the Philadelphia hospitals, where he
was operated on Wednesday, for
mastoids. Word from Mr. Zeigler’s

tractive feature of the motion picture

able releases. The films are the best
to be had for the money, being the
product of the leading studios in this

vailed during the entire winter.
ARD:—Mrs. Amanda Body Ard,
well known resident of Woodward,
widow of the late Dr. Wilson P. Ard.
died quite suddenly on Sunday while
visiting at the home of a neighbor,
her death being the result of a heart
attack. She had returned home. on
Friday, from visiting friends in east-
ern Pennsylvania and was apparently
in the best of health. In fact during
the few weeks she was away she had
been at forty different places, On
Sunday she went to a neighbor’s to
make a call and while there suffered
the attack which resulted in almost
instant death.
She was 73 years, 3 months and
23 days old and was born in Berks
county. Her girlhood life was spent
in that part of the State and it was
there she was educated and acquired
the charm and refinement which were
such pleasing traits of character dur-
ing her many years of residence in
Centre county. She came to this
county shortly after her marriage to
Dr. Ard and ever since has lived at
Woodward. She was a member of
the Reformed church since girlhood.
Her husband died three years ago
but surviving her are three children,
Dr. George Ard, of Hanover; Mus.
Maude Kuhlman, of Pittsburgh, and
Joseph, with whom she made her
home. Funeral services were held at
her late home, at Woodward, at 10.30
o’clock on Wednesday morning, burial
being made in the cemetery at that
place.

FREDERICKS.—William Freder-|
icks, the only man who ever drew a
pension from Bellefonte borough, died
at his home on south Allegheny
street, at one o'clock on Wednesday
morning, following an illness of sev-
eral weeks, the probable result of par-
alysis with which he has been af-
flicted for more than six years. In
fact it was in 1921 when he suffered
a severe stroke which rendered him a
semi-invalid the balance of his life.
For a score or more of years prior
to that he had been an employee of
the water department of Bellefonte
borough and because of his faithful
service during all his active years
Bellefonte council put him on the
regular pay roll at half salary and
he had been so carried ever since.
Very little could be learned of Mr.
Frederick’s family history. His par-
ents were Ebenezer and Josephine
Fredericks and he was born on Decem-
ber 31st, 1860, but just where could
not be learned. As a young man he
located in Bellefonte and followed the
occupation of a day laborer, and he
always gave full value in work per-
formed.
He married Miss Ellen Harris, who
survives with no children. Funeral
services will be held at 2:30 o’clock
this (Friday) afternoon by Rev. C. C.
Shuey, burial to be made in the Sun-
nyside cemetery.
: fr i
MORAN.—Mrs. Estella Mae Moran
died on Monday, at her home in New
Kensington, as the result of an attack
of pneumonia. Her maiden name was
Estella Mae Rote and she was born
on Thomas street, Bellefonte, forty-
nine years ago. She was twice mar-
ried, both husbands having preceded
her to the grave, but surviving her
are four children to her first husband.
Luella, Lucy, Frederick and Roger
Murtaugh, all at home. She also
leaves a step-father, Harry Sayres, at
one time a bookkeeper for the Ardell
Lumber company, of Bellefonte, but
now in the Masonic home, at Eliza-
bethtown.
Mrs. Moran had been a resident
of New Kensington the past three or
four years and was engaged as an
estimator for a large contracting firm.
The remains were brought to Belle-
fonte on the 1:20 p. m. train, on'
Wednesaay, and taken to the Method-
ist church where funeral services were
held by Rev. Homer C. Knox, burial
being made in the Union cemetery.
Il Il
DETLING.—Richard Detling died
at his home in Spring township, at six
o'clock last Friday evening, as a re-
sult of a complication of diseases with
which he had suffered the past two
years.
He was almost seventy-four years
old and was born in Germany, com-
ing to this country as a young man.
He was a stonemason by trade and
followed that occupation most of his
life. As a young man he married
Miss Katherine Haas, of Roopsburg,
and all their married life had been
spent near Bellefonte. He was a
hard-working man and a good eiti-
zen.
His only survivors are his wife,
who is also in poor health, and one
daughter, Miss Mabel. Funeral serv-
ices were held at his late home at
2:30 o’clock, on Monday afternoon, by
Rev. Edward M. Frear, Episcopalian
rector of State College, burial being
made in the Union cemetery.
Il I!
GATES.—Richard T. Gates, a na-
tive Centre countian, died at the Har-
risburg hospital on February 1st, fol-
lowing an illness of some weeks with
a complication of diseases. He was
85 years old and was born at Gates-
burg, this county, most of his life
having been spent at that place and
at Pennsylvania Furnace. During the
past four or five years he had made
his home with Mrs. D. E. Baney, at
Warriorsmark, his only surviving
child. He leaves, however, two broth-
ers and one sister, George W., and
William Gates, of Altoona, and Mrs.
Martha Maney, of Peabody, Mass.
Funeral services were held at the
Baney home, at Warriorsmark, last
Friday, the remains being taken to

eran church cemetery.
