Frank | Jurist's Purchase Of Bride Outstanding Pennsylvania Romance “There has been no more romantic episode in Pennsylvania than that of Justice Hugh Henry Bracken- ridge, of the Pennsylvania Supreme Court, and Sabina Wolfe, the Penn- sylvania Dutch farm girl,” says Henry W. Shoemaker, President of the Pennsylvania Folk Lore Society, State Museum, Harrisburg. “Of Scottish origin, brought up on the York county Barrens, Judge Brackenridge went to Princeton and tutored other students to pay his way, completing his education at the head of his class at the Uni- versity, and was the author of the first romantic novel in Pennsyl- vania, ‘Modern Chivalry’, which President Witherspoon of Princeton styled, ‘the Pennsylvania Don Quix- ote which sets a high standard for American authorship’. “In the Whiskey Resurrection of 1794, together with Albert Gallatin, Brackenridge, with his strategy of digging ‘underground’, prevented a nation-wide civil war. Openly sid- ing with the rebels, and becoming their chiefs, Gallatin and Bracken- ridge led them to a peaceful solu- tion of the difficulties, despite the fact that General George Washing- ton and his army were on the march to Pittsburgh. “Later elected to the Pennsyl- vania Supreme bench, Judge Brack- enridge was famous for the lucidity of his decisions, Said James Ross, patriarch of the Pittsburgh bar who ran for governor against Simon Snyder, ‘A Brackenridge decision is never reversed.’ “Brackenridge was a lonely man, living with his law books and lit- erary abstractions. One day when he was riding from ‘Little Washing- ton’ to Pittsburgh, he stopped at a remote tavern, kept by Aaron Wolfe, a Revolutionary War "vet- eran. During the evening - meal, he noted the polite attentions of the hotel keeper's beautiful daugh- ter, Sabina, who waited on the table. She was of the old fashioned dark Pennsylvania Dutch type so different from his own long, lean ruddiness, and he said to himself, ‘Is she Latin, Semetic or Indian? Probably some of each,’ he con- cluded. That night he kept dream- ing of the lovely eighteen-year-old \ brunette. will go to the Methodist Student | by “Next morning, declining help in Dianne have returned to their home | the stable, he went there to saddle and bridle his horse, but though he got the saddle on, the mettlesome animal would not take the bit into its teeth. Sabina, working in the nearby kitchen garden, noticed his difficulties, and placing one small hand on the top rail of the inter- vening fence sprang nimbly into the farm yard. ‘It must be a Dutch horse,” she said, laughing, and after she whispered a few words of that vernacular into its ear, it stood rig- Quartet Of Styles For A Twinkle-Toed Summer Here are eight steps to a stylish “understanding” that will keep you well-shod around the clock all spring and summer-long.

He offered her a couple of ‘shillings’ which she courteously declined and shaking her hand, the Judge mounted and started on his way to Pittsburgh. “He had not gone a half mile be- fore he began regretting his de- parture and at the end of 10 miles, he made up his mind to return for Sabina and to claim her as his bride. Upon his return, he tied \ Scureman his horse at the rail and sought out; the grim old innkeeper and asked for his daughter in marriage. The grizzled old man stood silent for a moment. ‘That would cost you two hundred dollars,” he said, ‘She is a fineworker and I could not get another in her place for less than that’. ‘Agreed’, said the Judge, “Old Aaron took the money and called his daughter. The Judge explained the transaction to her and she, smilingly, accepted the sit- uation and left to gather her few possessions together for her depart- ure. Brackenridge bought her fav- orite saddle beast, as her ‘dower present’, for fifty dollars. “What this strangely assorted but not uncongenial couple discussed on the ride %o Iron City no one can know. They were married at the Presbyterian Manse at Squirrel Hill. The learned bridegroom, soon after the cermony, put Sabina to work, not at housework, but at learning Greek, Latin, higher mathe- matics, including calculus and conic sections. In all of these she became proficient and the three children | born of the marriage are all said | to have spoken Latin by the time they were three years old. “Sabina’s name frequently can be noted in the social colunins of old Pittsburgh newspapers, and she was a model wife. Judge Brackenridge lost his eldest daughter, Helen Lee, a beautiful girl of sixteen, at Car- lisle, while he was holding court there in 1811. This was a great sor- row as she was as talented as she was lovely to look at, and when he passed on in 1816, he asked to be laid beside her in the old ceme- tery at Carlisle, close to the grave of Mary Ludwig (Molly Pitcher), anether Pennsylvania Dutch girl whose life had been almost as ro- mantic and varied as Sabina Wolfe's.” Orange The W.S.C.S. will serve a “hit and miss” supper in the church hall, Friday night.
