In what year this occurred is not known definitely. Mr. Weaver is classed among the residents of Straubstown in 1802, the number then being: eighteen, when the town was but six years old. As his name is dropped from the list afterwards, this or the following must have been the year when they located at Canton. At this place they lived until their demise.

| 296 | CLINTON COUNTY TIMES, OCTOBER 4, 1912, PAGE 1, ANOTHER GOOD CITIZEN GONE: Death Angel Calls E. E. Adams From Bed of Suffering After Long Illness. After suffering with a wasting illness for several months, the Death Angel called E. E. ADAMS to his eternal house on Tuesday afternoon at 2:40 o'clock and Lock Haven is again impoverished in the loss of one of its best citizens. Mr. ADAMS had been ailing for many months and finally his disease was diagnosed as cancer. An operation was performed at the Lock Haven Hospital last February and although he recovered so as to resume his business activities the disease slowly but surely sapped his life away. Although he knew of the coming end and that he had but a short time to live he went about his affairs with a degree of courage and fortitude that was inspiring to all who knew him. He stuck to his task with grim determination and only relinquished his hold upon the activities of life when his physique refused to obey his iron will. Mr. ADAMS was one of the best known men in the city and was universally admired for his integrity, his strength of character and his breadth of intellect, for he was one of the keenest men intellectually in this city. For more than 20 years he had been superintendent of the Sunday school of Trinity Methodist church and the success of the school in the matter of enrollment and efficiency are largely due to his earnest work. He was one of the best teachers in the city and had a surprising knowledge and group of religious truths. He was one of the most influential members of the official board of Trinity church and had been a member of the choir for a great many years, his bass voice having been heard frequently in sets and quartette work. He was a man of varied activities and everything he undertook to perform he did well. For several years he taught school in this city, after which he became bookkeeper for Charles KREAMER. From here he went with Furst & Whitaker and after the dissolution of the firm he remained with J. B. Furst as manager and salesman. In April he became general manager of the Eagle Brick Co., at Mill Hall, in which he was deeply interested and had effected a number of improvements in the conduct of the business. He was engaged in this work within a short time of his death. He served as a member of the Lock Haven Board of Education and was honored with the presidency. In all things he was faithful to his trust and he was one of the most useful citizens in the community. Elmer Ellsworth ADAMS was the son of John Q. and Hannah ADAMS, both deceased, was born at Highspire, Dauphin County, December 27, 1861, being almost 52 years old when he died. He came here with his parents in 1878 and was educate in the public school, after graduating from the academy at Berrysburg, Pa. He took a course in the Christine Business College, this city, and afterward taught school at Elmira, N.Y. In 1888 he was elected principal of the Fourth ward schools in this city, and after leaving the schools entered upon his business career with Charles KREAMER as bookkeeper. From May 1, 1901, until March 1, 1906, he was a partner in THE TIMES PRINTING CO. and his ability as a forceful writer was widely recognized. He was very active in the work of the County Babbath school association and had gone all over the county organizing teacher training classes. He was vice president of the organization. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Royal Arcanum and P.O.S. of A. He is survived by his wife and three children; two brothers, William O., of Hollins, Va.; Grant of Rochester Mills, Pa; and three sisters, Mrs. M.C. FARGUS, Miss Lillian and Mrs. E. A. BARTLETT, all of this city. Brief services were held at the house on West Bald Eagle Street on Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 and the remains were taken to Trinity Methodist Church where a public service was held. The church was filled with friends of the deceased and many children from the Sunday school were present to pay a mark of respect to their former superintendent. Rev. A. Lawrence MILLER, pastor of the church, conducted the services and the choir sang favorite hymns of the deceased. The pall bearers were J. R. STEVENSON, K.D. BATCHELER, H. E. FOX, E. S. LING, James SNYDER and O.D. BUSH. Interment in Highland Cemetery. (Provided by Find A Grave contributor McHunter45) | Adams, Elmer Ellsworth (I2760)

