My great grandmother, Alice Estelle Garlock Harvey, clipped newspaper 
articles and pasted them in an old farm book. The resulting book (and 
there are two of them) that orginally was probably only an inch in 
thickiness is over three inches thick. Most of the articles are about 
people living in the Monroe/Pierpont/Crawford county, PA area. And most 
of them have no dates unless they're mentioned in the article itself, 
though they range from 1898 to 1912 or so. Most of them are obituaries, 
marriages and reunions.

LEE WAKEMAN
______
Funeral Held Here Today
______
Was One of the Patents Handled So Brutally By Attendants Before the 
Investigation.
______
	Lee Wakeman, formerly a local saloonist, who was sent to the Newburg 
Asylum for the insane several months ago, died at the asylum Saturday night.  
His body was brought home on Lake Shore train No. 40 yesterday and the funeral 
will be held from the house this afternoon, Rev. Barnes officiating.
	Mr. Wakeman, who was a well known character about the city, formerly 
operated the old "Half-Way" house on Harbor street.  On complaint of neighbors 
he was examined and adjudged insane and sent to the Newburg asylum.  It will be 
remembered that during the examination of the institution by the state 
authorities, it was brought out that Wakeman was one of the many who received 
brutal treatment at the hands of the attendants.  Mrs. Wakeman was recently 
called to Cleveland on receiving news that he could not long survive.  Death is 
attributed to a general running down, characteristic of his affliction, 
softening of the brain.
Planned For Meat Market.
	In connection with Wakeman being adjudged insane and sent to the 
institution, a pathetic incident is recalled.  Wakeman's affliction seemed to 
grow steadily worse after the fourth ward option petition was allowed, knocking 
out his saloon as well as a number of others.  He brooded over the loss of his 
business to a great extent.  Finally the afflicted man was possessed with the 
idea that he was going to operate a butcher shop in his building and that the 
city council was going to pass an ordinance, compelling every resident north of 
the Lake Shore tracks to buy his meat.  When he was last brought before the 
local authorities he unfolded the plan to them, and it was with the intention of 
going before the probate judge to arrange for the ordinance that he was 
peacefully taken to Jefferson.


MONTGOMERY - ROOD
	Wending their way very quietly to Ashtabula Monday afternoon, Miss Ilo 
Rood, who is very well known here and whose mother lives in Girard, and Ernest 
O. Montgomery, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Montgomery, of Mill and Center roads, 
were united in marriage.
	The young people had divulged their plans to no one, and the news was 
learned with great surprise by all their many friends.
	After the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery went to Girard, to the home of 
the bride's mother, for a visit.
GETTING MARRIED
______
Marie Rupp, Aged 25, Married Three Times, Divorced Twice in Five Years.
_____
	Jefferson, Mar. 2. - Married three times and divorced twice in four years, 
five months and four days is the record of Marie Rupp-Perry-Woodworth, aged 25 
of Ashtabula.
	On Sept. 18, 1906, she was married to Bird Perry by Rev. Henderson of 
Jefferson M. E. church.  On Dec. 24, 1907, she was granted a divorce from Perry 
on the grounds of gross neglect of duty.  On Feb. 12, 1908, she was again 
married, this time to Fremont A. Woodworth, by D. W. Mason, a justice of the 
peace in Ashtabula.  This time she was married about three years before she 
secured a divorce, which she did on December 20, 1910, on the grounds of gross 
neglect of duty.  At this divorce hearing Judge Roberts told her she ought to 
have a guardian appointed to keep her from getting married again.  She promised 
Judge Roberts she would not get married again and said that she had had enough 
of married life, but only two months passed before she was married again.  On 
Feb. 22, 1911, she was married by Rev. D. W. Knight of the Jefferson M. E. 
church, at the probate office, to Arthur F. Woodworth, of Jefferson, a cousin of 
the man she had just divorced.
	If Mrs. Woodworth wishes another divorce she will have to go to Reno or 
some other place, as she will not be granted another divorce in this court.



THE KNAPP JURY IS DISCHARGED
______
Unable to Agree in the $10,000 Damage Suit Against Dorset Telephone Company.
______
	Jefferson, March 12. - The jury in the Knapp $10,000 damage case, against 
the Dorset Farmers Telephone Co., disagreed after being out on the case about 
eight hours.  Shortly after noon Saturday the jury came in and reported to Judge 
Roberts that they could not agree but he sent them back for further 
deliberation, but it did no good.
	In this case Melissa Knapp sued the Dorset Farmers' Telephone company for 
alleged injuries sustained last year by falling into a post hole one evening.  
She claimed there was no sign of danger around the hole and that she could not 
see it.






NOT JUST WHAT HE WIRED
______
		Wife Refused to Wail, but It Was No Wonder That She Was Angry.
______
	A speaker at a dinner in New York, said of certain customs dodgers:
	"They do very incriminating things, then they claim that these things are 
mistakes.  Granting them to be mistakes, they are suspicious - as suspicious as 
the business man's wire.
	"The wife of a young business man got a wire from her husband the other 
evening that said:
	"Shall dine with Milly Brown, an old gal of mine. Will be late.  Don't 
wail for me.'
	"When the business man reached home at midnight, his wife met him in the 
hall.
	"Wail for you!' she sneered.  'Why, I wouldn't wail for the best man that 
ever lived.  Let alone you!"
	"Why, my dear _____ he stammered.
	"Then bursting into tears, she handed him the telegram, and in a jiffy he 
explained that what he had really wired was:
	"Shall dine with Billy Brown, an old pal of mine.  Will be late.  Don't 
wait for me."

