Williams Pond - Charles Brown, who resides near this place, is one of the county’s really old men in point of years. Today he celebrates his 96th birthday. Like most men who reach advanced years, he does not appear that old, but is still remarkably young appearing, many men in the seventies not being as “spry or active” as he now is. He is a type of citizen to whom we can “point with pride,” a reader of The Democrat for many years and he still enjoys reading of county and national happenings.

Factoryville - Rufus P. Lindley died at his home on Friday, October. 16, 1925. Death came to relieve him of suffering from a compilation of diseases and advanced age. He was the son of Levi and Mary Lindley, and was born April 26, 1841on a farm in Lathrop township. When the war broke out, in 1861, young Lindley, then a strong, healthy farmer, enlisted in Co. F, 52nd Pa Volunteers, and served until the close of the war—over four years. At one time he was taken prisoner by the Confederates and confined in Andersonville prison for over eight months. His strong physical constitution and mental nature enabled him to withstand the privations of those months of inhuman treatment. After four years spent in the service of our country, and when the much longed for peace came, R. P. Lindley came back home and like thousands of other farmer boys “took hold of the plow and never looked back.” He married Miss Hattie Giles, a former schoolmate, and made the Lindley home in Lathrop township a pleasant spot. They were members of the Methodist Church in Brooklyn and the parents of two children. Advancing years and the ill health of Mrs. Lindley made it advisable to sell the farm and retire from the strenuous live. They purchased a home in Factoryville, where the death of Mrs. Lindley occurred. Rufus married his second wife, Mrs. Hattie Adams, of Kingsley, and they lived together until his death. His funeral was attended by members of Capt. Rice Post, G. A. R., Brooklyn, where Rufus served as commander at the time of his death. A detail of members of the American Legion acted as casket bearers, and “taps” was sounded as all that remained of R. P Lindley on earth was deposited beneath the flag he served so well in the beautiful cemetery in Factoryville.

Susquehanna - Who’d live in a big city when there is so much fun to be had on the Oakland side of the river. The other night two Oakland boys, strolling along Westfall avenue, met up with a skunk. They recognized the specie, and as one of the boys had a flashlight, they decided to corner and annihilate Mr. Polecat. They cornered him in the yard at the Houlihan home, and while one of the boys dazzled the skunk with the spotlight, the other lad let go with a sizable rock. This bombardment was responded to by the skunk, who also did some cannonading. One boy was badly “wounded” and his kin only found relief, and allowed him to return to the bosom of the family, after his clothes had been buried and he had spent an hour in the bath tub.
