died July 7, 1890, in the 42d year of
his age. Consumption was the cause
of his death, brought on partly by
hereditary tendencies perhaps, and

tigue. The deceased filled regular
work for several years, his last charge
being at Clarington, from which ho
came home to die. He rests from bis
labors, and bis works do follow him.

stricken with paralysis, iu the midst

Killed by a Falling Tree.
George Ittel, one of the older resi
dents of Barnett township, lost his life
by the falling of a tree on Thursday
of last week, July 31, 1890. He was
hauling logs to the Cooksburg mills,
aod while on his way with a load, a
storm came up, during which, as is
surmised, a small birch tree was blown
over and struck him on the bead and
shoulder crushing both, and killing
him perhaps instantly. No one was
near him at tho tiaio, aud it might
have beeu several hours before the
accident was discovered had it not
been for his failure to arrive at his
home for dinner at the usual hour.
The family waited until nearly one
o'clock, and then began to investigate
the cause of his coutinued absence,
when the horrible discovery of the ac
cident was made. It is supposed from
the nature of his injuries that death
was instantaneous, and that he never
knew what struck him.
Mr. Ittel was a brother of our former
townsman, M. Ittel, and was known
and respected in his neighborhood as
an industrious, houest man, very much
esteemed by all who knew him. He
was aged about 54 years, and leaves a
wife and three children, besides a large
circle of friends to mourn his tragic
death. The funeral took place on
Saturday last, the remains being
followed to the grave by a large con
course of people.

