Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Lehighton Press, 1908-1909

This is the ninth in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Lehighton Press. As my source I am using microfilm from The State Library of Pennsylvania.

Like the previous extracts, 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.

Hale and Hearty at Eighty. Lafayette Lentz, better known as "Pop" Lentz, coal operator and philanthropist, has just celebrated his 80th birthday at his home at Mauch Chunk. Mr. Lentz is an enthusiastic fisherman and every Spring comes to Monroe county to play with the trout in McMichael's Creek. Along this stream he is as much at home among the farmers as he is among the folks at Mauch Chunk. For the past few seasons he took the flag for catching the biggest trout and most of them. He is a member of the Pohoqualine Fishing Association, which controls much of McMichael's Creek by lease and purchase, and so he has some expert anglers to contend with but he bests them anyhow. Out in Chestnut Hill the appearance of "Pop" Lentz is awaited with as much interest in the Spring as the coming of the bluebirds and robins--and its just as sure.--Stroudsburg Times.

Fanatics Commit Terrible Crime - A wild religious orgie, which lasted for two days and two nights, terminated Tuesday morning at Nazareth when Robert Bachman, a religious fanatic who imagines he is a God, offered up his little niece Mary Irene Smith, five-year-old daughter of Henry Smith, a member of the Borough Council of Alliance, as a religious sacrifice. Bachman's wife says he stamped the child to death, saying her body housed a devil. Bachman was arrested as well as the child's father and are locked up in the Easton jail. The Coroner's jury charges Bachman with the murder of the child. The father is said to be a raving maniac. Bachman is the leader of a strange sect known as "The House of God," and not only his wife, but Smith, who is his brother-in-law, and the remainder of the followers regard him as a Diety, as the king of all mankind. They considered him all powerful and incapable of doing wrong. Their opinions and beliefs will no doubt be reversed by a sane jury at next term of Northampton County Court.

Girl Of Five Slain In Religious Frenzy Head of Praying Band, While Fighting Devil, Slays Niece. Mother Held As Accessory Robert Bachman, Calling Himself "God," Said to Have Stamped Babe to Death in Pennsylvania--Prompted by Revenge. Easton, Pa.--The mother of May Irene Smith, murdered as a sacrifice by a religious fanatic, was lodged in the Northampton County jail in this city, charged with aiding and abetting the killing of her own daughter. She was arrested immediately after the funeral services at the grave, at the Stone Church Cemetery, about twenty-four miles from here. Mrs. Bachman, the wife of Robert Bachman, who has confessed to the district Attorney and to a World correspondent that by the direction of God, he stranged May Irene Smith to death, was also arrested. A new and startling phase in the pitiful tragedy has cropped out. When County Detective Johnson took Bachman's wife into custody, one of the best known residents of Nazareth called Johnson aside and said to him: "Are you sure that this religious frenzy idea is all a fake? Do you know that the killing of this child was a premeditated murder by Bachman in revenge for the death of one of his own children? He was the father of a little girl nineteen months old, and it was taken to Smith's house on the Cherry Hill road, where it contracted pneumonia from May Irene, the little girl who was murdered. Bachman got it into his head that the Smiths were responsible for the death of his baby daughter, and he began exercising the marvelous hypnotic power he possessed to bring Smith and Mrs. Smith into the belief he had adopted. "His argument was that the Pennsylvania Dutch, of Northampton County, no longer followed the teachings of Martin Luther, and that the time had come for the formation of a new sect. "There is no question that he believed this himself and became a fanatic on the subject, but at the same time he used it to carry out his scheme of a revenge. "He conceived a terrible hatred for the five-year-old daughter of his brother-in-law and displayed it so openly that she became afraid of him, and frequently so expressed herself. "She refused to go to the Bachman house alone and it was only by the greatest persuasion that she was induced to visit there last Monday. Her father and mother were then under the complete mental domination of Bachman and did exactly as he bade them. "They ran from room to room, singing and praying. they smashed furnisture and shattered mirrors to drive out devils and admit the Spirit of God. They tore bed sheets into strips

