Mr. Michael Ely
Mr. Michael Ely, a prominent citizen of Covington, died last Wednesday, of consumption.  He was 60 years of age.  He was born in Vermont.  In 1867 he came to this county and became a member of the firm of Hirsch, Ely & Co., of the Blossburg glass-factory, and in 1881 he moved to Covington.  His wife and 10 children survive him.  The funeral was held on Friday at the Blossburg Roman Catholic church under the auspices of the C. T. A. Society, the Presidents of the various local organizations acting as pall-bearers.  (Tuesday, January 7, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. Frank L. Boehm
Last Tuesday evening Mr. Frank L. Boehm, a car-inspector for the Fall Brook Coal Company, was instantly killed in the yard at Corning. Nobody saw the accident, but when the body was found the head was lying inside the rail and the trunk outside, it evidently having been dragged a few feet.  It is supposed that he was killed at about half past eight o’clock, as at about that time a switch engine pushed a few cars in upon the track where the body was found, and those cars undoubtedly came in contact with the train already there, pushing the latter onward a few feet.  From the position of the body it is thought Mr. Boehm was probably lying on his back, tightening some loosened bolt or other part of the car, when, without warning, the cars moved, the wheels caught his head and his death was instant.  The features were scarcely distinguishable, one leg was broken and the fractured bones protruding through the cloth.  His lantern was crushed, and his repair tools were found with the lantern a short distance back.  Boehm formerly lived at Blossburg, and he was employed on the Tioga railroad for 25 years.  He was 56 years of age, and he leaves a wife and several children.  The remains were interred at Blossburg.  (Tuesday, January 7, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

U. Grant Milliken and Daniel P. Howard
Last Sunday morning the wrecking crew, consisting of about 60 workmen, and about 40 men and boys attracted by curiosity, boarded a train at this station and went to Niles Valley, where the workman spent the day in getting back on the track the jumbo engine upset in the wreck of last Thursday.  The work was completed about 4 o’clock, and the workmen were all quite happy to think that the job had been accomplished so speedily.  Returning to this place, the train consisted of a platform car, upon which was a derrick and tackle-blocks, and two tool-cars in which the men and boys were riding.  It was a quarter to six o’clock when the train was moving over the iron bridge just below this station.  The engine and tender passed over safely, and then there was a terrific crash as the iron-bridge gave way and let the cars down a distance of about 15 feet.  The rear car hung by its trucks above the abutments of the bridge, and the forward end was pitched down against the other cars, smashing the roofs where they came together.  The occupants of the last car were thrown forward in a heap and many of them were badly bruised.  Upon the forward platform of this car were standing U. Grant Milliken, Daniel P. Howard and Conrad Dittenhofer, and they were crushed between the two cars and by the bridge irons which fell upon them.  Milliken and Howard were instantly killed and Dittenhofer was so badly injured that he is not expected to recover.  It was a moment of dreadful suspense when the bruised and bleeding occupants of the cars scrambled out into the darkness with the knowledge that some of their comrades were killed and perhaps many other fatally hurt.  It was not long before many citizens answered the call of the locomotive whistle and lent assistance in getting out those imprisoned under the irons and timbers.  A heavy timber was lifted off little Willie Brew, the dispatch messenger, and the poor lad was carried home.  It was thought for hours that he could not live, but yesterday the doctors predicted that he will recover.  His injury is internal, a timber striking him across the back.  Conrad Dittenhofer was taken from between the cars and from under some bridge irons and carried upon a stretcher to Fretz’s hotel near the depot.  His right arm was terribly bruised, the bones of his right leg were crushed just above the ankle, his skull was fractured near the left eye and two long gashes were cut upon the top of his head.  Dr. Morgan L. Bacon, the Company’s surgeon, assisted by Dr. C. W. Webb, amputated the arm at the shoulder, and it will undoubtedly be necessary to amputate the poor fellow’s leg also if he recovers from the shock of the first operation.  