GETTIG.—Samuel Rudy Gettig,
one of the very few Civil war veter-
ans in Centre country, died at his
home at Madisonburg, on August
7th, as the result of general debility.
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.

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.
LAIRD. — John Laird lea, on Sat-
urday evening, at the home of his
son, Archie Laird, in the Glades, fol-
lowing an illness of a year or more
with complications. He was born
near Enosville, Huntingdon county,
on October 10th, 1853, hence was in
his 78th year. He was a farmer all
his life until his retirement a few
years ago. He was married three
times. His first wife was Mary
Saucerman, the second Mary Mec-
Cauley and the third Mary Walker,
all of whom have passed away.
Three children survive, Mrs. Lizzie
Rudy, of Pine Grove Mills; Mrs.
Christy, of Neff's Mills, and Archie
Laird, in the Glades. Funeral serv-
ices were held in the Methodist
church, at Eno-ville, at 2.30 o'clock
on Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. J. E.

FOUR MEN ELECTROCUTED
: ON MONDAY MORNING.
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.

perintendent of schools at Bridge-
port, Pa, which naturally carries
with it a nice increase in salary.

GARDEN CLUB MEETS
AT ANCESTRAL HOME.
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. * * *
