Sallade, J. Henry

Last Thursday afternoon a shocking accident occurred on the railroad between Kutztown and Topton. J. Henry Sallade, a student at the Normal School, as had been a custom of his jumped off and on the train which had more cars than usual, being filled with people returning from the fair. The young man had frequently been warned of the danger he underwent but he kept up the practice. The train stops a number of times at flag stations or crossings and it was while such a short stop was made that young Sallade met with his fate. He ran ahead on the track when one of his feet caught in the frog at a switch. Before he could extricate himself or be noticed by the trainmen the wheels were upon him. Both legs were crushed below the knees and his body pushed and rolled some distance before he was noticed. The young man was quickly taken up and later removed to the Reading Hospital. His injuries were, however, so serious as to cause death about ten o'clock that evening. Deceased was 18 years old and a son of W. H. Sallade, Deputy Treasurer of Berks county, and who resides at Topton. A number of people were witnesses of the tragedy. A sister of the young man, also a student at the Normal, was on the train and was almost overcome by the shock. When found on the track in his pitiable condition, young Sallade, who was conscious, said to the baggage master, “Oh, Benj, if I only had followed your advice!” It was a sad sight and close of a promising life.

Sallade, J. Henry

J. Henry Sallade, son of William M. Sallade, deputy treasurer of Berks county, and ex-clerk of court of quarter sessions, in returning to his home at Topton from Kutztown, where he was a student in the Normal School � it being his custom to go to and from school daily by train � met with a fatal accident late on Thursday afternoon. Just above Hinterleiter's Crossing, the cars stopped and young Sallade stepped off. When the train again started, he ran alongside, intending to jump on, but his foot caught in a frog and he was thrown under the wheels. His left leg was cut off below the knee, and his right leg above the ankle. The train was stopped, and the young man picked up and placed in the baggage car for conveyance to Reading. When the train reached the outer station of the city, his father was there with the Reading Hose ambulance, some one having telegraphed him of the unfortunate occurrence. He was quickly taken to the Reading hospital, where he died at 10 o'clock in the evening. The young man was, according to the statements of some of the passengers, racing with the train, which was moving along at a moderate rate of speed, and which he attempted to board. He missed the first step of the car, and his limbs were crushed by the wheels of one of the cars before the conductor could give the engineer the usual signal to stop. His sister was on the same train. The young man was 18 years of age, bright, studious and highly respected by the people of Topton and vicinity, where he was best known. He was a member of the graduating class of the Normal, and would have graduated next June. The classes are all in mourning. Rev. Dr. G. B. Hancher, the principal, referred to the accident in feeling language on Friday morning during the opening exercises, and remarked that he hoped this would serve as a warning to the other students. The funeral took place yesterday, 24th, Rev. D. K. Humbert officiating. The turnout was very large, an immense concourse of people having gathered both at the house of mourning in Topton, and at the Church, many specially to view the remains.

Savage, Levi

Third Brother Meets a Violent Death. Injuries of Levi Savage Prove Fatal. Was Squeezed between Elevator and Door at Reading Hardware Works.

Levi Savage, aged 68 years, of Glenside, died at the Homeopathic Hospital at 6:30 p.m. Monday as the result of injuries received at the plant of the Reading Hardware Works.

About 7:15 o'clock Monday morning, while Mr. Savage, who was a truckman, was unloading a truck from the elevator on one of the upper floors, the elevator suddenly started going upward. Instead of remaining on the car Mr. Savage tried to jump off, and in doing so was caught between the elevator and the gate and badly squeezed. Fellow workmen who heard his cries stopped the car.

The Reading Hose ambulance rushed the injured man to the Homeopathic Hospital. His injuries, though painful, were not considered serious. A careful examination revealed that he was injured about the chest, besides sustaining lacerations of the face. It is supposed that death resulted from an internal hemorrhage which developed later.

Coroner Wagner was notified and will investigate the case. Undertaker Lutz removed the body to Auman's morgue.

Mr. Savage was the son of the late Levi and Sophia Savage. He was a native of Reading and was employed at the Reading Hardware Works for seven years. Prior to this he was for 20 years yard boss at Mellert's foundry.

