C. SPONG
Mrs. Jeannette C. Spong, 91-year-old resident of RD#1, Morris,
who died Monday, Jan. 18, was a member of the Blackwell United Methodist
Church all her life. Born Nov. 30, 1896 in Blackwell, she was the
daughter of James and Etta Ayers Campbell. She served as church organist
until her health prevented her from doing so. The antique pump organ
still graces the church. Mrs. Spong had many memories of how beautiful
the church was on Children's Day, when the children themselves would decorate
with wild flowers and ferns. At Christmas time, the church was decorated
by adults with pines and a big red paper bell. There was a Christmas
tree so large that its branches could hold the presents. This church was
built in 1892. The land was given by the Lattimer family with the
stipulation that a place of worship be built on it. If the church
was ever sold for any other purpose, the land is to be returned to the
heirs. In 1933, the basement, which is not a finished room, was built by
the W.P.A. It was used for picnic suppers, mostly in the summertime.
The edifice stands as a monument to the love of fellow man which Christianity
stands for. Although the membership has dwindled from approximately 50-75
to five or six, Mrs. Spong was a beautiful example of the people who have
kept this church alive these many years. Her dedication to the church played
an important role in her life. Her strength of character and her
faith will forever serve as an inspiration to those who knew and loved
her. A graduate of Mansfield Normal School in 1924, she taught in
Blackwell and Morris for 38 years. She was a member of the Blackwell United
Methodist Church and the Mary Wells Chapter #452 OES, Wellsboro.
Surviving are a son, Herman, of Wellsboro; two grandsons; and one great-grandchild.

FEENEY Mary
WOMAN KILLED NEAR MORRIS
Accidental Discharge of Shotgun Fatally Wounded Mrs. Kenneth Blackwell
Mrs. Mary Blackwell (Mary Feeney) Aged 26 years, wife of Kenneth
Blackwell, of Endicott, N. Y., formerly of Morris, was almost instantly
killed Saturday morning 8 November 1922 about 10 o'clock by the accidental
discharge of a shotgun in the bands of her husband. Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell
were enjoying a vacation with relatives in Morris and vicinity and were
out hunting near Dixie Run when the accident happened. Mrs. Blackwell was
using a gun belonging to her brother-in-law, which had a safety device
different from her own gun, but she used the borrowed gun because it was
lighter. Being an expert sportswoman, she was interested in the mechanism
of guns and asked her husband if his gun's safety catch was like the one
on the gun she was using. He replied that it was slightly different and
showed her the difference. She took her husband's gun and worked
the "safety," saying she understood it, as she handed it back. It is supposed
that she didn't push the "safety" entirely back in place for not long afterward
as Mr. and Mrs. Blackwell were climbing over a brush pile, Mrs. Blackwell
being ahead, the gun accidentally discharged, the shot striking Mrs. Blackwell
in the back at close range and inflicting a terrible wound through the
lungs. She lived only a few moments. Mr. Blackwell immediately rushed,
with his wife in his arms to his car, some distance away, and in speeding
for help ran off a curve and into a field, where the car was stuck in the
soft ground. Being unable to get the car out on its own power, he seized
the back end of the Buick six, and being a strong man, and his natural
strength being augmented by frenzy over the tragedy, he lifted the rear
end of the car bodily to solid ground and was then able to proceed to the
main road. He reached the main road just as E. A. VanValkenburg,
of Philadelphia, and his son-in-law, C. E. Bennett, of Wellsboro, came
along in Mr. Bennett's car on their way to Wellsboro from Williamsport.
Mr. VanValkenburg went with Mr. Blackwell to the Blackwell home and rendered
what assistance he could while Mr. Bennett rushed on to Morris and took
Dr. R. F. Robinson to the Blackwell home. Coroner William F. White and
District Attorney Charles M. Elliott were also on the scene as soon as
possible and made a thorough investigation, an inquest being | deemed unnecessary.
At the scene of the accident a broken twig was found, which, it is believed,
caught the trigger of the gun and discharged it. Mrs. Blackwell was a member
of the Presbyterian church of Endicott, N. Y., and' of the Eastern Star.
She was a most estimable young woman and her death is mourned by a host
of friends. She is survived by her husband, by her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Feeney, of Endicott, N. Y., formerly of Morris; three sisters and
two brothers Emily, wife of Lyman Sanders, of Johnson City; Ora,
wife of Earl Bendle; Lola, Charles and Elwood Feeney, all of Endicott.
The funeral was held Monday afternoon at two o'clock at the Mt. Pleasant
M. E. church, Rev. Mr. Metzger officiating; interment in the Mt. Pleasant
cemetery. A large number of Eastern Star members and other friends from
Endicott, about 25 automobile loads, attended the funeral.
