Big Tree of Riverside Avis Area News BEFORE THE AXE FELL, the tall tree in city park between the Jay St. bridge and the Locks Restaurant, towered high into the sky, but park employes saw that it was rot- ting inside and becoming unsafe, so It was condemned to be removed.

LOSING ITS BRANCHES before receiving the final coup de grace from the power saws of the tree experts, the city's tree was trimmed back, and Its foliage dropped to the river bank, in a tree removal project which occupied several evenings.

The Express, Lock Haven, August 8, Page 5 Aikey Reunion at Hecla Park Ouf Way CALDWELL Tuesday morning at 8:30 we had no rain or fog but I hope everybody got as good a soaking rain as we did later in the day. the rains have been going in streaks, but this time our neighbors came across the field (Dale Copenhaver's) and out our wheat, what little the deer had left. We got it in just ahead of the storm. They did the same thing with the barley. None of it got wet but they just made it in the barn with the last load and then it really did rain.

Mrs. Copenhaver's two brothers have been visiting over there and Dick Toner. Both days they came along to help harvest. I tried to pay them for helping and they claimed I paid them when they were boys. They said when they were helping lumber close here they would take the longer way around and I would either have cookies or home-made bread and butter for them.

One of them ves, I believe in Massachusetts, an older brother) and I believe icse two still live in Farrands- ille. I had a real nice surprise a ew days ago when Mrs. Fillman of down near the Harvest came to visit. She used live oue here. She was Anna before her marriage.

She had Mrs. Keiser with her nd a man that she wanted to ee if I would know any more. Well, when he took off those ig black sun glasses, I did know iim. It was Elmer Weaver, whom I hadn't seen but once 60 years. He is Mrs.

Fill- nan's uncle. They lived as eighbors here. I think he was urprised to find I knew him. I must tell you what happened when we were "a couple of ids." I was working at Harry Wiers, a neighbor of these Weavers, and on a Sunday, Elmer's older brother Fred, a umberman, came home on a fisii. He had a beautiful team big black horses.

Carrie Wea- er wanted to go back to Lock Haven, (she married Ed Caldwell) and someone suggested llmer Weaver hitch one of those )ig horses in a buggy and take ler to town, down what was called the Jerry's Hollow road. No one but Pete Doebler lived along that road. They didn't want Elmer to go alone or come back alone so they asked me to go with them. I did. Well, that horse wasn't used to being hitched up alone.

We would go a little ways and the horse would stop and look back fot the other horse. That kept up until we got down to the main road and there near Croaks, the boys were playing ball. That horse stopped again and the boys took their bats and tried to make the horse go on but she wouldn't. Carrie said she would easily walk the rest of the way. People used to know how to walk, you know.

So, we got the horse turned around without the buggy turning over and oh boy! did that horse ever take us home in a hurry. Myrtle Smart brought her son Don and wife and four sons from down Philadelphia way out. Those boys are really growing up. Mr. and Mrs.

Harry Spraguc and Edna Poorman came out from Lock Haven Friday anc while they were here, Mr. anc Mrs. Shearer from over near Pine came out. Sprague anc Shearer renewed old times for several hours. They sure had a good visit.
