THE DEATH LIST
CITIZENS OF THE VALLEY WHO
HAVE PASSED AWAY.
Howard Fetterolf, tenant on a farm
{ about two and one-half miles east of
lc entre Hall, died on Monday fore-
noon, after a severe and lingering ill-
ness. His death was caused by cancer,
which first made its appearance on his
lower lip, last summer, and spread
over his chin and throat. His suffer-
ings at times were great, until death
came to his relief. He leaves a widow,
three and two daughters to]
mourn his demise.
Mr. Fetterolf was an upright
in every sense of the word, and
gave any one cause of offense by word
or deed—his life was that of a true |
Christian, and he was a consistent |
member of the Lutheran church.
His age was about forty-three years. |
Several years ago he was a citizen of
Mifflin county, and then removed on |
to the Emerick farm just east of this
place. The community deeply sym-

THE OLD BUCKWHEAT NOTES,
The Notes and Singing in Vogue a Quarter
Century Ago.
Many of the singers of thirty years
back remember the old ‘buckwheat
notes,” which have since died out, or
rather have been crowded out by the
present round note science of music,
In the days of the old “‘buckwheaters,’
singings were enjoyable winter gath-
erings for the young in Centre, Union,
Snyder and all other counties, and
singing classes were as plenty as buck-
wheat cakes, and the fun of 'em called
together crowds every night, when
there was good sleighing, from all the
country five or six miles around.

HALE AND HEARTY AT 90.
John Hamilton is a Survivor of the Early
Days of the Century,
On April 4, 1805, John Hamilton, of
Bellefonte, will celebrate his 91st
birthday, and for preservation of man-
hood to such a good old age, he has
not a superior in the state. Ninety
years old, as he is, he still superin-
tends the operation of a farm he owns
adjoining Bellefonte, driving five
miles every clear day to oversee the
work, often walking several miles over
his farm, and, in addition, transacts
all his own business.
Mr. Hamilton is the oldest resident
of Bellefonte, having been born and
lived there all his life. His wife is a
great-grand-daughter of Gen. Benner,
of revolutionary war fame, who in his
day owned thirty-two farms and the
Rock Forge iron works. Mr. Hamil-
ton tells some remarkable experiences |
of his early life.
In those days there were rail-
roads, or even canals or stage routes, |
no
car- |
horses
ried to Pittsburg on pack
| about 300 pounds to the horse. Iron |
at that time was worth $100 per ton, |
and was paid for in gold and silver, |
{ which was brought back in saddle
| bags, often in large quantities, It was]
customary in later years to haul dry|
goods from Philadelphia to Pittsburg |
in wagons, and take back flour in ex-|
change. Wheat at that time was |
| worth $1 per bushel and wages were :
[$18 to $25 per month. At that time |
| half of Bellefonte was a wilderness, | |
{ while Indians still roamed the sur-|
rounding forests, There were no car-
| ringes. People then rode horse-back, |
| and went to church under difficulties |
| ~often walking eight miles barefooted, |
| carrying their shoes and stockings,
which they would put on just before
| entering the church.
Mr. Hamilton is a familiar figure on
| the streets of Bellefonte every day. |
| He is as well preserved and healthy as |
| the average man of sixty, and bids
| fair to live to be a centenarian,

smokehouses the doors of which are
supplied with stout padlocks and leath-
