came as amicable as—one might desire. Bat she marrifd another man.
A few of tbe citizens remained in
the offing until hair-growers were no
longer an essential fil intent ere tbey
were safely moored in their proper
places. Do we then hold tbat the
ladies are ndt competent to steer an
organization safely through the
shoals ? This would seem an erroneous idea. Looking back from the
time when Joan of Arc, single handed, routed an invading army with a I
tea kettle, to the d_y when Carrie
Nation raised tbe hatchet over the
beer keg, history bristles with the
doings of great women, and women
who led reform ' movements, although these often Jailed to come to
a head, but then man always was a
bad egg and could not readily adjust
himself to the gentlo influences of
woman. Do then our ladies have
the dollar wben they want it, backed up with freedom of speech ? This
would seem to com.: pretty close to
the mark. In fact we make them
our bankers and singly board witb
them, as it were. If ve ran short
of funds we hand in a check for self
which is generally honored providing we can give a satisfactory ao-
count of oar pre vie is expenditures
and our intentions for tbe future,
backed up by certain promises. Is
this then the doctrine advocated by
men of standing? Mostly so, yes;
and I doubt not if put judiciously
into practice Matron*- Clubs may be
eliminated without Causing any serious upheavals.

South mountain Sept. 14; action on
Antietam Creek Sept. 16th, and
battle of Antietam, Sept. 17th. Mr.

honorably discharged July 11, 1863
from tbe Hospital for wound received in action.
He tben returned to his borne
but both parents being dead he remained only a short time. He went
to Philadelphia and learned cigar
making. He also worked a short
time at label printing, and then
went to the soldiers home supported
by the citizens of Philadelphia Here

tben returned to Schuylkill Co. and
worked at cigar making, after this

In 1869 Mr. Hoyer studied at

school successfully for two years in

I have watched the columns of
The'Echo for the last few weeks
with some concern to see somebody
give his views on the article concerning the ways of tbe Matron's
Club. Btit nothing doing. Is then
matfi so henpecked now-a-days that
he /shrinks from approaching the
subject ? It would seem so. Per-
habs a few words of encouragement
will cause some one to take heart.
I must however acknowledge my
wejakness in dealing with this subject as it lies before me and it is
jus t likely that I will wander into
by -ways before I get through with
iU for we have no such organisations
inlour district and I doubt not but
the good citizens would want to sit
down on any movement looking
forward to such an organization on
the ground that it would be highly
detrimental to our institutions. Our
ladies generally give us their mind
iii| person and not in a roundabout
way. Do we then appreciate our
ladies so little that we do not wish
tjhem to organize? Scarcely. It
gave some of us not a little trouble
till* we had - them. We were apparently good enough in a general way
until we showed an inclination to
"set" up with tbe girls When we
were shooed out of tbe district. The
disadvantages of this retrogressive
movement were many.' One sad incident I vividly recall at this moment in wbich I was compelled to
go by daylight in order to find the
way, and arrived just at milking
time. My lady love was tben in the
act of arranging the cows into position in tbe barnyard for the operation. She looked rather pert and
remarked that I was early. I felt
some misgivings rise in my bosom,
but when the chores were done she
got into her best and after the old
folks bad retired our relations be-
Claims Another Vete
With regret, yet in humble sub-
ission to the All-Wise, d'o we announce the death of Beneville Hoyer, one of our honored citizens, and
noble patriots, who in the defence
of his country bad sacrificed bis
right leg and suffered untold agony.
He cheerfully accepted his limitations and patiently worked on.
His patriotic zeal was not diminished as years passed by, as the
slumbering embers of patriotism
seemed to be fanned into a flame at
tbe sight of the stars and stripes, or
at the sound of a patriotic song.
Declining years brought no regrets, and the future is spanned
with the bow .of hope.
Beneville Hoyer was born in
Mahantongo township, Schuylkill
county, Pa, Feb. 12, 1844. He
attended the public schools. At tbe
age of eleven he lost his father and
was obliged to work on a farm for
his board and clothing until be was
seventeen. He was then employed
six months as a teamster for G.
Adams, after which he spent a few
months in a smithy. At tbe age of
eighteen Mr. Hoyer enlisted at Sac-'
ramento, Schuylkill county, Feb.
24, 1862, in Company G, 107th
Regiment Penn'a Volunteers, Col.
Thomas A. Zeigler, afterwards Col.
T. F. McCoy and Capt. M. Murphy.
Service.
He participated in the battles of
Cedar Mountain, Bull Ron, South
Mountain, and Antietam. His company moved to Washington, D. C,
March 9th, 1862. They were forced
to march to Front Royal, Va., to
support Bank's Forces from May
28th to June 1st. Battle of Cedar
mountain August 9th, Northern Va.,
Campaign, August 16th to September 2d; supported batteries at Rappahannock station and river, Aug.
20*22; action at Rappahannock station Aug. 23; near Sulpher Springs
Aug. 25th; Thoroughfare Gap Aug.
28th; battle of Bull Run Aug. 30th;
married in Jackson TWp.
on Nov. 3. 1872 to Caroline Kuntz-
elman, who died of heart failure
Oct. 8, 1892.
Mr. Hoyer was a member of the
Kissinger Post, Na 876, G. A. R.
of Gratz, and P. O. S. of A., Washington Camp, No. 307 of this plaoe,
and a member of the Reformed
church.
He is among the maimed patriots,
suffering much from the loss of his
leg sacrificed in the service of bis
country, but secure in tbe reward
bestowed by a consciousness of duty
faithfully performed and in gratitude j
which all good citizens render to
those who redeemed the life of tbe
nation.
Death occurred on Thanksgiving
about 12:30 p. m. at the age of 62
years, 9 months and 22 days. He
is survived by five children: Jennie
D., wife of Charles Schoffstall of
Ashland, Charles H. of New York,
James M. of Williamstown, Mabel
of Harrisburg, and Anna at home.
His wife and three children preceded him in death. Services were
held in the M. E. church, conducted by Rev. Wehr. Interment in
the Lutheran and Reformed cemetery. The burial services were conducted by tbe G. A. R. Post of Lykens. The P. O. S. of A. of tbis
