We had the pleasure of meeting
Mr.. John Routh, of Pittsburg,
during his stay of a few hours in
this place one day last week.
Mr.. Routh had his residence in
McConnellsburg from 1s47 to
1851, and lived up on Water Street
in the old Moilinitz prop erty OPP
posite R. n. Sinners. During
the former part of his residence
here, he drove stage between this
place and Chambersburg, being
contemporary with John Bender
Seth Mason Dave Keltner and
other knights of the lash who
have all long since passed from
the stage: during the latter, he
was engaged in the butchering
business.
I'm 1851 Mr.. Routh left this
place and went to Pittsburg; and
in 1858, went with the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company, became
% passenger conductor, and held
that position until 1881, when he
became tired of railroading and
went into business in Pittsburg,
oud is now comfortably fixed. "
Before coming to McConnells-
burg, i'm ls47, he held position
on the Franklin railroad, the
portion of what is now the Cumb.
erIaud valley leading from Cham
bersburQ TO Hagerstown.
When the road was first put
down, the trains we're drawn by
locomotives, but the company
finding that too expensive, dis
carded steam, and used horses
and mules TO pull the cars. Mr.,
Routh was engineer, fireman (fir-

the second son Of George Stouer,
who died in the army before
Vicksburg in 1868. He left Il
widow and three children, Ed

Merrick A., the subject Of this
sketch, and Laura, who lives in
Chicago. Shortly after the death
of Mr.. Stoner his widow died,
leaving the three children. Will

brought the little orphans to this
place to the home of their grand
father, jacob Stoner. They were
then taken charge Of by their
aunt, Mrs. Ann Benford, who

the pleasure of the writer of this
sketch to live in his family and il
can be truthfully said that Mer-
rick was man in every sense OF
the word. He has gone but he
will not be forgotten by those
who We're intimately acquainted
with him. TO his family we eX
