ee "THOMPSON. — Robert William Thompson, a well known resident of Bellefonte, died at 9:40 o'clock last Friday evening at the home of his son Claude, in the Beaver and Hoy row, of cerebral hemorrhage, the result of a stroke of apoplexy sustained on Tues- day of last week. Mr. Thompson was born at Thomp- sontown, in Juniata county, on Febru- ary 28th, 1842, hence was 77 years, b months and 25 days old. His boyhood life was spent at the place of his birth until the Civil war when he enlisted and served with distinction through- out that struggle. Returning from the war he came to Centre county and located at Snow Shoe where he went to work for the Bellefonte and Snow Shoe railroad company. For a num- ber of years he was a fireman on that road but later moved to Bellefonte and ran the engine at the old Valen- tine furnace. He worked as a station- ary engineer for the late Thomas A. Shoemaker when he widened the Gal- litzin tunnel on the Pennsylvania rail- road. When the old Centre Iron com- pany took charge of the Valentine furnace he again worked there as an engineer and from there went with the American Lime & Stone company where he worked until his retirement about twelve years ago. For many years Mr. Thompson occupied his own home aleng the back road between Bellefonte and the old nail works but it was burned to the ground in the dis- astrous fire of several years ago which destroyed eighty thousand dollars’ worth of lumber for the Pennsylvania Match company. With the destruc- tion of his home went all his private papers and family data. In 1863 he was united in marriage to Mary Jane Temple who died in March, 1914, but surviving him are six children, namely: Harry and Claude, of Bellefonte; John F., of West Brownsville, Pa.; Mrs. John Fulkrod, of Elmira, N. Y.; Joseph and Homer, of Bellefonte. He was the last member of his father’s family. Funeral services were held at the Claude hompson home at 2:30 o’clock on Monday afternoon by Rev. Alex- ander Scott, of the Methodist church, and burial was made in the Union cemetery. n I OSMER.—Mrs. Arminta Osmer, wife of Charles Osmer, died very sud- denly on “Friday afternoon’ after a very brief illness as the result of a general breakdown. She attended to her daily work as usual until the day previous to her death when she. was taken violently ill'and passed away at the time above stated. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Wian and was born in Bellefonte on October 12th, 1863, hence had reached the age of 55 years, 10 months and 10 days. Her entire life was spent in Bellefonte. She was a member of the Methodist church for many years. In addition to her hus- band she is survived by the following children: © Mrs. Boyd Spicher, of Pleasant Gap; Mrs. T. M. Fink and Mrs. J. T. Caldwell, of Bellefonte; Elizabeth, Edward and Ella at home. She also leaves these brothers and sisters: Mrs. D. M. Kerlin, of Rudd, Iowa; Lewis Wian, Mrs. Jacob Knise- ly, Mrs. George Mallory and Mrs. George Hughes, of Bellefonte; Mrs. McClellan Fulton, of Tyrone, and William Wian, of Johnstown. Funeral services were held at her late home at two o’clock on Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Alexander Scott, of the Methodist church, after which burial was made in the Union ceme- tery. I! 1 VONADA.—Mrs. Eva Corman Vo- nada, wife of Paul Vonada, of Zion, died at the Bellefonte hospital last Friday following an operation. She was a daughter of William and Cali- sea Corman and was born in Marion township, being at her death 30 years, 10 months and 2 days old. She was married to Mr. Vonada nine years ago and he survives with two sons, Krider and Harold. She also leaves her mother, living in Bellefonte, and the following brothers and sisters: Har- ry, Otto and Earl Corman, of Belle- fonte; Mrs. Harvey Truckenmiller, of Spring township, and Mrs. Clement Harter, of Union township. Mrs. Vo- ' nada was a member of the Reformed church and Rev. Charles H. Faust, of Hublersburg, had charge of the funer- al services which were held on Mon- day afternoon, being assisted by Dr. A. M. Schmidt, of Bellefonte. Burial was made in the Zion cemetery. il Il BLAIR. — Mrs. Nancy Margaret Blair died at ten o’clock on Wednes- day mornng of last week at the home of her son-in-law, Mr. Aaron Tressler, at Baileyville, following a long illness with valvular heart trouble. She was a daughter of William P. and Sarah Ray and was born at State College on January 28rd, 1851, hence was aged 68 years, 6 months and 27 days. Her only survivor is her daughter, Mrs. Tressler. Funeral services were held at the Tressler home at ten o’clock last Saturday morning by Rev. R. M. Campbell, after which burial was made in the Pine Hall cemetery. Jl Il WASSON.—Mrs. Mary A. Wasson, a native ~ of Centre county, died on Monday at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Hostetter, in Altoona, of disease incident to her advanced age. She was born on November 11th, 1843, hence was in her seventy-fifth year. She was married to Robert Wasson, whe died fifty-two years ago. Her only survivor is her daughter, Mrs. Hostetter. Burial was made in Oak Ridge cemetery, Altoona, on Wednesday afternoon. Hi | BURD.—Elijah Burd, a former resident of Millheim, died on Wednes- day at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Laura Brandt, in Altoona, as the re- sult of a stroke of paralysis sustain- ed several years ago.

