DORWORTH.—A brief item in last week’s “Watchman” told of the death at four o’clock on Thursday afternoon of the venerable Dr. Edwin S. Dor- worth, who passed away at his home on east High street after a prolonged | illness. He was stricken with paraly- sis on April 13th, 1918, and never re- covered therefrom. Deceased was a son of Jonathan and Henrietta K. Dorworth and was born at Emanus, Lehigh county, on Febru- ary 19th, 1834, hence had reached the advanced age of 84 years, 8 months and 19 days. When a young man he taught school in Centre and adjoin- ing counties and during one or two years was identified with the teaching staff of the Pine Grove Mills Acade- my. Later he took a course at the Iron City college, Pittsburgh, after which he studied medicine at the Uni- versity of Pennsylvania. He then lo- cated in Howard for the practice of his profession but later went to New York where he took an advanced course in medicine at the University of New York. He located in Belle- fonte in 1865, and at that time few of the country roads were passable for a vehicle all the year around and most of his traveling was. done on horse- back, with his saddlebags filled with medicine. He speedily acquired a large practice and traveled the sur- rounding country for miles. In his work he hearkened to the call of the rich and poor alike and used his fund of knowledge for the healing of the sick and relief of the distressed wherever the call came from and at any hour day or night. He practiced his profession even up to the day he was stricken and was the oldest phy- sician in Centre county. For many years he was a member of the Disciple church but later in life transferred his membership to the Presbyterian church, and always lived an upright, christian life. He was one of the oldest members of the Bellefonte Lodge of Masons and a man who not only commanded the re- spect of all but who had a host of friends in Bellefonte and throughout Centre county. He was united in marriage to Miss Hannah Jenkins, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Rees Jenkins, who survives with four children, namely: Misses Elizabeth J. and Alice K. Dor- worth, and Charles E. Dorworth, of Bellefonte, and William J., of Balti- more, Md. Funeral services were held at his late home on east High street at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon by Dr. W. K. McKinney, after which burial was made in the Union cemetery. B fl RUPP.—John A. Rupp died at his home at Boalsburg at 7:40 o’clock on Monday evening ‘following an illness of some weeks with a complication of diseases. He was born in Haines township on July 14th, 1848, hence had reached the age of 70 years, 3 months and 26 days. His early life was spent on the farm.but when he “grew to manhood he learned the mill- ing trade, a vocation he followed prac- tically all his life. In 1887 he was elected Register of Centre county on the Democratic ticket, being one of a very few Dem- ocrats elected that year. He was re- elected in 1890, serving all told six years and making a very efficient and accommodating official. At the com- pletion of his official career he return- ed to Harris township and resumed his occupation as a miller. He was a life-long member of the Reformed church, a member of Bellefonte En- campment No. 72, I. O. O. F., and the Boalsburg Lodge No. 894 I. O. O. F. Surviving him are his wife and five children, namely: J.

The funeral was held at two o’clock yesterday afternoon. After brief services at the house the remains were taken to the Reformed church where a funeral sermon was preached by Rev. S. C. Stover, after which bur- ial was made in the Boalsburg ceme- tery. Il | BROWN.—Mrs. Mary Brown, wife of Edward A. Brown, died at her home on Bishop street at five o’clock on Monday evening, following an ill- ness with a complication of diseases dating back to August. The family spent the past two years in Sheffield, Ala., and only last Wednesday re- turned to Bellefonte, coming north in the hope that the change would be beneficial to Mrs. Brown’s health, but she passed away within five days. Deceased was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard McCafferty and was born in Bellefonte on August 17th, 1866, hence was 52 years, 2 months and 25 days old. Her entire life was spent here with the exception of the past two years in Alabama. She was a member of the Catholic church and home-loving christian woman. In ad- dition to her husband she is survived by five children, namely: Catharine, Edward, Richard, Mame and Leo.

Kochler, the | itinerant peddler, who was known all | over Centre and Clearfield counties, | died of an attack of pneumonia at the i John Ammerman home on Bishop street last Friday evening.

Deceased was a son of George and Elizabeth Farringer Kochler and was born at Howard on December 24th, 1844, hence had attained the age ‘of 73 years, 10 months and 14 days. Af- flicted as he was from boyhood up Mr. Kochler elected to make his own way through life and for almost fifty years tramped through Centre and Clear- field counties with a pack on his back selling notions ‘and linen and even dress goods, and thereby not only sup- ported himself but = accumulated enough that had: he lived in an inca- pacitated condition it would have kept him for years. And he went about his humble work uncomplainingly and with a sublime faith that he was do- ing the best he could with his life. He was an ardent believer in the doctrine of the Methodist church and never lost an opportunity to attend divine worship. He got out of his life all that he was able to do and no one who knew him can even question the fact that he has gone to the reward he so well merited. He was laid to rest on Monday in the Union cemetery.
