CAPT.
FRY.—Up at Pine Grove Mills, in
Ferguson township, the sun set al
one o'clock on Sunday afternoon for
one of the best known men in Cen-
tre county; a man who probably be-
friended more people during his life
than any other man in the coun-
ty. He lived to a ripe old age,
well onto eighty-nine years, and his
going was as peaceful as his life
was thrilling. The man was Capt.
William H. Fry, veteran of the Civil
war, pairiotic G. A. R. man, retired
veterinarian and venerable news-
paper correspondent for his com-
munity for most of the counly
papers. His death was the re-
sult of a general breakdown of 2
once strong and rugged constitution,
and he was conscious up until several! |
hours before he entered upon his
last peaceful sleep.
Capt. Fry was a son of Conrad
and Mary Ann Kustenbauder Fry
and was born on the family home-
stead, in Ferguson township, on July
18th, 1843, making his age 88 years,
7 months and 3 days. He was edu-
cated at the Pine Grove Mills acad-
emy and as a young man taught
school during the winter seasons
and worked on the homestead farm
in summer. When the Civil war
broke out he enlisted as a private in
Company E, 45th Pennsylvania vol-
‘unteers. At the battle of South
| Mountain a Confederate bullet shat-
'tered his skull and he was left ly-
ing on the field as a fatality. Twen-
| ty-four hours later he was discover-
‘ed alive and was at once rushed to
| an emergency hospital. His wound
was dressed, a silver plate put in to
‘replace the splintered skull bone
and he recovered. He was honor-
ably discharged at Baltimore on
April 24th, 1863, and returning home
resumed teaching, for several years
being in charge of the grammar
school at Pine Grove Mills. He later
took up the study of veterinary
science and in due time was licensed
to practice that profession. “At the
death of his parents he took over
the homestead farm, near Pine
Grove Mills, and that is where he
made his home for many years.

Fifth regiment, N. G. P., and served
one enlistment. He was affiliated
with the Grange and at one time
was a member of the Heptasophs,
Jr. O. UU A.M. and P. D. 8B. of A.
In politics he was a true blue
Democrat without “isms” of any
kind or character. He filled various
township offices and on one or more
occasions was a candidate for coun-
ty honors but lost out either at the
primaries or the election. All in
all, he was a man among men, with
a standing attained by very few.

five weeks. Mrs. Miller and her son
made the overnight visit at this time
primarily to see the former's brother,
Dr. Walter Stewart, here from Wilkes-

from a recent illness.
—Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Melville and
daughter, Edith Jane, of Greenwich,
Conn., were called here Friday by the
sudden and fatal illness of Mrs. Melville's
sister, Susan Harlacher, of Stormstown
and State College, who died Saturday in
the Centre County hospital. Mrs. Mel-
ville will be remembered as Edith Har-
lacher, formerly secretary to Dean Louis
| Hewitt, Rev. Robert Thena and Her-
man Hazel, of Bellefonte, started
on a motor trip to Philipsburg to
| attend the weekly luncheon of the
Kiwanis club, of that place, as repre-
sentatives of the Bellefonte club.
Mr. Kerlin was driving his own car
and, as the luncheon was to be a
jeint one of the Tyrone and Philips-
burg clubs, he was under the im-
pression it was to be held in Tyrone.
Consequently when he reached the
Triangle, instead of turning off to
‘go over the mountain he continued
on up Bald Eagle valley. When
his attention was called to the fact
that the gathering was at Philips-
burg he undertook to make a left
hand turn in the road and as he
did so he saw coming toward them
at full speed a big Studebaker car.
He attempted to swing to the right
and get out of the way but was too
late and the cars crashed head on.
Mr. Hewitt was thrown against the
| windshield and sustained a cut on
the head from the broken glass. Mr.
Hazel, sitting on the rear seat be-
hind Mr. Kerlin, was thrown over
the back of the front seat and land-
ed on top of Kerlin and the steering
wheel. He was not injured and
neither were Kerlin and Rev. Thena.
The occupants of the Studebaker
car, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Mullane, of
Greensburg, who were enroute to
| Lock Haven, were not so fortunate,
| however. Mr. Mullane suffered a
fracture of the cheek bone, lacera-
tions and bruises and the loss of
several front teeth. Mrs. Mullane
sustained a fracture of the right leg,
lacerations and bruises. They were
both taken to the Altoona hospital
for treatment. Both cars were bad-
ly damaged.