The dead bodies of U. Grant Milliken and Daniel P. Howard were taken out by chopping away the ends of the cars, and they were carried to Van Horn & Chandler’s undertaking-rooms, where they were prepared for burial.  Mr. Milliken was one of the railroad workmen.  He was 23 years of age, and he leaves a young wife, the daughter of Policeman James Hazlett.  When his body was taken from the wreck it was found that his neck was broken, the right arm and foot crushed and the body terribly bruised.  Daniel P. Howard was also found with his neck broken and skull crushed.  He was an industrious man and esteemed for his integrity.  His age was 24.  He leaves a wife and three children. The complete list of the killed and injured are as follows:  Daniel P. Howard, instantly killed.  U. Grant Milliken, instantly killed.  Conrad Dittenhofer, probably fatally injured.  William Brew, dispatch-boy, series spinal injury.  Richard Childs, conductor, bruised upon side and wrist.  Zura Baker, track supervisor, side injuries.  William Francis, injury to chest and arm.  John Roberts, ribs broken.  Luther Schaffer, head cut.  Mell Hill, gash on head.  Jerry O’Shea, badly bruised.  John Short, bad scalp wound.  Milton Fretz, bad gash between the eyes.  William Green, head and wrist cut.  Frank Strait, hand cut.  Charles O’Conner, foot hurt.  Edward Ellsworth, head cut.  Oscar Caldwell, of Blossburg, knee and back injured.  Fay Holman, hand bruised.  O. Warriner, right leg injured.  The general opinion on the night of the accident seemed to be that the derrick on the flat-car caught upon the bridge and caused the disaster by jerking out a supporting rod in the truss, thus causing the structure to fall under the weight of the cars.  Yesterday Dr. A. Niles, of Keeneyville, Coroner, called the following jury to inquire into the cause of the death of U. Grant Milliken and Daniel P. Howard:  A. S. Brewster, Foreman, E. A. Smead of Tioga, George D. Keeney of Keeneyville, Jared Davis of Keeneyville, F. W. Graves of Wellsboro and E. J. Purple of Wellsboro.  The jury viewed the bodies and then adjoined to Monday, the 20th instant, to hear the evidence in the case.  The railroad men went to work upon the wreck Sunday night, and a trestle is now being built.  It is expected that trains will be running up to the station to-day.  Engineer Shaffer, of the ill-fated train, with great presence of mind jumped from his engine immediately after the accident and dashed through the creek and back down the track with his lantern to stop Engineer Barber(?), whose engine was following the first train.  Quite likely his thoughtfulness averted a second direful disaster.  Drs. Morgan L. Bacon, Hugh L. Davis, Clarence Webb and D. G. Drake were kept busy for some hours after the accident in attending the injured.  The funeral of Mr. Milliken is to be held at the home of James Hazlett this afternoon at 1 o’clock.  Mr. Howard’s funeral is to be held at the First Baptist church at 1:30 o’clock p. m. to-day.  (Tuesday, January 7, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mrs. Roxanna Brewster
Mrs. Roxanna Brewster died very unexpectedly at the residence of her son, Mr. C. E. Brewster, on Tioga street, last Sunday at 9 o’clock in the morning.  She was 89 years old, but very smart and vigorous for so old a person.  She got up Sunday morning and dressed herself and seemed to feel as well as usual; but suddenly she had a difficulty in breathing, and her death followed in a few minutes.  Mrs. Brewster’s maiden name was Sprague.  She was born in Massachusetts, and was the 5th wife of the late Jonah Brewster, who died in March, 1858.  She was a woman of unusual intelligence and retained her mental faculties to the last.  (Tuesday, January 14, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

William Darrah Kelley
Congressman Kelley passed quietly away at 6:20 o’clock last Thursday evening at his hotel in Washington, in the presence of his wife and children.  His death was painless, Dr. Stanton says, as were his last two days, for during the 48 hours he had been in the state of unconsciousness varied only by delirium.  He literally died of heart failure.  There were no dying words to record.  All day Wednesday and Thursday his family watched carefully for some sign of consciousness, but in vain.  Even when he was conscious he had difficulty in speaking, owing to his cancer and catarrh.  His last words were really those he addressed to his wife and daughter when they went down 10 days before his death to take him home, and he told them.  “No, no; I want to stay here and die in the harness.“  He said to them again and again that he longed for the meeting of Congress after the holiday recess, so that he might take his place in the House.  