HARRY B. SCHOOLEY, JR.
Once a Back Mountain boy, al-
ways a Back Mountain boy. There
is something about the green-clad
hills that acts like a lodestone, and
folks who have experienced a
cycle of seasons in the clearer air
of the uplands can never be satis-
fied again along the river valley.
Harry B. Scholley, Jr., spent his
summers on the family farm in
Orange. When it came time for
him to found his own home, it was
the Back Mountain that drew him,
and a daughter of an established
Back Mountain family whose hand
he sought in marriage. Ruth
Blackman, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. John H. Blackman, Jr. was
a Freshman at Smith at the time
her future husband was attending
Yale, and the imminence of war
speeded up the romance.
Mr. Schooley is interested in
Back Mountain schools as well as
Back Mountain civic affairs. Hav-
ing been educated at Wyoming
Seminary and Yale, with law
school at University of Pennsly-
vania, he realizes the importance
of sound primary and secondary
education.
A member of the R.O.T.C. at
Yale, immediately upon gradua-
tion he was sent to Colorado
Springs to get acquainted with
mules at Camp Carson, and their
uses in packing artillery for Moun-
tain Troops. With the customary
non sequitur tactics of the United
States Army, he was then de-
tached from the mules and placed
with the 71st Division Field Ar-
tillery en route for France, Ger-
many and Austria, with not a mule
in a carload.
A captain now, and a benedict
by reason of a leave during the
mule episode, he landed in France
in January, 1945, at about the
date of the collapse of the Sieg-
fried Line. In October he was as-
signed with 6 MP’s to escort a
group of 1,000 Hungarian ampu-
tees back to Hungary from a hos-
pital in Germany.
The Russians were willing to al-
low the hospital train to cross the
horder into the Russian zone, but
coveted the fine powerful
German engine. Outside Vienna,
the station agent had orders to
direct the train into the Russian
station. Captain Schooley, report-
ing the matter in an understate-
ment, considered this inadvisable,
therefor arranged to have the hos-
pital train sidetracked in an En-
glish zone, where it sat for three
days. y
The fine large German engine
disappeared, but not into the
hands of the Russians, and a de-
crepit model was substituted. The
amputees and the hospital train
were received with much flag-wa-
ving at the Hungarian border, and
routed to a small town 100 miles
south of Budapest.
Advised not to route themselves
by Budapest, if they wished to re-
tain the hospital train, Captain
Schooley and his MP’s started
back again, and were sidetracked
at Saporn, where their engine was
detached. Hungarian officials, an-
xious to cooperate when the train
was filled with wounded, cooled .to
something less than lukewarm now
that it was empty.
One of the six-MP’s, scouting
around ,found a roundhouse with
six engines all steamed up and
ready to go, pulled his gun and
lined up the engineers. He stated
that he needed an engine. The Rus-
sian officer in charge, recognizing
this as a leaf from his own book,
considered it a huge joke, and pro-
mised to hook the 32 hospital cars
to the Vienna Express.
This was done, and the Vienna
Express, looking like a comet with
an extended tail, but without a
comet’s speed, pulled into Vienna
at 7 A. M. after a run of twelve
From
Vienna on, the American sector
provided the engine, and the mis-
sion was accomplished.
Captain Schooley reports that on
the way back his outfit passed
trainload after trainload of box
cars headed for Russia, bearing
everything from Mongolians to A-
mazons in the way of soldiery, and
flatcars laden with loot from dogs
and cows to plumbing fixtures.
Captain Schooley returned to
this country in 1946 in time to ce-
lebrate his son’s first birthday,
born in 1945 and now six years
old, with a small brother John,
two and a half, to keep him com-
pany. »
It was Barney who precipitated
purchase of the home in Idetown.

Jessie Sturdevant
Passes Away
Lies In Family Plot
At Hollenback
Miss Jessie Sturdevant, for
eighteen years a summer resident
at Huntsville, died Sunday night
at General Hospital after an ill-
ness which began shortly before
Easter.
She = was buried Wednesday
morning in+ Hollenback Cemetery
after services at home on
South Franklin Street by Rev. Jule
Ayers, First Presbyterian Church.
In speaking of Miss Sturdevant
Rev. Ayers stressed her great love
of beauty in every form, her grac-
ious nature, her intense loyalty,
and compared her to St. Francis
of Assisi in her affection for all
living things.
Miss Sturdevant, 73 at the time
ofher death, born in the home
from which she was buried, was
descended from the early settlers
of Wyoming Valley, and always
much interested in the historical
background. Her great-grandfather
was Charles Miner.
Miss Frances Dorrance, one of
her close friends, recalls that she
and young Jessie were the first
two young folks invited to join
the Thursday Club, an organization
founded by their mothers for the
pursuit of art and literature. Miss
Sturdevant became president of the
club on the death of Mrs. Burr
Miller, and remained president for’
the rest of her life.
She was one of the founders of
the Visiting Nurse Association, be-
ing closely associated with Miss
Hazel Smith, head of the school
nursing system. She was active in
Welfare work, and in the Red
Cross, interested in the Friends’
Service and in other charities and
church work.
The only immediate survivors
are Mrs. Z. Platt Bennett, Wilkes-
Barre and Huntsville, and Miss
Louise Thomas, Wilkes-Barre,
cousins.
law course at the University of
Pennsylvania, when it developed
that one of the children at the ho-
tel had come down with scarlet
fever. One evening’s frenzied pack-
ing saw the family en route to the
hills, the next saw them peering
through the windows of their pre-
sent home on the old Harveys
Lake highway with a flashlight, and
deciding to buy it then and there.
That was three years ago.
Since then Harry has dug sumps

KASCO DOG FOOD
We've been boostin’ it
for a long time, but the
best testimonial I know
came from Shel Evans a
few days ago.
Seems Shel keeps a bag
of it on hand in his garage
for his dog Rip. Every now
and then for the past
couple months Shel has
noticed the feed disappear-
ing. Rip couldn’t get it
cause he’s in a pen. Two
weeks ago the whole bag
turned up missing .
Last week Shel bought an-
other and stored it in the
garage. But this time he
caught the thief. A collie
dog walked in the garage,
chewed open the bag, ate
some of the feed, then
grabbed the bag in his
mouth and ran off with it.
Kasco is darn good feed.
Don’t make a criminal out
of your dog. Buy him a
