France.
Every father and mother who has
a son in France has without doubt
scanned the daily casualty lists with
a certain feeling of dread lest his boy
or her boy would be on that list as
having given his life for the cause in
which the United States is fighting,
and many a father and many a moth-
er has had cause to turn away with
tear-dimmed eyes because the name
of some dear one appeared on the list.
Bellefonte and Centre county escip-
ed in almost a miraculous manner un-
til Friday morning of last week when
word came from the War Department
that two young soldiers of this coun-
ty had met their death in action in
France. The two named are Charles
F. Doll, son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Doll, of Bellefonte, and Edward B.
Brooks, son of Mr. Orlin Brooks, of
Boggs township. Both young men
left Bellefonte as members of Troop
L, First Pennsylvania cavalry when
that organization went to Camp Han-
cock for training on September 11th,
1917. When that organization was
permanently disbanded early in Jan-
uary, 1918, both Doll and Brooks were
assigned to the supply company of
the 108th field artillery and it was
while serving with that organization
that both met their death on Septem-
ber 22nd. The telegram announcing
the killing of private Doll referred to
him as a wagoner, but no further par-
ticulars were giver. The fact, how-
ever, that both Doll and Brooks were!
killed on the same day leads to the
supposition that they both may have
been victims of the same Hun shell.
But it matters not how they met their
death, the fact that it was in action, |
and in the service of their country, is
evidence that they were faithfully
performing the duty assigned them,
and the shadow of their death falls
not alone upon their immediate fami- |
lies, but the communities in which |
they lived. Mourning their death as!
we all do there is consolation in the .
fact that though we shall see them !
no more they are glorified in the cause |
for which they fought so bravely and !
for which so many others have given |
up their life.
CHARLES F. DOLL
Was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wil-
liam Doll and was born in Bellefonte
on June 19th, 1897, hence was 21
years, 3 months and 2 days old. He
was educated in the parochial school !
then took a course in the Bellefonte
High school, graduating in June, |
1915. Shortly thereafter he went to
work for C. D. Casebeer, the jeweler,
where he was employed when he en-
listed early in 1917. The last letter
his folks at home had from him was
written on July 24th, and they receiv-
ed it on August 24th. The fact that !
the announcement from the War De-
|
partment gave him as a “wagoner”
has created some doubt in the minds |
of his friends as to the rightful iden- |
tification, as his last letters home told
of his being an assistant to the veter- |
inary surgeon. Mourning the death
of the young man are his father and
mother and one sister, Miss Marie |
Doll, as well as a host of friends in
Bellefonte. :
EDWARD B. BROOKS. i
Was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Orlin |
Brooks and was born near Pleasant
Gap on February 28th, 1899, hence |
was less than twenty years old. His |
life was principally spent upon the |
farm and he grew up into a stalwart, |
robust young man. He enlisted in |
Troop L early in the summer of 1917 ,
and spent the six weeks in Bellefonte
that the troop was in training here !
prior to going south. His mother
died a few years ago but surviving ,
him are his father and the following |
brothers and sisters: Leonard, now |
in training at Camp Lee, Petersburg, |
Va.; Mrs. Viola Dunklebarger, of
Pleasant Gap; Raymond, Frank, Ken-
neth, Luther and Dale at home. The
young soldier had ten thousand dol-
lars war risk insurance which he had
taken out in his father’s name.
TYRONE BOY KILLED IN FRANCE.
Mail agent W. H. Burrows, of Ty-
rone, on Saturday afternoon received
a telegram from the War Department
announcing the fact that his son, Paul
W. Burrows, had been killed in action
in France on September 26th. The
young man trained at Camp Hancock
as a member of Troop B, (Sheridan
troop of Tyrone) and when the caval-
ry was disbanded was assigned to the
road last Saturday morning, when an
. young soldier the court house bell
escort was given and the streets over

He was one of the last big contin-
gent of national army men sent from

CHARLES F. DOLL
BELLEFONTE
Was Killed in Action in ¥France on Sep-
tember 22nd.
Mr. Doll was the only son of Mr.
and Mrs. William Doll and was born
in Bellefonte June 19, 1897. He en-
listed in Troop L, First Penna. caval-
ry, went to Camp Hancock Septem-
ber 11, 1917, and when the cavalry
was disbanded in January, 1918, was
assigned to the supply company of
the 108th field artillery. His death
evidently occurred at the opening of
the drive against St. Mihiel.
FAME.
