A son of Jacob and Anna Rudy Gettig he was born at Madisonburg on December 26th, 1838, hence had reached the age of 92 years, 7 months and 12 days. His early life was spent on the farm and when the Civil war broke he enlisted in Company A, 148th regiment, serving under General James. A. Beaver. He served in some of the fierces bat- tles of the Virginia campaign and in one of the battles a small Bible he carried in his breast pocket stopped a bullet and probably saved his life. In November, 1863, he was made a corporal and at the battle of Ream's Station on August 25th, 1864, where General Beaver lost his leg, he was taken prisoner and held until the surrender of Lee. During his life he taught school, clerked in a store, owned and conducted a store a number of years, had a coal and grain depot at Coburn and serv- ed as postmaster at Madisonburg for eighteen years. Following his return from the war he married Susannah Yearick, who died several years ago, but surviv- ing him are six children, Mrs. Anna Musser, of Williamsport; William A. Gettig, of Ellwood City; Mrs. Cora Meyers, of Spring Mills; John F. of Kew, Alberta, Canada; Samuel I. of Winona, Ohio, and Mrs. Mary Kern, of Madisonburg. One sister sur- vives, Mrs. Susan Eyer, of Young- dale. Funeral services were held in the Reformed church, at Madisonburg, on Monday afternoon of last week, by Rev. A. J. Miller, burial being made in the church cemetery. 1 } NEIMAN. Miss Carrie L. Neiman passed away at her home on Dix Run, in Union township, about two o'clock last Thursday afternoon, following over a month's illness with cancer of the lver. f A She was a daughter of George and Elizabeth Neiman and was born at Snow “Shoe Intersection over 61 years ago. When a young girl the family lived in Bellefonte and most of her education was received in the public schools here. Mr. Neiman later purchased a small farm on Dix Run and moved there. After she grew to womanhood Miss Nei- man spent a number of years away from home, working for others, bat illness in the family caused her to return home. A whole sermon could be written on the unselfish devotion and care given both her father and mother during long periods of ill- ness and when they passed away and were laid to rest she took upon herself the burden of on the homestead farm. Her life was not a path of roses, but she fought her own battles in the struggle for ex- istence and had reached a point where brighter hopes for the future were in view when overtaken by ill- ness. Her only survivors are two broth- ers, Lloyd H., at home, and William T., of Jeannette. She was a lifelong member of the Methodist church and Rev. M.H. Crawford had charge of her funeral services which were held in the Methodist church, at Union- ville, at 2 o'clock last Saturday af- ternoon, burial being made in the Stover cemetery.

Mrs, Ellen Elvina Hub- ler, widow of Philip Hubler, died at her home at Rebersburg, on August 8th, following an illness of some weeks due to her advanced age. She was a daughter of Andrew and Peggy Spotts and was born in Union county in 1851, her age at death being 80 years, 2 months and 24 days. She marrried Mr. Hubler on Christmas day, 1877.

