The deceased was formerly of Center tp., the Co., and a daughter of Jacob and Martha Fordyce. February 15, 1871 Lemley-Headlee - September 3, 1871, by the same [G.

Shroyer, Esq., Mr. Harvey Lemley and Miss Frances Evans, all of this county. October 30, 1872 Death of Lieutenant John G. Fordyce Many residents will be deeply pained to learn of the death of John G. Fordyce in Philadelphia, on Friday last, 16th inst., of typhoid fever. This sad even cast a gloom over those who knew the deceased, which will not soon be dispelled, as his character and conduct inspired the respect and esteem of all. In all the situations of life in which he was placed he acted well his part, and who could do more? Lieutenant Fordyce was born in Whitely township, Greene county, in 1838, and was consequently in the thrity-sixth year of his age at the time of his death. He was quietly engaged in agricultural pursuits on the farm of his father, Major Benson Fordyce, until the bugle-call of Lincoln sounded for soldiers to suppress the rebellion, when he joined Capt. Kent's company I, 8th Regiment, Pennsylvania Reserves, and served with gallantry and credit until the discharge of his regiment in June, 1864. He was noted among his comrades in arms for his superior soldierly qualities, and in the many battles in which he was engaged for his courage, particularly in the Wilderness campaign, where, with a few others, along with the colors, he penetrated the enemy's lines and forced them back in is immediate front, and thus with the enemy in close proximity on both sides and in front, continued to deal death to the foe by firing his own and all the cartridges of the dead and wounded around him, and retired in safety with the colors only when the enemy had withdrawn and darkness closed around the scene, while his gun was so intensely hot by the constant blaze of fire from it that he had to exchange it for a cool one in the heat of the action. For his faithful discharge of duties and distinguished courage in action he was afterwards commissioned as a Lieutenant in Company K, Fifth Regiment, Pennsylvania Artillery, and served with Capt. Kent to the close of the war. On the return of peace Lieut. Fordyce engaged in the mercantile business in Jefferson, which he conducted successfully for some years, when he sold out and accepted a situation in the wholesale dry goods house of Hood, Bonbright & Co., Philadelphia, where he remained until the time of his death. He was an excellent salesman, and enjoyed the full confidence of his employers. Lieut. Fordyce married a daughter of Robert Rinehart, of Whitely township, who was with him, we believe, at the time of his death, and whom we sincerely condole in the great loss she has sustained. October 21, 1874 We regret to learn of the death of Mrs. Margaret Fordyce, wife of Abner Fordyce, of Frosty Run, on Sunday last. Consumption, we are informed, was the cause of death. She was buried on Monday. June 19, 1878 Mr. Layton Crouse, of Center township, had this season a turkey hen to hatch 11 young turkeys. Shortly after their incubation the old gobbler took great interest in the brood and succeeded in capturing them from the old lady. He took full possession of them and feeds them and fights for them in all respects as matronly as a mother. After many vain attempts to ecover her children's confidence and affection, the turkey hen abandoned her wayward brood and betook herself again to her nest and having accumulated another setting is again patiently awaiting a second hatch-out. June 19, 1878 Major Benson Fordice [sic], formerly of Whiteley township, this county, but for some years past a resident of Bedford, Iowa, is again in Greene county, visiting friends. He came in on the Narrow Gauge on Thursday evening and paid our office a visit on Friday morning. He is in good health and fine spirits and is as clever and affable as ever. He is largely engaged in the stock trade, in which he has been remarkably successful. June 19, 1878 Little Elmira, daughter of Abner Fordyce, of Frosty run, died on Tuesday of last week, of brain fever, superinduced by whooping cough, aged about six years. This family bereavement is all the sadder from the fact that the little girl's mother died just 9 days before. It is truly a sticken household, and the sorrowing father is the recipient of the deepest sympathy. July 3, 1878 Mr. Jacob Fordyce of Jackson township, died on Wednesday last, July 21, of Kidney infection, aged about 65 years. He was an industrious, upright and highly respected christian citizen, and earnest, patriotic and stalwart Republican and among his latest expressed regrets was that he could not live to see the party triumphant this fall. July 28, 1880 Miss Lottie Ankrom, wife of Joseph Ankrom, of Franklin township, died at their residence on Coal Lick, on Saturday last, at a ripe old age. Mrs. Ankrom has been an invalid - a helpless cripple - for the last twenty years. She has raised a family of sons and daughters, who are grown up and settled in life. She has been a member of the M. P. Church for about 50 years. She was buried on Sunday in the presence of many sorrowing relatives and friends. September 30, 1880 Obituary of William Shriver The subject of this notice died at his residence in Whiteley Township on the 14th day of November, 1880, aged 76 years. His death was sudden and therefore unexpected. He was well on Saturday morning, but at noon appeared to be somewhat stupid. The family physician was summoned who pronounced him the victim of a torpid liver, but evidently did not regard the case as alarming. He prescribed a remedy and promised to return the next day. The next morning, however, Mr. Shriver died. On the 2nd of November he had been taken to the election and while there was weighed and drew 263 pounds. He was very fleshy, not being a man of large frame. He leaves eight children, four sons and four daughters. Dr. J. L. Shriver of Jollytown, Abraham R., Isaac and Adam, all three of Whitely Township are his sons. He was an upright industrious man and was the owner of a valuable farm. December 22, 1880 Death of a Young Lady in Her Sad Circumstances About six weeks ago, Miss Amanda Stephens, daughter of Mr. Lindsey Stephens of Whiteley township, took a trip to the state of Iowa to visit her grandfather, Maj. Benson Fordyce, and other relatives residing in that State. She had visited about among her friends, and went to visit her uncle's Azariah Stephens, who lives in Ringgold county, same state, where she was stricken down with typhoid fever, which made rapid inroads upon her system. Her father was telegraphed to, announcing the serious illness of his daughter, and last Wednesday, accompanied by his mother, Mrs. Barzilla Stephens, he came to Waynesbiurg on his way to Iowa, purposing to take the afternoon train, but missed it. He remained over night here and took the early Thursday morning train, arriving at Azariah Stephens' on Friday night but to find his daughter had passed from earth. She died on Friday morning. Mr. Stephens will bring the body of his daughter home for interment, and is now on the way and will be here on this evening's train or to-morrow evening at the farthest. Miss Stephens was aged about eighteen years, a beautiful and amiable young lady, and her unexpected death is a sad blow to her father and many other loving friends. November 22, 1881 Ruth Shultz Mrs. Ruth Shultz, wife of Elijah Shultz, died at the residence of her husband, near Newtown, in Perry township, last Sabbath evening a week ago, the 18, of pneumonia, aged 61 years. Mrs. Shultz was a christian woman, and lived a consistent member of the ------ [sic] church; a good wife and mother, a friend to the afflicted and needy. She will be much missed as a neighbor as well as in the family circle. She was a sister to Mr. Abner Bailey, ex-County Treasurer, and a mother of Mr. Taylor Shultz who resides near Waynesburg. The bereaved husband, sons and daughters have the sympathies of the community in their great loss. December 27, 1881 Wilkinson-Headlee - January 12, 1882, by Rev. H. J. Hickman, John P. Wilkinson, of Parkersburg, W. Va., and Miss Mattie E. Headlee, of Greene county, Pa. February 7, 1882 A. L. Myers It becomes our unpleasant duty to record the death of Ayers L. Myers, which occurred at his late home in Kansas City, Mo., last Thursday, February 16, 1882. He contracted a severe cold about a week previous to his death which settled upon his, naturally, weak lungs and resulted in congestion of these vital organs causing his death. Mr. Myers was removed to Kansas City with his family about a year and a half since, and had been engaged in keeping a hotel the greater part of the time since. He was the scond son of Alfred Myers, deceased, and was well known in this county having filled several public positions in Waynesburg. The body was shipped to Waynesburg and arrived yesterday on the 11 o'clock train and was taken to the residence of Rob't D. Myers, a brother, from which the funeral took place at 2 o'clock when he was laid beside his former wife and two children in Green Mount Cemetery. He leaves a wife and three children in Kansas City. February 21, 1882 Hugh Smith Died at his residence in Franklin township on Thursday morning the 20th inst., Hugh Smith in the eighty-seventh year if his age. Mr. Smith was an excellent and useful citizen, kind and benevolent in disposition, and always ready to assist those in need. He was a