Kauffman, Tobe H. - 1881

Narrow Escapes.--
Last week Mr. Tobe H. Kauffman took a load of wheat to Oregon mills.  The bags were unloaded in the upper story by means of a rope and pully <sic>.  Mr. Kauffman was in the wagon when a bag of grain fell from above.  He heard a shout, and leaped just in time to escape from the impending doom.  The bag struck the wagon and was completely wrecked.  Had Mr. Kauffman waited to learn the cause of the outcry he would inevitably have been killed or terribly injured.
~ The Lititz Record, 21-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 5


Curiosities.--
Mr. Tobe Kauffman placed on our desk a freak of nature in the shape of twin tobacco leaves.  One leaf grows out of the other, and they are of equal size.  It is very seldom, if more than once in a lifetime, that a person sees a thing of that kind.

Gensemer, William - 1881

A Tragedy.--
Last Saturday night at a late hour Union Station, a prosperous village about ten miles east of Lititz, was the scene of a terrible tragedy - the fourth in this county within six months.  Samuel H. Miller, a wealthy merchant and proprietor of the Miller House, fired three bullets into the body of William Gensemer, who died soon after.  Miller claims to have acted in self defense, but others assert that the deed was done premeditatedly in accord with a threat made some time ago.

Both Miller and Gensemer have borne fair reputations up to the time of the present sad affair.  Miller owns a large store and tavern in the village, is in good pecuniary circumstances, is almost fifty years of age, has a respectable family and has been looked upon as one of the most useful and progressive men of the neighborhood.

Gensemer was a tanner, a good and steady workman, though he sometimes drank more than was good for him.  He was about 33 years of age and leaves a wife and child.  He did not own the tannery in which he worked, but he owned a house in which he lived.  He was not rich but his near relatives are among the most solid people in the northern end of the county.  Miller was committed to the Lancaster county jail, and will have a hearing tomorrow (Saturday) before Judge Garmau.
~ The Lititz Record, 21-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 4


The Verdict.--
The interest in the Miller-Gensemer tragedy at union Station has not abated; in fact, it may be said to have crystallized, and as there are always two sides of a question so are there two determined factions - for and against the prisoner.  Miller was taken to Union Station on Saturday, by Constable Wolfskill, of East Cocalico, and Chief of Police Deichler, of Lancaster, for a hearing before ‘Squire Garman.

On the arrival of the train at the station a large crowd of excited people assembled and the officers hurried the prisoner to the justice’s office by a short route.

At the hearing two witnesses were examined.  Clinton F. Reager testified to the shooting, and Dr. Weist to the death from gunshot wounds.  No defense was made.  Bail was offered and refused, and the prisoner committed for a trail at Court.

The wife and barkeeper of Miller were allowed private interviews with him.

A large crowd gathered in front of the magistrate’s office, manifesting suppressed but intense excitement. The officers, bearing in mind the rumored threats of lynching, conveyed the prisoner quietly out of the back door to a close carriage and drove rapidly to Reamstown station, where they took the train.  Miller was safely landed in prison in the afternoon.

Fry, Martin F. - 1881

Distilling.--
Nine years ago, in 1872, Mr. Christ Habecker established a distillery in Penn, in this county.  The building was modest and at this time not large, but as valuable goods are put up in small packages, so valuable packages are often put up in small manufactories.

Mr. Habecker, as his name impiers <sic>, is of Swiss ancestry and has an abiding faith in the German method of making spirits.  He has always adhered to the old time, hand mash process, and results have vindicated his judgement.  He, moreover, uses nothing but pure rye; corn and other grains do not have a place on the premises.

The capacity of the distillery is 10 bushels and 36 pounds per day in mash, or about 9000 gals. of whisky per year - equivalent to 200 barrels.  The time required for the distillation of spirits is about sixty hours from the time the grain is put in ferment, but the tubs are filled but once every seventy-two hours, as the law requires them to stand empty twenty-fours before refilling.  The process of distilling is interesting to a novice, but entails a good deal of hard work and vigilant supervision.  Here is where Mr. Habecker is the right man in the right place.

