Kunkle Patriarch
Buried Monday
Other of the grand old-timers
this region, to whom the tiny
hamlet of Dallas sixty or seventy
years ago was still a vivid and fond
memory, was laid to rest Monday
afternoon when George K. Miers of
Kunkle was buried in Warden Cem-
etery.
Mr. Miers, who would have been
85 years old this August, passed
away Friday night at his Kunkle
home after a lingering illness of
two months. The end came quietly,
while he slept.
He was born in Huntsville on
August 7, 1856, son of Thomas Jef-
ferson, who fought with the Dallas
unit in the Civil War, and Hannah
Jane Ferguson Miers, both of whom
came to the Back Mountain region
early in life.
Mr. Miers moved with his parents
to Kunkle when he was a young
boy, and lived there for the rest of
his life, working on different farms
in the community and turning his
hand to any type of labor he could
find. In spite of his age, he re-
mained active until his illness :be-
gan about two months ago, and was
one of the most industrious and
cheerful men in this section.
He was an active member of Kun-
kle Methodist Church, and a man
of high civic spirit, squarely behind
his community in its political and
municipal affairs.
Mr. Miers’ first wife was the late
Elizabeth Wilson, member of one
of the oldest families in Dallas
Township, and after her death he
married Miss Dora Carter of Wilkes-
Barre, who passed away 13 years
ago.
Surviving are a brother, Corey,
of Kunkle, a son, William, also of
Kunkle; and four grandchildren,
Hannah Jane, Clarence George,
Wilma and Annabelle Miers. A
daughter, Elizabeth, died a number
of years ago.
A host of intimate friends and
relatives paid their last respects to
Mr. Miers at funeral services in
Kunkle Methodist Church Monday
afternoon at 2, conducted by Rev.
David Morgan, pastor.
‘Pallbearers were Gideon Miller,
Albert Kunkle, Frank Hess, Fred
Smith, William Brace and Ralph
Hess, and flower carriers, who bore
the many beautiful floral tributes
included Felice Miers, Jennie Ells-
worth, Hannah Miers, Barbara and
Phillis Sweezy, Clarence Miers and
Loren Kunkle.
Wallace Kocher
Laid To Rest
Death Of Esteemed Man
Follows Long Illness
The funeral of Wallace Kocher,
61, who died Thursday morning at
his home at Outlet following sev-
eral weeks’ illness of complications,
was held Sunday afternoon at 2
from the late home. Services were
in charge of Rev. Herbert Olver, as-
sisted by Rev. Arthur Reinig and
Rev. Marjorie Sweppenheiser.

gles, the son of the late John S.

his boyhood in that region leaving
while still a young man to make
his home in Ashley where he was
employed for more than 14 years
in the Central Railway shops. Later
he became custodian of the Miners’
Bank building, a position he held
until eight years ago when he re-
signed because of ill health. For
the past 27 years Mr. Kocher had
lived at Outlet.
Beside his wife, the former Laura
Hoover, he leaves the following chil-
dren: Mrs. Elmer Major, Mrs.
Homer Major, Mrs. Hilbert Moyer
of Trucksville; Mrs. Kenneth Swan,
Mrs. Edward Elston of Lehman;
Celestine, Howard, Donald and Ken-
neth Kocher, all at home; also seven
grandchildren and two sisters: Mrs.
Charles Eckhart and Mrs. Maude
Shaver of Wilkes-Barre, and one
brother, Sidney Kocher, of Lehigh-
ton.
Pallbearers were Russell Hoover,
Robert Hoover, Albert Grey, Atlee
Kocher, Oscar Swan and Wilbur
Hoover. Flowers were carried by
Mr. and Mrs. Harry Hoover, Mrs.
Philip Pascoe, Philip ‘Pascoe, Jr.,
Mrs. Harry Rossman, Doris Ross-
man, Clarence Kocher and Warren
Hoover. Interment was in the
Kocher Cemetery at Ruggles.