bachelor. He lived and died on the same farm on which he was born. His death will be much regretted by his friends and neighbors. April 25, 1882 By an oversight last week the death of Mr. Otho Spragg, which took place last Saturday a week ago, was omitted from these columns. Mr. Spragg died at his home in Wayne township, from an affection [sic] of the kidneys, aged about 72 years. He was the last but two of a large and respected family of brothers and sisters, and the Spragg name is more frequently met with than any other, perhaps, in the county. The deceased was the father of two children, daughters, one of whom, with the mother, died before him. He leaves a rich estate behind him. April 25, 1882 Keener-Headlee [Married] On July 23rd, 1882, by John Fox, Esq., at the residence of the bride's parents, Spencer M. Keener and Elizabeth Headlee, both of Perry township, Greene county, Pa. August 1, 1882 Last Sunday Mr. Eno Crouse, who lives about three miles west of Waynesburg, sent his two little boys to a neighbor's house to inform the occupants that horses had broken into their cornfield. One of the boys, aged about twelve years, was set upon by a vicious dog belonging to the premises and bitten severely in both legs, and though we are informed there were two young men present, belonging to the house, they did not attempt to take the dog off, but the boy had to beat and kick the brute off as best he could, while they looked on. When the boys returned home and told their father he deliberately shouldered his gun and went to the neighbor's house, but, seeing him coming, the dog was secreted and not to be found by Mr. Crouse. Besides prosecuting the owner of the dog, Mr. Crouse ought to embrace the first opportunity to shoot the vicious canine to death. No person or persons have any right to keep such dangerous domestic animals about their home. October 10, 1882 It again becomes our unpleasant duty to recall the death of an old-timed, useful and respected citizen of Greene county, who died at his late residence in Greene township, last Wednesday night, aged 79 years. In his death another among the oldest men in the county has passed away, and though having lived all his long life, and been active and industrious, it is a matter of doubt with the writer whether he leaves an enemy behind him. He was honest and upright in all his business relations and in his social intercourse with his fellows - repected by all his neighbors and acquaintances. Being of cheerful disposition he was always kind to those around him - seeking to make others happy. He was long a consistent, useful member of the Methodist Protestant church, a devoted hisband, affectionate father, kind neighbor, good citizen, and christian gentleman. Harvey Fordyce belonged to an extensive family of the Fordyces which has for generations composed, proportionately, a large citizenship of the county, and exerted a useful and moralizing influence in the growth, and development of the same. The deceased leaves an aged wife and a grown up family of sons and daughters - all respected citizens, also a large connection to lament his death. A funeral discourse was preached on Thursday by Rev. J. L. Simpson, after which the remains were interred in Whitely Chapel cemetery. August 21, 1883 A little seven-months-old child of Arch Adams of Jackson township, this county, choked to death on a small green apple, with which it was playing on Monday last, the 9th Inst. It had attempted to swallow it, but lodging in its windpipe, caused its death in a very short time, ere the little sufferer could be relieved. Mr. and Mrs. Adams have the sympathy of the community in their sad loss. June 17, 1884 Died, at the home of her husband on Friday, August 1, 1884, Mr. Wm. Fry, in Whitely township, of consumption, Mrs. Lizzie Fry, aged about 23 years. Mrs. Fry is a daughter of ex-Treasurer A. M. Baily, and was a lady of many virtues. Was highly respected by all who knew her and was a Christian lady in every sense of the word. She joined the M. E. church at Newtown while quite young, and ever remained a faithful and consistent member until the day of her death. She leaves a young husband, two little children and a host of other friends and relatives to mourn her death. The funeral took place on Sunday. Services were conducted by Rev. J. C. McMinn, who preached a funeral sermon at White's church, after which the interment was made in the burying ground attached to the church. August 5, 1884 Mr. Samuel Crouse is lying very ill at his home in Center Township with slight hopes of recovery. Mr. Crouse is among the oldest citizens of Greene county and is well know throughout the upper end of the same. February 10, 1885 Mrs. Lucy Fordyce, wife of Henry Fordyce, Esq. of Frosty Run, died at her home on last Tuesday April 28, 1885; from measles; aged about 40 years. Mrs. Fordyce was an accomplished and highly respected lady, and her loss will be severely felt not alone by the sorrowing friends and immediate family for the love which she bore toward them, but by all who knew her, for her kind disposition tending to disseminate peace and love among everyone in her presence. She was a member of the M. P. church and was a zealous worker in the house of the Lord. The remains were interred in the cemetery at this place, on Thursday. The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of their acquanitances and the community. May 5, 1885 Mr. Abner Fordyce died at his home on Frosty Run, Saturday, May 9, 1885, of general debility; aged seventy-five years. Mr. Fordyce is one among the oldest citizens of the county, and was man who always bore the highest respect of those who knew him. A large connection are left to mourn his loss. He had been married twice. A family of twelve children survive him, six of whom remain at home, the others have married and moved away. He was the father of Mrs. Thomas Sayers, of this place, and grandfather of Miss Annie Ankrom. Two children are in the West - Capt. John Fordyce of Berwick, Ill, and Mrs. J. B. Lucas. Two brothers - Benson and Harvey Fordyce - aldo resided in the West, one of whom is dead. May 12, 1885 Leona Fordyce (communicated) Died - Near Hawleyville, Page Co., Iowa, April 20, 1885, Leona Fordyce, daughter of Corbley G. and Lydia Fordyce. She was born December 3d, 1871, in Greene Co., Pa., where her parents lived until January last year when they came to Iowa, locating near Hawleyville. It will be sad news to her many friends in Greene Co., where she spent her childhood years, her sweet and lovely temper making friends with all whom she came into contact. Her sickness was somewhat protracted, and retaining her mental powers to the last she gave the brightest evidence of an unwavering faith and trust in Christ her Savior. In talking with her parents about death as calmly as though it were only a visit she said, "I am not afraid to die but only wish to live for your sake. I often think of death as a cruel monster coming into our homes and with his long bony fingers taking from us our dearest ones, bringing sorrow and darkness to our lives and homes, but Jesus says 'I am the life, the truth and the way. I am the resurrection and the life, he that believeth in me though he was dead yet shall he live again, therefore be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ye think not, the son of man cometh.'" In the death of this Christian girl, we have the unmistakeable evidence of God's power to save his children from the fear of death. Born of Chrictian parents, her home training was of a character to develop the highest Christian graces, and though of feeble physical developments she was morally wonderfully strong. The funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Munford from this saying of Christ, "The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth." - Mark iv-39 May 12, 1885 Mr. Elijah Headley died at his home in Perry township, this county, Saturday May 23, 1885; aged about 65 years. Mr. Headley was a man always highly respected, whom every body liked, and by his death, his many friends and acquaintance will meet with a severe loss. But few lives would compare with his for uprightness and honor. He had been a consistent member of the M. E. chirch for many years and died a faithful Christian. His death removes the last of a family of several boys all of whom lived to be useful and successful men. The sorrowing friends have the sympathy of the community. May 26, 1885 Mr. Samuel Crouse died at his residence in Center township, this county, Tuesday, Sept. 29, 1885; aged 88 years. Mr. Crouse was among the earliest settlers in the county, and married Miss Rebecca Fordyce, daughter of Jacob Fordyce, deceased. A family of eleven children was reared by them, seven of whom are still living, Layton, Enos and Mrs. Dr. S. S. Williams in this county and the other four in the West. Deceased was a good, kind-hearted citizen, always ready to assist the poor and needy in time of want. He made a profession of religion when quite young, and so lived that his daily walks were in accordance with his religion, dying in the hope and firm belief of wearing the crown that is promised to the faithful. His wife had many years ago passed on before him. The sorrowing firends have the sympathy of the community. October 6, 1885 Wm. C. Fordyce, formerly of Jackson township, this county, died at his home in Tyler county, W. Va., on Monday, May 21, of neuralgia of the heart.

