Former Coudersport Girl Dies In Leap From Building
Death of Jewell R. Deweese Listed By New York Police As Suicide "For Reasons Unknown" Was Fashion Model.
The death of a former Coudersport girl, and a New York fashion model, whose body was found in the areaway of an apartment house at 50 Park Ave., New York, on Christmas day, has been listed as "suicide for reasons unknown," it was disclosed Sunday.
The victim was Jewell Roberta Deweese, 32, who lived with her parents on Ross St. here, before she went to Philadelphia following graduation from the Coudersport High School in 1934. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Deweese.
JEWELL ROBERTA DEWEESE
New York police described the woman as having had reddish brown hair which had turned almost white, apparently in recent months. They said she was divorced about three years ago from a Collinswood, N. J., man whom she married 10 years ago, and that she was the mother of an eight-year-old girl now living with relatives.
Miss Deweese apparently walked to the roof of the 18-story 50 Park Ave. building sometime late Christmas Eve or early next morning and jumped, police said. Her broken body was found on the roof of a one-story extension at the rear ol an adjoining building at 8 a. m. Christmas Day. There were no witnesses to the plunge.
Miss Deweese had been a fashion model at Bergdorf-Goodman, New York furriers. Previously, she was employed by Oscar's Model Bureau, in Philadelphia, and for a time was a hostess at Stouffer's, a Philadelphia restaurant.
Police said that Miss Deweese's body remained unidentified for two days until her finger prints were matched with those on an application which she made early in the war in seeking to become an en tertainer with the USO. She had "some singing ability," police said.
Born in Coudersport on Jan. 27, Jewell "Bobbie" as she was later known to classmates lived with her parents on Borie St.
The family, including a brother, Richard, later lived on Ross St. with Miss Rose Crane, a relative and a teacher in the Coudersport school.
Jewell's parents were divorced and, according to reports, each has remarried. The mother is reported to be living near Philadelphia and Mr. Deweese is confined to a sanatorium at Niagara Falls.
Richard is married and lives at Niagara Falls, according to local persons who knew the family.
Mrs. Fred Fessenden, Jewel's aunt, lives here. She was informed of the tragedy by friends who had read the story in Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer.
A former Coudersport woman rendered valuable assistance to New York police in their effort to identify the dead woman. Mrs. J. L. Wasson, the former Beatrice Fleschutz and a classmate of Miss Deweese, now living on Long Island, corresponded with Miss Deweese at intervals and knew something of the whereabouts of her parents. Her tip to police led to the identification.
Miss Lehman Bride Of Edward W. Pekarski
The marriage of Miss Rhoda L. Lehman to Edward W. Pekarski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Pekarski, was solemnized last evening at 7:30 o'clock, at St. Eulalia's rectory with the Rev. Francis M. O'Connell officiating.
The bridal couple was attended by Florence Corey and Walter Pekarski, a brother of the groom.
The bride chose for her wedding ensemble a two piece model of dark green shade with brown accessories. Her corsage was fashioned of stephanotis and a feather tied with white ribbon. Her attendant wore a gray suit with black accessories and a corsage of yellow roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Pekarski have an apartment on Water Street ready for their occupancy. Mr. Pekarski is employed at the tannery.
Fails To Pay Fine and Costs --Sent To Jail
Robert Chilson, Ulysses, arrested for a motor violation some weeks ago, failed to make payment of the fine and costs imposed. He was committed to the county jail by Justice D. A. Ritchie, Tuesday, to serve four days.
Faulty Brakes On School Bus Violation
Lloyd A. Tyler, R. D. 3, Coudersport, was charged Friday with operating a school bus with faulty brakes. He was notified by Justice W. C. Klein.
Shinglehouse Man Had No Registration
Roger Bump, Shinglehouse, was charged last Thursday with operating a car without plates. State troopers lodged a complaint with Justice Nellie K. Osburn.

Miss Vera Mclsaac Wed In Single Ring Ceremony
Gowned in White Silk For Marriage To John P. Pekarski in St. Eulalia Church -- Mrs. Gloria Moshier Matron of Honor.
-------------
Miss Vera Mae Mclsaac, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harold McCann, became the bride of John P. Pekarski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Pekarski, at a pretty wedding at St. Eulalia Church, Saturday morning, at 10:00 o'clock. The Rev. Francis M. O'Connell officiated at the single ring ceremony before a background of seasonal flowers effectively arranged.
Miss Gertrude Jordan, organist, offered appropriate music while the guests were assembling and the traditional wedding marches and John M. Beckman sang "On This Day Oh Beautiful Mother," and Rosewig's "Ave Maria."
The bride, who was escorted by her father, chose a model of white silken train. The bodice was fastened with tiny buttons from neck to waist in the back and was fashioned with an off-shoulder neckline with sheer yoke and long sleeves ending in points over the hands. The skirt was trimmed with a V-shaped in sert of narrow lace ruffles coming to a point at the waist and widening toward the hem. Her fingertip length veil was attached to a heart-shaped bonnet with seed pearl trim. She carried a rosary and her bouquet was fashioned of white lilacs, rosebuds, gardenias and lilies of the valley against a white net fan background with white ribbon streamers knotted with lilies of the valley. Her only ornament was a strand of pearls.
Her matron of honor was Mrs. Gloria Moshier. Her gown was floor length in orchid shade made princess style with full skirt. The bodice was buttoned down the front with high neck and Peter Pan collar. She wore a matching picture hat with flower trim at the back and matching mitts. Her bouquet was fashion-ioned of lilacs, roses and lilies of the valley in orchid, yellow and white and tied with yellow ribbons.
The bridesmaids were
- Mrs. June Angood and
- Miss Lois Bradley.
Their dresses were primrose yellow and were fashioned similar to that of the matron of honor. They wore matching picture hats and mitts and their bouquets were tied with orchid ribbons. The bridegroom was attended by his brother, Walter Pekarski, and Frank Pekarski, another brother, and George Dubots, a brother-in-law, were ushers.
Mrs. McCann, mother of the bride, chose a navy blue gown with black accessories and Mrs. Pekarski, mother of the bridegroom, wore an aqua print dress with black accessories. They wore corsages of gardenias.
A reception for relatives and a few intimate friends was held at the McCann home from 1:00 to 2:00 o'clock in the afternoon and another reception in the evening at the home of the bridegroom's sister, Mrs. George Dubots. Mr. and Mrs. Pekarski are at home in an apartment in the home of her parents.
The bride has been employed in the office of the Anchor Toy Corporation and the bridegroom is employed by the Coudersport and Port Allegany Railroad Company.
