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. *********************************************************************** QUIET WEDDING LAST EVENING (1915 written in pencil here) A quiet wedding was solemnized last evening in the Christian church parsonage when Rev.

Just before the wedding, Miss Mabel McDonald, an intimate friend of the bride, sang very sweetly, "O Promise Me," with Miss Velma Stemen at the piano. As the clock struck twelve, the chords of the Lohengrin wedding march, played by Miss Bess Shoop summoned the wedding party. The bride was a picture of loveliness and girlish simplicity, as she entered on the arm of her eldest brother, who gave her away. Her dress was of dainty white charmeuse with trimmings of lace and bride's roses. A coronet of roses and lillies of the valley offered a fitting touch to the blond hair. As the bride approached the nuptial altar, she was joined by the groom. The young couple took their place amidst a wealth of greenery. Large quantities of cedar were arranged to from banks on each side, while overall stretched the arch of green in which were fastened dozens of bride's roses. The impressive ring ceremony was performed by the Rev. W. W. Lance. The Mendelssohn wedding march announced the completion of the ceremony. After hearty congratulations the bride and groom led the way to the dinng room which was beautiful in its festooms of greenery. An elaborate wedding dinner was served.

Christman Charged With Having Committed Rape on Twelve-Year-Old Girl. Arrested and Bound Over to Court - Held in Default of Heavy Bond - Child Tells Story Only after Close Questioning. ___ A revolting case was heard this morning in Judge Dorman's court, in which a local man John A. Christman was tried on the charge of committing a rape upon a girl of 12 years of age, Alice Thornton of Corry, Pa. The testimony of the girl was to the effect that she came here from Corry, Pa., on Sunday last to visit relatives here, of which she has several, that she went into a restaurant on Washington street, and there she met the defendant, who is related to her by marriage. In the afternoon, she testified Christman took her out to a farm where he is supposed to be working and that after showing her a loaded pistol, and making various threats, committed the alleged assault against her desire. Later in the evening, the plaintiff alleged, Christman brought her to town, and she went to see her great-aunt, living on the East Side. Her relatives there tried to persuade her to stay during the night, but the girl persisted in leaving,, saying she had got a room in the city and paid for it. This statement, under cross examination was found to be untrue, and it was also learned that owing to the strange manner of the girl her East Side realtives followed her when she left tracing her to the west end of the High Level bridge, where she again met Christman, and thence to a restaurant on Washington street, and from there to a room which Christman rents in the city. Realizing that all was not right, the relatives communicated with the police, and night chief Karus proceeded to the place and took the girl away, her relatives taking her back to their home on the East Side. Even then they knew nothing of the alleged offense, but yesterday the girl admitted to them that Christman had attempted an assault on Sunday afternoon and this morning confessed that intercourse took place. The matter was thereupon placed in the hands of attorney M. R. Smith and Christman, who has been in jail since yesterday on issuance of a warrant, was brought in to answer the charge Judge Dorman held the case sufficiently serious to warrant him in committing Christman to the grand jury under a $1,000 bond, and Christman was taken back to jail to await arrangement of his bond. If such arrangements can be made. FRUIT GROWERS! LISTEN TO THIS ___ Michigan Orcharist Picked 2,600 Bushels of Spies From 110 Trees. Visitor Here is One of State's Best Known Fruit Men - Sold 5,000 Barrels of Duchess One Season. ___ Conneaut orcharists have something to look forward to if they expect to get into the same class with a fruit grower visiting in the city today. Charles B. Scudder, of Augusta, Mich., is a guest of City Solicitor Mygatt. He owns some apple orchards which speak for themselves. That is they produce the kind of fruit which brings in the coin of the realm, and money talks. From 110 Northern Spy trees he has just harvested 2,600 bushels of the best fruit. By best fruit is meant A No. 1., hand picked, and the lower grades were not taken into account. That's about 24 bushels to the tree, which is quite a record. A few years ago he marketed 5,000 barrels of Duchess of Oldenburgs from one orchard. Then, too, he has orchards in which other species are grown. Mr. Scudder is known as one of the best fruit men in Michigan and Michigan is a fruit growing state. It is renowned for its apples, which, perhaps, do not have the bright color and appearance of the Hood River and Washington fruits, but which, neverthe-less, have the flavor to the Nth degree. And who wants to eat an apple for its looks. It's the flavor that tickles the palate. FUNERAL OF THE LATE MRS. MIRANDA LILLIE ___ The funeral of Mrs. Miranda Lillie was held at the home of Mr. Chas.

