Jury List for September Court.
Jury Commissioners Joseph Emer-
ick and John D. Decker last Friday
drew the jury for the September term
of court which will be held the week
beginning September 26th. A glance
at the list will show that five women
have been drawn as grana jurors and
five as traverse jurors. A panel of
sixty names has been drawn as trav-
erse jurors, owing to the fact that the
criminal list for September court is
an unusually large one, including one
murder case. The complete list is as
follows:

How About 1922 Chautauqua?
Two weeks ago it was announced
that the committee in charge of secur-
ing guarantors for 1922 Chautauqua
were meeting with only partial suc-
cess in getting the required one hun-
dred signatures. Through the kind-
ness of Mr. William E. Thompson, the
superintendent, the time for securing
signatures to the contract has been
extended to the first week in Septem-
br. Sixty-six names are now attach-
ed to the contract, leaving thirty-four
or more yet to be secured.
Folks of Bellefonte and vicinity, do
you realize what Chautauqua means
to you, your young folks and your
town? Splendid music, clean enter-
tainments, educational uplifting lec-
tures, all at a low cost, twelve sessions
for $3.00 next year. From two to four
hundred “youngsters,” the future men
and women of our community attend-
ed this year. They want Chautauqua
back next year, too.
The committee will have no further
chance to solicit your name, but if you
desire to sign the contract kindly see
any of the following committee during
the coming week.

KERSTETTER.—George W. Ker-
stetter, for many years a passenger
conductor on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, running between Harrisburg and
Renovo, died at his home in Harris-
burg last Thursday afternoon follow-
ing an illness which dates back almost
a year. In fact he made his final run
on December 28th, 1920. He was a
native of Lewisburg and was fifty-
seven years old, being the last surviv-
ing member of his father’s faminly.
As a young man he went to work
for the Pennsylvania Railroad com-
pany and when the Lewisburg and Ty-
rone railroad was put in operation in
1885 between Montandon and Belle-
fonte he was the first baggage master
on the road. He later was promoted
to conductor and finally twenty-two
years ago was transferred to the Phil-
adelphia and Erie division with head-
quarters in Harrisburg.
In 1893 he married Miss Olive S.
Tripple, second daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. W. S. Tripple, of Bellefonte, who
survives with two children, Miss Ruth
and Walton, both at home. He was a
member of the Order of Railway Con-
ductors and the P. R. R. Relief asso-
ciation. The remains were brought to
Bellefonte on the 3:10 train Sunday
afternoon and taken to the home of
Mr. and Mrs. Harry C. Yeager, on
north Spring street, where funeral
services were held at 10:30 o’clock on
Monday morning by Rev. Wilson P.
Ard, of the Lutheran church, after
which burial was made in the Union
cemetery. Delegations of the Railway
Conductors and Relief association at-
tended the funeral.

CONNER.—Dr. Benjamin C. Con-
ner, president of Dickinson Seminary,
at Williamsport, died at the Williams-
port hospital last Thursday night, fol-
lowing an operation two weeks pre-
vious for the amputation of one of his
legs. He had been ill five weeks. Dr.
Conner was seventy-two years old.
He received his preparatory education
at Dickinson Seminary and then took
a course at Wesleyan College, gradu-
ating in 1876. The following two
years he spent as a member of the fac-
ulty at Dickinson Seminary then en-
tered the active ministry. He filled
appointments at Jamestown, Sinnema-
honing, Williamsport, Harrisburg,
York, Bloomsburg and Altoona, and
was superintendent of the Altoona and
Danville districts. Largely through
his efforts contributions were secur-
ed to build churches at Bloomsburg,
First church, Altoona, and State Col-
lege.
When Dr. William Perry Eveland
was elected a Bishop in 1912 and sent
to the Philippines, Dr. Conner was
elected president of Dickinson Semi-
nary. During his nine years’ service
in that capacity an endowment fund
for the Seminary of several hundred
thousand dollars was secured and the
entire property much improved. Dr.
Conner’s wife died a year ago but sur-
viving him are three daughters. Fun-
eral «#ervices were held in the Semi-
nary chapel at 3:15 o’clock on Monday
morning, burial being made in Wil- |
liamsport.

