Somerset, Pa., Aug. 29, 1922.
Editor Watchman:
We have been quite unsettled for
the last few days and are now anx-
iously awaiting orders calling us
home.
We broke camp at Ebensburg on
Saturday morning and were all pack-
ed and ready to go at seven o’clock,
but the truck company was late in ar-
riving and we did not get away until
eleven.
Our first stop was at Jenners, where
we spent Saturday night with B
Troop, our home outfit, and I assure
you we were made very much at home
by the boys.
We broke camp there early Monday
morning and reached Somerset and
had the new camp set up by after-
noon. We are very nicely located on
a level field, our tents are fitted with
electric light and there is plenty of
good water in the camp. We are the
first troops that have been in this lo-
cality and are a little bit of a novel-
ty to the natives. On Monday after-
noon we had a very pleasant visit
from Mr. and Mrs. Casebeer and their
daughter Betty, of Bellefonte, who
have been spending some time in
Somerset.
Our horses were taken overland
from Ebensburg, a distance of eighty
miles, in two and one-half days, and
seem none the worse for the trip, but
the fellows who rode them prefer to
take their meals standing for a few
days.
The road from Jenners to Somerset
is very similar to the one leading
from Pleasant Gap to State College,
and the country is much the same. It
is a farming community as well as a
mining centre and the buildings are
in much better condition than in
Washington county. Somerset is
built on both sides of a steep hill, with
the court house on the top so that it
looks about twenty times larger than
any other building in the town. The
court house, while a very nice one,
does not in any way compare with the
one in Bellefonte.
The 52nd machine gun squadron is
now a separate unit and in no way at-
tached to the 104th cavalry, and Major
Curtin is in command of this district.
Unless the troops in the field are
recalled within the next week or ten
days we are told that the boys who
are in school will be furloughed in or-
der to continue their studies.
All the fellows wish to be remem-
bered to the home folks.
Sincerely,
JOHN J. BOWER Jr.
Corn and Weiner Roast.
The annual corn and weiner roast
of the Otterbein Brotherhood of the
United Brethren church, which was to
have been held on Halfmoon hill on
Thursday night, was held in the
church basement, and was made a
“boil” instead. About fifty were
present and a “hot time” was thor-
oughly enjoyed by all.
The cooks were C. D. Young, David
Bathurst, Jesse Confer and “Patsy”
Bathurst, who surely know how to do
corn just right. Of course there
were others who assisted but most of
the help was rendered at the table in-
stead of at the stove. L. C. Thomp-
son, Jacob Hoy and “Jack” Houck
were the leaders in eating the most
corn while the Otterbein Guild girls
knew how to get outside the most
weiners. Everybody had all they
could eat, lots of fun and a jolly good
time.

JOHNSON.—Daniel Irvin Johnson,
‘a well known resident of Ferguson
township, passed away at his home at
Pine Hall at three o’clock on Sunday
afternoon after one week’s illness as
the result of a stroke of paralysis.
He was a son of Jonathan C. and
Sarah Coldron Johnson and was born
in Walker township July 19th, 1838,
hence had reached the advanced age
of 84 years, 1 month and 8 days. His
paternal grandfather was a captain in
the continental army under General
George Washington. Mr. Johnson’s
boyhood days were spent on the home
farm in Walker township and it was
but natural that when he grew to
manhood he stuck to the farm. In
1889 he rented and moved onto the
farm near Pine Hall which he pur-
chased in 1892, and which has been
his home ever since. He was a life-
long member of the Lutheran church,
a charter member of Washington
Grange and a staunch Democrat. He
had considerable talent for music and
in his younger years taught singing
schools and was also leader of his
church choir.
In 1865 he married Miss Catherine
Rebecca Brumgard who passed away
in 1903, but surving him are six sons,
Austin L., Cyrus M. and Olin A,, of
State College; Joseph N. and William
E., of Pine Grove Mills, and Emery C.,
on the home farm. He also leaves
thirty-seven grand-children and eigh-
teen great grand-children. He was
the youngest of a family of nine chil-
dren and but one brother survives, the
venerable Joel Johnson, of Bellefonte,
now past 92 years of age.
Funeral services were held at his
late home at two o'clock on Wednes-
day afternoon by Rev. English, after
which burial was made in the Pine
Hall cemetery. .

