Settlers Warmed Feet On
Stove At Kunkle Services

tive when he grew up, which largely
put Kunkle where she is today. As
long as the timber lasted he was a
leading lumberman of the region.
‘When the timber and the tannery were
gone, and the people had to turn their
attention to other means of earning a
livelihood, he equipped his farm with
a large herd of cattle, and began to
produce milk on a big scale.
He established the Standard Dairy
in Wilkes-Barre, and for many years
this was one of the leading distribu-
tors of milk in Wyoming Valley. Ev-
erybody in Kunkle went into the dairy
business, and the Standard Dairy
bought their milk, giving them 3%
cents in summer and 4% cents in win-

ter, at a time when milk retailed for Seeman Hoover, Henry Hoover, George
8 cents a quart in summer and 9 cents
in winter.. Money poured into the
community, and the improvements so
conspicuous in the village today are
the result of that period of prosperity.
Besides his dairy interests, he raised
a fine breed of Normandy horses
which were appreciated and admired
wherever seen.
Besides his two sons, Philip Kunkle
had four daughters: Maria, who mar-
ried Simeon Spencer; Sally Ann, who
married Rev. John P. Rice; Lydia, who
married William Allen; and Jemima,
who married Abram Ryman,
The Kunkle family is largely Demo-
cratic politically, and most of the de-
scendants lean to the Methodist faith
religiously.
Kunkle supplied a goodly number of
soldiers for the Civil War—Charles
Kunkle, John Kunkle, Joseph Hoover,
Hoover, Marcellus May, Samuel Lozo,
Aaron Moss, Wesley Moss, Dwight
Woolcot, Vester Shoemaker, Oliver
Fisher, John Beam, Jefferson Miers,
Isaac Huey, Charles Oakley, Spencer
Hunt, John Evans and John King.
Charles Kunkle and Joseph Hoover
belonged to the famous 143rd regi-
ment which fought at Gettysburg,
where the former was wounded. Jo-
seph Hoover fought there with distin-
guished valor, rescuing the beautiful
silk flag that was presented to the
boys by the women of Wilkes-Barre.
The following poem was written by
Miss Anna E. Kunkle in memory of
his heroism, and was published in the
Wilkes-Barre Record at the time of
the celebration of the 50th anniversary
of the Battle of Gettysburg.
JOSEPH HOOVER
Kunkle a hero has? That's fine!
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER :, 1938
Let’s pass the word along the line,
Hoover by name, first name Joe.
Where her crystal brooks do downward
flow,
From her greenwood hills, a boy he
played,
Climbed the mountains and killed and
flayed,
Rough Ilumber-jacks tought him to
fight,
He learned it well,
wight
His tightened brow and bulldog jaw
Did yield to naught but love and law.
When word was passed from mouth to
mouth,
the wild young
John Brown lay dead
South—
in the sunny
That insult had been offered there
To our dear flag, “Old Glory”, where
| Fort Sumter stands,—Joe dropped his
axe,
PAGE SEVEN
S———————————————
And swelled the crowd, his wrath did
wax,
As down he marched to join the
throng,
143rd took him along.
At Gettysburg on July one,
The battle then had but begun,
Crippen, a boy, the colors bore,
Just turned nineteen, but little more,
A target for bullets, One went through
And he dropped to earth in his coat
of blue.
Joe loved the lad, and loved the stars
And the thirteen stripes that cost men
The wild, victorious rebel yell
Stung like a snake. As Crippen fell,
Mad with rage, he gave a bound,
And reached the spot on the hard
fought ground,
The standard! snatched,—the tattered
rag
That once had been a silken flag,
And, raising high the rescued staff,
With long and loud derisive laugh,
Flaunted it there the “rebs’” to flout;
They tried right hard to put him out,
But when night dropped with gentle
grace,
The flag and Joe were both in place.
At home in peace since ’65
On a hillside farm. Yes, still alive.
And comrades old remember well
‘What Hoover did when Crippen fell.
When Pennsylvania collected the
Civil War flags of the State, to put
them into the State House at Harris-
burg, it was necessary to cut off a
piece of the staff of that of the 143rd
regiment, This was presented to the
post and a gavel was fashioned from
it, which was always used at their
meetings. When this gavel was ded-.
icated, the heroism of Joseph Hoover,
in rescuing the flag at Gettysburg, was
mentioned in the address by the ora-
tor of the occasion.

Behind The Scenes
In Business World
NEW YORK, Aug. 29—BUSINESS—
Industrial production went into a
nose-dive just about one year ago.
Instead of having the customary sea-
sonal business spurt last fall, the
country entered a new depression
which persisted for 10 months. Not
until July, 1938, did the clouds begin
to lift. Further clearing of the skies
occurred in August, and by now the
frown has disappeared from the brow
of most business forecasters. Their
prediction for fall and winter business
is “fair and warmer.” The outlook is
excellent, they say, the more so be-
cause there is much lost ground to be
made up. Factory sales of automo-
biles, for example, amounted to only
1,345,311 the first seven months this
year compared with 3,227,266 in the
same period last year. This means
that the average life of all automobiles
on the road has been increasing dur-
ing 1938, and a potential demand is
being stored up which sooner or later
must exert itself. Estimates of na-
tional income, represented by the flow
of wages, salaries, dividends, interest
and profits of individual owners of
businesses, for 1938 have been revised
upward a billion dollars by the De-
partment of Commerce to $61,000,000,-
000 as a result of trade improvement
since June. This figure, however, falls
almost 12 per cent below last year’s
$69,000,000,000 national income.
