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. *********************************************************************** A WEE TINY MITE ___ Erie Baby Weighs But Fifteen Ounces And Measures But Eleen Inches in Length. __ One of the smallest babies ever born in this section of the country arrived yesterday morning when the stork left a tiny daughter at the home of Mr. and Mrs. O. B. Clarke, West Fifteenth street, Erie. The little one weighs only fifteen ounces, and is about eleven inches long, but all the features are perfectly formed. The arms and legs are so tiny that a wedding ring can be slipped over their full length. The mite's head is about the size of a peach. The attending physician gave it as his opinion that the child would not survive more than three or four days. However, nourishment has been given the baby, and Mr. Clarke thinks it will live. The Clarkes have three other children, and the new baby has been christened Josephine Frances.

Fairs are being held throughout the length and breadth of the land. Everyone is planning on attending some one or two of these annual fall festivals, when all manner of sports and entertainments are to be enjoyed. The Ashtabula County Fair, to which Conneaut people flock by the hundreds each year, will be held the coming week, opening on Tuesday and closing on Thursday. Many special features have been arranged for and all those entertainments which have been enjoyed in the past are promised by the fair management.

BURGLARS GET BIG HAUL FROM HARBOR STORE ___ Large Quantity of Canned Goods, Postage Stamps and Other Articles Are Looted. ___ Burglars last night broke into the Broad street store of John Holka and helped themselves to such a quantity of goods that very probably took the plunder away in a wagon. Many dozens of cans of salmon, apricots, peaches, beans, sardines and other delicacies were looted, besides gloves, socks, pens, postcards, cigars and smoking tobaccos. Over a hundred postcards are also missing this morning, besides four dollars worth of postage stamps, and two dollars in small change. The thieves evidently entered through a front window and got away without leaving a trace behind them. The loss will approximate several hundred dollars. FORTUNE-LOOMIS NUPTIALS WERE PRETTILY SOLEMNIZED ___ Wedding Occurred at Bride's Parents' Home at 7:30 - Couple Made "Clever" Getaway." ___ Prominent social happenings of October, 1912, will include the wedding of Miss Ruby Laverne Loomis to John A. Fortune, which occurred Wednesday evening at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Loomis, 181 Washington street. The appointments of the wedding were characterized by simplicity, but with the utmost prettiness. At 7:30 o'clock with Miss Pauline Brown presiding at the piano, playing Mendelssohn's wedding march, the couple took their places beneath an artistic bower of ferns and palms, fashioned in a corner of the parlor. Rev. James H. Rankin, pastor of the Congregational church, performed the ceremony, using the ring service. The bride wore her smart traveling suit of navy blue serge. The decorative design in the living room was carried out richly in red and white, salvia used in profusion giving a brilliant effect. In the dining room, the plan was developed in yellow and white, with yellow chrysanthemums for the floral touches. After the ceremony, the bride and groom received the hearty congratulations of the assembled relatives and intimate friends, about thirty in all. At 8:00 o'clock an elaborate wedding supper was served, covers at the bride's table being laid for the bride and groom, the former's parents, Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Loomis, the groom's parents, Mr. and Mrs. George Fortune, and Rev. and Mrs. Rankin. Rosa Heyer catered and the Misses Jessie Benjamin, Lois Chapman and Ruth Dorman made a corps of graceful waitresses. Mr. and Mrs. Fortune left on Nickel Plate train No. 1 this morning for Cleveland, where they will spend the day, leaving tonight for Battle Creek, Mich., to spend several days with Mr. and Mrs. Jim Fortune, the former a brother of the groom. Announcements read "At home after November first, at 305 Cleveland court." Their home has been newly and attractively furnished throughout, and contains almost countless reminders in the way of gifts of the best wishes of their many friends and family connections. Those present at the wedding from away were Mr. and Mrs. Ray Knowlten of Ashtabula, Mr. and Mrs. Wynn Wood and son Will of Omaha, Neb., Mr. and Mrs. G. H. Loomis, grandparents of the bride, of Jefferson, Jim Fortune of Battle Creek, Mich., and Niel Fortune of Mansfield. The new Mrs. Fortune has been a resident of this city for several years, the family coming here from Jefferson. Conneaut has no daughter who is more widely or sincerely liked. For the past four years she has been employed in the Arvine Pelton company store. Mr. Fortune is connected with the Mitchell Hardware company. He is the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. George Fortune and by his upright estimable qualities has won a host of friends. The friends of the bride and groom who were planning on giving them a rousing "send-off" last night, were completely foiled. Mr. Loomis took the couple in a cab to the Lake Shore station, the crowd following, and after driving about in that vicinity, drove them back up Broad street, stopping above the Nickel Plate crossing to let the couple out. They slipped across lots to their own home, where they stayed until their train this morning. The pursuers did not see the brief stop made by the carriage, and followed it closely on its misleading trip clear to Amboy, thinking the couple would board a P. & O. car. The idea of the couple being at their own home never occurred to the outwitted crowd. FIRST SNOWFALL CAME LATER THAN USUAL The snowfall of this morning lent a touch of real winter to the aspect of the city, and visions of the now fast approaching Christmas were most firmly brought to mind. It is interesting to note that the first real snow of the season comes this year at a later date than for several years past, the old lady with the goose feathers showering her compliments last fall on October 27th, in 1913 on October 21st, 1912 on November 2nd, and in 1911 on October 17th. It is stated that this winter, while not exceptionally severe, will be more rigorous than has been the case for several seasons past. JASKALEK - GALINSKY WEDDING JUNE FIRST A prettily appointed wedding, of interest to a great many Conneaut people, took place in Cleveland on Tuesday, June first, at noon, when Miss Elsie Jaskalek, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas.

ANN PLATT DIED AFTER LINGERING ILLNESS Mrs. Ann Platt who for the past two years has been a great sufferer, passed away at her home, 724 Clark street, North Conneaut, Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock. Though she had been ill for that length of time, she did not take to her bed until two weeks ago last Saturday, and for the past week she had been unconscious most of the time.

Reed and Mrs. George Clark of Kalamazoo, Mich., Mrs. E. J. Smith, Clark street, and Mrs. G. W. Haig, North Center street.