PROMISES OF MARRIAGE DENIED ___ $5000 Breach of Promise Suit Being Heard in Jefferson ___ Woman, Now Married, Asks Damages From Man, Now Also Married - Prominent Saybrook Farmer. __ BULLETIN Jefferson, Oct. 27. - After securing a jury and as the case was about to go to trial this afternoon, a settle-ment was affected in the Mrs. William Hyde, nee Van Luven, case against Bates. The settlement provided that the defendant pay the costs of the case. At the same time a pending case in which Bates was plaintiff and in which the administrator of the estate of Lewis Luvan, deceased, father of the plaintiff in the breach of promise action, was defendant, was also settled, the plaintiff paying the costs. ___ A jury in common pleas court at Jefferson is listening today to testimony in the trial of a breach-of-promise case, wherein Mrs. William Hyde formerly Miss Mabel Van Luven, of Harpersfield, is suing Jay C. Bates, prominent Saybrook farmer for $5000. Both parties to the action have been married since the suit was filed. The plaintiff is a daughter of the late Lewis Van Luven, of Harpersfield, who was killed by a son upon the occasion of the father's shooting and killing the mother on the night of November 14th, 1913, the boy being exonerated by a coroner's jury. The defendant, Jay C. Bates, is a well-to-do farmer, residing in Saybrook. Bates is the plaiantiff in an action filed against the administrator of the estate of Lewis Van Luven deceased, wherein he seeks to recover a judgment in the sum of $500 for money alleged to have been loaned to the late Mrs. Van Luven, through the daughter, plaintiff in the suit on trial. Mott G. Spaulding represents the defendant and J. H. Copp and H. E. Starkey represent the plaintiff. The plaintiff's petition, in part, alleges that plaintiff and defendant, on or about the 20th day of July, 1912, agreed to marry one another, said marriage to take place on the 28th of April, 1914; that the engagement between the parties to the action continued from the day of said promise to the date of March 18th, 1914, when the defendant married another woman; that in consequence of the conduct of the defendant, the said plaintiff lost said marriage and was injured in her health, and feelings and is deprived of the gains, profits, comforts and happi-ness which would have resulted from the marriage with him. The defendant's answer to the allegations contain-ed in plaintiff's petition set forth, in part, that the parties to the action were engaged to be married, but that on June 21st, 1913, plaintiff wholly dissolved, ignored and discharged defendant from his said promise and refused and failed to marry defendant on the day set; that on two occasions thereafter the parties agreed to be married, but the plaintiff refused to carry out the agreement and in the early part of the month of November, 1913, again wholly releas-ed and discharged defendant from his performance of said contract. The defendant's petition further alleges that the sole reason for the agreement to marry, as made at different times in 1913, on the part of the plaintiff, was that she might, by holding out the same to this defendant, induce him to loan her various sums of money, which he did; that a short time before the marriage of the defendant, plaintiff stated to defendant that under no circum-stances or conditions would she marry him.