Two Accidents Near Rogersville. Two very serious accidents occurred at the sawmill of Scott, West & Co., on the farm of Charles Church, near Rogersville, last Saturday afternoon and Sabbath morning, which caused considerable exceitement in that neighborhood. Isaac Longstreth ad James Shaw were hauling logs for Mr. Church and Saturday afternoon had brought a piece of timber 26 feet long in to the mill to be squared up for use in the tin plate buildings here. The log started to roll and Mr. Longstreth put his foot in front of it thinking he would stop it. This proved a very serious undertaking, however, as the log continued to roll and knocked him down, the heavy timber passing over his leg and breaking it in two places below the knee. When he fell to the ground it was with such force that his collar bone was broken. The mill was stopped and the young man taken to his home and Drs. Scott and Johnson summoned, who attended to his injuries. Owing to the excitement caused by this accident it is thought that the fire about the mill was not all put out when the men left that evening, and early Sunday morning the mill was discovered to be burning. The flames were noticed by Lafe Lightner and Albert Throckmorton, who gave the alarm at Rogersville and soon there was a large turnout of citizens. By hard work until about 10 a.m., a great deal of valuable lumber was saved. The mill shed, the saw frame and carriage were destroyed. The mill is owned by Simon Scott, Morgan West and others. Their loss is estimated at $200. They left for Wheeling at once to purchase new parts of the mill, and it is expected to be running again by Friday. Mr. Church is expected to get out lumber for six new oil rigs at once and this has delayed the work. The lumber in the shed was owned by him.

Ankrom, of Franklin township, met with a serious runaway accident. They were on their way from the Christian Endeavor Convention, at Coallick church, to the home of Miss Ankrom and just after passing the County Home building, their horse started to run off. It ran down a hill which crossed a run at the foot of the hill breaking the railing. A short distance beyond the bridge the buggy overturned, throwing Miss Sayers out and one of the hind wheels passed over her neck. The vehicle righted itself again and the horse ran on. Just ahead of it was a buggy occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Bryan, who reside on the N. W. Sayers farm, east of town. The two buggies collided, tearing three wheels from the buggy occupied by Mr. Bryan and one wheel from the other buggy. Fortunately, neither Miss Ankrom nor the Bryans were injured in the tear-up. Both vehicles were badly broken up, one of which belonged to Thomas Sayers and the other to N. W. Sayers. Miss Sayers was brought home Friday evening, and although found to be considerably bruised, she was not dangerously hurt. Their escape was certainly a narrow one.

The Commissioner of Education, which corresponds with our State Superintendent, is Dr. Brumbaugh, of Pennsylvania, who is well known among our educators.

Her Waynesburg friends will be glad to hear of her promotion. September 20, 1900 A young man named Frank Ankrom, son of William Ankrom, of Franklin township, met with a very serious and peculiar accident last Thursday. He and his father had just returned from Lippencott's distillery where they purchased two empty whiskey barrels, intending to fill them with cider. They had unhitched their team and young Ankrom got into the wagon and struck the side of the barrel with something to jar the bung out. As he did so the barrel exploded with terrible force, blowing it to pieces, as well as the other barrel standing near it and the entire wagon bed, setting the latter on fire. The young man was badly burned about the face, neck and hands and it is miraculous that he was not killed, as the explosion was almost equal to a charge of dynamite. The barels and wagon bed were blown into splinters. Ankrom was brought to town and his injuries were attended to by Dr. Ullom. It is a mystery what caused the explosion as the young man says he had no matches about him. Moral: better be careful even of an empty whiskey barrel.

It was from this home that the immortal spirit to its flight to the realms of the blest. When but a small girl she became a christian and united with the Methodist church. She was always interested in the work, and cheerfully rendered every service for the cause that was so dear to her heart. During the last year of her life, whe affliction and suffering prevented her from attending the church services, she was so often heard to speak about the work, and to express the desire that she might get strength again to work for the Master. But through all her suffering she was cheerful and patient and even seemed more concerned about the feelings of others than she did about her own affliction. Christ was indeed precious to her. When the end was drawing near, she would talk of death as one would talk of taking a visit. There was not a cloud; not a fear. It was going home. The beginning of an endless life, free from the limitations of the body; going where the Lord would be her everlasting light and where days of mourning would be ended. Thus without a fear, she passed out of the earthly house into the house not made with hands, Eternal, in the Heavens.

