Active In Community
And Republican Life
Private funeral services for
Eugene Piatt, 68, who died early
Friday morning at General Hospi-
tal where he had been a patient
since February 28, were held Tues-
' day morning from the late home,
19 Carverton Road, Trucksville. Rev.

Interment was in Fairlawn Ceme-
tery, Boyertown, where his wife's
family is buried. Pallbearers were
nephews. On Monday night mem-
bers of Toby Creek Lodge 100F con-
ducted services at the home.
Trucksville lost a stalwart citizen
and the fire company a faithful
worker in the death of Mr. Piatt
who had made his home in King-
ston Township for more than 30
years.
Born in Fairmount Township, the
son of the late Edwin and Ellen
Piatt, he was educated at Blooms-
burg State Teachers’ College and
taught school at Silvania, Pa. For
a number of years he operated a
garage in Shavertown. Later he
was a caretaker on State roads in
Luzerne County. At the time of his
death he was a clerk in Luzerne
County tax office.
Active in Republican politics, he
was interested in all things for the
betterment of the community and
as long as health permitted was
always eager to lend a helping
hand.
He was a member of Trucksville
Methodist Church, Trucksville Fire
Company and Toby Creek Lodge
100F.
111 for more than a year, and seri-
ously ill the last several weeks, Mr.
Piatt was conscious that the end
was near, and directed that the de-
tails of his funeral be as simple as
his tastes in life.

Here's the saw that’s designed to lessen work and raise income
on the farm. You can take it anywhere —up hill and across swampy
land if necessary — because it weighs less than 25 pounds. And
cut anything—heavy timber, limbs, hardwood, softwood, frozen
wood — because it has a full 3 horsepower.
Many other features too make the McCulloch 8-25 tops on
any farm: automatic clutch, built-in chain oiler, recoil starter,
and full-power operation at any angle.
