POTTER COUNTY, Vol.. xxix. SCALDED TO DEATH AT GALETON FRIDAY
John Hudaco, a Hungarian, -Was the Victim Two Others Badly Scalded.
A STEAM PIPE BURST
By the bursting of a steam pipe in the Penn Tanning Compary's plant at Galeton Friday morning, John Hudaco, a Hungarian, was so badly scalded that death was the result. Mr Harer, an engineer of the plant, was also scalded but not seriously. George Lambert, night watchman, was very seriously scalded about the head, shoulders, arms and chest. He was knocked down by the shock and was compelled to crawl out of the course of the steam on his hands and knees. It is said the explosion was caused by the engineer turning steam into the cold pipes, causing a valve to be blown out. Hudaco's death was probably caused by being struck by the valve, and although his flesh was so badly scalded that it was fairly cooked, it is hardly probable he experienced any pain as the result, as he undoubtedly was instantly killed by the blow of valve.

During his former pastorage here he made a large number of friends who will be pleased to hear of his willingness to again take up the work here and will give him a hearty welcome, which he justly deserves. Rev. Stetler was offered charges where the salary was larger, but his love for his former church members, and the wishes of his wife, combined in bringing about his return.

The Late Harry A. Scovllle
Born, March 10th, 1851.
Died February 20th, 1903
The report of the death of Harry A. Scoville, Friday, caused sadness in the hearts of every man, woman and child who had known the man. It was, indeed, hard to believe that the man whose kind, friendly face had shone upon all less than a week before lay cold in death, as the result of pneumonia. Mr. Scoville was a man whom everyone liked, day in and day out he was the same ever bright, cheerful sympathetic and helpful. He was a man of men. The pages of his life book can be read from beginning to end and there cannot be found one discreditable page, so honorable had been the pathway he had trodden. At his home, his lodge or his club he was the same congenial, forbearing, self-sacrificing man, whose greatest happiness was derived from the happiness he was able to afford others. In all circles in which he mlngled he was deservedly popular and respected, and the places made vacant by his death can not be easily filled.
Deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Scoville, and was born in Harrison township, this county, March 10, 1851.
In September, 1877, he was married to Franke Johnson of Woodhull, who died In August. 1878.
In 1879, Mr. Scovllle, who had been studying law in the office of Benson & Peck, was admitted to the bar and afterward moved to Rlxford where he remained for two years and then returned to this place where he lived during the remainder of his life.
In September, 1882, deceased was married to Milla Armstrong, of this place, who, with three children, survive him.
Thirteen years ago Mr Scoville was elected district attorney and conducted the work of that office in a creditable manner.
Other survivors of Mr Scoviville are,
- his sister, Viola Scoville, Palmatier;
and brothers,
- W. H. Scoville, of Millport;
- Perry Scoville, half brother, of Harrison township.
Mr. Scoville was a prominent member of the three Masonic bodies, and was secretary of Eulalia Lodge, F. & A. M., No. 332, Coudersport Chapter, R. A. M., No. 263, Potter Commandery, No. 69. He wa a Past Master of Eulalia Lodge,
Past High Priest of Chapter, and has taken thirty-second degree in Consistory. Since the organization of the Coudere Club he has been its secretary, and he will be greatly missed by all who visited the club. His funeral was in charge of the Blue Lodge. At 1:30, Monday, a prayer was offered at the home, after which the sad friends followed the ramains to the church where a choir, composed of
-W. A, Barnes -E G Marion,
-Mrs. F. A. Leet & -Miss Mina Raymond,
rendered some very appropriate, impressive selections, followed bv a sermon and prayer by Rev. VanKeuren. At the grave the Masonic services were held.