WALKER.—George F. Walker, a
lifelong resident of Boggs township,
died at his home at Runville on Fri-
day of last week after a brief illness
with typhoid fever. He passed away
just thirteen days after he was com-
pelled to take his bed.
He was a son of Benjamin and Jane |
Walker and was born in Boggs town-
ship sixty-two years ago. As a young
man he went to work as a track la-
borer on the Snow Shoe railroad and
because of the conscientious way in
which he did the work assigned to
him he was promoted to the position
of track foreman and for many years
has filled the position with faithful-
ness and efficiency. He had charge of
that section of track which included
the famous “switchback” on the moun-
tain and always kept it in good con-
dition.
He was married to Miss Jennie
Johnson who survives with two sons,
Edward Walker, who has been his
father’s assistant for a number of
years past, and William H. Walker,
both residents of Runville.
Mr. Walker was a member of the
United Brethren church and a man
who had the confidence and esteem of
a large circle of friends, many of
whom attended the funeral which was
held at his late home on Sunday after-
noon. Rev. G. A. Sparks preached a
very impressive sermon and burial
was made in the Advent cemetery.

RAMSEY. — Mrs. Miriam Eyre
Ramsey passed away at the Bellefonte
hospital at three o’clock last Sunday
morning after undergoing treatment
at that institution for a period of nine
days. Mrs. Ramsey was a profession-
al nurse and accompanied Mrs. E. E.
Sparks from Philadelphia to State
College when she was brought home
on July 18th. She was taken quite
sick while caring for that lady and
was removed to the Bellefonte hos-
pital for treatment.
She was a daughter of Edward and
Mary Bond Eyre and was born in
Camden on May 23rd, 1899, hence was
33 years, 3 months and 4 days old.
Her two brothers were notified of her
serious illness and they both reached
Bellefonte on Saturday in time to see
their sister before she passed away.
The remains were shipped to Philadel-
phia on Sunday for i

LONG.—Daniel Long, a well known
farmer of Walker township, died on
Monday following a three month’s ill-
ness with valvular heart trouble. He
was a son of John and Katherine Long
and was born in Pennsvalley on May
25th, 1848, hence had reached the age
of 74 years, 3 months and 3 days. He
followed farming all his life and was
an industrious and highly respected
citizen. He is survived by his wife
and four children, namely: Mrs. W.
Earl Corman, of Walker township;
Mrs. Archey, of Lock Haven; Hiram
Long, of Nittany, and Claire, of New
York. Burial was made in the Hub-
lersburg cemetery on Volnesisy.
i
IRVIN.—Archibald Irvin, a well
known resident of upper Bald Eagle
valley, died at his home at the Woomer
settlement last Friday as the result of
a stroke of paralysis, aged 71 years
and 3 days. He was a farmer by oc-
cupation and a good citizen. He is
survived by his wife and five children.
Rev. Scott, of Philipsburg, had charge
of the funeral services which were
held on Monday afternoon, burial be-
ing made in the cemetery at Port Ma-
tilda. .

of Centre county, died last Wednesday
at the home of his son, Clinton E.
Swartz, in Tyrone, as the result of a
stroke of paralysis sustained three
weeks previous, aged 80 years, 4
months and 6 days. He was a laborer
by occupation and a resident of Miles-
burg for many years. He was mar-
ried to Elizabeth Poorman who died
in 1901 but surviving him are the fol-
re
lowing children: Clinton E., of Ty-
rone; Luther, of Lincoln, Neb.; Mrs.
Bertha Griffey, of Bellefonte; Mrs.
Homer Noll, Mrs. R. A. Coldren and