She was one of the pioneers of Summerhill township and spent her entire life in the vicinity where she now lives. She was born during the term of President James Madison, and she has lived to see no less than 23 administrations come and go, and during all of these years her health has stood the test of time well and she is today, to all outward appearance, as hale and hearty as many a person 25 years her junior.

Benjamin, when Miss Elsie Wheeler of Monroe became the bride of Harry Strock of Denmark, a young law student.

THE HALLS IN MIDST OF DAYATON FLOOD ESCAPE Mrs. Oliver Murphy of the east side received word this morning from her brother, Fred Hall, of Dayton, that he and his wife and daughter were safe. Their home is in the heart of the district where the flood was deepest, and much anxiety was felt by local relatives and friends, of whom the Halls have many as they are former residents of this city.

All efforts to establish an identity proved futile. The North East authorities have sent the body of Eugene Collins to friends at Braddock, Pa. Collins was found dead on the Nickel Plate tracks, east of Northeast on Wednesday morning. Seven bodies of supposed car riders have been found within a distance of seventy miles during the past few months, leading police and railroad detectives to believe that an organized gang of robbers is working through the section, robbing car riders and throwing them from moving trains. ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** Mrs. Herbert Hicks entertained the Ladies' Aid society of the Christian church at Hammond's Corners on Thursday at her home in East Monroe.

