Dies Suddenly

Porter H. Michael #6f .Carverton
passed away at his“home Wedesday
afternoon, December 16. Although
he had been in poor health for the
past five years he had been about
his usual duties on Wednesday and
his sudden death was a shock to his
family and friends. Stricken ill in
his home, he fell to the floor, and,
because of the shortage of physi-
cians, it was two hours before one
arrived only to pronounce him dead.
Mr. Michael wgs born in Tunk-
hannock 68 years ago, a son of the
late James Michael, pioneer settler
of Wyoming County. He was edu-
cated in the schools of Tunkhannock
and at Mansfield Normal School and
for a few years followed the teach-
ing profession. He married Minnie
Anderson, the daughter of the late
William Anderson who was also |
one of the early settlers of Wyom-
ing County.
After his marriage, Mr. Michael
went into the farming business with
his father-in-law. They marketed
their produce in Avoca and vicinity
at good profit, driving most of the
night with horses and wagons. Later
the Anderson farm was sold and
the families moved to the Carverton
farm where Mr. Anderson passed
away 30 years ago. Mr. Michael
continued to work the farm until
his death. Up until the time of his
declining health, Porter Michael was
active in the Grange and in all oth-

And Hitler's face wore a troubled

frown.
“Ach! mein soldiers,” I heard him
exclaim,
“They would have to wait until win-

Then out on the roof there arose
such a noise—

Dr. Henry M. Laing Fire Company
has flooded an acre of greund near
the triangle outside of Dallas for a

it before the firemen as a commun-

With the completion of several
floodings, the rink will be an ideal
and safe place for all youngsters of
the community to skate.
A crew of firemen with the pump-
