McQUISTION.—Lew McQuistion, a
life-long resident of Bellefonte, pass-
ed away at his home on west High
street at 3:30 o'clock on Wednesday
afternoon as the result of an attack
of pneumonia. He was taken ill on
Tuesday of last week and his case at
first baffled the skill of his physician
to diagnose, as there was such an ab-
sence of the usual symptoms of this
dread disease. Everything possible
was done for him but unfortunately |
his vitality was at ebb-tide and he
could not withstand the ravages of
this insidious disease.
Lewis Hanford McQuistion was a
son of Simpson Arthur and Nancy
Williams McQuistion and ‘was born in
Bellefonte about fifty-three years ago.
He was educated in the public schools
of the town and when he grew to
manhood he went to work in the car-
riage and coachmaking establishment
of his father and assisted in carrying
on the business until his father’s
death since which time he has been in
complete charge. While yet in his
teens Lew developed a keen interest
in polities and hardly had he main-
tained his majority when he loomed
up as a factor in the councils of the
Democratic party of the West ward.
He early became a faithful worker in
his party as well as one of the lead-
ers in the West ward and wielded an
influence that could always be de-
pended upon at a critical period. He
never sought any especial political
preferment for himself but years ago
was elected assessor in his ward and
has been re-elected time after time so
that he held that office at the time of
his death. He was a member of the
Bellefonte Lodge of Elks and was al-
ways interested in any movement
that he believed would result in good
to Bellefonte or the public at large.
He never married and his mother
dying about thirty-three years ago
and his father last October his only
survivor is one sister, Miss Mary E.
McQuistion, at home. Funeral serv-
ices will be held at his late home to-
morrow (Saturday) afternoon at two
o'clock by Dr. W. K. McKinney, of
the Presbyterian church, and burial
will be made in the Union cemetery.

SCHOLL.—The venerable George
Scholl died at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. Clement Dale, at Houser-
ville, last Thursday afternoon as the
result of a complication of diseases
incident to his advanced age.
He was a son of Jacob and Olive
Scholl and was born near Salona, in
Nittany valley, on December 27th,
1840, hence had reached the age of 78
years, 6 months and 15 days. In his
early life he learned the milling trade
and almost fifty years ago he was as-
sociated with C. T. Gerberich in oper-
ating the old Hale mill. In 1874 he
quit the milling business and moved
to Houserville where he bought a
farm, continuing in the active man-
agement of the same until his retire-
ment a number of years ago. He was
a member of the Shiloh Lutheran
church and an exemplary citizen in
every way. ”
His wife, who before her marriage
was Miss Eliza Wagner, died eleven
years ago, but surviving him are
three daughters and a son, namely:
Mrs. George Tibbens and Mrs. James
Miller, of Bellefonte; Mrs. Clement
Dale, of Houserville, and Elmer
Scholl, in Akron, Ohio. He also
leaves two brothers, Thomas Scholl,
of Coburn, and James, of Farmers
Mills.
Funeral services were held in the
Lutheran church at Shiloh at ten
o'clock on Monday morning. Revs.
Stover and Brown officiated and bur-
ial was made in the Shilch cemetery.

RAYMOND.—Kathryn Raymond, a
daughter of the late Leonard and
Kathryn Rosenhoover Raymond, died
last Saturday at the home of her
grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert
Rosenhoover, on south Water street,
of cardiac dropsy. The child was 9
years, 3 months and 8 days old and
was born in Clearfield. Her father
died when she was quite young and
since then she had made her home
with her grandparents Raymond, in
Clearfield. Last fall she had a ser-
ious attack of the flu and though she
partially recovered the ailment which
caused her death is believed to be
traceable to that illness. She was
brought to Bellefonte six weeks ago
in the hope that the change would
prove beneficial, but such did not
prove to be the case. Surviving her
are her mother, living in Bellefonte,
and one sister, Mary. Funeral serv-
ices were held in St. John’s Catholic
church at ten o'clock on Monday
morning by Rev. Father Downes,
after which burial was made in the
Catholic cemetery.

GROVE.—Following a long illness
with sarcoma Mrs. W. M. Grove pass-
ed away at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. M. P. Cummings, at Reidsville,
N. C., on June 7th. The Grove fami-
ly had been residents of Spring Mills
a number of years but early in the
spring moved to Columbia county. A
month or more ago Mr. Grove toek his
wife south in the hope that the change
in climate would prove beneficial, but
she grew worse rapidly and passed
away at the time above stated.
She was fifty-eight years ofl and is
survived by her husband and two
daughters, Mrs. M. P. Cummings, of
Reidsville, N. C., and Mrs. A. W. Zet-
tle, of near Bloomsburg. She also
leaves one brother and a sister, Wil-
liam Sweetwood, in California, and
Miss Cora Sweetwood, in Connecti-
cut. The remains were brought north
and taken to Bloomsburg where fun-
eral services were held on Monday
afterneon of last week, burial being
made in the Union cemetery at that
place.

DEWEY.—Miss Elizabeth Dewey,
who lived along the mountain above
Jacksonville, was found dead in the
!
| yard of her home on Tuesday morn- |
ing by a neighbor’s child. Death was |
| evidently due to apoplexy. She was
| about 75 years old and the last sur-.
viving member of the family of John |
and Hannah Dewey. Burial was made
at Zion yesterday afternoon. |
i
IRVIN.—William P. Irvin, for al- |
most fifty years a resident of Pleas- |
ant Gap, dropped dead on the road in |
front of Noll’s store about 8:15 o’clock |
| yesterday morning. He had been
complaining about not feeling very
well the past few days but was out
| and around the town. Wednesday
evening his youngest son returned
home after a year’s service in France
and some think the joy of having his
boy come home safe and well so over-
came the father that he died of joy,
though the physician avers his death
was evidently a stroke of apoplexy.
Mr. Irvin was 68 years old and lo-
cated at Pleasant Gap over forty-five
years ago. He was a highly respect-
ed citizen and had many warm
friends who regret his death. Dur-
ing the past ten years he had worked
for the Whiterock quarries and was a
