| 1116 | MISS FRANCES STRINE, LIFELONG RESIDENT OF MILTON, IS DEAD She was Born Here April 13, 1833, the Daughter of William and Jane Strine, Early Settlers of Milton In Millinery Business With Sister Nearly Half a Century The death of Miss Frances Patterson Strine yesterday at her home on Walnut Street took from Milton one of her pioneer residents. Born April 13, 1833, the daughter of William and Jane Strine, she lived her entire life here. Her parents were among the early settlers of Milton. Miss Strine had been in failing health for some time, due to her advanced age. A week ago she suffered a slight paralytic stroke from which she never recovered, remaining in a semi-conscious condition until yesterday, when she quietly slept away. Miss Strine and her sister, Mrs. Kate Hause, the only surviving member of the family, resided on Walnut Street. For nearly half a century the two sisters were engaged in the millinery business in Milton. Their store was located at the corner of Broadway and Front Streets, where the Realty building now stands, until the Milton Fire, in 1880. From that time until they retired from business their store was in the building now occupied by the Y.M.C.A. There were five brothers in the family, all of whom responded to the call to the colors during the Civil War. One brother, Robert, was killed in this conflict. The funeral will be held from the home on Walnut Street on Monday afternoon and will be in charge of Rev. J.V. Adams, pastor of the Methodist Church. Interment will be made in the Milton Cemetery.

| 1117 | MISS MARGARET McCORMICK HULL, one of Milton's most estimable ladies, is a descendant of one of the early settlers of Northumberland County. She was born in Washingtonville, Montour County, and is a daughter of the late and greatly esteemed Dr. Thomas R. Hull, who was born near Milton, in Turbot township, February 19, 1815. Her grandfather, William Hull, one of the early settlers of Turbot township, Northumberland County, Pa., was born in Sussex County, N. J., July 17, 1771. William Hull was a direct descendant of Benjamin Hull, whom tradition says was a Frenchman, who came to America and settled in Massachusetts in 1640. Later he went to Sussex County, N. J., being among the earliest settlers of that county. His son, Benjamin, lived near Newton, Hampton township, Sussex County, N. J., for many years on the farm his father settled; this estate was known later as the Bale farm. Benjamin's son, John, settled in Wallpack township, Sussex County, N. J., when his son Benjamin was ten years old. Benjamin Hull, son of the Benjamin named above, resided in Sussex County, N. J., near Newton, and there married Anna Duer. There they continued to live, and to them were born the following children: Charity (Jones); Nancy (Bell); Sarah (Kays); Mary (Morris); Rhoda (Ryerson); Elizabeth (Ryerson); Martha (Young); Ruth (Hopkins); John, who married Margaret Lantz; Benjamin, who married Elizabeth Case; Phoebe (Warfesse); William, our subject's grandfather; and Dorcas (Price). William Hull, the grandfather of our subject, settled in Northumberland County, Pa., before 1800, where he married on January 12, 1797, Hannah Marr, a daughter of Joseph Marr. She was born March 23, 1777, and died February 10, 1858, surviving her husband thirty years. They were the parents of fourteen children, but only nine of these grew to maturity. The names of the nine were: Susan, who married Samuel McCarthy; Elizabeth; Jesse; David; Alem; William P.; Thomas R., our subject's father; Sarah A., who married J. H. Brown; and Hannah, who married Robert M. Slater. Mr. Hull lived near Milton with his large family on a farm now owned by Mr. Grosh, and the buildings standing today are monuments of his energy and industry, and the fine estate which he left is an indication of his financial success. Dr. Thomas R. Hull, our subject's father, was reared on a farm and attended the Milton Academy. Choosing the profession of medicine, he became a student under the instruction of Drs. James S. Dougal and William McCleery, and was graduated from Jefferson Medical College in 1838. As Washingtonville, Montour County, was a flourishing borough and near the place of his nativity, he chose that place in which to begin his professional career. Being thoroughly prepared for his life work, and with abilities beyond the average, he soon established a reputation second to none in the surrounding country, and his practice extended for many miles in every direction. The arduous life of a physician, who has a large practice, sooner or later brings exhaustion, and this exhaustion Dr. Hull began to feel in 1861, when he sold his practice and removed to Milton with the intention of retiring; but, as his services were eagerly sought, he would never refuse a call of distress so long as he lived. He was a true man. His generous, kind and affectionate nature won for him many friends, who deeply felt the loss of his valuable life when he was taken from their midst. During his later years he was financially interested with his son, William Hull, of Milton, in the coal and grain business. Dr. Hull was married, February 23, 1843, to Elizabeth McCormick, who survived her husband several years. They were the parents of six children, the eldest being our subject, Margaret McCormick, the others being as follows: William, now living in Philadelphia; Alem P. is a physician practicing in Montgomery County; Thomas R., of Milton; Harry B., an attorney of Grand Rapids, Mich.; and Elmer S., a physician who married Mary E. Weimer, by whom he has three children - Elmer E., Alem P., and Edwin Weimer. Miss Margaret McCormick Hull lives at Milton in the residence purchased by her father, Dr. Hull. It was the Hayes property and was formerly called the McCurly Hotel, which, after being enlarged and improved, makes a home worthy of the highly respected subject of this sketch. | HULL, Margaretta McCormick (I539)

