JOHNSON Sidney
Wellsboro Agitator, Tioga, PA - Wed.,  July 23, 1930, Pg 8
Sidney Johnson Lost Life Wednesday in Cowanesque River.  [drowned 7/16/1930]  Sidney Johnson, aged 17 years, ventured too far into the Cowanesque River at North Fork Wednesday evening and was drowned.  According to George Hunt, his companion, he and young Johnson went to the swimming hole near North Fork at about 8pm.  While Hunt, who was unable to swim walked about in the water, Johnson declared, "I'm going to see how deep it is in this pool".   With one hand on his face and the other held above him he walked into the water. When the youth's hand failed to appear, Hunt became frightened.  Suddenly Johnson's head appeared above the water and he was making frantic efforts to save himself.  Hunt made several attempts to rescue his comrade but Johnson had walked into deep water where Hunt was unable to go.  He ran to a nearby farmhouse for aid.  Howard Farwell and Stanley Brook dived into the pool and brought up Johnson's body.  They made valiant efforts to resusitate the lad  but to no avail.   Sidney Johnson was the only son of the late Patrick Johnson, of Westfield, who last year was convicted of murdering his wife.  He committed suicide in jail on July 9, 1929 by hanging, following his conviction.  Johnson is survived by two sisters, Mrs Lillian Hollanbaugh of  Sheffield and Mrs Doris Bennett of Addison.

KING PHOEBE

Wellsboro Agitator – January 29, 1902

Mrs. Phoebe Jordan, aged 72, the widow of Mr. Daniel Jordan and the mother of Mr. Francis Jordan, with whom she lived, died last Wednesday evening in North Delmar at her home on Dance run, nearly two miles from the main road on the south side of Marsh creeks.  Her death resulted from frightful burns received the day before. It had been Mrs. Jordan's custom, it is said, to hasten the fires in her stove by using kerosene, and it is believed that while using oil during her son's absence from home, her clothing became ignited.  However this may be, as Mr. Joseph Grimes was passing the Jordan house Tuesday forenoon he saw Mrs. Jordan in front of it with her garments blazing and trying vainly to beat out the flames with her hands. He hastened to help and succeeded in quenching the fire with snow and water, but when this end was accomplished, Mrs. Jordan was in a dreadful condition. Her clothing was nearly burned off, and she was suffering severe burns over much of the lower half of her body. Mr. Grimes summoned help from neighbors and Dr. B. L. Roe, of Wellsboro was sent for. The Doctor did all he could for the afflicted woman, but the odds of her age, the shock she had sustained and the injuries she bad received proved too great, and she died, the following day.  Mrs. Jordan was a daughter of the late Mr. Alonzo King and was born in Clymer township. She was buried in Sabinsville.

? KING LYDIA

Mrs. Lydia King - A few days ago Mrs. Lydia King, aged 66 years, who lived with her son Sylvester King, near Sabinsville, was left alone at home, her husband and son being at a neighbor's engaged in threshing. About half-past eight in the evening the men returned home and found that Mrs. King was missing. They searched through the neighborhood, but were unable to learn anything of her whereabouts. The next morning the son found the lifeless body of his mother in the orchard where a vicious sheep was pastured. Several neighbors were called, a physician summoned and Justice J.L. Thompson sent for. Upon examination it was found that the woman's left leg was broken above the knee, several ribs were broken and she was terribly bruised. Justice Thompson decided that an inquest was not necessary after hearing the statement made by the husband and son. - Wellsboro Agitator, November 4, 1891, p.1
