Child Burned TO Death.

A five year.old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Thornton, who reside at
Henry's Mills, a short distance above
Lynch, Howe township, was fatally
burned about ten o'clock Monday fore
noon. The child was left playing in a
room In which there was no fire aud
shortly afterwards came running to her
mother with her clothing all on fire. The
mother was working outside the house
and had on cape which had become
dampened by the rain. Wrapping this
about the blazing form of her daughter
she partly quenched the flames and with
her bare hands tore the burning garments
from the child's body. The child was
badly burned, the worst burns being
across the abdomen. A physician was
summoned from Sheffield, but nothing
could be done to save the little sufferers
life and she passed away at six o'clock
Monday evening. Mrs. Thornton was
also severely burned about the hands.
1t is not known from what cause the
child's clothing became ignited.
Mr.. Thornton has resided on Tionesta
creek for several years and is we'll known
to the people of that section. Mrs. Thorn
ton is daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Henry
M iller of Hickory township. The many
friends of the family will sympathize
with them in this sad sflliction. The
dead child was the second youngest of
large family of children.
The funeral services take place today,
with interment at East Hickory.

RECENT DEATHS.
DICKRAGER,


John Henry Dickrsger, eldest son of
family of four children, born to Detrick
and Sophia Dickrager, was born in the
city OF Pittsburg, Pa, December 7, 1851,
and died Sunday evening at his home in
Hickory township, October 10, 1909, aged
81 years ten months and three days. In
the year 1861 he came with his parents to
the family homestead on German Hill,
where he attended the common schools
and received liberal education. After
becoming of age he learned the stone
mason's trade, but since the year 1890 he
has resided upon his farm near the Posey
Fields in Hickory township and has fol-
lowed the occupation of farmer. In the
year 1900, he was married to Miss Mary
Frill, who with family of two children,
Curtis and Ruth, are left TO mourn the
loss of a kind husband and good father.
He is also survived by two brothers and
one sister as follows: Mrs. Mary Vein
gard and Fred Dickrsger, of German
Hill, and William Dickrager, Tionesta.
Some three years ago his health failed
him, and he grew worse until finally his
sutferings were relieved by death at the
time mentioned, Funeral services were
conducted at his late home by Rev. l.. r.
Phipps on Tuesday afternoon at two
o'clock, after which the body was laid to
rest in the Zuendel church yard.

1888, met at Tidioute, Pa, Thursday, Oct
7, 1909, the corps being well represented
by a number of delegates. The morning
session was an open one, called to order
and presided oyer in very able manner
by the Senior Vice President, Mrs. Maud
Thompson, in the absence of the Pres-
dent, Mrs. Wilbur. We had with us our
Department President, Mrs. Darlington,
Department Secretary, Mrs. Lynch, and
several other department officers. The
regular routine of business was taken up
Fine reports were read by delegates
showing us the good and noble work that
is being done by the w. r. G. The meet
ing adjourned and we were invited to
their large dining room to a most sump-
tuous dinner of four courses, which was
enjoyed by all. The ladies of Corps No,
are noted for their liberal way of enter
tanning. The afternoon session was
called to order and the order business
tax en- up, which was very interesting to
all, after which we adjourned and we're
again invited, along with their Post, to a
banquet never to be forgotten by those
who attended There was public in
stallation in the evening of the following
officers: President, Mrs. Cummings, No.
5, Tidioute; Senior Vice President, Mrs.
Williams, No. So, Johnsonburg; Junior
Vice President, Miss Hams, st. Marys;
Treasurer, Mrs. Jennie L. Agnew, No.
1877, Tionesta. Following this we en-
joyed some fine speeches by department
officers and the comrades, and some fine
old songs were sung by the comrades.
This was convention to be remembered
by all. 1t was very harmonious in every
detail. We all left for our different
homes feeling it was good to have been
there. The ladies of No. were disap-
pointed that there were not more of us.
Those of us who we're there are very
grateful for the hospitality Corps No.
showed us and are all looking forward
when we shall be so royalty entertained
again. The convention will be held in
Bradford next year, and may the Great
Commander of us all bless and be with
us in our noble work of the w. X. G.