WILLIAM HENRY MITTERLING
CENTRE HALL
Wounded and Gassed in France on Sep-
tember 6th.
Mr. Mitterling was born in Potter
township twenty-three years ago, be-
ing a son of Mr. and Mrs. William
Mitterling. He enlisted in the hos-
pital corps of the 1st Penna. cavalry,
went to Camp Hancock September
11, 1917, and went across to France
in May, 1918. He was serving with
a hospital unit when wounded. His
father is dead and his mother lives at
Centre Hall.
108rd trench mortar battery. He was
in the drive on the Marne and his
death evidently occurred about the
opening of the drive on the St. Mihiel
salient. The Burrows family at one
time lived in Bellefonte for several
years. Mrs. Burrows died a number
of years ago but to mourn the young
soldier’s death are his father and the
following brothers and sisters: Mrs.
A. C. Woods, of Lutherville, Md.;
Misses Lavina and Nancy, at home;
James, in training at Camp Caswell,
N. C., and William H. Jr., of Niagara
Falls.
YOUNG SOLDIER DIES IN FRANCE.
Rev. Dr. Frank D. Hartsock, of
Scranton, superintendent of the
Scranton district Northeast confer-
ence of the M. E. church, on Saturday
evening was notified by the War De-
partment that his son, Robert Gray
Hartsock, had died in France on Sep-
tember 4th of bronchial pneumonia.
The young man was attached to the
base signal school, First Depot divis-
ion, and was scheduled to finish his
course about the middle of Septem-
ber. He was past twenty-three years
of age and is survived by his parents,
one sister and a brother, the latter be-
ing in training at Wesleyan Univer-
sity~for the maval aviation service.
The Hartsock’s are natives of Buffalo
Run valley, this county, and have
many friends here who sympathize
with them in their bereavement. Rev.
Hartsock was in Centre county
last week attending the funeral of
Rev. George M. Glenn, at that time
having no knowledge of the fact that
his eldest son was then lying cold in
death in the soil of France.
JOSEPH H. ANDERSON BURIED.
After a week of heartbreaking sus-
pense and uncertainty the body of
Joseph H. Anderson, the young sol-
dier who died at Camp Greenleaf, Ga.,
of pneumonia, arrived in Bellefonte
over the Lewisburg and Tyrone rail-
examination dispelled all doubts as to
the remains being those of the son of
Mr. and Mrs. John Anderson. The
funeral was held at ten o’clock on
Monday morning from the Catholic
church, burial being made in the
Catholic cemetery. In honor of the
was tolled during the period of the
procession to the church. A military

to traffic.
FUNERAL OF GUYER DURST.
On Thursday, October 10th, at the
close of a glorious day, the last trib-
ute of honor and affection was paid
to Guyer Durst, the young soldier of
Harris township who died at Camp
Lee, Va., on October 6th of Spanish
influenza. The remains were accom-
panied to Centre county by a guard of
one and taken to the home of his
aunt, Mrs. Samuel Wagner, of Boals-
burg, where funeral services were
held in the open, Rev. S. C. Stover, of
the Reformed church, of which the
soldier was a member, officiating.
The dead was accorded every honor
due him, even though he died in camp
instead of on the battle field. A gold
star—the first one—was placed on the
service flag which floats proudly in
the Boalsburg public square, while the
Stars and Stripes floated at half-
mast.
On the casket reposed a red cross
of dahlias, on a white flower back-
ground, the gift of the Red Cross
auxiliary of Boalsburg. A beautiful
floral emblem was contributed by the
Odd Fellows, as well as a profusion
of flowers by individuals. The Odd
Fellows had charge of the services at
the grave. A firing squad was pres-
ent from State College and gave the
final salute over the grave. The
young soldier sleeps his last sleep and
the bugler sounded the final taps.
Guyer Durst’s death has left its
impress upon his home community.
He was universally liked by young
and old. He was devoted to his
church and was a regular attendant.
When called te the colors in August
he readily and cheerfully responded,
and his earnest desire was to go over
to France. When he left he express-
ed warm appreciation for the various
gifts he received from the Red Cross
of Boalsburg and individual friends.
His letters of camp life were most in-
teresting, showing that he enjoyed
the training. He was always cheer-
ful, did his duty without complaint
and was proving a genuine soldier.
In a recent letter he wrote: “I cer-
tainly do appreciate all my good
friends in Boalsburg have done for
me. I read my testament every day,
and intend to keep on doing so until
the end.”
