Fleming, D. C. - 1881

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:

Albert Huntzinger.

On Tuesday of last week J. Albert Huntzinger, a son of Jacob Huntzinger, aged 33 years, died in Philadelphia after a protracted illness.  At the time that the Miner’s Trust Company, in Pottsville, closed its doors, Albert held the position of cashier, and somewhat later he was charged of being implicated with his father in defrauding Thomas F. Kerns, one of the depositors of the bank.  The case was brought up in the Berks County Court, where both were found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment.  At the expiration of his term, Albert returned to his family in Philadelphia, very much prostrated in mind and body.  He led a wretched existence until death had compassion on him and relieved him of his burden “here below”.

Bricker, John - 1881

Almost A Fatality.--
Last Sunday night Mr. Frank Evans awoke with a feeling of suffocation.  He attempted to open a window but was too nearly overpowered by the peculiar feeling to do so.  He succeeded in awakening his wife, but she also was helpless.  Making a second desperate effort Mr. Evans succeeded in raising the window and alarming a neighbor, John Bricker, by ringing a bell.  Bricker rushed over, opened the house and called a physician.  The fresh air revived the sufferers somewhat, though Mr. Evans, his wife and children did not fully recover for two or three days.

It transpired that the asphyxiation resulted from poisonous gas escaping from the coal stove.  The family made a providential escape, for had Mr. Evans slept longer, the deadly gases would have extinguished the flickering flame of life.

Like many another serious occurrence, this has a ludicrous side.  Mr. Bricker, upon being aroused so suddenly was somewhat bewildered.  The call for help was urgent.  He realized the importance of haste, but could not sally forth clad only in modesty.  He wasn’t very particular just then, but he bethought himself of the lilies of the valley - for Soloman <sic> in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these, and reached for raiment.  Lo!  it was not.  A scurrying around chairs, behind bureaus and under the rug; a hurried search, a fruitless hunt - and the appalling truth burst upon him - he had been robbed!  “Burglars”, gasped John, “have robbed me of my clothes”.  By that time he was thoroughly awake, and Mrs. B. kindly pointed out the missing garments - that had been thoughtfully hung up in an unwonted place.  John hasn’t purchases a shotgun to receive midnight marauders.

Kratzer, Mrs. - 1881

Shaefferstown Shavings.--

Saturday last widow Kratzer, who had resided some distance to the south of this town, was buried.  The deceased had reached the ripe old age of 87 years and 9 months when she died.  Apparently no insurance had been effected on her life, and it may be taken for granted that she died a natural death.  There is comfort in the thought that even in these days when the land is scoured by men of questionable character in quest of the sick and dying, that there are those yet to be found who would not profit by the death of their relatives.

This county, who has for many years past served as elder in the Reformed congregation of that place, and been one of the most active workers in the Sunday School cause.

Shaefferstown Shavings.--

Several weeks ago Rev. A. J. Bachman started out with his newly wedded bride on a wedding trip through the West.  While in the State of Indiana, Mr. Bachman was suddenly taken sick and has not been able to return home.  From all accounts, however, he is convalescing, and is expected home in the course of the present week.  His regular appointment in St. Paul’s Reformed Church of this place on Sunday morning was filled by Rev. D. B. Albright, of Bethany Orphans’ Home, who preached a very interesting sermon.

Ties That Bind But Do Not Fetter - A Brilliant Social Event.

The residence of Mr. Samuel G. Bomberger, of Rothsville, was on Wednesday morning thronged with invited guests to witness the nuptials of his only daughter, Anna E. Bomberger, and Mr. Graybill B. Long, of Neffsville.  About one hundred and twenty-five immediate friends and relatives were present.

At 11 o’clock the high contracting parties, attended by Messrs. B. F. Bear, of Mechanicsburg, and Samuel Frantz, of Lancaster, groomsmen, and Misses Alice Keller, of Ephrata, and Emma Weaver, of Fertility, as bridesmaids, advanced to where the officiating clergyman, Rev. J. Peter, of Manheim, was awaiting them, and the impressive ceremony was observed that united the twain in bonds indissulable. <sic>

The bride was elegantly attired in rich silk, and the bridesmaids were appropriately and tastefully costumed.

