Presbytery Approves Call for Rev.
Brown.
An adjourned meeting of the Hunt-
ngdon Presbytery was held in the
First church, Tyrone, on Monday and
among the business disposed of was
a call from the Buffalo Run church
for Rev. S. R. Brown, promising him
$200 per year for approximately one-
third of his time with a minimum of
two Sabbath’s services a month in
regular monthly payments, and a
month’s vacation, it being understood
that Presbytery will through its Pres-
byterial and Home Missions commit-
tee this year contribute to the sup-
port, and that it will continue to con-
tribute as long a time and such
amounts as it may be persuaded the
field may need, was read and found
in order.
The call from Buffalo Run congre-
gations and the calls from the con-
gregations of Milesburg and Moshan-
non and Snow Shoe congregations,
which were found in order at the last
meeting of Presbytery were placed in
the hands of Rev. S. R. Brown and
accepted and the following arrange-
ments were made for his installation:
Moshannon and Snow Shoe at 7:30
p. m., February 2nd, 1920, at Snow
Shoe; Rev. R. P. Miller is to preside
and charge the people. Rev. C. W.
Maus is to preach the sermon and
Rev. Jon T. Scott, Ph. D., is to charge
the pastor. He will be installed at
Buffalo Run at 2:30 o'clock, Febru-
ary 3rd, 1920, Rev. H. P. Miller pre-
siding and to charge the people. Rev.

_order and arrangements made for his
official installation on January 30th.
Scholarships for Ex-Soldiers.
An announcement of considerable
interest to the soldiers, sailors and
‘marines who participated in the re-
cent world war, has been made by the
national Y. M. C. A. to the effect that
$2,000,000 has been appropriated by
it for a continuation of the education-
al work carried on by the association
in France. A certain portion of this
fund has been allotted to Centre
county which may be taken advantage
of by any soldier, sailor or marine, or
the child of any deceased soldier, sail-
or or marine.
Scholarships in any course will be
awarded discharged service men and
are offered with no restrictions other |
“than the man’s ability to carry
through the educational program for
which he applies. A short term agri-
cultural course will begin at The
Pennsylvania State College March
first, and a number of scholarships
will be awarded to those eligible.
Any one interested should write for
further information to the secretary
"of the Education Service committee,
at Bellefonte, Pa., from whom appli-
cations may be secured. Due to the
fact, however, that the funds are lim-
ited, if the applications are in excess
of the funds, those deemed most
worthy will be given first considera-
tion. This matter should be acted up-
on promptly by any applicant, as the
time is very short.

Young Man Scalded to Death.
Thomas Wagner, aged seventeen
years, was the unfortunate victim of
a peculiar accident on Monday of this
week. He was employed as engineer
at the Kline saw mill on the south side
‘of Tussey mountain, opposite Pine
Grove Mills, and at noon that day was
in the act of adjusting one of the pet-
cocks on the engine boiler when the
petcock blew out and he was literally
scalded from head to feet. He suffer-
ed terrible agonies until Wednesday
morning when he died. The remains
were sent to his home in Snyder coun-
ty for burial.