53 and knotted these strips around their waists until the breath was almost driven from their bodies. They burned up all the books in the house except the Bible, and a small book with a vellum cover whose leaves were entirely blank except the first, on which was writte, 'Gott ist Gott.' "Bachman proclaimed himself as God's brother, and then as God Himself. Then by the exercise of the strange power he possessed he compelled Smith to worship him, kneeling at his feet. He commanded him constantly to bring May Irene to the house that she might be imbued by the Holy Spirit, and the child was taken there to her death. "Bachman knew perfectly well what he was doing. He believed that May Irene had communicated pneumonia to his nineteen-months-old child and in his fanatical zeal he determined that the Smith child should atone for what he said was a sin against the daughter of God, for he believed himself to be God, so he cunningly set up the claim that he was attempting to drive out the evil spirit from May Irene and to do it he was compelled to strangle her, and then stamp and sit on her dead body. "That is the real story, Mr. Johnson. Bachman has confessed his crime three times. Once to you, once to the District Attorney, and once to a World correspondent, but he has skillfully avoided revealing the real motive for his crime." The county detective has had a long and varied experience in criminology, and this suggestion rather staggered him, but he went to Mrs. Bachman and questioned her before placing her under arrest. She admitted that one of her children had died of pneumonia, that May Irene Smith, while convalescing fromt he same disease, had visited and played with her child. That it was suspected the disease had been communicated by this association. But Mrs. Bachman would not admit that her husband conceived a hatred for May Irene on this account. The woman had recovered in a measure from the religious frenzy which possessed her while she was under the control of her husband, and was inclined to be cautious in her answers. She said that Robert, her husband, never expressed dislike for the child until he became convinced she was controlled by the devil, and then he deemed it his duty to cast out the evil spirit.

Made A Show Of The Hanging Foreigners Encouraged to View Execution of a Murderer. Pennsylvania Sheriff Expects Them to Spread Horror of It to Induce Respect For Law. Pottsville, Pa.--Before a crowd of about 800, Felix Radzious, the Shenandoah murderer, was hanged in the Schuylkill County jail yard here. It was the hope of the officials that the hanging exhibition would be an object lesson to the lawless foreigners who have given Schuylkill Counmty a red record in the last ten years. But the officials could not have selected a less satisfactory subject for their object lesson, for Radzious proved to be the coolest criminal who ever trod a scaffold. He not only went nonchalantly to his doom, but assisted Sheriff Evans and his deputies in making the job a quick and neat one. He put his arms and legs into position for binding and lifted his head so the deputy could more easily adjust the noose. Five hundred passes to the hanging were issued by the sheriff, most of them to foreigners, but no foreigner was denied admission even if he had no pass. The jail yard was filled before 10 o'clock, the crowd surging around the scaffold so that deputies had to march ahead of the condemned man and his spiritual advisers as he was brought from the prison. The murderer looked neither to right nor left, but walked with shoulders thrown back, mounted the narrow stairs to the gallows without assistance and stood under the noose with never a quiver. He declined to make a statement. Radzius was a boarder at the home of Mrs. Mary Cherkoskis and had been denied admission to the house when he came home late in an intoxicated state. The next morning he sent the woman's seven-year-old daughter off on an errand, and while she was gone he followed Mrs. Cherkoskis into the cellar and cut her throat with her husband's razor. Her four-year-old son followed her, and to stop his crying Radzius murdered him.

Plunged 1000 Feet Into Mine, 5 Killed Runaway Truck Crashes Into Car Filled With Men. Speed Of Forty Miles An Hour Miners Killed at the Warrior Shaft, Wilkes-Barre, Pa., as They Were Starting For Home-- Headman Arrested. Wilkes-Barre, Pa.--Five men were killed and many injured at the Warrior Run Colliery of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, when a runaway mine car dashed into a car full of miners who were being pulled up a 2000-foot slope. The dead: James Gallagher, aged twenty-seven years, car runner, single; Julius Kurtz, aged forty years, miner, single; Frank Ostrolsk, aged thirty-seven years, married, survived by wife and two children; Samuel Ruscave, aged sixteen years, doortender; John Forkalshak, aged fifty-one years, married, survived by wife and three children. William Naywadey, aged forty years, single, and Ignatz Gowlsky, aged thirty-two years, are fatally injured. Twelve others were more or less injured. The day's work had been finished, and the heavy wooden car, with four seats running crosswise, was filled with men, eager to gain the surface and hasten home. The slope is 2000 feet long, running from the surface down to a vein which is about 900 feet under ground. When the car reached the third switching station on the slope the men heard a sudden roar, and were appalled upon looking up the slope to see a huge mine car rushing down at them with a terrific speed. About half of the men were able to jump from the truck and thus save their lives, though all were more or less injured. The runaway, heavily laden with refuse, ran up the rope to which the truck was fastened and plunged down among the mine workers. Both cars plunged 1000 feet

