AZETTE. BEDFORD, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1903. ESTABLISHED IN 1805. VOL. 97- THE Those Who Have Crossed to the Other Side, THE DEATH RECORD.

David Dii-ely, Emily Crace Dlehl, Mra. Rebecca Smith, Jaeob Spccnt, Will- lit Misner, George Saner. David Dively, formerly of Weyait, who was drowned in tbe Sandnsky river, in Oaio, on February 28 last, wss found about 7 o'clock last Saturday mornirg by two boys who had gone out in a boat to fish and hunt dvcks. Th-y noticed one foot sticking np out of the water and raised the alarm and the body was removed from the water, where it had lain for just six weeks to the very day. The body was found about a mile below where the drowning occurred and had passed down over two dams.

Young Dively had gone to Fremont for a load of coal and on his return, while passing a dangerous part of the road along the river, which was swollen and overflowing its banks, the front wheel of the wagon gave way next to the water and the horse, wigon and man went over the bank. Diligent search for the body was mide, but in vain When the corpse was recovered it was sealed in a metallic casket and Daniel Girn started at once with the body, arriving in Altoona Sunday morning. Interment took place in the Rsformed cemetery at Ojterburg Monday afternoon. Services were conducted by Rev. A.

F. Nace. The body was swollen to at least twice its natural siza, the entire weight of the casket and corpse being over 700 pounds The deceased waa a son of Gabriel Dively, who is postmaster at Weyant, and is well known to many of the readers of THE GAZETTE. His age was 23 years, 11 months and 29 days. Grace DlehL E-nily Grace died at the home of her father, Amos Diehl, in Wolfsburg on April 13.

Little did we think when, but eight days ago, she bade us such a happy "good morning" that the Heavenly Father would call her so soon to say "good morning" to her loved ones on the other shore, but He has deemed it wise and we must bow in humble submission to His will. Saturday morning, April 4, she spent in the school room, where an examination was being held, and at noon first complained of being ill. Pneumonia and brain fever set in, and from that time scarcely recognized any one and on Easter morn God bade her sufferings cease. Grace, as we all knew her, wis blessed with a sunny disposition lEd was always imparting to others tome of the joy witb which her soul seemed to be filled and for that reason was a general favorite with her schoolmates, young associates and teachers Although young, being but thirteen, has for several years taken an active part in all entertainments of the church and school, always rendering her parts well and never saying "no" when asked to take a part. She was bright beyond her years, doing work in school which would have done credit to a touch older pupil.

Oa Friday Russell Parcell was hiul- ing clay in a dearborn wagon when the mare he was driving suddenly concluded to make an afternoon call on ex Councilman J. V.

Kallingar. The sociable quadruped began to climb the steps of the portico when a member of the family unceremoniously closed the door in her face. The animal was pulled off the pavemant and Harry Lehman took charge of her. When he picked up the lines the nag started oft at a merry clip and as shedashed Richard street the dearborn collided with another wagon and young Leaman was hurled to toe grouad, landing on his head and shoulder. He taken home on a stretcher and was unconscious for four hours.

The ma-e galloped up Pitt street aid was caught by James F. Boor near his lauidry. Mr. Lohnun had a narrow escape. After he regained consciousness h5 waa able to go about, seemingly none the worse for his thrilling expariancj except a strained shoulder aid bruised face.

The mare that did the sprinting belongs to George M. Purcell and is old enough to know better; but she was hitched too short and is scarcely to be blamed for trying to get away from the wagon, which was hitting her on the legs.

TMrd Intermediate: Charles Lutz, Special Correspondence of THB HABRKBCBa, April is the last week of the legislature and by the time your paper is ready for distribu tion the legislature shall be numbered with the past. From now until Thursday noon both branches will be busy day and night. Most of the appropriation bills have been passed and so far as legislation for the general welfare is concerned might as well adjourn at once.

All reform measures have been eliminated and the road bill, which will be passed, will be of little practical use to the very districts in most need of good roads. The usual crowds of spectators are expected to see the closing sessions of senate and house. The last day or two the usual time for rushing through bills of a doubtful character and those of special interest to the inner circle. Senators Quay and Penrose are here today and their advent at the closing hours gives occasion for all kinds of rumors as to the final acts of the legislation of ,1903. SOME OF THE BILLS INTRODUCED.

More Information About Into Old Time Inn--Itl SOMERSET, April 13, 1903. EDITOB correspondent, "A E.

in hia article on the White Horse tavern, which in your last issue, says that he had not been able to learn who conducted.this tavern in its primitive dijs We think we can throw at least a little light on the subject, About 1870 the late David Husband had a friend write out the reminiscences of Henry J. Young, then an aged resident of Berlin. Among other things, Mr. Young said "I came into Somerset county in December, 1800, bjing then about ten years of age. We came by way of Bedford.

Our irst night in Somerset county waa spent at the eastern foot of the Allegheny mountain at the tavern kept by Mr. Boose, father of Radolph Boose, of Summit township. Mr Boose then owned the property which was afterward owned by Henry Imhoff and which was known as the 'loa- hoff and still later owned by Jacob Hillegass. At the p'aee known to the present generation as the 'White Horse Tavern" there was a log cabin in which a man named George Keller, kept a tavern. From Keller's to Altfather's mill was a complete wilderness." This makes 1800 as a positive date at which a tavern was kept at the White Horse stand, and also by whom--but how much earlier we cannot tell.