JOSEPH L. MONTGOMERY.
Bellefonte has had many men in re-
cent years who had gained great
prominence in professional or politic-
al circles and their deaths were re-
garded as distinct losses to the com-
‘munity. In the passing of Joseph L.
Montgomery we have had another
such loss. His death shocks the bus-
iness fabric of Bellefonte as few oth-
ers who have preceded him have done,
for in this gracious, democratic, un-
ostentatious man’s life is to be seen a
record of achievement that is scarce-
ly paralleled in the business annals of
our town. Little past the meridian of
life he had, single handed, worked his
way to a position any one might have
| envied. It might be truthfully said
that personal industry and probity
were his only assets as a boy, but
with these he builded well and the
thought that he was not permitted to
enjoy the real fruits of his incessant
toil adds more to the sorrows that his
going have occasioned.
The “Watchman” last week told of
Mr. Montgomery’s having been taken
sick on the train Wednesday night be-
tween Williamsport and Sunbury, tak-
en from the train at the latter place
and conveyed to the Mary Packer hos-
pital. Local physicians there diag-
nosed his ailment as acute indigestion,
influenced probably in their decision
by the fact that Mr. Montgomery
had on one or two previous occasions
suffered with indigestion. As soon as
Mrs. Montgomery reached his bedside
on Thursday morning she telephoned
for Dr. Louis Brinton, analytical
specialist at the University of Penn-
sylvania, who had been Mr. Montgom-
ery’s diagnostician on former occa-
sions, and also called to the aid of the
other physicians Dr. Reese, the emi-
nent surgeon of the Miner's hospital
at Shamokin. It was latg Thurs-
day evening when both physicians ar-
rived and they quickly recognized the
trouble as being an acute attack of
appendicitis but the condition of the
patient was then so critical as to be
beyond all hope and no operation was
performed. Though suffering intense-
ly Mr. Montgomery was conscious to
the last and he fully realized the
hopelessness of his condition. True
to type he faced the inevitable fear-
lessly and bade his wife and son Gor-
don, who were at his bedside, good-
bye as hopefully as if he were lying
down to pleasant dreams.
Joseph Lingle Montgomery was a
son of Wendell Whiteman and Catha-
rine Lingle Montgomery and was born
in Bellefonte on August 13th, 1866,
hence was 53 years, 4 months and 27
days old. His only schooling he re-
ceived during his boyhood days, as he
quit school when but eleven years old
and ‘sold papers on the streets of
Bellefonté. But his active boyhood
‘mind yearned for bigger things and
his next job was that of a clerk in the
old. Valentine store, a job he got sim-
ply because he would not be turned
down. ‘From the Valentine store he
went to the old Lingle foundry and
machine shops where he did most of
the book-keeping. His next change
was from Bellefonte to Howard where
he became bookkeeper for the old
Lauth Iron company. It was at How-
ard that he first met George C. Waite
and an acquaintance and friendship
sprang up between the two men that
never waned and it was through Mr,
Montgomery that Mr. Waite and fam-
ily came to Bellefonte.
Mr. Montgomery’s next venture
was the Bellefonte agency for the At-
lantic Refining company, which was
then just starting in business, and his
supply .depot was down at the old
glass works. When the company de-
cided to extend the Bellefonte agency
to both a wholesale and retail depot
the late Thomas A. Shoemaker, who
at the time was doing a retail coal
business in Bellefonte, suggested to
Mr. Montgomery that they go in part-
nership and conduct both a coal and
oil business. Mr. Montgomery was
willing - enough but to do so he not
only needed a bondsman but five hun-
dred dollars in cash. Several friends
were approached in the matter but
each and all had some excuse until
finally James H. Potter volunteered
his aid and not only loaned Mr. Mont-
gomery the needful amount of money
but went with him to Williamsport
and went on his bond with the Atlan-
tic Refining company. Under the
firm name of the Bellefonte Fuel &
Supply Co. the new company opened
up in the yard in the rear of the Bush
house which has been conducted un-
der the same name ever since. But
the company did not remain intact. It
was only a few years until Mr. Shoe-
maker withdrew and Col. Reynolds
took over his interest and to this day
the Bellefonte Fuel & Supply Co. has
been conducted jointly by Mr. Mont-
gomery and Col. Reynolds.
In the summer of 1899, Samuel H.
Donachy came to Bellefonte from
Hanover, Pa. He had worked in var-
ous match factories and finally had in-
vented and perfected what he believ-
ed the best match-making machine on
the market at that time. His sole
purpose in coming to Bellefonte was
to interest capital for the purpose of
starting a match factory in which his
machines were to be used. The
scheme at once appealed to P. B. Cri-
der and F. W. Crider and they final-
ly succeeded in interesting Col. Rey-
nolds who agreed to go into the com-
pany on condition Mr. Montgomery
be admitted as a partner and be made
superintendent of the plant. This was
the beginning of the Pennsylvania
Match company, a plant today that
has a physical valuation of over a
million dollars, and which proved to
be Mr. Montgomery's big life work.
Much of what it is today is due to his
untiring energy, his unswerving in-
tegrity and his tact in handling the
many difficult and intricate questions
|
that came up daily, not alone in the |
conduct of the Bellefonte plant, but |
in its relationship with other inde- |
pendent companies and finally with |
what is known as the big trust, the!
Diamond Match company. In all his
dealings with the collaborated inter- |
ests he was so decisively fair and im-
partial that he has for some time past :
been recognized as one of the biggest |
the country.
While his business demanded a|
great deal of his time and attention
he never permitted it to become so all-
engrossing as to dull his interest in
good of Bellefonte or its citizens. He
was closely allied with the Bellefonte
Board of Trade, both as an officer and
active working member ever since its
organization, and was only recently
elected its president. He was a life-
long member of St. John’s Episcopal
church and a vestrymah for many
years. He was one of the original
members of the Bellefonte hospital
association and a member of the
board of managers. He was a trus-
tee of the Bellefonte Academy, a
member of the Masonic fraternity,
any public movement that was for the :
i church from girlhood and was vitally
the Bellefonte Lodge of Elks, the
Heptasophs, Nittany Country club
and Bellefonte club. .
Personally and socially he was the
kind of man who always won the con- |
fidence and respect of both man and
woman. Always gentlemanly and
courteous, with a winning smile and
most affable manner, he was easily
approached and never too busy to give
an audience to any one seeking his |
aid or sympathy in any movement or
undertaking. In his home he not only
was a courteous host but a devoted
husband and father, whose supreme |
delight was in ministering to the!
wants and comforts of his family. i
Mr. Montgomery was united in
marriage to Miss Elizabeth Muffy, |
who survives with two sons, Gordon, |
who has lately been attending the
Pierce Business College, Philadelphia,
and John Wendell, a student at the
Tome Institute, Port Deposit, Md.
He also leaves two sisters and one
brother, Mrs. C. J. McHugh, of Pitts-
burgh; Miss Emma, who has lately
been staying with her sister, Mrs.
McHugh, and J. Fred Montgomery, of
Cambridge, Mass.
Funeral. services were held in St.
John’s Episcopal church at three
o’clock on Monday afternoon, in the
presence of a large crowd of neigh-
bors and friends. The very simplicity
of the beautiful Episcopal service
made the final leavetaking very im-
pressive.
Among those from a distance here
for the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. C.
‘of Walkertown, Ontario; Philip,
J. McHugh and their four sons, John, |
Joseph Montgomery, Frederick ‘and
Gardner, and Miss Emma Montgom- |
ery, of Pittsburgh; J. Fred Montgom:- |

