“the remains of four of his children lie

On November 2, 1879, Mr. Moser was
united in marriage with Ellen Berkley,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Perry Berk-
ley. The young couple took up house
keeping on her fathers farm in Summit
Township, and which was located near
the Fritz church. Here they were en-
gaged in farming for 9 years. From
here they moved to Elk Lick Township

them from Jonas Lichty. Here they
built a new barn and spent 40 years in
the successful operation of this farm,

the railroad proposition again.
Township feeling that they had en-
ough of this railroad stuff have pledg-
ed themselves to try again to get a
road where it would benefit the most
of them and be of the least expense
to the township. Some people are
very prompt in trying to tell people
that a road between the railroads
would not cost the township anything
but if they would stop to figure a
short minute they would see that the
railroad and county are only doing
the grading and how in the world can
Larimer township furnish money and
move all the stone and material into
this out of the way place when it has
been talked around that they cannot
finance their portion of a road over
the old route where the stone are
practically lying beside the road.
The present route cannot be closed
and if the road is built between the
tracks Larimer township will have
two roads to keep up instead of one
over practically the same route. It
looks as though some people are try-
inig very hard to aid Larimer town-
ship in her road program by heaping
more expense on the heads of the tax-
payers.
Larimer Township has never inter-
ferred with the road programs of
other townships or boroughs but it
seems we have been offered a lot of
help lately and most of it from places
where they do not seem to be able to
attend to their own troubles as they
should be. They have tried to force
on Larimer Township a proposition
that would take away the rights of a
lot. of the citizens and taxpayers of
the township. It seems that Larimer
Township has enough troubles of her
own without borrowing some more
from the railroad company and other
sources.
Our road: supervisors have been
asked by some citizens of a nearby
town and two of them have complied
with that request to offer the B. & O.
R. R. Co. the privilege of taking away
the overhead bridge at Sandpatch for
a small consideration to be applied on
the road between the railroads and
thereby depriving those citizens and
taxpayers living on the northside of
the railroad any outlet whatever to
the proposed road and also making
