entertained at a family dinner
Wednesday evening, marking her
ninetieth birthday. Mrs. Clyde
Eggleston of Vernon was the host-
ess for her mother, and Mr. and
Mrs. Arch Austin of Beaumont,
guests.
Mrs. Austin is not quite so vigor-
ous now as she was when she ven-
tured into the wilds of Canada at
the age of seventy-seven to fish
with her son Arch in the wilder-
ness, but she still reads without
her glasses, and remembers with
delight that she once drove the
fastest horses ever seen in these
parts.
She was born on what was once
Ryman’s Pond, now Lake Catalpa.
Her forebears on the Ryman side
came from Prussia at about the
time of the Revolution, on the
Spencer side from England earlier
in the century. Peter and Richard,
grandfather and father, were tre-
mendously tall’ men, capable of
dealing with the virgin forest as
pioneer timbermen. ;
Christened Frances Adelaide Ry-
man, little Addie attended a one-
room school near Demunds, and
later the Beaumont Academy.
Living on the Penn Kirkendall
farm in Kunkle, now the Morrett
place, for many years before she
and her husband William bought
the present farm in Plattsburg, Mrs.
Austin learned how to cope with
necessity in days when cars were
unknown and doctors were un-
available in time of emergency.
When her elder son, E. Ray Austin,
was nearly drowned in the pond, it
was Mrs. Austin who rolled him on
a barrel, working over him for
hours after his cousin Lawrence
pulled him to shore. Lawrence won
a Carnegie medal and four years
at Ames College for his exploit.
Mrs. Austin had the satisfaction of
seeing her son grow up to be an
educator, superintendent of Laurel
Run Schools for thirty-five years
before his death in January, 1954.
The younger son, Arch, is super-
vising principal of Monroe Town-
ship schools, the subject of a
Know-Your-Neighbor column in the
Dallas Post three years ago.
William Austin died in 1927, but
Mrs. Austin still lives on the place
in Plattsburg, though tenants now
work the farm.

Cemetery Wednesday afternoon, ser-
vices conducted by Rev. William
Heapps.
Mr. Glasser, 83, died Monday

trade, a member of Sons of Veterans
of G. A. R., Wilkes-Barre. A vet-
eran of the Spanish-American War,

of the old Alexander Ninth Regi-
ment Band. :
