day of the death, at his home in Kittan-
ming, of John w. DeWalt after an ill
ness OF about three weeks Of typhoid fe-
YER. The deceased was born at Licking
Vile, Clarion county, December 20. 1871,
being the son of David and Martha Il.
DeWalt, the former dying some years
ago. His mother is now Mrs. II. NJ.
Iahniser, of this place. He yves the third
ofa family of five children, the only one
now surviving being Mrs. G. w. Amer,
of Vandergrift, Pa. About six years ago
Mr.. DeWalt was united in marriage with
Miss Anna Helscel, of Tionesta, who with
three small children, survives.
In the death of Johnnie DeWalt an
honest, energetic and well-beloved man
passes away, and universal regret is ex-
pressed at his unexpected demise. He
was popular with our people because he
was a man in every respect, strictly up
right in all his dealings, and courteous
and generous with all who knew him.
When he was stricken with the fever
which is now so prevalent in Kittanning,
his mother, Mrs. Zahniser, went TO his
bedside and assisted in his care until
death claimed her boy.
The body has been brought 10 this
place and the funeral will take place to-
morrow afternoon from the home of his
mother. Surely the stricken wife and
little children nave the heartfelt sympa-
thy of all in this great loss.

Something New in laundering.

The Grandin Lumber Co. has begun
operations on its President Twp pur-
chase, A mill is being erected on the
j. G. Stephens farm at Eagle Rock on the
west side of the river. Although pre-
liminary surveys were made with the
idea of building a temporary bridge, it
was found impracticable. Instead sus-
pended cable power will be used to trans
port the logs across the river to the mill
and a contract has been made with the
Li%dgerwood Galloway Co. TO put up
such an apparatus. The distance, 1900
feet, will be spanned by a p inch steel
cable mounted on to~wers-the one on the
east bank to be 30 feet high and on the
west bank 80 feet. On these towers the
cable will be mounted. On this cable
will run a carrier, taking the logs from
the car and depositing them in the pond
or at the mill, all automatically. The ca
pacity of this carrier is fifteen ons and it
and it is guaranteed to make ten
round trips an hour, carrying this
load each trip. The motive power, a dou-
BILE cylinder tandem friction engine with
| cylinders l2x12 inches. This method of
transportation, while new as connected
with the lumber business at least of this
section, has proved successful in quarry

greater length than the one herewith
spoken of. Its installation at Eagle
Rock will be watched with interest. 1t
is cal cula,ed that six or eight weeks will
see the work completed,-Tidioute News.

AHLSTRAND.

John NJ. Ahlstrand, one of Erie
county's old and prominent citizens
died at his home in Mill Village, Pa, on
Friday night, December Is, 1908, after an
illness of several weeks. He had not been
in robust health for some months back,
but hal not been confined to the house.
Mr.. AElstrand is well remembered
by a large circle of our citizens, having
for a number of years been a resident OF
Tionesta, locating here about 1865, where
he conducted a store for several years,
afterward moving to East Hickory, Pa.
From there he moved to Mill Village,
where he was united in marriage with
Miss Ellen Hunter, youngest daughter of
the late William Hunter, and where he
continued to reside, with the exception of
a year or more spent in jamestown, n.
Y, until his demise. Mr.. Ahlstrand was
from early manhood a devout and active
member of the Methodist Episcopal
church and was never absent from its
services when it was possible for him 10
be there. In his death his community
loses a splendid citizen, and the church a
strong pillar. Mr.. Ahlstrand was aged
about " years, and besides his widow,
leaves a host of warm personal friends to
mourn his decease. The funeral was
held on Sabbath last, and we learn was
attended by an immense concourse Of
sympathizing neighbors and friends.
His nephew, Charles Hunter, of this
place, was in attendance.

Erg RECENT DEATHS.

Once again, at the Christmas tide, death
Ina sthrown its shadow acrossthe threshold
of one of our happy homes, and has left a
hearth stone desolate. A sainted mother
has been taken from her loved on earth
where tho world is one OF joy, reminding
us that ''our life is scarce the wink ling
of a star in Gods eternal day." Another
has left u midst and joined the immor-
tai throng. One whose work has been
well done and who is now at rest. A
member Of a family whom little For
est delights To honor. The grand
daughter of one of the earliest pioneers.
and the daughter of one whose record has
passed into history as zone of the nations