After the ceremony a splendid banquet was served under the direction of Royer, the Lancaster caterer.

The presents were many and valuable, and made a rich display; but their chief import to the wedded pair, no doubt, is the sentiment of friendship and love of which they are the symbols.

Immediately after the wedding breakfast Mr. Long and bride, accompanied  by numerous friends, drove to Lancaster to take the afternoon train.  As they left the house, a shower of blessings and the traditional slipper followed.

Mr. and Mrs. Long will be absent about three weeks, visiting New York, the Hudson, Niagara Falls, Baltimore and Washington on the trip.

We join with the many in expressions of sincere congratulation, and trust that the morning which is just breaking into roseate light harbingers a long day of happiness unclouded.

The residence of Mr. Samuel G. Bomberger, of Rothsville, was on Wednesday morning thronged with invited guests to witness the nuptials of his only daughter, Anna E. Bomberger, and Mr. Graybill B. Long, of Neffsville.  About one hundred and twenty-five immediate friends and relatives were present.

At 11 o’clock the high contracting parties, attended by Messrs. B. F. Bear, of Mechanicsburg, and Samuel Frantz, of Lancaster, groomsmen, and Misses Alice Keller, of Ephrata, and Emma Weaver, of Fertility, as bridesmaids, advanced to where the officiating clergyman, Rev. J. Peter, of Manheim, was awaiting them, and the impressive ceremony was observed that united the twain in bonds indissulable. <sic>

The bride was elegantly attired in rich silk, and the bridesmaids were appropriately and tastefully costumed.

After the ceremony a splendid banquet was served under the direction of Royer, the Lancaster caterer.

The presents were many and valuable, and made a rich display; but their chief import to the wedded pair, no doubt, is the sentiment of friendship and love of which they are the symbols.

Immediately after the wedding breakfast Mr. Long and bride, accompanied  by numerous friends, drove to Lancaster to take the afternoon train.  As they left the house, a shower of blessings and the traditional slipper followed.

Mr. and Mrs. Long will be absent about three weeks, visiting New York, the Hudson, Niagara Falls, Baltimore and Washington on the trip.

We join with the many in expressions of sincere congratulation, and trust that the morning which is just breaking into roseate light harbingers a long day of happiness unclouded.

Weist, Dr. - 1881

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.

Hoover, Anna Mary [Huber] - 1881

Ninety And Five.
Some Particulars Of An Aged Pilgrim’s Life - Nearly A Century.

Wednesday, October 26th was the ninety-fifth birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, relict of the late Jacob Miller, residing on Front street, Warwick.  Mrs. Miller’s maiden name was Huber.  She was born and raised a short distance west of Lititz, where her parents then resided.

After her marriage to Jacob Miller, they moved to where her son Elias now resides, which place is in close proximity to where she was born and raised.  There they continued to reside for a number of years, when Mr. Miller felt inclined to a change and exchanged the farm and farmer’s life and employment for a quieter retreat.  Consequently, he purchased of Mr. Jacob Small, who is well-known to the older inhabitants of our village, but who some years ago moved from here to Reading, where he has since lived, the brick dwelling in which mother Miller has lived ever since.  It is upwards of forty years ago that this happened.

Jacob Miller has since departed this life, leaving mother Miller a widow whose life is fast approaching the centennial allotment of human existence.  Few - very few, are spared so long, spared to see and experience so much, and spared to realize the emotions, of nearly a century of life.  She is the mother of five or six children.  Five are still living and are ever exemplifying their devotion and affection to an aged mother.

Her daughter Eliza is living with her and is caring for her comforts.  Her son Elias is almost a daily visitant, and provides the things that her daughter could not so well attend to.  One of her sons is living at Hinkletown, another one near Ephrata and one in the State of Delaware.  She has one sister, Mrs. Anna Mary Hoover, living at Dayton, Ohio, whose age is eighty years.

