JOSHUA ROZELLE CENTENARIAN AND PIONEER IS DEAD JOSHUA ROZELLE, BORN MORE THAN HUNDRED YEARS AGO, CAME TO THIS REGION WHEN VIRGIN FOREST COVERED THE EARTH AND HAD AN INTERESTING AND LONG LIFE DEATH CAME TO HIM YESTERDAY AT WYOMING AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS. The death of Joshua Rozelle, which occurred yesterday at Wyoming, marked the passing of one of the few remaining who knew the Wyoming Valley in its infancy, as he was among the sturdy pioneers who dared the wilderness in the earlier years of the nineteenth century. Born at the period of the flint and steel, the tallow dip and the trails through virgin forest, he had watched this region grow and had witnessed its remarkable development, affording to him an interesting and long life. Mr. Rozelle had passed the century mark, being 100 years, six months, and one day old.

Despite his advanced age, his faculties were not impaired. Rozelle was a' native of New Jersey, where he was born at Newton on April 9, 1810, the son of pioneer parents. In 1820 the family emigrated into Pennsylvania and settled in what is now Lackawanna county. They cleared off the forest and tilled the fields there for years, founding the settlement known as Newton, after the home town in New Jersey. Mr.

Rozelle had followed agricultural pursuits, continuing the tilling of the soil until some years ago, when his life partner, who was Miss Clarissa Corey, whom he married in 1839, passed away. He then came to Wyoming and took up his residence with his children, respected residents of that community. Interesting indeed were the relations by the aged gentlemen of the days when this region was young and when danger and adventure lay at every hand. He had an unusually comprehensive knowledge of local history and the various steps which this region had taken in its advancement. The only impairment of the faculties of the centenarian consisted of a slight deafness.

His sight was excellent and his mind was remarkably clear. 'He never missed an election and was an ardent supporter of the Republican principles. Mr. Rozelle had been a faithful member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. An interesting event in history of the life just closed was the observance last April of the 100ta anniversary of Mr.

Rozelle's birth. Children and grandchildren gathered at thna Rozelle home, in Wyoming heard the old gentleman recount tales of his youth One feature of this day was the family photograph, in which the aged is seen surrounded by his many descendants. Until several weeks ago, Mr. Rozelle nad enjoyed good health, but he slipped and fell, injuring his thigh. His advanced years and the shock of the accident proved too much for the aged man and he grew weaker steadily, passing away yesterday.

Six sons and one daughter had been born to Mr. and Mrs. Rozelle. Of them, all but one son, who died about four years ago, are living. The surviving children Perry, Mt.

Zion Mrs. Amos Bumgarten, Scranton, Ebenezer, Wilbur, Eaward, and Wi.liam, of Wyon ing; also 12 grandchiidren and 19 great grandchiidren. The funeral will be held on Wednesday afternoon at two o'clock at Wyoming. Grandchildren will act as pall-bearers. Interment will be made in Mt.

The Hops. The ingredient most frequently associated with the making of beer is the blossom of the hop vine. In the hop fields the vines are twined on poles and when ripe are picked, dried and then baled. Domestic hops are grown in "York State" and on the Pacific coast but the finest are imported from the fields of Bohemia. The genuine taste and flavor of real beer can only be gotten by the use of Bohemian hops which accounts for the rich full flavor of Glennon's.

And right here a touch of the personal will not be amiss. You may have become accustomed to the taste of an overly sweet brand. Excessive sweetness is a characteristic of cheaply brewed beer. Glennon's is not sweet, neither is it bitter, and yet it has a positive distinct flavor which proves the presence of Bohemian hops -the best. (To be continued) 'S BEER Case of 24 Pints, $1.00.
