Tobias, Daniel C. (Rev.) - 1881

Eleventh Annual Sermon.--
Rev. D. C. Tobias, pastor of the Bethany charge of the Reformed Church, preached on September 18, his eleventh annual sermon to his White Oak and Brickerville congregations, and on September 25, the same sermon was preached at Bethany.  He has been in this charge for quite a time and has endeared himself to the hearts of his people; so much so, that any thought of a change at present is foreign to the hearts of both pastor and people.  His labors have been successful, and the congregations are in a peaceful and prosperous condition.
~ The Lititz Record, 30-Sept-1881, Page 3, Column 3


Personal.--
Rev. D. W. Gerhard, for fourteen years pastor of the New Holland charge, was in town last week, visiting his brother-in-law, Rev. D. C. Tobias.  He came in the evening of one day and left the morning of the next, with no opportunity whatever of seeing the many improvements that have been going on since his last visit.  Don’t forget to come soon again.

Hershey, Christian R. - 1881

Surprise Party.--
Mr. Christian Hershey, of this place, arrived at the half-century post of life’s journey last Monday.  Returning home in the evening he was set upon by a party of ladies and gentlemen, who assailed him with congratulations, pelted him with good wishes and stormed his castle.  Mr. Hershey rallied after the first surprise and contributed his share to the enjoyment of an evening that will not soon fade from memory.  The invading friends took with them a liberal supply of food and all attacked it valiantly.  This friendly recognition will be a grateful remembrance to Mr. Hershey, and the day will be marked with a white stone.

Bowers, Erren - 1881

Runaway.--
On Sunday afternoon while Messrs. T. K. Kauffman, Erren Bowers and another gentleman were returning from a colored camp-meeting near Columbia, each in separate buggies, they approached the railroad track.  One of the parties succeeded in crossing, but Messrs. Kauffman and Bowers were stopped by a passing train.  Bower’s horse became frightened, rushed upon Kauffman’s buggy overturning it, tearing off two wheels and breaking the harness badly.  Then wheeling, the horse ran away, jumped a five-rail fence and completely demolished the carriage to which he was attached.  Very fortunately no bones were broken, though Mr. Kauffman’s horse was severely cut on the fore leg and bled profusely.

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.

Wolf, Samuel - 1881

Akron News.--
Mr. Elias Wolf, of Akron, purchased a piece of land from his father, Samuel Wolf, opposite Akron station, extending from the public road at the station to the one crossing the railroad some distance west.  He has it laid out in building lots, and some of them are sold.  On two of them he is at present engaged in erecting dwellings to be rented as soon as finished, and no doubt to be disposed of to the first customer with whom a bargain can be struck.

By the time that all the lots are disposed of and the dwellings erected thereon, it will prove quite an accession to the place and make it more prominent.  A large and substantial building ought to be put up across from the depot for business of a general character.

Graybill, Seth - 1881

Destructive Fire.--
About eight o’clock Tuesday evening a bright light was discovered in the direction of Pennville.  There was evidently a fire of some magnitude, but where was a matter of conjecture.  It proved to be the barn of Mr. Seth Graybill, situated about one-half mile south-east of Pennville, in Penn Township.  The fire was the work of the elements.

Lightning struck the barn, scattering boards at the eastern end though it was evident that the bolt originally entered the building at the western end as the flames first burst out in that quarter.  The building was totally destroyed together with its store of grain, hay and straw.  All the farming implements were saved except a threshing machine and power.  The live stock was removed in safety.  Loss about $2500; insured in the Penn Township Mutual Insurance company for $1800.

Mr. Graybill has had more than his share of misfortune.  On the 23d of February he lost by an incendiary fire a large, comparatively new barn, with contents, including several head of horses and cattle, in all about $8000 worth of property.  The structure now destroyed was finished and painted but a short time ago, and the loss coming at this time will fall heavily upon the unfortunate loser.

Specht, Joseph (Rev.) - 1881

Manheim Times.--
Never in the history of Manheim, has there been a time of such universal sorrow and lamentation as the week intervening between the death and burial of our President James A. Garfield.  Our business places were draped in mourning, flags floated at half-mast and everything partook of the solemnity of the occasion.  On Monday last business was generally suspended.

In the afternoon the bells were tolled and the people repaired to the Reformed Church, where a memorial service was held.  The meeting was addressed by Rev. P. A. Bowman, of the U. B. Church, followed by Rev. Jos. Specht, of the Evangelical, in the German language.  Both gentlemen dwelt principally upon the good character of the President, the great loss the country has sustained in the death of the Warrior, Statesman and Christian.

They were followed by Rev. L. F. Zinkham, of the Reformed Church, who after dwelling upon the case of the President, drew a number of lessons from his life: I, “God was in all his thoughts”.  II, “His faith in prayer”.  III, “His indomitable energy and integrity of purpose”.  IV, “His consistent Christian career”. All spoke very ably and were listened to with marked attention by the large audience.

Zinkhan, L. F. (Rev.) - 1881

Manheim Times.--
Died, on Saturday, September 24th, Lizzie Lavina Yetter, aged 20 years, 11 months and 28 days.  The life of the deceased was of but few years’ nurture and growth in the house of the Lord, but it was full of promise, and passed away after a protracted illness in hope of the rest that remains for the people of God.

The early death of this estimable young lady produced an exhibition of heartfelt grief in our community, outside her kindred, among those who knew her worth, and were her intimate friends, that was unexampled.  Her good heart, her genial disposition, and genuine friendship had won for her the regard and confidence of her entire circle of acquaintances, which manifested itself by the large number who honored her remains and paid them the last tribute of love and respect when she was laid to rest.

Her former companions bethought themselves to present the bereaved family with a testimonial of their regard, and most appropriately did they present a beautiful harp made of choicest flowers in memory of their sweet singer in Israel, whose voice, now hushed below, has taken up the refrain “the Song of Moses and the Lamb” in the celestial world above.

Another beautiful floral tribute was presented by E. L. Deyer.  It was a cushion of choice white flowers surmounted by a dove with outstretched wings, the emblem of innocence.

The remains were buried on Tuesday last in “Fairview” cemetery, after which a solemn funeral service was held in the Reformed Church, of which she was a member, her pastor, Rev. L. F. Zinkhan, preaching an impressive sermon from the text of Sol. Song vi :4, “My beloved is gone down into his garden to gather lilies”.

Barnsley, Edward R. - 1943

PENN STATE ALUMNIS GIVES RARE COLLECTION

A former student of the Pennsylvania State College who is now in the armed forces has sent to his Alma Marter a collection of unusual and precious minerals.

Trained at Penn State as a geologist, Corporal Edward R. Barnsley, not at Hot Springs, Ark., has found time to search for these minerals which will be added to the museum in the School of Mineral Industries.

Specimens sent in by Barnsley include cinnabar, wavellite, [sic] crystal quartz, and lodestone.  The quartz is a rare specimen that at one was broken but has healed itself.

Cinnabar is a ore of mercury, and wavellite [sic] is a source of aluminum phosphate.  The lodestone is also of rare quality that will magnetize other things placed in contact with it.