	OBITUARY NOTICE
	Mrs. E. C. Brooks died November 6, 1907.  Harriett A. Wright was born at 
Conneaut, Ohio, May 16, 1839, at the old Wright homestead on the Center road 
about two miles south of Conneaut.  Her parents, Ralph and Ann Wright, will be 
remembered by many of the older people here, their parents being among the first 
settlers in this section of the state.
	Harriett  A. was the oldest of a family of seven children, of these five 
are still living:  Eugene Wright of Iola, Kansas; Mrs. J. A. Randall of Vassar, 
Mich.; Mrs. Josephine Ripley of Lansing, Mich.; Mrs. F. E. Wellman of Cleveland, 
Ohio, and Mrs. A. B. Randall of Bushnell, Ohio, the other sister, Mrs. Lester 
Griswold died at this city several years ago.  Harriett Wright was united in 
marriage to Lewis Thurber of this place in1857.  Three boys were the fruits of 
this union., of whom two, Frank W. Thurber of Chattway, Wash., and Charles L. 
Thurber of Chatfield, Minnesota, are still living, the other boy, Orrin, dying 
at the age of two years.
	Lewis Thurber responded to the call of his country during the civil war, 
becoming a member of Company H. Thirty-ninth Regiment, O. V. I.  He died at Camp 
Dennison, O., July 13, 1865, and was brought here for burial.
	In 1875 Mrs. Thurber was united in marriage to Edward E. Brooks, who is 
still living with their only son, Natt C. Brooks, at whose home she died.  Mrs. 
Brooks was a great sufferer for many years, especially so during the past five 
years and while her presence will be sadly missed in the home and her death 
deeply felt by her husband, children and many relatives and friends, to whom her 
many acts of helpfulness and kindness in time of trouble had proven her true 
worth, still through the sorrow comes the comforting thought that at least she 
is free from all pain and suffering and is now at rest.
	The funeral services were held at the home Friday, November 8, at 1:30 p. 
m., Rev. Young of the Christian church officiating.  The floral offerings were 
profuse and beautiful, those presented by the W. R. C. of which Mrs. Brooks was 
a member, from the neighbors and friends who lived near, and the beautiful sheaf 
of wheat from the Helping Hands society being especially worthy of mention.
	The interment was made in the Conneaut cemetery.  Among those who attended 
the funeral from out of town were Mr. and Mrs. F. E. Wellman of Cleveland, Mr. 
and Mrs. A. B. Randall and daughter, Ruby of Bushnell and her son Charles L. 
Thurber of Chatfield, Minn.

C. E. Curwood Returns After Year's Search For a Home and Buys a Farm Near Here

	C. E. Curwood has concluded that Ashtabula county is good enough for him.  
He recently returned after spending a year in travel in all parts of the west, 
northwest and southwest looking for a location for a home.
	Nowhere did he find a section which, all things considered, offered a 
prospect so pleasant from a business and residential points of view as Ashtabula 
county presents.
	Mr. Curwood has signified his intention of making this section his 
permanent home, and as an earnest of his sincerity he has purchased the Henry 
Quinn farm of 60 acres on the Center road, about two miles south of the city.  
The deal has been closed and Mr. Curwood will be a farmer.






	DESTRUCTIVE HAIL STORM
_____
Windows Broken and Heavy Damage to Growing Crops.
______
	A terrific wind and hail storm swept over portions of Crawford county on 
Thursday afternoon, doing damage running into thousands of dollars.  The path of 
the storm was less than a mile wide and in Western Crawford it swept over a 
comparatively small territory, but where it struck if left a trail of 
devastation.  The heaviest damage was done south and east of Conneautville, in 
Summit and Summerhill townships, and almost entirely by hail.  Windows were 
broken and all growing crops beaten down, the wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and 
grass being leveled, and fruit trees stripped.  Hail stones as large as 
butternuts could be gathered by the pail full in sheltered locations after the 
storm.  The storm came from the southwest and went northeast.  On the extreme 
southwest edge of Summit township, windows were broken in the house of J. M. 
Benedict and vegetation cut down.  The storm passed on east and at a point south 
of Dicksonburg did heavy damage on the farms of N. P. Wood, Robert Sloan, and 
others.  It seemed then to lift as it crossed the Conneaut creek valley and 
dropped on the farms of John Bangart, Harry Davenport, John Getzinger, W. R. 
McGill, W. T. Smith, Fred Smith, Daniel Coon, A. N. Wood, Clinton Dout, Elmer 
Gaut and others, on the south line of Summerhill township.  A. N. Wood had 
thirty acres of grass, three of wheat and five of corn so badly cut that he 
thinks them ruined, and all the others suffered similarly, some of them being 
even heavier losers.  Chickens and birds were killed but we have no reports of 
deaths of live stock.  The paint was pelted off the sides of buildings, slate 
roofs cracked, and in many places holes were broken in steel roofs.
	The storm seemed to lift east of Norrisville and skipping over the 
Cussewago and French creek valleys, dropped down in the vicinity of Townville, 
from which place it swept a path a mile wide for eight miles toward Titusville.  
Troy Center, Tryonville and Vrooman were in the path.  The damage was heavier 
there than in this vicinity.
	In Conneautville, and for three miles south and west, no hail fell and the 
storm was only an ordinary one.