He wanted to die there, and he fought against his increasing weakness chiefly that he might live to do it.  Judge Kelley had an exalted idea of the office of Representative in Congress.  He regarded it as a place of the highest dignity, and he could not have died more content in the Presidency.  During all the past year as his strength gradually failed he kept his thought of dying in the harness constantly in mind.  He hoped at first last winter that he might die as chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, but by the time he got to Washington this winter he found himself so weak that he knew that it would be impossible.  Last winter Judge Kelley was able to take some part in the affairs of the House and to look after the interests of his constituents, but this winter he has not even attempted this.  He had just, as he said himself, been trying to keep his shattered hulk afloat.  His cancerous and his catarrhal trouble, especially since the catarrh extended to his stomach, taken with the gradual disappearance of his teeth, made it difficult for him to take solid food.  For months he had lived practically on liquid foods and stimulants, especially champagne, of which he was very fond.  Latterly he had been kept alive by stimulants alone.  Naturally enough, he got very thin as well as very weak, so that the undertaker remarked upon his emaciation.  But for a man of 76 he looked surprisingly young as he sat around the hotel before he got so weak that he had to go to bed.  It was the erectness of his spare figure, the grace of his gait and the dark color of his hair and beard, flecked though they were with gray, which relieved his wrinkled, weather-worn face and made him seem contemporary with men who were in the cradle when he first appeared in public life.  He was very proud of his youthful appearance, and always counted himself in as one of “the boys.”  Until this winter he was fond of dining out and of good entertainments of all sorts, the theater included.  William Darrah Kelley was born in Philadelphia, says the Record, in 1814--April 12th.  His grandfather, John, was a Revolutionary officer, of Salem county, NJ.  His father was David Kelley, who was in business as a jeweler and watchmaker at No. 227 North Second street.  His birth occurred during the war of 1812, when business of all kinds was depressed.  When peace was declared the financial embarrassments still continued, and almost every family was thereby affected, some being utterly wrecked in fortune.  This was the fate reserved for the Kelley family, and, to add to their distress, death removed the husband and father, leaving the widow without any estate and with four little children to provide for.  Until he was 11 years old William attended school, and then made a start in the battle of life--first as an errand boy in a bookstore, and then as copy-reader in the Inquirer’s office.  Finally concluding to learn a trade, he was apprenticed in the jewelry manufactory of Richards & Dubosq., with whom he remained until 1834.  Besides sticking close to his bench in working hours, and in the evening indulging a keen appetite for books, he sought recreation in Colonel James Page’s State Fencibles.  When he had completed his apprenticeship he found employment at his trade in Boston.  His stay there had a marked effect upon the broader career which ability, industry and perseverance were to open to him.  He achieved at that time considerable fame as an eloquent lecturer and debater, and was advised to seek a scholarship in Harvard.  A better suggestion came from the late Colonel James Page, long known as one of the most active of Philadelphians.  “Why don’t you study law?”  “Why don’t I go to Congress, sir?” replied Kelley, the one thing seeming to him as practicable as the other.  “Perhaps you may some day, but first come and read law with me.”  On March 9, 1839, Colonel Page registered William D. Kelley, who had now returned to Philadelphia, as a student at law in his office, and on April 17, 1841, on Colonel Page’s motion, the jeweler became a full-fledged limb of the law.  He was admitted to practice in 1841; in 1845 was appointed Deputy Prosecuting Attorney for the State, and in 1846 was commissioned by Governor Shunk one of the Judges of the Court of Common Pleas.  Here his course was put to a severe test in the celebrated contested election case for District Attorney, Reed vs. Knease(?), where the Democratic party lost their case.  Judge Kelley was known to be largely responsible for this fact, and he was ostracized by those with whom he had formerly sympathized.  In 1851 the Judges were made elective, and running on an independent ticket he was elected and commissioned for 10 years.  