The mercury stood at one degree below in the downtown district at seven o'clock this morning, and in the Chicago suburbs, the temperature ranged from three to five degrees below. ****************************************** With the city swept by a thirty-five mile wind, and with an almost continuous though light snowfall being swirled about the streets, citizens of Conneaut for the last twenty-four hours have been practically stormbound. Owing to the high wind, the cold was perhaps felt more keenly last night than has been the case during the present winter, though the thermometer registered nothing very much out of the way. At no time during the last sixteen hours has the mercury gone below two degrees under zero. Weather bureau officials at Cleveland stated this afternoon that more moderate weather would probably maintain, commencing with tonight, constantly rising temperatures. This will be good news for local peach growers, who were this morning anxiously awaiting confirmation of the report that a real cold spell was in prospect, with the temperature reaching ten degrees below or more. HEAVY DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE REAL COLD SNAP ___ Indications Are Early Reports Were Not Exaggerated - Wide Territory Struck. ___ (June 1915 written in pencil here) Since Wednesday night's cold snap, continuous reports are coming to hand of the great damage which has been caused to young vegetation through the ravages of Jack Frost seem to be a great extent limited to Northeastern Ohio and Northwestern Pennsylvania. The damage to the strawberry crop seems to be quite extensive. Local growers complain that many of the plants have been ruined, though the damage in actual figures has not yet been estimated, and ripening fruit has been lost. At Stoneboro, Pa., the crop was nearly entirely destroyed, the loss being approximately $25,000. At Ashtabula growers estimate they will lose sixty per cent of the grapes and seventy-five per cent of the strawberries, while potatoes and other crops are badly damaged. In the Youngstown district, farmers report that even the corn which had started to grow in the fields was ruined, while clover fields were left black and flattened as though scorched with heat. Local losses, although severe, are expected to be quite as bad as was first anticipated. The damage will udoubtedly be heavy. Tomato, and strawberry plants seem to be the worst sufferers. Beans, lettuce and some of the other salads, even, and other home garden crops have been badly damaged. PIERPONT MAIL CARRIER, I. SIMONS, LOST HAND ___ Wrist Was Caught In Slack of Rope From Gasoline Engine Used in Hauling Load. __ Isaac Simons, one of Pierpont's rural mail carriers, living just south of the Pioneer picnic grounds, had a very serious accident Tuesday evening losing his right hand at the wrist and breaking his arm below the elbow. He was using his gasoline engine and pulleys to get pumpkins up overhead in his barn and in some way he got his hand caught in the slack rope while his hired man was up in the barn. Dr. Lewis of Pierpont was called. FIVE BROTHERS TOGETHER For the first time in seventeen years, the five sons of Mr. and Mrs. George Fortune, Sr., were together in their home yesterday. The brothers who reside away, came to the city for the marriage of John Fortune to Miss Ruby Loomis last evening. In the afternoon a picture of the father and five sons were taken in a group. Jim Fortune resides in Battle Creek, Mich., Niel in Mansfield, and Will, George, Jr. and John in this city. The two sisters, Mrs. Ray Knowlton of Ashtabula and Mrs. Wynn Wood of Omaha, Neb., were also here. OBITUARY Florence Harvey Written in loving remembrance of Florence Harvey, who was born April 29, 1902, and died May 30th, 1913. Her mother died one year ago, leaving three children, of whom Florence was the youngest. The funeral was held at her father's home June 1st and was largely attended. Rev. Sleppy preached a sermon full of comforting thoughts to the sorrowing friends, and Mrs. C. White sang two beautiful solos. Burial was made in East Conneaut beside the mother. "Our loved one is gone, the dear patient head, Now rests in its casket alone with the dead. The shadows of life with their joy and their pain Are over, yet her legacy of love wll remain. And the one who was the guide of her and love May also be ours and we may meet her above. In that bright land where partings never come, Again be united in that heavenly home." HEAVY RAINFALL FLOODED RAILWAY TRACK AND CITY STREETS - MUCH DAMAGE IN VICINITY OF GIRARD AND ELSEWHERE Damage wrought by last night's storm was quite severe east of this city the vicinity of Girard suffering most. There the abutments to the Fiske bridge near North Girard, were undermined and two smaller bridges in the township were washed away from their underpinnings. The C. & E. traction line had to transfer passengers well west of Springfield because one of its bridges was endangered after the first car came through this morning. The lowlands were inundated and various kinds of damages suffered as the result of the heavy rainfall which near approached a cloudburst. The section of low country south of Ashtabula was also flooded and caused some little loss to the farmers of the section. The tracks of the P. & O. company were flooded between Ashtabula and Jefferson and cars were unable to get through today during early morning hours. Locally the storm was severe, but did not bring great inconvenience or property damage. The streets were overflowed during the night and for a few hours this morning, but the storm sewers soon carried the waters away. The creek rose to unwonted proportions throughout the night but insofar as we have been able to learn no damage resulted. The storm was one of the worst for many months and probably more rain fell steadily for several hours than would seem possible. A conservative estimate of the rainfall places it at four inches. The local telephone company's lines in the west end of the city were out of commission for several hours this morning. BRENK - RICKARD A quiet but very pretty wedding occurred at the Baptist parsonage in Pierpont Saturday evening at 6 o'clock, when Miss Reta Rickard became the bride of George J. Brenk, Jr., of this city. The Rev. R. M. Safford officiated. The couple was accompanied by the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Rickard of Pierpont. Mr. Brenk has been a resident of this city for several years, while his bride is well known both in Pierpont and Conneaut. Both are excellent young people and their many friends will be pleased to learn of this happy event. They were guests in the Rickard home Sunday and returned Monday to this city where they will make their home. BABE'S DEATH IS CAUSED BY FATHER'S ACT __ Parent in Rage Attacks Six-Months-Old Infant, Death Resulting. ___ Humane Agent Brings About Father's Arrest ___ Harry Stevens of North Conneaut is Found Guilty of Assault; Sent to Jail and Fined - Wife Testifies Against Him. ___ For committing an assault of a particularly reprehensible and brutal character upon his six-months-old baby girl, resulting in the death of the mite on June 2nd, from concussion of the brain, Harry Stevens, of 500 Whitney road, was today committed to the county jail for sixty days and in addition ordered to pay a fine of $100. A story was at first circulated that the tot had in some way fallen from its high chair and bitten the end of its tongue off, as well as suffering internal injuries and in perfect good faith the News-Herald some few days ago published the story. Humane Officer Cain, however, succeeded in obtaining evidence that the facts had been grossly distorted and on making a thorough investigation into the case, had no hesitation in causing the arrest of the heartless father. The exact details of the assault, to which Stevens today pleaded guilty, will probably never be known, but it has come to light that the brutal parent would fly into a rage when the little babe cried and on the present occasion to stop the wailing rammed a feeding bottle in the child's mouth which no doubt caused the injury to the tongue and in other ways ill-used it so that Dr. B. M. Tower, who was called in to attend the case was compelled to ascribe the cause of death to concussion of the brain. Stevens, who seems an arrant coward, as well as bully, exhibited extreme signs of fright when arrested by Constable Helmer and bawled and cried when he was put in the city jail; but his attitude had no effect upon Judge Willoughby, who described the case as one of the most heartless in his experience. It is quite expected that the matter will not end here, and that county officials may take the case in hand, and if such proves to be the case, the defendant will be assured of very little sympathy. Judge Willoughby did not take full advantage of the provisions of the law in sentencing Stevens to jail and in assessing the fine. The guilty man was taken to Jefferson this afternoon by Sheriff Burlingame. A feature of the case was the testimony of the wife of the accused man and mother of the dead babe who testified for the prosecution. Her parents came today, it is understood and will take their almost prostrated daughter to their home near Albion. TWAS A MIGHTY COLD JUNE 56 YEARS AGO The cold weather which now appears to be terminating is not the coldest ever experienced during the month of June, as the following will attest. It has been just fifty-six years ago this past week when the memorable June frost occurred. With it came the destruction of nearly all of the crops in the country. Wheat was a total failure as a result of the frost and all of the garden truck except those plants of the hardier type were completely destroyed. Many of the older residents of this community will distinctly recall the extreme high prices that the various farm products brought in that year and how exceedingly high in price all of the garden products were that year. The weather that year was extremely cold and fire in the stoves throughout the summer was necessary. Many people were forced to put on heavier clothes to protect them from the severe cold. That year all crops were an utter failure. Garden trucks attained the highest price ever recorded. Wheat rose to the surprising price of $5 a bushel and a near flour famine existed throughout the states. It was feared by many people that owing to the extremely cold weather conditions which prevailed during most of this month, that a similar destruction of crops might occur this year, but the weather is now warming up and such will not be the case. MRS. J. L. ROBERTSON CALLED TO THE BEYOND ___ Well Known Lady of Kelloggsville Passed Away After a Brief Illness - Funeral Monday. ___ A summons to the Great Beyond came quite suddenly to a very estimable lady of Kelloggsville, when Mrs. J. L. Robertson succumbed last Saturday to an attack of acute indigestion. The Robertsons had been at their Kelloggsville home but the past two months. They were one time residents of Bushnell and afterwards went to Kelloggsville, going from there to Canton, Ohio, which had before been their home for a number of years. They had returned to Kelloggsville this fall to spend their declining years. Mrs. Robertson was taken suddenly ill last Wednesday and died early Saturday morning. The funeral was held Monday at the late home, Rev. Dr. Brown, pastor of the Kelloggsville Methodist church officiating. Many friends attended to pay a last respect to a beautiful woman. Besides the husband, there survive six daughters and three sons, Mrs. C. L. Stockhouse of Minerva; James, of Cincinnati; Miss Olive, Mrs. J. E. Sell, Burt, Max and Mrs. A. Householder of Canton; Mrs. Dr. Walker of Kelloggsville; and Mrs. W. A. Kimball, of Clark Corners. Mrs. Robertson was 68 years of age. MRS.

COLBY PASSED AWAY MONDAY ___ A Lovely Character Was Called When This Estimable Woman Died - Funeral Thursday. ___ Mrs. Nettie Olds Colby, aged 62, beloved wife of Fernando C. Colby, died at the family home in the suburbs of the city, Monday afternoon after an illness of two weeks from grippe and pneumonia. Nettie Olds was the daughter of John and Harriet Olds of East Conneaut, the father having died some years ago, and the aged mother surviving. Two brothers, Will and Alfred, also survive her. Nettie Olds was born on the Olds homestead in East Conneaut sixty-two years ago last Saturday, and she lived on the Colby homestead in Monroe. About twenty-three years ago they built the fine home south of the city and have since resided there. To this union one daughter, Harriet, was born. She grew to young womanhood and died about fifteen years ago, her death causing to fall upon the parents a cloud of sorrow which never completely lifted. Mrs. Colby was a lovely character. Her home life was beautiful and her friendships were cemented by sweetness and faithfulness. Mrs. Colby had very many friends, although she was not one who sought to put herself forward, and her death is the source of sorrow to all who knew her. Funeral services will be held at the family home on Thursday at 1 p. m., Rev. A. E. Kemp, pastor of the Christian church, officiating. Interment will be made in the city cemetery by the side of the daughter. MRS. ELIZABETH BREWSTER DIES IN CLEVELAND ___ Mrs. Elizabeth Brewster, aged 38, daughter of Mrs. D. B.