Deceased was a widower, his wife having died six years ago. He is survived by two adopted children, Elmer Savage, 1752 Cotton street, and Mrs. George W. Heist, of Glenside. Mr. Savage resided at the home of the latter, but owing to a nephew, George Whitman, at Glenside, having diphtheria, the remains will be removed to the home of his son Elmer for burial. Mrs. Frank Swimler, of this city, is a sister.

Two brothers of deceased also met with accidental deaths, Albert being killed about 35 years ago in an elevator accident at the Reading Stove Works, and George was killed on the railroad at South street 30 years ago. Mr. Savage was a member of the Methodist Church.

Coroner Wagner stated to the Eagle that he would probably issue a certificate of death due to shock and internal hemorrhages. He viewed the body and does not think an inquest necessary.

Savage, Levi

The funeral of Levi Savage, who died from injuries received at the Reading Hardware Company's plant, took place today from the residence of his son, Elmer Savage, 1753 Cotton street. Rev. J.

Mr. Schearer was born in Greenwich Township, and as a young man was hired boy on farms. Later he took up the carpentry trade and spent many years at both occupations. For quite a number of years he served as road supervisor in the borough of Kutztown. He was married three times.

After he retired from active work about seven years ago, he made rakes at his home until his eyes no longer served him for this purpose. He was know as a fine old gentleman and was highly respected.

His third wife and these children by a former marriage survive him: Amelia, widow of William Will, Kutztown; James R., Reading; Sue, wife of Amos Esterly, and Sophie, wife of Benjamin Becker, all of Reading.

Schmoyer, Daniel

On Wednesday last Daniel Schmoyer, one of Lower Macungie's oldest citizens, residing on the Lehigh mountain, near Siesholtzville, went peacefully out, he being on that day garnered as a ripened sheaf by the harvester, and given his rest. He brought his age to 91 years, leaving to those who survive him the treasurer of a character that was blameless, and a reputation so spotless that over it no single shadow or stain has ever been cast. His death was caused by heart disease, and was sudden. He was a man of a height of over six feet, and so well preserved that last summer he worked in haying and harvesting equally as well as those his junior by 50 years, and last winter spent most of his days in timber cutting for Mr. Peter Ruch on the mountain, he still being capable of doing a full day's work. He had longed passed the allotted span of life, but, as already said, was remarkably well preserved. He had been a widower for many years. He is survived by a number of children, the eldest being near 70 years of age. Some four or five of his grandchildren live in and about Macungie. He was a near relative of the numerous Schmoyer family residing on the Flats, in Lower Macungie, and of the family of Daniel Mohr, Esq. The funeral took place on Saturday last at Huff's Church, in Hereford tsp.

Schmoyer, Mrs. Jonathan

The wife of Mr. Jonathan Schmoyer, residing in Longswamp tsp., Berks Co., near the line dividing it from Lehigh county, died recently quite suddenly. In her death the relatives and friends and community at large have encountered a loss that is irreparable, and while we realize the futility of human efforts in attempting to lift the veil of affliction, there is the consolation that it has undoubtedly fallen to the lot of the departed to realize the fruition of that “peace that passeth understanding.” Of a quiet, retiring disposition her sphere was in the home circle, where she was loved and idolized. She was a member of the Lutheran church, to whose faith and worship and welfare she was strongly attached, and the zeal and cheerfulness with which she engaged in all good works are precious testimonials of her Christian character. She loved her family and friends, and the recollection of her kindness, affection and friendship, as well as her many good deeds, will linger like sweet perfume in the hearts of those who knew her best. The bereaved husband and five sorrowing children in their great affliction have the sympathy of all.

Schugar, Charles V.

Because his mother insisted upon his arising Wednesday morning to go to work at a silk mill where he was employed, Charles V. Schugar, sixteen years old, of Topton, in a fit of anger placed a pistol over his heart and pulled the trigger. He died instantly. Mrs. Kate Leibonsperger, his mother, swooned as she realized her son's act. After lying unconscious for several minutes, the woman attempted to reach her son's side, when she was seized with a nervous fit. Her screams were heard by neighbors, who carried her to bed, where she is suffering from shock and physical collapse. Young Schugar had been out until 3 o'clock in the morning watching the election returns. Not being accustomed to keeping such late hours, he failed to respond when first called. After continued efforts of Mrs. Leibensperger's part to arouse him, he drowsily replied that he didn't care to get up. Again he was called, when he fairly screamed, "I'll soon end it all." A moment later he killed himself.

