| LANDSY.—The death of Mrs.
' Blanche B. Landsy, widow of M. A.
| Landsy, at the home of her
| prief mention of which was made in
the last issue of the Watchman, was
a distinct shock to her many friends
in Bellefonte, coming, as it did, in
less than eight months after the
death of her husband and at a time
when she had reason to look for-
ward with undimmed hope for a
brighter and more successful future.
Mrs. Landsy went to Philadelphia
a week or more prior to the holiday
season to spend Christmas with
members of her family and also to
consult with her family physician
regarding her health. On Wednes-
day of last week she had not been
feeling very good and retired early.
During the night she had a severe
attack of what the physician diag-
nosed as muscular rheumatism. From
that time on she had recurrent at-
tacks until she passed away at 1.15
|p. m., Thursday, the disease having
affected her heart.
A daughter of Jonas and Fannie
Bailey, she was born in Philadelphia
‘about forty years ago. All herlife
‘was spent there until her marriage
to Mr. Landsy on December 31st,
1922, and since then she had made
her home in Bellefonte. Her death
(took place on the 9th anniversary of
‘her marriage. During the nine years
'she lived in Bellefonte she had won
a large circle of warm friends be-
cause of her charming and gracious
manner at all times, regardless of
the fact that for most of the time
she lived here she had been a suf-
ferer because of ill health.
Following Mr. Landsy's death on
May 6th, last, she took complete
supervision of The Markland hotel
which her husband had fashioned
out of the old Bush residence, on
Spring street, and so succes:fully
carried out his ideals in the conduct
of the place that it had attained a
reputation for tone and excellence
[that was more than State-wide.
|And she had attained that point in
| her business management where the
outlook for the future grew bright-

McWILLIAMS.—Henry McWil-
retired farmer of
Centre county,
died suddenly at the home of his
sister, Mrs. J. T. Buchwalter, in
Lancaster, on Wednesday
While he maintained a residence on
McWilliams homestead farm
near Fair Brook, where he was
born, it was his custom to spend
the winter months with his sister in
Lancaster and went there in Decem-
ber. For some years he has been
troubled with a heart affection and
that is given as the cause of his
death.
Mr. McWilliams was the oldest
son of G. Washington and Mary
Keichline McWilliams and was born
about sixty-six years ago. All of
his active life was devoted to farm.
ing and was spent on the home-
stead. Sprung from two of the
pioneer families of a township that
has been notable for the splendid
type of citizens it has given to Cen-
tre county Mr. McWilliams’ life was
an exemplification of the best tradi-
tions of his forbears. He was a
christian gentleman. |
Surviving him are the following
brothers and sisters: John, of Pine
Grove Mills; Samuel, of Mechanics-
burg; Mrs. Newton Dreibelbis, of
State College; Mrs. J. F. Buchwal-
ter, of Lancaster; and Mrs. Edwin
Bowersox, of Lancaster.

Marti Olive Rebecca
Martin, widow of Franklin Martin,
died at the Centre County hospital,
on Tuesday evening of last week,
following several month's illness
with a complication of diseases.
She was a daughter of William
and Sarah Garner aad was bornat
State College 60 years ago. On
October 13th, 1891, she married W.
Franklin Martin and the first few
years of their married life were
spent at Pine Hall. Moving from
Pine Hall to Bellefonte they lived
here until Mr. Martin's death in
December, 1918, when the family re-
turned to State College. She was
a lifelong member of the Methodist
church and a member of the Sus-
TWO AUTO ACCIDENTS
OVER THE WEEK-END.
The rain, snow and slush last Fri.
day rendered every highway in Cen-
. tre county extremely hazardous for
and resulted in a num-
automobilists
ber of minor accidents from skid.
ding cars. Bellefonters figured in’
one of them. Dr. R. L. Stevens,
wife and son Frank, with the doc-
tor's brother and sister, Frank and
Maudleen Stevens, left here about
nine o'clock Friday morning to mo-
tor to Petersburg to eat their New
Year's dinner with Mrs. Stevens’
family, at that place. A short
distance this side of Port Matilda
the car skidded on the slippery road-
way and crashed into the concrete
abutment of a culvert. Mrs. Stev-
ens sustained a fractured nose, cuts
and bruises, while Frank Stevens
received a sprained arm. None of
the others were seriously injured
but the car was badly damaged and
the doctor was compelled to walk to
Port Matilda and secure a car to
bring them back to Bellefonte.
Last Friday evening Craig Graf-
mire, of Milesburg, was one of a
party of men who stopped a run-
away car on the hill at the entrance
to Milesburg and unthinkingly step-
ped in front of a car driven by
Miles Steele, of Bellefonte. He was
knocked down and at first was be-
lieved to have been seriously hurt,
but upon being examined after be-
ing brought to the Centre County
hospital it was found that he was
not badly hurt. Cuts and bruises
were the extent of his injuries and
he is now getting along all right.
At one time, on Friday, according
to report, fourteen cars were stalled
on Nittany mountain. One car was
found turned upside down over the
bank at the side of the road, but so
far as could be learned the occu-
pants were not injured. By Satur-
day the roads had been cleared and
dried off sufficiently to reduce the
hazard of driving.

if it were not for the monthly milk
check ready money would be as hard
to find around a country home as hen's
teeth. All other crops are so low In
price that it pays better to feed them
than to sell. The farmers of Centre
county have been having rough sledding
for three years, but, withal, they have
homes, cellars full of canned goods, all
the pork, milk, butter, eggs and chickens
they want and a monthly milk check
coming in. They are not getting rich,
of course, but people are not thinking
of that these days. Millions of them
are struggling to get enough to eat.
And, at least, the farmers have that.