CLIFFORD ANDERSON AND MISS LURA LILLY ARE MADE ONE
	Clifford Anderson and Miss Lura Lilly were married recently.



WELL KNOWN ERIE LAWYER IS DEAD
	Erie, Pa., June 10. - Col. James K. Sproul, one of the best known members 
of the Erie county bar, died at his home in this city Sunday, after a brief 
illness.  Col. Sproul served in the Civil war with distinction and in his 
practice at law had acquired an enviable reputation.  A short time ago he went 
with the Shriners in this city to the convention at Los Angeles, Cal., and on 
his return trip was taken seriously ill at Chicago and had to stop over there 
for some little time.  He improved and with a skilled nurse at his side, he came 
to his home in this city.  He grew somewhat better, but had a relapse and death 
ensued yesterday.
	Col. Sproul was known for his natural wit and whether he was trying a case 
or responding to a toast at a banquet, he always made his hearers laugh.  He is 
survived by his wife, three sons and one daughter.


TO MAKE LONG TRIPS ON BICYCLES
	Enroute from Chicago to Buffalo, Edward Schaler and Frank L. Bork, two 
young wheelmen, wheeled through this city Friday afternoon.  They live in 
Buffalo, but for some time have been working in Chicago, and to get home devised 
the now novel scheme of riding back over the 600 miles on bicycles.  Although 
the pair suffered considerable hardship on their travels both were in good shape 
and expected to reach home Sunday night.  They rode an average of fifty-five 
miles a day, but had to resort to railroad on the early part of the journey 
because of a breakdown.  They report the country roads as being almost 
impassable because of the heavy rains.


DODGE --TITUS

RED CARNATION ON BURGLAR'S COFFIN
	Columbus, O., Mar. 1. - A single spray of bright red carnations lay on the 
coffin in which the remains of  "Burglar" Jim Anderson were borne to his grave 
in Mt. Camel cemetery, the gift of the W. C. T. U.  Behind it lies a story.  
With all his faults Anderson never drank.  He had another redeeming quality.  He 
never used profane language.  Hence the flowers from the temperance ladies.
ADAM AND EVE COSTUMES OF CULT
_____
Witness in the Kingdom of God Inquiry Testifies Regarding Visit to Eden.
_____
	Cleveland, O., Mar. 14. - R. Schultz, E. 74th street and St. Clair avenue, 
told Judge Hadden yesterday that he didn't like the way the members of the Lucia 
avenue Kingdom of God cult gave their dress or no-dress rehearsals when he went 
there to inquire into their religion one night four months ago.
	"George met me at the door," said Schultz, "and he didn't wear any 
clothes.  When I got into the room all the others were 'dressed' the same way.  
I only remained about five minutes."
	Schultz gave his testimony at the hearing of insanity charges against 
Louis Sperry, a member of the cult whose wife became the spirit bride of 
"Apostle" George, now serving a sixty-day sentence in the workhouse.  After he 
had left the stand Mrs. Sperry, Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin S. Fogg, William B. 
Phipps, all members of the cult, denied that Adam and Eve costumes were worn by 
the members while they were all gathered in one room.
	Mrs. Carrie Smith, sister of Mrs. Sperry, testified that she had tried to 
get her sister to give up living with George, but that her sister and her 
earthly husband laughed at her efforts and quoted Scripture.  She said that 
Sperry had told her that he had had direct orders from God to give up his wife 
to the leader of the cult.  "He called his own wife, 'sister', said the witness.  
"I think that he is insane.

A FORMER 'PEERLESS TRIO'

Three Engineers of the Nickel Plate (One Now Deceased) Who Had All Known Records 
for Combined Weight Backed Off the Boards.
(Picture accompanies this article.)

	Up to four or five years ago the Nickel Plate road had a secondary 
"Peerless Trio," which, while not as famed as the slogan of the road itself, has 
won more or less publicity in the newspapers and railroad journals.
	The above photograph was taken by E. E. Strock of this city in 1904 and 
represented the three heaviest men on the Nickel Plate road at that time.  They 
were John Reddington (on the left) John Laughlin (on the right) and C. M. Webb 
(seated in the middle.)  Their combined weight was 946 pounds, which is almost 
unbelievable.  Webb's'weight was 380 pounds and he stood 6 feet 1 inch in 
height.  Laughlin was the tallest, standing 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 286 
pounds.  All three of the men were  engineers and resided in this city.
	Today, there is one missing.  Engineer Laughlin was killed a number of 
years ago in a wreck on the east end.  The other two heavy weights reside in 
this city and are still pulling throttles on the Nickel Plate.
	Engineer Webb, who by the way is a veteran, is running on passenger trains 
4 and 5 between this city and Buffalo.  The picture represents a very good 
likeness of him at this time and his weight and height are about the same as at 
the time the photograph was taken.  Engineer Reddington is running the local 
between this city and Cleveland and he will be a veteran in a couple of years.  
Mr. Reddington's weight and height are also about the same as at the time the 
picture was taken.













