= mmons Piliar Figure To Lasting Rest Gustav Kuehn Of Dallas Was Oldest Practicing Pharmacist In State In summoning Gustav A. A. Kuehn last Saturday afternoon, death robbed Dallas of one of its most familiar and beloved figures. On Tuesday afternoon, when Mr. Kuehn was laid to rest in Fern Knoll Cemetery, after services at the family home on Machell Ave- fue, Dallas, solemn-faced throngs joined in the heart-felt tribute to the jovial, kindly druggist who had ‘been identified with Back Mountain “business and civic interests for a quarter of a century. Mr. Kuehn was born in Liver- pool, O., on April 30, 73 years ago, the son of Rev. and Mrs. Conrad Kuehn. He was only 14 years old when he began his career as a phar- macist, starting as an apprentice in New York City. Three years later he went to Albany College of Phar- macy and Medicine to study and was graduated, at the age of 19, with. high honors, the youngest member of his class. : When he came to Wilkes-Barre he conducted a pharmacy on Scott Street. In 1912 he was a Dem- ocratic candidate for. Mayor of Wilkes-Barre and shortly after his defeat he moved to Dallas, estab- lishing a pharmacy in a store on upper Main Street before he moved to the I. O. O. F. building, where he had maintained his drug store since. . He frequently reminisced of Dal- las as it was when he came here. “It was some place in those days,” he would say. “No electric lights, no telephones, no streets, no anything.” Known For Keen Wit A natural wit, Mr. Kuehn, who was known affectionately to innum- erable persons as “Gus”, joked often about the changes in the business he chose. He longed often for the old-fashioned “prescription parlor” of his youth, which was, he once insisted, “a real drugstore, not one of these darned hardware stores. A visit to his store was always an occasion for Mr. Kuehn to get one of his sober-faced sallies and the jokes he conceived frequently passed from person to person, throughout the town, until they had beccrie almost folklore. He was a charter member of Lodge, 61, F. & A. M., was a 32nd Degree Mason, a member of Key- stone Consistory, Knights of Pythia, Luzerne County Pharmaceutical As- sociation and Shavertown Lutheran Church. : When the Pennsylvania Pharma- ceutical Association held its con- vention : in Wilkes-Barre in 1938 it selected Mr. Kuehn the oldest practicing: druggist in the State. His wife, the former Jean Alex- ander. of ‘Avoca, has been active in Republican politics, having served as treasurer of Luzerne County Re- publican Women's executive com- mittee and as vice chairmanez’ > republican - commit- lsides his widow, he is survived by two sons, Karl Kuehn, Dallas, and John Ammerman, Allentown; a daughter, Mrs. Lydia Rohrbach, York; two grandsons, Karl Rohrbach day afternoon, Frankfort, ~fastor ‘of Shavertown Lutheran Church and Rev. C. Du- apg Butler, pastor of Lehman Meth- “odist Church, officiating. Pallbearers were James Oliver, Dr. Sherman Schooley, W. B. Jeter, H. S. Doll, M. A. Wilcox, Dr. G. K. Swartz, and George Trimble. In- terment was in Fern Knoll Burial Park. Ends Life Three Weeks Biter Fire Levels Home Morose because of the loss of his home at Montrose in a fire a month ago, Joseph Ignatovig Adams, 26, Pikes Creek, ended his life on Sun- day afternoon when he drank poison while attending a family reunion at the home of his aunt, Mrs. Williams J. Stochen, 240 East Dorrance Street, Kingston. When Mrs. Stochen learned of her nephew's intent, she fed him raw eggs as an antidote. Mr. _Stngher ther: rushed Adams to Nesbitt Memorial HdSpital, where he died within an hour, without re- gaining consciousness. Surviving are his widow, Marie; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Ignatovig; a brother, Ralph, all of Pikes Creek, and a sister, Mrs. Eva Townly, Rum- son, N. J.
