Tri County Clippings- Troy Gazette
Register 1902 - Yesterday's News |
||
| These clippings from ancient
and fragile newspapers stored above the Troy Gazette-Register office are
being typed by Tri-County volunteers for presentation on site. Primarily
we are preserving the neighborhood news columns and the obituary, marriage
and birth information included in them. I intend also to include articles
that show the influences on the lives and attitudes of our local populations
at the time, and I will also illustrate the individual pages with ads from
the era. Nothing is more revealing of lifestyle than the goods and services
available.
The TGR covers the area of all townships surrounding Troy and many neighborhoods have a local column submitted, but not necessarily every week or even every year. Our thanks goes to the staff of the Troy Gazette-Register for giving us access to this valuable old news so that we can share it with you. There is no better way to understand the culture and customs of our old communities than by sifting through these clippings. Even the names of some of these old communities have ceased to exist in today's world, but we have them captured and preserved here. If you do not have the time to enjoy the luxury of sifting through clippings, these will be included in the Partitioned PICO Search Engine which you can reach from current What's New Page of the site. There is a partition just for the TGR Clippings. |

"Last Saturday Freeman Philipps of Asylum township went to Towanda and began a drunken debauch that he kept up until Thursday when he was arrested for attempting to shoot his wife. On Wednesday morning Philipps attacked his wife, and in his drunken frenzy threw her to the floor, handling her very roughly and threatening to kill her. As she rose to her feet he caught her by the shoulder with one hand and with the other took a doubled barreled shot gun from the wall and fired. The charge passed within a few inches of his wife’s head and through a screen door.
"Mrs. Philipps is a daughter of Erastus Wilson of New Albany, left the house and came to the home of her sister, Mrs. J. D. Lenox near Evergreen. Yesterday constable M. C. Allen accompanied by Len Marcy went to Philipp’s house and found him lying in bed, still beastly drunk. When the constable served the warrant Philipps threatened to kill him.

Rev. Thomas Mitchell. A Brief Review of His Life and work.
Rev. Thomas Mitchell, had his 85th birthday celebration and sermon on the 14th inst. at the Baptist church.
Mr. Mitchell was born in Eaton, Wyoming Co., Pa., December 15th, 1817, became a member of the Baptist church of that place at the age of sixteen, licensed to preach at the age of twenty, settled as pastor at Rome, Bradford county, in the spring of 1840, was ordained in that place October 27th, 1841, and continued there four years. Since that time he has held pastorates in Springfield thirty-three years, in Troy eight years, in Columbia and Wells six and one-half years, at Pine City, N.Y. three and one-half years and at Canton, Gillett and Austinville for shorter terms.
In 1844 Mr. Mitchell entered upon his pastorate of the Springfield church. Of those who were members of the church at that time two only remain, Joel Adams of Troy, and Mrs. Stephen D. Harkness of Springfield. On Sunday, October 12th, 1902, the reverend clergyman held a preaching service in the Springfield church, commemorating the 58th anniversary of his settlement for the ministry in that place.
There are but two person living, Deacon Andrus Case and wife of Troy, who were members of the Troy Baptist church, when it came under Mr. Mitchell’s pastorate in October, 1852, in connection with his work in Springfield.
During his ministry he has married over three hundred couples, and performed the funeral rites over the remains of over six hundred persons. His active work in the ministry covered a space of sixty-five years, and we have yet to hear of an equal to this record. Still yet, after his long and faithful service, though bearing the marks of many years, he evinces as ever the indomitable energy and keenness of mind that characterizes him. This pioneer clergyman is one of the noted characters in north-eastern Pennsylvania, being widely known in his past work in the extending of the gospel, bearing the great esteem of all who have come in contact with him in any way.
Mr. Mitchell is living with his third wife, and has buried four sons and one daughter. He has two living sons, Henry Kent Mitchell, one of Troy’s prominent attorneys, with whom he has his home, and Frank Adams Mitchell, an employe as bookkeeper of the Niles Tool Works Co., of New York.