MOTORCYCLIST COLLIDES WITH TWO VEHICLES ___ Willis Fuller, of Farnham, Suffers Fractured Leg and Other Injuries. ___ Hits Buggy Going in Same Direction, is Thrown Across the Road and into Side of Approaching Auto - Occupants of Vehicles Escape. ___ Willis Fuller, proprietor of the South Ridge mills at Farnham, was seriously hurt last evening when he was thrown from his motorcycle after running into a carriage and an automobile as he was climbing the Center road hill just north of the two covered bridges, at Farnham. The mills are located beside Conneaut creek at the foot of the hill and Fuller had just left the mills to go to his home at the Corners. It was about eight o'clock. No fault attaches to either the driver of the auto-mobile or to the occupants of the buggy. All were young ladies and each vehicle was on the right side of the road. The cyclist, in explaining the accident, says, he saw the automobile coming down the hill and figured to give it a wide berth. He did not see the horse and buggy, however, evidently being blinded by the automobile headlights. Turning out for the machine he struck the buggy a glancing blow, wrecking the buggy wheels, and was thrown across the highway and into the side of the automobile. The collision threw Fuller heavily to one side of the road. His left leg was badly fractured and numerous bruises sustained. He was taken into the Wm. Wright home where his injuries were dressed by Drs. Leet and Warner. This morning he was taken to his own home. The Misses Mildred and Laura Hogle and Miss Marion Hamilton, occupants of the buggy were thrown out when the cycle collided with their vehicle but none of them were seriously hurt. Miss Hazel Wright, who was driving the automobile, was unhurt. The Wright Hudson-six was somewhat damaged. BIG STACK AT LIGHTING PLANT NEARS COMPLETION ___ Expert Chimney Builders are Raising Structure 125 Feet Into the Air - "Conneaut" Spelled Out in Big Letters to Tell People Where They're At. ___ That the new smoke stack of the municipal electric light plant is a very handsome structure is the opinion heard on all hands. The chimney will, so Superintendent Ben Laubach told a News-Herald reporter today, be finished about the middle of next week, and when completed be 125 feet high, with a six foot flue. The outside diameter at the top will measure 7 feet 4 inches, and at the base 11 feet 8 inches. The work is being done by the Alphonse Custodis Chimney Construction company of New York city, and they certainly know their business. "I never saw a better lot of mechanics," said Laubach today, "and they are putting up a first-class job. The work was only started a week ago yesterday, and will be finished by Tuesday or Wednesday. The work of installing the new boilers and stokers will be proceeded with just as soon after the chimney is completed as circumstances will permit." A pleasing feature of the new stack is the word "Conneaut" let in with slate colored letters vertically placed on both sides, so that strangers approaching the stack from either end of the bridge cannot fail to keen the name of the city in mind. HOUSEL-VAN GORDER Slipping quietly away from the city on separate trains, on Wednesday September 18th, Miss Pearl Van Gorder and Clyde M.

JOHNSON FOUND DEAD ___ Well Known Resident of Bushnell Died Alone and Had Been Dead Thirty-Six hours When Discovered By Neighbors. Lester B. Johnson, age 58, a well known resident of Bushnell, was found dead in bed Sunday morn-ing. Mr. Johnson had evidently been dead thirty-six hours when found. Mrs. Johnson was absent at Albion visiting a son and Mr. Johnson was alone in the house. On Friday morning he went to a neighbor's house and bought some bread. He complained of not feeling well. Friday evening the neighbor saw him again and he said he was feeling better. That was the last seen of Johnson alive. Sunday morning two or three neighbors went to the house and found the door locked. They contrived to get the door open far enough to see Mr. Johnson's body lying on the bed. They telephoned to this city for Doctor Leet who instructed the men to enter the house and see if the man was alive. The door was forced and word was sent here that Mr. Johnson was dead. Dr. Leet and Coroner Baxter went to Bushnell and decided that death was due to acute indigestion. From the rumpled condition of the bedclothing and the appearance of the corpse, the conclusion was drawn that Mr. Johnson must have suffered greatly before death came to relieve him. On a table a large oil lamp was still burning, which indicated that death had occurred during the night of Friday.

We did not think when children And prattling at your knee, That your earthly face would vanish, We thought 'twould ever be. But as the days were passing, Your hair was turned to gray, We felt the time was coming When you would slip away. And now we're left to mourn thee, A mourning without fear, Your Savior will ever guide us, And your spirit will be near. Blest be the God who giveth A mother kind and true; No other gift so precious Can e'er be given you. She taught us of the Savior, Who died for all mankind; But now she rests in Heaven, Earth's cares are left behind. May the mantle of the mother, Be caught by those she leaves, They be ripened with the harvest And gathered with the sheaves. Dear Saviour, help us ever To walk the narrow way, To know our Saviour liveth And helps us every day. Kind friends make sure of Heaven You've no promise of a day, May your treasures be in glory When you shall pass away.

BEFORE THE COURT TODAY ___ Charles Chadman of This City Assigned to Defend Accused Man. ___ ATTORNEY APPOINTED FOR HIM ___ A Motion to Quash the Indictment Will Be Made - The Prisoner Appeared Unconcerned and Cheerful When Arraigned This Morning - is Confident. ___ Every endeavor will be made to save Jesse Sharp from going to the electric chair. Every device of the law will be appealed to in an endeavor to keep the man who killed Fred Brydle from punishment. His attorney will soon move to quash the indictment found against the man by the special jury which considered the case the first of the week. Sharp was brought into court at Jefferson shortly before noon today and stated that he had no means to employ counsel. Attorney Charles Chadman of this city was thereupon named by the court to defend him. In court Sharp seemed unconcerned and gave every evidence of being satisfied that his claim of justification and that he shot in self defense would secure his release. The court session was short and following it the counsel intimated in conversation that he would early next week move that the indictment be quash-ed. He stated that there was much at fault with the indictment and that he would argue that the man be not tried on that indictment. The court gave the attorney reasonable time to file exceptions to the indictment.