OTHER INTERESTING NES OF MEN
IN THE SERVICE.
On Sunday morning a special train
carried 191 young men who had been
in training at State College away to
regular army training camps, the con-
tingent being sent to three or four
different camps, according to the
character of the service to which they
were assigned. And on Tuesday in-
coming trains carried in the neigh-
borhood of four hundred young men
to the College to enter upon their
course of training.
Jack Montgomery, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. L. Montgomery, who was
compelled to give up his military
training at Purdue University angi re-
turn home early in the summer on ac-
count of a bad attack of rheumatism,
has recovered sufficiently that he is
able to go out automobiling and even
walk down the street, so that the
chances are favorable for his perma-
nent recovery.
Dr. J. E. Ward left Bellefonte on
Monday for Camp Greenleaf, Ga., in
response to a telegram announcing
the fact that his son, Arthur T. Ward,
was seriously ill with influenza.
Since he left, however, Mrs. Ward
has received two telegrams announc-
ing the fact that he has taken a turn
for the better and is considerably im-
proved.
A cable from Berne, Switzerland,
on Tuesday, stated that a wholesale
escape of American prisoners had tak-
en place at Camp Villigen on Sunday.
This is the camp that Lieut. E. R.
Taylor, of Bellefonte, has been at and
his friends here are naturally hoping
he is one of the seventy who got away
and that he will reach neutral terri-
tory in safety.
Later word received by Mr. and
Mrs. D. C. Mitterling, of Centre Hall,
is in effect that Mr. Mitterling’s
brother, William Henry Mitterling,
was badly gassed in France and not
seriously wounded. His condition is
such that he is assured of recovery
and will then likely be assigned as
an assistant in one of the U. S. hos-
pitals.
Mrs. Josephine Hardenbaugh, of
Millheim, on Wednesday received no-
tice that her son, Lieut. (Dr.) John
A. Hardenbaugh, had been gassed in
France. While not in a serious con-
dition his eyesight has been some-
what impaired.
Mahlon E. Baird, of Milesburg, was
wounded in France on August 11th,
but the wound was not serious as on
Wednesday his parents received a let-
ter from him stating that he was back
on duty with his company.
Among the promotions at Fort
Monroe, Va., announced on Saturday
were Charles A. Butz, of State Col-
lege, to second lieutenant and assign-
ed to port of embarkation at Hobok-
en, N. J.
Paul M. Limbert, of Rebersburg, a
second lieutenant in the coast artil-
lery service.

War Dept. Seeks Officer Material at
State College.
The War Department has issued its
first call for officers from The Penn-
sylvania State College unit of the
Students’ Army Training Corps. Six-
ty-one students, who have had prior
military training at the College, are
wanted for line duty. They will be
designated by Major James Baylies,
U. S. A. retired, the college command-
ant, and will be sent to an instruction
camp for further training.
Letters from Bellefonte Soldiers in
Overseas Service.
Mrs. James Kane, of Lamb street,
has two sons in service overseas, Ber-
nard, who is with Company F, 56th
engineers, on duty in France, and
James, with the 234th Areo squadron
which has been training in Scotland.
Both boys write home regularly and
there is nothing brightens the Kane
home so much as a letter from one or
the other of those boys who are serv-!
ing their country four thousand miles
away from home. Among the letters
received by Mrs. Kane are the follow-
ing:
Somewhere in France, Aug. 28.
Just a few lines to let you know I
received your kind and loving letter
and was more than glad to hear from
you. I am having some time over
here. It is next to being at home.
Tell the other boys that they don’t
know what they are missing, or they
would have been here long ago. Be-
lieve me, I don’t want to come back!
until it is all over, and from the looks
of things it won’t be very long until |
we have Fritzy in his wooden kimono.
I haven’t seen any of the boys from
home since I've been here. Tell Joe
to. get Joe Boyer’s address from Dick
and send it to me and perhaps I will
be able to look him up. Did you re-
ceive the package I sent you? It con-
tained souvenirs. I am taking a six
week’s course in a school of mechan-
ics and will soon be through. Will
close now, with love to all.
BERNARD.
Edzell, Scotland, Sept. 5
Just a line to let you know that I
am still living and enjoying the best
of health. We are now located among
the hills of Scotland and our camp af-
fords some pretty nice views. Early
in the morning the clouds seem to
hang right on top of the hills.