Four men, all sentenced to death for the murder of one man in Cam- bria county, were electrocuted at Rockview penitentiary, on Monday morning, the first quadruple execu- tion since March 8th, 1927, when the four Olney bank robbers, of Philadelphia, were put to death in the electric chair. The four Cambria county men were Joseph Parsi, Frank Powell, Frank Cantilla and Carl Crow, and it took just 28 minutes to carry out the mandate of the law, an average of seven minutes to a man. They were taken to the chair in the order named above. Farsi and Powell walked to the electrocution chamber without any visible signs of fear. Cantilla was quite nervous and show- ed signs of weakening so that he had to be supported by guards. Crow, the last man, and supposed- ly the ringleader of the gang, walked to the chair with slow, de- liberate steps and in addition to re- peating the Litany after Father Mc- Creesh repeated the first lines of the Lord's Prayer. At the chair he asked for permission to make a re- mark and stated: “I am innocent: innocent as a babe. God bless my boy.” Father McCreesh attended all four men and the physician in charge was Dr. W. A. Barett, of the peni- tentiary. The bodies of all the men were claimed and were taken to Cambria county for burial. The men were convicted of the murder of Louis Hoffman on his farm in Adams township, Cambria county, on July 14th, 1928. An alleged quarrel over a supply of moonshine liquor was assigned as the cause of the murder. So well had the gang covered it's tracks that it was not until late in 1920 that the men were arrested. Pow- ell, Cantilla and Crow were tried and convicted in June and July, 1930, Parsi pleading guilty later. A fifth member of the gang, Tony Polumbo, was convicted and given life imprisonment. The four men put up a hard legal fight to escape the death chair. Their cases were before the Supreme court twice and also reviewed by the Board of Pardons twice, while two appeals for new trials were denied by the Cambria county court. In fight for life Parsi had been respited seven times, Powell five times and Crow and Cantilla three times each. It will be recalled that Crow and Cantilla, scheduled to be electrocuted on June 2nd, were granted a respite just five hours before they were to have been taken to the chair. The men maintained to the | their innocence of the crime of which they were convicted and executed, but the preponderance of The men were all members of a bootlegging gang operating in Johns- town and on the night of the mur- der had gone to the Hoffman farm to get a supply of liquor which they believed he had. Hoffman denied having any liquor, and a quarrel en- sued which resulted in the killing of Hoffman. ~-—Chester H. Barnes, one of Bellefonte's young men who is mak- ing good in teaching, was released Ly the Sheffield, Pa. school board, Monday evening, where he has been supervising principal the past six years, to accept the position of su- perintendent of schools at Bridge- port, Pa, which naturally carries with it a nice increase in salary. ~——It was probably fear, rather than affection, that influenced Vare to forgive Cunningham. C. and Elmer E. Hubler, all living in or near Rebersburg. She also leaves one sister, Mrs. Chestie Bier- ly, of Clintondale. Funeral services were held in the Lutheran church, at Rebersburg, on Tuesday morning of last week, by Rev, E. N. Fry, burial being made in the Rebersburg cemetery.

The August meeting of the Belle- fonte Garden Club was held, last Wednesday afterncon, at the home of Mrs. H. L. Curtin, at Curtin, with thirty members and ten guests pres. ent. In the absence of the presi- dent, Mrs. Gregg Curtin, the vice president, Mrs. George A. Beezer had charge of the meeting. The secretary read the minutes of the last meeting, which were accept- ed as read, and the regular routine business was disposed of. Mrs. J.D. Hunter, for the membership commit- tee, submitted the name of Mrs. Girard Altenderfer, of Howard, for membership, which was accepted. The committee on awards, Mrs. D. H. Hastings and Mrs. J. D. Hunter, awarded a blue ribbon to Mrs. A. O. Furst for a basket of choice dahlias and to H. L. Curtin Jr, for an artis- tically arranged basket of mixed flowers. The speaker of the afternoon was A. O. Rasmussen, head of the Penn- sylvania State College extension de- partment of ornamental horticulture. His topic “Beautification of Home Grounds,” was practical and intense- ly interesting. He stressed the im- portance of a definite plan for gar- den and shrubbery, suitable shrub- bery for houses of different types and materials, also heights and dis- tances. The most modern garden could be perfected by working along the lines suggested, and the large garden transformed into a place of beauty and correct proportion which in itself brings beauty and satisfac- tion. The Bellefonte Garden Club was most grateful and appreciative of Mr. Rasmussen's interest in the work. R. C. Blaney, Centre county farm bureau agent, was also present at the meeting. The meeting was held on north terrace, with chairs under the trees and adjoining the charming garden. On every side the lawn stretched away to shrubbery and flowers, and to the creek and moun- tains in the distance. A picnic sup- per was served after which the guests wandered through the beau- ‘tiful old home, filled with its treas- ures of furniture and paintings dating back to the early settlements of Central Pennsylvania. The inde- scribable beauty of the home and gar- dens and the gracious hospitality of the host and hostess, Major and Mrs. H. L. Curtin, made a delightful af- ternoon long to be remembered by the Garden Club of Bellefonte. * * * AARONSBURG E. L. Stover made a business trip to Howard, Wednesday of last week.