He does the greater part of the work himself and consequently knows that it is done well.  Some idea of his working capacity is given in the fact that since the 23rd of July, 1879, to the present date the distillery has not stopped a day except in August of last year when it was shut down for repairs.  The spirits made are of a high grade, and the demand for them is so great that Mr. Habecker must soon increase the capacity of the distillery or take the liquor out of bond sooner than he would like.  This latter he probably will not do, for obvious reasons.

Mr. Martin F. Fry, of Ephrata, is the Government Storekeeper and understands his duties.  He has now been at his post five years - a sufficient commentary on his faithfulness.  To one seeing them for the first time, the instruments used to test the spirits and gauge them are wonderful.  They are of the most delicate construction, and how they are made passes understanding.

But, after all, though every safeguard is thrown around the manufacture of liquor to prevent the Government, much depends upon the men in charge.  We are happy to say that thte gentlemen in the Pennville distillery are above suspicion.

Rex, Ida H. - 1881

Shaefferstown Shavings
Educational - Matrimonial - Philosophical And General
Our school district is coming to the front in its partiality for female teachers.  It is not long since our people were very decided in their opposition to female teachers, but things are being revolutionized.  The “school marms” that we have of late years employed, have as a rule given such marked satisfaction to pupils and parents, that the demand for the formerly much-abused “marms” has grown apace.

That we have a male teacher for our grammar school, is in part if not altogether, due to the fact that Miss Ida H. Rex, the young lady who taught the school with such eminent success last year, would not again accept the position.  If any one <sic> had predicted such a state of things several years ago, the majority of our venerable townsmen would have hooted at the idea.  But we are happy to note the change.  It is a move in the right direction.  Whatever may be said of the comparative mental capacities of women as pitted against those of men in a general sense, it is true that women excel in the art of teaching children.

Shaeffer’s business wagon which was passing at the time.  The wheel passed over the little fellow’s leg below the knee, but did not seriously hurt it.  No blame attaches to the driver, as he was going very slowly, and the boy, had his back to the team, and backed into it.

Hallacher, Milton - 1881

Marksmanship.--
The pigeon shooting match at the Kemper House last Saturday was not largely attended.  Marksmen did not come to time.  The highest score was made by Milt. Hallacher, of Rothsville.  To-morrow (Saturday) a party from Rothsville will have a private match at the Kemper House.
~ The Lititz Record, 21-Oct-1881, Page 3, Column 1


The Shot Gun.--
The pigeon shooting match at the Kemper House last Saturday was more largely attended than on the previous Saturday and was attended with more gratifying results.  The birds were not as lively as could have been wished, but the day was faultless.  Everything was passed off without a hitch; he best of good feeling prevailed throughout.  In the first match Dr. Reamsnyder bore off the honors, but was closely followed by B. Ritter, who killed all his birds - one falling out of bounds.  A. Bollinger drew out after his fourth shot.

In the second match Milton Hallacher stepped to the front, as he did the Saturday before.  As will be seen by the score, Mr. H. just saved himself by a clean score.  Owing to the lateness of the hour, ties were not shot off.

The following is the score:
C. Butzer…………………1 0 0 1 0        |    A. Adams…………………0 1 1 1 0

Ferretti, Gustavo - 1946

YOUNG ITALIAN VETERAN ASKS TO STAY IN THE U.S.

A 15-year-old Italian boy who fought with the United States 5th army from Cassino to Rome and was a litter bearer during the battle of the Arno river today awaited decision from immigration officials that he hoped would permit him to become an American.

The youth, Gustavo Ferretti, who was smuggled into the United States by returning troops last August, had fought as a gunner with B battery of the 18th field artillery.  He was wounded by shrapnel and awarded the Purple Heart by his battery commander, though without the official certificate.

When action lulled on the B battery front, this youth joined the 361st infantry just before the battle of the Arno River.  Her served through Arno, Florence, and Bologna.  In all young Ferretti served twenty-one months and received a European theatre ribbon with four battle stars.

Hauck, Charles W. - 1946

PROFESSOR SCORES U.S. FOOD WASTE
The fact that one-fourth of the food produced in the United States is allowed to go to waste is an indictment of the carelessness and extravagance of the American people, Prof. Charles W. Hauck of Ohio State University, said recently.

Pointing out that the food wasted annually in this country could feed the five New England states or the hunger-ridden countries of Belgium, Holland, Greece and Czecho-Slavakia, Prof. Hauck told a meeting of the Pennsylvania Vegetable Growers Association estimates indicated that more food has been wasted each year than was consumed annually by our armed forces and lend-lease shipments combined during the war.