WILLIE CASTLE PASSES AWAY ABOUT HALF AN HOUR AFTER THE ACCIDENT
_____
Gun Dropped to Sidewalk
______
Bullet Entered Head Under the Right Eye and Lodged in the Brain.
______
	Willie Castle, the fourteen-year-old son of Al Castle, a resident of 
Fairmont street, North Conneaut, was accidentally shot about eight o'clock 
Saturday evening, the lad passing away about half an hour after his arrival at 
the hospital.
	Young Castle, who resides in North Conneaut with his father and two 
sisters, had been to Fenton's store for groceries and had obtained quite a 
number of packages when he started home.  He was carrying a little 22 calibre 
rifle and upon turning down Chestnut street attempted to shift the bundles in 
his arms.  In so doing he lost his hold on the gun and it dropped to the 
sidewalk causing it to discharge.
	The bullet entered the lad's head just below the right eye, and tearing 
its way up under the skull, lodged in the brain.  The victim of the accident 
dropped to the sidewalk and a large crowd soon gathered.  He was carried into 
the Fenton store, where Dr. Leet and an ambulance were called.  He was rushed to 
Grace hospital but passed away shortly afterwards.
	The remains were taken to the home of Earnest Waldo, Mr. Castle's brother-
in-law, on Blair street last evening and the funeral will probably be held from 
this house.  Further than this no arrangements have been made.  Besides his 
father and two sisters, Willie leaves a mother, but his mother and father have 
been estranged for some time past.

ALAS, THRIVING RIPLEY IS DOOMED
	Ripley, the Gretna Green of this section, will be a thing of the past 
after January 1st, 1908.
	This little New York town, which has lured to its confines so many 
Conneaut couples, imbued with a mutual desire to have themselves secretly and 
suddenly tied into a matrimonial knot, will soon sink back into oblivion.  A 
great many couples in this city look back with pleasant memories upon their trip 
to Ripley, and sad to relate, many of these trips are aired in the grist of the 
Jefferson divorce mills.
	At any rate, couples in the city who are considering making such a trip 
will have to hurry, for after January 1st, there is going to be a change.  A new 
law has been passed in New York state which requires every prospective 
bridegroom to secure a marriage license from the town clerk of the place in 
which his prospective bride lives.  The official performing the ceremony must 
return the license to the town clerk properly signed, before the tenth day of 
the next month.

DESERTED YOUNG BRIDE
OF ONLY A FEW MONTHS
_____
Floyd Lewis Disappeared Suddenly Monday Evening - Left Note.
______
	Deserting his bride of only a few months, Floyd Lewis, a well known young 
man residing in Pierpont, disappeared, Monday night, leaving only a short note 
as a clue to where he had gone.
	The note stated that Lewis had departed for North Dakota, but to what 
part, nothing was said.  It was found Tuesday morning on a milk stand near the 
house occupied by the young man's father, Alf Lewis, two miles from the village.
	Young Lewis was united in marriage about three months ago to Miss Myrtle 
Simmons, daughter of Norman Simmons, of Penn Line.  Since their wedding, the 
young people have lived happily together, with absolutely no family troubles, it 
is said.  They lived on a farm near Pierpont.
	Tuesday, Mr. and Mrs. Lewis drove into the village, and visited at the 
home of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Leonard.  Early in the evening, Lewis left the 
house, ostensibly for band practice.  In leaving, however, he told his young 
wife that he would return early and get her, and they would drive that evening 
to the home of her parents.  After spending the night there they would continue 
to Linesville, where they intended to purchase some household furniture.
	Although Mrs. Lewis waited expectantly for her husband's return, he did 
not arrive, and when Mr. Leonard arrived late in the evening, and said Lewis had 
not attended the band practice, she became worried.  Mrs. Lewis sat up until 
midnight waiting in vain for her husband.
	Lewis' horse and buggy were found in the barn at his father's home.  He 
had evidently driven there with the rig, but did not go into the house, leaving 
the note outside.  Mrs. Lewis returned to her parents' home Tuesday, after the 
contents of the note left by her husband had been imparted to her.  Nothing has 
been seen of the missing man by any one in the vicinity.  Young Lewis' father 
arrived Tuesday morning from Linesville with a fine new range for his son.


