COLE HARDY

Fatally Injured - H. Cole, of Harrison Valley, Had Leg Torn Off and Was Internally Injured
A shocking accident occurred at the Harrison Valley tannery Friday morning from the effects of which Hardey Cole lost his life.  For some reason he went under the leach house where his clothing entangled in the drag chain which carries away bark from the leaches.  He was quickly carried to the sproket wheel where his left leg was torn off at the knee.  Dr. Roe, of Harrison Valley, and Dr. Mastin, of Westfield, were called, who, as the only chance to save the man's life, amputated the leg just below the hip, but owing to the shock and internal injuries he failed to rally and died at 8 o'clock Friday night.  Mr. Cole was a man between 60 and 65 years of age.  He is survived by his wife and several adult children.  He had been a resident of Harrison Valley and an employee at the tannery for 12 or 15 years.  (Buried Mills Cemetery, Harrison Twp, PA)

? CHILSON Joan D.
Joan D. Chilson died 7th October 2007 at Liberty Commons in Chatham after a 10 year battle with breast cancer. She was the wife of the late Charles H. Chilson. We have come to the end of an impeccable era that leaves behind a great legacy, a legacy that is filled with warmth and compassion. A legacy that can not be justified by few soft words of admiration, but a legacy that will live on forever in our souls and in our hearts. All those who crossed her path were some of the luckiest on this earth for they were in the presence of greatness. A true angel come to life. This is a woman with such a strong energy and force that she should not have been a woman at all, with all that power she should have been an element or a season. Mother Nature is no match against her. Like the flowers need the rain, like the waves need the sea or like the cardinals need the trees, she is the air we will now forever breathe. She was a trooper at best. She stood on those two long sturdy legs with the utmost strength and grace filled with humility and love. There is not a single soul that can take away what she has accomplished or one who would even want to diminish the great life that was lived. The life of the ultimate icon. Written by Brie Reynolds, granddaughter. She was born in Xenia, Ohio in 1930. She was a great mom and kept her family of seven children and husband going for over 50 years. She has been with the Orleans Police Department in a similar capacity for the past 20 years. She was a long standing member of the Church of the Holy Spirit ever since the family moved to Orleans in the mid-1960s. She has touched many in the community with her warm smile, kind ways, and quiet strong resolve. She is survived by seven children and loving companions, Susan (Chilson) and Hal von Hagn of Nashua, NH, Anne (Chilson) and Chuck Reynolds of Eastham, MA, Charles and Linda Chilson of Lowell, MA, Richard Chilson and Mindy LaBranche of Rochester, MA, Michael and Betsy Chilson of North Eastham, MA, Stephen Chilson of Orleans MA, and Amy Chilson and Carol Kindle of North Eastham, MA; along with 12 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Visitation for family and friends will be held at the Church of the Holy Spirit Orleans, MA, on Wednesday, October 10th, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Funeral services for family and friends will be held at the Church of the Holy Spirit Thursday, October 11th, at 2:00 p.m. The family expresses heartfelt thanks to the many caregivers who provided care for our Mom during her illness, especially Dr. Kim Mead-Walters of Nauset Family Practice and the staff at Liberty Commons. In lieu of flowers, Joan wishes that donations be made to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, for breast cancer work, 5005 LBJ Fwy., Suite 250 Dallas, TX 75244.
