After an illness of but three weeks duration in which he bore his grief with a determination to cause as little heart-ache as possible to all those who administered to him, death rewarded his suffering at 10:30 o'clock Sunday night, November 113, 1927. A man of stout heart, an indefatigable worker and a loyal and faithful father, Mr. Johnston reflected every characteristic that would place him high as an esteemed citizen of the community.

During the coldest of the winter months, when the ice harvest was in progress, Mr. Johnston handled the contracts for ice cutting in various communities adjacent to Wyalusing and in Wyalusing proper. It was just after this work was completed that he spoke of a weakness in health, which finally resulted in his being ordered to a hospital in Binghamton where every possible help was given to bring about a restoration to health. The heart failed to re-act favorably to treatment however, and when hope seemed in vain, he requested that he be removed to the home of his devoted wifes parents in Endicott. It was here that death claimed his soul, a victim of heart failure. Mr. Johnston was popular among the entire business populace of Wyalusing. During the summer months, he was employed as a salesman for the Stone, Morris, and Larkin garaged in this capacity winning many friends thru his well conducted business manner. His death takes from the community a good citizen and respected friend of multitudes. Deceased was 37 years of age and is survived by his wife, Mrs. Nellie Johnston, and one daughter, Leola Marguerite, aged 16 years. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. James J. Johnston are also left to mourn his death. The body lay in state at the Wyalusing M. E. Church Wednesday afternoon between the hours of one and two o'clock.

The following was taken from the May 21st issue of the Lake Charles American Press, Lake Charles, Louisiana: William Henry Managan, Sr., member of the oldest lumber company in Southwest Louisiana, a powerful and esteemed figure in Southern Baptist church organizations, one of the first active supporters of education in early Calasieu parish, and friend and aide of all civic betterment movements, died quietly at his home Sunday afternoon. Mr. Managan was vice president of Krause & Managan Lumber Company, Ltd., and Krause & Managan, Inc., director in the Peavy-Byrnes, Peavy-Wilson and peavy-Moore Lumber Companies at Shreveport; director of the Murray-Brooks Hardware Company at Lake Charles; past president of the Louisiana Baptist convention and president of its executive board for many years; past president and trustee at the time of his death of the Louisiana College board; Louisiana member several years of the board of the Southern Baptist Theological seminary at Louisville, KY., trustee of the Bible Institute at New Orleans from its inception in 1917; one of the leading builders and members ofthe Westlake Baptist church for 45 years; Louisiana vice president of the Irish Historical Society; member and past president of Lake Charles Rotary Club; secretary of Calcasieu deepwater committee in 1922. Starts as Teacher - Mr. Managan started his long and useful career as a school teacher in Tioga County, Pennsylvania. The lumberman and churchman was born near Covington, Tioga county, Pa., September 22, 1864, the oldest son of THOMAS JEFFERSON and HARRIET BIXBY MANAGAN. Mr. Managan was baptized in the Tioga river and received into the fellowship of the Covington Baptist church in May, 1887. He attended county schools of Tioga county and the Mansfield State Normal at Mansfield, Pa. Thereafter, Mr. Managan taught in Tioga county schools and later went to Williamsport, Pa., where he attended business college. Mr. Managan married Miss MATILDA EAST, of Williamsport, Pa., at Lake Charles, on October 2, 1889. Mr. Managan and R. Krause, his life-long partner in lumber enterprise from the time they both worked in clerical positions for Perkins & Miller at Westlake, started their lumber career by buying and selling timber on a small scale, which was increased as the years passed. Perkins and Miller incorporated their company in 1892, and Mr. Managan and Mr. Krause bought stock until in 1906 they acquired ownership of the company and the name was changed to Krause & Managan Lumber Lumber Co., Ltd. Incorporated Business- In 1928 Krause & Managan, Ltd., was organized to carry on the retail lumber and building materials business and Krause & Managan Lumber Co. Ltd., continued to conduct land holdings separately. Of the quiet-voiced Mr. Managan, a volume published this year by the Louisiana Baptist Convention on "Baptist Builders In Louisiana" has this to say: "Of this Godly layman it has been fittingly said, "There's a sermon in his countenance, another in his voice, and a still greater one in his life." Gentle in manner, meek in spirit, slow and deliberte in speech, yet when he speaks on an important issue, Baptists are accustomed to give attention." Aids Bible Institute- When the Baptist Bible Institute was born in Coliseum Place Baptist Church in New Orleans, Mr. Managan was present and active in its organization. He had been member of the institute trustee board ever since, and has contributed vast sums to the institute, to needy churches throughout the state and in other parts of the South, and $75,000,000 campaign in 1919. Many Youths Aided- Bisides supporting churches and church organizations, foreign missions and other church fields, Mr. Managan's generosity and helpfulness aided many youths to acquire scholastic training. As a world traveler, Mr. Managan attended two Rotary international conventions, first in 1921, at Edinburgh, Scotland, and second in 1927, St. Ostend, Belgium. Reading and travel were his favorite recreations. On the 1921 trip, accompanied by Mrs. Managan, his son, L. C. and daughter, Lucille, he visited the British isles and continental Europe. In 1927, he and Mrs. Managan visited Ostend, France, Spain, Northern Africa, Egypt, the Holy Land, Turkey, Greece, the Balkans, and Germany. Mr. Managan traveled extensively over the United States and in 1924 made a two-months trip to the Hawaiian Islands.