MR. MARTIN DIED, AFTER LONG ILLNESS AT THE HOME OF HIS DAUGHTER
	Walker Martin died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. May Prince, Sunday 
morning, after a lingering illness.  The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon, 
conducted by Rev. B. D. Addis.
	Ernest Thompson, the little son of Mrs. Jessie Thompson-Smith, died 
Wednesday, July 7th, after an illness of several weeks.  The funeral was held 
Friday at the home.  Rev. Benjamin officiated.
DEATH OF MRS. H. G. HARVEY
	The community of North Girard was much shocked last Wednesday evening, 
Sept. 23, 1908, to hear of the death of Mrs. Sarah A. Harvey, which occurred 
while she was in prayer meeting at the Presbyterian church.  The cause of her 
death was cerebral hemorrhage.
	Mrs. Harvey was the daughter of Erastus and Eliza Dewolf and was born in 
East Springfield in 1842, being thus sixty-six years of age at the time of her 
death.
	In 1867 she was married to Captain Harvey who survives her.  She also 
leaves one sister, Mrs. A. R. Smith, of Girard and three brothers, Edward and A. 
H. Dewolf, both of Conneaut township and Irvin of New Castle.  The funeral 
services were held at her home in North Girard, Friday afternoon, and were 
conducted by her pastor, Rev. J. W. Reese.  Interment took place in the East 
Springfield cemetery.
	Mrs. Harvey was a most lovable woman and one whose sweet, unselfish life 
exerted a great influence on those around her.  She will be greatly missed in 
her home, in the church and Sabbath school and by a wide circle of devoted 
friends.  The beautiful floral tributes at her funeral given by her S. S. class 
and many other friends bore mute testimony to the esteem in which she was held.



THE GRUEY FAMILY RETURNS AGAIN
	Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Gruey, son and daughter, have returned home to 
Conneaut, after spending the winter in California for the benefit of Mrs. 
Gruey's health.
	Through the first two months of their sojourn in the west, they dwelt at 
Santiago, a city noted for its healthful and sanitary climate.  From this 
pleasant city they journeyed to Pasadena, one of the most beautiful cities of 
the coast.  Just before their return home, they visited Los Angeles.  According 
to the descriptions brought home by these travelers, the west is a beautiful 
country and has proved very beneficial to Mrs. Gruey's health.
	For a short time the family expects to reside in this city, but they 
intend to spend the summer in Florida where they have already spent several 
winters.

WORRYING OVER HUSBAND'S STRANGE DISAPPEARANCE, WITHOUT FOOD, WOMAN REMAINS 
PROPPED IN CHAIR
______
	After suffering untold mental and physical agonies for nearly thirty-six 
hours with hunger and thirst gnawing at her vitals, an aged, lady invalid was 
accidentally discovered helpless in her home northeast of Andover Monday 
afternoon.
	The old lady was exhausted nearly to the point of death and the discovery 
was very timely, though grave fears are now entertained that she will not 
recover from the shock.  All the time she was thus imprisoned, her aged husband 
was lying dead from an accident in the yard.  His strange disappearance with the 
subsequent knowledge of his fate, had much to do with the old lady's precarious 
condition.
	Only Moans Answered.
	A stranger, bound for Linesville, stopped at the home of John VanBlaricum, 
about two and a half miles northeast of Andover, Monday afternoon to inquire the 
direction to reach his destination.  He knocked at the door but only agonized 
moans from within responded to his knocking.  Fearing something wrong, he 
hastened to a neighbor's house and with a party returned and entered the house.
	There they found Mrs. Van Blaricum, seventy years of age and helpless from 
rheumatism, propped up in a rocking chair almost unconscious, moaning and 
calling weakly for her husband.  She was placed in bed and medical aid summoned 
and as soon as possible she told her terrible story.
	The helpless woman said that early Sunday morning her husband placed her 
in her chair and then started out of the house with hammer and nails to do some 
repair work, somewhere on the farm, she knew not where.  This was the last seen 
of him, she said, and all day Sunday, Sunday night and up to Monday afternoon 
she had worried over his fate and at the same time suffered the pangs of hunger 
and thirst.
	Husband Found Dead.
	As soon as the unfortunate woman had been cared for the party instigated a 
search about the farm.  The missing man was soon found dead under the ruins of 
an old outbuilding which had evidently collapsed on him while he was repairing 
it.  The old man was 83 years of age and examination showed that his neck was 
broken and one leg fractured, so death was probably instantaneous.
	The news of her husband's fate was a great shock to the aged invalid and 
grave fears are entertained for her recovery.  The funeral over the remains of 
Mr. VanBlaricum was held Tuesday.


ROOSEVELT DAM A HUGE AFFAIR
______
A Stupendous Irrigation Project in Arizona - To Be Opened Soon With Ceremonies.
______
	Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 4. - The Roosevelt dam, the stupendous engineering 
work in connection with the Salt river irrigation project, is completed and will 
be formally opened next month by former President Roosevelt, in honor of whom 
the dam was named.  Preparations already are under way to make the opening a 
gala occasion.  The event will be attended by representatives of the national 
government, public officials of Arizona and neighboring states and by many 
eminent engineers.
	The dam is regarded as one of the marvels of modern engineering.  Located 
in an almost inaccessible canyon, about 70 miles northwest of this city and 60 
miles from the nearest railroad, its rapid and successful construction has been 
watched with great interest by engineers all over the world.
	At the point where the dam crosses the Salt river the stream runs through 
a narrow gorge, across which the huge barrier of stone and cement stretches to a 
length of 1,080 feet.  The dam is 280 feet high, or about the height of the 
Flatiron building in New York.  On top its length is equal to that of two city 
blocks, and provides a roadway 20 feet wide.  The dam contains 326,000 cubic 
yards of masonry.   The blocks of stone were blasted from the canyon walls and 
the hundreds of thousands of barrels of cement used in the construction were 
manufactured by the government in a mill erected on the ground.
Largest Artificial Lake.
	Behind this imposing structure of stone and cement the waters of the 
turbulent stream will form the largest artificial lake in the world.  The great 
reservoir will be 25 miles long and more than 220 feet deep against the dam.  It 
will have a capacity of 56,628,000 cubic feet, or sufficient water to cover the 
state of Delaware a foot deep.



