| 1125 | Mrs. Mary J. Evans, wife of John Evans, died of pneumonia Thursday, March 17, aged 73 years, and was buried in Circle Hill Cemetery Sunday at 4 o’clock. Mrs. Evans’ illness became serious about three weeks ago, since which time she became gradually weaker until on Thursday the Grim Reaper visited the well known Evans home. The funeral services which were held at the late home on West Mahoning street at 8 o'clock, Sunday afternoon, were attended by a large number of relatives and friends. Rev. R. L. Irving, pastor of the church of which she had been a member for so many years, assisted by Rev. Hartman, a former pastor, who came from Leroy, Illinois, voluntarily, to attend the funeral of one of his most valued friends. In his address Rev. Hartman spoke earnestly of Mrs. Evans’ long and faithful services for God and humanity, “To be born, reared, married, live to the age of seventy-three years and die so warmly esteemed by such a large circle of friends, in the city of one’s birth, said he “is a compliment but a rare few enjoy. Mrs. Evans, in her early married life united with the Cumberland Presbyterian church of this city, in which communion she lived the remainder of her life, prayerful, watchful, devoted member. In her religious life, Mrs. Evans was intellectual rather than emotional, a disciple of deeds rather than sentiments. But it was in her home where her graces showed the brightest, ever loved most by those who knew her best. Cultured, refined, and devoted, her voice was the music of kindliness and her ministries the benedictions of love. With the sacrificial spirit of the tenderest and best of mothers, she gave, without reserve, her labors, her love, her life, for her children. In watchful and peaceful submission she had lived long, that when death came it brought no alarm, for it found her with her ready lamps trimmed and burning. Ready and waiting, the Master called, and she ascended to join the loved one waiting her in the bright beyond.” The deceased was the oldest daughter of John Drum, one of the early settler of Punxsutawney. She first saw the light of day in this city October 13, 1830, and at the time of her death was the oldest resident who was born and reared within the present limits of Punxsutawney. On December 20, 1848 she was married to John Evans and on March 27, 1850, she and her husband moved into the house where they have lived ever since and where all of her children, eleven in number, were born. She is survived by her husband and eight children, namely: Mrs. William P. Hastings, of Milton, Pa.; Mrs. Rev. H. W. Millen, of Scottdale, Pa., Mrs. John C. Clawson, Mrs. A. B. White, J. H. and John D. Evans, and Miss Martha R. Evans, of this place, and Mrs. J. A. Dinsmore, of Pittsburg. She is also survived by 27 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Mrs. R. C.

