Tunkhannock, Sweel)
Pioneer Resident
tive Worker In Methodist
Seminary Student
/
on Saturday of last week there died
at the home of her daughter in Orange,
N. J.,, a woman whose life for more
than three-quarters of a century was
closely associated with the back moun-
tain region and with the Methodist
church throughout Wyoming Valley.
Esther Pugh Crosby was born 192
years ago in Plymouth, the last of 11
children born to the late Rev. and Mrs.
Samuel Pugh. Her father on many oc-
casions preached in the historic olld
church which still stands in Forty Fort
‘cemetery. - Had she lived until August
12, Mrs. Crosby. would have been 93
years of age.
‘From early girlhood she showed an
active interest in the work of ‘the
church and maintained that interest as
long as she lived even after the in-
firmities of old age made it necessary
for her to relinquish: any active par-
ticipation in church work.
“Her early education was received in
the public schools, later she attended
Wyoming Seminary studying under the!
Nelson. At the close of her
junior year she married William Cros-
by and made her home in Forty Fort.
She was until her death probably the
oldest living Seminary student.
At Forty Fort Mrs. Crosby oRtitned
her interest in church work. She early
became associated with the W. C. T.
U., of which she was the oldest mem-
ber. She taught Bible classes and at
one time had a large class of young
women, For a term of years she was
postmistress at Forty Fort when that}
community had its own postoffice and]
was not under the jurisdiction of the |
Wilkes-Barre office.
Later when her husband's health
failed the family meved to a farm on
Bowman's Creel, now ~as |
7 1 . she conducted
the postoffice and her husband entered
the store business. To them twelve}
children were born, four of whom are
now living.
The family lived at Bowman's Creek
for eighteen years. While there Mrs.
Crosby continued her active work in
the ¢éhurch and it was largely due to
her indominable spirit and hard work,
assisted by Carolyn Major and other
church workers, that the M. E. church
at Noxen was built and furnished.
After the death of her husband
thirty years ago, Mrs. Crosby returned
to Forty Fort and there made her
home until failing health necessitated
the breaking up of her home, seven
years ago.
Until two weeks prior to the illness
which ended her life, Mrs. Crosby had
been in fair health except for failing
eyesight. Her mind was as alert as
that of much younger persons and she
could recall easily the incidents of her
early girlhood in Wyoming Valley.
The funeral services were held Tues-
day afternoon at Forty Fort M. E.
church. Interment in the family plot
in Forty Fort cemetery just back of
the old church where she attended ser-
vies as a girl.

‘Trucksville Man Opposes The
Court's Distribution Of
Proprietor’s Fund
A
bid
%
From 4 to 6 o'clock Thursday after-
neon, June 18, Judges W. S. McLean,
OAD. Coughlin, J. S. Fine and W. A.
Valentine; sitting as a court in banc,
heard argument on the legality of a
rey int decision by Judge McLean dis-
tributing $141,000 held by the trustees
for Kingston township proprietors
among several school districts in the
| original township.
The court decree was sustained by a
Lmajerily vote of the propr ietors.
Charles D. Hazeltine, of Trucksville,
voted against the distribution and took
exceptions to the court decision. He
was represented at the argument by
Attorney Mitchell Jenkins, who held
the court action distributing the fund
was illegal, that the original fund or
property was to be held to support the
ministry and * schools, that it was a
charitable bequest and the fund, there-
fore, could not he distributed. He held
/
ie fund among the school districts,
was unconstitutional.
Attorneys T. F. Farrell, W. P. Brew-
ster, R. B. Sheridan, G. J. Clark and
A. Gordon presented briefs and
made arguments in support of Judge
McLean's daeree.
The fund was originally formed un-
der an act of March 30, 1822, when
land values were comparatively low.
Coal was discovered under some of the
land and was mined by Lehigh Valley
Coal Co. Suit was brought against the
company by the trustees and a $155,000
verdict was secured.
The legislature passed an act author-
izing the fund be distributed among
the school districts formed from the
original territory, and Judge McLean
made a decree directing a distribution
of the fund, which had grown to $141,-
000 among the school districts accord-
ing to population.
Attorney W. P. Brewster argued at
length in support of the court decision
and referred to the English law which
governed the country before the Revo-
lutionary War.

I read within a poet’s book
A word that starred the page,
“Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage.”
Yes, that is true, and something more:
You'll find, where’er you .roam,
That marble doors and gilded walls
Can nevex.make a home,
But every house-wihvre-Loye abides
And Friendship is a guest;
Is surely home, and home, Ts
For there the heart can rest.
—Henry Van Dyke.
Home is where the heart is.— Pliny.
The beauty of the house is order,
The blessing of the house is content-

The glory of the house is hospitality.
For the whole world, without a native
home,
Is nothing but a prison of larger room.