BACK THERE ON THE OLD FARM
_____
	I was sittin by the fire last evenin, with my hed restin on my hand, kind 
o' easy like, and I says to ma:  It's funny now-a-days how differn't folks live 
then we used to.   Member how as we got out of bed mornings at 4 sun time, 
melted the icicles off our face, jumped in tu our ice cold clothes, and hiked to 
the barn to do the chores, then I had to come back and thaw out the pump with 
the tea kettle of hot water you had ready for me?  Then we sit to our ham and 
eggs and buckwheat cakes.  Then I shouldered my ax and away to the woods and 
chopped till 12.  And we had our dinner and I'd sit 'round and smoke for an hour 
or sich a matter, and then go choppin agin till most dark.  Then there was the 
milkin tu do, the horses tu feed and bed down, the colts to take care of, and 
see if the sheep were all in the shed.  And bring in about six armfuls of wood, 
and then we was ready for supper.  And didn't it taste good; Johnny cake, baked 
potatoes, butter from the day's churnin, a big slice of fresh pork from our own 
killin, maybe a can of plums or peaches.  Yum!  I can most taste it this minute.  
Then before we clim in bed, a big red Baldwin, a pitcher of cider, and perhaps a 
few walnuts and butternuts cracked on the stone hearth, front of the burning 
logs.  And we felt as cumfertable as any culd imagin.  We didn't seem to be in 
sich a great rush to git anywhere, as we didn't hev no reason in particular fer 
goin, fore we started like young folks do now.  Never saw a $5 note all winter 
long ether.  And didn't need to.  What with the cellar full of stuff, as we hed 
raised.  The mow full of feed fer the stock, and the hens layin nuff eggs to 
trade fer coffee, sugar and such, to keep us goin, we sure wuz hunky dory.  But 
say, ma, its most nine sun time and here I sit ponderin after my bedtime.  I'll 
hev to take up the subject again tomorer evenin.

shotgun against the door and told the officers not to touch the door and to 
leave the premises at once or he would shoot them into strings.

watch until daylight.  Then another attack was made upon the dwelling.  One of

Breezes.
______
	Washington, July 1. - The Weather Bureau tonight announced that the month 
just closed was the coolest June recorded in the last seventy-five years in 
Washington, and that the same is probably true of New England, the Middle 
Atlantic States and the lower lake region.  In other parts of the country the 
temperatures were also lower than usual.
	The bureau's official statement says in explanation:  "As in previous cold 
Junes, the distribution of atmospheric pressure over the Canadian maritime 
provinces and the North Atlantic was such as to cause a predominance of ocean 
winds in northern districts.

	CUPID WINS OUT AT LAST MOMENT
______
	Won Over Call Of The Books
______
Miss Florence Barnes Started for O. S. U., But Ended Up as Bride in Dunkirk.
_____
	It was a surprised lot of relatives and friends in North Conneaut Thursday 
who received the
news of the wedding of Miss Florence Barnes to Andrew Whipple.  The young couple 
had returned Thursday noon from Dunkirk, N. Y., where the knot had been tied by 
the Rev. Lloyd Fisher at his parsonage.
	Miss Barnes, grandchild of Rev. and Mrs. G. N. Barnes, had made her home 
with them for some years past.  She was a member of the high school graduating 
class of '07 and held the high honor of being the valedictorian.  After 
graduating, her father had promised to send her to Ohio State University at 
Columbus.  Arrangements were all made for the trip and she departed Saturday 
with her trunks and luggage for Columbus to enter the college.
	Andrew Whipple, a young man of North Conneaut, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. 
Whipple, volunteered to accompany Miss Barnes to Columbus to see that she made 
the trip safely and was properly located at the state's hub. The couple boarded 
a P. & O. car, westbound and went to Ashtabula.  There, instead of continuing 
westward, the couple took a Lake Shore train for Dunkirk and there the knot was 
tied.  Whether the whole affair was a deep laid scheme, or whether Miss Barnes 
fully intended to enter college when she left here and was afterwards dissuaded 
by Mr. Whipple, is the question their friends are trying to solve.

hospital June 4.  She left the hospital with the babe to go to the home of 
friends, still later she told her friends she was going to Boston.  She cannot 
now be found but may be in Cleveland, to which place she went from here.