CHICAGO: J. H. BEERS & CO, 1898 514 COMMEMORATIVE BIOGRAPHICAL RECORD. BENJAMIN ROUSH, of Madisonburg, Centre county, is one of those wholesome, generous, sociable individuals to whom old age brings a strength of spirit and breadth of view which make youth, however beautiful and charming, seem crude and incomplete. Born July 19, 1820, in Washington township, Snyder (now Union) county, he has spent his entire life in the section to which this volume is devoted. Frederick Roush, his father, was born in Sny- der county, and made his home there until 1832, when with his wife, Dorothy Nogle, and their little family, he moved to Brush Valley, Centre county. He was a shoemaker by trade, and, after living for a time in a rented house in an- other part of Miles township, he settled in Madisonburg, where he continued his business until a few years before his death, which occurred when he was sixty-two years old; his wife lived to be ninety-three years old, and both are buried at Madisonburg. The father was a man of in- fluence among his associates, and was elected on the Democratic ticket to various township offices. Although a hard worker, he never accumulated much, his earnings sufficing only to give the family a comfortable living. He was a good-sized man, and enjoyed e.xcellent health previous to his last illness. In religious faith he and his wife were Lutherans, and for many years he held office in the Church, as deacon and elder. Their children were: (1) Catherine, now Mrs. Abraham Snyder, of Nittany Valley; (2) Benjamin, our subject; (3) Daniel, of Madisonburg; (4) Mary, who married John Smith, and died at Reedsville, Penn. ; (5) Louisa (Mrs. Noah Musser), who died in Half Moon Valley; (6) Elizabeth, widow of John Rachua, of Gregg township. Centre county; (7) Susannah, widow of Israel Vonada, of the same township; and (8) Henry, who died in Stephenson county, Illinois. Benjamin Roush spent his early years in the vicinity of Freeburg, Snyder county, and received such educational advantages as the schools of that locality then afforded. Under his father's instructions he became familiar with the details of the shoemaker's trade, which he followed until he was about twenty-five years old, saving from his wages $600. On March 13, 1849, he was married in Gregg township, Centre county, to Miss Margaret Hoy, the only child of John and Margaret Hoy. As his wife and her parents desired the family life to continue unbroken, Mr. Roush gave up his trade and be- came a farmer on the Hoy homestead, remaining there until 1880, when he moved to Madisonburg. He purchased a large stone house opposite the "Miller Hotel," and made his home there until after the death of his wife, which occurred May 30, 1889. She was a lady of fine Christian character, a devout member of the Reformed Church, and her death was deeply mourned by all who knew her. Five children survive her: John H. is a farmer in Gregg township. Centre county; Sarah J. married A. H. Vonada, of Miles township, Centre county; Mary A. married D. D. Royer, of the same township; Jeremiah L., a minister of the Reformed Church, resides in Pennsburg, Montgomery Co., Penn.; Emma J. married Jacob Deitrich, of Miles township, Centre county, and for some years Mr. Roush has lived at their pleasant home near Madisonburg. His sons and daughters have without exception taken honorable positions in life, and make a family of whom any parent would be proud. Few, if any, fathers in this section have contributed so liberally to start their children in life as has Mr. Roush, no less than $7,000 having been given to each as the time came to leave the home nest. Each has received a farm, and he has thus disposed of the five which he formerly owned. He believes that help should be given to the children while they are young and can benefit by it; and certainly the results justify the theory. Fortunately he still has plenty to keep "the wolf from the door," as he is yet rated among the wealthy men of the county. Mr. Roush has been an industrious worker and shrewd manager, and well deserves his suc- cess in life. His time has been given mainly to the care of the estates, but for three and one- half years he conducted a mercantile business in Madisonburg, having been obliged at one time to secure certain bail money for which he was liable by buying a stock of goods. Politically, he is a steadfast Democrat, and his fellow citizens have called him to the service of the community at different times as supervisor and school director. He has always been a cheerful giver to religious movements, and especially to the Reformed Church, in which he is at present a trustee. He was one of the building committee of two at the time the society built their church edifice at Madisonburg, and he gave liberally of both time and money to insure the success of the undertaking. | Roush, Benjamin (I1016)

| 300 | Commemorative biographical record of central Pennsylvania, J.H. Beers & Co., (Name: Beers & Co, 1898;). Anthony Bierly, Jr.,... was born September 8, 1787, and was but a child at the time of the removal to Centre county. He learned the blacksmith's trade in Aaronsburg, and followed it for many years in Brush Valley and later in Rebersburg. His parents were well-to-do, and gave a liberal start in life to all the other children; but owing to some misunderstanding he received but little if any assistance from them. He succeeded, however, and had an extensive business, employing several hands. Of large build and active temperament, he was capable of doing an immense amount of work; but although he made a great deal of money he never became wealthy, as his kind and generous disposition was often imposed upon to his loss. He was a stanch Democrat, and a leader in many local movements, serving for some time in the Home Militia as chief musician. In 1814 he married Miss Maria Kratzer, who was born near Shamokin, Penn., in February, 1793 and died February 9, 1860; his own death occurred July 18, 1857. Both were devout members of the Evangelical Church of Rebersburg, where their remains now rest. They had eight children, as follows: Meichoir, born July 20, 1815; John is a blacksmith at Tylersvilie, Penn.; William, born September 19, 1818, is a farmer and shoemaker at Rebersburg; Susan, born June 20, 1824, is now Mrs. Joseph Miller, of Rebersburg; Rachel, born in 1826, married Rev. George Young, an Evangelical minister, who died at Baltimore; George is a blacksmith and miller in Nittany Valley; Daniel, born September 9, 1828 (now deceased), was a blacksmith at Tylersvilie, and Joseph C., born February 22, 1834. | Bierly, Anthony (I617)