Another son was drowned about one year ago. The funeral arrangements have not been made. TEAM KILLED BY FAST TRAIN; DRIVER ESCAPES ___ Dorset Man Drove Onto N. Y. C. Tracks Directly In Front of Train - A Most Miraculous Escape. ___ Merrill Haines, 18, of Dorset, had a narrow escape from instant death yesterday as he will probably ever have when the wagon and team he was driving over the track south of the railroad station at Dorset was struck by a passenger train. The train cut the team bodily away from the wagon, which was not touched, missing Haines, who was sitting in front, by a hair's breadth. The horses were carried about seventy feet, one being killed instantly, and the other being so severely injured that it was shot at the first opportunity. Haines had a load of milk on the wagon, and heard the alarm bell ringing as he approached the crossing. He saw a freight some distance down the track switching, and thinking the bell called his attention to that, kept his eyes on it while he crossed the track. In this way he did not see the passenger train approaching from the opposite direction, the noise of its oncoming being drowned by the snorting of the freight engine. The shock of the impact when the locomotive struck the team was sufficient to throw Haines a distance of two rods, and he sustained severe bruises and cuts. Otherwise, although he is detained in the Custard hospital, he is not thought to be injured. DR. MABELLE WATSON MARRIED YESTERDAY The many friends of the bride in this city will be surprised by the news of the marriage of Dr. Mabelle Watson of Ashtabula to Charles E. Gilbert of Cleveland. The wedding was solemnized yesterday afternoon at three o'clock, in the home of the bride's brother, M. G. Spaulding, Rev. Creetus A. Dowell officiating. Immediately after the ceremony, Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert left on an extended wedding trip in the Adirondacks and will be at home to their friends at 245 Northfield street, East Cleveland, after September 1. ATTENDANCE AT PIONEER PICNIC LARGEST EVER ___ Automobiles Superseding the Horse Among the Farmers -Movie and Carnival Attractions Added Much to List of Entertaining Features. __ In speaking of the Pioneer picnic which was held yesterday at Russell's grove, Pierpont, those who attended from this city, state that never before in the history of the annual affairs, has there been such a large attendance at the grove. This was due, not only to the fine weather but also to the number of new attractions added this year and to the wide popularity gained by the picnic in years previous. In addition to the two "movie" shows which were new innovations this year, several of the shows belonging to the carnival which was supposed to have been in this city this week, were on the grounds. One feature which dispelled the conjecture that automobiles were playthings of city folk, was the fact that farmers for miles around with cars representing almost every make, drove to the picnic with their families. One spot that in years before had been devoted to the hitching of horses, was this year lined with automobiles. The machines, however, have not altogether obiliterated the horse and carriage for there were also thousands of these to be seen. One business man in this city stated that were all the carriages and machines put into a line they would almost reach from here to Pierpont. MR. AND MRS. BELDING HAVE A SIX POUND DAUGHTER The class baby of the class of 1912 and '13 made its arrival this morning at Grace hospital. The baby is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Belding, Jr., and has been named Margaret Lucille. Mrs. Belding was formerly Miss Edith Powell of the class of '12 and Alva Belding was a member of the class of '13. "We take off our hats to you, Miss Margaret," is the feeling of the members of these classes today. A 70 MILE GALE DOING DAMAGE ___ Trees and Windows Broken, Signs Torn Loose and Considerable Damage Done South and West of This City. ___ A seventy mile gale this morning broke down trees and wrecked its will on movable articles in the city. There was some excitement at the corner of Main and Broad street, the wind tearing loose from its stays the large sign of the Red Star cigar store. The sign, which hangs across the sidewalk on Main Street, was twisted around and slammed against the building. It hangs about twelve feet in the air and falling would have smashed. Guys were fastened about the sign before it broke loose entirely and it was made temporarily fast in place. Later, the high gale broke one of the big plate glass windows in front of the A. W. Pelton company store on Main street. Minor damage was done in various parts of the city. South of here the wind storm was severe. The home of W. H. Weaver, on the Center road, was damaged considerably. The porch was torn off the house, the chimney was blown off and the woodshed and several small outbuildings were wrecked. Telepone wires are somewhat mixed and information is meager. It is reported that the trolley lines west of Ashtabula were blown down this morning and that there is not traffic between Ashtabula and Geneva. STATE LINE * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Those from a distance to attend the funeral of little Nellie Taft on Saturday were Joe Fails and daughter, Allie, of Plymouth, Ohio. They remained with the former's brother G. M. Fails, until Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Joe Webster and little son of Conneaut, Mrs. Lovisa Fails of Unionville, Ollie Fails from near Erie, stopped a few hours at the home of Mr. and Mrs. G. M. Fails. Harry Fails from south of Conneaut, remained until Sunday with his parents. WEDDED IN JEFFERSON Miss Caroline R. Miller of this city and Dell Lawrence, a Pierpont farmer, were united in marriage Monday at the office of Probate Judge Babcock in Jefferson. Rev. J. A. Goodrich, pastor of the Congregational church, performed the ceremony. DR. TUFTS' PARENTS IN MIDST OF FLOODS Dr. and Mrs. J. F. Tufts, who have been feeling the keenest anxiety during the past week in regard to the safety of the parents of the former, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Tufts, and his sister of Loveland, O., received word by both wire and letter yesterday that they were safe, but had met with very heavy losses. Loveland is situated on the Little Miami river, about 23 miles north of Cincinnati, and from last Tuesday night until almost the present time communication has been cut off. Mr. Tufts wrote that the entire business section had been wiped out by the flood, including their jewelry store, of the stock of which nothing was saved. The water reached the highest point in the memory of the residents, being six feet higher than it was in 1897, when it reached the highest mark ever remembered. The water came up in the first story of the Tufts' home, and their household effects are practically ruined. Dr. and Mrs. Tufts had been visiting his parents since the 13th of the month, only leaving for Conneaut on Monday, the day before the flood. They had fully intended to wait until Tuesday, and if they had done so, they undoubtedly would have been in Loveland yet. MRS. HARRY HILL DIED CHRISTMAS MORNING ___ Mrs. Harry Hill died at the family home, 561 Harbor street, Wednesday morning at 5:30 o'clock, from the effects of an operation undergone several weeks ago. Had she lived until May first, she would have been twenty-five years of age. A little baby daughter one and a half years old survives besides the husband. Also her parents and three sisters and four brothers, all of whom live at or near Harrisville, Pa., save one sister, who made her home with the Hills. The funeral will be held at the late home Friday morning at 10 o'clock. Burial will be in the Glenwood cemetery.