90 down the slope. Investigation showed that the accident was the fault of John Stimcon, aged twenty-six years, single, who was headman at the slope. Stimcon failed to handle the loaded car properly, and it bacame unmanageable. It dashed down the branch track, jumped the switch on to the main track, and plunged into the ascending truck while traveling at a speed of forty miles an hour. The descending car weighed several tons and dashed the men in the front of the truck to instant death. Mine Superintendent Boyle arrested Stimcon for criminal negligence, and censured the company for not having a head block at the end of the slope so that no car could gain the mail slope, even though it did run away on the branch.

Killed And Body Cut Up Farmer Accused of the Murder of a Jewelry Salesman. George Schaeffer, of Schnecksville, Pa., Arrested For a Brutal Crime--Dismembered Remains Found. Allentown, Pa.--The dismembered body of Leopold Ermann, a jewelry salesman, living at 1305 North Seventh street, Philadelphia, has been found under the newly concreted floor of a chicken house on the farm of George Schaeffer, near Schnecksville, a village eleven miles north of here. Ermann came here on November 17 to sell Schaeffer, who is twenty-four years old, a $150 diamond ring which he wanted to present to his fiancee, Miss Flora Schuler. Ermann stayed over night with Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Hunicker, stepfather and mother of Schaeffer, who say that besides $800 worth of jewelry Ermann had about $1000 in cash. After breakfast next morning Ermann left to call on Schaeffer, intending next to go to the home of Owen Peter, a quarter of a mile away, to deliver a gold watch which Mr. Peter had ordered as a birthday present for one of his daughters. Ermann never got to the Peter home, and after a day or two suspicion began to be directed at Schaeffer. Within a week Jacob Ermann, a brother of the missing man, came on from Philadelphia and began a search, assisted by the Allentown police. A few days ago they arrested Schaeffer and he was committed to jail. His attorney, former Congressman Kline, started habeas corpus proceedings for Schaeffer's release on the score that the prosecution was not warranted in the absence of both corpse and loot. The police then started to dig on Schaeffer's farm, tearing up the concrete which he had laid since November 18. They found first the missing man's clothes and then in six places the six parts into which Schaeffer had cut Ermann's corpse. Further digging brought forth all the murdered man's jewelry except the missing diamond ring. The jewelry was in Ermann's satchel, labelled with his name. It was dark by the time the clothes were found and the rest of the digging was done by lantern light. Clinton Trumbower, a brother-in-law of Schaeffer, was arrested and committed to jail on a charge of complicity. Schaeffer, it is believed, felled Ermann with the blunt end of a hatchet and then severed his head, arms and legs with an axe.

Will A Reward Be Offered? The Press does not say that Boatman Koch was wilfully murdered. But we do believe that he was kicked or pushed down the steps. At the bottom of the steps his head struck the sharp edge of the door jam and his skull was fractured causing his death. It may be another case of "hold up," with an unexpected ending. The case warrants an investigation. We don't hope anybody is holding back for a liberal reward.