George Keller was a veiy early settler. He had two warrants for surveys of land. The one is dated 1773, the other 1794 Which of these was for the "White Horse" we do not know. Some six or seven years ago one of our locil papra printed aa article on the early taverns along the "Old Glade Road" derived from a conversation had with Levi Ringler, an old time wag- oner along this road, whose recollection went back as far as 1830, or perhaps earlier. In speaking of the "White Horse" Mr.

Ringler said that "Joe" Fleming was a proprietor in early days and that he was succeeded by Samuel Jordan. No dates are given with either name, but both must necessarily antedate Mr. Glessner, who is referred to by E. in his article. w.

The resurrection of our Savior, the first-begotten from among the dead, holds out to man that hope which alone makes life worth living, for if Christ be not risen then no flesh need expect to rise, no man can hope for immortality, said St. Paul. And Cicero said, even though there were no truth, in our bslief of immortality, yet the longing and hope of meeting with the great minds that have gone before us, whose memory we cherish, is one of the greatest consolations of old age. Now as Christ is risen from the dead, may we all nurture the sure hope of immortality and use all the means with which nature blesses us--music, art, poetry and the beauties of nature herself--to keep alive our faith and hope in the resurrection and to elevate our minds from things mundane to things celestial. CATHOLIC.

Sunday, this great land-mark of Christianity, was solemnly celebrated in St. Thomas' church. The services were at 8, 10:30 a. m. and 7 m.

in the midst of a profusion of cut flowers. The aHars were exquisitely decorated and exhaled a sweet odor, like the prayer of nature ascending to the throne of the risen God. The music, Mozart's 12th Mass, was rendered in the manner and in the spirit of the great composer. The regular choir was greatly strengthened by the presence of our townsman and noted basso, A. Cook, chief of THE GAZETTE'S compositors, so that the famous 12th waa rendered as it never had been before in Bedford.

Bav. Simon Stndebaker. The Beattie, Eagle of April 10 contained the following sketch of the life of Rev. Simon Studebaker, formerly of Morrison's Cove: It ia with sadness indeed that we record the death of Rev. Simon Studebaker, ofRichland.

Only a few days aio he came into Beattie to do some trading and appeared to be in his usual state of health He was always cheerful and had pleasant word for every one with whom he came in contact. He never tarried long to said what was required and went on his way. On Saturday last he was quite unwell and on Sunday he suffered greatly with an occlusion ot the bowels Sunday night two physicians attended him all night through, but were unable to afford him much relief, and he was so much worse Monday that it was decided to remove him to a hospital in St. Joseph and the trip was made by Monday afternoon's train. When he arrived there it was found that the fearful compaction had dime its deadly work, that mortification had already set in and that death was imminent.

He lingered until about noon Tuesday, when his spirit departed, leaving his lifeless clay to the care of hii PERSONAL NOTES.

The body was returned to his old home near the church in Richland on Wednesday and the funeral services will be held some time today (Friday.) Simon Studebaker was born in Morri son's Cove, in Bedford county, Pa.

He came of a family of honest, peace-loving, quiet people and was trained from his youth up in the Dunkard, or German Baptist church, and with all his' other duties and labors in life, found time to preach the gospel of his belief to his fellow-men. It is more than fifteen years since he came with his family to Richland, where he had built a comfortable home and reared his family of three children, now all married. He had also built for himself an excellent name for honesty, uprightness and fair dealing and for a Christian life and character, full of charity and good works Simon Stu- debater will be greatly missed in his home circle, in the community where he lived and in wide acquaintance, especially in the church to which he gave such BEFOBMED. At St. John's Reformsd church in the morning the Holy Communion was celebrated.

The pastor preached aninspir- ing sermon on the Resurrection. The music consisted of the glorias, chants and the Te Deum, which are usually sung in the Communion service, and Easter anthems. All the music was of a high order and rendered in an excellent manner. In the evening the Sunday school rendered a delightful service entitled "Easter Watchwords." At this service the choir sang the opening anthem and Prof. B.

an offertory, sang "Hosanna in Excelsis." The school received the usual Easter treat and the superintendent presented the members of the primary department with beautiful Easter cards. The offerings for the day were very liberal and were for benevolence. Twenty-one persons were received into the membership of the church. LUTHEBAN. At Trinity Lutheran church the Communion service in the morning was impressive and edifying.

This was a very large Communion. There were added to the church 12 by confirmation; 5 by adult baptism and one by transfer. The floral decorations were elaborate ind beautiful, the music excellent, full ol gladness and joy, suiting well the precious hopes of Eastertide. METHODIST.

Sunday, April 26, promises to be a day of special interest for the Reformed congregation of Hopewell. About a year ago their church building was dedicated. The portion of the sum necessary to defray all expenses not provided for at the tima was aasnmad by the consistory. During the year the amount has been reduced by over 8350.

The friends and the community have suggested that a day of special service be appointed for the liquidation of the debt of something over 8400 which still remains. Rev, Miles 0. Noll, of Carlisle, will be present at the services and will preach in the morning at 10.30 and in the evening at 7.30.

A silver offering will be received.

He will lectu-e on "The Hygiene of Cheerfulness" in Saxton Hall, Saxton, Friday evening, April 2t. We hope that all will avail themselves oj the opportunity of hearing Dr. Noll, who has the reputation of being one of the most popular entertainers as well as one at the most eloquent preachers of the Reformed church.
