the year 1898 may hold still greater pleasures
and richer blessings in store for you.
We know that you will all be pleased to hear
of the continued prosperity of old Normal.
A large number of new students began work
with us with the beginning of the new year.
We are glad to note that the prospects for the
Spring Term are uncommonly good. A large
attendance* is assured.
The H e r a l d has flourished beyond our fond
est expectations during the past year. We are
under many obligations to our friends who
have so kindly kept us informed of events of
interest in connection with their own work
and that of other graduates of the school. We
thank the public for their expressed apprecia
tion of our efforts. We pledge ourselves to
still greater effort during the coming year.
In concluding we again wish to all our
readers “ A Happy New Year.’ ’ .

themselves as made of a little better clay than
the others.
Mary Williams was notin college long before
she found that she must choose her associates
from one of these two classes. In the beginning
she understood that her parents were toiling to
send her to school, and she admired the sterling
independence of the first class. But she had
a girl’s natural longing ‘ ‘ to have a good time, ”
and ere long she looked with longing eyes
toward the other side. She'began to seek her
associates among the wealthier girls, and before
she would have admitted it to herself, she felt
a feeling of disdain for the others.
She ceased to take an active interest in her
studies; she generalized ; attained no mastery
of any subject, but absorbed as much as possi
ble from the recitations, and so she was grad
uated, not with the honors that might have
been hers ; and she went forth from Blank
College with the worst of all faults, a wrong
idea of life.
Mary’s father and mother were practical
people, and When Mary returned, they asked
her what her plans were. She had made none.
Her college life had passed before she realized
that life to her could not be the round of pleas
uire of which she had so often dreamed. Urged
oii by her parents, she tried to secure several
positions, but failed. She then determined to
become a teacher ‘ ‘until something better should
turn up.” She made application for a num
ber of good positions, but was unsuccessful in
her efforts. She was surprised to find that
securing positions is not the easiest work imag
inable. The lesson that, while the world will
always respect credentials, it demands that
those who bear them shall first prove themselves
worthy of them, was being forced upon her.
A t last through the influence of a friend of
her father’s, she secured a position as teacher
in the town of A —-— e.
Mary’s views upon teaching may best be
gleaned from à letter written to one of her stu
dent friends. We give a brief extract:
“ What do you think, Beth? I ’m going to
teach school this year ! Must do something
.
3
to get some cash, you know. I ’ve a Grammar
School at A ----- e ; not much in it for me, but
then I needn’t work very hard and I ’ll have a
good time. You know A Wfc is noted for its
society, quite swell, and all that, and I expect
to be in the swim.”
Mary began her work at A ----- e in Septem
ber. How she succeeded may best be learned
from another letter after she had taught two
months. “ Beth, I ’m in a peck of trouble, yes,
its'my school. I have fifty of the worst kids
in the country in my school. They’re as hard
to manage as a lot of tiger cubs.
But the worst of it is that the impertinent
people of the town presume to criticise me for
having a good time out of the school-room.
You remember I wrote you about Mr. Blake
and his crowd. I ’d been having a good time,
with dances, rides, and suppers, ' but,
would you believe it, some of the directors ob
jected to my going about so much at night.
They spoke to Superintendent Baker, and the
old fogy came to me to suggest that it would
be better for me ‘to give a little more attention
to my school work.’ Suggested that I should
outline and prepare my work more carefully.
I was tempted to tell him that it was no one’s'
business but my own how I spent my evenings.
The old fool also said that I sent more pupils
to him for correction than any other teacher,
as if it were my fault. He suggested that I
show my pupils that I am interested in their
welfare and a lot more rot of that kind. Said
that I ought to appeal to their sense of right;
etc. Now if there is anything I despise more
than another, it is ‘appeals’ of that sort. The
Superintendent told me as a parting shot, that
I ought to direct the reading of my pupils as
the other teachers were doing. The idea ! I
wouldn’t know what to tell the kids to read.
