so his rule was almost absolute.
It was not just that men owed
their livelihood to him. It was that
they scarcely ever crossed the
boundaries of his empire. Quite
likely, they lived in a company
house. At dawn, they went into
his mines to turn black diamonds
into hard cash for him. They bought
mining drills and beds and woolen
socks and sharp cheese in his four-
story company store at Market
Street and Page Avenue. If, as was
quite unlikely, they had anything
left after their store bill, rent and
mining supplies had been deducted
from their wages, they entrusted it
to Mr. Edwards’ bank.
In those day’s Kingston's business
section extended from Kingston
Corners to the D. L. & W. railroad
station and in its middle, at the in-
Page and
Chestnut, was the nerve center of
Mr. Edwards’ industrial system,
On one corner there was the bank.
Opposite was the company store.
Up the street a short way was the
ivy-covered building “of Kingston
Coal Co. Every day, harried clerks
shuttled back and forth feverishly
from one of these buildings to
another, bent on Mr. Edwards’ busi-
ness.
About this hub of commerce
sprawled one of the wealthiest sec-
tions in the valley, an area whose
good fortune was rivalled only by
the gold coast along Wilkes-Barre’s
river bank. Within a space of four
blocks there were a score of pre-
tentious mansions, presided over by
families whose names carried weight
in banking circles throughout the
State. There were fabulous stories
told of the goings-on in the elegant |
homes of those coal barons.
Noxen Woman
Called By Death
Mrs. Maude Coolbaugh
Was Buried Yesterday
A six-month illness ended in
death for Mrs. Maude Coolbaugh,
42, Noxen, on Monday night. Her
passing grieved innumerable friends
who knew her as a devout Christian
of cheerful and kindly disposition.
Mrs. Coolbaugh was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Wright of
Noxen and had lived in that town
all her life with the exception of
10 years spent in Wyoming Valley.
She was a devout member of the
Noxen Methodist Church.
Stricken about six months ago,
she underwent a serious operation
and seemed to recover some after
it, but her condition has grown
steadily worse in the last month.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon at 2 in Noxen Methodist
Church. Rev. David Morgan, pas-
tor, and Rev. Harry Rundell of Nox-
en Tabernacle, officiated. Inter-
ment was in Orcutt Cemetery, Nox-
en.
Surviving are her husband, Ralph;
two sons, Carl and Leon, and one
daughter, Arlene, all at home; her
parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas
Wright; two sisters, Mrs. Edward
Nafus, East Dallas, and Mrs. Gordon |
Johnson, Lehman Heights, and one
brother, Ernest of Detroit.

to re-open. The coal compan .of-
fices are empty, the four-story com-
pany store, shortened to one-story
by a disastrous fire several years
ago, is occupied by a cut-rate
grocery and now the bank, proudest
symbol of Mr. Edwards’ fortune, is
to be razed to save taxes.

Daniel Edwards’ empire, but there
are ghosts who lurk before the un-
lighted windows of vacant store-
rooms and one of them, we think,
is the ghost of a kid we recognize,
A fragment of our own youth will
go down with the bank, for we lived
in its shadow for at least seven
years, We had our first savings ac-
count there. In a fearful office on
its second floor we braved our first
dentist’s drill. When the Masons
had their smokers on the third
floor, our orchestra used to play,
not beautifully, perhaps, but earn-
estly. On summer evenings we
played tag on the broad sidewalks
in front of the bank, or roller-skat-
ed. And once, right in front of it,
we were struck by an automobile
and, by clutching a headlight and
riding the bumper, escaped with no
damage beyond a broken shoelace,
although a maiden lady who was
passing by insisted the sight had
snipped 10 years from her life.
We don’t know why, at this late
date, we should be feeling sorry all
of a sudden for Mr. Edwards. We've
never had very much in common.

Graf Spee had sunk. His wife told
me that she had come from her
mother’s home in Scotland only a
few days before I saw her in order
to get her house ready for the re-
turn of her husband at Christmas.
She was listening to the German
radio when she heard for the first
time that her husband's ship had
been sunk. Can you imagine the
hell she went through then—alone
with her 13-year-old daughter? All
that night she sat up listening to
the radio and hoping for more news.
And then the next day—the day I
saw her—came a telegram from her
mother in Scotland to say that her
husband had cabled the news of his
landing at Montevideo.

Trip To Hospital Futile

alone on a farm at Idetown, phoned

night last week when his condition

Mr. Hayes, wno was 72, had lived
on a farm at Idetown for years. His

had done his chores before Gardner
arrived. Later that night Mr. Hayes
called the police and asked them
to take him to a hospital.