OBITUARY.
William A. Duienbury.
The announcement of the death of
William A. Dusnnbury will boa pain
ful surprise to a large part of the citi
r.enehip of this section of country.
After an illness lasting scarcely a
week, he was cslled from earth at his
home in Tidioute, Pa., on Monday
afternoon, Aug. 4, 1890. Though io
poor health for a month or more past
from sciatic rheumatism, he was not
obliged to take his bed until about one
week prior to his death, when the dis
ease suddenly became alarming, going
to bis head and causing brain fever,
from which the best medical skill
could not relieve him.
For nearly a quarter of ft century
Mr. Duseobury had been a central
figure in the business interests of this
county, having located at Newtown
Mills in 1867, where as a member of
the extensive lumbering firm of
Wheeler & Dusenbury almost the
whole of bis business life was spent,
he having but just attained his major
ity when he began thcro a career
which has ever been an honor to him
and the community of which he was
an honored and respected member.
His rare business capacity, shrewd
management and upright dealings with
his fellowmao, won him both fortune
and friends, and none of our success
ful business meo ever enjoyed the con
fidence of the people in greater
measure than he. Intelligent and
jovial he was a gentleman whose com
pany was always agreeable, and with
whom it was ever a pleasure to meet
ant! converse. About one year ago be
moved with his family to Tidioute in
order that his children might have the
advantage of the schooling at that
place, and for the further reason that
the lumbering interests of the firm at
Newtown had reached that point where
his whole attention was not required.
The taking off of such a man is a se
rious and positive loss to our commu
nity in many ways, and he will in con
sequence be greatly missed from the
ranks of our solid citizenship.
Mr. Dusenbury ws aged about 46
years, and leaves ft wife and three
children. His remains will be taken
to Portville, N. Y., the place of his
nativity, for interment.
Mrs. Helen S. Thomas.
From the Franklin Evening New
we take the following sketch of the
late Mrs. Thomas, the writer of which
being particularly well equipped for
the production of a true account of
this cxcelleut lady:
"Mis. Helen S. Thomas was tho
youngest daughter of Rev. Hezekiah
and Margaret (White) May. She was
born in 1817 at Owego, N. Y., at
which place her father was then sta
tioned as Presbyterian minister by the
New England Society for the Propa
gation of the Guspel.
"Rev. Mr. May removed with his
family to Frauklio, where he preached
for a time, and then located in what is
now Forest county, purchasing from
John Range, a Revolutionary soldier,
a part of the land on which the town
of Tiouesta now stands. The May
family consisted of four sons and three
daughters, of whom ouly the oldest,
Benjamio, of Norristown, is now liviDg,
William W. May died in his youthful
prime, April, 1851. II. Huntington
May died in Tionesta in 1882, and
Selden T. May in Norristown, Pa., in
1886.
"The Tionesta home of the May
family was for ft long period the centre
of hospitality that embraced an ac
quaintance extending far and wide,
The visiting friend or stranger found
there a dignity and courtesy that dis
tinguished the household and enlarged
Us social connections from year to
year. Much of the charm cf its hos
pitality was due to the daughters of
the household Hannah W., who mar
lied Richard Irrin, of Franklin;
Mary Anna, who married John Lamb,
both now deceased ; and Helen, the
subject of this sketch. Until failing
health and growing years interfered,
Helen maintained the hospitality and
social charm for which the family was
so favorably knowo.
"Io 18G5 she married Col. P. D.
Thomas, who came from Chester coun
ty, Pa , and engaged in the oil business,
locating at Tionesta. He was the
State Senator from the Clarion-Forest
district in 1876 7, and died Feb. 5,
1878. Mrs. Thomas resided at Tio
nesta frura her girlhood to the time of
her death. That community and
large circle of friends elsewhere will
lament ber death and bold her in re
spectful memory.
"Mrs. Thomas was an active Chris
tian, a devoted and steadfast member
of the Presbyterian Church from ber
youth. She was especially interested
iu the cause of Foreigu Missions, and
her work in that cause was so effective
as to call the special attention of the
Synods to Tionesta. With a siocerity
of purpose worthy of her New Eug
land ancestry, she maintained her act
ive interest iu the church work to the
last."
The funeral services of Mrs. Thomas.
held at 4:30 P. M. on Friday, were a
fittiug finale to useful and respected
life. They were held in the Presby
terian Church, the sanctuary which
had been dear to her in life and whose
courts she loved to frequent. At the
bead of the casket, which rested in
front of the pulpit, was a large floral
tribute, and loving hands had adorned
the pulpit with flowers inwoven with
smilax.
The services were conducted by Rev.
J. V. McAninch, the pastor. His re
marks were based on Rev. xiv. 13:
"Blessed are the dead which die in the
Lord. Yen, saith the Spirit, that tber
may rest from their labors; and their
wotks do follow them." Hisdiscourso
was a just and sincere tribute from the
heart. While he voiced the sentiment
of the congregation on assemblage
which filled the church and was com
posed of all ages and conditions in the
community, and the viciuity it was
fell by all that Mr. McAninch was
deeply moved by ft sense of personal
loss, having been an inmate of Mrs.
Thomas' household for more than a
year, aod having learned to regard the
deceased with an almost filial affection.
During the services a choir consist
ing of Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Dingman,
Dr. F. T. Nason, Mr. F. W. Law,
Misses Florence Klinestiver and Ar
ietta Robinson and Mrs. J. B. Agnew,
rendered appropriate music. Among
the selections beautifully given were:
"Jesus, Lover of my Soul ;" "Lead,
kindly Light," and "I would not live
alway." At the grave, as the casket
was about to be lowered from mortal
sight, and the sunset shed a gentle
sweetness and light over the scene in
the peaceful place of burial, the choir
sang touchingly, "My Jesus, as thou
wilt."
The following citlzons acted as pall
bearers: Messrs. Jos. G. Dale, Geo.
W. Bovard, John A. Proper, Geo. W.
Robinson, Samuel II. Haslet and
Capt. C. W. Clark.
Beside the concourse present from
the town and vicinity, were the follow
ing relatives from a distance: Benj.
May, of Norristown, Pa., the venerable
brother of the deceased and the sole
survivor of the original family ; Hon.
II. S. and Mrs. Bates, bf Titusville;
Mrs. Helen I. Heydrick and daughter,
Helen ; Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Bleakley
and daughters, Anna, Margaret and
Evelyn ; II. M. Irwin and sons, Rich
ard and Hiram; Miss Hannah G. Ir
win and Mrs. Ed. Bleakley, of Frank
lin ; Miss Sarah Lamb, Mr. aud Mrs.
Alfred Lamb and David Lamb, of
Pleasantville.
Io the final adjustment of her af
fairs, Mrs. Thomas was mindful of the
cause which had always engaged her
active sympathy and aid. She left
ber personal property, amounting to
several thousand dollars, aud also the
bulk of her real estate, to the Board
of Foreign Missious.
Thomas L. Pownall.
Died, at tho rc.sidcuco of R. Ilrown, In
Uickory twp., at about 8 a. in., Aug. ad,
1890, Thomas Lake Pownall, aged 3o years,
7 mouths, and 17 days.
Deceased possessed wonderful enduring
qualities. On Wednesday, July 30, he
was at work in the harvest-Held and waa
overcome with heat, which resulted In
brain fovcr, and from tho tlrst was beyond
medical aid, which was promptly sum
moned. Rev. II. Rhodes proachod an el
oquent discourse on the occasion from
theso worda, "The righteous have hope in
II is death."
The earthly remains were laid to rest in
the Mt. Zion Evangelical Cemetery, on
German Hill, Aug. 4, at 3 p. in., to await
the resurrection morn.
The aged father and two surviving sis
ters have the most earnest sympathies of
all in this another hour of sad bereave
ment. May the Lord sustain them.