MANN.—It is with sincere regret
that the “Watchman” announces the
sudden and untimely death of Mrs.
Harry T. Mann, of Milesburg, which
occurred in the Lock Haven hospital
at 11:30 o’clock on Wednesday night.
Her maiden name was Maude Glenn
Budinger, a daughter of Thomas B.
and Alice Leathers Budinger, of Snow
Shoe, where she was born thirty-two
men in the match making industry in | years ago. All her girlhood life was
| spent there until her marriage to Mr.
Mann about eleven years ago. They
went to housekeeping at Orviston
where they lived until four years ago
when they moved to Milesburg. Mrs.
Mann was a member of the Methodist
interested in the Red Cross organiza-
tion, the suffrage movement and every
activity that was for the good of the
community in which she lived and for
the advancement of the cause of wom-
en generally. Whatever she under-
took to do was done with a vitalizing
force and character that could not fail
in bringing the desired result. In her
death the church and the various or-
ganizations with which she was asso-
ciated lose one. of their most enthu-
siastic and efficient workers.
Surviving her are her husband and
three small daughters, Maude Eliza-
beth, Louise and Edith. She also
leaves her parents, who are now win-
tering in Flordia, and the following
brothers and sisters: Mrs. John S.
Seeds, of Altoona; Miss Blanche, in
: New York city; W. S. and Arthur B.
Budinger, of Snow Shoe; Mrs. Robert
Vorhis, of Johnstown; Mrs. Ellis Har-
vey, of Orviston; J. Thomas Budinger,
of
Snow Shoe; Miss Sarah, of Washing-
ton; Helen, in New York city, and
Carl, with his parents in Florida.
No arrangements for the funeral
will be made until all the members of
the family can be communicated with.
i il
TREASTER.—William Treaster, a
veteran of the Civil war, died last
Saturday at the home of his step-sis-
ter, Mrs. John Clark, on Willowbank
street, aged 81 years. Last Au-
gust Mr. Treaster got a bad fall injur-
ing his head and rupturing an artery
and ever since he had been confined
to bed. His death was the result of
the above injury. Mr. Treaster was
born at Lamar, Clinton county, and
resided there until a few years ago
when he came to Bellefonte and had
since made his home with his step-
sister. Burial was made in the Union
cemetery on Tuesday afternoon.

