ARNOLD.—It was with feelings of
deep regret that residents of Belle-
fonte learned on Sunday evening of
the death of Mrs. Anna Lyon Arnold,
wife of Capt. C. L. Arnold, at her
home in New York at four o’clock that
afternoon. Her passing away was
very sudden and unexpected, notwith-
standing the fact that she had not en-
joyed good health since suffering an
attack of the flu a little over, a year
ago. Last Friday she was feeling
worse than usual and in response to a
telegram her sister, Mrs. Betty Orvis
Harvey went down to New York to be
with’ her. Sunday morning, however,
she got up feeling unusually good but
a short time later fell unconscious to
the floor and never rallied, passing
away at four o’clock in the afternoon.
Mrs. Arnold was the eldest daugh-
ter of ex-Judge Ellis L. and Mary Ly-
on Orvis and was born in Bellefonte
on February 5th, 1886, hence was in
her thirty-fifth year. Her girlhood
life was spent in Bellefonte and her
education was received at the Belle-
fonte Academy and the Moravian
school at Lititz. On October 16th,
1907, she married Lieut. C. L. Arnold,
and in the thirteen years of her mar-
ried life lived in Quincy, Mass.; in
China, on the Puget. Sound in the
State of Washington, going to New
York at the outbreak of the war with
Germany when her husband was put
in charge of a government transport.
She is survived by her husband, her
parents and one sister, Mrs. Betty
Harvey. The remains were brought
to Bellefonte on Tuesday morning and
taken to the home of her parents on
east Linn street where private funeral
services were held at 10:30 o’clock on
‘Wednesday morning by Rev. M. De-
Pue Maynard, of the Episcopal
church, after which private interment
was made in the Union cemetery.

no complaint about feeling ill on
Tuesday night and on Wednesday
morning when she failed to get up
Mrs. Undercoffer tried to rouse her
but failing to do so called in Dr. Kirk,

closed the fact that Mrs. Smith had
passed away, and had evidently been
dead several hours.

age and was a daughter of Philip and

try from England. Her husband died

ship Couple.
On Thanksgiving day, 1870, Jacob
William Sunday, of Potter township,
and Miss Susan Guramo, of Curtin,
were married at Milesburg by Rev.
Cleaver, and on Thanksgiving day last
week they celebrated their golden
. wedding anniversary at their comfort-
able home in Pine Grove Mills. In ad-
dition to the members of their family
a goodly number of friends and neigh-
bors were guests at the festive occa-
sion. Those invited gathered at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. McWil-
liams and at eleven o’clock marched
in a body to the Sunday home, his
comrades in arms during the Civil
war being the honor guests.
Dinner was served at 12:30 and it
was a most elaborate and delicious
feast. The centre piece on the table
was a large wedding cake baked by
one of the daughters, Mrs. Lizzie Mec-
Williams, and which bore the inscrip-
tion, “50th anniversary, 1870-1920.”
At the conclusion of the feast Rev. Ira
E. Fisher extended the congratula-
tions of the guests to the happy
couple and expressed the wish that
both might be spared to celebrate
their diamond anniversary.
A very pleasant incident in connec-
tion with the celebration was the pres-
ence of the aged couple’s grandson,
Walter Sager and bride, who had just
returned from Cumberland, Md,
where they had been married on Tues-
day.
Mr. Sunday, by the way, was a son
of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Sunday, early
settlers of Potter township, and was
born near Tusseyville about seventy-
five years ago. As a youth he learn-
ed the plastering trade but when the
call came for soldiers in the Civil war
he laid aside his trowel and in August,
1862, enlisted as a member of Com-
pany G, 148th regiment, General Bea-
ver’s old command. He was wounded
at the battle of Cold Harbor on Jan-
uary 3rd, 1864. After he recovered
he was given an honorable discharge
and returned home and resumed his
work as a plasterer which he contin-
ued until his marriage to Miss Gum-
mo. The latter was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. James Gummo, her father
also serving in the Civil war. He was
drowned after receiving his discharge.
In 1871 Mr. and Mrs. Sunday en-
gaged in farming on Fairbrook, where
they lived until their retirement in
1910, when they moved to Pine Grove
Mills. Their union was blessed with
six daughters and one son, and those
living are Mrs. J. E. McWilliams, of
Pine Grove Mills; Mrs. George Bell,
of Spruce Creek; Mrs. Harry Sager,
of Windber; Harry Sunday, of Fair-
brook, and Miss Ida, at home. They
have seventeen grandchildren.

home on Willowbank street, Belle-
fonte. As a further compliment to

sonage of the United Brethren church
by the pastor, Rev. George E. Smith.

m. train the same afternoon, return-
ing home on Monday evening. The

Broadway, N. Y., by Rev. Abner S.
DeChant. The bride is the widow of
the late R. A. Beck, of Bellefonte, and
spent a number of years in Bellefonte.
She and her husband will reside in
Hanover until next summer, after the
graduation of her daughter Mary,
after which they will take up their
residence in Brooklyn.
Catherman — Hackenberg. — The
home of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hacken-
berg, of Rebersburg, was the scene of
a pretty wedding last Thursday even-
ing when their daughter, Miss Gladys
Hackenberg, was united in marriage
to Rev. C. F. Catherman, of Spring
Mills. Over fifty guests were present
to witness the ceremony which was
performed by Rev. Dr. Williams, of
Chicago.
Maxwell—Kerstetter.—James Max-
well and Miss Margaret Kerstetter,
both of Curwensville, were married at
that place on Thanksgiving day by

merly of Bellefonte, and is well
known here. The young couple will
live at Pittsburgh.

