Miscellaneous Obituaries From
Huntingdon County, PA
(transcribed under the direction of Dave Wilson)

John STEWART, aged about 54 years, and a resident of Rockhill Furnace,
Huntingdon county, Pa., passed suddenly to his heaven and rest from his
labors, a few minutes after 10 o'clock on Dec. 31st.
He seemed as well as usual all day and retired at his usual early hour,
about 8 o'clock.  He was aroused near 10 o'clock by a severe pain in the
left elbow and arising went down stairs and a very few minutes after, before
medical aid could be had, the pain had reached the heart region and God took
him.  The shock was most sudden and dreadful to all when it was noised about
throughout the community that "John Stewart is dead".
The funeral services were conducted at the home and under the charge of Rev.
J. C. Collins of Newport, Pa.  Rev. Collins was a former pastor of the
deceased.  The present pastor, Rev. Carver, being absent from the field at
the present time, gave the work in full charge of Rev. Collins.  He took for
his text the words of St. Paul, "I have fought a good fight, I have finished
my course, I have kept the faith; henceforth there is laid up for me a
crown."
Brother John Stewart shall be greatly missed.  His life was not short of a
living example of Christianity, Paul said, one time to Timothy, "Let no man
despise thee."  Everyone loved and admired the life---(Remainder of obituary

Mrs. Mary A. ARCHEY, died at her home at Graysville, Huntingdon county, at 3
o'clock last Thursday morning.  She was born in Tubrecarry county, Sligo,
Ireland, May 2, 1842, and is survived by her husband, George ARCHEY, four
sons and four daughters.  She is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Eliza
FRANZ of Canonsburg, Pa.  Interment was made at Graysville on Saturday.

George W. KLING, son of Rev. and Mrs. Jacob KLING, was born in Huntingdon
County, Pa., November 10th, 1855 and died January 7th, 1918, aged 62 years,
1 month and 27 days.
He was joined in marriage December 17th, 1891 to Miss Ara WEIST, of
Baltimore, Ohio, who with their daughter Mrs. G.E. O'BRIEN of Des Moines,
Iowa, survive him.  He is also survived by three brothers and two sisters.
Mr. Kling had bravely battled against disease for the past eight years, each
winter escaping the vigors of our severe climate by spending a few months
where the weather was milder.  On this last December 15th he started for San
Antonio, Texas, altho he was in a very weak condition.  On January 2nd Mrs.
Kling received a wire to go to him at once and she left that evening
arriving in San Antonio, three days later on January 5th.
It was Mr. Kling's wish that he be taken home to Columbus, and owing to the
tender care of his wife he seemed a little stronger and on Monday morning,
January 7th, he was taken to the train and started for his home.  He slept
for a few hours then woke up seeming very weak.  Stimulants were
administered but produced no effect and about 4:30 he died in the arms of
his wife who has devoted the past eight years in trying to help him regain
his health.
Owing to a state law, the train officials intended to put Mrs. Kling and her
husband's body off at the next stop but kind strangers intervened in her
behalf.  A few hours later the train arrived at Houston, Texas where the
body of Mr. Kling was made ready for burial.  Mrs. Kling then started home
arriving in Columbus Thursday evening January 10.
Services were held at his late home Friday evening January 11th, 1918,
conducted by the Rev. R. T. Stimmel assisted by the Rev. H. B. Wastervelt.
Mrs. Roy Brooke sang two of Mr. Kling's favorite songs, "Crossing the Bar"
and "No Night There".
For the past fifteen years he had been a resident of Columbus and was
engaged in real estate business as builder and contractor.
Undoubtedly his life was prolonged by his strong will power never giving up
hopes of eventually getting better and we cannot help but admire his
determination to live and to attend his business affairs as long
as ----------.
Burial was made at Maple Grove cemetery in Baltimore, Ohio.

