From the Titusville, Pa, Journal we
learn of the death of William Watson, who
many years ago kept hotel in this village,
and afterward at Lyndon and st. Johns
bury. He was a noted hotel man in his
day. He went to the oil regions many
years since and made Pennsylvania his
home. He was 80 years of age.
The past week adds another week to
the exceptionally pleasant and agreeable
with during the last few months. 1t was
a stormy week, not farther off than Mass
achusetts, however. The sugar makers
are housing their tubs, and preparations
are being made for springs work all
around.
Horace Hyde, who has been spending
the winter in California, was among the
number who started out from Los Angeles,
California at the time of the alleged dis
covery of gold. The whole thing proved a
hoax and an expensive affair. There were
nine in the party and they made thor
ouSn prospecting tour, discovering hard
ly the color of gold. Mr.. Hyde sends
home box of fine California oranges
which are delight to the eye and palate.
A large number of friends, including the
cornet band called on Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
Lovewell on Tuesday evening without in
vitation. They found Mr.. and Mrs. Love
well in genial mood, however, and left
them nice chair and some $15 in money
with which to partially furnish their new
parlor. Mr.. Lovewells people have a
new house nearly completed and their
friends felt it a pleasure to give them a
gentle housewarming. The band favored
the company with several pieces of music
and an hour was happily spent. May Mr..
and Mrs. L. live long to enjoy their pleas
ant home.
Fred Cobb, who has been hard sick for
several days, died at the Crystal Lake
House this morning. He was the son of
the late Timothy G. Cobb of this town,
and has resided here most of his lifetime.
He entered the army while out West and
served with honor, but contracted some
that followed him to his death.
We believe he was the last male descend
ant, if not the last descendant, of Col. FL
lis Cobb, one of the first and most promi-
nent settlers of this town and village.
An aged mother will be all of the Cobb
family who will follow Fred to his grave.