Coroner's Jury Believes Henry Koch Was Murdered At Shafers The finding of the dead body of Henry Koch on Sunday at Schafer's saloon on North Second street caused a sensation that has since been the chief topic in this vicinity. The discovery was made by Landlord John Schafer and his housekeeper Mrs. Walter Schafer, upon their return Sunday noon from a coaching party that left here Saturday afternoon for Lizard Creek Valley. Upon entering the house Mrs. Schafer stumbled over the dead body and this was their first intimation that all was not right. Shafer immediately notified Policeman Newhart and District Attorney Gray and summoned physicians and also Coroner Bray, of Mauch Chunk. A hurried examination of the premises led the authorities to believe that Koch met a violent death. After a detailed inspection Coroner Bray permitted the removal of Koch's body to his home in the Dreher homestead across the street. On Monday morning he returned and selected a jury to hold an inquest. The jurymen together with the officers visited the Schafer saloon and residence and viewed the body of Koch at his home, after which they heard a number of witnesses in the reading room of the Exchange hotel. Coroner Bray selected this jury: George W. Reichard, John F. Hottenstein, B. K. Culton, David McCormick, George W. Morthimer, and C. W. Kreidler. The witnesses were called and being duly sworn gave evidence as follows: Charles Hofford—I was at Schafer's saloon from 7 o'clock Saturday evening until 12 o'clock. Koch was there all the time that I was. As near as I can judge, Koch drank three or four glasses of beer—he was jolly and happy. Others present at the time of closing were William Hess, the bartender, John Drumbore, and Drumbore and I left together. During the evening John Flynn and Theodore Nonweiler were in the bar room. I didnt see Koch spend any money

140 during the evening. Hess was sober when I left. I did not see him drink much during the evening. Mrs. Koch, the widow of the dead man was the next witness. Koch spent a great deal of his time at the restaurant across the street. Koch was home to dinner on Saturday. Said he was going back; that Schafer's had gone off and asked him to help Billy Hess take care of the place. She thought nothing of this; packed up and went to Walcksville to visit over Sunday. Was notified of her husband's death while she was at Walcksville. Frank Sauers, of North Third street, was at the place about 15 minutes, from 11.30 to 11.45 p. m. Came to buy a “growler.” When I left the only persons in the place were “Billy” Hess, “Old” Koch, John Drumbore and Charlie Hofford. There was no quarreling. The men all seemed to be peaceable and jolly. John W. Heller, the undertaker, was sworn. He said—I was called in at about ten minutes of four Sunday afternoon to take charge of the body. I found the body in the dining room. The body was lying extended from the stairway. Found an abrasion of the scalp with a fracture of the back part of the skull. Found blood marks in two places on the carpet. Found two inch abrasion on the left arm and a bruise on the back—these injuries could come from a fall or from a kick. L. J. Heldt sworn—Live in same house in which John Schafer lives. My room is on the other side of the house and I can hear loud talking or racket from the Schafer side. I went to bed a little after nine o'clock. I got awake after midnight at about two o'clock and heard talking and swearing and a rumbling noise, but it soon quieted and I went to sleep. Mrs. Walter Schafer sworn—Live with John Schaefer. Was not at home Saturday evening. Left Saturday at one o'clock and returned about twelve o'clock on Sunday. I fell over the body of Koch. Didn't notice that anything was out of order. All the windows were closed when we left. Koch often stayed at place all night, but never was up in bed room before. Hess often had charge of saloon in the absence of Schafer. When Hess was told of Koch's death he fainted. There was a hammer in under the parlor window. Shown the hammer by Officer Newhart she said she never saw it before. John Schafer, sworn. Live on Second street. Business saloon keeper. Live in same building. Left home at about one o'clock Saturday and returned Sunday at about twelve. Set no time when I expected to be home Rest of testimony similar to Mrs. Schafer's. Chester Setzer sworn. Was at Schafer's between 8 and 9 o'clock Sunday night. Found a collar No. 13 1/2 Schafer told me that the collar did not belong to anyone in the house. It looks to me as if the collar were torn off the shirt. It had a button in the back. Special Officer Newhart sworn—Heard of dead man being found at Schafers at about 12.15. Called at the house and notified District Attorney Gray and Coroner Bray. Found coat and hat on bureau and boots and pants on floor. It looked as if somebody had been in the room with Koch. Hess told me that he was asleep and heard no noise or commotion during the night or morning. William Hess sworn—I am a laborer at Packerton. I was tending bar on Saturday afternoon and evening for John Schafer. Henry Koch was helping me. There was in the place from seven o'clock up to the time that I closed. Charles Hofford, John Flynn, Theodore Nonweiler, Frank Sauers and Oscar Green. There was no quarreling at all during the afternoon or night. There was not much drinking—nobody was drunk. Koch had several glasses of beer which I gave him and charged against his account. I had only three or four drinks during the afternoon and evening. Drumbore and Hofford left when I closed up, the others left just a little before the two former. I closed at five minutes before twelve. Koch came into the place at about ten minutes before eight. I told Koch to stay with me. He went upstairs alone and I told him to