The remains will likely be taken to Aaronsburg for burial. — Howard Welcomes the Returned Sol- dier Boys. The welcome home celebration at Howard on Saturday was ideal. The weather, the parade, the refresh- ments, the amusements were all that the most critical could have demand- ed and reflected great credit on the various committees in charge. The town was well decorated, both as to the streets and public and pri- vate buildings and the glorious weather served to bring a’'great crowd together to do honor to the boys of the lower Bald Eagle who have re- turned from service. The program was carried out exactly as published in the “Watchman” last week with the one exception that burgess Fred Leathers did not preside at the public meeting so that Judge Quigley, after introducing himself, acted as master of ceremonies. The dinner was served on the school house grounds by the ladies of the town and was a “regular” dinner, hot from the griddle on real china plates and with silver cutlery. Chicken, noodles, vegetables, jellies, ice cream, cake and all the good things that man craves were there in abundance and so appetizingly served as to make it really a wonderful culinary feat when it is known that one hundred and sev- enty-five persons were served. The Howard band furnished the music until the arrival of the Middle division P. R. R. band from Altoona, in the afternoon, when that splendid organization kept music in the air un- til late at night. The local band boys held a festival on the school grounds in the evening and the way the money rolled in leads us to believe that their credit in How- ard will be even better than it ever was down there and that means a lot for the Howard band made good on obligations not long ago that nobody expected to realize anything from. They are resourceful fellows, though, for*who ever would have thought of that ducking-duck game that proba- bly paid for as many ducks as the Bald Eagle would float and proved an entertainment in itself that repaid us for our trip to the capital of Howard township. ree or mn Radio Station Not Definitely Located as Yet. The radio station on that is to be built in connection with the mail aviation field in this place has not yet been definitely located, but every indication points to the fact that when it is it will be as near the field and the other buildings as it is possible to put it. According to the latest information at hand all idea of locating it any- where else,but in Bellefonte has been abandoned, and an expert is expect- ed here most any day now to definite- Aside ‘from radio plants the Post- office Department is now experiment- ing with alcohol fuel for use in air- planes instead of gasoline and the same is being used in various test flights. It is alleged that 20 gallons of the new fuel will carry a plane as far as 25 gallons of gasoline will and will not corrode the spark-plugs and cylinders with carbon, thus reducing one of the necessities for forced land- ings. If the new fuel proves a suc- cess longer non-stop flights ean be made than is now possible with gaso- line. Ce re Arrested for Conveying Accused Brother-in-Law. Quakertown, Pa., Aug. 21.—Al- leged to be an accessory aiter the fact in the murder of constable John P. Weitzel last June, who was shot and killed by Harry J. Adams, in the county jail at Doylestown awaiting tri- al, John Feaster, farmer, residing near Zion Hill, a brother-in-law of Adams, was arrested by police chief Rhodes today and given a hearing before Justice Funk, who released him under bail for the next term of court. It is alleged Feaster aided Adams in getting away from the scene by taking him along on his wag- on. Adams was arrested in the com- pany of Feaster shortly after the shooting. Mr. Feaster lived in Bellefonte thirty years ago and was employed at the nail works, having charge of what was known as the big shears. He will be well remembered by a number of people here who knew him intimately at that time. After moving to Bucks county he engaged i in farming and the probability is the trouble he has got- ton into now was more through thoughtlessness than any criminal in- tention on his part to frustrate the designs of the law. A Salty Sentence for a Grave Offense. Clark Swisher, er, of Julian, who was arrested last week for stopping a freight train by turning the valve of the air brake was taken before Judge Quigley on Friday morning and sen- tenced to pay a fine of $1,000 and serve five years in the penitentiary. The young man on August 10th had been down Bald Eagle valley spend- ing the evening with a lady friend. He jumped a freight to ride to his home at Julian and when the train neared that station he turned the to Vulcan Trading Co., With the Churches of the County.