Lewis D. GIFFORD died at his home at Otelia at 1 o'clock Monday morning,
Feb. 5, from a long illness, due to an abscess on the liver.  Though ill for
over a year, he was able to be around up until three or four months ago.  He
was born in Blacklog Valley, June 1, 1848, and was a son  of John and Mary
GIFFORD.  At death, Mr. Gifford was aged 68 years, 7 months and 5 days.
The early life of the deceased was spent on the farm.  At the age of 18 he
went to McVeytown, where he spent 3 years in learning the flour milling
trade.  Three years were then spent in Western Pennsylvania, and in 1872,
Mr. Gifford returned to Huntingdon county when he leased the flour mill at
Oteli from his brother-in-law, Alfred Etnier.
Mr. Gifford was married on Aug. 31, 1875, to Miss Matilda E. JOHNSTON,
daughter of J. Lowery and Elizabeth BELL JOHNSTON of Otelia.  To this union
were born three children who with the widow survive: Walter S. of near
Newton Hamilton, Maude M., and Mrs. Edna B. GEARHART of Otelia.
After marriage, Mr. Gifford engaged in the lumbering business near McVeytown
until 1877, when he purchased the large farm and flour mill property from
his father-in-law, formerly known as the Samuel H. BELL furnace farms and
flouring mill property.  Later, Mr. Gifford engaged in extensive farming and
lumbering, and for several years employed quite a number of men.  At the
time of the Johnstown flood (1889) his mill and contents were totally
destroyed, inflicting a heavy loss on him and much inconvenience to the
surrounding community.
Deceased was an energetic, hardworking and useful man.  He was always ready
to help his neighbors and friends if in his power to do so.  He was a member
of the M.E. Church for many years.  Besides his wife and 3 children he is
survived by 6 grandchildren, 2 sisters and 1 brother: Mrs. Wm. LAUVER of
Blacklog, Mrs. H. B. ETNIER of Otelia, Lloyd GIFFORD of Denver.
Funeral was held from the late home on Thursday and interment at the Stone
Church in Germany Valley.  Rev. E. C. Myers had charge, assisted by Rev.
Geo. Swayne.  Undertaker W. P. Dunmire.
The bereaved have the sympathy of the entire community.

Mrs. Sarah E. CISNEY widow of Washington CISNEY died suddenly of heart
trouble at the home of her daughter Mrs. William BURGE in Shade Valley Nov.
12th age 76 years and 20 days.  The funeral services were held in the M. E.
Church of Nossville of which she had been a member for 62 years.
Mrs. CISNEY was a daughter of Erasmus and Margaret YOCUM deceased, and was
the first of five daughters to be called by death.  Those surviving are Mrs.
Julia SNYDER and Mrs. Margaret JONES of Mount Union, Mrs. Catharine KERN of
Blairs Mills, Mrs. Elizabeth CISNEY of Huntingdon.
These children survive, Charles W. CISNEY and James A. CISNEY both of
Nossville, Mrs. Margaret GOSHORN of Shelby, Iowa, Mrs. Gertrude BURGE of
Shade Valley, Pa., and Mrs. Blanche BECKENBAUGH of Shippensburg also forty
seven grandchildren and thirty seven great grandchildren.  Six grandsons
bore the remains to the last resting place.  It is wonderful how God will
answer prayer, she always prayed that God would take her before she heard it
said she was old and in the way.  She often visited the vacant place beside
her husband and would say it will soon be filled.  She lived through the
Civil war so we know she had quite a lot of hardships to endure.

In memory of Mr. Emanuel BOOZEL, who died December 25, 1918, at the age of
71 years and 11 months.  Mr. Boozel was a soldier of the Civil War.
Dear Papa, we never can see your smiling face.  This world has no smile,
only gloom; It is not our will, but thine be done.  Life is very sweet, but
his life was miserable; it was short: at least he kept his faith, never was
discouraged; always patient.  He joined the German Baptist church when a
young man and kept his faith to the end.  Let us rather re-dedicate our live
to the Kingdom of Christ, carrying forward to the best of our ability the
work which he served, the cause which he has realized in his own life.
Psalm 17:15 "I will behold thy face in righteousness; I shall be satisfied
when I awake, with thy likeness:  O sweet and blessed country, the home of
God's elect; O Sweet and blessed country, that eager hearts expect.  Jesus
in mercy bring us to that dear land of rest.  Who are with God the Father
and Spirit ever blest.