141 take any bed that he'd find. I went to sleep on the couch in the side room right after Koch went upstairs. I am a sound sleeper. I didn't hear any noise and didn't get awake until John Schafer aroused me and told me that Koch was dead. I went upstairs. There were a number of people there. I fainted when I saw the body. I have seen many other dead men, but I never fainted before. I never saw Koch drunk. He was never quarrelsome. After hearing the witnesses the jury deliberated and rendered this verdict: “That Henry Koch came to his death at the hands of some person or persons unknown.” Henry Koch, the dead man, was one of the best known boatmen on the Lehigh Canal. He moved to Lehighton last Fall from Broad Mountain back of East Mauch Chunk. A number of years ago he was a resident of Long Run. He was a veteran of the civil war serving as a private in Co. C. 153d Regt., Pa. Vol. and was aged 67 years. Besides his widow he is survived by a number of children. His funeral was held yesterday afternoon with interment in the G. A. R. plot in Lehighton cemetery.

Koch Murder Case The Mauch Chunk News says “Lehighton is getting over the excitement due to Sunday's tragedy and many now scout the murder theory.” The News is misinformed. Lehighton is not so excitable that it could easily be led into thinking something that did not happen. The coroner's jury was composed of Lehighton citizens who would have been only too glad to spare the town “the humiliation of having to confess that it has a murderer in its midst.” The wedge shaped hammer was not considered by the jury, neither was the broken lamp globe. The testimony of Mr. L. J. Heldt, the owner of the building, who is a reputable man, was given the most consideration. Mr. Heldt occupies one-half of the dwelling over the saloon. He was awakened sometime after midnight by noises in the room adjoining his, which was occupied by Koch. He heard someone call out the vilest of profane names, then there was a rumbling of noise after which all was quiet. Koch certainly did not call himself a vile name and then fall headlong down the steps and fracture his skull against the door jam at the bottom, causing his death. The position of the body when found also indicated that some one pulled Koch's remains from the landing at the bottom of the steps into the sitting room. The proper officials should make a thorough investigation. Too many murderers go unpunished and evil inclined persons take desperate chances because of woeful laxity on the part of the constituted authorities.

Who Is The Murderer? Two weeks have passed since Henry Koch was found dead in the Park House on North Second Street, and nothing has as yet been done to apprehend the person or persons who caused the death of the old soldier. His pocket book is missing and this leads to a motive for attacking the man. He had spoken of securing his pension the day before he was found dead and it is now firmly believed that someone attacked him in the bedroom upstairs. In the cities when a case like this is called to the attention of the authorities, all the witnesses, etc., are promptly summoned and given a “sweating”. In this manner important testimony is secured and the accused persons are held for trial. However, it is very evident that things are different here. Nobody is “sweated,” arrested or held responsible. Criminals take on new courage from the negligence of the constituted authorites and more crimes are the result. Are the offers afraid to take hold of the Koch murder case or are they holding back awaiting the offer of a liberal reward? If Koch would have been a rich man, instead of a poor boatman, wouldn't there be a scramble to avenge his death! It is the way of the world—but its unjust.

Capt. William C. McCormick Passes Peacefully Away By Horace F. Keat. William C. McCormick died at 4.25 Sunday morning at his home, corner of Second and North streets, aged 75 years. Although known to be seriously afflicted, his death came as a sudden shock to his family and friends. He was felling well Friday and entertained a number of callers as late as ten o'clock. Early Saturday morning there was a sudden change for the worse and his family was summoned to his bedside. He gradually sank, passing away as noted above. In the death of Captain McCormick Lehighton loses one of her very best citizens; a man whom the community will ever remember as approaching the ideal about as nearly as is possible in this life, and of which no town boasts of an overplus. It was our good fortune to know Mr. McCormick intimately. For nearly twenty years we enjoyed his friendship; of late years saw him frequently. In all that time we never met him except as the same courteous, even tempered gentleman. His was an honesty that cleared every atmosphere in which his presence was, that permeated his every deed, for no purpose with him but was an honest cause. Staid and rugged always in his convictions and of keen perspicuity, he was ever found battling for the right with a purpose single to the advancement of Lehighton and Carbon County's best interests. It was his rule to become conversant with public issues. He studied them thoroughly, weighed all carefully and then lent his best endeavors towards consummation of the cause of justice and duty as he saw it; and his judgment being true and his deductions logical, he was seldom wrong in his conclusions. That he was a power for municipal good his record gives eloquent emphasis, and the general esteem in which he was held by his townsfolk is amply evidenced by his success at the polls, for, notwithstanding he was in politics a Republican, he served longer in municipal office in a town with a preponderance of votes listed as Democratic, than any other man of his party: his known and recognized worth as a public officer are thus at once creditable alike to the man,