| 1128 | Mrs. Sarah Young. In these progressive days it occasions no surprise to find a woman filling successfully a prominent place in the business world, and the subject of this biography, a wealthy resident of Buffalo township, Union county, sustains a high reputation for sagacity and enterprise, her fine estate near Cowan being one of the best in the locality. She is the widow of the late Adam Young, who passed away October 8, 1872, leaving a large fortune, and since 1873 she has occupied her present home, where she has made all the improvements including the tasteful and commodious residence, built in 1882. Two daughters: Ida M., born September 19, 1968, and Nora M., born May 8, 1870, reside with her and seem to have inherited her business talent. A son, Martin R., born August 24, 1871, died in his eighteenth year. The family is identified with the Reformed Church, Mrs. Young and both her daughters taking an active part in the various lines of work carried on by the society. Mrs. Young was born April 11, 1843, in Buffalo township, the daughter of Abraham and Mary (Young) Spigelmeyer. She was reared in the same locality, receiving a common-school education, and her marriage to Mr. Young occurred June 13, 1867. On the paternal side she is descended from an old Berks county family, but her grandparents, Henry and Catherine Spigelmeyer, removed to Snyder county early in the present century. Her father was born August 6,1806, in Berks county, and was the seventh son and youngest child in a family of eight. Coming to this section in boyhood, he learned the miller's trade at New Berlin, and after working for some time for various employers, he and his father-in-law purchased a gristmill at Farmersville, now Cowan, which he operated during the remainder of his life. He died suddenly on August 30, 1862, his remains being interred in Dreisbach cemetery. For some years prior to his death he held the office of elder in the Reformed Church, of which he had long been an active member. He sympathized with the anti-slavery movement and the Republican party, but deprecated the use of force and did not vote in 1860, believing that Lincoln's election would precipitate war. On April 21, 1842 he was married to Miss Mary Young, who was born in Buffalo township, May 21, 1821, the daughter of Abraham and Mary Catherine (Reidy) Young. Mr. Young was a shrewd, enterprising business man, and, in addition to his work as a carpenter and builder, conducted a sawmill and the gristmill above mentioned. He was a stanch Democrat, and at one time was asked to become a candidate for the Legislature, but declined. Of his eleven children, three sons and six daughters lived to adult age. | SPIGELMEYER, Sarah (I10622)

| 1135 | Nothing definite is known regarding the place of birth or the early life of James Hammond, but it is highly probable that he was descended from one of the Hammond families which emigrated from England to the New England colonies at an early period. He was a farmer by occupation and they resided on a farm in Turbot (now Delaware) township, Northumberland county, on the road now leading from Dewart to Watsontown. About the year 1799 they removed across the Susquehanna, to White Deer Valley, where they acquired considerable property, and where they continued to reside during the remainder of their lives. Mr. Hammond was one of the company commanded by Hawkins Boone, which went from Boone's Fort, on Muddy Run, July 29, 1778, to the relief of Fort Freeland, on Warrior Run, Northumberland county, when it had been attacked by the British and Indians; and he was one of the few of that heroic band who escaped death. For several years previous to his death he was afflicted with paralysis, which was eventually the cause of his death, February 20, 1831. His remains are buried beside those of his wife, in the cemetery at the Stone church. They were Presbyterians, and for several years attended the Warrior Run church, where they, together with John Brown, Esq., and George Hammond occupied a pew for which they paid an annual rental of one pound fourteen shillings and sixpence. They afterwards united with the congregation of the Log church, which occupied the site of the present stone structure on the south side of Penny Hill in White Deer Valley. Mr.Hammond was an elder of the Log church. | HAMMOND, James Jr. (I7178)

