Cornerstone layings mark Bethany Orphans anniversary
A $40 000 Reed Cottage cornerstone laying in connection with Bethany Orphans’ 68th anniversary occurred this afternoon in Sellersville. Ira S Reed, of Sellersville, is a church member. In Pittsburgh Nicola Murdick’s wooden leg saved him from drowning after falling into the Monongahela River. A 61-year-old man chose to end his life there and was pulled from the water. Dr Jus W Rheilogg, head of foris and chemistry, blamed iced tea at a Garsonia Park picnic for illness among picnickers, saying zinc contamination caused poisoning.
