BRADSBY OF (Readers will enjoy Mr. Bradsby's quaint, paranthetical remarks more if they keep in mind that he was writing this history of Luzerne County forty-five years ago, and refers to conditions as he knew them, not as they are in 1938.) —EDITOR (Continued From Last Week) THE BATTLE OF WYOMING (Continued) On March 10 the savages made an attack on Samuel Ransom’s house in Plymouth, wounding him, though not severely. A spirited resistance was made and one Indian left dead on the field. At the commencement of the war the proprietors, foreseeing danger, and the whole settlement being desirous that those beautiful and productive alluvial lands, should not be entirely neglected, made an agreement with several people to give them the use of all the land they could cultivate during the war if they would build block-houses of sufficient strength to defend it and keep possession. Among those associated for the purpose were Alexander Jameson, Major Prince Alden, Joseph Jameson, Abraham Nesbitt, Jonah Rogers, Sam- uel Ayres, Mr. Ransom and others. Except at the general expulsion after the massacre in 1778, the lessees, some of whom were proprietors, held their ground. Defending themselves, fighting, suffering, they still maintained their position. On April 28, 1781, Captain Spalding’s company was ordered to march and Captain Mitchell was directed to assume command in lieu of Colonel But- ler. It is assumed this action was at the instigation of the Pennsylvania proprietaries, and was intended to get the Connecticut troops as much as possible out of the Valley. INDIANS ATTACK AT BUTTONWOOD On Sunday, June 9, a party of twelve Indians made an attack on a blockhouse at Buttonwood, in Hanover, three miles below the Wilkes-Barre fort. They met with a warm reception. The house was gallantly defended, the women aiding the men with alacrity and spirit. A party from the fort, on re- ceiving the alarm, hastened down and found pools of blood, where Lieutenant Rosewell Franklin had wounded, and probably killed, an Indian. A ter- rible revenge followed. Scouts constantly on the watch, one going out as another returned, ascended the river from fifty to eighty miles, and sought the enemy in every direction. On Tuesday, the 14th, Lieutenant Crain shot at and wounded an Indian within 600 yards of the garrison. The Rev. Mr. Johnson now returned from his exile in Connecti- cut, having been compelled to fly after the mas sacre in 1778. i | 1 | Si WRITING PRESCRIPTIONS To BE FLED I mh {OUT BY DRUGEISTS WAS ORIGINATED § ) mem Y=\] IN Areen, over JO00 VRS.

Dana, Steuben Jenkins, Garrick M. Harding, Wesley Johnson, Abel Baker, L. D. Shoemaker, Harry Hakes, R. J. Wisner, Payne Pettebone, D. S. Bennett, Stanley Woodward, Calvin Parsons. Officers: President, Charles Dorrance; vice-presidents, E. L. Dana, L. D. Shoemaker, Calvin Parsons, H. Hollister, and Steuben Jenkins; treasurer, Harry Hakes; secretary, Wesley Johnson; corresponding secretary, Abel Baker; librarian, D. S. Bennett. The approach of the centennial anniversary of the Wyoming Battle stimulated the descendants of the heroes of the day to prepare for its suitable cel ebration. In the month of June, 1887, Steuben Jenkins and Calvin Parsons by chance met in Wilkes-Barre and conferred on the subject and agreed that immediate action should be taken in the premises. The preliminary work was at once entered upon. Steuben Jenkins and Wesley Johnson sent out special invitations to the living descendants to meet at the Wilkes-Barre courthouse on July 3, 1887. The first meeting was therefore held on the ninety- ninth anniversary of the battle. Among others at the meeting were Hon. Steuben Jenkins, Hon. Ed- mund L. Dana, Gov. Henry M. Hoyt, Hon. Laz- arus D. Shoemaker, Col. Charles Dorrance, Dr. Horace Hollister of Providence, Priestly R. John- son, Calvin Parsons and Wesley Johnson. General Dana presided. Dr. Hollister and Mr. Jenkins made addresses. A committee of seventeen was appointed to report at a subsequent meeting— all of them were lineal descendants of the partici pants of the battle. The members of the commit tee corresponded with the ‘seventeen townships”— the Connecticut claim. DESCENDANTS OF PIONEERS Steuben Jenkins was a grandson of Col John Jenkins of colonial times. Judge Dana was a grand- son of Anderson Dana, who had hurried from the Hartford Assembly to lay down his life for free- dom. Calvin Parsons was a descendant of the Dana stock on the maternal side. Dr. Hollister was of the family of Hollisters who lost their lives in. the first massacre of Wyoming in 1763. Stewart Pearce, author of a valuable history, “Annals of Luzerne”, was of the house of Lazarus Stewart. Col. Charles Dorrance, a grandson of Col. George Dorrance. Hon. L. D. Shoemaker was of the blood of Col. Denison and of Capt. Elijah Shoemaker. The latter was killed on the battle field. Jesse Harding, a representative of the Hard- ings who were attacked in the field and killed by Col. Butler's men, was the grandson of the only boy to escape that dark massacre.

And Zing is that certain thing that comes along with the mellowness of proper ageing in a refreshing glass of Tru-Age. Almost anybody will agree that there’s nothing that hits the spot on a hot summer’s afternoon quite so well as a tall, cool, foam-capped glass of good beer. But the brisk, windy days of fall and winter are dead ahead. And that’s where good old Tru-Age comes to bat again, with all the punch of young Joe Dimaggio, for True-Age Beer is satisfying and refreshing all year ‘round. Tru-Age Beer is a product of the Standard Brewing Company, Scranton’s leading brewers’ concern, established in that city in 1905. The popularity gained by the company’s famous brews, Tru-Age and Standard Beer, and Crystal Ale, has brought about constant expansion, both in sales terri- tory and brewing facilities. The firm has an extension office in Kingston, on Wyoming Avenue just below the Forty Fort line. Tru-Age is not just a catch phrase. It may be taken at its face value. Ana then there’s that thing, Zing. All of which makes Tru-Age a good buy for anybody’s money, ANNUAL CHICKEN SUPPER The annual chicken supper of Jack- son Ladies’ Aid Society will be held at the church house on Wednesday, October 19.

Oliver’s garage and Pack- ard sales rooms on Main Street, Dal- las, where the customer gets “smiling service always”, thrives today, the re- sults of over a decade of expansion, improvement and square dealing. Mr. Oliver, who got his start mod- estly enough with a garage and Max- well agency in Meeker, realized sev- eral years ago his need for a bigger market, and situated himself in Dal- las in 1925. He worked hard on devel- oping his new territory and expended his sales scope to such an extent that his agency became one of the out- standing Packard sales units in East- ern Pennsylvania. Today Mr. Oliver is one of the more widely respected and well-fitted auto- mobile dealers in Luzerne county, a tribute to his policies and industry. But he is not content to rest on his laurels. One of Dallas’ most enthu- siastic boosters, Mr. Oliver is proprie- tor of a business which spreads far beyond the borders of the town and attracts customers from neighboring and Wyoming Valley towns into Dal- las.
