Births, Marriages & Deaths from the Carbon Advocate 1878 Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Carbon Advocate, 1878-1879 This is the third in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Carbon Advocate. Like the previous parts, in extracting the births, marriages & deaths, I have not included the following types of items: 1. Items that did not pertain to Carbon or the surrounding counties. I excluded anything west and south of Berks County, and south of Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I generally included anything north of Carbon county. 2. Estate notices. 3. Murder trials. 4. Coroner inquests when they are not part of the original death notice. In extracting these records, I have copied items as completely and exactly as possible. I have not attempted to correct any spelling errors. If I felt a need to add any text, I did so in brackets. Although most of the papers on microfilm were easy to read, there were some times where the image quality made things difficult. Because of this, researchers are advised to consult the original records. Volume 6, Number 6, Saturday, January 5, 1878 Local and Personal. Wilheim House and John Leffler were killed by falls of coal in Schuylkill county mines, on Saturday. Local and Personal. One evening last week a Mahoning Valley lady presented her husband with triplets--two boys and one girl. The two boys died on the same evening and the girl two days after birth. Murder and Suicide. The village of Ferndale, near Catasauqua, was Tuesday night the scene of a terribly determined murder, followed by the suicide of the assassin. The village is composed of some forty or fifty dwellings, owened by the Catasauqua Manufacturing Company, whose rolling mill gives employment to most of the inhabitants. In the mill was a young man named John Haddock, a Welshman by birth and a puddler by trade. He was twenty-two years old, steady, industrious, and a leader in the social pleasures of the young people of the place, and had long been attentive to a very quiet, pretty girl living in the village, named Lizzie Davis. For some days past Lizzie has been endeavoring to persuade him to cease calling upon her. This Haddock attributed to the presence of a young man from the coal mines who was visiting Ferndale, but had paid her no special attention. Haddock became very jealous and threatened Lizzie, some days since, saying he would kill her if she did not marry him, to which threat she paid no heed except to laugh at it. Tuesday night, a little before nine o'clock. Haddock called upon Lizzie, whom he found temporarily alone at the house of a relative. What occurred during the brief moments of his call no mortal knows. Two shots were heard by the neighbors, but, being attributed to New Year carousal, no special attention was paid to them. Fifteen minutes later a cry of "Murder!" was heard coming from the home of young Haddock. When the neighbors 1 reached the house they were told by his agonized mother that John came in a few moments previously, asked for a light, went up stairs, and immediately after a shot was heard. The body of the young man was found on the stairway landing quite dead. he had thrown himself upon his back on the floor, deliberately pressed the pistol against his breast and fired directly into his heart. His collar was found at his side. On it he had written "Forgive me, mother." Just after this William Davis, the cousin of Lizzie Davis, on entering his house found something obstructing the door. Having forced an entrance he found Lizzie lying in a pool of blood. Being picked up tenderly she gave one or two gasps and died. She had been shot directly behind the ear and had fallen, apparently without a struggle, to the floor. Then the murderer had proceeded to the kitchen, found the carving knife, and, returning to the prostrate girl, inflicted gash after gash until his jealous vengeance was satisfied. He then fled to his home, a few doors distant, to finish his work, as before narrated. The murderer's overcoat and necktie were found on the floor, near the body of the murdered girl. The carving knife lay on the kitchen table, covered with blood. So to two families the new year comes in with sorrow and tears and shame. MARRIED, ANDREAS-GOMBERT.--On the 23rd ult., by Rev. A.

The sudden and mysterious death at Upper Lehigh, of Monsieur Jno. F. Fabla, on last Monday morning, causes sadness to prevail among the many to whom deceased was particularly known. Monsieur was universally esteemed a prince of good fellows, hence the regret. For some years he had been Superintendent of the bar of the Mansion, but for the last year or year and half he kept Leisenring's Boarding House at Upper Lehigh, where, just suiting the kind of custom he usually entertained, he was greatly appreciated. Monsieur was a man of polite manners and knew to perfection how to put on airs, but a good fellow withal, whose loss will be long felt. He belonged to the Mauch Chunk Division of Knights of Honor, many of whom attended his funeral at Upper Lehigh on Wednesday afternoon. Letter from Mauch Chunk. MATRIMONIAL.

KING Solomon, the very wisest of all wise sages, past, present, and to come, declared, in his day, there was nothing new under the sun: how then can the weak brain of a modern author (ye sons and daughters of fire-eyed Genius, be not, I beseech you, offended; I only mean weak, when compared with the brain of king Solomon) pretend to lead the fastidious critic through paths untrodden before, or present to his lynx-like sight sentiments and incidents unheard of either in prose or verse? The difficulty of twisting, twining, and winding together, three or four volumes, of sufficient interest to attract public attention, is labour that requires an ingenuity few have genius enough to accomplish, and affords a weighty reason why prefaces are growing out of fashion; for an author finds his inventive faculties spun as thin as a cobweb in supplying the requisite number of pages for his story, without wasting his metaphors, sublimity, and brilliance, on a preface.