Jenks Twp. Notes.
Junks Township has 24 mills of
different kinds, aud 2 in process of
building. The one by . Haskell and
Leeper, aud the other by Campbell,
Ritts it Co., on Salmon Creek. The
former firm is composed of the well
known lumbermen Cbas. Leeper and
Porter Haskell, of Clarion county, aud
the latter by J. C. Campbell, C. W.
Amsler, E. Amsler, R. P. Rickenbrode
of Marienville, and J. V. Ritts of St
Petersburg. The twp. has 22 mer
cantile establishments, 2 livery stables,
1 machine shop, 3 meat markets, 4
blacksmiths, 3 barbers, 5 hotels, 1
shoemaker, 7 school rooms, 3 churches,
15 hoardiug bouses, 3 doctors, 1 un
dertaker, 5 secret and fraternal socie
ties, 450 voters, aud part of the P. &
V. It. Li., whose truius are never on
time.
The water supply owing to the dry
weather is very short aud some of it
impure, this with carelessuess aod un
cleanliness in some parts of the twp,
and particularly in Marienville, has
occasioned some cases of typhoid fever,
George Stanley died ot this disease on
the 1st inst. Rev. Faroat is laid up
with the dregs of "Bradford fever"
and nervous prostration.
John Gleoiug had one finger too
many, so he ran it in the band saw at
Blauchard's mill ; uot succeeding well
in that way, Dr. Towler finished up
the job, and Jack is minus one fore-
trnger.
Percy Leech, who was so badly in
jured on Morrison's mill, is able to sit
up in bed.
Allan I limes, whose sickness has
caused considerable anxiety, is pulling
up in good shape the last few days.
Fred. Heard lore bis hand on the
saw at Graybill's mill ; Dr. Towler
dressed it aod next day Fred went to
bed with fever ; he says it was real
kind in providence to lay him olT with
the two thiogs at one time, iustead of
two lay ofls as usually happens.
J. C. Confer's baby died suddenly
of convulsions, and be has the sympa
thy of the commuuily.
Capt. Harry Tracy and F. R. Pier
of Bradford, are in town, expecting to
locate au oil venture on their lands.
Tha extract works in process of
erection on Millstone creek, south of
town, are a credit to the company, to
Marienville and the county. The
main building or leach house is
210 ft.x24, boiler houio 66x44, con
taining eight 60 horse power boilers;
pan house 30x30; cooper shop 24x48;
barreling house 30x40; bark mill
16x24, besides oflice, stables, sheds,
etc. The work is being done in first
class shape and when buildings are
completed will employ 50 men and
consume 10,000 cords of bark per
year.
Slull & Graybill, the enterprising
merchants and mill men, are erecting
fine store room on Cherry Street.
II. Hensil has also began a hardware
store room on the next lot.
George Brown, of borso shoe fame,
is putting himself up a house, and
also large smith-shop on same street.
J. II. Morrison, also on same street, is
laying foundation for a dwelling.
'Squire Butterfield, the oldest man
in the county, and our only gentleman
of leisure, (that is not in the sense of
laziness, but the only man of all the
inhabitants, who can lay back and tell
jokes and not caro whether bark peels
well or not, or oats are short, or the
potato crop poor) is on the streets
every day bracing somebody up with
a good story.
Aaron Brockway, who comes next
on the list, can still knock the spots
off any man in the twp. on a Tionesta
trip on foot. Acron is 85 years of
age, and delights in telling how, the
first time be missed Tionesta court for
12 years, Judge Brown not seeing him,
gravely shook his head, aud said : "I
doubt if it is legal to open this court
without the presence of Mr. Brock-
way." Another story of the old gen
tleman's, and a good one, is on a
former board of Commissioners of the
couuty. Brockway was collector, tbo
couuty funds running low and court
iu session. The Commissioners were
urging the collectors to "get up and
get," when Brockway, who prided him
self on his promptness iu getting in
his duplicates, rose iu his wrath and
fucing the Board said sternly: "Gen
tlemen, have ye paid your own taxes?
I guess ye ain't and we'll commence
ou you." He says the only one of the
office who laughed was Jim Brennan.
Stephen Burnett, Esq., of Youngs
town, O., was up this fishing season as
usual with him for the last 45 years.
He is 87 years of age, and out-walked
and out fished two visiting sports three
successive days. If the present list of
candidates on the first editorial page
can run as well as these old men can
walk they will get there in great shape,
and I guess tbey will.

An old gentleman was disturbed the
other night by what he thought was a
T. cat couccrt and energetically fluog
a big boot from his window io the di

thud," (as reporters put it) ho discov

Silence has reigned at the midnight