KILLED AT WALLACE JCT. ___ Popular Young Man Met Instant Death Yesterday Morning. CRUSHED BETWEEN CARS ___ Son of Prominent Family And Was an Exemplary Young Man - Leaves Young Wife and Three-Year-Old Daughter. ___ Edward Tinney, Jr., one of the best known and best liked of the young railroad men in this city, was instantly killed at eight o'clock Sunday morning. A pang of sorrow o'erspread the community as the word went about letting it be known that the popular young man had met his death while in the performance of his duty. Sorrow was more keen, perhaps, in those homes from which the wage-earners go out to duty on the road. To many the dangers of life on the rail was the more keenly felt; made doubly mindful of the fact that the scene of yesterday's tragedy, Wallace Junction, has not dealt kindly with the Nickel Plate men. Grief of the deepest degree entered the homes and struck down wife, father, mother and brothers when the word came telling of the accident which robbed them of one near and dear. No words of sympathy can assauge the wound caused by the tidings. The accident yesterday occurred while the train crew of which Edward Tinney was a member was engaged in switching cars at the junction. John Logue, another popular and efficient Nickel Plate man was conductor. A switch not tightly latched or the riding of a car over the switch-points sent a string of cars, on which the young brakeman was riding, into the side of his train. He was caught between the cars as they came together and crushed. Death is believed to have been instantaneous. The body was brought to the home here shortly and prepared for burial. Funeral services will be held Tuesday at 8:30, central, 9:30 eastern time, from St. Mary's church. Burial will be made in St. Joseph's cemetery. The young man was the son of former Chief of Police and Mrs. E. A. Tinney, Sr. Surviving also are the young wife and a baby daughter three years of age. Four brothers are young men well known throughout the city. They are Dexter, who returned home this morning from Chicago, summoned by the news of his brother's death; John, who is aboard the U. S. S. Delaware of the Atlantic fleet; Henry and Paul , at home. The young man was one of exemplary habits, fond of home and his family, an earnest youth, glad of the opportunity to labor for his loved ones, and honor- able in his dealings with his fellow-men. He had resided here throughout his life and counted his friends by the number of his acquaintancees. He has no enemies. The sudden tidings which came to the two families telling of the death of husband and son was most severe. The young wife, widowed in a trice is under the care of a physician. The father was first told of an accident as he came from church. Hastening homeward, he was met by friends and when told of the full portund of the accident fainted on the side-walk. The mother is quite beside herself in her grief. The sympathy of many friends goes out to them. EDWARD TINNEY'S FUNERAL TODAY Over Three Hundred Friends and Relatives Attent Obsequies This Morning. __ Funeral Was One of the Largest Held In This City for Some Time --John Tinney, a Brother, Arrived Home Last Evening from Norfolk, Va. ___ The popularity and esteem in which Edward Tinney, Jr., was regarded by his many friends was forcibly shown this morning, when the last rites were observed at St. Mary's church. The church was filled to capacity with sorowing friends and relatives from Cleveland, Erie, Bellevue, Ashtabula and Saginaw, Mich., and especially prominent among these were the railroad men with whom he has been associated the greater part of his life. John Tinney, a brother of the deceased, who is a midshipman on the U. S. S. Delaware, was not expected to be able to attend, however after obtain-ing special leave, arrived in this city last evening from Norfolk, Va., where his boat is stationed. Father Hefferman delviered a most beautiful address and during the services, Miss Mayme O'Connor sang "Show me the way, Oh Father," in a most effective manner. Special mention should be made of the beautiful floral tributes which were sent from friends and organizations. Individual bouquets were many and especially pretty were the number of large pieces. Following the services the procesion containing several carriages and twice as many automobiles made its way to St. Joseph's cemetery where interment was made. Wm. Corrigan, Thomas Gaffney, Raymond Hyland, John Logue, Bert Williams and Jas. Nolan, all intimate friends of the deceased acted as pall bearers. Among those from out of the city who attended were Mr. and Mrs. Terrence Quinn and Miss Anna Quinn of Erie, Mrs. J. J. Coleman, of Corapolis, Mrs. Wm. Gould and son, Albert of Petrolia and Arthur Keeler of Saginaw, Mich. LIST - PUTNAM WEDDING A VERY PRETTY AFFAIR ___ Chestnut Crest the Scene of A Happy Nuptial Event Which Was Celebrated Yesterday. ___ Dignified in it simplicity and beautified by artistic surroundings, the wedding of Mr. Karl List and Miss Eppie May Putnam at Chestnut Crest at high noon Wednesday was ceremonially conducted in the presence of about sixty of the relatives and near friends of the contracting parties. Rev. R. H. Fairburn, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church, tied the nuptial knot, the St. Paul's ring ceremony being rendered exceptionally impressive by the celebrant clergyman. The affair was informal in accessory incidents. The bride-to-be and the prospective bridegroom and their attendants mingled with the guests until the hour appointed for the ceremony arrived, and they then took their places in front of the window seat in the living room and the rites were solemnized. Miss Allie Culp acted as bridesmaid and Walter E. Putnam, brother of the bride, attended the groom as best man. During the ceremony, Miss Lola List of Massilon, sister to the groom, played, softly on the piano, an appropriate selection. The bride was handsomely attired in a white voile and the bridesmaind wore a beautiful yellow gown of crepe-de-chine. Each wore a corsage bouquet of roses; the decoration of the entire bungalow carrying out the same color scheme in white and yellow, chrysanthemums and roses being used in the scheme and autumn leaves adding a seasonable touch to the decorations. After the ceremony and felicitations, the guests repaired to the lower floor, where refreshments were served in the beautifully decorated dining room, den and enclosed porch. The bride's table was set in the dining room, and it was attractively decorated with white roses and yellow ribbons. Over the center was a large gold basket filled with white roses, and tied with a huge yellow bow. The favors were tiny gold slippers filled with rice, while little gold baskets at each plate contained the nuts. At the bride's table were seated the bride and groom, Mr. and Mrs. C. S. Putnam, Miss Allie Culp, W. E. Putnam, Miss Lola List, Miss May List, Rev. R. H. Fairburn and Mrs. Phil Smith. The other guests seated at small tables handsomely decorated and delicious refreshments were served in courses. Mrs. Jessie Stoke was caterer and she was assisted in serving by the Misses Cornelia Curtiss, Elizabeth Stines, Helen Marcy, Deweese Wilcox, Harriet Stoke. Miss Jennie Gove and Miss Ednah Horton served at the bride's table, both being cousins of the bride. The favors were gold baskets. As the guests returned to the living room large baskets of paper rose petals were waiting and the bridal party were given the usual shower. As the guests departed, each was presented with a small box containing a piece of the wedding cake. The wedding presents were numerous, rich and beautiful, and in addition to the other gifts the young couple were recipients of cash to the amount of $500. After the wedding breakfast, the bride and bridegroom left on the Lake Shore train No. 44 for an eastern trip. The wedding was in all respects one of the prettiest ever held in this city. The new bungalow which the young people had erected in anticipation of their union, is a beautiful and artistic structure, and the tasteful decorative effects enhanced its attractiveness. The bungalow was completely furnished and equipped just as the couple will occupy it upon their return. The bride is the daughter of Postmaster and Mrs. Charles S. Putnam and for several years she has been a clerk in the post office and has a very wide circle of acquaintances and friends. Mr. List is a jeweler in the H. B. Kurtz store and is a young man of sterling merits and personality extremely popular. Mr. and Mrs. List will be at home at Chestnut Crest after December 1st.