tian social-apostolate of the world.
Former Alderson
Pastor Buried
Rev. Harwood Mourned
By Many Local People
Rev. Thomas C. Harwood of Mont-
rose, well known and beloved by
many people in this section, was
buried yesterday afternoon in Birth-
ardsville Cemetery, Susquehanna
County, after funeral services at
Alderson Methodist Church, where
he served as pastor a number of
years ago.
Rev. Mr. Harwood, who with his
wife had been living the past few
months with Mr. and Mrs. Grover
Anderson of Harvey's Lake, died
Monday morning at the Anderson
home after a lingering illness of
several weeks. He was 75 years old.
Son of Rev. Thomas W. Harwood,
he was born Dec. 23, 1865, in Salem,
New York, and was destined to fol-
low his father into the ministry. He
was educated at Poltney Seminary,
Poltney, Vermont, and at Union
College, Schenectady, New York,
where he received his degree in
1885.
Rev. Mr. Harwood joined the Troy
Methodist Conference when he was
21, and served his church as a
clergyman for nearly fifty years,
retiring from the ministry in 1935.
He joined the Wyoming Conference
in 1921, and was pastor of Alder-
son M. E, Church from then until
1924, when he transferred to Sugar
Notch, where he occupied the pulpit
of the Methodist Church for the
next ten years.
During his three years of service
in this region, he made hundreds
of intimate friends, and returned
often to visit after his transferral.
He chose to spend his last days
with two of his closest friends, Mr.
and Mrs. Andefson.
In his fifty years as a minister,
Rev. Mr. Harwood attained a fine
reputation for his character and
ability, and his death is a great
bereavement to the Wyoming Con-
ference. He is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Francis Harwood.
The funeral, attended by Rev. Mr.
Harwood’s many friends, was con-
ducted by Rev. Rolland Crompton,
district superintendent of the Meth-
odist Church and an old friend of
the deceased.

Conference.

Three Attorneys
May Be Disbarred
Are From Wilkes-Barre, |
Nanticoke And Duryea
In star-chamber sessions of the |
bar associations of Luzerne County |
and Pennsylvania it is officially
known that three lawyers of pre-
vious high standing are being tried
on charges that may result in their
Of the three, accord-
to declarations of witnesses,

disbarment.
ing
penalty of loss of the State license
to practice law.
One of the lawyers is from Dur-
yea, the second is from Wilkes-
Barre, the third is from Nanticoke.
Hearings in one of the cases have
extended over a period of two years;
but the others are comparatively
new. It is in the long-delayed de-
cision, that of the Wilkes-Barre at-
torney, that a chance is seen of
survival against the charges of the
bar associations.
But, for the other two, the man
from Duryea and the man from
Nanticoke, the expectation is that
the Board of Governance in control
of lawyers’ rights will hand down
disbarments. That is equivalent to
deprivation of the lawyer's right to
earn a living. Extenuating circum-
stances in the Wilkes-Barre lawyer's
case cover what may be called a
mistake of judgment; but in the
cases from Duryea and Nanticoke
the plain implications are that the
Duryea lawyer became involved in
criminal charges and the Nanticoke
man had his criminal charges ex-
tended as far as alleged embezzle-
ment.
Because several judges have gone
{to jail, and because many lawyers
| lately have been disbarred, there
| has been effort in'the three Luzerne
| Cony cases to keep facts away
from the public. It is very dis-
| agreeable to the fraternity to be
compelled to admit any chance of
a lawyer violating his trust.
Additional Work
Closes Highway
Shoulder Construction
Blocks Beaumont Strip
Though t n open to traffic
last week-end, the Beaumont sec-
tion of the new Trucksville-Lutes’
Corners highway has been closed
again to traffic by Banks Construc-
tion Company for the building of
road shoulders.
More than 70 men are working at
top speed on this last phase of con-
struction, and the highway should
be entirely completed and opened
permanently by the end of next
week, according to a Banks official.
While an effort was made to
finish the road shoulders while the
highway was in use, excessive traf-
fic and speeding motorists made the
arrangement too dangerous for
workmen and the Beaumont stretch
was once again blocked off Monday
morning.
The portion affected runs between!
Beaumont and Elston’'s Farm and);
covers about a third of the 11-mile,
highway. The entire highway was
completed well before the contract
deadline, and all other parts have
been open to traffic for the past two
weeks.
In order to impede travel as little
as possible, the Banks Company will
open the section now under con-
struction for traffic Saturday and
Sunday. It will be closed on all
other days, however, until the job
has been completed.