MISS ALICE JACOBS SUCCUMBS
______
Had Lived Alone and Operated Farm on Center Road for Years - Funeral Tuesday.
______
	Miss Alice Jacobs, a resident of the Center road, just south of Daniels' 
avenue, passed peacefully away Sunday at her home.  The deceased had been ill 
for some time and for the past week her death had been considered only a matter 
of days.  Although suffering much pain in her last illness, she had borne it 
with a patient spirit.  She was over 80 years of age and the demise was due to 
old age.
	Miss Jacobs was a lifelong resident of this township and was one of its 
oldest residents.  She was born in a little house, just across the street from 
her later home, on October 19, 1827.  Her father, upon coming to this section, 
purchased a large tract of wilderness, which now comprises several large farms.  
When the deceased was three years of age, the family moved into the present 
homestead and although the father was bedridden, he continued to direct very 
profitably the development of his land by the use of hired hands.
Operated Farm Alone.
	When Miss Jacobs was twenty-four years of age, the father died, the 
daughter never having seen her father walk.  The mother and daughter continued 
to operate the farm to good advantage until the mother's death in 1889, after 
which the daughter took up the work and has continued it ever since.  It was the 
burden of care of her bedridden father that greatly impaired her own health.  
Although never married, Miss Jacobs took a great interest in children and was 
never so happy as when surrounded by them.  She was gentle and unassuming and 
was ever a friend to those in need.
	No immediate relatives are left in this vicinity, a cousin, Miss Esther 
Sawtelle of the Center road, being the nearest.  One brother, Dennis, resides in 
South Dakota. Two nephews, Dana Jacobs of Erie, and Dewirt Jacobs of Tacoma, 
Wash., and a niece, Mrs. Arthur Moore, whose whereabouts is unknown, also 
survive.  The funeral services will be held from the late home on the Center 
road at twelve-thirty, Rev. R. E. Benjamin of Pierpont officiating.  Interment 
will be made in the city cemetery.

JAY COLE SHOT WIFE AND COMMITTED SUICIDE
______
Tragic Affair Near Clark Corners This Morning - Bullet Glanced From Woman's Head 
But Cole Shot Himself Through Roof of Mouth and Died Instantly
______
	Jay Cole, prominent Brown Corners farmer, shot his wife this forenoon and 
then turned the weapon upon himself and died from the self-inflicted wound.
	Mrs. Cole will live, according to the statement of Dr. B. C. Eades of this 
city, who was called to the Cole homestead near Brown's Corners, immediately 
after the shooting.
	Brown's Corners is midway between Clark Corners and Cherry hill.  The 
couple have had considerable trouble since shortly after their marriage a year 
or so ago.  Mrs. Cole was the widow of the late Mort Griffey, who was a well 
known farmer in the neighborhood where the horrible happening of this morning 
occurred.
	Of late the Coles have had more trouble than usual.  The trouble was 
aggravated today when Mrs. Cole's son by a former marriage, Carl Griffey, of 
this city, went to the Cole home to get a horse he had purchased from his 
mother.
	Cole became incensed and forbade the youth taking the horse.  Mrs. Cole 
insisted that he take the animal, as she owned the farm and the horse.  The 
couple continued to quarrel.
	Cole drove his wife from the house with a poker.  The son took his mother 
in the cutter to bring her to this city and was about to drive away when Cole 
rushed from the house with a rifle.
	Raising the weapon to his shoulder as the couple drove away, Cole fired.  
The bullet struck Mrs. Cole in the side of the head and glanced away.  The woman 
fell into the arms of her son.  Taken immediately to the home of Mrs. Eli 
Ackerly, neighbors, the woman was given immediate attention.
	Cole, after shooting his wife and seeing her fall, rushed back into the 
kitchen of his home and there shot himself.  Placing the muzzle of the gun in 
his mouth, he pulled the trigger and the bullet penetrated the brain.  It plowed 
its way through the roof of the mouth and came out the top of the skull.
	Death was instantaneous.
	Dr. Eades was summoned from this city to attend Mrs. Cole.  He found that 
the bullet had struck her in the side of the head but that it had not penetrated 
the skull, although it plowed through the scalp to the bone.  Mrs. Cole soon 
regained consciousness and was rational thereafter.  The attending physician 
believes that the skull was not fractured and that Mrs. Cole will recover.
	Neighbors rushed to the Cole home right after the happening and there 
found Cole lying dead on the floor of the kitchen.  The body remained there 
during the greater part of the day, awaiting the arrival of Coroner Hanley of 
Erie county, who had been immediately notified.
	The entire neighborhood was much aroused by the tragedy enacted at their 
doors.  The prominence of the people made the shooting the more regretted.  All 
are well known in Conneaut.
	Carl W. Griffey, Mrs. Cole's son, who lives at No. 323 Monroe street, this 
city, is a fireman on the Nickel Plate railroad.

CONSTABLE CHILSON GETS PENNSYLVANIA MAN WANTED HERE FOR OBTAINING GOODS UNDER 
FALSE PRETENSES
______
	A clever forger was caught by a clever constable yesterday afternoon when 
Constable Carl Chilson apprehended Chas. Thornton, a resident of Pennsylvania, 
wanted here for obtaining goods under false pretenses and forgery.
	P. L. Fenton yesterday swore out a warrant for Thornton, who lives near 
Penn Line, charging that he had obtained goods to the amount of about $20 by 
forging the name of his sister Mrs. Thompson, of this city, to an order.  
Chilson made the trip, but knowing that Thompson was too wise to be taken from 
Pennsylvania without extradition papers, he obtained a resident of Ohio to cross 
the line to Thornton's home and get him to come over to Ohio.  Chilson nabbed 
him.  In police court yesterday he was given a fine of $10 and cost and 10 days 
in jail.  He is now out and attempting to get the money.