SHEFIFF NABS ALLEGED THEIF ___ Monroe Store Burglar Believed to Have Been Taken Near Here by Burlingame and Beardsley. ___ Owing to the activity of Sheriff George Burling-ame and Deputy Sheriff Beardsley, the supposed thief who some ten days or more ago broke into the store of Wilkinson & Son, Monroe Center, and stole various articles, is believed to have been apprehended. Yesterday Steve Kohler, living about five miles southeast of here, near the state line, and said to have a bad previous record, was taken to Jefferson. Working upon clues they had received, the officers proceeded to Kohler's home, where upon learning their business, Kohler is alleged to have grasped hold of an axe.

A calf and a pig perished in the flames; while many farm implements, a new wagon, a buggy and tools, besides a large quantity of hay and grain were lost. A silo, erected inside the barn, was also destroyed. The blaze was an object of great excitement to passengers on interurban cars; the barn being situated almost directly south of the car barn.

Scramlin Died Late Wednesday At The Home of His Daughter. __ (1915 written in pencil here) Edwin G. Scramlin, aged and honored resident of East Conneaut, scholar and soldier, died on Wednesday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. A. E. Black, where he had been for the past few days since his condition made his care in his own home more difficult. His death was not wholly unexpected by relatives and friends. He was a veteran of the Civil war and was an honored member of the Custer Post No. 9, G. A. R. Edwin G. Scramlin was born in Laurens, Otsego county, N. Y., and moved to Erie county, Pa., when eleven years of age. In his childhood he was consecrated to the ministry and baptized in the Methodist church.

Freed was called and decided the horse would have to be done away with. MR. AND MRS. ALEX MARVINC CELEBRATE 65TH ANNIVERSARY For more years than it is granted most people to live, Mr. and Mrs. Alexander Marvin of the East Side have shared life's joys and sorrows, and yesterday surrounded by children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and other relatives, the remarkable couple celebrated the sixty-fifth anniversary of their wedding day. Miss Mary E. Darling and Alexander Marvin were united in marriage by Rev. Sullivan of Jefferson, June 10th, 1848, at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Darling, in Pierpont, where she had resided since she was seven years of age. The bride was in her seventeenth year when she was married, having been born in Massachusets, December 24, 1831. Mr. Marvin was five years her senior and he had been a resident of Pierpont for two years. He was born in Wolcottville, Ind., April 2nd, 1826. Mrs. Nancy Hoskins of this city, who is eighty-five years of age, is the only person who attended the wedding outside of the family, who is still living and she was in attendance at the celebration yesterday. Mrs. Marvin was one of nine children, eight of whom are still living. She was the eldest of seven girls and one of the two boys, James Darling, Jr., died only last year. The other brother O. C. Darling, of this city, who has been spending the winter in Florida, is expected to arrive home today. The six sisters are so widely scattered that it was impossible for them all to get here for yesterday. When James Darling died, it was the first break in the family circle to occur in twenty-eight years, the mother having died that many years before. The father's death occurred a number of years before that of his wife. Mr. Marvin has a brother and a sister living in Wolcottville, and there are a number of grand-children and great grandchildren residing there and in Ashtabula and Painesville. A reunion is being planned for July and the entire family will be together at that time. The celebration yesterday occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Marvin on Peach street, East Conneaut, with whom the "bride and groom" make their home. Until last April they resided at the old home in Pierpont, but as their son and his wife had recently moved to Conneaut, leaving the old people alone, it was thought best for them to come also. Besides the son and wife with whom they live, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin have two children surviving from a faimly of eight. They reside in Conneaut also - Charles and Fred Marvin. They, with their wives were present, besides Mr. and Mrs. Brantley Marvin, Mr. and Mrs. John Hannah, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Fisk and daughter, Pauline, Mr. and Mrs. Will Fuller and daughter, Ulala, Luella Marvin, Frank Marvin of Andover, Howard, George and Irene Marvin, Mr. and Mrs. Roy Darling and William Canada. Miss Pauline Fisk and Miss Ulala Fuller were representatives of the fourth generation. A sumptuous dinner was served at noon and the rest of the day was spent by the young folks in playing games, and by the older ones in talking over old times. It is hardly possible for people today to grasp the changes which have taken place since Mr. and Mrs. Marvin clasped their hands, and started out on life's journey together. They took a wedding trip, it is true, but it could hardly be compared with the bridal tours young couples of today enjoy. Instead of luxurious trains, motorcars, yachts, and other modern conveyances, young people of their day were happy to be able to take a trip with a horse and wagon - even covered buggies being almost unheard of at that time. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin, the morning after their wedding, climbed in a "crackey" wagon, in which two chairs had been fastened, and thus drove in state to Kinsman, where they spent a three days' honeymoon. They returned to Pierpont, where they lived until last April. They have not been separated, except during the year and a half Mr. Marvin served in the Civil war. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin are a very exceptional and remarkable couple. They both enjoy excellent health and are very active. Until they came to live with their son, Mrs. Marvin attended to all her own household duties, and day before yesterday, she made enough delicious salt-rising biscuits, which her family say no can make as she does, to feed the hungry gathering yesterday. The minds of both are wonderfully clear and bright and it is keen pleasure for their children and grandchildren to hear them tell tales of the days when they were young together. They come from families that are noted for their longevity, Mr. Marvin's grandfather, Seth Marvin, having lived to ghe age of 106. Mr. and Mrs. Marvin both say they do not feel a bit older than they did sixty-five years ago, and they are looking forward to many more years of happy life together.

