H, 143d Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers, and was with the Army of the Potomac in 1863, being in the thick of the fight at Gettysburg. He attended the fiftieth anniversary of Gettysburg, in 1913, having the honor of being chosen one of the four flag bearers of the 143d Regiment.

His first wife, Bertania Turrell, of Forest Lake, bore five daughters and one son, she passing in 1887. A second wife, Almira Hamlin, died in 1897 and a third wife, Caroline Sterling, survives him.

Montrose – The hill climb on Bank Hill, put on by Joe Donovan, agent for Paige and Jewett automobiles, recently, was a complete demonstration of the wonderful power of the Jewett “6.” This hill is considered one of the most difficult in Montrose. The Jewett car, carrying five passengers, went over the top at 18 miles per hour, and with two passengers at 25 miles per hour. ALSO The Montrose High School foot-ball team played the Honesdale team on the latter’s grounds. Honesdale, who put in many outside players, won the game.

Susquehanna – The purchase of the creamery here, by the Dairymen’s League, means much to the dairy interests in this section. The League will transform the local milk plant into a shipping station, also will probably make changes, enlarging it and making it the central station for a large League territory.

Springville – Many from here and surrounding country attended the sale of household goods at Kasson Corners. The present owners, Mr. and Mrs. Myron Kasson, are loath to part with this fine farm and summer home, descended from father and grandfather, but desirous of a warmer climate and a permanent home there, will pass from here leaving regrets of many old and new friends, and we wish them a long and happy life wherever they may locate.

Hop Bottom – The M. E. church has been undergoing some decided improvements. A new concrete porch and steps have been built at the entrance.

Fair Hill, Forest Lake Twp. – Several met at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Silas Jagger and cut and split about 20 cords of wood last Saturday, for which they are very thankful. [Follow up to last week’s article saying that men from New York came and cut the wood. All was a kind gesture to help the Jagger’s.]

Jackson – The What-So-Ever class met with Mrs. A. O. Strockbine. A bee was had by the men for the purpose of cutting Mr. Strockbine’s winter wood. Mr. Strockbine, who has been in a Buffalo hospital for some time, is on the gain.

South Ararat – Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Burman, spent the last of the week here with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Burman.

He had a tent to cover the car by night and the car will be used to sleep in on the tour.

Forest City – An “Army and Navy” store is to be opened in the storeroom lately occupied by J. Karpinski. ALSO A masquerade party was held in the Grange Hall Monday evening.

Friendsville – Miss Katherine Leary, daughter of Thomas Leary, of Friendsville, and Edward Moran, of Friendsville, were married in St. Francis Xavier church, Friendsville.

Brushville – The brutal murder of an elderly man, named Cyrus Payne, occurred at his home, about three miles from Susquehanna. He lived alone and kept considerable money in the house, which was probably the cause of the crime. State troopers and police are trying to solve the mystery, but no clues could be found. He was apparently killed while eating, his head being crushed at the back. His only surviving relative is Thomas Payne, of Susquehanna. Undertaker Perrine took charge of the body. More in next week’s 100 Years column.