153 and to the men who gave him their suffrage. Mr. McCormick's friendship was a valuable asset, and his passing away will be widely and sincerely mourned. As a soldier his record was on a par with that of the civilian. He loved his comrades of the terrible struggle of 61-65 with a devotion that was true and far reaching. The few remaining "boys in blue" will never forget the gallant lad whose service to the common cause gave them a comrade whom they found delight in honoring; a comrade whose hand shake was hearty and whose welcome was always warm hearted and sincere. As one of the organizers of John D. Bertolette Post, No. 484 G. A. R. and an officer in the organization for many years. Captain McCormick kept in close touch with his war time fellows, and many a grizzled veteran came to Lehighton ostensibly to attend campfire, but in reality as they have confessed to the writer since, to spend a profitable and pleasant hour with their "good and earnest friend and comrade, Captain McCormick." The home life of the deceased was ideal. He loved his home, and his family in very truth loses an indulgent and provident husband and father. And close to the family in their bereavement are the more immediate neighbors. These fully recognized and thoroughly appreciated his sterling worth; and they bear testimony to his unselfish devotion and splendid manhood. His "charity in all things" was proverbial among these and his loss will be all the more keenly felt and deeply regretted as a consequence. His greatest activites were directed along lines which meant advancement for all. He was entirely unselfish and was moved neither by plaudits nor hope of personal aggrandizement, or reward of any nature. He was a quiet, earnest worker with full regard for every man's opinion. His was a splendid personality. He was affable always, and his life was one of peaceful content, with every regard for his fellowman and ever a helping hand at the service of the deserving. He had no time to bicker and find fault, but rather used his "allotted span" towards "casting oil upon the troubled waters" of such as sought his advice. He was cheerful to the end. We last saw him just one week prior to his death. The wasting disease had left its imprint, but the mind was clear, disposition cheerful, and impending death knew no terrors for him. Always thoughtful and considerate of his family and friends there was never a murmur or complaint. He knew his condition and was resigned, knowing, and realizing fully "That death, the natural end, will come, when it will come." And death came but as the last sleep. The passing from this life to a better was but the reward of a man whose every act was guided and prompted by the golden rule: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you" Peace to his ashes; reverence to his memory. William C. McCormick was born at Green's Bridge, a superb of Phillipsburg, N. J., on March 23, 1834. He was the eldest son of David McCormick, who emigrated from County Donegal, Ireland, about 1825. The father was a contractor and constructed the Morris canal, one of New Jersey's chief water ways. The deceased received his education in the schools of those days. His father died before William attained his majority, and his mother, nee Mary Lockwood married William Mockeler, also from Ireland. The family moved to Hickory Run, this county, in the year 1855 and engaged in the lumbering business which at that time was the chief industry. At the outbreak of the civil war the father and three sons went to the front. The father and one son were killed in battle and buried in the Arlington cemetery at Washington, D. C.

He served the town in the School Board, Town Council and on the 4th of this month retired from the office of Chief Burgess having 21 years of faithful service to his credit. He was one of the organizers of Col. John D. Bertolette Post 484 G. A. R., and its Quarter Master continuously excepting one term when he was the Post Commander. He was also a charter member of the Lehighton Lodge 621, F. A. M., and a trustee since its organization. Mr. McCormick was twice married. His first wife was Elizabeth Arnold, of Saylorsburg, Monroe county. Nine children were the result of this union, five sons and four daughters. Three sons and two daughters survive.