The money which has paid for the grange home has been raised within the last nine years, which, of itself, is something calling for commendation. The grange has now over one hundred members, working harmoniously and to good effect. ESCAPE FRIENDS AND QUIETLY WEDDED (1915 written in pencil here) 'Twas not for well meaning friends, nor even relatives, to give immediate congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Cornell Fuller, for even though it had been expected that there was to be a wedding, friends were not taken into confidence and the couple went to Jefferson on Wednesday afternoon and there, after procuring the necessary document given out by Probate Judge Babcock, were wedded at the Congregational parsonage by Rev. J. A. Goodrich, who has performed the same kindly offices for many Conneaut young people, and older. Mrs. Fuller was Miss Effie Barber, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Hart Barber, of Denmark. She is a sister of Mrs. W. H. Wright, Center street and had often been a guest in the Wright home. She has many fast friends here and is most popular. The bridegroom is a well known young man about town, son of Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Fuller, Farnham, a grad-uate of Conneaut high school class of 1914. He is a highway and bridge contractor with offices in this city. The newlyweds hied themselves away late Wednesday without even intimating to close friends that the expected wedding had already taken place. They spent Thanksgiving in Cleveland with Mrs. B. E. Brayman, formerly of Pierpont but a resident of that city since the death of her husband, Dr. Bray-man, a year ago. Mrs. Brayman is a near friend of the bride. How long they will remain in Cleveland is not known. They will journey westwardly for a few days and are expected to make their home here in the near future. They have the congratulations of many friends.

DELOS HENRY DIED TODAY AT MEADVILLE ___ Wound Self-Inflicted Two Weeks Ago Proved Fatal to Former Conneaut Man. ___ A HIGHER COURT ___ Will Try Henry for the Alleged Murder of His Wife and Mother-in-law - Tragedy Recalled. ___ Delos Henry is dead. A gunshot wound inflicted two weeks ago yesterday after he had shot and killed his wife and his mother-in-law, proved fatal to the murderer and would-be suicide at six-thirty this morning at Meadville. Hovering between life and death for two weeks, at first in the public belief that he would succumb to his self-inflicted wounds, and later giving signs and evidences of a consititution which would withstand the sapping ravages of the wounds which tore a hole in his side, and from the loss of blood, Henry proved a man of both courage and cowardice while in Spencer hospital at Meadville, where he was taken after the tragedy two weeks ago. The event of that Monday when Henry went home in an alleged drunken condition and in a fit of rage is alleged to have shot his wife then his mother- in-law and finally himself, is too well known to need repeating here. The tragedy shocked the people of this community as well as that in which it occurred, for Henry and his family had at one time lived here. He was employed here as a Bessemer engineer and was known to many people. He had not resided here for several years, removing to Girard and later to Meadville. His first wife died while the family lived here. Surviving are three daughters, Mrs. M. H. Bagnall, of East Conneaut, Mrs. Glen Merkle, of Detroit, and a daughter adopted by a sister of Mr. Henry, who resides in Edinboro. A son also survives and makes his home with Mr. and Mrs. Bagnall, here. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been announced, although it is understood interment will be made in the Fairview cemetery.

Mr. Marvin had been ill for the past two years but it has only been the last three or four weeks that his life has been despaired of. The deceased was born in Angelica, N. Y., April 1, 1826. Later he moved to Pierpont, where he was married to Miss Mary E. Darling, on June 10, 1848. Since their marriage sixty-seven years ago, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin made their home in Pierpont until about two years ago when they came to East Conneaut and took up their residence with their son, B. B. Marvin. According to a recent publication it was reported that Orangeville, Ohio, boasted of a couple who have spent more years of married life together than any other couple in Ohio. They celebrated their sixty-fourth wedding anniversary April 10, but had Mr. Marvin lived until June 10, they would have celebrated their 67th anniversary. About four weeks ago Mr. and Mrs. Marvin came to the home of their son, F. T. Marvin, on Broad street and soon after their arrival there he became very ill and since then no hope has been held out for his recovery. Death was due to infirmities.

