The Cambria Freeman of last week tells Of q
romantic wedding which has become sorrowful
one. About month ago Miss Helen Reade, the
only daughter of George NJ. Reade, Esq, Of the
Cambria county bar, was privately married to a
Mr.. 7. II. stophell, a resident Of slronstown,
Indiana county, by Rev. Mr.. Thomas, pastor Of
tho Cambria township Congregational Church.
There had been clandestine eourtship going on
for several months, and the marriage was kept
very quiet on account Of the known opposition Of
the brides father to it, Il appears that the ladys
mother is not living. Until last Saturday, the
bride lived at her fathers house, her husband
having failed from some reason or other, publicly
TO acknowledge her as his wife. On Saturday
last, Mr.. siophell arrived at Ebenaburg and put
up at the Blair Hotel, and here his wife for the
FIRST time joined hin. It was observed that the
bride was in a state of grea, excitement, and the
repeated eiIerts Of her husband and friends failed
to calm her. The reason Of her trepidation was
apparent to all when Mr.. Mathiot Resde her
only brother, rushed into the room with heavily
oaded:bright new revolver, and made for Mr..
stophell as II that gentleman was doomed to in
slant destruction. Mrs. stophell quickly placed
herself between her husband and her enraged
brother and the revolver was wrested from him
by Mr.. Stophell and n son Of the landlord. This
exciting scene, together with other things of a
like nature which bad happened before, proved
too much for the unhappy young bride. She was
imlne nediately taken to bed in the hotel, but, in-
stead Of improving, her condition became worse
and worse until the following Thursday, when
death relieved her from all earthly sorrow.

DEATH or JACOB NEFF, sr.


Jacob Nea, sr., whose feeble health has for
some time given his friends fears Of approach
ing dissolution, expired at . O'Clock on Tuesday
morning, September sth, at the residence Of his
son, Mr.. Joseph l.. Neh, in New Washington,
The deceased was born in Mannheim township
Lancaster county, Pennsylvania, January 7th,
1895, and was therefore at the time Of his death,
eighty four years, eight months, and two days old
When Mr.. Meif was two years Of age, his parent 8
removed to Bald Eagle Valley, aud settled in
what is now known as Howard township, Cent re
county, where he remained until 1929, when he
emigrated to the wilds Of Ceardeld, aud cleared
up a farm within the limits of what Is now The
pleasant little borough Of New Washington.
Mr.. Neff being one of the first settlers in thii
part ofthe county, endured for wears all the hard
chips incident to pioneer life. The nearest mil
at that time was at Cherry Tree, in Indiana coun
ty, at a distance Of ten miles, where Mr.. Nei car
riod his grain on the back nf an OK, through
dense forest. On one occasion, on reaching Beav.
er run, the stream was so swollen from rec EN-
rains that Mr.. NeG found II impossible to crosi
with his OK, but, with his characteristic pluck FOL
overcoming difficulties, he shoudsrei the bag o.
grain and after securing his OK to a tree, wadet
the stream and packed his load TO the mill, dis
tance Of four miles, bringing back his -four in the
same way. Mr.. NeG was married 10 1870 "a
Catherine Barnhart, n very estimable lady, who
died May s,h, 1879 at the ripe old age of eighty
four years.
In politics, Mr.. Neif was an ardent Democrat
and earnest in his principles. lie cast his frs,
vote in 1916, for James Monroe, and continued
voting the Democratic ticket the remainder Of biz
life, never having missed general election in
sixty three years. In his moral qualities. rigid in
tegrity and hearty liberality were superior traits
He died In the full persuasion Of the truths o
the Christian religion, which checred him in BIZ
last moments, by calmness and tranquility o
mind. lie will be remembered as n generous
kind-hearted old gentleman, who has sel an ad
mirable example to the young, by the integrity o
his conduct. ..