who resides with her daughter, Mrs. Pearl SWIGART in the Wiley apartments,
Shirley street, celebrated her ninetieth birthday anniversary, on February
6, 1928.
Mrs PARSONS is said to be the oldest woman in this city and is perhaps the
most remarkable one.  She never misses a church services unless hindered by
illness, and she is seldom ill.  She knits, spins, sews, entertains friends,
has a keen mind, is able to give the history of people and events happening
since her early childhood, and enjoys life in general.
Mrs. PARSONS does not use spectacles except when she does very fine needle
work and in threading a needle.  She is the mother of a large family of sons
and daughters, twelve in all.  She was twice married.  Both husbands are
deceased.  Mr. Parsons dying in 1911, She has been a devoted member of the
United Brethren church, for seventy-five years, and believes in shouting if
you feel like it.
Mrs. Parsons wonders to her family how it feels to be old.  She says at her
age she does not feel much different than when much younger.  The only
change noticeable to her is that she cannot lift as heavily as when she was
much younger.
Mrs. Parsons was the happiest in the group entertained by Mrs. SWIGART and
her daughter, Miss Dorothy SWIGART, at a surprise, on Monday evening
February 6th, and cut the large birthday cake baked by her daughter, Mrs.

On Sunday afternoon last, Nov. 12, 1922, about 4 o'clock, Mrs. R. E.
PETERSON of Mount Union was instantly killed in an automobile accident which
occurred about a mile from Waterfall, Fulton County.  Mr. PETERSON, his wife
and three daughters, Verna, Lila and Fay, left home shortly after dinner
Sunday for a ride.  In rounding a sharp curve near Waterfall the steering
gear locked, and unable to straighten up the car on the road, it
accidentally went through a wire fence and down over a 10 foot embankment,
the car turning turtle and pinning the occupants underneath.  Mrs. Peterson
was killed instantly, not having spoken a word after the accident.  She was
in the front seat with her husband.  The three daughters were in the rear
seat.  The occupants of the car were unable to get out from under the
automobile until some neighbors and persons from cars which followed lifted
the wrecked automobile and thus extricated the passengers.  There was a farm
house just close by, probably a quarter of a mile from the scene of the
accident, and several persons who were outside of this farm house were
witnesses of the accident.  Mr. Peterson was driving slowly, not more than
15 miles an hour when the accident occurred.  The news of the death of the
Mrs. Peterson reached Mount Union by telephone shortly after it occurred and
not only the immediate neighborhood but the whole community was shocked by
the sad message.  Dean PETERSON and Fred PETERSON, two sons of the deceased
woman, and employees of the Mount Union post office, left immediately for
the scene of the wreck.  Undertaker Barben was also summoned and the body
was brought into Mount Union on Sunday night about 10 o'clock and taken to
the Barben rooms for preparation for burial. The three daughters, Verna,
Lila, and Fay, who were riding in the back seat of the car suffered some
bruises and scratches but were not seriously hurt.  Mr. Peterson himself
also suffers from ----------------.
Mrs. PETERSON before marriage was Miss Dora Elizabeth APPLEBY of Shade Gap,
Pa.  She was a daughter of J. Dorris and Bennett (HARPER) APPLEBY.  The
father was a justice of the peace for many years and was well known
throughout the lower end of the county.  She was one of a family of three
sons and two daughters, and surviving her are the following brothers: Miles
APPLEBY of Newton Hamilton; Frank APPLEBY of Fort Louden; J. A. APPLEBY, of
Chicago, Illinois, and Speer APPLEBY of Altoona.  One sister survives; Mrs.
Jane CREE of Neelyton.
Deceased was born in Shade Gap on August 6, 1864 and was aged a little over
58 years. She was married on October 30, 1890 to Robert Elmer PETERSON and
to this union the following children were born: Merrill of Pittsburgh; Dean,
Fred, and Max of Mount Union; Verna, Lila and Fay, also at home.  After
marriage Mr. and Mrs. Peterson took up residence in Altoona where they
resided until 1910, when they came to Mount Union to live.  They have been
residents of our city for 12 years. Mrs. Peterson came from a well known and
prominent family.  She united with the Presbyterian church in girlhood and
had been a faithful member of that denomination up until the time of her
death.
The TIMES extends sympathy to the family and friends of the deceased in
their sad bereavement.  The community loses in her death.  A faithful wife
and mother has suddenly been taken from the home.
It is presumed that the cause of her instant death was that her neck was
broken in the accident.  Those who lifted the car from the passengers
claimed that one of the front doors on the body of the car had fallen across
Mrs. Peterson's neck.  The car was not seriously damaged other than the top
which was entirely demolished.  The car turned completely upside down.