The mother ran up stairs and found the boy had fired a revolver bullet through his heart. He was her only son and had retired at 3 o'clock Wednesday morning.

Schultz, Daniel N.

Hereford Man Dies Day After Resigning As Bank Director
Daniel N. Schultz, Succumbs Following Several Weeks' Illness
Was Retired Farmer
Served Long Period of Time as Official of Farmers National Bank

Daniel N. Schultz, retired Hereford township farmer, died at 5:30 o'clock Wednesday eveing, a day after ill health had prompted him to tender his resignation as a member of the board of directors of the Farmers National Bank, Pennsburg, on which body he had served for a period of 30 years. He was aged 74 years, 6 months and 19 days.

Death resulted from a complication of ailments, from which he had been suffering since Spring, although having ailed at times for two years. A week ago Saturday, his condition became more serious and from that time until his death he was confined to bed.

Mr. Schultz was prominent in the upper Periomen Valley section and through his long connection with the local bank, was a well known figure in the borough here.

His years of service as a director of the Farmers National Bank, which began following an eight-year period of service as a director of the Perkiomen National Bank in East Greenville, won for him a host of friends and acquaintances, and earned for him the respect of all with whom the business brought him in contact.

Mr. Schultz severed his business connections here only when he deemed it advisable to do so because of general declining health, but survived by tendering of his resignation by but a few more than twenty-four hours.

Mr. Schultz was born in Hereford township, Berks County, on November 9, 1865, a son of the late Enoch and his wife Leah, nee Schultz, Schultz, and resided on the old Schultz homestead all his life.

The Schultz farm is located just off the Hereford-Allentown highway, a short distance from the junction of that road and the Hereford-East Greenville route.

Mr. Schultz was educated in the public schools of the township, and following the death of his father, took over operation of his farm. He conducted the farm successfully until about fourteen years ago, when he retired.

He was one of a family of ten children, six of whom preceded him in death, and the surviving three, all older than he.

He was a life-long member of the Palm Schwenkfelder church, and in his younger days served as a deacon there.

Deceased is survived by two daughters, and one son, Clara at home; Mrs. Owen S. Gerhart, of Clayton, and Adam, at home. Two sisters and one brother survive, Levi N. Schultz, Norristown; Mrs. Nathan M. Schultz and Mrs. Susanna N. Schultz, both of Palm, six grandsons and three granddaughters also survive.

Scott, Walter C.

Our readers, we believe, have by this time become quite well acquainted with the sad case of Walter C. Scott, of Alburtis; how he was so suddenly relieved last fall of a spasmodic shaking of the head with which he was afflicted for thirty years; how he attempted suicide by firing three bullets into his head at Allentown and of their removal and his recovery again. Mr. Scott had a remarkable career as far as is known, and very much of his life is a mystery. Being reserved when asked about his family affairs, little is positively known of his relatives. He came to Alburtis as a stranger and made his home in a family equally unknown there before. Being a discharged and disabled soldier, he manufactured and peddled medicine and traveled about, despite his malady, in all parts of the State. His preparations were generally good and he sold lots of them. This enabled him to live quite comfortably as a boarder in the family of Mr. Troutman, with whom he first put up and where he made his home until he married. The latter event took place about six years ago, when he was wedded to a Miss Rothenberger, an estimable woman of Alburtis. Ever since his recovery from his terrible affliction, he appeared an entirely changed man. True, he was very glad to be rid of it and attributed his remarkable recovery to Divine Providence rather than any earthly cause; still his mind had evidently been affected in some way and through his sufferings, which altered him considerably. He never indulged in intoxicants and was of a moral disposition. His well wishes to young and old were given so heartily that many a one felt encouraged by his “God bless you,” “Wish you a bushel of greenbacks,” and similar expressions he always used when he met an acquaintance. To children he was an especial friend and he had a kind word or gift for all he met. Disease came suddenly on him last Thursday and after but a short time affected he died that night. Drs. Mohr and Barndt, of Alburtis, pronounced his sickness cholera morbus. The funeral took place yesterday (Wednesday) forenoon and burial was made to Longswamp Church, near Shamrock.
