FIFTY YEARS AGO
IN CENTRE COUNTY.
Items from the Watchman issue of
June 13, 1879.
Jacob Garber, a former Centre
county resident was killed by a cy-
clone ten miles west of Minne-
apolis, Kansas, on May 30. He was
with a party of four others, travelling
afoot, while locating land. All were
more or less injured.
A colored campmeeting will be held
in Bellefonte from June 20 to June
30. The camp site will be the grove
of Mrs. Thomas, near the fair
grounds. The Rev. John Jasper, of
Richmond, Va., will be the principal
preacher on the grounds. Rev.
Jasper is the originator of the idea
that “the sun do move” and one of his
sermons will be based on that text.
We note that a committee of the
Legislature visited State College in
May, 1879, for the purpose of mak-
ing an investigation of the activities
of the institution there. Its mem-
bers went back to Harrisburg, after
spending only two and one-half hours
at the College, and introduced a ter-
rible resolution in the House, which
was promptly adopted. According to
the article in the Watchman they
charged all sorts of mismanagement
and this in the face of the fact that
they hadn't examined a book or a
record at the institution. All they
did, apparently, was eat a big din-
ner, amble around a bit and then
drive back to Bellefonte—Ed.
At the residence of John Barnes,
at Pleasant Gap, John H. Herman
and Miss Alice Baumgardner were
married on June 5. Rev. J. A. Wood
performed the ceremony.
There will be a trotting race at the
fair frounds tomorrow afternoon be-
tween Harry Kline's horse “Tobe,”
Mart Cooney’s “Wild Irishman” and
Mike Dolan’s “Dick.” The purse is
$30 and the winner will get all of it.
A telephone line has been strung
from the telegraph office near the de-
pot to Allegheny and Linn Sts. In-
struments have been installed in Gug-
genheimer’s two stores, Blanchard’s
law office, the Bush, Yocum and
Hastings law office, Alexander and
Bower's office, the First National
bank, the Centre County bank, the
Brockerhoff house, the court house,
the sheriff’s office and in the resi-
dence of E. T. Tuten, on Linn St.
Mr. G. W. Zeigler, of Philipsburg,
gave us a call last Friday. George
seems to hold his own as well as any
other man in the county.
A fording place is now pointed out
by finger boards over the Bald Eagle
at Milesburg. A new iron bridge will
soon be built there.
The Logan and Undine fire com-
panies propose to visit Pleasant Gap
instead of going to Harrisburg on the
Fourth of July.
Col. Hastings and Jack Spangler
were observed driving through Miles-
burg Monday evening last at a rapid
pace.
Alva S. Grow published his valedic-
tory in this week’s edition of the “Re-
publican” and will leave in a day or
so for Lock Haven to take charge of
the “Journal” which he recently pur-
chased.
Mrs. Harriet
wife of Charles McCafferty, died at
her home in this place, last Satur-
day morning, after a long illness.
She was a daughter of James Wil-
liams who owned the land where the
Bush house now stands and the first
one of his children to pass away.
FORMER CENTRE COUNTIAN
SINGS IN CHOIR 45 YEARS.
Like a voice out of the past comes
a story of William H. Fishburn, a
former Centre countian and the last
of his generation, who has won fame
in his home town of Alda, Neb., by
singing in the choir of the same
church for forty-five years. He is
now 88 years old and, although his
voice is still clear and steady, he re-
tired from the choir about a year ago
when it was decided to reorganize
with younger voices.
Mr. Fishburn was born and grew
to manhood in Benner township. He
was a brother of the late Mrs. Heze-
kiah K. Hoy. He went west in 1832
and settled near Alda, Neb. Shortly
after locating there he was asked to
join the church choir. From boyhood
he had an ear for music and had don®
considerable singing around his home
but never in public, but he joined the
choir and for almost half a century
had been its backbone and mainstay.