| 1137 | Obituary Thomas Strine, Senior Editor of This Paper The clock in the belfry of the Presbyterian Church had barely struck three, on Friday afternoon last, when the final pulsation beat out the mortality of him whose life blood has been slowly ebbing away for the past half year. In a measure anticipated, and yet with hope for recovery, this community was startled at the announcement. As a blight on the fruits and flowers, so death, the stranger to no one, cast a gloom and sorrow, echoed alone by the sympathetic throbs in the breasts of many of his friends. It is both a pitable and lamentable sight to see a good, brave, industrious and genial man cut down in his prime, and more is the pity when, after a long and faithful toil at his profession, he begins to reach his goal of his peace and happiness, and not only he, but his friends as well, see him established and on the fair way to benefit himself and do good to the community he lives in; to see him rise with honor in his own land. Thomas Strine was born in Milton, November 20, 1837; he died August 17, 1883, aged 45 years, 9 months and 3 days. In addition to his father and mother, his family, with himself, consisted of five brothers and four sisters. His father and two brothers have preceded him to the grave, the youngest brother, Robert, being killed in the late civil war. The remainder survive him. Somewhat less than a decade ago he was united in marriage to Miss Anna M. Rhawn, daughter of Mrs. Mary Rhawn of this place; their married life was of short existence, she soon after dying. May the peace and happiness that crowned their lives in there brief unity as mortals, be continued in immortality. After finishing his education at the public schools here, he betook himself to the art of printing, at quite an early age, under the tutelage of Col. V. Best, of Danville, at that time, editor of the Intelligencer, published at that place. Few men were equal or excelled him in the practical part of his profession; he had made a most thorough and complete study of the art and was thereby capable of filling any position in the office. As a compositor he was rapid and his job work was always known by the very great taste displayed, and for the accuracy of its arrangement. In his early years he acquainted himself with the minutive of the cases and acquired a very varied experience: his early life as a typo was full of many notable incidents, of which it was always a pleasure to hear him relate. On the 22d of October, 1880, he became senior editor and partner of The Miltonian. When the late civil war broke out he was among the first to leave his case and enlist in the cause. He was recruited at Williamsport, at which place he was living, on July 29, 1861, in Company "G", Eighth Pennsylvania Calvary, 89th regiment. It was a regiment noted for great bravery and did excellent service. It was engaged in several battles of Fair Oaks, Chancellorsville, Wilderness and others, and took part in the celebrated raid against the whole army of Jackson, and finding themselves greatly overpowered, they escaped with considerable decrease in numbers, through the tactics of their leader, Major Keenan. On account of serious loss in the regiment, he was transferred to Company "M", 161st regiment, P.V., on July 24, 1865, in which he served until the close of the war. Whether in camp or on the field, he was distinguished for his genial manners and courageous conduct. His funeral, which occurred on Monday last at 3 p.m., was attended by a large concourse of relatives and friends. He was buried with military honors. Henry Wilson Post, G.A.R., of which he was a member, Dougal Guards, and the Sons of Veterans escorted his remains to the place of interment and held appropriate services at the grave. As a citizen Mr. Strine was held in high esteem by all who knew him. Where ever he journeyed he was quick to make friends, of which he had hosts. His friendships, though quickly established, were lasting and cherished. His genial smile, plesant voice and healthy manner attracted everyone to him. It was his nature to be benign, and his gracious treatment left him without enemies and endeared him to everyone. His disease, encysted aneurism of the aorta, that battled the skill of noted physicians, was incurable. He bore his sickness with meekness and fortitude. By his death we lose a warm friend, a pleasant associate in business and an industrious worker in his profession. Without him in person it will be pleasant to have him in memory. He sleeps in peaceful slumber. The Miltonian, August 24, 1883, Page 3 | STRINE, Thomas Patterson (I2685)

| 1138 | OBITUARY William Strine On Friday evening about 8 o'clock, Mr. Wm. Strine, died at the home of his mother on Walnut Street, of apoplexy. He left his room where he had been passing the day, about 3 o'clock and having eaten a hearty meal returned thereto and laid himself down on his bed to rest. Some time after his sister hearing a noise, went to his room and found him lying on the floor in a semi unconscious condition. His physician was summoned and remained with him to the time of his death. Mr. Strine was one of a large family of brothers and sisters who were born and raised in our midst. Four sisters, mother and one brother survive him. His father and three brothers have been some time dead. When at the outbreak of the war a call was made for troops he was one of the first from this section to answer the call to arms. He enlisted in Capt. Jno. McCleery's Company H. 5th Penna. Reserves, was sworn into the State service in May 1861, and went with his command to West Virginia. Returning to Washington, he was sworn into the U.S. service June 21, 1861. He was engaged in the seven days fight under McClellan in front of Richmond, and at Charles City X Roads he voluntarily remained with his Captain who had been wounded and with him was taken to Libby Prison. After the Captain was exchanged, Mr. Strine was taken to Belle Isle and suffering the hardship of prison life for several months he was exchanged and having returned home was ordered back to his regiment in the spring of 1863. After his return to the front he took part in all the engagements of his regiment until the expiration of his term of enlistment, June 21, 1864. As Company Clerk which duty he performed for a time he kept admirable records. He received an appointment under the Penna. Railroad Co., as clerk for headquarters at Erie and having given general satisfaction to his superiors quit the service of that corporation on account of failing eyesight, and since his return to Milton, his chief occupation has been that of restauranteur. Mr. Strine had a great fondness for newspaper work and rendered much assistance to us in the collection of local news at the time his brother was a partner in the business. He had a most excellent disposition, a kind word for everybody, and we believe was without an enemy in the world. And so has passed away one whose virtues will always be remembered while his faults, if any he had, are already forgotten. The Miltonian, March 5, 1886, Page 3 | STRINE, William Forrest Jr. (I2684)