Murdock Memorial Upon Long and Useful Life of Well Known Citizen William Hopkins Murdock was born at Fordyce, Pa., December 10, 1820 and died February 26, 1909. In 1842 he married Miss Nancy Gillett, who died Dec. 5, 1906. From this union were born nine children, four of whom are deceased; also twenty grandchildren, seven of whom are dead, and twenty-three great grandchildren two of whom are dead. On Jan. 20, 1892, he and his estimable wife celebrated their golden wedding anniversary and all the children and a large company of other relatives and friends were present. Soon after his marriage his wife, who had about two years before accepted Christ, pursuaded him to unite with the church and from that time these two lived conscientiuos christian lives. It is peculiar to note that while his wife joined the church a little more than two years before him yet he outlived her enough time that they both had served their Master an equal number of years. Though the writer has known this noble character for only a little over two years, their close association has given him a broad view of this man's exemplary christian life and much can be conscientiously said of his piety and honest christian spirit. As a husband he was kind and labored arduously that his wife and family should lack no necessity and his home be well provided for. Besides his own large familyhe fostered two orphans and several grandchildren and rejoiced in the success of each or was sadened by their sorrows. Few men live to his great age and enjoy to almost the last such health and strength. Although at different times he suffered physical disabilities which would have broken down a less robust constitution, he would rally and soon be active again. At one time he fell and broke his hip, at another he suffered from several broken tibs and again from a badly sprained shoulder and several minor accidents but so active was he that during the last summer he was in the hay field some and this faill husked corn because he enjoyed work. His life has been one of the most active in this community. Only two weeks before he died was he bedfast and it seemed to those about him that his body could hardly be overcome, but it finally was and his soul released to speed homeward to heaven. Greene county has lost one of her foremost citizens who always stood for honesty and uprightness. He was in politics a staunch Republican and served his party several times in his own township and county and filled the offices ably and acceptably. It is a note worthy fact that his desire always to be on the side of right was shown in the election last November. He said he might never have the chance to vote again and he believed the true christian should vote for prohibition and so he did. He was a firm believer in the doctries and polity of his church and ably defended and worked for them. He gave exemplary loyalty and confidence to each pastor and felt that Biblical doctrine and guidance should come from him. The writer has spent many enjoyable hours in conversation with him upon the scriptures and scriptural incidents. Church and pastoral support was loyally given and his home has been the stopping place for the pastors of this circuit for many years. For some years his deafness prevented him from hearing a word of the service buthe faithfully attended church for he so often said he wanted to do his duty to the church.\ In his later days he read the scriptures daily and meditated upon their contents. His favorite chapter was the 51st Psalm, which was read to the burial service. Deeper than his faithfulness, more loving than his worship was his heart ever anxious about the good of the church and the welfare of some of his neighbors' souls. The best that can be said of him is that his example was wonderfully and nobly christian. O. W. B. March 11, 1909 Fordyce-Sellers Mr. Jesse L.

September 30, 1909 Sad Death of Young Girl Miss Bernice Conklin Fatally Injured by Falling Upon a Knife May Greene County people will learn with sorrow of the tragic death of Miss Bernice Conklin, daughter of James Conklin, formerly of Wayne township, this county, and a granddaughter of ex-Commissioner Henry Conklin. From the Fairmont Times of last Thursday we take the following: Miss Bernice Conklin, aged 13, a bright young student at the Fairmont High school, stumbled on a boardwalk at her home on High street, last evening, at 5:30 o'clock, and a sharp knife that she was carrying in her hand entered her chest and pierced her heart. Although mortally wounded the young girl regained her feet and staggered across the yard. A stream of blood flowed from her injury and every moment was bringing her end nearer. The brave little girl realized the fact that she had received a fatal injury, but with her last strength she tried to reach the side of her mother who was in the kitchen of the house. "Mother," she cried faintly from the yard, "Mother, I am dying." And with this she fell to the ground, unconscious. Long before Doctors Sands and Fitch arrived she had expired and her body was borne tenderly into the house. The affair was one of the most pitiful that has ever occurred in this city and a gloom was cast over the entire city as the news spread rapidly. A great pool of blood was found where the body lay and this gave mute evidence of the fact that the knife had severed an artery. The young lady had been asked by her mother, Mrs. James Conklin, to go into the garden and gather some pumpkins. She was given a paring knife to cut the stems and as she walked down the boardwalk she carried the knife in front of her. Her sister, Miss Goldie Conklin, was in the yard at the time. In some manner, the unfortunate girl caught her foot on the walk and she was thrown to the ground in a violent manner. She fell fairly upon the knife, which entered her left breast. Miss Conklin was the daughter of Mrs. James Conklin and she is survived by her mother, two sisters, Mrs. Charles Hough and Miss Goldie Conklin, and one brother, Earl Conklin. Miss Bernice was 13 years of age on September 17. She was considered a very bright child, and a month ago entered the high school as a member of the first year class, she having graduated from the public schools last spring. She was a sweet, lovable child and her cruel death will come as a severe shock to her numerous friends throughout the city. October 7, 1909 Rose-Lemley Mr. Walter B.

On last Friday, while returning from hunting, Marcus Wade, aged about 17 years, and son of Mrs. Cassie Wade, of near Brocks, this county, met with a serious accident. He was carrying a shovel on one shoulder and a loaded shot-gun upon the other. The shovel started to slip off his shoulder and in attempting to prevent it from doing so he dropped the gun. The weapon was discharged by striking upon the ground and the load of shot entered the young man's right foot and ankle, near the ankle joint. He was taken to the home of Noah Fox, nearby, and the Drs. Hatfield, of Mt. Morris, summoned. An examination showed a very serious injury. The entire fore part of his foot was torn away and there were various fractures of bones and dislocation of the joint. The physicians dressed the injury and are endeavoring to save the heel and fleshy part of the foor below the ankle. Young Wade had been in poor health for about four weeks prior to the accident, and by telephone, yesterday, we learned that the physicians are having a hard time to ward off an attack of typhoid fever. The accident was certainly very unfortunate. As the hunting season is now opening every person handling a gun should exercise the utmost care and precaution.

The team and buggy both fell upon Mr. Kent, and his escape was almost miraculous, the buggy being entirely broken to pieces. He finally extricated himself and got the horses out of the crrek, one of which narrowly escaped drowning, and borrowing another buggy, insisted upon continuing the trip. When he returned home in the evening, his condition became serious and upon summoning a physician it was found he had suffered an injury upon his head and internal injuries which were for a time feared to be of a dangerous character. Mr. Kent is now improving. He is the father of R. E. Kent, Esq., and Will Kent, a student here.

May 12, 1910 Grover Crago Drowned Sad Accident Near Rices Landing, On Friday Man Leaves Sinking Boat to Save His Step-Brothers, But Loses His Life By a heroic act, in striving to save the lives of his two young step-brothers, Grover Crago, a well known young man of near Rices Landing, this county, lost his life on Firday afternoon. The former was a son of Thomas J. Crago, who owns a sawmill and resides at the Arensburg ferry, on the Monongahela river, a mile and half above Rices Landing. On Friday afternoon, Grover Crago, who was twenty-four years of age, and his two step-brothers, Allen and Robinson Crouse, aged fourteen, took a boat and rowed across the river to secure some drift-wood for fuel. After loading the boat with the wood they started to return. They knew the boat was leaking but thought they could cross the river in safety. When only about [segment missing] that when the boat was relieved from his weight it probably would not sink until the lads had reached the shore, and this proved true. Instructing the boys to cling to the boat until it sank he plunged into the icy water and bravely started for the Greene county side. He was known as one of the best swimmers along that part of the river and felt no hesitancy about the perilous effort which he was making. The danger was greater than he realized, however. Encumbered by his clothing, fatigue over-came him sooner than he expected and the cold water doubtless brought an attack of cramp to the muscles of his limbs. He had arrived within fifty feet of the shore when suddenly with a despairing cry he sank beneath the surface. The water at that point is twenty feet deep and though he was seen to sink by persons on the shore no aid could be rendered in time to rescue him. The river was dragged until midnight to secure his body and the effort resumed the next day. Finally about noon on Saturday it was found near where he had sank. The two Crouse boys obeyed the directions of Crago and clung to the boat until it had drifted near the shore, a half mile below the ferry. There they were compelled to remain in the water, waist deep, for almost an hour, until rescued. They are twins, their mother, Mrs. Nettie Crouse Crago, having formerly resided near Rogersville, the boys being grandsons of Layton Crouse, deceased, and Mrs. Catherine Crouse, now of Center Township. Mrs. Crago is the step-mother of the young man who was drowned. Grover Crago was a highly respected young man and was a member of the Hewitt Presbyterian church. Beside his father he is survived by the following brothers and sisters: Amos Crago, of Gary, Ind., Lindsey, of Pittsburg; Mrs. M. Smith, of Spears, Mrs. R. A. Davidson, Mrs. John D.