  • The History Christ Church
    The History Of Christ Church Pottstown, Pa. Compiled by MORISON BLAKE, USNR-RET. + 1964 1846 1964 FOREWORD In compiling the history of a church many sources must be sought out and consulted. The newspaper clippings collected over a long period of time by the late Frederick W. Ancona have been of inestimable help. The History of Christ Church written and privately printed by the late William Herbert Price has suggested many areas to explore in even more detail then he was able to do at the time of his writing. Our parent church, St. Gabriel’s of Douglassville, published recently, a monograph of its history and through the courtesy of the Rector, Reverend Lloyd L. Wolf, a copy was given to Christ Church to aid in obtaining the background of our heritage. The Pottstown Mercury has been most generous in permitting incorporation of items appearing in its pages concerning Christ Church, which are of value in the history of a church. Too much cannot be said for the assistance of the staff of the Pottstown Public Library in making available sources of collateral Pottstown history which fitted the community activities of Christ Church.

  • Timeline of Accidents
    EVENTS WE MAYBE SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPECTING1 Let’s do some thinking about Thoreau’s accidents. Weren’t there an unusual number of accidents in this particular person’s life? As a toddler, in a backyard incident, he had chopped off his own right big toe with the help of the kindling hatchet. As a young man, he had helped a buddy set a fire in a stump to cook their fish, and the conflagration that resulted burned over an entire section of Concord’s woodlots. While living in his shanty on the pond, he badly strained his torso muscles in avoiding the kick of a horse. Then he waded out toward Clark’s Island in Boston Harbor and was almost caught and carried away as the tide came in; had he not been rescued by a passing fisherman in a rowboat, our guy would surely have drowned. Are there other occasions I haven’t taken into consideration? Over and above what was happening to him personally, there was what was going on around him. During his lifetime there was the wreck of an Irish immigrant vessel on the rocks off Cape Cod, described in CAPE COD, and there was the wreck of the vessel carrying Margaret Fuller in the surf of Fire Island, and there was the shattering explosion of a powder mill near Concord with blackened human body parts being pulled down from the branches of the surrounding trees, and there were the people riding near Concord, backwards atop the train, who got their brains batted out against a low bridge beam, and there was a fire aboard an excursion boat that destroyed the lives of several people he knew — and so on and so forth.

  • Ways with Words Notes In
    UNIVERSITY OF CALICUT I B.A./B.SC./B.COM ENGLISH COMMMON WAYS WITH WORDS PREPARED BY www.literariness.org 0 Sonnet 29 William Shakespeare's Sonnet 29 focuses on the speaker's initial state of depression, hopelessness and unhappiness in life and the subsequent recovery through happier thoughts of love. The emotional state of the speaker in Sonnet 29 is one of depression: in the first line, he assumes himself to be "in disgrace with fortune," meaning he has been having bad luck. He also feels in disgrace with "men's eyes," implying that the general public looks on him unfavorably. This could be real or imagined, but it is enforced in line 2, when he bemoans his "outcast state." Here, "state" refers to a state of being, and in this case, he is cast out from society. Lines 3-4 make allusion to Job of the Old Testament in the Bible, who was cast out onto a dung heap and called to a God who didn't listen. The poet finds himself in the same situation: Heaven personified is God, and in this case he is "deaf," making the poet's cries "bootless," or useless. The idea of cursing one's fate also hearkens to Job, who cursed himself after falling out of God's favor. The speaker finds himself envying what others have, and in lines 5-9 he sees almost everyone as having something he lacks. He wishes to be like "one more rich in hope," perhaps meaning hopeful or literally wealthy; "featured like him," refers to someone who is handsome, with beautiful features; and another is "with friends possessed," or popular, unlike the poet (as has been established in the first two lines).

    W. A. McCay Chains of Command While exploring a group of devastated class-M planets in a remote sector of space, the crew of the U.S.S. "Enterprise (TM) " is shocked to discover a group of human slaves on a forbidding, glacial world. When the slaves revolt against their human overseers, Captain Picard, and his crew sympathize with the slaves’ plight but cannot interfere in the conflict. After the revolt is a success, Captain Picard learns that both the slaves and the overseers were controlled by a mysterious bird-like race called the Tseetsk, who are coming to reclaim their property. With the time running out, the rebels kidnap Captain Picard and Counsellor Troi -- drawing the U.S.S. "Enterprise" into the middle of their deadly plan of vengeance. ( AS THE AWAY TEAM winked into existence on the planet’s surface, the luxuriant undergrowth stirred, riffled by a gentle breeze. Commander William Riker saw the leaves shiver in the gust, but he couldn’t feel it through his atmosphere suit. He glanced around. There was no sign of animal life in the pristine landscape. “No bugs,” he muttered. “Paradise for picnickers.” A laugh crackled in his ear. Riker turned and gestured impatiently at the other members of the team. “Let’s get on with the readings and samples.” He shifted uncomfortably in the suit. “Move, people, unless you want to spend your entire time planetside in these blasted things.” The young crew members burst into a flurry of activity, none of them eager to appear slow in front of their commander.