II, 1908, at LOS. Elizabeth Holema1, VIII o
was a daughter of Alexander and Clarissa
Sexton Holeman, was born at Holeman's
Ferry, Venango, NOW Forest county,
April 10. 1920. Being blessed with intel
ligent parents she was enabled to obtain
a fair education regardless of the meager
advantages those early days afforded
When in her twenties she was united in
marriage to DR.. w. f. Hunter, of Tones
ia, who, till the time of his death, some
twenty-seven years ago, was a leading
physician of this place. Their union
was blessed with One son and four daugh-
ters, all of whom grew to manhood and
womanhood and survive their parents
except the eldest daughter, Jennie, who
died years ago. Their home was one
where love abounded and the death of the
father was a heavy sorrow. AS a wife
aud mother, Mrs. Hunter was devoted,
faithful, tender, loving and warmly APP
preciative of the boundless love and uD-
dying devotion not only of her children
hy nature, but also OF her children by
marriage. OF the children who remain
are: Minnie, wife of Albert w. Grove,
the well known oil producer, who was to
her as an only son; Misses Clara and
Nettie, at home, and DR.. Frank s. Hunter,
a dentist of high repute, and his wife,
Mrs. Jessie Hunter.
Mrs. Hunter was one of eight children,
four of whom survive her.: Mrs. j.. G.
Dale, OF Tionesta; Mrs. Mary Maze, OF
Darlington John Holeman, of Pleasant
vile, and Richard holeman of Mill Viii
lage.
When but sixteen, Mrs. Hunter was
converted and united with the Methodist
Episcopal church, of lionesta, and for
almost three score and ten years, she has
been a devoted christian.
The funeral services were conducted
at her late residence on Saturday after
noon at two O'Clock, by her pastor, Rev.
q. II. Nickle, assisted by a former pas
tor, Rev. c. C. Rumberger, of Big Run,
Pa. AS she lay in state in her beautiful
home am idst a p~rofusion of costly floral
offerings, even the natural heart could
not but say "She is not dead but sleep
eth" At the close of the services, her
body was laid to rest in the beautiful
riverside cemetery, beside that of her
husband.

LANDERS.

The passing away of this truly good
woman occurred on Sunday morning
about one o'clock, after an illness of
some three weeks, aged 6S years, eight
months and three days. Her maiden
name was Bridget Doyle, and she was
born in Cooperstown, County Kilkenny,
Ireland, April II, 1885, and came to
America in the year 1854, to join a sister
aud two brothers, who had preceded her
to this country a short time before. At
Kinzua, Pa, on October 10, 1860, she be-
came the wife ofAdoniram Judson Land
ers, a former well known lumberman
whose death occurred here March 81, 1852.
Four children, two sons and two daugh-
ters, were born to them as a result OF this
union, the daughters dying when quite
young. She also proved to be a klnd and
afIectionate mother to two orphan child
rem, a son and a daughter adopted into
the family. The son, Will, meeting his
death in a boiler explosion near Snyders-
burg, Clarion county, where the family
was living, some thirty years ago, She
Is therefore survived by II daughter,
Minnie NJ now Mrs. f.. w. Bowman,
and two sons, James j., and Joseph w.
Landers, all residents of Tionerta. 1t
can truthfully be said of her that she did
not live for self, but was a true home
mother in every sense of the word, no
duty being too great for her to perform
for those she loved, and her passing away
leaves a vacancy that can never be filled
by those near and dear to her. Mrs.
Landers Joined the M. e. church at
Youngsyille, Pa, in the year 1873, re-
naming a steadfast, consistent member OF
that church until the end. She was also
a charter member of Irwin Council, No.
n, r. II. Oft, of Tionesta, and carried
an insurance Of 81, 600 in that order in
favor of her children. The burial took
place from her late home in this place on
Tuesday afternoon at 2o'clock, and was
largely attended. Her pastor Rev. o. ii,
Nickle, assisted by Rev. Il. NJ. Small,
co nducted the services and the interment
was in the family plot in Riverside GENE

Murdered For Her Money.

Madison. Va, July Mrs.
Benjamin Lowrey, a welI-known
and highly-gespected lady living
alone near Good Hope church, in
Madison county, was murdered
on some recent date not definitely
known and her house robbed.
The body of the old lady was
found lying on the floor of her
room almost in u nude condition
and blood spattered over the floor
and all about the room. The
coroner's investigation developed
the fact that her skull had been
fractured in two places and her
body otherwise mutilated. ft is
estimated that about 5000 or 500

by those making the investigation
that the murder occurred last
Thursday night.