Mother Miller’s parents were of the Moravian faith, and she early in life connected with that church, and has ripened for eternity in its bosom.  She is an aged pilgrim, but feels even to this day that it is wrong to idle away time.  She is given to reading, but having become tired, employs the time in performing such other work as her age and strength permit.

Since it has pleased the All-wise Maker to spare her thus long, we would gladly wish that the same kind God would grant the few remaining years to fill up the measure of one hundred years, that we might five years hence greet Mother Miller as a centenarian.

Ninety And Five.
Some Particulars Of An Aged Pilgrim’s Life - Nearly A Century.
Wednesday, October 26th was the ninety-fifth birthday of Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, relict of the late Jacob Miller, residing on Front street, Warwick.  Mrs. Miller’s maiden name was Huber.  She was born and raised a short distance west of Lititz, where her parents then resided.

After her marriage to Jacob Miller, they moved to where her son Elias now resides, which place is in close proximity to where she was born and raised.  There they continued to reside for a number of years, when Mr. Miller felt inclined to a change and exchanged the farm and farmer’s life and employment for a quieter retreat.  Consequently, he purchased of Mr. Jacob Small, who is well-known to the older inhabitants of our village, but who some years ago moved from here to Reading, where he has since lived, the brick dwelling in which mother Miller has lived ever since.  It is upwards of forty years ago that this happened.

Jacob Miller has since departed this life, leaving mother Miller a widow whose life is fast approaching the centennial allotment of human existence.  Few - very few, are spared so long, spared to see and experience so much, and spared to realize the emotions, of nearly a century of life.  She is the mother of five or six children.  Five are still living and are ever exemplifying their devotion and affection to an aged mother.

Her daughter Eliza is living with her and is caring for her comforts.  Her son Elias is almost a daily visitant, and provides the things that her daughter could not so well attend to.  One of her sons is living at Hinkletown, another one near Ephrata and one in the State of Delaware.  She has one sister, Mrs. Anna Mary Hoover, living at Dayton, Ohio, whose age is eighty years.

Mother Miller’s parents were of the Moravian faith, and she early in life connected with that church, and has ripened for eternity in its bosom.  She is an aged pilgrim, but feels even to this day that it is wrong to idle away time.  She is given to reading, but having become tired, employs the time in performing such other work as her age and strength permit.

Since it has pleased the All-wise Maker to spare her thus long, we would gladly wish that the same kind God would grant the few remaining years to fill up the measure of one hundred years, that we might five years hence greet Mother Miller as a centenarian.

Barr, Margaret J. - 1886

Smith Barr, farmer, P. O. Two Taverns, was born on the farm where he and his family now reside, in Mountjoy Township, Adams County, Penn., and is descended from one of the old pioneer families of this county.

James Barr, Sr., the great-grandfather, a native of Ireland (but of Scotch descent) came to America before the Revolutionary war, and settled on the farm where our subject resides, marrying a Miss Watson.  James, his son, who was but a boy when they settled here, in the course of time was united in marriage with Miss Leckey, and they became the parents of three sons and four daughters:  George, Mary, James, Sarah, Nancy, Margaret and Alexander.  Of these, James was also born on the old homestead; he married Miss Margaret, daughter of Joseph Hunter, who bore him seven children:  James W., Jane A., Isabella, Smith (our subject), Sarah M., Albert L., and Agnes S.  James Barr, the father of these children died in 1852, aged sixty-seven; and his widow departed this life in 1870, aged seventy-nine years.

Smith Barr was educated near home and is now one of the successful farmers of Adams County, owning the old homestead, with good substantial buildings thereon.  He was united in marriage, June 2, 1859, with Miss Harriet Horner, daughter of Eli Horner, of Cumberland Township, this county.  To this union have been born two children:  Mervin G. and Margaret J.  The family are members of the Presbyterian Church, at Piney Creek, of which Mr. Barr has been elder nearly twenty years.

Our subject enlisted his services in defense of his country during the late civil war, serving in Company G, One Hundred and First Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry.  Politically he has ever been identified with the Republican party and has served his township as justice of the peace for the last eight years with credit to himself and to the satisfaction of his constituents.  He and his family are loved and respected by all who know them.
