porium's mighty hunter—Jas Wright,
Chas. Cummings, F. F. Hilliker and
others. Everybody had an enjoyable
time and Mr. Miller left with a good
impression of Cameron county and her
citizens. Mr. Miller is a genial, whole
souled gentleman and makes friends
where ever he goes. While here he

business which ho is handling success
fully.

HILLYARD.
Our njunity, during the past
week or two has certainly experienced
I a larg number of deaths. Last Thurs
j day night the grim messenger claimed
j our respected citizen, SlMEON HILLIARD
I in his 75th year, who has resided on
! Fifth street for many years. The
I death was a great shock to our citizens
I —few realizing that his illness was of a
dangerous nature.
Deceased was born at St. George, N.
8., (his parents having moved from
Boston there), Feb. 13, 1833. He was
married to Miss Charlotte Spafford,
Oct. 25, 1857. Eight children were
born to this union, four having died in
infancy. The living children are
j Mary it, Jessie, (wife of B. L. Spence),
j Sarah and Alice, (wife of Jason B.
j Loucks. Mr. Hillyard came to Wil
| liamsport in 1865, going from that city
j in 1876 Jto Winterburn, where he en-
I gaged in his occupation of mill wright
| In 1883 he moved to Emporium and
j engaged with C. B. Howard & Sons, as
| mill-wright and remained with that
I firm until the shut down of the old
j mill, when he worked for the powder
| companies as carpenter—the last three
: years faithfully serving the Keystone
| Powder Co., up to within four weeks
j of his death.
Always industrious and saving he
I accumulated some means and invested
: the same in Emporium Powder Co.
i No citizen of Emporium was more
highly respected than our friend His
| word was as good as gold.
The First Baptist church, of which
! he had been a consistent member for
! over forty years, loses one of its main
pillars. When he came to Emporium
he brought his letter here and when
the society was organized he was one
jof the incorporators. He served as
Deacon up to the time of his death.
I He was a grand, good man and the
i writer hereof deeply deplores his
I demise, although it is to a peaceful,
better world. We shall remember his
! friendship as long as life lasts. His
■ bereaved, widow, now in her 81st year,
' and his devoted children can point
with pride to his spotless life.

