Ernest Townend
Buried Thursday
Locally Prominent
Man Dies Suddenly
Ernest Sharps Townend, West
Union street, Wilkes-Barre, was
buried last Thursday from his home
with members of the immediate
family in attendance and Rev.
Burke Rivers, St. Stephen's Epis-
copal Church, officiating.
Interment was in Forty Fort
Cemetery.
Mr. ‘Townend was the victim of
a sudden heart attack Monday
morning. He had driven to his
furniture store in Wyoming as
usual, an establishment founded
by his great grandfather, John
Townend in 1857, and a family
concern ever since that date. The
heart attack culminated nine years
of infrequent heart attacks, so was
not entirely unexpected.
Dallas was acquainted with him
as a summer resident, occupying
the bungalow next door to Twin
Spruces, the year-round home of
Mrs. Mae Townend, one of two
surviving sisters.
The family stems from early
pioneer days, three of them in
Wyoming Valley at the time of
the Massacre—Philip Myers, Thom-
as Bennet, and James Stark.
Mr. Townend is survived by his
wife, the former Edith Turner;
three children, Mrs. Abram Nesbitt
2nd, of Dallas, Ernest S. Townend,
Kingston, Mrs. William C. Butler
Jr., Conyngham; four grandchildren,
Adram Nesbitt 3d, Alice Plat Town-
end, Edith Turner Townend, and
William C. Butler, 3d; two sisters,
Mrs. Mae Townend, Dallas, and
Mrs. Carroll A. Garner, Hazleton.
Bearers were Theodore Potts,
Frank Townend, Eugene Townend,
Henry Townend, Donald Turner,
and John Garner.
Local Senior Scout
Presents Report
Elizabeth McQuilkin, "daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. W. E. McQuilkin,
Dallas, reported on Senior Scout
activities for Wyoming Valley
Council, Girl Scouts, at the Sec-
tional Conference held at Cough-
lin High School on Saturday.
Elizabeth, herself a Senior Ser-
vice Scout, capped two years ago,
talked about requirements for cap-
ping, stressing the two aspects, ed-
ucational and practical. Senior Girl
Scouts who are preparing to be
capped as Senior Service Scouts
must complete studies on National
Scouting and also show themselves
capable of preparing a meal or
coping with usual household prob-
lems. A capped scout must agree
to remain a Girl Scout for at least
one year after the investiture.
Dr. Marjorie G. Morrison, Leb-
anon, was the speaker of the day,
touching upon the value of scout-
ing as a prepration for a career and
for marriage.
A buffet supper and a dance fol-
lowed the business sessions.

Wilson’s Bacon
Ground Beef
Lou Banta arrived on the scene
of the accident at 3:30 Saturday
morning, after Joseph Gushka, 180
Oliver street, Swoyerville, had con-
nected with both light poles on his
way home from Harvey's Lake,
missing the telephone pole by some
miracle, but doing $350 damage to
his car. Mr. Gushka, explaining that
he went to sleep at the wheel, came
out of the crash without a scratch.
Liver
Lou hadn't been dragged from
bed by this accident, but by an al-
tercation between two motorists as
to who scratched whose fender and
who was liable for the bill, a few
minutes before 3:30.,, so he was
right on tap when the traffic lights
went.