June 23, 1910 A Waynesburg Attorney Attacked and Beaten. Two Men Who Had Been Fined Several Years Ago by Former Burgess Purman Seek Revenge. On Saturday evening, A. A. Purman, a well known Waynesburg attorney, and his son, Ralford, drove up toward Rogersville to catch some frogs for a friend of Mr. Purman who is in poor health. They got out of their buggy near Rogersville and hunted down along Ten Mile creek with "gigs." When near the Crouse school house, four miles west of town, two men began throwing stones at them and ordered them out of the creek, accusing them of seining. Mr. Purman went out into the road and explained to them that they were not seining at all, but were merely catching frogs. He recognized one of the men to be Fred Crouse and the other he learned later to be George White. Both of the men immediately recognized Mr. Purman and reminded him that several years ago while he was burgess of Waynesburg he had fined each of them, and that they had waited for five or six years to catch him out in the country to even up with him by giving him a beating. Mr. Purman, with no desire to have any trouble, returned to the creek and told the men to go on and not molest him. The latter, however, began calling him vile names and continued to throw stones at Mr. Purman, which very much frightened his fourteen year old son. On this account they quietly went down along the bank of the creek some distance and extinguishing their lamp sat down under some willows, thinking their assailants would leave. Crouse and White, Mr. Purman says, called to another young man, Earl Church, who was sitting in a buggy in the road to come back and they would "clean Purman up." The latter and his son remained quiet under the bushes for some time then continued on down the creek hunting for frogs. When they had reached a point opposite the residence of Newton Grove, they were halted again and Mr. Grove ordered them off his premises. It seems that Crouse and White, together with Church, after the first attack upon Purman had gone to the home of Mr. Grove and awakening him, he was informed that someone was seining in the creek and was urged to come out and drive him off his farm. He told Mr. Purman that this was his reason for ordering him off. The latter explained that he was not seining, was only catching frogs, but would go off his premises if he desired him to do so. In obedience to Mr. Grove's orders Mr. Purman left the creek and started toward the road, but he had no sooner ascended the high embankment at the creek than someone kicked him and he was dealt several blows on the back of the head. These assailants proved to be Crouse and White. The situation looked to be decidedly precarious to Mr. Purman, two men were standing in front of him one of whom held a base ball bat, and two were assaulting him at the back. He warded off the attack as best he could but the assault upon him by Crouse and White continued for twenty or thirty minutes. He appealed to Mr. Grove to see that he got he got fair play and assured him that if all but these two would keep their hands off him he could defend himself. Finally one of his assailants dealt him a blow on the side of the head with a gig handle, or a club of some kind, and ran, calling back that "that was five dollars worth he had got out." Mr. Purman's hat was cut by this blow and he was somewhat stunned. He was at a disadvantage in defending himself on account of wearing high rubber boots. After walking some distance he came to his buggy and then drove to town. Securing some friends he returned to the home of Mr. Grove to have the facts of the affair verified, which Mr. Grove did, as also Mr. Church, we understand. The former stated that he did not interfere to defend Mr. Purman because of the trouble it might cause for him. It seems that Crouse and White had both been arrested in Waynesburg for disorderly conduct and drunkenness during Mr. Purman's term as burgess and he imposed fines upon them. White had broken away from Policeman James Rinehart, after his arrest, at the door of the sheriff's office, but was stopped by a shot from the officer. Prosecution will be made against Crouse and White for their assault upon Mr. Purman. July 28, 1910 George White and Fred Crouse, both of Rogersville, were arrested Thursday, last, charged with felonious assault and battery. They are the two men who made an attack upon Attorney A. A. Purman, while the latter was hunting frogs near Rogersville, recently. At a hearing before Justice of the Peace Jesse McNeely, of Center township, the accused were held for court and furnished bail in the sum of $500. August 11, 1910 Mrs. John White Mrs. Mary Ann White, widow of John White, died at her home in Rogersville, Friday, August 26, aged 84 years. Her death was due to heart failure. Mrs. White was a daughter of David and Betsy Mitchell Sellers, deceased, and was a member of the M. P. church. In 1844 she was united in marriage with John White, who died 42 years ago. Four children survive: Ananias White, Mrs. Madison Church and Miss Lou White, of Rogersville, and Atkinson White, of West Virginia. The funeral was held Sunday at 10:00 a.m. conducted by the Rev. W. H. Gladden. Interment in Rosemont cemetery, Rogersville. September 1, 1910 September Term of Court Crouse and White Sentenced to 60 Days in Jail for Assault - Other Sentences Imposed - Civil Cases This Week. In the trial of Fred Crouse and George White, upon the charge of assault and battery; A.A. Purman, Esq., prosecutor, the jury rendered a verdict of guilty, upon the second count. The evidence against them was positive and it was shown upon the part of Mr. Purman that he had wanted to shake hands with defendants and have no trouble. Their assault upon Mr. Purman was alleged to have been the result of a grudge because of fines imposed upon defendants by him while he was burgess of Waynesburg, and he offered to return the amount of these fines rather than have a fight with them. To these appeals for peace, however, they gave no heed. The maximum penalty for such an offence is one year imprisonment, but owing to the fact that it was their first conviction in court, Judge Inghram imposed a sentence of $25 fine and 60 days in jail for each. September 15, 1910 William Headley William Headley, a well known and prominent farmer, died at his home, near Mt. Morris, Monday, October 3, aged 50 years, of stomach trouble.

The revolver belonged to Reuben Baily, son of Eli Baily, who had purchased it for protection in passing along a lonely road to his home. Young Baily had attempted to fire the revolver but it would not go off and he stopped in at the home of Wesley Crago where he took the weapon apart. After putting it together again he passed the weapon to Miss Crago, who not knowing it was loaded placed her hand over the muzzle and pulled the trigger with the above reault. Dr. Edard Laidley was summoned and dressed the injury. He found that one finger was dislocated and the other badly crushed. November 3, 1910 Patterson-Cole Mrs. Hal W. Patterson and Miss Elizabeth M.

Death did not take her unawares, for she had long since been reconciled to God, having been a member of the Muddy creek Presbyterian church since the day of her conversion, some twelve years ago. When she came face to face with that reaper whose name is Death, there was no qualing, no drawing back, but such peace and fearlessness was hers as characterize the soul that is resigned to the will of God. Miss Blaker believed in the full message of Jesus, and as an evidence of this faith , she had long been a member of the Womans Missionary society of the church. Her only brother and sister who grew to manhood and womanhood, S. B. Blaker and Mrs. Anna M. Cree, had preceded her by several years to the better land, there to await her home coming. She made her home with her nephew, Mr. Omie Cree, on the David Blaker homestead. The latter's mother having died when he was but a mere child, "Aunt Hattie" became to him like a mother, whose love and devotion could be surpassed only by a mother, while her nephew became as a devoted son. Never were two member of a family more strongly united by mutual devotion and affection and it is upon him that the stroke falls the more heavily. a large concourse of people assembled in the Muddy creek church March 8, to pay the last tribute of love to one who had won the esteem and affection of everyone.