Land Broken for Hospital at State
College.
In the neighborhood of two thous-
and people, representatives of the
various potato grower’s associations
in Pennsylvania, journeyed to State
College last Friday to witness the
breaking of ground for the new Col-
lege hospital to be erected out of
funds contributed by the potato grow-
ers of the State. Prof. E. L. Nixon,
dubbed the potato wizard of the Col-
lege, was in charge and the first shov-
elful of earth was turned by Dr. D. D.
Fritch, of Macungie, representing the
potato industry. Second honors went
to Miss Anna McCarey, of Turtle
Point, an official of the McKean coun-
ty Pomona Grange, the first organiza-
tion to contribute to the fund, then the
representatives of the boys’ potato
clubs were given a chance to do some
shoveling.
The official presentation of the fund
was made by H. H. McCallum, presi-
dent of the State Potato Growers’ as-
sociation, President John M. Thomas
making the speech of acceptance for
the College. The actual fund in sight
totals $134,000, with sufficient unre-
reported pledges to bring the amount
up to $150,000, the cost of the hospital.
The new institution will be located on
Agricultural hill and will be adequate
for the college needs for years to
come.
Coincident with the ground break-
ing ceremonies the visitors were
shown an exhibit of the latest and
most up-to-date potato culture ma-
chinery, with demonstrations of
sprayers, diggers, ete.

Veterans Fiftieth Annual Reunion.
The annual meeting of the Centre
County Veterans club, at Grange park
next Wednesday, will have peculiar
significance for the handful of griz-
zled veterans who will be in attend-
ance as it will be the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the club’s organization. It
was in 1872 when the club was organ-
ized in Bellefonte and the membership
at one time was quite large. Years
ago their annual reunions were re-
garded one of the biggest events in
Centre county and were attended by
G. A. R. men from all over the State.
Today only a few of the original mem-
bers survive but they continue to
gather at their annual reunion with as
much patriotism as they displayed
sixty years ago when they marched
forth to fight on southern battlefields.

| Soldiers to Gather on Boal Camp |
On May
14th, 1922, the veterans’ organization |
the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. John |
fonte, on Wednesday of last week by Ohi
Soldiers to Move on Hecla Park Next
Monday.
Next Monday will be Labor day and
taking advantage of the fact that it is
a holiday many world war soldiers
from Bellefonte and Centre county
will make an onslaught on Hecla park
in the first annual picnic of the
Brooks-Doll Post of the American Le-
gion. The campaign has been well
mapped out and if the boys do not
come out of the fray victors it will be
because the people of Centre county
do not show the same interest in
them that they did over four years ago
when Germany loomed ominously in
the distance.
The committee in charge of the pic-
nic has arranged 2 good program of
sports, chief among which will be a
ball game between the Howard and
Millheim teams. The fans in both
these places think their teams are just
about the niftiest bunch of amateurs
in the county and next Monday will
be the day for a decision.
There will be boating and other
sports while an all-star orchestra, of
| Altoona, will play for the dancing
afternoon and evening. The gather-
ing has been designed as a basket pic-
‘nic but refreshment stands will be on
i the grounds for the accommodation cf
all who do not care to take a lunch.
' This will be the last big picnic of
the season and the soldier boys should
be greeted by a large crowd. All the
proceeds will be applied to the fund
i for the purchase of a permanent
home for the Brooks-Doll Post.

i Be a Homesteader for the Legion.
Since last week the Brooks-Doll
' Post of the American Legion has been
, taking the preliminary steps looking
: toward the organization of a drive for
| funds for its proposed home. A com-
| mittee of Legionaires has been ap-
{ pointed by post commander John B.
| Payne for the purpose of consulting
and working with a committee of rep-
| resentative citizens of Bellefonte and
| vicinity, who have consented to serve.
A complete membership list of this
; committee will be published at an ear-
ily date. These committees will meet
i to adopt a plan for the raising of
: funds, and the plan adopted will then
: be made public.
| The success of any plan for the
| raising of funds will depend almost
| entirely upon the help and aid of the
| public at large. The Legion post,
through various efforts, will continue
{ to raise money for the home trust
| fund, but it will be the friends of the
, ex-soldier and sailor in Bellefonte and
| vicinity whose contributions will make
| the home possible. Inasmuch as the
post, and every individual ex-service
man in the post, realizes that the
home will be secured only through the
help of the community, the post will
be more than eager to take its full
part in any undertaking of benefit to
the community when called upon to do
so. An active post of greater
strength and efficiency will result
from an adequate home and greater
service to the community can be ren-
dered by such a post.
Let every one be a homesteader for
the Legion.