| 1139 | On April 1, 1863, Samuel Hepburn and wife conveyed to William C. Lawson, William Heinen and Edward W. Chapin his farm containing eighty-three acres and 112 perches, situated just east of what was then the borough of Milton and south of Broadway. This land was first opened for building purposes by the laying out of what is now known as Centre street. Mr. Chapin took part of the land on the south side of Centre street for his share in the property, and conveyed his interest in the balance to Messrs. Heinen and Lawson. Mr. Chapin subsequently laid his part of the land out in town lots. Messrs. Lewis H. Funk, Reuben Etzler and William Mervine purchased a part of the land north of Centre street, just east of the Pennsylvania railroad right of way, which they laid out in town lots. | MERVINE, William McKinley (I3052)

| 1140 | On Front or Mill St. (now Arch St.) from Pine Alley to Walnut St. was the pottery of Jacob Bastian. He occupied that site from the late 1820's until his death on April 1, 1858. The pottery was then bought by William Freed and Francis H. Shearer, who operated it until 1865, when they sold it to the German Reformed church. In 1834, he bought 2 acres, 84 perches in Turbot Twp., which was probably the source of wood for his kiln. The location of the pottery later became the site of the German Reformed Church (formerly part of the Harmony Church) which is now the St. John's United Church of Christ. | BASTIAN, Jacob (I2881)

Hackenberg, who is a native of Freeburg, Snyder Co., Pa., and was born in 1838. He graduated at the Union Law School at Easton, Pa., Aug. 19th, 1856, and was admitted to the Easton bar, where he practiced for a short time, and from there removed to Columbia, Lancaster Co., Pa., where he practiced about ten years, when his health failed him, and he removed to the West. He did not remain there long, however, but returned to his native State and resumed the practice of his profession in the borough of Milton, Penna., in which he still continues. In 1880 he took in with him his son, W. H. Hackenberg, as a law partner. He is universally esteemed for his many excellent qualities, and enjoys a large and lucrative practice. | HACKENBERG, Peter Lawrence (I210)

| 1146 | Professor of Psychology (1951-1971) Presented: October 19, 1993, by George Gescheider, professor of psychology Charles Augustus Godcharles was born on October 17, 1905, in Milton, Pa. He attended Milton schools and Stauton Military Academy in Virginia, graduated from Bucknell University in 1931, and earned his Ph.D. in philosophy from Duke University in 1937. He joined the Hamilton faculty in 1951 after having taught at Bucknell University, Millikin University, Union College and Davidson College. At Hamilton, Charlie’s best strength as a teacher came from his belief that students learn psychology best by becoming actively involved in laboratory work. This approach was most clearly evident in the department’s introductory course, Principles in Psychology, consisting of weekly laboratory in addition to the traditional lectures. The laboratory work ranged from experiments in which the student learned principles of conditioning by observing the behavior of his own laboratory animal in a Skinner box to those in which the subtleties of memory were examined as he and his fellow students learned lists of verbal material presented sequentially on a memory drum. Fundamentally the approach was to present psychology as an experimental science, one in which observation and measurement form the basis for discovering the lawfulness of behavior. Under Charlie’s careful guidance as chairman from 1951 to 1970, the experimental laboratory approach to psychology was eventually extended to nearly every course in the department. Charlie worked hard to secure funding from the National Science Foundation to provide each laboratory with the needed equipment for conducting the basic experiments in areas such as conditioning, perception, human memory and social behavior. The excitement generated in studies was highly gratifying to Charlie and the other members of the department. It was not unusual in those days to find students working independently on various laboratory projects at all hours of the day and night, even during vacations. Many of Charlie’s students who graduated from Hamilton have become prominent psychologists. Whether his students are working today as psychologists or are in other fields, they will remember him, as will members of this faculty who knew him, as a devoted teacher with a vision about the beauty of psychology as an experimental science presented to students in the context of the liberating arts. Over forty years ago, Charlie Godcharles laid the cornerstone of a program that eventually was to become recognized as one of the country’s best small college undergraduate programs in psychology. In 1982, we recognized his enduring contributions to our Psychology Department by naming a seminar room in the Science Building the “Godcharles” room. Today we again recognize Charlie’s accomplishments and honor his memory with this minute to become a permanent record of the meeting. | GODCHARLES, Charles Augustus (I1930)