Death of Venerable Ex-County Superintendent R. F. Hofford Reuben F. Hofford, one of Carbon County's best known citizens, and an esteemed resident of Lehighton, died Sunday evening after a brief illness with pneumonia, contracted a week previous while attending the funeral of his brother in Philadelphia. Mr. Hofford was remarkably well preserved, both in body and mind, and the annoncement of his death came as a shock to his many friends and acquaintances. Father Hofford lived a grand life full of years and honor and experience and none knew him but to respect him. A ready conversationist he always had a word of encouragement or kindly admonition and was beloved alike by old and young. One of his frequent expressions was "To err is human, to forgive divine." His clean character will live long after his body returns to the dust and his name revered by generations, who look back over scores of years, when he was their teacher. Reuben F. Hofford, was born in Buck's County, Pa., January 15, 1825, and was a son of Daniel and Susan (Mangel) Hofford. He attended the public schools of his native county until sixteen years of age when he was sent forth to earn his own living. In Lehigh County he learned the trade of blacksmith and five years were spent at the trade in Allentown. His earnings were spent in acquiring an education at the Allentown Academy after which he attended the Friend's School at Quakertown using up all the money he had acquired as blacksmith. Succeeding years found him engaged as a school teacher at Milford Square, Annville, Palmyra, Hellertown, Orwigsburg and other places, and during vacation periods he continued his studies at Allentown Academy and Strasburg Academy, Lancaster County. Mr. Hofford was long engaged in educational work and was a most excellent instructor, his ability winning for him many coveted positions. Over in Lebanon County he found his help mate in the person of Miss Carrie Decker. They were married in 1854. After marriage he came to Weissport and became principal of the High School, which position he served acceptably from 1857 to 1862. In the latter year his school house was swept away by he memorable freshet and with it his job. Like many of the old settlers about Fort Allen, he got out of reach of freshets by moving to Lehighton. Here he was as teacher for some time and established the high school in the little frame building that stood on the present site of the Methodist church, South First street, and which was used for church purposes before the present edifice was erected. In his high school work he employed Aaron Christine, who assisted him for several years, when Mr. Hofford was chosen County Superintendent of Schools. Mr. Christine then erected the Academy building which stands today as one of Lehighotn's old landmarks and habitated as a tenement house. Mr. Hofford was elected County Superintendent for six successive terms or eighteen years. His record in connection with the educational interests of Carbon County is one of which he was justly proud, his ability winning him a place among the leading instructors of the State. After his career as an educator Mr. Hofford enterred the employ of Joseph Obert as salesman. In the year 1888 he was elected President of the First National Bank, of Lehighton, of which he was one of the organizers, and held the position continuously since. He was also president of the Lehigh Stove Mfg. Company for many years. In religion he adhered to the Presbyterian faith, but was a faithful attendant at the M. E.

164 Church and for many years was a teacher in the Methodist Sunday School. In politics Mr. Hofford was a strong sympathizer with the Prohibition party. His declining years were spent in comfortable circumstances and his home life was ideal. Besides his estimable wife he is survived by one son Edward F., of Philadelphia, and two daughters, Laura V., at home, and Sadie, a trained nurse, of Allentown. His funeral was held from the family residence at 2 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon conducted by Revs. H. A. Smith, William Aspril and A. A. Bresse.

John W. Trainer, Jr., Meets Tragic Death At Allentown. John W. Trainer, Jr. a well known young man of Lehighton, was found dead in his room at the city Hotel, Allentown, Wednesday morning. The Allentown Chronicle says of the discovery: "Trainer registered at the City hotel Monday night and was about the place Tuesday and made frequent visits to the bar-room. Late in the afternoon his condition became such that

174 the bartender refused to give him any more drinks. He left the hotel and returned at 11 o'clock in company with a stranger. After talking a short time with the night clerk Trainer went to his room on the third floor. At 4 o'clock Wednesday morning, one of the hotel cooks while passing the room caught the odor of gas and informed the porter. The latter went to the rooms along the corridor and awakening all of the sleepers in the rooms, inquired if the gas jets in their rooms were closed. The odor was strongest at the door of Trainer's room and the porter knocked some time before he got an answer. Trainer told him that the jet was closed and the porter left. At 9 o'clock a chambermaid, on her rounds to make the beds, found the occupant of the room dead. To satisfy all concerned Dr. C. D. Schaeffer was called in and after an examination said that death in all likelihood was due to inhalation of gas." Trainer was 32 years old and a life long resident of Lehighton.