L. E. STANELY DIES SUDDENLY
______
Passed Away at Liberty Street Home This Morning - Been in Poor Health Two Years.
______
	L. E. Stanley passed suddenly but peacefully away at his home on Liberty 
street some time aobut 9:30 o'clock this morning.  Death was due to heart 
failure and brought to a close two years of suffering from a complication of

but afterward again laid down to rest.  Mrs. Stanley had attended to his wants 
when he arose and then left the room to attend to her morning household duties.  
When she returned to her husband's room about 9:30, it was discovered that the 
soul of her husband had flown sometime during her absence.  From all 
appearances, he had merely slept away.
	Mr. Stanley was 51 years of age and he leaves besides his wife, four 
children.  A sister, Mrs. W. M. Southern of Cleveland, and an uncle W. F. 
Stanley, of this city, also survive.  The family removed to the Stanley farm 
south of the city from Rochester, O., in 1900 and some time ago moved into the 
city.  The deceased had a wide acquaintance as a railroad contractor and work is 
now being carried on in Lorain under his name.  For the past two years, however, 
he has been unable to attend actively to his work.  He was an attendant at the 
Methodist church here and had a wide circle of friends.  The funeral 
announcement will be made later.

Corners and seven miles from this city, was destroyed by fire on Monday night 
near midnight.
	Most of the contents was saved.
	The family had retired and the fire, which was caused by a defective 
chimney and caught at the roof line, had made great progress before it was 
discovered.
	Before the family could do anything, the entire roof was ablaze and 
efforts were confined chiefly to saving the household effects, as there was no 
available means of fighting a big fire.
	The structure was reduced to a mass of ruins, and there was considerable 
loss on goods.  The house was insured.  
	Miss Pearl Marcy, a teacher in the district school, who was a boarder at 
the Hall home, lost part of her wearing apparel.

SCOTT MAUSOLEUM AT ERIE ROBBED
______
Several Crypts Broken Into and One Casket Taken Away Entirely Last Night.
______
	Erie, Pa., Feb. 9. - The magnificent Scott mausoleum, located in the Erie 
cemetery, was found early last night to have been ransacked and robbed.  Several 
of the crypts were broken into, the copper cases holding the caskets had been 
opened, apparently with chisels, and two or three of the caskets had been 
opened, apparently with chisels, and two or three of the caskets themselves 
practically demolished, while one was taken away entirely.
	A company of women, passing through the cemetery yesterday afternoon, 
approached the mausoleum.  On coming to the heavy bronze gates they noticed that 
the lock of the other gates were not fastened.  A closer view showed them that 
the panel of one of the inner doors seemed to have been tampered with.  One of 
the women reached in through the bars and touched the panel, whereupon it fell 
into the mausoleum with a crash.  They women then fled and told what they had 
seen to an acquaintance, who, suspecting that the mausoleum had been entered, 
immediately telephoned to Mrs. Charles H. Strong.  Investigation was made 
immediately and the facts above set forth disclosed.  It is thought that the 
vandals who committed the atrocious deed were searching for some particular 
body, since a number of the crypts were broken into, though only one casket was 
actually removed from the mausoleum.
	The body of Mrs. McCullum, sister-in-law of Scott, was taken and is held 
for ransom.  Scott's body was searched for but not taken.

46 YEARS AGO TODAY THEY LEFT
______
2nd Ohio Battery Boys
______
Reunion of Remaining Members Will Be Held on Academy Green Wednesday and 
Thursday.
_____
	Forty-six years ago today, midst the weeping of wives and sweethearts and 
the farewells and God speeds of fathers, brothers and sons, left behind to 
support the families, the boys of the 2nd Ohio Battery marched off the Academy 
green to war with Captain Thomas Carlin at their head.  Long and fearlessly did 
they fight for the union to return again depleted in numbers from the ravages of 
battles and sickness.
	On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the remainder of the "Battery 
Boys" with their families and friends will meet in reunion on the same old 
Academy green where in 1861 they marched off so quick and steady in step, many 
of them never to return again.  Since their return from war, many have answered 
the last roll call and now there is only about a score left out of the original 
company which numbered nearly a hundred.  Each year, the boys try to hold the 
reunion as near the date of their leaving as possible and this year only one day 
intervenes.  A good program has been arranged for this year's reunion and as 
usual the ladies will serve meals for those of the members who are able to 
attend.  On Thursday evening a camp fire with speeches will be the closing 
feature of the reunion.

GIANT POWDER FOUND IN COAL ON
 N. P. ENGINE
______
	Detectives of the Nickel Plate are endeavor-ing to uncover a mystery which 
surrounds the presence of a large can of giant powder found in the coal which 
was about to be shoveled into the firebox of an engine a few days ago.  A west-
bound train was taking water at Hobart and in scooping coal the fireman knocked 
mud and coal dust from the can, and shining tin attracted his attention.  Had 
the can gone into the firebox, an explosion which would have ruined the engine 
and killed the occupants of the cab, would have followed.  The presence of the 
can of powder is a mystery.