She was the daughter of Charles and Mary Garney Headlee. Born on Shannon run, in Perry township, her early life was spent in that community. Long before the building of a church in the Shannon run vicinity, the itinerant Methodist Episcopal preacher conducted ser-vices in the neighborhood, either at the home of Abraham Delany or that of Eli Headlee. It was at a service on one of these occasions when Leah Headlee, a girl of thirteen years, was converted by giving her heart to the Savior and her name to the church. For more than three-quarters of a century she lived a consistent christian life. Leah Headlee was united in marriage with David Lemley, Sept. 10, 1840. Mr. Lemley preceded his beloved wife to the better land by a duration of almost eleven years, departing this life March 24, 1901. To this union were born eight children, one of whom, Asbury, died in early childhood. Nannie Lemley Woodruff, wife of the Rev. Elwood Woodruff, of the East Ohio Conference of the Methodist Episcopal church, was called from labor to reward some twenty years ago. George Lemley, of Mt. Morris, heard and answered the call, "It is enough, come up higher," only a few short weeks before his beloved mother answered the summons, "come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." Mrs. Lemley leaves to mourn her departure one sister, Mrs. Mary Woodruff, of California. Charles H. Lemley, the oldest of this family of children, survives his mother, also Mary J. Lemley Headlee, a daughter, Harvey Lemley, a son, Sarah Lemley Delany, a daughter of St. Leo, W. Va., and David Newton Lemley, the youngest son and child of the family, all of Mt. Morris, Pa., save the exception noted above. The greater part of the married life of Mrs. Lemley was spent on the home in which she died, about one mile west of Mt. Morris, on one of those spacious bottom lands for which the valley of old Dunkard is so noted. Here at this spot so dear to the memory of so many "sorrowing not without hope" loved ones; here where this grand old stream strikes out boldly from the base of the almost precipitous hill making its wide circle about the fertile fields for a distance of a mile or more and returning to the same hill only a few hundred yards whence it left this protecting shelter; here surrounded by creek and hill with sentinels of oak, spruce and birch, as it were hemmed in from the outside world, yet where the most hospitable welcome was always accorded acquiantance and stranger alike, her relatives and friends, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren received blessingand happiness and good will unstinted. Truly this couple of pioneers (for such they may be termed) not only cleared the forest and cultivated the land, but laid well and deeply the foundation of christian character, which leads to the highest ideal of manhood and womanhood. Here grandfather and grandmother Lemley spent the greater part of their married life, and here the bereft widow, mother and grandmother waited with loving patience the coming of her Lord. How oft she said to her loved ones, "I thought, yea even hoped during the night He would take me to Himself and home and the loved ones who have gone on before." The life of Mrs. Lemley, which was drawing toward the century mark, was one of great activity and untiring service. For the past few years her strength, both in body and mind, had waned. During the winter she was seriously ill, but just previous to death, was thought to be better. On the morning of her demise she was taken suddenly worse and did not rally. As the day drew on and evening approached, the evntide, the setting sun in her life went down, not out, March 13, 1912, to rise and shine on a fairer shore. The funeral service was conducted on Friday, March 15, 1912, at 10 a.m., in the Methodist Protestant church, at Mt. Morris, Rev. J. H. Mossberg, pastor, Rev. L. S. Anyill, of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, offered prayer; Rev. F. L. Teets, of the Methodist Episcopal church, read the scripture; Rev. Stewart, Mrs. Lemley's pastor, and pastor of the Buckeye Methodist church, of which the deceased was a member at the time of her death, preached the funeral sermon. The body was laid to rest by the side of the tomb of her husband, in Cedar Grove cemetery, Mt. Morris, her spirit having ere this ascended to God, who gave it. In the quiet of our home with the voices of our children ringing in our ears, and our mind throbbing with the happy memories of the past, we do not think of our departed one as dead, but that she "liveth and shall never die," liveth in a fuller and more beautiful sense than ever before. It would be unjust to say to the weeping ones, "weep not," but your tears should not only be those of sorrow, but those of joy as well.

He was the son of Eli Headlee and Mary Dulaney Headlee. Mr. Headlee was of English decent [sic], his more immediate amcestry having settled in the colony of New Jersey, from whence came the great-grandfather, Ephraim Headlee, who settled on Shannon Run. This ardent pioneer prepared the way for the coming generations. Under the circumstances of this partially accomplished mission the subject of this sketch grew to manhood. Surrounding such as are calculated to make Christian character predominant, developed this noble spirit in his life. W. G. Headlee was united in marriage to Mary Jane Lemley January 10th, 1867, who survives her beloved husband. To this union were born nine children, all of whom survive. Namely: Ida Headlee Dulaney of Mt. Morris, Pa., Jasper N. Headlee, Bradner Ohio, Oscar A. Headlee, Brock, Pa., Eli E. Headlee, Mt. Morris, Pa., David L. Headlee, McDonald, Pa., Benson S. Headlee, Mt. Morris, Pa., William W.

He became deeply interested in the cause of Christ at the time of the building of the Shannon run M. E. church, and was gloriously converted at the first revival meeting held in the newly erected place of worship, Rev. Charles McCaslin pastor. He continued from that time up until the summons came "to come up higher," a faithful and devoted follower of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mr. Headlee's religion was a vital part of his life. In his daily walk he truly said with Paul, "For me to live is Christ and to die is gain." One of his pastors upon being asked what constituted a righteous man replied, "W. G. Headlee is as good an example of a righteous man as I have known." Really those who knew him best knew him but to love him and his chief delight was to go about doing good. Though a resident of the country district, Mr. Headlee devoted most of his time to the carpenter trade. He was an excellent cabinet maker and in early life made much furniture for the home. Later in life he contracted extensively with many residences of Mt. Morris and vicinity as well as public buildings are examples of his workmanship. Mr. Headlee was an active supporter of various industries in the community in which he lived, being a director and vice president of the Farmers and Merchants National Bank of Mt. Morris, from its organization, and was a stock-holder in the Mt. Morris flouring mill. Although a man of the home and in a sense shrinking from public lifem he was frequently sought for and elected to public office, serving as Justice of the Peace both in the township and borough, holding this place at the time of his death. The departed was not a rugged man in the general acceptation of that term, at various times suffering greatly during the past thirty years. His final illness was of short duration being actually confined to his room but a few days before his demise. Death was due to heart failure, Firday morning August 16ht 1912 as the sun of light and warmth was calling the things of earth to the activities of a new day the Son of Righteousness spoke to this loving child of God, and bore his soul away to feast on the things of the eternal day in that fairer shore. The spirit of this godly man, "This giant in Israel"went over - not out - to be with God. The funeral services were held on Sunday August 18th, 1912 at 2 p.m. A large congregation of people assembled at the Mt. Morris M. E. church to pay their last tribute of respect to their departed relative, friend, and neighbor, indicating the high esteem in which the departed was held. The funeral services were in charge of the pastor, Rev. F. L. Teets assisted by Rev. W. F. McKain, a former pastor. Suitable music was beautifully rendered by the church choir, the floral tributes from the W.C.T.U., his associates of the bank, and other friends were beautiful and appropriate. The six sons acted as pall bearers. The body was laid to rest in the Cedar Grove cemetery, his spirit having ere this taken its flight to the God who gave it. In the quiet of our homes, the melodies of our children's voices ringing sweetly in our ears, and our minds pulsating with the happy thoughts of our childhood, we do not think of our departed husband and father as dead, but that he "liveth and shall never lie." Liveth a better and more happy life than ever before. It would be unkind to say to our weeping hearts, "weep not" but our tears should not only be those of sorrow but of great joy as well. "My Jesus, as thou wilt; All shall be well for me; I gladly trust with thee. Straight to my home above, I travel calmly on, And sing in my life or death. My Lord, thy will be done."