Martinsburg, Pa. Oct. 4-On Thursday, October 4th, at 3:15 p.m. the death
angel entered our midst and summoned our much esteemed and well known
citizen, William C. HUNTSMAN from out midst, his death being attributed to
heart failure.  Mr. HUNTSMAN was in failing health for the past few months
but his condition was not considered critical until a week prior to his
death, he being confined to his bed but a few days, thus reminding us
forcefully of the words of the poet: There is a Reaper whose name is Death
and with his sickle keen He reaps the bearded grain at a breath and the
flowers that grow between.
The deceased was born at Cora, Huntingdon county, April 13, 1855, a son of
Mr. and Mrs. William HUNTSMAN, both of whom died when he was but a child.
He was reared to manhood in Hill Valley in the home of Joseph Price.  He
found his companion for life in the person of  Anna Elizabeth CHILCOTE, they
being married fifty years January last.  The earlier years of their married
life were spent in Huntingdon county.  Some twenty years ago, he with his
wife and ten children became residents of North Woodbury township, Blair
County, where he was actively engaged in farming until the time of his
illness.  He was a kind and devoted husband and father who manifested a deep
interest in the welfare of his children, nothing being too hard for him to
do when duty called him.  He was tenderly and sympathetically cared for by
his wife and children who did everything they could to comfort him during
his illness.
Mr. HUNTSMAN will be sadly missed in his home  and community and
particularly in the homes of his children, where he was wont to go in and
out, ready and willing to give service, none being too humble for him to
perform; but while we mourn his passing we feel that out loss is his gain
and assuredly feel that God knoweth best and doeth all things well.  Being
blessed with an unfailing memory, he could remember incidents and relate
happenings of years ago better than most of us of younger years.
His mind was clear and not long before his departure he called to his
bedside his children, to whom, with their mother, he imparted the
arrangements he had made for his being laid away: this was a sad hour for
his fmily yet with eyes undimmed by tears and in a clear voice he spoke to
them words which shall never be forgotten.  It seemed tht unusual strength
was given hm at htis particular time to give them these parting words.  He
was a close student of the Bible and was for --------------------------.
Surviving are his wife and these children: Mrs. J. B. EBERSOLE, Mrs. C. B.
BRUMBAUGH, Emery T. HUNTSMAN and Mrs. C. M. RHODES, all of Martinsburg, R.D.
No. 1; Abram HUNTSMAN of Waterstreet and Enoch, William and Frank of
Martinsburg, R.D.  Two daughters, Beulah Rebecca and Mrs. Lena DILLING
preceded him to the spirit world.  Thirty-four grandchildren also survive.
On Sunday afternoon, October 7th, at 2:30 o'clock, funeral services were
held in the Martinsburg Church of the Brethren where a large concourse of
friends gathered to pay their last tributes of respect.
The Rev. W. S. LONG of Altoona, officiated at these services, assisted by
Rev. D. B. DETWILER of New Enterprise and Rev. F. R. ZOOK of Martinsburg.
Rev. LONG, a former resident of Hill Valley and a friend of Mr. HUNTSMAN
used as his sermon text, Hebrews 4:9, this Scripture being selected by the
deceased.  He spoke reminescently of bygone days and then in a forceful way
of the "Rest" that remaineth for the people of God.
Hymns, chose by the deceased, for this occasion were beautifully sung and as
the sun was sinking in the west, he was laid to rest in the Fairview
cemetery at Martinsburg.  We believe he is enjoying that rest and could not
wish him here amid the labors and trials o this earth.
Thus has ended the lfe of a father whose Christian character shall long live
to influence those who loved and knew him.