Annual Meeting of Farmers’ Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.
The annual meeting of the Farmers’
Mutual Fire Insurance company of
Centre county was held in Bellefonte
on.Monday. A few policy holders
were present and after the reading
and approval of the minutes of the
‘last ‘meeting an election’ board was
sworn in by ex-prothonotary D. R.
Foreman. The following men were
then named for the board of direc-
tors:
Col. W. F. Reynolds, George Mitch-
ell, E. M. Huyett, Frank McFarlane,
Z. D. Thomas, ‘Robert Reed, J. H.
Beck, G. Perry Gentzel, J. R. Brun-
gart, Frank M. Fisher, J. Milo Camp-
bell and James M. Harter. Mr. Har-
! ter will take the place of Henry Duck,
| deceased, and Mr. Brungart that of
George B. Haines, removed to Phila-
‘delphia. . The old secretary and treas-
urer made their final report showing
the board to be in good financial con-
dition and all losses to date fully
paid. About nine thousand dollars in
losses were paid during the past year.
The new board organized by elect-
ing Col. Reynolds, president; George
Mitchell, vice president; Frank M.
‘Fisher, secretary, and J. R. Brungart, |
treasurer. All the old agents'of the
board were retained and the new di-
rectors authorized to take care of the
insurance in their locality.
Under the present by-laws it is pro-
vided that the annual election take
place between the hours of 10 and 12
o'clock and a motion was made to
amend this section by making the
time from 10 to 2 o’clock. Final ac-
tion was postponed until the next
meeting.
During the past year the board has
lost three of its oldest and most re-
spected members, H. E. Duck, the for-
mer president, who died; John B.-Go-
heen, who resigned with the request
that Mr. Campbell be chosen to suc-
ceed him; and George B. Haines, who
moved to Philadelphia. These three
men never missed a meeting of the
board when it was at all possible for
them to be present.

Basket Ball.
Bellefonte High’s basket ball team
has been winning honors for their
school. Out of the last seven games
the boys won all but the first, which
was lost to Williamport. Last Friday
evening they defeated Lock Haven
High by the score of 36-25, and the
following evening (Saturday) they
defeated Lock Haven Normal by the
score of 31-19. This (Friday) even-
ing the local boys will meet the strong
Philipsburg High aggregation at the
armory, at 8 o'clock. This game will
be a fast one and as it is a game in
the Mountain High school basket ball
league series it will be of more inter-
est as Bellefonte High school stands
as a 1,000 team. After the game there
will be a dance in the armory for the
benefit of the High school Athletic
Association. The admission will be,
for game and dance,, 50 cents; for
Bellefonte High school students, 35
cents. For dance alone, 25 cents for
town people and 20 cents for students.
A local orchestra will furnish the mu-
sic. Be a sport and back up your lo-
cal High school.

