Jt MOTOREY EC E AND FORD CAR COLLIDE. Edward Verbeck, of Reedsville, in Bellefonte Hospital Suffering from Mangled Limbs and Burns. T he most disastrous auto wreck to oc- cur in this vicinity in a long while hap- pened on Sunday afternoon, below Old Fort, when a motorcycle and a touring car collided. The result was that Ed. ward Verbeck, aged about forty years, was badly injured and burned on his right leg and on both arms. The left leg below the knee was so badly crushed that amputation of the limb may yet be necessary. The Reporter will not undertake to say just how the accident happened, but will give a few facts. In the side car with Mr. Werbeck was Ward Nearhood, also of Reedsville. The pair were com- ing from Spring Mills toward Old Fort, and the Ford car, driven by Herman Confer, a discharged service man, from Millheim, accompanied by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Confer, were going in the opposite direction. The collision occurred at a point below the Runkle farm, It was with considerable difficulty that Mr, Verbeck was released, his clothing having taken fire. The leg- gings were first ripped with a knife and after considerable effort the man was re- leased from the machine and the burned clothing removed, Meanwhile a telephone message had been sent to Dr. H. H. Longwell, who soon reached the scene and gave such relief as was possible to the suffering man. The party then proceeded to the Bellefonte hospital, - It was reported that the Ford car failed to stop and render aid, but that is untrue, A —————— A ——— C. D. Runkle Dead.

Center Hall has been a town slow of growth ; pot like some of the western towns that grow up like a mushroom, almost in one night, After the hotel and store were fairly started, the place began to improve ; one house after an- other was built but never more than a half-dozen in one year. The first house built in the upper end of town is the one now owned by Mr. Dauberman. The next was the Lutheran parsonage, built in 1853-54. The first minister who lived in it was a middle-aged man by the name of Rothruff. It was customary at this time for the people to attend church at Tusseyville, as there was no church here. The Re- formed and Lutherans used the same church and used it alternately. Half of the ‘preaching was in Pennsylvama Dutch since most of the people were Dutch, but it soon ran out. All who wished to attend church had to go five hard-working people, and tired when Sunday came, they could sleep while the preaching was going on. Finally, it was decided to build a church in Centre Hall, and the Reformed. people being the strongest both numerically and f- nancially, a Reformed church was built on the corner of the lot where the ceme- tery now is. The Lutherans, until they were able to build a church of their own, used the Reformed church and paid $8 a year rent, one-half the sexton's fee, and found their own light and fuel, The first Lutheran church here was built in 1862-63 on the lot now owned by the McClenahan family, on Church Bt,, but a Reformed church was the first to be built in Centre Hall. It was seventy. three years since this town was started, and today we have five good churches, An old gentleman from New York, who frequentty visited this place, remarked that he could see no more thrifty enter. prise going on than church building.
