SWABB.—Frank W. Swabb, for
years a well known farmer of Fergu-
son township, died very suddenly and
unexpectedly at his home on the
Mitchell farm last Friday morning.
He had been a sufferer with organic
heart trouble for some time and on
March 20th made sale of his farm
stock and machinery with the inten-
tion of retiring from active work.
Friends of the family in that commu-
nity were planning to give them a big
farewell party on Friday night prior
to their leaving the Mitchell fafm and
Mr. Swabb was looking forward to
the event with considerable elation.
He retired on Thursday evening feel-
ing as well as usual, was taken sick
during the night and died on Friday
morning.
Deceased was a son of Mr. and Mrs.
George Swabb and was born near Lin-
den Hall sixty-five years ago. His
father many years ago filled the office
of county commissioner. Frank spent
his boyhood days in working on the
farm and going to school but his dai-
ly task becoming rather irksome he
learned the saddler’s trade, an occu-
pation he followed until 1897, when he
decided to get back to nature and
started farming on the James Kusta-
border farm near Pine Grove Mills.
Three years later he moved to the
James Mitchell farm, late the proper-
ty of Miss Olive Mitchell, of Belle-
fonte, where he lived ever since. He
was a member of the Lutheran church
and in politics a dyed-in-the-wool
Democrat. During his life he filled a
number of township offices, the last
one being that of road supervisor, be-
ing secretary of the board.
As a young man he married Miss
Mary Black, who passed away ten

following children: Mrs. John Gear-
hart, of Shelby, Ohio; Mrs. Harry Erb,
of Brunswick, Md.; Mrs. Carl Tillim,
of Baltimore; Mrs. Fred Williams, of
Clearfield; Mary, Ruth and Clara, at
home. He also leaves two brothers,