SPRINGBORO WAS ALMOST RUINED __ Fire Almost Wiped Out the Borough Last Saturday - Loss Estimated at $100,000 - Sanitarium Was Saved. __ Springboro, Pa., twenty miles southeast of here, was almost wiped off the map Saturday night by the most destructive fire the little borough has ever experienced. The entire east side of Main street in the business section was completely destroyed. The fire was of unknown origin and started in the Wiard block. Before it could be stopped it had destroyed that block and those adjoining. Windows on the opposite side of the street were broken by the intense heat and a loss of nearly $100,000 was sustained. The burned structures were partially insured and all will be rebuilt. Fire companies from Albion were rushed to Springboro by a special Bessemer train and assisted the Springboro companies to get the fire under control. Otherwise the entire borough might have been fireswept entailing much greater property loss. The fire was threatening the Sheldon sanitarium on the west side of the street when the Albion fire department arrived and devoted its first energies to keeping the conflagration from seizing the sanitarium. Patients were removed to safe places when the sanitarium was threatened. OBITUARY Alexander Marvin born at Angelica, N. Y., April 2, 1826; died April 10, 1915, at the home of his son, Fred Marvin.

BIG SNOW STORM A real snow storm struck this section a year ago today. October 21, 1913. This date brings back to mind one of the keenest gales and snowstorms that we had had for years. Boats were held up, railroads had difficulty to get trains through, and telephone lines were affected. Rather a contrast to the weather of today, which resembled late July rather than the anniversary of one of the coldest and fiercest gales seen in the regions of the Great Lakes for many years. Just a year ago yesterday rain had fallen steadily all day long, changing at evening to a fierce gale that swept the lakes with frenzy. In the morning it had changed to a small blizzard, with snow and vivid flashes of lightning and loud crashes of thunder. Traffic on the C. & E. line was tied up until late in the forenoon, and the P. & O. got cars through at rather indefinite intervals. But that was a year ago. Today has been one of the nicest days that anyone could wish. Old Sol was at his best. LITTLE PIGGIES OF WEE BABE ARE FROZEN ___ The Most Desolate Yet Worthy Home Found in Geauga County. ___ Children's Feet Frost-Bitten - Family Lives for Weeks on Frozen Potatoes. ___ Chardon, O., Dec. 29 - When complaint was made that a man living in Williamsfield, a village near here, was neglecting his horse, investigation showed that his family was destitute. The man, his wife, and their six children, had been living on frozen potatoes five weeks. The baby, clad only in a gingham apron, had both her little feet frozen; and the feet of three other children are suffering from frost-bite. The man speaks seven languages, including Chinese, but says he is unable to work much owing to ill health. The entire village has come to the assitance of the family. NEW STRECTH OF DOUBLE TRACK ___ The Bessemer Lays and Opens New Track From Cunningham to Woods, Distance of About Four Miles. ___ The Bessemer railroad has placed in service a new stretch of double track which will greatly assist in the handling of trains on the south end of the road. The new track is laid from Cunningham to Woods, a distance of about four miles. The stretch of track was a difficult one to construct and has proved a very expensive improvement, as many men have been working on the improvement for the past two years. Business on the Bessemer is at high tide at present, more ore being sent over the road than at any time in the history of the road. In addition to the heavy increase in business in other branches of the freight business, especially in coal, which is also making a record at present. An ore train is sent out to Albion every forty-five mintues to keep the orders filled for the mills in the Pittsburgh district, and present indications are that the heavy business will continue all through the season and that the ore record that the road holds will be beaten by many thousands of tons.