It is quite cool here at present so
that the weather is just about right,
but if it gets much colder we will
have to wear our overcoats. Some of
Scotland’s most famous and pictur-
esque views are not far from our
camp and I hope to see some of them
before long. Running through one
end of our camp is a fair sized stream
which contains an abundance of
trout and you can rest assured that
we will soon be eating some of them.
The other day a sports meet was
held on the town commons and just
naturally a lot of we Y#nks went
down to see the fun. When we got
there we were asked to enter a team
in the various events and a few of the
boys decided to try their luck. At the
end of the meet our men had won
most of the events, which proves that :
it takes the Yanks to do things.
We have had quite a bit of rain
lately but the sun is shining today
and it is ideal autumn weather. I ex-
pect to get a service leave in the near
future and want to spend it in seeing
something of Scotland. I am now
wearing a service chevron for six
month’s overseas duty. It is a small
V-shaped gold braid and is worn on
the left sleeve near the cuff.
I have just read in the papers
about the registration in the United
States of men from 18 to 45 years old,
inclusive. It certainly looks as if we
will have a big army by this time
next year and then old Fritz will have
to take a back seat, if he doesn’t have
to do so before. Give my love and
best regards to all the folks. The
bugle is now sounding the mess call
and I must close. Love to all.
Wea JAMES.
Are You Buying Your W. S. S.
The report for the war savings
committee for Centre county for the
week ending October 5th, 1918, shows
that we had a per capita for that
week of 40c., which gives us a total
per capita of $15.89. We retain fourth
place in the list of counties in the
Eastern district of Pennsylvania.
We have a per capita of $4.11 to
raise before Centre county will “go
over the top” in actual sales. Are
you subscribing for your share of war
savings stamps?

| A TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION.
Will be Held on Beaver Farm, Thurs-
day, October 31st.
Every farmer in Centre county is
urged to attend the tractor demon-
stration that is being arranged by the
Farm Bureau to be held Thursday,
October 31st, at one o'clock, on the
Beaver farm just outside of Belle-
| fonte.
This will be the first opportunity
that the farmers of Centre county
will have to see several tractors in
actual operation on the same field
and at the same time. The demon-
stration will be made just as practical
as possible. Each machine will be re-
quired to do good plowing and at a
uniform depth. No racing or fast
plowing will be allowed. The only
data that will be noted is the fuel
consumption.
The demonstration will consist im
plowing sod ground and will include
the following makes of tractors:
INTERNATIONAL, HUBER,
FORDSON, CLEVELAND,
CASE, HAPPY FARMER,
! FRICK, WATERLOO BOY,
! MOLINE, BATES STEEL MULE
The demonstration will start
promptly at one o'clock. In case of
rain it will be held the following day.
Make your plans now to be there.—
R. H. Olmstead, county agent.
For Belgian Relief.
The Bellefonte Chapter of the Red
Cross and its auxiliaries, under the
management of Mis. R. S. Brouse,
has collected and shipped to the com-
mission of relief of Belgians, 1980
pounds of clothing.
The result of the linen shower held
last week under the direction of Mrs.
Olewine, is as follows: 70 sheets, 163
bath towels, 240 hand towels, 4 doz-
en napkins, and 120 handkerchiefs.
. This does not quite make up the al-
lotment, but the Chapter is arranging
to supply the difference.
The Red Cross is very grateful to
the people of the community and sur-
rounding country for their generous
contribution to both of these worthy
causes. |
David D. Duey, of Tyrone, but
formerly of Centre county, who lost
several fingers on his right hand as
the result of a railroad accident on
the Moshannon branch on May 31st,
when he had his hand crushed while
working as a brakeman, has been
awarded compensation insurance to
the amount of $1,750. Under the
agreement reached Duey will receive
ten dollars weekly for a period of 175
weeks.
BURD.—Dr. W. S. Burd, a native
of Centre county, but for years a well
known dentist of Bellwood, Blair
county, dropped dead while on a fish-
ing trip along the Juniata river last
Friday morning. The doctor was one
of a party which motored to Hunting-
don to spend the day fishing for bass.
' As he left the automobile on arriving
! at Huntingdon he remarked that he
t felt ill and before any others of the
party could reach him he dropped
dead.
Winfield Scott Burd was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. John R. Burd and was
born at Rebersburg, this county, on
June 29th, 1860, hence was 58 years,
3 months and 12 days old. He was
educated at Rebersburg and taught
school in Centre county eight years
then took a course in the dental school
of the University of Maryland, at
Baltimore, where he graduated in
1892. He had been located at Bell-
wood a number of years and was not
only a successful dentist but was
prominent in the affairs of the town.