ORTON, Lemuel - Died - In Smithfield, on the 8th of June, inst. Mr. Lemuel Orton, in the forty third year of his age. The circumstances of Mr. Orton's death are very peculiar, and distressing to a sensitive family. He was employed in tending the sawmill of Horace Williston, Esq. In the early part of the day Mrs. Orton went into the mill and found him attending to his duties, advised with him of some of their domestic concerns and left him apparently in good health, and cheerfully enjoying his usual flow of lively animation. Her distress then can be better conceived than described, when within about fifteen minutes from the period of her leaving the mill she received the appalling news that her husband was a corpse. He was found laying on his face lifeless in front of a bench on which he occasionally sat when fatigued; and it is supposed that his death was caused by a fit of the apoplexy. Mr. Orton was an active, industrious and useful citizen. In the eventful war he made a exhibit of his patriotism by rendering two years' service as a Volunteer in defence of his country's rights. In 1813 he was engaged with Perry in his memorable battle on Lake Erie, and in the vessel on board which Mr. Orton fought there were but five men beside himself left that were able to perform duty. In 1814 he joined Gen. Porter's Volunteers, and accompanied Gen. Brown's army through the various bloody fights that occurred in that summer's campaign. He has left a wife and four young children to mourn his loss and struggle with the vicissitudes of life unaided by his manly energies. From the Northern Banner June 13, 1835. Pat Raymond
SHAW-Aug. 15, 1928-Died After Rescue From Burning Home-Robert Shaw Sr. of North Flat Died At Hospital As Result Of Burns-Home Destroyed-Mr. Robert Shaw Sr., a veteran of the Civil War, 81 years of age, died Wednesday of this week at the Robert Packer Hospital in Sayre, from burns and shock he received early Wednesday morning when his home burned at his farm located on North Flat, across the river from Laceyville. Mr. Shaw and his son, Robert Jr, age about 12 years were asleep in the upper story of the home when fire broke out below due to an exploding oil stove which had been lighted by Mrs. Shaw a short time previous before she went to the barn some distance away to do the morning milking of the dairy herd. The young Shaw, Robert Jr., was the first to discover that the home was afire when he was awakened by the dense smoke in his bedroom and the crackling of the woodwork nearby. He made a hurried exit from the burning building by jumping to the ground from an upper story window. He immediately thought of his father's safety and knowing that he was in the burning building, summoned assistance from a neighbor, Payne France. Together they placed a ladder to Mr. Shaw's bedroom window and succeeded in getting the old gentleman, aroused and on his way down the ladder to safety. As they were assisting the feeble and injured man down, the ladder broke in two, and allowed the old gentleman to fall heavily on a concrete walk some eight of ten feet below. He was badly burned about the face, arms, neck and chest and he suffered a deep burn on his right arm near the elbow. Submitted by Patty Shumway pshumway@epix.net