Thrilling Experience of Pilot Paul W.
Smith.
Pilot Paul W. Smith, flying from
New York to Bellefonte on Monday
with six hundred pounds of mail, had
an unusually thrilling experience
when he was forced down by motor
trouble this side of Laurelton, smash-
ed his machine in landing in the
woods on top of the mountain above
Cherry Run and then had to walk
eight miles through the mountain
snows to reach the nearest habitation.
Fortunately he was not injured in the
crash of his plane, and in no way is
any the worse for his adventure.
Pilot Smith encountered his first
trouble after leaving New York when
in the neighborhood of Mifflinburg
when his oil pressure ran low and he
was forced to descend for a supply.
This was in the neighborhood of
twelve o'clock and while on the
ground he notified manager Kelly, at
the Bellefonte field, of his delay and
that he expected to be through in a
half hour. In the meantime pilot
Stevens left Bellefonte for New York
and after landing at Heller's field he
telegraphed Bellefonte that Smith
was still on the ground when he
messages to that place, however,
brought the information that Smith
had left there shortly after twelve
o'clock and all efforts to locate his
whereabouts proved unavailing until |
almost three o’clock when a call came
from Smith, himself, who stated that
he had not sailed far after leaving
Mifflinburg when his motor stopped
dead and all efforts to.get it started
proved unavailing. The only thing to
do was come down and the only place
in sight was the top of the mountain.
With a dead motor he had little time
in which to look for a landing place
and with the seemingly boundless
area of mountain and snow—even the
trees being covered with snow so that
they were almost indistinguishable—
he did the only wise thing, and that
was save himself, and while his land-
ing was effected through tree tops
and brush so that his plane finally
reached solid ground in a very much
wrecked condition, he very fortunate-
ly escaped without a scratch.
The forced landing was made at
12:30 o’clock and it was almost three
o’clock when Smith finally got out of
the mountain and. reached a .tele-
phone, when he promptly notified the
Bellefonte field as to what: had hap-
pened. Inasmuch as the forced land-
ing took place :on the top of the
mountain, eight miles from the near-
est habitation and a:long distance
away from any traveléd road, it was
impossible to get the mail out until
Tuesday. The wrecked machine will
be gotten out of the mountain just as
soon as possible. 77s
As an incident in’ the ‘coast to coast
aerial mail service it ‘might be men-
tioned that the first” mdil plane was
flown from Chicago 'to'Omaha last
Thursday, making the flight on prac-
tically scheduled time.’ = Se
On Tuesday pilots Stevers and Rob-
inson drove the first Martin bomber
on the western trip from New York
to Cleveland, Ohio. It was their in-
tention to go through, if possible, but
owing to the high wind against them
they were over three hours reaching
Bellefonte and were compelled to
come down here for both gas and oil.
They left Heller field with 316 gallons
of gas in their tanks and had just 40
gallons left when they reached Belle-
fonte. The big machine, which car-
ried 920 pounds of mail, was given a
complete look over here, restocked
with gas and oil and left here shortly
after one o’clock for Cleveland, but
did not reach there, as the pilots were
compelled to make a forced landing
at North Springfield, Ohio.

Engagement Announced.
Saturday’s Harrisburg Telegraph
contained the following item that will

“Mr. and Mrs. A. Carson Stamm,
333 South Thirteenth street, have an-
nounced the engagement of their

taborder, son of Mr.and Mrs. James
Kustaborder, of Shiloh, and Miss Ma-
ry Shuey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

young people are well known in the
valley and are now receiving the con-
gratulations of their many friends.