He described research being conducted jointly by the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station and a large food store chain to try to check waste through mechanized trimming and packaging of fresh fruits and vegetables in transparent sealed units.

“We hope that our work, which is available to all distributors, will lead to a reduction in this shocking waste which in leafy, green and yellow vegetables runs as high as 43 percent”, he said.  “The loss occurs all along the line—on farms, in packing houses, processing, transportation and storage; in wholesale warehouses and retail stores, in consumers’ homes and public eating places.”

LOOKING BACK
Taken from the Bellwood Bulletin, October, 1914.

Just recently a jolly crowd of young people from this place went to the home of the Misses Werner, in Altoona, via the Jno. Everhart “hay-ladders”.  A fine evening was spent in playing games and music.  The home was nicely decorated, and above the arch of autumn leaves was the word “welcome”.  Later on all were called to the dining room to partake of some swell eats.

Among those present were Misses Goshorn, Ubil, Trout, Bentley, Holden, Dolin, Burns, Cornmesser, Houston, Garhoof, of Williamsport, Wolf and Werner, of Altoona, and Messrs. Fowler, Burns, Strunk, Bush, Skagenberg, Gilmore, Irwin, Ubil, Isenberg, Houston, Briggs, Rice, Woodring, of Tyrone, Brennen and Wernoer of Altoona.  The chaperons were Misses Strunk, Houston, and Powers.

In a recent letter to Miss Mary E. Cornmesser, Church Clerk, and members of the Logan Valley Baptist Church, Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Dooley expressed regrets that they were unable to attend installation services and reception for the new pastor, George W. Meadows and family.

His letter follows:
Dear Brethren:
Mrs. Dooley and I are grateful for the cordial invitation of the Pulpit Committee to be present on Friday evening, January 18, for the installation service and reception for pastor George W. Meadows and family.  We feel confident that the occasion will be a very happy one for the pastor and members and friends who will be privileged to attend.  We regret that the pleasure will not be ours, but we are wholly in sympathy with the occasion and we earnestly pray that the heavenly Father will mightily bless pastor and people as they labor together in love to advance the Kingdom of God.

Inasmuch as our residence in Bellwood for more than 20 years was made so delightful because of our Christian fellowship with a loyal church people, we predict for our new pastor and family a similar delightful experience.

Out love for the members of the Logan Valley Baptist Church will never lose its sincerity.  Upon the installation service and reception we pray the presence and blessing of our heavenly Father.

REV. G. H. DOOLEY SENDS REGRETS
In a recent letter to Miss Mary E. Cornmesser, Church Clerk, and members of the Logan Valley Baptist Church, Rev. and Mrs. H. G. Dooley expressed regrets that they were unable to attend installation services and reception for the new pastor, George W. Meadows and family.

His letter follows:
Dear Brethren:
Mrs. Dooley and I are grateful for the cordial invitation of the Pulpit Committee to be present on Friday evening, January 18, for the installation service and reception for pastor George W. Meadows and family.  We feel confident that the occasion will be a very happy one for the pastor and members and friends who will be privileged to attend.  We regret that the pleasure will not be ours, but we are wholly in sympathy with the occasion and we earnestly pray that the heavenly Father will mightily bless pastor and people as they labor together in love to advance the Kingdom of God.

Inasmuch as our residence in Bellwood for more than 20 years was made so delightful because of our Christian fellowship with a loyal church people, we predict for our new pastor and family a similar delightful experience.

Out love for the members of the Logan Valley Baptist Church will never lose its sincerity.  Upon the installation service and reception we pray the presence and blessing of our heavenly Father.

In His name and for Christ’s sake.
H. G. Dooley and Mrs. Dooley

Powley, George (Mrs.) [Hirsch] - 1946

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR RICHARD H. HIRSCH

Richard H. Hirsch, one of Bellwood’s most outstanding citizens, died of a heart condition on Monday, January 21, at his home on South First Street.  he had been in failing health for the past several months and only recently returned from a check-up in an Altoona hospital.

