  	20240531GHLn- Harold B Von Nieda Opens Western Auto Store on Main ST; Harry W Nelson Dies, Well Known Attorney The Potter Enterprise Coudersport, Pennsylvania • Thu, Nov 23, 1939 p1 wetzupdoc • 38 seconds ago COUDERSPORT, PENNA., Tuesday served playettes, Quintuplets," singing • ATTORNEY DIES WELL KNOWN MAN Prominent in Fraternal Circles, Harry W. Nelson Will Be Greatly Missed. Death claimed Harry W. Nelson at the Coudersport General Hospital Sunday morning at 8:00 o'clock. He had been a patient there for two weeks and for a time his friends did not consider his condition as serious. A short time previous to the end it was realized there was little hope for him. Harry Wood Nelson was the son of Hall T. and Annett Goff Nelson. He was born in Coudersport August 20, 1871, and Coudersport was always his home. Mr. Nelson received his education in the local school and the old Coudersport Academy, and studied law in the office of J. Newton Peck. He was admitted to practice over 40 years HARRY W. NELSON ago. He served the county some years ago as district attorney, and he had served for a long period of years as referee in bankruptcy. He became a member of the Masonic fraternity in early manhood and was secretary of Eulalia Lodge, No. 342, over a long period of time. He was a member of Coudersport Consistory, served for a time as secretary and for many years he was the organist. He was also an Odd Fellow and was holding the position of District Deputy Grand Master at the time of his death. One aunt, Mrs. Oliva Park, Waverly, is the nearest surviving relative. Mr. Nelson was possessed of a remarkable memory, especially for names and faces, and hundreds of fraternal brothers will mourn his passing. Rev. F. F. Snyder, former Rector of Christ Church, now of Williamsport, came to Coudersport and conducted the last rites from the Consistory Cathedral at 2:00 o'clock Tuesday, as he had promised to do when Mr. Nelson was seriously ill two or three years ago. The deceased had been a faithful member of that church for a long time and at times when the church was temporarily without a rector he acted that capacity. Burial was made Eulalia cemetery. NEW STORE OPENS IN COUDERSPORT Harold B. Von Nieda • Will Cater to Needs of Motorists With Big Fine Line. An outstanding event in Coudersport's business history is the opening of the new Western Auto Associate Store, owned and operated by Harold B. Von Nieda on Main street. Most car owners in this vicinity are familiar with the Western Auto Supply Company of Kansas City. It is the oldest and largest organization of its kind, founded in 1909 and now more than 200 stores all the United operating, States, which were formerly the exclusive outlets for many of its well-known brands of merchandise. Now, however, the company is wholesaling these products to more than 1,200 individual merchants throughout the country, enabling them to offer the public this same merchandise with an established reputation for quality at moneysaving prices. It is stated that the new store offers the largest and most complete stocks of auto supplies and accessories, also radios, bicycles, sporting goods and a varied line of hardware items, all at prices that compare favorably with those of the big company-owned stores. Every item is of selected quality and backed by "Satisfaction or Money Back." Mr. Von Nieda is well known in Coudersport and has a host of friends who wish him well in his new enterprise. The new store is now open for business, but Saturday will be "Official Opening Day" and Mr. Von Nieda promises to have special prices on a number of popular items in honor of the occasion. ENTERTAINED MOTHER Mr. and Mrs. Louis P. Chastain entertained at their home here Friday evening in honor of her mother, Mrs. Milo Lyman, the occasion being her 72nd birthday anniversary.

Bringing water for the house, feeding hens, gathering eggs, milking, help cutting wood for the stove, helped plant corn and potatoes, pitched hay and drove the team on a hay fork. In the fall, dug potatoes, picked corn and thrashed beans with a flail, one short stick tied to a longer stick (handle) with a leather cord. Several summers before leaving for college, I lived at home but worked out. Two summers I worked for a contractor (Mr. Singer) mostly building cement walks for the village of Richburg. All cement was mixed and handled by short handled shovel. The first week I felt like giving up. Worked beside a mature man (Mr. Spears) who had spend several years grading railroad ties, etc. He could handle a shovel. I doubt if there were long handled shovels at this time. By two weeks I could shovel either right or left. Ten hours was a days work and often we worked twelve to finish the job. No overtime pay. Another summer I worked for a farmer on the East Branch, North of Richburg. He was down right tight. He would say to me, “Now while we rest for a moment we will go over and cut a few blocks of firewood.” I know he bought brown sugar and mixed it with maple sugar, selling it at maple syrup prices, for maple syrup. One summer I worked for Mr. Daugherty, an oil man of Bolivar. I believe a father (priest) had an interest in the lease. Father came several times while I was working, breath smelled rather strong of his morning drink. This was heavy work. Digging forms in the earth. Breaking stones for cement. These large cement foundations were for engine blocks and power wheels used in the oil business. All cement mixing, etc., by hand shovel. They paid me well. Another summer I worked on a farm at Myrtle, below Little Genesee, NY. Lived with a farmer, his name, Paris Green. He was Laura Fisk Hasard’s grandfather. A good man but awful poor in worldly goods. Worked for Mr. Kriley away upon a hill west of Richburg. He had a large farm, also oil producer. I used my bicycle to and from work. Walked the bicycle half way up to work so I could ride it back at night. Before starting home, I would go over all the nuts and tires. Away I went. Seldom did I meet anyone. Had road all to myself. Some of the pumpers along the road said I rode too fast. But I was cocky and sure of myself. Near the bottom of the hill was a wooden bridge 10 or 15 foot. I know there were times I never touched that bridge. Then I pasted and trimmed wallpaper for my father. He paid me well. So well that I missed a year of High School to work with him. He did not approve for he wanted me to get an education. All one summer we worked papering and painting the interior of the Newton House in Bolivar. Went back home only weekends. We lived well that summer at the Newton House. We ate in the dining room and the waitresses seemed to enjoy having me eat. Often I had two or three pieces of pie, etc. The summer before I was married I painted houses in Hebron, PA. Remember one house owned by Mr. Ball. There is where I picked up a nail in my foot. Bothered me for several weeks. While my parents lived at Hebron I made several cross country trips to Roulette, PA. Over the hills and farm lands by the way of Crandall Hill. By walking up hill and running down it did not take long to cover 10 or 15 miles. One summer while we were home from Bristol, TN, I worked for Father Lyman on the farm, but mostly with Elden Barr on the Roulette water lines and installing plumbing here and there.

