her residence in this community, Mrs. Bond made a host of friends. Enduring
herself to all who met her. She was a faithful member of the Methodist
Church and never failed to avail herself of an opportunity to serve God.
It really did seem as though a kind Providence guided her home to die among
her friends and amid scenes of happy days she had spent there. She was
visiting at the home of Marcus Pickett and family, calling on old neighbors
for the past two weeks when she was stricken with a shock, which resulted
in death Saturday, July 8, at 11:15 a.m. the day being the 48th anniversary
of the death of her first husband. She retained her habitual cheerfulness
until the very last returning Friday evening in the spirit. When she failed
to appear for breakfast as usual Mrs. Pickett went to her room and found
her unconscious. She at once summoned friends and the doctor, but nothing
could be done, and she never regained consciousness, but gently passed
on. Mrs. Bond is survived by her son Leon of Newark Valley N.Y., two sisters
near Millville, N.Y., and several nieces and nephews. Funeral services
were held July 10 at the Beaver Meadows Church. Reverend C L Andrews officiating
assisted by Mrs. Bonds nephew Reverend Richard Rinker of Pittston, with

Tribute to Grace:
Grace Estella SHARER Bennett was born the second child, first daughter of Llewellyn E. and Angeline Corby Sharer at Clapper Hill on May 1, 1906. She had an older brother Donald, who died on April 9, 1981, and a younger brother Walter, who died on September 6, 1998. Grace had two younger sisters. Ruth who married Wayne Bennett, she died after a difficult childbirth August 11, 1931, and her remaining sister Anna, resides on Spring Hill. She is the widow of Harry Cobb. Grace married Marion Bennett on May 17, 1927. Marion, the son of Norval and Lucy McLaud Bennett purchased a hillside farm on the Board Road in 1923. It is there, they began house keeping. She farmed right along beside her husband until they sold their farm to their son Dale, and his wife Donna about 1970. They then moved to Silvara. Grace and Marian were the parents of four children, Boyd born in 1928, Margene born in 1942, Dale born in 1943, and Dean born in 1946.
Grace began her association with the Beaver Meadows United Methodist Church at an early age, but as was the custom of the day, she was not baptized until an adult, and joined the church the same day May 10, 1931. In her younger years she served as organist, which was an elected position. She held various positions in Sabbath School. She was never officially elected as Historian, but recorded church history in a book kept in the sanctuary. She was secretary - treasurer of the church and held other offices. In the Ladies Aide she was also secretary - treasurer, taking over this position from her mother Angeline Sharer who died in 1948. She continued the job until 1997, quite a record. Grace not only served her church but her community too. She served as the Tuscarora Township auditor from 1960-1997. She was a great lady always ready to lend a helping hand. Many times Mary Schweitzer, Grace Bennett and Alice Sivers cleaned our church! A "Thank you Grace" is just not enough to say to some one who served our church like she did. If it needed doing, she did it without a qualm. On cold blustery day, March 10th, she was laid to rest beside her husband M. V. Bennett who had died on January 27, 1977. The ladies of the church served a lovely luncheon to the family following the committal service conducted by the Rev. William Nelson in the church cemetery. (Carol Hoose Brotzman, the church historian at that time recorded this commentary).

Whipple fatal
Head On Collision Claims Man's Life
Jeremy Whipple was apparently returning to his Wyalusing area home
after working the night shift early Tuesday morning when a head-on two-car
collision on Rt. 6 just east of the borough claimed his life. The 31-year-old
Whipple was pronounced dead at the scene by Bradford County Coroner Eugene
Farr after the 5:35 a.m. accident. The driver of the other car, 25-year-old
Derek Winters, who also resides in the Wyalusing area, sustained injuries
described as severe and was airlifted to Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre
from the accident scene, located about a quarter-mile east of the Pen-Mart
service station and convenience mart (formerly Red’s Mobil). Although the
accident is still under investigation, state police believe that the accident
occurred when Whipple, driving a 1991 Hyundai Excel, was traveling west
toward Wyalusing when his car crossed the center line and into the path
of an eastbound 1996 Pontiac Grand Am operated by Winters. The impact caused
tremendous damage to both vehicles, and Winters had to be extricated from
his car by Wyalusing fire and rescue personnel. That section of Rt. 6 was
closed to traffic until well after 10 a.m. The road closure forced school
buses and other morning traffic to travel back roads rather than Rt. 6.
Whipple, a graduate of Elk Lake High School and originally from the West
Auburn area, was reportedly returning from work at the Endless Warehouse
Service near Meshoppen when the accident occurred, and had previously worked
at the Taylor-Excel plant as a member of the security crew. His funeral
services are scheduled for Saturday in Laceyville. Mr. Whipple’s obituary
appears in this issue. Emergency personnel from Laceyville also assisted
at the accident scene. Rocket Newspaper Deecember 11, 2003 Submitted