About the time of the Missouri Compromise he was outspoken in his opposition to slavery, and in 1856 the Republican Convention of the 4th Congressional district nominated him for Congress.  He accepted and was defeated.  He was a delegate to the Chicago Convention of 1860, and when Lincoln was chosen to be President Kelley was elected to represent the 4th district in the 37th Congress, and served continuously up to the time of his death, being known as the “The Father of the House.”  It is not necessary to follow the details of Judge Kelley’s Congressional career.  He took rank beside the most able and earnest defenders of the Union, favored the most vigorous conduct of the war, favored emancipation and manhood suffrage, and so early in 1862 advocated the arming of the negro; took an advanced position on the question of reconstruction; advocated the Morrill tariff of 1861, and was always one of the most advanced protectionists.  In 1869 he was made a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, and remained in continuous service on that committee until December last, when, in consequence of his feeble health, he requested Speaker Reed to give him a committee assignment which would involve less labor.  In compliance with that request he was made Chairman of the Committee on Manufactures.  By 1878 he had risen to second place on the Ways and Means Committee, and when Mr. Henry L. Dawes was transferred to the Senate in 1875 he became the senior Republican member.  In 1879, under Democratic rule in the House, the late President Garfield was placed ahead of him on the committee; but, when the Republicans returned to power in the House in 1881, he was made Chairman and leader of the Republican majority.  Judge Kelley’s health had been failing for nearly 10 years part, and frequently during that period he had been compelled to take long rests from active Congressional labor.  As long ago as 1883 he was obliged to make a trip to Europe on account of his health.  For many years past Judge Kelley had made his home in an attractive house in West Philadelphia.  There is nothing pretentious about the residence, but its halls are broad and its ceilings high, and ample grounds surround it.  Some years ago he was regarded as a poor man financially, but the appreciation of his West Philadelphia property ultimately placed him in comfortable circumstances.  A family of children had grown up around Judge Kelley.  His eldest son, William D. Kelley, Jr., is extensively engaged in business in Birmingham, Ala., and another son, Bertram, is now a student at the University of Pennsylvania.  His three daughters are married, one of them having become the wife of Russian gentleman while she was pursuing her medical studies in Europe.  William D. Kelley died in this city last evening, in his 76th year.  He had served 14 consecutive terms in the House and had just entered upon his 15th term, and his continuous service of 29 years exceeds that of any other member of either House, with the single exception of Senator Morrill, who began his service in the 34th Congress.  The House adjourned to day in recognition of the sad event, and the funeral services will be held at the capitol tomorrow, after which the remains will be taken to Philadelphia for burial.  (Tuesday, January 14, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Jacob Ingerick [SRGP 74379]
Rev. Jacob Ingerick died at the home of his son, Mr. Elmer Ingerick, at East Charleston, last Wednesday, in his 86th year.  He had been sick only about a week.  Jacob Ingerick was born in New York city, September 28, 1804.  He was married at Neversink, NY, in 1825, at the age of 21.  His wife died about 13 years ago.  Of their four children, two sons are now living--Mr. Elmer Ingerick, of East Charleston, and Mr. Wesley Ingerick, now residing at Little Marsh, both being respected citizens.  Mr. Ingerick came into this vicinity 51 years ago and settled on a farm just north of this borough, where he lived and toiled for several years.  His person and life had become widely known through this section.  He began preaching when about 36 years of age, and continued till his feebleness prevented.  He began his ministerial work as a local preacher in the Methodist Church and afterward became associated with the Freewill Baptist Church, and still later he joined the regular Baptist Church.  He held several pastorates and did much supply work as calls came to him, always retaining his home on the farm, from which he derived almost his entire support.  He cheerfully gave his time and strength to the Churches he served.  