Killed on the Railroad.
J. Budd Cowher, a native of Worth
township, this county, was struck by a
train and instantly killed near Altoo-
na en Saturday morning. Cowher
lived in Juniata and worked as a yard
brakeman. He was on his way to
work and probably became confused,
was struck by train No. 95 and hurl-
ed some distance. His skull was frac-
tured and legs and body crushed, so
that death was evidently instantane-
ous. He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Ja-
cob Cowher and was born in Worth
township in 1879, hence was forty-one
years old.
He had been in the employ of the
railroad company a number of years,
first as a timekeeper, then in a cleric-
al position and since October 19th as
a brakeman. He never married but is
survived by his father and several
brothers and sisters. The remains
were taken to his old home in Worth
township and burial made in Black
Oak cemetery.
Killed on Railroad Crossing.
Harvey E. Bartholomew, a well
known citizen of Lewisburg, was killed
on Thursday on what is known as
Mensch’s crossing on the Lewisburg
branch of the Pennsylvania railroad,
about a mile west of Mifflinburg, when
his automobile was hit by passenger
train east. Engineer Theodore Cher-
ry, of Bellefonte, was at the throttle
when the accident occurred. There is
an unobstructed view of the railroad
at the point where the accident occur-
red and the only explanation is that
Mr. Bartholomew evidently believed
that he could beat the train over the
crossing, but the locomotive struck
the rear-end of his car, completely
wrecking it. Mr. Bartholomew was
thrown quite a distance and killed in-
stantly. Engineer Cherry and the
train crew were exonerated of all
blame for the accident.

Doll Post No. 33, American Legion,

State Forestry Newslets.
District Forester F. H. Dutlinger,
of Renovo, has constructed a tele-
phone line on the Snow Shoe division
of the Sproul state forest in Centre
county. The new line gives him direct
service with the forest ranger at the
head of the west branch of Big Run,
sixteen miles from Renovo.
According to District Forester Mor-
ton, of the Logan state forest, the
heaviest and most damaging snow and
ice storm in recent years occurred last
week on the Bear Meadows division.
The roads were blocked by fallen and
broken trees and the forester’s depart-
ment’s entire telephone system
through the forest was wrecked. Poles
were broken down and the wires sev-
ered in scores of places.
Forester Morton expects that more
deer hunters will be in his district this
season than ever before. Many
sportsmen went to their permanent
camps late last week in preparation
for the season’s opening.
When the members of the Metz
camp went to their cabin at the foot
of Tussey mountain, near Barree, they
found it had been dynamited. One end
of the stone structure had been com-
pletely demolished by the explosion.
The damaged portion has been rebuilt,
and the club members have offered a
reward of $150.00 for information that
will lead to the arrest and conviction
of the guilty persons.

Penn State Plans Big Commencement
Changes.
State College, Pa., Dec. 2—A per-
manent change in the annual com-
mencement week program at The
Pennsylvania State College whereby
the alumni reunion day will fall on
Saturday instead of on a Tuesday as
has always been customary, is being
considered by college officials and will
doubtless be approved within a few
days. The idea originated with mem-
bers of the alumni association who
feel that more former students will be
able to return for their class reunions
on a week-end rather than take sev-
eral days away from their business ac-
tivities at the beginning of the week.
According to a program that has
been proposed, college will close as
usual on Friday of the second week
in June, commencement activities be-
ginning that evening. Special alumni
features will be held on Saturday, the
Baccalaureate to the graduates fol-
lowing on the next day. The Seniors
will hold their class day exercises on
Monday, and be graduated on Tues-
day. Graduation exercises in the past
have always been held on Wednesday,
so that the new plan will cut one day
from the usual six day celebration.
The faculty administrative board now
has the matter under consideration,
and it is expected to be approved.

Money and Credit.
The unsettlement of foreign ex-
change has bred a considerable con-
tempt for foreign currency in the
minds of certain Americans. The
American father of one Yank who had
stayed in France to “clean things up”
had established a generous line of
credit for him. Friend Son began to
hit things up rather hard, and in con-
sequence the father received a cable-
gram reading: “Your son’s account
already overdrawn one hundred thous-
and.”
To which he cabled back to the
bankers:
“If you mean dollars, send him
home; if you mean pounds, tell him to
be careful; if you mean those funny
little things, let him have all he
wants.”—American Legion Weekly.