Doubt As to How Fatal Wound Was Inflicted - May Have Been Attacked by a Burglar. The announcement Monday of the death of Clarence Headlee, a popular young business man of Vandergrift, Pa., caused deep sorrow among many friends in Waynesburg, where his parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Headlee, have resided for several years. Clarence Headlee was well liked by all of his acquaintances. The cause of his death is not fully solved and perhaps never will be. He had been located in Vandergrift, Pa., for a year and a half as manager of a store for the American Woolen Mills company, and had been successful. On Saturday night he closed his store about 11 p.m., and he and his wife who had called there for him, walked home together. After they arrived home and while sitting on the porch he remarked to his wife that he was going back to his store again to get some cigars. She advised him not to return to the store again that night, but he kissed his wife several times and then started off down the street, leaving his coat at the house. He did not return and Mrs. Headlee retired, believing that he had been detained by some one or had gone to Pittsburgh to see his brothers, Harry and Floyd Headlee. On Sunday she made inquiry for him, but learned nothing and then decided that he had come to Waynesburg to spend Sunday with his parents. Monday morning, a justice of the peace whose office is located across the street from the store of which Mr. Headlee had charge, decided that an examination should be made of the store. With another man he went to the front door of the store and finding it locked then went to the side of the building where there was a good sized window in the cellar beneath the store. This window had no glass or sash in it and the justice entered the basement through the opening. He had not proceeded far until he found Mr. Headlee's hat lying upon the floor, then he called to his companion to enter. Together they walked toward the front of the basement where they found the young man's body lying upon a large store-box dead. He was lying upon his back, his left hand resting on his left breast and his right hand hanging a little over the right side of the box. Upon the floor at the right hand side of the box lay a revolver of 32 calibre. The cylinder contained places for six shells, but one place was vacant and one shell had been fired, the hammer resting upon the exploded shell. A bullet wound was discovered directly over Mr. Headlee's heart, which was surrounded by powder marks. The bullet had penetrated his heart, causing instant death. There were no other bullet wounds upon his body. A deputy coroner was summoned and after viewing the body is was removed to an undertaker's morgue, the first supposition being that he had taken his own life. It was about noon when the word of his death reached Harry and Floyd Headlee, in Pittsburgh, and nearly 4 p.m. before they were able to arrive at Vandergrift on a train of the Allegheny Valley railroad. They at once began to make preparations for the funeral and did not have sufficient time to investigate their brother's death as they would have done had the circumstances permitted. The parents were absent from Waynesburg at the time, on Mr. Headlee's farm near Brock, this county, and they were summoned here as quickly as a message could reach them. Clarence Headlee was born in Perry township, May 24, 1890, and was past twenty-five years of age. The family removed here about ten years ago and he was in the public schools and later accepted a position in the five and ten cent store in the Sayers building. Five years ago he accepted a position in the store in Pittsburgh, and later was a salesman in McCreery's store, New York city. He retuend to Pittsburgh and became manager of a merchant tailoring store and last year located at Vandergrift. He was united in marriage October 28, 1914 to Miss Frances Folan, daughter of Thomas J. Folan, of Pittsburgh. Beside his wife he is survived by his parents, one sister, Mrs. Forney John, of Kirby, and two brothers, Harry Headlee, of Wilkinsburg, and Floyd Headlee, of Pittsburgh. Deceased had been a member of the Methodist church for a number of years and was an upright and highly respected young man. He was cheerful in disposition and made many friends. No reason can be assinged why he should think of taking his own life. A few weeks ago he and his wife visited his parents here, and his sister, Mrs. Forney John, at Kirby. It was a family gathering and proved a very pleasant event, all of their children being at the home of Mr. and Mrs. D. L. Headlee. Clarence remained several days longer than he had intended because of the pleasure of the visit. For a year he had been afflicted with boils, but this ailment was improving. For several days before his death he had said to his wife he was not feeling well, but he was able to attend to his business. He was not known to have any enemies. Many believe that when he returned to his store, on Saturday night, he encountered a burglar, by whom he was shot. Neither of his brothers have knowledge that he ever owned a revolver and they say he was timid about entering a dark room at night. They cannot believe that he entered his store in the dark, on Saturday night, and walked to the rear of it then descended the cellar stairway and groped through the basement to the box where his body was found. The store-room and basement were long. Nothing of value was kept in the basement, which was not kept closed from outsiders, but it was his custom to lock the door at the top of the stairway leading into the basement. The fact that several loaded cartridges were found on the cellar floor and inside the box on which he was lying is also mysterious. The knuckles of his right hand were swollen and discolored as though bruised by having struck someone, and there were indications of a bruise upon his mouth. The remains were brought to Waynesburg at 10 a.m. Tuesday, and taken to the home of his parents on Second Avenue, where the funeral was held at ten o'clock Wednesday morning. Owing to the absence of Rev. Dr. Bash, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, the services were conducted by Rev. Dr. L. S. Wilkinson, of Pittsburgh, formerly pastor here. Interment in Oakmont Cemetery.

Duvall in Jail Upon a Charge of Assault With Intent to Kill - Fight at Rinehart Hotel Barn Tuesday Evening. On Tuesday evening about five o'clock, Mart. Duval, who stays about a barn on the lot of the Rinehart hotel, Greene street, assaulted Jonathan Dulany, of Franklin township, with a pitchfork, seriously injuring him. The barn is used as a livery, we understand, by Barker brothers and there is considerable drinking going on there. Dulany was in the alley near the barn when Duvall rushed at him and struck him upon the head with the fork, knocking him down. He then continued to beat him with the fork and kicked him severely. Herman Fritz, electrician of the South Penn Telephone company, was in the alley near Greene street working with an automobile and hearing the blows with several others went to the scene. Mr. Fritz took the pitchfork from Duvall and prevented his beating Mr. Dulaney any further. He then took Dulaney [sic] to jail. Policeman Davis arrested Duvall and placed him in jail. Dulany was bleeding badly and it was thought at first that a tine of the fork had been run into his neck. Dr. R. W. Norris was called and dressed his injuries. The physician found a long gash on one side of Dulany's head, beneath which his skull had been fractured and he also found that two of his ribs were fractured, one of which was penetrating a lung. He was removed to his home two miles south of town, yesterday morning, and his condition is reported serious, though he may recover. Duvall is charged with assault with intent to kill and was taken before Justice John T. Goodwin yesterday, when his attorney, C. W. Waychoff, waived a hearing. The prisoner, failing to secure bondsmen, was returned to jail. We do not know what caused the trouble, but both men had been drinking and Duvall demanded eighty cents of Dulany. Dulany showed no intention of fighting, we understand.

