BLACK.
Daniel Black, a former well known
citizen of Forest county, died at bis home
in Jamestown, N. Y., where be bad been
resident for a number of years, Friday
night, Feb. 11, 1910. Mr. Black was born
In A rmstrong oounty, Pa. He formerly
resided at Black's Corners, Clarion coun
ty, where be was united In marriage with
Miss Mary Greenewalt, who survives
blm, together with the following child
ren: P. J. Black, of Pine Grove, W. Va.;
Mrs. Mary E, Wiles, of Tlonesta town
ship; Jerry Black, of Warren; Mrs. Her
bert Norton and Mrs. Blanche Cross, of
Jamestown. Mr. Black was a member
ol Co. E. or the famous old 10th Pennsyl
vania Reserves, which was raised largely
through the efforts or the late Col, John S.
McCaltnont, who left the Judicial bench
in the Venaugo-Clarion-Jefferson district
to aid his country in tbe war, who de
clared that it was his duty to fight for the
old flag, as he had been educated at West
Point. Comrade Black enlisted as a pri
vate May 15, 1861, and rose to tbe rank of
sergeant. He was one of Judge McCal-
tnonts's first recruits, and served faith
fully with that glorious old regiment un
til discharged Aug. 22, 1802, by reason of
serious wounds. He was wounded in
battle two or three times and was well
entitled to he called "a war scarred veter-
au" He bore the marks or bis devotion to
bis country on bis face, being as bis
friends remember, "powder blown,"
marks which he carried until bis death.
He was the principal promoter of the
organization of Capt. Geo. Stow Post, and
consequently one of the origiual charter
members when It was organized, Aug. 9,
1882. Until in tact the lufirmlties of age
prevented, be was a constant attendant at
its meetings, and tbe Post meetings he
always looked forward to with delight.
Mr Black had been a resident of Tlonesta
and vicinity for many years, bis last
residence being on bis farm on Smoky
Hill, Tlonesta township. He filled the
office of Treasurer of Forest county dur
ing tbe years of 1867-'G9, and beld many
township offices In later years. He built
the Forest House and managed it for
many years. This building is now tbe
property of F, C. Proper, JubI opposite
tbe court house. He was a good citizen
and bad many friends; was ever good to
the poor and unfortunate. During the
last years of bis life he waj sadly alllicted
with blindness. He was aged about 86
years. Funeral services were held Tues
day morning in Jamestown, the inter
ment being made there.
K1LLMKK.
William Killmer, one ol the oldest and
most respected residents of Tlonesta,
died at his home at four o'clock Saturday
morning, February 12, 1010, from the re
sult or a stroke or apoplexy which he
sustaiuod about two months ago.
Mr. Killmer was born lu Rauda, lies
son Cassel.uow llesseu Nassau, Germauy
March 30, 1825. He was the sou of Henry
aud Margaret (Isenteager) Killmer, who
reared three sous and three daughters,
all or whom lived to adult age, but or
whom the subject of this sketch was tbe
last survivor. He attended school until
be was 14 years of age, and then was con
firmed In the German Reformed church
and beld to that faith during bis life, but
for a number of years has been an attend
ant of the Presbyterian church of Tlo
nesta. In his youth he learned the trade
of a shoemaker and had no superiors as a
workman, especially as a maker of boots,
aud only relinquished active work about
a year ago. Upon reaching his majority
be was drawn for service in the army aud
served in the famous cavalry troop at the
King's court, a maguitiueut body of
stalwart men, always selected for their
stature and strength, the most perfect
physical types to be found in Germany,
Of this troop of cavalry, the personal
guard and escort of the King, Mr. Kill
mer was noted as oue or the liuest spec!
mens, Mr, Killmer's father was Burgo
master of his native village. In 1852 Mr.
Killmer and bis brother Henry left their
native land and came to this country,
They made tbe voyage from Bremen to
Baltimore, Md., by sailing vessel, in
thirty-niue days; then coming to Tlo
nesta, where they joined Jacob Wenk,
whom they bad known in Germany.
There mother was sad over their depart
ure and declared she never would again
see them alive. Her sorrow at the de
parture of the sons possibly hastened her
demise, which occurred in 1853. Decem
ber 19, 1852, William Killmer was united
in marriage with Miss Anna Catherine
Matba, who was also from Germany, and
who died June 22, 1872. To them were
born nine children, of whom live are now
living, Miss Mary, who is at home, Mrs.
Philip Williams, William F., Charles J.,
and George II. Killmer, all of Tlonesta.
Four grandchildren also survive, all of
whom reside In Tlonesta, except Clyde
Murphy, who resides in Youngstown,
Ohio.
Funeral services were held at his late
borne Monday afternoon at 2:30, conduct
ed by Rev. II. A, Bailey, assisted by Revs.
W. O. Calbnun and K. L. Monroe. In
terment was made in Riverside cemetery.
An old friend furnishes this tribute to
bis memory: "He was German born and
was reared to manhood in tbe land he
loved so well. Attended tbe schools of
bis native laud and it must be said be im
proved bis opportunities. But while he
always loved the laud of bis fathers, be
loved the people ol bis adopted land and
became as good a citizen as if be had been
born in America. In the 58 years of time
that he dwelt among us he clasped hands
with a host of friends and drew to him
self their love and confidence. He was a
great reader, being particularly well
versed in tbe history of Germany Irom
tbe foundation ol that empire until the
present time. A lew years ago he reread
to the knowledge of tbe writor the great
historian Schiller's "History of the Thirty
Years' War," with which he was very
familiar. He took a great Interest also in
the history of bis adopted country, with
which be was surprisingly familiar, noted
the improvements of the times, and was
perhaps, as well versed In the current
events of tbe times as any man in Forest
county. His memory was excellent,
both of dates and circumstances, and be
was frequently referred to by persons
desiring Information, These qualities of
mind drew to him men high in tbe walks
of life and be numbered among his
friends such men as Hon, Wm, P. Jf nks,
Hon. Harry. White, Hon. W. M. I.ind
sey, Hon. Christopher Ueydrick, aud
many other noted men. His familiar
figure for over half a century will be
missed by a large circle of acquaintances
bere and elsewhere. Such a man will be
remembered for many years to come by
the public and his decendants. He was
broad minded and liberal, and above all
was absolutely bluest in all things. He
had the ability to see tbe right and tbe
courage to do bis duty always."
Found Dead by His Wife.
James Birtcil, aged 50 years, a pumper
on the Blank farm oil lease, between
Pithole and Pleasantville, was found
dead by his wile Tuesday afternoon, with
his bead crushed. He bad gone out to
clear the snow from a rod line which
furnished power for pumping a number
of wells and in some way fell into a mul
tiplier. His bead was crushed to a pulp.
He leaves seven children.
