Coloman Weisbrod The
Sullivan Review, 2-10-1937
Coloman Weisbrod of Cherry township
was instantly killed, Friday, while working in a wood lot on his farm.
He went out alone, with his team and when he did not appear for dinner his wife
became anxious and sent a neighbor’s children out to look for him. They
returned with the team but failed to locate Mr. Weisbrod.
A searching party was then organized and Stephen Litzelman a neighbor, and Mrs.
Hilda Josat, a cousin found the body with the head crushed under a fallen tree.
It is believed that the tree lodged and in attempting to cut it down he was
caught. Evidently he saw the tree falling and tried to escape, for if he had
been able to move just a few inches farther he would have been behind another
tree.
The body was brought to the Holcombe funeral parlor where it was prepared for
burial.
Mr. Weisbrod was 57 years of age. He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Emma
Weisbrod, two daughters, Mrs. Wilma Hawk and Mrs. Myrtle Wilson of
Williamsport, one son Quentin Weisbrod at home, one sister, Miss Cynthia
Weisbrod of Cherry township, four brothers Walter and Lewis Weisbrod of Cherry
township, Herbert Weisbrod of Warner, N.Y. and Stephen Weisbrod of Granville

Funeral service was held from the late home Monday morning with further service

Besides his children Herbert Weisbrod of Warner, N.Y. and Stephen Weisbrod of
Granville attended the funeral.

Weisbrod, Mabel
d. 9-24-1942 (Home saddened by 2 deaths in 4 days) Newspaper clipping 9-1942
Word was received last week
that Miss Mabel Weisbrod, daughter of Mr.and Mrs. Walter Weisbrod of Cherry
township had died in the St.Joseph Hospital at Philadelphia, Thursday,
September 24th at 2:35 p.m.
This was a great shock to the
family, as Miss Weisbrod had mysteriously disappeared on June 3rd and up to this time had not been heard from.
When she left home it was
with the intention of going to Williamsport where she expected to enter a
hospital to train for a nurse. She was last on the streets in that city, but
never reported at the hospital. Every effort
has been put forth on the part of the family since that time to find some trace
of her, but it proved futile.
On Monday she became ill at
the house where she was boarding. The
land lady called a city policeman and had her removed to St.Jospeh’s
hospital. Upon examination of her suitcase,
the hospital secured names of her parents, and immediately called them, stating
that she was in a serious condition. Her
brother left at once for Philadelphia and was with her when she died on
Thursday. Her death certificate gave the
cause of death as “myocarditis” – a heat affliction.
She was 20 years, six months
and 17 days of age.
The body was brought to the
home of her parents, from whose residence the funeral was held on Monday
morning, at 10 o’clock with further service in the Reformed Presbyterian church
at this place. Interment was in the
family plot in Peace Cemetery.
She is survived by her
parents and the following brothers and sisters:
Maynard, Robert, Ralph, Edna and Charles at home; Carol of Dushore RD2,
Raymond of Camp Gordon, Ga., Mrs. A.H. Trick, Cherry township; Mrs. Preston
Trick, Hughesville.
Mabel was a
graduate of Cherry township high school at Mildred, and was a very earnest
worker in the Reformed church and Sunday School. She took an active part in all the activities
of the young people and had many friends in this community.

officiating. Judge Yonkin is survived by
his wife, and one son, Ira B. Yonkin.
John Yonkin, 2nd was born in Cherry Township, September 26, 1820, and if
he had only lived until that day of this month would have been 75 years of
age. His father was Henry Yonkin, a
native of Havre, France, and his mother was Barbara Hartzig, a native of
Switzerland. They came to what is now Sullivan County in 1824, and settled on a
small farm, which was then a part of the great wilderness. Here his children
were born as follows: John, the subject
of this sketch, Mary C, who married William Smith; Charles, living in Forks
township; George W. residing in Dushore borough; Ellen, the wife of Henry
Huffmaster; William H. a farmer of Cherry township; Jacob & Emily, died

for some time has operated the farm.
John Yonkin has for a generation been a man of prominence in Sullivan
County, and besides filling many offices of trust in Cherry Township he was (in
1878) elected county commissioner and served three years.
In 1891 he was elected
associate judge of Sullivan County and served five years.
In politics he was a staunch Democrat, and his unswerving loyalty to his party
brought him the honorable recognition and responsible positions to which he was
elected. As a man he was eminently
honest and upright, a firm and pleasant gentleman. He will be missed wherever
he was known, and that was all over the county.
His funeral Sunday was very largely attended by friends and relatives.

Mrs. Emily Sollinger Ward The
Sullivan Review, 4-13-1944
Mrs. Emily Sollinger Ward of Moscow,
celebrated the 97th anniversary of her birthday on Wednesday, March 29th at her
home.
She was born in Cherry township, on the farm now owned by Arthur Huffmaster,
youngest daughter of the late Joseph and Mary Borde Sollinger, who settled on
that farm in 1829. Her father was drowned while fording the Loyalsock creek at
Ringdale, when she was a young girl.
She was united in marriage with Thomas J. Ward of Wilkes-Barre, and left
Sullivan County in 1874 for a home in the Anthracite region.
She is still very active (remembering very distinctly when the boys left
Sullivan count to engage in the Civil War, and has seen the boys from her
adopted county leave and some of them return from all wars since that time.)
She has a number of nieces and nephews still living in this vicinity. Her older
sister Mary Sollinger was the wife of Joseph Marshall of Cherry township; her
second oldest sister married the late Augustus Sick of Forks township, and her
third oldest sister was the wife of the Anthony Tourschner of Satterfield.
