On Friday afternoon of last week, Peter Martin, Esq., a well known citizen of Sergeant township, started to drive from his residence on the old Adam Martine farm to the store of Lawrence Bayer, a mile and a half distant, for a load of feed. He drove a pair of four-year-old colts of his own raising, and the team having been kept in the stable for weeks past without being used, was full of life and hard to hold. In going down the hill a short distance from his house, a pile of wood by the side of the road was being passed, when one of the colts appeared frightened and began to jump. Immediately after he threw a hind leg over the wagon tongue which resulted in frightening his mate and the team became unmanageable. A neighbor's boy was with Mr. Martin and when the team started to run he jumped out, and was unharmed. Before reaching the school house on the Clermont road the wagon was upset and the team had cleared themselves from it. They ran nearly half a mile before they stopped. When the wagon was upset, Mr. Martin was thrown out and when found a few moments after by some of the employees of Bayer's mill, which is only a short distance from there, he was lying beside the wagon in a dazed condition. Upon examination a wound was discovered on the side of his head and it is supposed he was struck by a piece of iron or sharp object attached to the wagon. He was conveyed to his home where he died in about an hour and a half from the time he was hurt. Dr. ? G. Brown of this place was telegraphed for, and Dr. John Brown reported to the summons but Mr. Martin had been dead an hour before he got there. Mr. Martin was born in Philadelphia on the 13th day of December, 1838, and at the age of seven years moved, with his father's family to this county. His father was Adam Martin, who died a few years ago, and who was one of the most substantial and best known men in Sergeant township. In June, 1870, Peter married Lenora Roeder, the result of that union being 11 children, ten of whom have been buried. The deceased was an excellent citizen whose word was as good as his bond, and affectionate father and devoted husband. He was a member of the Odd Fellow's Lodge of Clermont, and of the Smethport Encampment, I.O.O.F. Those organizations turned in large numbers at his funeral which occurred on Monday, Rev. Hane officiating. The burial services as laid down in the ritual of the order were observed at the grave in Rose Hill cemetery, this place, where he was buried. A beautiful pillar of ??? flowers, presented by Clermont Lodge, showing the appreciation in which he was held by his brother members, was deposited with the casket which contained all that was mortal of Peter Martin. Clermont: Among many others that attended the funeral of Peter Martin, regardless of the stormy day, we noticed Mr. and Mrs. Lawrence Bayer and Mr. and Mrs. G.W. Beltnap. Edward B. Dickinson died at his residence in Norwich township at a quarter before four o'clock on Tuesday morning of this week, aged 78 years. Mr. Dickinson was born in Pittsgrove township, Salem county, N.J. on the 22nd day of September, 1811. He came to McKean county in 18?3 and took a contract for 100 acres of land on the west branch of Potatoe creek, which he cleared up and made his home, and where he resided up to the day of his death, lately with his sons. On September 22d 1840, he was married to Rosey Comes, sister of David D. Comes, Esq., of Keating township. Mrs. Dickinson died in 18?7. The result of the union was eight children, four of whom - two sons, Wm C. and Charles W., and two daughter, Mrs. M.A. Howard and Mrs. A.M. Bartlett - are still living. Up to within a few years Mr. Dickinson had a vigorous constitution and was always a hard worker. He was one of the most successful hunters of all the early settlers in the Potatoe creek valley. About four years ago his health began to decline and for nearly a year he has been confined to his house most of the time. It was a general breaking down of the system incident to advanced age. On Sunday last he became unconscious most of the time, and when he died on Tuesday he dropped away without a struggle. He was a man of earnest convictions, of strict integrity and was highly respected by all who knew him. The funeral was held this week at 2 p.m., Rev. Hovey of the Baptist church officiating. A large congregation of relatives and friends followed his remains to their last resting place in the Colgrove cemetery. Thomas Griffith, father of Hon. J.T.