GIRLS ENJOYED SLEIGHRIDE LAST EVENING After the store closed last evening the girls of the Woolworth store or the N. L. D. club were in a sleigh to the home of Miss Letha Laird in Farnham. The long ride in the cold was sufficient to whet the appetities of the girls to the highest degree, and the hot supper served by Mrs. Laird was certainly a welcome sight to the hungry crowd. After partaking of the glorious feast, the remainder of the evening was spent informally. Various games and interesting contests were introduced and music also played an important part in the success of the evening. The return home was made without mishap and the girls expressed themselves as having spent one of the best times ever. The Misses Mary Connell, Letha Laird, Blanche Hicks, Jennie Strangeway, Grace Johnson, Ruby Matthews, Ethel Butlingham and Dorothy Judd made up the party. THADDEUS E. HOYT DIED ON SUNDAY __ One of the Leaders of the County Bar And a Prominent and Highly Esteemed Citizen Called By Death. __ Hon. Thaddeus E. Hoyt died at his home in Ashtabula Sunday night. He is survived by a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Dr. Raymond Kelley of Ashtabula. Judge Hoyt's health and been failing for some time. Recently he was compelled to relinquish his practice; but his friends had no apprehension of his early demise. The news of Judge Hoyt's death was slow in gaining circulation and it was not generally known until last night. Court at Jefferson adjourns early Wednesday in honor of Judge Hoyt's memory, in order to give the members of the bar an opportunity to attend the funeral. Thaddeus E. Hoyt was one of the leaders of Ashtabula county bar and his mental powers and strong personality made him one of the most prominent of the county's citizens and he was known throughout the state. He was recognized as the foremost Democrat in this section, an astute politician, an able lawyer and a wise counsellor. He was a veteran of the Civil War and his interest in the welfare of the surviving old boys of that conflict was unflagging. He enlisted as a private in the 29th Ohio Volunteer infantry in 1861 and he served to the close of the war, and was a lieutenant in command of a company when he was discharged. Judge Hoyt graduted from Western Reserve University, and went from Rock Creek to Jefferson to study law in the office of Woodbury & Ruggles. He was admitted to the bar in 1871, a short time after A. M. Cox of Conneaut was admitted. He did not begin practice in this county, but in Port Washington, Wis., where he married and after a year of practice he was elected prosecuting attorney of the county, serving one year. At that time there was but one other lawyer in the county. Judge Hoyt returned to Ashtabula county in 1876 and since then he has been indentified with many of the most important cases in litigation before the courts. He was known as a hard working and pains- taking lawyer and an excellent legal advisor. He was appointed common pleas judge by Governor Hoadley, and three years ago Governor Harmon appointed him circuit judge, but he supreme court sustained the appointment of Judge W. S. Metcalf by Govervor Harris. Judge Hoyt served for a time as city solicitor of Ashtabula and his ability and influence in his party made him a candidate for congress and for lieutenant governor, but the overwhelming Republican majority in the Nineteenth district prevented his election. Judge Hoyt was 69 years old at the time of his death. He filled a conspicuous and honorable place in the activities of the county and was held in high esteem by his contemporaries. Had fortune cast his lines in a section in which his party dominated, there is no doubt that he would have risen to high official station. He had a fine mind, rather than a great mentality, and won great success at the bar. The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock.

A great many friends here will be pained when they learn of her death early today. So late as Monday she was about the streets here and met many former friends and schoolmates. She then appeared in good spirits and not in feeble health, yet before entering the hospital she seemed to evince a fear of the ultimate result of the operation, so serious was its nature. Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler had but three weeks ago returned from California, where they were the guests of her parents for four months. The Grueys removed from Conneaut to Los Angeles several years ago. There besides parents are a brother, Z. J. Gruey, and a sister, Miss Hazel Gruey, who were this morning apprised of the death of a daughter and sister, who will be unable to come to the funeral. A brother, T. H. Gruey, resides here at 442 Mill street, and it was in the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Gruey that Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler had been visiting. The body was taken there this morning.

The wound, sustained when a revolver he was carrying was accidentally discharged, was so severe that but little hope was at any time held out for his recovery. The 38 calibre bullet opened a woound that extended from his right side up and through both lungs and caused much suffering. Death came as a relief. He is survived by his mother and father and several brothers and sisters, overcome by the untimely death of son and brother. The boy, who was but fifteen years of age, was a favorite with schoolmates and elders. The funeral will be held Tuesday at 11 o'clock at the Methodist church at Monroe Center, Rev. Brown of Kelloggsville officiating. Interment will be in the Kelloggsiville cemetery. ELWIN HOGLE SHOT THROUGH HIP AND LUNG __ Young Man of Monroe Township Lies in A Serious Condition From Wounds. __ Gun Accidentally Discharged __ A Thirty-Eight Calibre Bullet Ranged Upward From Hip and Penetrated Both Lungs - Is Seriously Injured - Was Out Hunting When Shot. __ The accidental discharge of a revolver which he carried in his pocket inflicted serious wounds to Elwin Hogle, the fifteen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Hogle, who reside three miles east of Monroe Center. The accident happened last evening when the young man was starting on a coon hunt. He carried in his hip pocket a 38 calibre revolver and instead of carrying it as such weapons are usually carried, the lad had slipped it into the pocket with the muzzle pointing up. In leaning over the weapon was accidentally discharged in some way and the bullet passed up through the hip and ranging upward penetrated both lungs. The accident happened just after he had started on the hunt and when he was not far from home. After being wounded he was able to walk to the home of R. Hale, nearby, where he remained while his parents were summoned and until Dr. W. H. Leet could arrive from this city. Taken to his home the wounds were dressed by the surgeon and the young man left in as fit condition as the circumstances would permit. Today he is in much pain but is easier than throughout the night. The wound was quite severe, the large calibre of the bullet making it most dangerous. It is feared that the bullet ploughing through the lungs will induce pneumonia, in which event the case will assume a most serious aspect. Many friends hope for the young man's recovery. KILLS HUSBAND, THEN SELF ___ Wife Afraid She Was Losing Man's Love Uses Gun and Razor to Carry Out Tragedy. ___ Cleveland, Mar 12. - Afraid that she was losing her husband's love on account of a year's illness, police say, Mrs. Katherine Buckholzer, 25, shot and killed Andrew Buckholzer, 28, in their home. Then, standing at the sink, looking into a mirror, she cut her own throat and fell across her husband's body. The two corpses were found when Mrs. Buck-holzer's mother, Mrs. Katherine Herman, went to the home with some freshly laundered clothes, and being unable to get a response to continued knock-ing, asked Mike Fulz, a neighbor to enter by a window. Buckholzer was lying on his back on the kitchen floor. He was dressed for work. Across his breast lay his wife, her throat cut with a deep gash, the blood covering her body and that of the man. Near by lay a shotgun, and on the sink was a bloody butcher knife.
