Interesting Letter
From California
MR. AND MRS. L. C. SPRECHER
ON AN AUTOMOBILE TRIP
TO CALIFORNIA AND
OTHER WESTERN
POINTS
receipt of the fol-
Sprecher,
We are in
lowing from Mr. L. C. §
west of town, who with his wife
and two sons, are enjoying an
exfensive automobile trip since last
June,
3203 ANDRITA St.
. Los Angeles, Calif.
My dear Editor:
Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Sprecher and
sons, Norman and Arthur, touring
United States, As many of our
eastern friends are desirous of
knowing about our travels, we pen
these words for their kind interest.
Early in the morning of Tuesday,
June 23, 1925, we left our home
at Mount Joy, Penna. Traveled in
Baby Grand Chevrolet touring car,
carrying regular camp equipments.
The first day we toured 184 miles,
going by way of Harrisburg,
Connelsburg, Bedford and Kings-
ford. In crossing, the Alleghenny
Mountains, we enjoyed the scen-
ery. When we began to descend
from the Summit, I throttled the
speed of my engine to five miles
per hour. The purpose of this
was for safety. On Thursday at
9:30 A. M., we were in Ohio
state, visiting Paragon Cave and
Museum. The road signs are shap-
ed like the Ohio map. As we got
into a heavy rain in the after-
noon, which made it too wet to
pitch our tent, and being in a ru-
ral district, we were fortunate to
obtain shelter with Amish people.
Next day we arrived at Findlay,
Chic, and called on John Longe-
necker, who formerly lived at our
Mount Joy home. We attended
church at Fort Wayne. Passing
thru Goshen and South Bend, In-
diana, we entered Illinois on the
following Monday. Near Chicago
Heights, we viewed a model stretch
of Lincoln highway, double width.
From Fulton, we crossed the Miss-
issippi river into Lyons, Iowa,
Belle Plain, Dennison, Missouri
Valley, and crossed the Missouri
river. Entered Freemont, Nebras-
*Ka, on July 4th. At their camp,
we found Nit Benj. Mellinger and
family, formerly of + Witmer, Pa.
After we passed Ogallala, we trav-
eled over high plains. From Bush-
nell, Nebraska, we crossed into
southeast Wyoming, reaching Chey
enne, on July 8th. Further on, we
see large herds of cattle, and call
to mind, the Scripture, which
speaks of the cattle upon a thous-
and hills. Some distance, north of
Casper, we came to Hell's Half
Face or Acre. Beiore the white
man came to Wyoming, the In-
dians used this hole as a trap to
drive the Buffalo into, and where
they would capture them. Next,
we entered the Caoyon Wind river

ING—MRS. WM. WEIDMAN
WAS 83 ON SUNDAY
The Peris Manufacturing Com-
pany, extensive local peanut roast-
ers and shippers, and the most
rapidly growing concern that was
ever started in this town, has rented
the entire frame building and base-
ment of the John D. Easton prop-
erty here, and will occupy same as
soon as the owner can give them
possession. To date this concern
was located in the John Guhl build-
ing, but they have outgrown these
quarters. This spacious building,
formerly the Florin Shirt factory,
will enable Mr. Peris to expand his
ever-increasing business to several
times its present capacity. The
plant will ‘be located in the Easton
building not later than the latter
part of March.
Closing Out Sale
Having rented his building to the
Peris Manufacturing Company, Mr.

stock of new, second-hand and an-
tique furniture at a public sale on

building on the north side of his

Landisville Man
Commits Suicide
a
AMOS B. HERR HANGED HIM-
SELF IN THE BARN ON HIS
FARM LAST THURSDAY
That community was shocked to
learn of the suicide of Amos B.
Herr, a very well known farmer re-
siding a short distance of Landis-
ville, last Thursday.
Mr. Herr arose that morning and
went about his work as usual. He
was working about the barn and
not having been seen for about an
hour a search was made for him.
Mr. Benj. Sener, the hired man,
was horrified when he walked into
the barn floor to see the dead body
dangling from a rope tied to the
ladder on the side of the hay mow.
Herr had securely tied the rope
about his neck and the other end to
the ladder and then stepped off the
ladder. His feet barely touched the
hay. In that position he strangled
to death.
Deputy Coroner Denlinger held an
investigation and found that it was
a case of suicide. Deceased was 66
vears old and there is no known
cause for his action.
Besides his wife he leaves one
son, Amos, and two brothers. The
funeral was held from-his late home
Monday forenoon. Interment was
made at Landisville.
