Sudden Death.
Mrs. Wm. H. Brunner, of Centre township, was stricken with paralysis Saturday
morning and died in a few hours thereafter without regaining consciousness.
Mrs. Brunner had arisen at the usual hour and milked the cows, and upon
returning to the house while standing near the stove complained of a severe pain
in her head. Her daughter, who was preparing breakfast, at the mother's request
went up stairs for a stimulant and told Mr. Brunner, who was ill in bed with a
severe cold, about the condition of his wife. He quickly arose and went down
stairs and asked her how she felt and she said she suffered severe pain in the
head. He said he would assist her to a couch in the next room where she could
lie down, but she replied she could walk there. Upon going to the couch she
asked them to bring her the camphor bottle and sank into unconsciousness. Dr.
Moore was quickly summoned and soon arrived, but the unfortunate woman was
beyond all earthly help and gradually passed peacefully away.
The deceased was the daughter of the late Samuel Messimer and wife, of this
place, and was born Nov. 9, 1851, and at the time of her death was consequently
aged 52 years 9 months and 18 days. She passed all her days in this vicinity,
and November, 1871, she was joined in wedlock with Wm. H. Brunner, of Centre
township. From this union there resulted ten children: Samuel, Eliza, David,
Florence, William, Annie, Ida, Frank, Roy, Mary - who died when a girl. All
reside in this county, most of them Centre township, except David, who lives in
Cottage Grove, Indiana. She is survived by the following brothers and sisters:
George Messimer, of Lewistown, Pa.; Jesse, of this place, and William, at near
Millerstown; Mrs. V. B. Clark, of Centre township; Mrs. Michael S. Brown, of
Newport; Mrs. Ellen Boone, of Harrisburg; Mrs. Elizabeth Smith, of Illinois.
Mrs. Brunner was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, and a thoughtful
neighbor and friend, and her sudden death is a severe blow to her husband and
children, to whom she was devoted, as well as to her brothers and sisters.
The funeral was held from her late residence at 10 o'clock, Tuesday morning.],
Rev. . L. House officiating. Interment in the cemetery, this place. The
funeral was one of the largest ever seen in this section.

Death of Mrs. George A. Rouse.
The sad intelligence reached this place Wednesday that Mrs. George A. Rouse,
of this place, had died at the residence of her father, in Hublersburg, Centre
county, from typhoid fever, on the above morning at 2 o'clock. She was aged
about 33 years.
Some six weeks ago Mrs. Rouse received word that typhoid fever had seized
members of her brother's family at Hublersburg, Center Co., Pa. She immediately
went to administer to their wants, and successfully nursed her sister,
brother-in-law and nephew, who are now convalescent. She was stricken with the
insidious disease and was apparently improving rapidly when she was seized with
a hemorrhage, her death resulting soon after - on the twenty-second day after her
seizure by the disease.
The deceased was the daughter of Edward and Sabina Bergstresser, and was born
and raised in Hublersburg. She was married to Geo. A. Rouse, "deceased, in
October, 1900, and made her home in this place, where she was most highly
esteemed by all who knew her, her kind and gracious manners winning all with
whom she came in contact. Her death is a severe stroke to her parents and
relatives as well as to her brother-in-law, Chas. H. Rouse, of this place, with
whom she had resided since her husband's death, April 16, 1904.
Her parents, two sisters and a brother survive her. Her remains were interred
at Hublersburg, Friday morning.

Death of former Perry Countian.

34 years, 1 month and 13 days.
James C. Matlack was born at Dellville, Perry county, Pa., in 1870 and was a

years ago. He had been suffering for a time with lung trouble and rheumatism,
and was advised by his physician to go to Colorado, which he did July 5, 104.
The lung trouble immediately began to improve, while the rheumatism grew worse.
An abscess formed in his side, broke and overflowed the heart, which had been
previously weakened by the high altitude. After a week of intense suffering he
passed to rest at midnight of the 15th inst. The remains were brought to
Illinois, accompanied by T. C. Matlack, of Grand Junction, and interred at the
North Waterman cemetery at 3 o'clock p.m., Friday, August 19. One brother, four

Meetch - Darlington
At high noon to-day (Tuesday), H. W. Meetch, of Millersburg, and Miss Mary A.,
second daughter of John C. and Elizabeth Darlington, of this place, were joined
in wedlock, at the residence of the bride, by Rev. I. Potter Hayes, of the
Presbyterian church. The wedding was private, only the immediate relatives and
a few friends being present.

manner, and is popular in our social circles. The groom is prominently
connected with the Perry Lumber Co., and has been its manager since its
organization. He is the only son of W. B. Meetch, Esq., of Millersburg,
prominent in the political circles of the State.

Exposition they will meet up with a party composed of W. B. Meetch, J. H. Stroup
and families will proceed to St. Paul, and west to Yellowstone Park and later
will hunt in Idaho and return through the scenic route of Colorado.
Upon their return Mr. And Mrs. Meetch will take up their residence at New
Germantown.
We extend our best wishes for long life, happiness and prosperity.

BARN BURNED. - The large barn on the farm of John R. Adams, adjoining this
borough on the west, was totally destroyed by fire early Wednesday morning of
last week with all its contents. The fire was discovered by Wm. Hoffman, one of
the farmers, who gave the alarm and aroused Wm. Page, who lives in the same
house. The neighborhood was aroused, but could save nothing, and only by an
efficient bucket brigade was the house saved. When discovered by Hoffman the
whole roof was in a blaze, and the fire was coming out the stable doors, thus
preventing any attempt to save the live stock, which were burned to death,
including four mules, a colt and two calves. In addition there was consumed
over 500 bushels of wheat, 100 bushels being threshed; 500 bushels of oats, 60
tons of hay, wagon, binder, mower, horse rake, drill, gears, and practically all
the implements used on a well-stocked farm. A large hog pen adjoining the barn
took fire and was destroyed. The loss is estimated at nearly $4000, with
possibly one-third insurance in the Perry county Company.
As to the origin of the fire there seems to be no doubt but that it was of
incendiary origin. It appeared to have been started in the southwest corner of
the barn - farthest away from the house. No fire nor light had been near the
building in the bands of the farmers. Spontaneous combustion is suggested, but
those who seem to know of the condition of the contents of the mow, declare it
could not possible been thus caused. Taken in connection with the incendiary
fire at Toomey's mill, the matter should be investigated.