McQUISTION. — Another human
landmark of Bellefonte passed away
in the death yesterday morning of
the venerable S. A. McQuistion, at his
home on west High street. He had
been confined to bed the past two
months and his death was the result
of a general breakdown owing to his
advanced age.
Simpson Arthurs McQuistion was a
son of Joseph and Isabelle Harper
McQuistion and was born at Butler
on May 29th, 1830, making his age
88 years, 4 months and 18 days.
When a young man he learned the
coach-making trade in his home town
and a number of years before the Civ-
il war made a trip through central
Pennsylvania visiting among other
towns Bellefonte. He was rather fa-
vorably impressed with this place,
and when he decided to strike out for
himself in 1859, after working four
years at Brookville, he headed for
Bellefonte. In those days there were
few railroads and, accompanied by his
brother-in-law, George Ziegler, he
made the trip in a spring wagon,
coming here by way of Philipsburg
and across the Allegheny mountain.
Mr. Ziegler went on to Sunbury but
Mr. McQuistion at once secured a job
here with David Bollinger, who had a
shop on Howard street, on the west
side of the Henry Harris property.
He had not been there long until Mr.
Bollinger made him a partner in the
business but the young coachmaker
was ambitious and it was not long
until he withdrew from the firm and
started a shop of his own on Bishop
street where the Undine building now
stands. There he laid the foundation
for a successful business which final-
ly outgrew his limited building and
shortly after his marriage he erected
the shops on north Thomas street
where he continued the business even
up unto his death.
He was a splendid workman and the
McQuistion vehicles, whether they
were coaches, carriages or buggies,
had a reputation second to none
throughout central Pennsylvania.
The introduction of the automobile,
however, played havoc with their
trade in new vehicles and of late
years their work has been principally
in the line of repairs.
Though of a quiet and unostenta-
tious demeanor Mr. McQuistion was
well versed in all the happenings of
the day and was possessed of a splen-
did memory, being able to recall all
the important happenings in the more
than half a century of his life in
Bellefonte. He was a kind and con-
siderate neighbor and a splendid citi-
zen in every way. Though never a
seeker after public preference he was
active in Democratic politics during
his early life and was sent to coun-
cil by the West ward which was then
overwhelmingly Republican. As a
member of borough council from the
West ward he made a very credita-
ble showing.
About fifty-six years ago he was
united in marriage to Miss Nancy
Williams, only daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Ephriam Williams, who passed
away thirty-two years ago, leaving
to survive him two children, Miss
Mary E. and Lewis H. McQuistion.
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock tomorrow (Saturday) after-
noon. Dr. W. K. McKinney will offi-
ciate and burial will be made in the
i Union cemetery.

WILLIAMS.—John M. Williams, a
well known citizen of Bald Eagle val-
ley, died at his home at Port Matilda
on Tuesday of last week following an
illness of some weeks with a compli-
cation of diseases. He was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Y. Williams and was
born forty-six years ago. He owned
and operated the large flouring mill
at Port Matilda and was quite suec-
cessful in the business. He was a di-
rector of the Farmers’ and Merchants
| National bank of Tyrone; was a mem-
ber of the Tyrone Lodge F. and A.
M. and the Port Matilda Lodge I. O.
0. F. He was also a member of the
Port Matilda Methodist church.
Seventeen years ago he was mar-
ried to Miss Grace Reese who survives
with the following children: Stanley,
Burton, Donald, Marjorie and Pau-
line. He also leaves the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. A. B.
Woodring, of Tyrone; Mrs. J. C.
Young, Hughesville; Mrs. Gordon A.
Williams, Houtzdale; Misses Mabel
and Florence at home, and Blake E.,
in the U. S. service in France. Fun-
eral services were held at his late
home at Port Matilda at two o’clock
on Friday afternoon, after which bur-
ial was made in the cemetery at Port
Matilda.

GARBRICK.—Esther M. Garbrick,
the young daughter of Preston and
Carrie Miller Garbrick, of Bush’s Ad-
dition, died on Thursday of last week
after a brief illness of cholera infan-
tum. She was born on June 2nd,
1916, hence was aged 2 years, 4
months and 7 days. She is survived
by her parents and two brothers. A
peculiar coincidence about the death
of this little girl is the fact that she
is the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Garbrick to die of the same disease
and at about the same age. Burial
was made in the Sunnyside cemetery
on Saturday afternoon.