DEATH OF HON. LEONARD
TAGGAHT.
I DMt.il has removed a prominent figure from
our midst. Hon. Leonard Taggart, who lias been
in (>oor health for several years, battled manful
ly to the l„st and his wonderful vitality sustained
him until last Friday, about one o'clock, when
he peacefully passed away, surrounded by his
faithful wife, children and near relatives. While
we attempt to place in print our impressions of
tins Irtend, whom we have known almost 41
years, our; thought* go back to the good old days
in Emporium when deceased wasthelifeofeverv
public gathering—business, social and political.
Our first recollection of Mr. Tsggart was in the
great political battle of 1868—he a man and we
not yet a voter—when we worked and battled for
the success of the G. O. P. lie then, in company
with J. P. lelt, conducted a drug store iu the
I helps Block. All through life we have been on
sopuil visiting terms, although we have, outing
the latter years, been wide apart political <v lie
taking strong sides, \vi>h the independent and
democratic party, while we have just as homstly
in our belie'ashe honestly pursued his course.
We enjoyed his visits, and many times enjov ed
an hour or so in "chewing matches" over fact
um* 1 questions, politically. "Leu" Taggat was
peculiar, and upon oceanons he ofien agreed
with us and upon our peculiar (?) political ideas
It is gratifying now, that be lias passed away,
that he believed we have honestly fought for
what we believed to be our duly as a Journalist
and a Republican. No larger hearted man ever
lived than lu and his well known honest inten
tions held his friends, who were legion, loval to
the last. The very large gathering of friends at
Ins funeral is n strong endorsement of his worth
as a citizen and friend. During the long years
that Mr. Taggart was identified with the busi
ness interests of this county, from the time of his
first venture to the day of hisdeath, he was fair
and honorable in every capacity,
Mr. Taggart took u lively interest, when his
healih permitted, in the material advancement
ofEmponum. He was one of the incorporators
of lie Kmporiuiu Powder MTpf < ompany and
was a director and Tresaurer at the time of his
death.
THE FUNEKAL.
The large and commodious residence, on
! Fourth street, where he passed so many years
I with his happy family, was the scene never'to be
forgotten. Hundreds of relatives and friends
I gathered there last Monday afernoon to honor
the dead and sympathize with the berea 1 fam
iiy. Friends from all sections of the co* li
ed personally to con vry their sympathy ie
! afflicted family. Promptly at three o'clock ~ie
I Masonic Lodge, the deceased having been t*
j member since 18G0, marched to the home in a
! body and took their places in the presence of the
' dead Brother, amidst brnked flowers, emblems,
j and set pieces in great profusion.
| Rev. J. F. Anderson, Pastor of M. K. Church
, delivered a short talk, which we produce entire
j viz:
j "Complying with the wishes of the
! friends the services will be brief. Our
| few remarks will be largely of a per
sonal character, reviewing somewhat
the life and labors of onr deceased
brother, with a few words to the
friends.
Leonard Taggart was born in Whar
ton, Potter county, Pa, in the year
1845. In the yoar 1846, when he was
but a year old his parents came to Em
! porium, which at that time consisted
j of only a few houses, and where he
ever afterward resided, covering a
, period of sixty-three years.
, In the year 1861, when but sixteen
| years old, he enlisted in the army, but
1 on account of physical disability was
j discharged a year later, only, however,
tore enlist in the year 1864 to continue
in the service of his country until the
close of the war, when he returned
home with an honorable discharge.
He was one of three brothers who serv
ed in the Union army during the Civil
: War, the other two sacrificing their
j lives to preserve the life of the nation,
I Samuel dying of wounds received in
the battle at Five Forks,and D. W., also
J dying in the army. In honor of this
| last named brother the Emporium
Post was named—The Lieutenant D.
| W. Taggart Post of the Grand Army of
I the Republic. So we see that our de
! ceased friend belonged to a family of
| pat riots, and died an honored member
j of this Post.
For a period of eight years he was
postmaster in this town, and also had
the distinction of having served one
term of two years in our state legisla
ture, which is evidi ice of the high
esteem in which he vas held by the
citizens of Cameron coi nty.
For five years lie superintended the
extensive lumber interests of Mr.
Goodyear, and was associated for some
time also with other gentlemen in the
lumber business. In the year 1886 he
engaged in the pharmacy business
in Emporium, continuing in the same
without interruption to the end of his
life.
One very commendable habit of his
life was to promptly take care of his
creditors. I was told by a business man
of the town that Mr. Taggart paid his
bills every Monday morning.
But while our friend was a patriot,
an honored citizen and a careful and
systematic business man, he was not so
wholly absorbed with the things of the
world as to have neglected interests of
higher character. Along with all
other duties he tried to do his duty to
God by living a religious life. When a
young man he connected himself with
the Presbyterian church and continued
a faithful member. In his church he
occupied for many years <he responsi
ble position of Sunday school superin
tendent. At the last communion ser
vice conducted by brother Johnston,
possibly two months since, he with
members of his family, received the
emblems commemorativo of our dying
Lord.
Iu the year 1872 he was married to
Helen M. Cole of Jersey Shore, and to
this union were born three children—
George Cole; Mrs. Byrd Leona Deike;
and Miss Flossie Faye; all of whom
with four grand-children are with us
to-day.
Around the dying bed of our brother
were gathered,wife, son and daughters
on last Friday, just after the meridian
of the das', when the live ebbed away
and the spirit took its departure to the
spirit world. All these witnessed the
peaceful departure of this man of God
—the departure of faithful husband »
kind and loving father.
God bless and sustain all these be
reaved ones and at last bring all home
to be reunited in our Father's house in
heaven."
Miss Grace Lloyd very sweetly sang a solo,
which was rendered very beautifully and im
pressively.
The following relatives and friends from out of
town were in attendance: Mr. and Mrs. (daugh
ter) J eike, Kittaniug, Pa.; Mr. Clarence Warns

A Great Success.
The Mountaineer Hose Company
Ball at the ooera house last evening was largely
attended and was voted one of the most pleasant
alfairs ever given in Emporium. The delightful
music by the Oermauia Orchestra, of Lock
Haven, was heartily applauded. They furnished
up-to-date music and plenty of it—and cheerfully
too. "The best ever here" was the verdictof the
dancers. The committeeare tobecongratulated
E. W. Gaskill
Severely Injured.
Lust evening, about seven o'clock,
while our popular citizen and friend, Mr. E. W.
Gaskill, general manager and treasurer of Key
stone I'owder Company, was walking over a R.
R. culvert, near the works, missed his footing,
falling to the creek bed, a distance of ten or more
feet, head foremost, severely cutting his head
and spraining his back. His son Willis, who was
with him, called for help and removed the injur
ed father to the home of Walter Gibbs, at the
same time'phoned for Dr. Smith, who hastened
to the injured man and found his head severely
cut and bruised and back sprained. The Dr.
is still in attendance this morning and reports to
the PRESS that while Mr. Gaskill is severely In
jured he hopes by careful care to bring him out
all right.
Mr. Gaskill is manager and treasurer of the
Keystone Powder Co., and has daily for years
passed up and down the railroad and this is the
first mishap.
The accident caused much anxiety on the part
of the many friends of the injurred gentleman.
We sincerely hope he may rapidly recover, for
Cameron county needs Everet W. Gaskill.
Painfully Injured.
Chas. Jones, who resides on Portage
street, met with an accident last Satur
day that at the time seemed triflle, out
now is causing him great pain and
anxiety. While visiting in F. D. Leet's
law office he picked up an old revolver
and while handli .g the gun it dis
charged, the ball entering the left
hand, between the joints. Dr. Bush
was called and probed for the small
ball but thus far has failed to locate it,
the X-ray eveti proven frnitless. The
Dr. informs us that he does not consid
er the gentleman in danger of further
complication, even should the hall not
be fund. We hope our friend may re
cover from the injury promptly.
