Some of the boys are telling a good
snake story on Henry Grubbs, which we
give for wbat it is worth. A few days
ago while driving a mowing machine for
G. E. Qerow, on the John Fitzgerald
farm, near Hunter Statiou, tbe machine
clipped the head off a big copperhead
snake. Shortly after this while running
tbe same machine on one of tbe Islands
near that place be discovered another
big copperhead. Getting out bis whip be
hurried the borses, caught up with the
snake and cut off its fail after three trips
around tbe field, and on making three
more trips cut off its bead. Now that's
surely "going some," even for snake
story, and Henry says there's more ways
of killing a snake than with a club.

RECENT DEATHS.
CANFIELD.
Samuel Sbelton Canfield waa born In
West Falls, N. Y Dec. 3, 1845, and died
at tbe home of his daughter, Mrs. G. T,
Anderson, Id Tionesta, Pa., at 8:30 a. m.,
July 26, 1009. He was a son of S. 8. and
Lucy A. (Gouchls) Canfield, both de
ceased. When the clouds of the Civil war
settled over our couutry our subject was
engaged In farming. He was but 17
years of age when be was enrolled Deo. 2,
1862, as a private In Co. II, 100th N. Y,
V. L, 1st Brig., 1st Dl v., 24th A. C, and
before the close of service on the field of
battle bad attained the rank of sergeant.
At the first charge on Ft. Wagner be was
wounded In tbe back by grape shot, for
which be was treated in tbe field hospital
one month; be was again wounded at
Drewry's Bluff through the right thigh
by a minie ball; be waa taken to tbe hos
pital at Point Lookout two months, and
then at Buffalo till March 1, 1865. Passed
a general inspection at Richmond, Va.,
through company, brigade, division and
corps, and was granted a thirty day fur
lough for being nearest a model soldier
of bis command, and received a recom
mend from general down to captain, wbo
were all inspecting officers; instead of
going borne be acted as sergeant over
provost guard uutil granted his honorable
discharge Aug. 28, 1805. He took pan In
tbe siege ol Ft. Wagner, Bermuda Hun
dred, Drewry's Bluff and several others;
bis record during those trying years of
carnage and dlcaiter was one of which
to be proud. His brother James also
served In tbe war and ne' er returned.
July 22, 1806, In Venango county, Mr.
Canfield was united In marriage with
Mita Mary A. Johnson, a native of Glas
gow, Scotland, who survives bim. Nine
children were born to this unloo, 'seven
of whom survive, as follows: C. J. Can
field and Katharine, wife ofG. T. Ander
son, of Tionesta; Lucy A., wife of Frank
R. Thomson, of North Baltimore, Ohio;
Harry S., of West Hickory; Jeannette,
wife of Harry U. Bruner, of Oil City;
Minnie, wife of Fred. C. Davis, aud Miss
Maud, of Tionesta.
For several years after bis marriage
Mr. Canfield lived on Oil Creek, while
that region waa still one of tbe active
centers of the oil Industry, and about the
year 1880 be moved to Tionesta, having
just previous to that date spent a year or
so at Tylersburg. Shortly after locating
in tbe borough lie established himself in
tbe livery business, achieving marked
success In that line by bis energy, perse
verance and close attention to business.
Health failing him he disposed of bis
business about three years ago and bad
since lead a retired life. During his long
residence In Tionesta he grew in popu
larity with bis neighbors and bad been
repeatedly honored with election to local
offices, baying held the offices of consta
ble, collector, assessor, and justice of tbe
peace, resigning the latter office when
overtaken by illness. Since its organi
zation be had been an active member of
Capt. Geo. Stow Post, No. 274, G. A. R.
He was also a member of tbe M. E.
church of Tionesta.
About three years ago be was attacked
by kidney trouble and for a time bis life
was despaired of, but he rallied in a
measure and friends hoped for his recov'
ery alter being operated upon. Tbe re'
lief was only temporary, however, and
about a year ago be went to see tbe cele'
brated Mayo brothers at Rochester,
Minn., and was there operated upon and
again afforded temporary relief. He was
tenderly cared for at tbe borne of bis
daughter, where everything possible was
done to make bis last days on earth
peaceful and comloi table, Death came
suddenly and unexpectedly. He had
gone to the bathroom and returned Unas
sisted to his bedroom, while his daughter
bad goue to prepare bim a light breakfast.
Being attracted by an unusual souud she
hurried (o bim, but life had fled. The
unequal battle which tbe veteran had
bravely waged for months was ended,
and bad gone against him.
Mr. Canfield was by nature one of the
most genial and kindly of men, big
hearted aud liberal, always ready to lend
a helping band to a follow mortal and
those In want or distress, as many can
testify who baye known of bis quiet
benefactions.
