Notes:

The death yesterday at 7 p.m. in the Williamsport Hospital of Guy H. Achenbach, 87, stirs a host of literally sweet memories about a man whose early career in Lock Haven was that of an ice cream manufacturer and confectioner, for many years. Mr. Achenbach, popular in many civic and social activities during his residence in Lock Haven, was proud of his skill in art sugar designing. His friends,
far and near, often had been treated to his elaborate confections on birthdays and anniversaries. Mr. Achenbach, whose roots were in Clinton County, had provided cakes for hundreds of the humble and the great, including one for the late Connie Mack on his birthday.Mr. Achenbach, had been a guest at Sycamore Manor, Williamsport, for the past two years of seriously declining health. He had returned to Lock Haven in 1962 from residence in Philadelphia and Florida. He made his home with his son, Col. Hall F. Achenbach, 426 West Main St. Guy Achenbach was born July 2,1881 in Topeka, Kansas, where
his father, Byron C. Achenbach was then residing. He was a son of a Sugar Valley family, however. His grandfather,George B. Achenbach, had been a Pennsylvania legislator, attending the Constitutional Convention on the Pennsylvania Constitution of 1874.In 1896 ,B. C Achenbach his father, established an ice cream and bakery business in Lock Haven, at East Main Street and Fallon Alley, which Guy Achenbach joined and later purchased, operating it as a leading business in Lock Haven until 1931. He continued his career specializing in catering and art sugar design work in Philadelhia for the next twenty years Then moved, in 1951, to St Petersburg, Fla. for ten years of further active retirement. He returned to Lock Haven to resume long-established associations here, as a charter member of the Lock Haven Rotary Club, and half-century member of Lafayette Lodge, F and A.M. He had belonged to Lafayette lodge 60 years at the time of his death. In July of 1962, when he was 81, the Lock Haven Rotary Club made him an honorary member. Mr. Achenbach's death leaves J. Woods Rich of Wool rich as the only living charter member of the Lock Haven Rotary Club. A source of great pride though little financial remuneration to Mr. Achenbach was his claim to having invented and named "cracker jack." As an apprentice to a Pittsburgh candy manufacturer when young man, he conceived the idea of putting sugar syrup on pop com, and called the product 'cracker jack." For his original recipe that was later developed into a popular confection, Mr. Achenbach received the munificent sum of $5. A man who enjoyed singing he had led music for man;groups, including the Rotary Luncheons. He was a member of St Luke's United Church of Christ, also the Knights Templar of Lock Haven. He was married to the former Anna Freed, whose death occurred in 1924. His son, a retired Air Fore officer and teacher in the Lock Haven High School, two grandchildren and four great grandchildren, are his immediate survivors.
