EXCERPTS FROM
THE HISTORY
LUZERNE COUNTY
By H. C. 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.

THE MONUMENT AT WYOMING
“The Wyoming Commemorative Association"
was incorporated December 31, 1881. Incorpora-
tors: Charles Dorrance, Edmund L. 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.

Standard’s Beer
Noted For ‘Zing’
Brew Has Been Favorite
In This Section
Since 1905
Swing, as in Benny Goodman, Is
mostly for Jitterbugs, but “Zing” as
in Tru-Age Beer, is something we all
can appreciate and enjoy. 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,

‘Smiling Service’
Oliver’s Slogan
Local Garage Has Splendid
Reputation For Fairness
To Customers
James R. 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.