For many miles about here he has done much efficient work in preaching the word.  He was an industrious student, though he had enjoyed no academical training.  Possessed of a strong memory and an earnest, persistent thirst for truth, he came into possession of a wide range of facts and a clear view of the saving power of the gospel, and he delighted to converse on these themes.  During his last hours his gaze was foreward and not backward.  At one time he remarked, “I would like to go to sleep and not awake here again.”  When asked if he desired some food, he said, “I am feasting on Christ.”  His familiar form so frequently seen on our streets will be missed.  “He rests from his labors.”  His funeral was held at the Methodist church at East Charleston, and it was largely attended.  The sermon was preached by Rev. H. J. Owen.  (Tuesday, January 21, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. John Parkhurst
Mr. John Parkhurst, an old resident and one of the most prominent business men of Elkland, died quite suddenly at his home on Main street last week Monday morning.  He had been in poor health for the past two years, says the Journal, and of late had been quite feeble, but had not been confined to his bed.  He arose as usual Monday morning and sat with his family at the breakfast table.  After finishing the meal he sat and conversed with his family a short time and then retired to his room, upon entering which he fell to the floor and expired almost immediately.  The cause of his death was heart failure, super induced by Bright’s disease, to which he had been subject for several years.  Mr. Parkhurst was born at Richmond, NH, February 13, 1823.  He came to Tioga county in 1844, locating at Lawrenceville, where he engaged in the mercantile business.  In 1848 he went to Elkland and formed a co-partnership with the late Joel, Parkhurst, which continued until 1854, when the latter retired from the firm and the late J. G. Parkhurst was admitted.  This partnership continued until 1804, when it was discontinued and Mr. Parkhurst engaged in wool buying in Tioga.  Bradford, Potter, and Steuben counties until 1867.  In that year he, with the late Joel Parkhurst, under the firm name of J. & J. Parkhurst, bankers, established the business, which has been so successfully carried on since, and is now recognized as one of the strongest private banks in the State.  In 1869 Mr. C. L. Pattison was admitted to the firm, and the firm name became J. Parkhurst & Co., with copartners as above.  About a year ago he retired from active business, his oldest son, Mr. L. K. Parkhurst, taking his place in the bank.  Mr. Parkhurst was one of the three sole survivors who aided in making Elkland a borough in 1849 and 1850, and he had lived to see it grow from a small hamlet to the most thriving business town in the  Cowanesque valley.  Probably ne man had a wider acquaintance or more friends in this and adjoining counties.  He was also one of the charter members of the Odd Fellows’ Lodge in that place.  Mr. Parkhurst married in 1852, and leaves a widow and three children to mourn his loss--Mr. L. K. Parkhurst, Mrs. W. E. Williams, of Montrose, Pa., and Mr. J. W. Parkhurst, of Reed City, Mich.  (Tuesday, January 28, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)

Mr. W. H. McHenry and Alex. Carman
Last Tuesday morning a terrible nitro-glycerin explosion occurred near Mt. Alton, McKean county, killing two men--W. H. McHenry and Alex. Carman, of Bradford, both well-known “oil-well shooters.”  They were going to Alton to shoot a well, and while unloading their wagons the terrible explosion occurred.--no one knows how.  The Era says pieces of human flesh and shreds of clothing were to be seen on the ground and clinging to the limbs of trees in all directions.  A round hole torn in the earth, 16 feet in diameter and three feet deep, showed where the explosion had occurred.  Twenty feet from the hole stood two trembling, bleeding horses.  They had in their fright started to run, but a beech stump was in their way, and the axle coming in contact with it held them in check.  Two cans of glycerin stood on the ground between the wagon and the hole.  They were intact, and why they were not blown up with the others is one of those mysteries that cannot be explained.  The force of the explosion broke into pieces and removed bodily the large tree alongside of which the cans were placed by the ill-fated shooters.  Why McHenry’s horses were not killed is another question not easily answered.  McHenry was aged, about 45 years and leaves a wife and children.  Carman was aged about 55 years and leaves a wife.  (Tuesday, February 4, 1890, The Wellsboro Agitator, Wellsboro, Tioga Co, Pa.)