K Man Tells About Hunting Huns - Receives Two Shrapnel Wounds. Hamilton R. Church, of Rogersville, received the following interesting letter from Sergeant Harold R. Whyte, of Co. K, 110th regiment: "I suppose you know that I have been wounded. Two pieces of shrapnel got me. One, through the left shoulder, above the chest, and out through the upper arm at the shoulder; the other through the corner of my neck. You probably know near where we have been on the line. I have been on and very close the line for quite a few weeks, though of course only a few days on the firing line. "But as I told you when I wrote before, I have not had any hair-pulling or bayonet sticking matches with the Boche. In fact I was not sure of seeing an armed German until the day before I got hit. Then I saw no more than fifty. I crawled out of my nest at daylight of my own accord and decided to do some sniping (about the same as sharp shooting). I got in a few shots at them. I did not kill over a million and do not suppose I hit any as it was over a half mile. Then they sent around three or four more snipers and a machine gun to me. I quit firing and with a pair of field glasses I looked for the Boche and told them where to shoot. The machine gun soon kept old Jerry down. Perhaps we got a man or so. I kept at this until some time in the afternoon. Then a battalion attacked over this ground where we were attacking the Jerrys. They got them out of their nests. "I was sent out with ten men to go toward this battalion and where we had been watching. We fired on some of them who had been running and they threw up their hands and double-timed back to the fellows who were attacking, and became prisoners. "We looked through some old trenches and dugouts for Germans, but did not find any until I sent a man back with word to the battalion commander. Then he and two more of the boys who were a little ways behind, ran across two German officers and a sergeant, that we had missed. The took them prisoners. "There had not been many bullets coming our way until about this time. Then quite a few came from somewhere. I am about six feet one inch tall, but when I was walking in a five-foot trench and the bullets began coming I thought I was ten feet tall. It only needed a few close ones to make me keep low. The fellow behind me felt sure they got me, but that shows how good a dodger I am. We went back to where our battalion was, but the had advanced so we did not go to them until after dark. "Somehow a German machine gun had been missed by this other battalion and he as proving rather annoying. I thought we might get him while waiting for it to come dark. I took four men and started out, but soon left three of them and went on. To make it short we did not even locate him, but he did us. He certainly kept us low. We had a two-foot bank to crawl along, and he did not let us walk until we had crawled quite a distance. "Where that German was, I don't know, and I guess no one else did that day. When he was firing at us we had men all over the field where he apparently was. Even the colonel asked where he was, but I could not tell. All I got out of looking for him was some water which was welcome, and a pair of field glasses. Then the next morning Jerry gave us some shells, and I got part of them. Result - hospital. I am traveling about now and as usual have a very good appetite." November 7, 1918 Sergeant Patterson Talks Interestingly of the War Praises Men of Co. K and 110th Regiment. - Appearance of Country at Marne River Reminded Him of Greene County. - His Brotherm Corp. Dorsey Patterson, Recently Wounded. Sergeant Floyd W. Patterson, of Co. K., 110th Regiment, who arrived here from France, last week, has been spending the time visiting friends and giving information to relatives of soldiers, who are anxious to hear directly from their boys overseas. His kindness in this respect is greatly appreciated. We had the pleasure of a conversation with him a few evenings since. Sergeant is yet suffering from the effects of German gas and shrapnel wounds , but is slowly recuperating and will return to the hospital at Markleton, Pa., Nov. 28. When he received his wounds he had a very remarkable escape from instant death. On August 23, while at the front, he suffered from mustard gas and was ordered sent to the emergency or field hospital. The next morning he and three comrades were placed in an ambulance to be taken to a base hospital. Before the ambulance had started the Huns began to shell the hospital and a shell fell beneath their ambulance and exploded. Two of the soldiers in the ambulance were killed instantly, the thrid one had one hand blown off and shrapnel penetrated Sergeant Patterson's feet and legs. The great toe on his right foot was amputated. He later was placed in the same hospital with Wm. Throckmorton and some other Waynesburg boys. Sergt. Patterson states that the 110th Regiment was sent to the front, to be held as reserves, on July first, in anticipation of an attack by the Germans on July 4, our national holiday. The Huns did not attack then, but were expected to attack on July 14, French Bastile day, and our regiment was again placed in the trenches. At this time, the Germans occupied a sharp salient on the south side of the Marne and the French attacked this salient. Two companies of the 110th, (one being from Somerset and the other from Latrobe) were moved forward along the salient as observers. The French troops executed one of their retreats in preparation for a counter attack, and the officers of the two companies from the 110th, failing to receive or understand the French order to retreat, these units were surrounded by the Huns and all captured who survived the fight. The American commanders put an end to retreating as a strategic move, asserting that all ground taken should be held. The American troops do not construct trenches. They fight entirely in the open. On July 29 occurred the big drive in which Co. K suffered such severe loss, 42 men of the company being killed in battle, and there were about 80 casualties, including the wounded. Nearly all of the Greene county boys who were killed were operating machine guns. Every man of the company who was a machine gunner was killed excepting Wm. Throckmorton and he was wounded and recently died in France. Norman Zahniser was designated as a first-class machine gunner and Corp. Murphy, Benj. Manning, Harold Cary, Harry Dunn, Charles Moore, were among other machine gun men who fell. Sergt. Patterson, who was a battalion supply sergeant, had charge of the burial of the dead. Those who were killed were wrapped in their blankets and temporarily buried, then after the battle was over their bodies were taken up, each one placed in a box and reburied, the graves being carefully marked. All of these 42 men lie buried together. In speaking of the appearance of the country, near the Marne river, where the great battle took place, Sergt. Patterson stated that it reminded him very much of Greene county. He says the hills and valleys are similar to ours. A woods which they captured from the Huns, after a sharp fight with machine gunners, who were occupying trees, he said was identical in appearance with the wooded hill opposite the stone [part missing] near where picnics are held. The "York river" at that point is no larger than Ten Mile creek at the Throckmorton farm. Sergt. Patterson praises most highly every man who went overseas with the company. He spoke particularly of the clean lives of the men, of their manly spirit and of how bravely they went into battle. He sadi before a battle it was common to see groups of boys gathered together while a prayer would be offered. These are the kind of men our country sent to fight the Huns. In addition to the service stripe and two gold stripes to which he was entitled on account of wounds, Sergt. Patterson wears upon his left shoulder a beautiful cord decoration, conferred upon the eight divisions of the U. S. army by a French citation, these divisions bearing the honor of having saved Paris from capture. The divisions are as follows: 1st, 2nd 3rd, 4th, 26th, 28th, 33rd, and 42nd. General Muir, commander of the 28th Division, General Darrell, brigade commander, Colonel Thompson, commander of the 110th Regiment; Lieut. Col. Ed. martin, present commander of the Regiment, are all popular among the troops, as are also other officers of the different units. Corp. Dorsey Patterson, of Company K, a brother of Sergt. Patterson was seriously wounded in both legs, on October 5, by machine gun bullets, a letter having been received by their father, William Patterson, last Saturday, containing the word. The letters was written Oct. 9, by Corp. Patterson, who stated he had undergone an operation, but was getting along finely. November 7, 1918 John B.
