Landis, John (Rev.) - 1881

Brubaker, Jacob (Rev.) - 1881

Gibble, John (Rev.) - 1881

Funeral of Mrs. Abram Brubaker.--
The funeral of Mrs. Abram Brubaker, in Elizabeth township, which took place in Friday of last week, proved to be one of immense proportions. It is rather difficult, not having been there, to get a correct estimate, but it is reported as having been exceedingly large.

We, ourselves, saw a carriage with the number 125 and this was certainly not the highest number among the many. Conjecture would lead us to suppose there might have been between two and three hundred vehicles in all.

The relationship is rather extensive; the weather was a little warm, but still pleasant; the season an unusually busy one, but, nevertheless, she had a very large funeral. The exercises were conducted by ministers from both the Dunkard and Mennonite persuasions, the Reverend gentlemen in attendance being Revs. John Gibble, Jacob Brubaker, Christian Risser and John Landis. May her ashes rest in peace.
~ The Lititz Record, 07-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 5

Died.--

The obsequies were conducted by Revs. John and Hiram Gibble. The deceased was the mother of three children, who survive her. She moved to Lititz from Ephrata in April last. Annie Erb, of Pine Hill, is a great grand-daughter and has witnessed the burial of three grand and four great-grand parents.

Sharp, John - 1881

Brickerville News.--
Evan Sharp, son of John Sharp, butcher, fell into a 16-feet-deep cellar, that is used for hanging in meat soon after it is killed and dressed, by means of a windlass; otherwise the cellar is not used. It was at 2 o’clock the other night that Mr. Sharp was working in the shop, and it was dark as he went to the place, made a misstep and was precipitated to the ground below, striking the wall at the side falling.

He is badly bruised about the head, having his jaws broken on both sides of his face, on the one side twice, besides a very ugly gash across the forehead and other serious wounds and bruises about the head. He is in a very critical condition and only time can tell whether he will recover or not.

~ The Lititz Record, 07-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 4

Jonny Pennell, who does not know Jonny? is hostler at the Clay Hotel, and is full of pranks and stories as ever. His fast team flourishes as of yore.

By the way, something of interest attaches to that hotel. It is one hundred and eighteen (118) years old, and as solid and unshaken as on the day of its completion. Those old-timers used to build “for keeps”. No flimsy frame - but solid stone. On one of the window panes is written, with some instrument, “John Erb, 1827”. It was probably the father of John Erb, of Lititz, who left this record for future generations to read.

Niess, William - 1881

Improvements.--
Mr. Elam Roland will this week begin work on his new two-story dwelling, to be erected on the street recently opened from the lower end of town and leading to Shreiber’s. This has an encouraging look. Though not the first house on the new street, Mr. William Niess also having one in process of construction. We hope soon to see it surrounded by substantial neighbors. There is already talk of erecting a residence on the corner of Main street, on the lot owned by A. M. Bruckart. Let the good work go on.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE

Tobacco.--The U.S. Tobacco journal says: “Our market has dwindled down to a mere shadow compared with its greatness during the past six weeks. The cause lies in the stiffness of holders, and, to a certain extent, decrease of fine wrapper lots. Prospective buyers stand aghast at the figures that are being asked for fine goods, and even with the absolute certainty of no return to lower prices for a long time to come, they are loth <sic> to succumb to the inevitable. No new feature was apparent during the week which might tend to change the market. The reports from the country are more positive daily that the ’81 crop, as a whole will not exceed that of ’80; Pennsylvania again claims to have raised the “finest” of all crops that ever her soil produced. At any rate, so far as can be judged now, the ’81 crop is, if not a success, not a failure”.

The dullness of the local market compares with that of the general. Buyers are pursuing the even tenor of their ways, looking out for chances and buying when they can.

We have to record the following local sales: Mr. J. H. Stauffer purchased of Peter Steif, 1 acre at 10 cents round; of D. D. Burkholder, 4 ½ acres at 27, 10, 5 and 5 cents; of John S. Nicely, 4 acres at 32, 15, 8 and 3 cents; of Andrew Kauffman, 2 acres at 30, 12, 8 and 3 cents; of Henry Eaby, 2 ½ acres at 30, 15, 8 and 3 cents; of Christian Leeking, ½ acre at 25, 12, 5, and 5 cents; of Elias Buch, 1 ½ acres at 25, 8 and 3 cents; of John Leib, 2 acres at 27, 10 and 3 cents.

Bucher, Jacob - 1881

Items Of All Sorts.--
Mr. Jacob Bucher, living on the Brickerville road, near Warwick, has just put up a fine wind-mill for the purpose of pumping water for stock. It works to a charm, and is indicative of an enterprising farmer.
~ The Lititz Record, 07-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 4

Henderson, W. - 1881

Items Of All Sorts.--
W. Henderson, who is stopping at the Lititz Springs Hotel, was in Baltimore when the Presidential funeral train passed through, and states the assemblage placed on the track coins of various denominations, from standard silver dollars to double eagles, for the purpose of keeping them as mementoes of the occasion. He also states that the people, without regard to political affiliations, hung Guiteau in effigy.

Personal.--

~ The Lititz Record, 14-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 5

Kreider, Albert - 1881

Items Of All Sorts.--
Albert Kreider has mounted in front of his place of business a mammoth coffee pot. A capacious vessel that a Maximin could not drain; verily, a “big thing”, but, then, it represents a big interest.

Roth, Isaac - 1881

Brunnerville Matters.--
Isaac Roth’s new house is fast approaching completion. It stands on, or near, the spot where the former one stood, but is a decided improvement on the old one. It is a large, two-story frame structure, differently built, and more conveniently arranged than was the old one. It is quite an improvement to the little village of Brunnerville.
~ The Lititz Record, 07-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 3

Mr. Geo. Steinmetz, merchant, is at present erecting a dwelling on the lot adjoining the residence of Dr. Kline. It is to be a building of fair proportions, and after it is done will add materially to this place.
~ The Lititz Record, 07-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 3

Improvements go on apace. Our enterprising merchant, Mr. George W. Steinmetz, is building a handsome two-story frame house on the lot adjoining Dr. J. Y. Kline. Mr. Steinmetz has faith in real estate, and owns several houses.
~ The Lititz Record, 04-Nov-1881, Page 2, Column 3

Risser, Henry - 1881

From Clay.
Business Activity - Improvements and Progression.
Henry Risser, cigar manufacturer, is not able with his present force of workmen to meet the demands. He has a force of nine hands, six making cigars and three employed in stripping tobacco. He expects shortly to increase the number to twelve or thirteen. Mr. Risser would like to employ nine or ten cigar makers and the three strippers whom he has at present at work. He intends, also, to go into the leaf tobacco business. This speaks well for our friend Henry, and shows that he is a man of business tact and qualifications.