LOGUE The story that gained wide circulation Monday that Game Protector A. G. Logue had been shot was much like Mark Twain's comment when he was reported as having died: "Greatly exaggerated." Art was not shot nor half shot. His home was deluged with telephone calls asking if the report was true. The Enterprise had to deny the story many times as did the Enterprise editors at their homes. When an Enterprise writer visited the Logue home where Mr. Logue has his office he found a very busy man. Making a report on the many violations listed elsewhere in this paper is no small job. At any rate the Enterprise is glad to report the genial official as alive, well and busy. BIG BUCK KILLED A Greyhound bus hit and killed a buck deer on the highway above Sweden Valley, about 8:00 o'clock Tuesday morning. It was so badly mangled, the carcass could not be saved.

Miss Rose Crane succumbed Sunday evening at the Coudersport Hospital from burns received that morning at her home on Ross street. In trying to hurry a slowly starting coal fire, Miss Crane poured on gasoline. In a flash she was enveloped in flames from head to foot. Richard Deweese, a relative, asleep upstairs, was aroused by her screams and tried to smother the flames with a rug but in her frenzy Miss Crane eluded him until she was terribly burned. The young man made a brave effort for which he deserves due credit. An ambulance was summoned and she was removed to the hospital, where everything was done to make, her last hours as comfortable as possible. Rose Adelaide Crane was born in Odin, a daughter of Earl G. and Mary Dingee Crane. She, with her family, came to Coudersport at an early age and lived here practically all her life. She was the last of a family of five children. She began her teaching career at the age of 16 and taught first grade in the Coudersport schools for approximately 45 years, being especially successful in teaching the very young. This period was interrupted by a course at the Cook County Normal School in Chicago, Ill., from which she was graduated in 1893. Following her retirement from the public schools, she established a kindergarten in her home, which she conducted until her death. In 1911 a relative, Miss Lura Dingee, now Mrs. L. J. Costello of Woodbury, N.J., after the death of her parents, came here to make her home with Miss Crane. Later Miss Crane became guardian to Mrs. Foster Gwilliam of Wenonah, N. J., the former Jewell Deweese, and her brother, Richard Deweese, who still made his home with the deceased. No nearer relatives survive. Funeral services were held at 2:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon at the Seventh Day Adventist Church, of which she had been a devout member for many years. The pastor, the Rev. M. W. Sickler, officiated. UNDERGOES APPENDECTOMY Mrs. Harold Von Nieda underwent an appendectomy Tuesday morning at the Coudersport Hospital.

Nelson Will Be Greatly Missed. Death claimed Harry W. Nelson at the Coudersport General Hospital Sunday morning at 8:00 o'clock. He had been a patient there for two weeks and for a time his friends did not consider his condition as serious. A short time previous to the end it was realized there was little hope for him. Harry Wood Nelson was the son of Hall T. and Annett Goff Nelson. He was born in Coudersport August 20, 1871, and Coudersport was always his home. Mr. Nelson received his education in the local school and the old Coudersport Academy, and studied law in the office of J. Newton Peck. He was admitted to practice over 40 years HARRY W. NELSON ago. He served the county some years ago as district attorney, and he had served for a long period of years as referee in bankruptcy. He became a member of the Masonic fraternity in early manhood and was secretary of Eulalia Lodge, No. 342, over a long period of time. He was a member of Coudersport Consistory, served for a time as secretary and for many years he was the organist. He was also an Odd Fellow and was holding the position of District Deputy Grand Master at the time of his death. One aunt, Mrs. Oliva Park, Waverly, is the nearest surviving relative. Mr. Nelson was possessed of a remarkable memory, especially for names and faces, and hundreds of fraternal brothers will mourn his passing. Rev. F. F. Snyder, former Rector of Christ Church, now of Williamsport, came to Coudersport and conducted the last rites from the Consistory Cathedral at 2:00 o'clock Tuesday, as he had promised to do when Mr. Nelson was seriously ill two or three years ago. The deceased had been a faithful member of that church for a long time and at times when the church was temporarily without a rector he acted that capacity. Burial was made Eulalia cemetery.