Firemen’s
Convention DuBois
Next Year.
at
At the 29th annual convention of
the Central Pennsylvania District
Firemen’s association held in Philips-
burg last week DuBois was unani-
mously chosen as the place for hold-
companies were admitted to member-
wood; Central Fire company, of John-
sonburg; Blazing Arrow Hook and
Ladder company, Tyrone, and the
Winburne Fire company. Officers
i elected for the ensuing year are Fred
|G Weston, DuBois, president; C. A.
Hoover, Bellwood, first vice president;
J. Frank Kephart, Philipsburg, second
vice president; H. B. Scott, Philips-
burg, treasurer; John E. Johnson,
DuBois, secretary; John Weber, Phil-
ipsburg, delegate to State convention,
and James Thomas, Philipsburg, al-
ternate.
Almost two hundred delegates and
invited guests attended the annual
banquet at the Hotel Phillips, the
principal after dinner speaker being
Lieutenant Governor E. E. Beidleman,
of Harrisburg. The parade on Thurs-
day was unusually large and the var-
ious contests quite exciting. |
The Williams Family Reunion. |
Persons who attended the Wil-
liams family reunion at Martha last |
Saturday estimated the crowd present
at from two to three thousand people. |
Frank Wetzler’s famous band, of |
Milesburg, furnished the music and '
this was undoubtedly one of the big!
attractions. There were two ball
games between the Martha nine and |
East Tyrone aggregation and each
team won a game. The Williams fam- !
ily reunion was started twenty-two |
years ago by W. S. Williams and |
since that time it has grown into one |
of the big yearly gatherings in Centre !
county. Mr. Williams, the promotor, |
was present on Saturday, notwith-
standing the fact that he is now in his ;
eightieth year, and he enjoyed the day |
as much as any person. He is a vet- |
eran of the Civil war and the patriarch |
of a large family of descendants. In‘
fact when his family is taken into con- |
sideration it isn’t any wonder the Wil- |
liams reunion is a big one. He has
eleven children living; sixty grand-
children, twelve great grand-children
and eleven great great grand-children,
making ninety-five in all.
Corl—Witmer.—The Reformed par-
sonage at Boalsburg was the scene of
a pretty wedding on Thursday even-
ing of last week when Clarence L.
Corl, of State College, and Miss Clara i
M. Witmer, of Pennsylvania Furnace,
were united in marriage by the pastor,
Rev. S. C. Stover. The bride is a
daughter of John B. Witmer and is an
accomplished young woman. The
bridegroom is a son of Mr. and Mrs.
Samuel B. Corl and is his father’s as-
sistant on the farm near State Col-
lege. Immediately after the ceremo-
ny they left on a motor trip to Niag- |
ara Falls and points in New York
State. Returning home they will live
with the bridegroom’s parents.
——Rev. Horace Lincoln Jacobs, of |
Lewistown, one of the best known
ministers in the Central Pennsylva- |
nia Methodist Episcopal conference, !

of the Methodist church to be held |
there. While overseas he will visit

]
In the neighborhood of seventy-five
members of the Erb clan, descendants
of that Centre county pioneer, Jacob
Erb, held a three day’s reunion at
State College during the week, begin-
ning on Sunday with auto trips to the
surrounding neighborhood and ending
on Tuesday. Edward S. Erb, a grand-
son of the old patriarch, acted as host
and the guests were entertained at the
Theta XI fraternity. The real guest
of honor was Mrs. Anna Sophia Mat-
ter, of Lykens, Pa., the only survivor
of the large family of children of Mr.
and Mrs. Jacob Erb. She is now eigh-
ty-eight years old but unusually
healthy and active for one of her’
years. She has been a reader of the
“Watchman” for almost sixty years
and every week looks forward to its
appearance on Saturday morning. \
Jacob Erb, the father of the clan,
was a native of Middletown, Dauphin
county, where he was born in 1795. In
1819 he married Elizabeth Bomberger
and during their residence in Dauphin
county six children were born to them,
Joseph B., William E., Mariah, John
B., Emanuel and Jacob B. In 1824
they hitched up the old ox team and
loaded their household goods and chil-
dren in the wagon and started west.
They finally landed in that part of
Ferguson township known as the
Glades and from the old firm of Stew-
art, Shorb & Co., purchased one hun-
dred acres of timber land. Mr. Erb
felled the timber to build his first log
house and cleared off his farm. Sev-
en additional children came to bless
there home, Anne Sophia, Mary Kath-
erine, David Sylvester, Georgia, Sarah
Elizabeth, Rachael and Annetta.
In 1834 Mr. Erb decided to branch
out and built a flour mill and a saw
mill, which was the foundation of
Erbtown. In later years a foundry
and machine shop were built, a tan-
nery, two blacksmith shops, a cooper
shop and shoemaker shop, all in the
Erb family. The elder Erb looked
after the flour and saw mills, Joseph
had control over the foundry and
shops, Emanuel and Jacob had charge |
of the farming interests and John B.
: the wood-chopping and charcoal burn-
. when he journeyed to that State. Wil-
‘liam E. had charge of the tannery.
ing the convention in 1922. Four new
ship, namely, the Excelsior, of Bell-
‘and the old Erb mansion is about all
ing until the gold craze in California
The latter served in the Mexican war
under General Winfield Scott. Da-
vid, the youngest son, served in the
Civil war under General Phil Sher-
idan.
Jacob Erb passed away in 1886 and
in 1895.the estate was closed out with
the sale of the farm to J. M. Kepler
that now remains of the once thriving
Erbtown. Next year’s gathering will
be held at Dunkirk, N. Y., with mem-
bers of the Emanuel Erb family.

pleasure of the gathering to have had

the reunion.
