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.

ARTHUR G. 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.
DAUGHTER BORN
Born, to Mr. and Mrs. D. S. Kellam, November 8, in the George Washington University Hospital, Washington, D. C., a daughter, Carol Sue. Mr. and Mrs. Kellam have one other child, Donald Swift.
AGED RESIDENT DIES FROM BURNS
Miss Rose Crane, Many Years Teacher in Local Schools, Mourned By Many.
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.

• 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.