During the 45 years that he sung in
the choir he saw twenty pastors
come and go, and at this time the
little Methodist church of which he
is a member is being served by a sub-
stitute.
Mr. Fishburn has been a widower
for 46 years and makes his home
with his daughter, Mrs. M. K. Dean.
He also has one son, Daniel Fishburn,
living at Grand Island, Neb.
Newell McCafferty,
of Cyrus Brungard at his home in
Centre Hall, -at 10 o'clock on Satur-
day morning, removes another of the
men who have been prominently
identified with the history of Centre
county. He had been a sufferer for
more than a year with kidney and
heart trouble but never gave up and
as late as last Friday sat up in his
favorite chair, although he had taken
little nourishment for two weeks.
Mr. Brungard was a son of Jacob
and Sallie Corman Brungard, and
was born in Brush valley on Novem-
ber 20th, 1851, hence had reached
the age of 77 years, 6 months and 18
days. He was a descendant of Mar-
tin Brungard who came to this coun-
try from Germany in 1752 and set-
tled in Philadelphia, later coming to
Centre county and locating in Brush
valley. Mr. Brungard was educated
at the Brungard school house and
when he grew to manhood he engag-
ed in farming in Brush valley. Dur-
ing his residence in that township he
served as school director, township
auditor and tax collector, and in the
latter office made the previously un-
heard of record of settling his dupli-
cate within four months after he re-
ceived the books.
In the spring of 1889 he returned
from the farm and moved to Millheim
to engage in the butchering business.
He had only become rightly establish-
ed when the big flood of May 31st,
in that year, came along and he suf-
fered considerable loss along with
many other residents of Millheim.
But with open-hearted generosity he
cut up half a beef and distributed
it free to those who had fared worse
than himself. During his ten years’
residence in Millheim he served on
the town council and also the school
board.
In 1899 he became a candidate for
the nomination for sheriff ‘on the
Democratic ticket, and although he
ran in a field of four candidates he
was nominated on the first ballot in
the county convention, receiving 59%
votes. His opponent for the office on
the Republican ticket was Jacob Her-
man, but Brungard was elected by
a majority of 461 votes. During his
three years’ term he made a splendid
official and shortly after he retired
from the office he moved to Centre
Hall. He had been there only a year
or so when he was elected a justice
of the peace and held that office con-
tinuously until his death. He was a
member of the Lutheran church all
his life.
When a young man he married
Miss Dollie J. Emerick, a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. William Emerick, of
Centre Hall, who survives with two
daughters, Mrs. John B. Getchell, of
Uniontown, and Mrs. T. M. Keefer,
of Youngwood. He also leaves three
brothers and one sister, Jeremiah,
Clayton and Ira Brungard, of Rebers- |
burg, and Mrs. James Wert, of
Aaronsburg.
Funeral services were held in the
Lutheran church, at Centre Hall, at
10 o'clock on Tuesday morning, by
the pastor, Rev. S. F. Greenhoe, as-
sisted by Rev. J. M. Rearick, of Mif-
flinburg, burial being made in the
Centre Hall cemetery.

‘The committee in charge of
the annaul convention of the Centre
County Sabbath School association,
which will be held in the Church of
Christ, at Blanchard, on Thursday,
evening and Friday of next week,
has prepared a very interesting pro-
gram which will no doubt be appre-
ciated by all who attend. Every Sun-
day school in the county should ar-
range to send the quota of two del-
egates as well as pastors and sup-
erintendents. All Sunday school
workers, however, are urged to at-
tend the gathering.
——Roy Woodring, alias T. M. Le-
Roy Seyler, serving a term of one
and a half to three years in the
western penitentiary on a sentence
from Clearfield county, made his es-
cape last Thursday evening. He was
caught, on Monday evening, in the
foothills of the Alleghenies back of
Unionville, as he was heading for his
home locality. Brought before Judge
Fleming, on Tuesday afternoon, he
was given an additional sentence of
a year and a half to three years.