FIREMEN ARE VISITED BY SANTA CLAUS Old Santa Claus, while making the turn by the city hall from Main into Buffalo street on Christmas eve, was surprised to find lights still burning in the fire department. This was rather awkward as Santa likes to work in the dark, but he had several packages with him for the fire boys so hitched up his old reindeer sled to the community Christmas tree (they say you can see the hoof-marks there right now) and slipped into the fire headquarters in a way just known to himself. The next morning, besides presents from himself, the fire boys found he had left boxes for cigars from Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Shram, who took this method of expressing their appreciation of the work the depart-ment did in saving their home on November 13th last, and from R. R. Richardson, Frank Dunn, Safety Director Grace, Dr. Carl Dewey, G. C. Montigney and A. M. Smith.

CHARLES FARNHAM A GOOD SAMARITAN ____ The Well Known Farmer Takes to His Home to "Make a Man of Him" a Lad Who Took a Bicycle A good Samaritan has been discovered in or near Conneaut. More than that, the man was able to "turn the other cheek" when by so doing, he thought he could help an unfortunate who had treated him badly. A lad of fifteen, journeying along the public high-way, stopped at the home of Charles Farnham, south of the city, last evening and was given a hearty supper with the Farnham family. He said he had been working on a farm somewhere south of there and was on his way to Buffalo, where he hoped to obtain work. Leaving the home where he had been so kindly treated, the young man sought other means of travel than on foot and took a bicycle belonging to his host. Farnham missed the wheel later and tried to apprehend the young fellow in town but was unsuccessful. This morning, however, the boy was caught at the Hogle livery with the wheel, having spent the night at the Watson farm. The owner came after the wheel later and instead of asking that a warrant for the boy's arrest upon the charge of theft be issued he turned to the lad and asked him to accompany him back to the farm, where he could have a home and be cared for in a way that is sure to be to the young man's advantage. The boy, ashamed and humiliated, as he was, could recognize the kindnes and intent of good on the part of Farnham and accepted the man's offer. "I'll take him home and make a man of him," was Farnham's remark as the fellow climbed into the buggy to accopany home his new guardian and father-of- adoption.

At the market houses retailers were selling freshly gathered eggs for 44 cents a dozen, and storage from 28c to 38c.

FEAR SENT RUTH HARLEY TO INSTANTANEOUS DEATH ___ SHE FEARED LIGHTNING AND IT KILLED HER ___ She Arose From Her Own Bed To Go To Her Mother and As She Passed the Chimney a Bolt Came Down and Slew Her - Parent's Arm Paralyzed When He Picked Up The Child's Body Fear of lightning sent Ruth Harley, aged 11, to her death at her home in North Kingsville. An electrical storm of great severity passed over this section between midnight and 2 o'clock this morning. Ruth Harley had a mortal fear of lightning, and she lay in her bed shaking with fright until she could no longer control herself. She arose from her bed and started to go to her mother for the fancied security of companionship. In obeying this impulse to seek safety in her mother's arms, she seemed to be moved by one of those mysterious influences which are supposed to produce a series of necessitating causes which infallibly bring certain things to pass. If the girl had remained in bed doubtless she would have escaped harm. But terror drove her forth to meet the death she feared. The attending circumstances invest the tragic affair with peculiar features and add an element which appears to support the doctrine of the fatalists. As the girl was groping her way along the wall in the darkness, on her way to her mother's room, she touched a chimney in her room. As if Fate had been awaiting the opportunity which it knew would come, the instant the girl touched the chimney, a bolt of lightning came down the structure killing her instantly. The flash, the accompanying crash of thunder, the shock to the house and the sound of the falling of his daughter to the floor, brought Mr. Harley instantly to his feet, and he rushed into the adjoining room and found the prostrate body. Clasping his daughter's inanimate form in his arms, Mr. Harley attempted to lift it from the floor, but the lfieless body was still so charged with the electric fluid which had quenched the vital spark that Mr. Harley received a shock that partially paralyzed one of his arms for several hours, nor has he yet fully recovered his normal condition. The tragic affair almost prostrated the stricken parents and it shocked the entire community. Mr. Harley is a truck gardener who resides on Lake street just north of the Lake Shore track.
