I et GLENN.—Charles A. Glenn, the old-time photographer who had been- a familiar figure in Bellefonte during the past quarter of a century, away last Wednesday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Robert H. Fry, on east Logan street, the result of a general breakdown. “ He was a ‘son of Mr. and Mrs. George Glenn and was born oals- burg on May 28th, 1833, hence had attained the advanced age of 85 years, 7 months and 4 days. In April, 1861, shortly after the breaking out of the Civil war, he enlisted for service in Company H, Fourth Pennsylvania volunteers for a period of three months and was made a corporal in the company. When his term of en- listment expired he was on detached duty for a brief period. Returning from the service he took up photog- raphy and in later years purchased a photographer’s car and traveled over the county, spending some time in each town and village. Upwards of thirty years ago he located in Belle- fonte and his car stood where the Pot- ter-Hoy hardware store is now locat- ed. Then it was moved further north on Water street, then to the site of the present hardware house on west High street and from there to its present location on south Water street. He was one of a family of five children and the last one to pass away. Funeral services were held at the Fry home at ten o'clock last Satur- day morning by Dr. W. K. McKinney, after which the remains were laid to rest in the Union cemetery. il BRESSLER.—Mrs. Minnie Bress- ler, wife of Michael Bressler, passed peacefully away at her home at Ma- rengo at eleven o'clock last Thursday night, following a little over a week’s illness with the flu. On Christmas day she and her husband were quiet- ly celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary when she was taken ill while eating dinner. Influenza devel- oped which resulted in her death. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Gummo and was born at Erb- town twenty-seven years ago. She was a splendid young woman and in addition to being a good housekeeper and homemaker was fond of outdoor sports, one of her favorite pastimes being hunting. During the recent deer hunting season she brought to earth a fine buck not far from her home. She is survived by her hus- band, her parents, one sister and a brother, namely: Mrs. Herbert Grove, living near Zion; William Gummo, of Baileyville; John, at home, and James, in Tyrone. She was a member of the Methodist church from early girlhood. The funeral services were held at her late home at twelve o’clock last Saturday by Rev. 1. E. Fisher, after which the remains were taken to Pine Grove Mills for burial in the new cemetery. Il : u ; McCLURE.—Following an illness | of almost two years with Bright's dis- ease and other complications William McClay McClure passed away at his home on Bishop street at six o’clock on Tuesday evening. He had been confined to his bed since Thanksgiv- ing day. Deceased was the second son of Harvey and Sarah Riddle McClure and was born in the house in which he died on April 4th, 1851, hence was 67 years, 9 months and 3 days old. His father was a harness maker and as a young man William learned the same trade and followed it all his life. In 1887 he was united in marriage to Miss Katharine Barnhart who sur- vives with the following children: Mrs. Paul McGarvey, of Bellefonte; Martha and Helen, with the Arm- strong Cork company in Pittsburgh; Thomas, at home; William, with the U. S. forces in France; Mary,. Caro- line, Louise and Rebecca, all at home. He also leaves one brother, James H. McClure, of Bellefonte. Funeral services will be held at his late home on Bishop street this (Fri- day) afternoon by Dr. Ezra H. Yo- cum, of the Methodist church, after which burial will be made in the Union cemetery. Bad Accident at Whiterock Quarries. John A. Weaver and his son Earl, of Pleasant Gap, were the victims of a serious accident at Whiterock quar- ries just before the noon hour on Wednesday. Some workmen were en- gaged in breaking up the frozen ground covering over the vein of stone and had put off a shot which dislodged quite a lot of material. But it left an overhang which several men went up to dislodge. While they were on their way up to the top of the quarry Mr. Weaver and son went into the quarry to finish loading a car of stone, both believing it was entirely safe to do so, but hard- ly had they started work when a por- ‘held with tion of the overhang fell down and the two of them were almost buried beneath a huge pile of frozen earth and stone. They were gotten out as quickly as possible and conveyed to their home. While no bones were broken Earl Weaver was knocked un- conscious and remained in that con- dition for some time. Just how ser- ious their injuries are was not deter- mined yesterday, as very much will depend upon whether they are hurt internally. The accident to the father and son comes at a most unfortunate time as just last week Mrs. Weaver had a leg amputated, at the Bellefonte hospital, owing to a bad case of blood poison- ing. — Owing to the difficulty in se- curing sufficient help tailor A.C. Smith expects to close his shop in the Reynolds bank building on March 1st and devote his time to other interests. | man ] | ——Milkman Harry Corman is back ; on his wagon after quite a serious ill- | ness with the flu.

Snow began falling early Thursday evening and by Fri- day morning the ground was covered to a depth of six inches or more. And then just as naturally as ever a cold wave followed the snow and Saturday morning we had the first zero weath- er of the winter. Sunday morning thermometers in Bellefonte registered ten degrees below zero while at var- ious places in the county sixteen de- grees below were recorded. Monday morning was still colder, the mercury dropping from twelve to eighteen be- low zero. But of one thing we are as- sured: This winter won't be as long as last winter was. ——— A —— ——On Tuesday morning Ives Har- vey and J. E. LaBarre were driving into Bellefonte on the Buffalo Run road and in coming through Bush’s Addition James Mitchell, the seven year old son of Mr. Harry Mitchell, coasted out into the road right in front of Mr. Harvey's automobile. Mr. LaBarre, who was driving, ran the machine into the ditch to avoid hitting the boy, but as it was struck the sled on the side throwing the lad off and breaking his left leg between the thigh and knee. The two men hurriedly picked the boy up and took him to the Bellefonte hospital where he is receiving the best of treatment. — ee William Witmer, of east Bish- op street, had a fall on Sunday that resulted in his being confined to the house for a few days.

L, Jan. 6.—Colonel Theodore Roosevelt died in his sleep early today at his home on Sagamore Hill in this village.

The Colonel suffered a severe attack of rheumatism and sciatica on New Year's day, but none believed that his illness would likely prove fatal. The former President sat up most of Sun- day and retired at 11 o'clock last night. About 4 a. m. Mrs. Roosevelt, who was the only other member of the family at Oyster Bay, went to her husband’s room and found that he had died during the night. .
