RUNKLE.—Charles David Runkle,
a native of Centre county, died very
suddenly at his home in Knoxville,
near Pittsburgh, about one o'clock
last Saturday morning. Mr. Runkle
was an enthusiastic G. A. R. worker
and had taken a very active part in
the memorial services in Pittsburgh
on Friday, apparently in as good
health as ever. He retired Friday
night without even a complaint but
about one o'clock Saturday morning
he got up, walked to his son’s house
and told him that he felt ill and it
was such a feeling as he had never
before experienced. He died shortly
after and the physicians decided it
was a combination of acute indiges-
tion and exhaustion as the result of
his hard work on Memorial day.
Deceased was a son of Judge John
K. and Lucinda Geary Runkle and
was born in Potter township seventy-
six years ago. He was one of a fam-
ily of thirteen children and his boy-
hood days were spent on the farm,
working during the summer and at-
tending school in the winter. When
the Civil war broke out he enlisted in
Company B, 148th regiment, Gen.
Beaver’s old command, and took part
in some of the fiercest battles of the
war, being wounded in the battle ef
Chancellorsville. At the close of the
war he returned to Centre county and
engaged in farming later devoting
most of his time to buying and sell-
ing stock. In this capacity he be-
came known throughout Centre and
adjoining counties and acquired a
reputation for fair dealing that ex-
tended throughout the State. But he
outgrew the business in Centre coun-
ty and finally went to Philadelphia
where he remained a few years then
went to Knoxville, near Pittsburgh,
where he located and for years was
connected with the Knoxville Land
Improvement company. During the
past two years he had lived a retired
life.
He was an active member of the
Presbyterian church all his life; was
an enthusiastic G. A. R. man, a mem-
ber of the Centre county Veteran
club and a Mason in high standing.
In the autumn of 1867 he was unit-
ed in marriage to Miss Margaret J.
Love, a daughter of Associate Judge
Love, of Potter township. They had
two children, Gertrude, who was burn-
ed to death by the explosion of a coal
oil lamp twenty-seven years ago, and
William Love Runkle, of Knoxville,
Pa. He is also survived by his wife,
one brother and a sister, Jacob Run-
kle, in the far west, and Mrs. Simon
Runkle, of Kansas. He also leaves
the following half-brothers and sis-
ters: Rev. James Runkle, of Jean-
ette; Dr. Stuart C. Runkle, of Phila-
delphia; J. H. Runkle, of Old Fort;
Aaron Runkle, in California; Mrs.
Catharine McClellan and Miss Sallie
Runkle, of Newport, and Mrs. J. B.
White, of State College.
Funeral services were held at his
late home in Knoxville at twelve
o’clock on Monday by Rev. Dr. Mec-
Pherson, of the Presbyterian church,
the G. A. R. also adding its tribute.
On Tuesday afternoon the remains
were brought to Centre county and
taken to Centre Hall where burial
was made direct from the train, the
Masonic fraternity having charge.

CLEVENSTINE.—John S. Cleven-
stine, 2 well known farmer of Walker
township, died very suddenly on the
evening of Memorial day at his home
on the Harvey Shaffer farm near Zi-
on. He worked in the cornfield most
of the day and was in Zion in the
evening, returning home about nine
o’clock. A short time later the fami-
ly retired and a few minutes after ten
o’clock Mr. Clevenstine complained of
a pain at his heart and before any-
thing could be done for him he pass-
ed away, at just 10:20 o’clock.
Mr. Clevenstine was a son of Isaac
and Mary Markley Clevenstine and
was born in Walker township on Au-
gust 10th, 1886, hence was 32 years,
9 months and 20 days old. His entire
life was spent in the neigborhood of
his birth and he was universally es-
teemed by all who knew him. During
the past seven or eight years he had
occupied the Harvey Shaffer farm and
was quite successful in his work as an
agriculturist. He had been a mem-
ber of the Reformed church since boy-
hood and was an upright, christian
gentleman.
About ten years ago he was united
in marriage to Miss Lila Shaffer who
survives with three sons, Henry, Paul
and Crider. He also leaves his moth-
er and one brother, Harry Cleven-
stine, proprietor of the City bakery,
Bellefonte. Rev. Charles Faust had
charge of the funeral services which
were held in the Reformed church at
Zion at two o'clock on Monday after-
noon, burial being made in the Zion
cemetery.
Il I
GLENN.—Miss Sarah C. Glenn
passed away at her home at Bailey-
ville at two o’clock on Tuesday after-
noon, of exhaustion, following a lin- |
gering illness caused by a fall she
sustained several years ago. She was
a daughter of Robert and Nancy Bai-
ley Glenn, and was born at Clarion,
Pa., on May 19th, 1842, hence was in
her seventy-eighth year. When but
a child the family moved to Centre
county and located on the well known
Glenn homestead in west Ferguson
township where practically her entire
life was spent. She was a member
of the Presbyterian church from girl-
hood and a woman who lived up to
her christian faith. She was a charm-
ing neighbor and friend and will be
greatly missed by a large circle of
acquaintances. She is survived by
one sister, Miss Nannie Glenn, as well
as a number of nephews and nieces.
Funeral services will be held at her
late home at ten o’clock this (Friday)
morning by Rev. R. M. Campbell,
after which burial will be made in the
Graysville cemetery.