The deceased was a son of Edward and Margaret (Henry) Hirsch, was born at Siglerville, Mifflin county, on February 28, 1884.  When a mere youth he came to Bellwood and was engaged by the late G. A. Jamison as clerk in a grocery store on Main street.  Later the grocery store was sold and the owner established a furniture store which later merged into the Bellwood Furniture company, where Richard found employment.  He was with the company for many years and upon the death of G. A. Jamison, was made manager of the firm, and through his energy and ability as a salesman the company soon attained a prominent place in the business affairs of the boruogh <sic>.

Mr. Hirsch was a thorough and capable business man and paid close attention to the affairs of the company which he represented.  He was foremost in the civic affairs of the community and gave liberally of his time and attention for the good of the town.

He will be missed in the town, and especially in the store of the Bellwood Furniture company.  He was of a cheerful disposition and his sunlit countenance made sunshine in shady places.  His friends were many, not alone in the community, but elsewhere, and they will sorrow with the bereaved ones.

His going is an irreparable loss to the town.

He was united in marriage with Ethel Strunk, who survives with two daughters, Mrs. D. M. Sunderland, of 2611 Quail avenue, Altoona, and Norma Jean Hirsch, at home; one son, Thomas A. Hirsch, of 412 S. Second street, Bellwood, who recently returned from army service; one grandson, Richard Hirsch, and on foster son, Jack Kustaborder, at home.  Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. R. R. Woomer, of 1805 Adams ave., Tyrone, and Mrs. George Powley, of Vail.

Mr. Hirsch was educated in the public schools of Milroy, and since becoming a citizen of the borough, was a member of the First Methodist church and the Lions Club.  He served on the borough council from 1925 to 1934 and was president of that organization from 1928 to 1932, and gave the borough a progressive administration.

Largely attended funeral services were held in the First Methodist church Thursday afternoon, in charge of the pastor, Rev. H. T. Covert, who paid a touching tribute to the memory of the departed.  The floral offerings were many and beautiful.

Interment was made in the Logan Valley cemetery.

Green be the turf above thee,
    Friend of our better days,
None knew thee but to love thee,
    None named thee but to praise.

Green be the turf above thee,

None knew thee but to love thee,
    None named thee but to praise.

Jamison, George Arthur - 1946

FUNERAL SERVICES HELD FOR RICHARD H. HIRSCH

Richard H. Hirsch, one of Bellwood’s most outstanding citizens, died of a heart condition on Monday, January 21, at his home on South First Street.  he had been in failing health for the past several months and only recently returned from a check-up in an Altoona hospital.

The deceased was a son of Edward and Margaret (Henry) Hirsch, was born at Siglerville, Mifflin county, on February 28, 1884.  When a mere youth he came to Bellwood and was engaged by the late G. A. Jamison as clerk in a grocery store on Main street.  Later the grocery store was sold and the owner established a furniture store which later merged into the Bellwood Furniture company, where Richard found employment.  He was with the company for many years and upon the death of G. A. Jamison, was made manager of the firm, and through his energy and ability as a salesman the company soon attained a prominent place in the business affairs of the boruogh <sic>.

Mr. Hirsch was a thorough and capable business man and paid close attention to the affairs of the company which he represented.  He was foremost in the civic affairs of the community and gave liberally of his time and attention for the good of the town.

He will be missed in the town, and especially in the store of the Bellwood Furniture company.  He was of a cheerful disposition and his sunlit countenance made sunshine in shady places.  His friends were many, not alone in the community, but elsewhere, and they will sorrow with the bereaved ones.

His going is an irreparable loss to the town.

He was united in marriage with Ethel Strunk, who survives with two daughters, Mrs. D. M. Sunderland, of 2611 Quail avenue, Altoona, and Norma Jean Hirsch, at home; one son, Thomas A. Hirsch, of 412 S. Second street, Bellwood, who recently returned from army service; one grandson, Richard Hirsch, and on foster son, Jack Kustaborder, at home.  Also surviving are two sisters, Mrs. R. R. Woomer, of 1805 Adams ave., Tyrone, and Mrs. George Powley, of Vail.

Mr. Hirsch was educated in the public schools of Milroy, and since becoming a citizen of the borough, was a member of the First Methodist church and the Lions Club.  He served on the borough council from 1925 to 1934 and was president of that organization from 1928 to 1932, and gave the borough a progressive administration.