Beth, I could go on and multiply my woes,
but I won’t. I must, however^ give you one
more instance. The teachers have arranged a
reading club and I am supposed to join, to read
and discuss works on Pedagogy. Horrors!
Imagine my reading a lot of dry-as-dust Stuff
of that kind. Oh, I forgot to mention that I
4
T H E NORM AL SCHOOL H ER A LD .
tried the Superintendent’s plan about talking
to the kids. I had one of them in after school
the other day to talk to him. I told him I
was interested in his welfare. I happened to
look away just then, and, upon looking back
suddenly, I caught that kid winking at another
that happened to be in. Beth, if you hear that
I am dead, you’ll know that I died a martyr
to the ‘glorious cause of education.’ ”
It is not necessary to follow the work of
Miss Williams further. It must suffice to say
that she failed in her work, as a teacher, was
not re-elected at A
e, but managed to se
cure a position in another town at a lower
salary. Here, too, she failed, but she did not
profit by her failures and laid the blame upon
others than herself.
W hy did Mary Williams fail as a teacher?
We have tried to write the causes of her failure
into these few phases of her life, but lest they
may escape the attention of the reader, we re
state them.
She was not interested in her work as a
teacher. She taught, or tried to teach, because
it afforded her a means offearning a livelihood;
not because she realized its high duties or the
possibilities for good it opened to her. No true
teacher ever uses the language of Mary W il
liams when speaking of her pupils.
She had a false idea of life. Imbued with
the idea that she was socially above the ma
jority of her pupils,||he could not enter into
their lives and gain theif respect and confi
dence.
She did not have a high moral standard for
herself,-hence she failed to realize that the
example of a teacher out of school, as well as
in school, is of much importance.
She failed to realize that social pleasures
must occupy a secondary place in a teacher’s
life, not the principal one. As a result of the
last named fault she did not prepare her work,
hence her teaching lacked thoroughness. In
Short, she lacked the spirit of a teacher, and
lacking that, she lacked everything.
Teacher, this is no fancy sketch, but the
true story of a failure in teaching. Naines,
places, and a few circumstances only have
been changed. Is Mary Williams the only
teacher who has failed for the reasons men
tioned in this sketch ?
THE DREAM-LIFE OF GIRLS.
L otjisb C. B ritton , ’98.
AY-D REA M S are like springs that burst
forth from among rocks, and every
circumstance of our lives helps to fill
the great invisible reservoir from which they
S
flow.
When a girl arrives at the age so well illus
trated by Longfellow’s “ Maidenhood,” when
“ standing with reluctant feet where the brook
and river meet,” she has reached the time par
ticularly given to dreaming. Not the dark,
mysterious dreams of unsoun|lf slumber, but
those beautiful day-dreams that float like fleecy,
ever changing clouds across the sky of thought
A t this time, the best part of her life is yet
to be lived, and, as may be expected, her
thoughts are busy with plans for her future,
One admirable quality of this occupation is
that it leaves the hands free to perform mechan
ical duties, so whileengaged in the performance
of the humblest household tasks, the narrow
walls may stretch away into long galleries,
down which come trooping friends from the
world of books; for the boundary between bookland and dream-land may be crossed by a sin
gle step.
Here she may renew her acquaintance with
David Copperfield, dear little Dora and calm,
dignified Agnes, while Mr. Micawber and fam
ily stand by hopefully ‘ ‘ waiting for something
to turn up,” There she sees Maud Muller
hand in hand with The Miller’s Daughter,—
here comes Tennyson’s Maud with Longfellow's
sweet Evangeline. Yonder is a group of Drumtochty people, the ungainly figure of Doctor
MacLure conspicuous among others, A troop
of Knights of the Round Table is seen in the
distance, and she readily recognizes their leader,
brave Sir Launcefot.
T H E NORMAE SCHOOL HERARD.
She may even meet those friends of earlier
days, dear old Mother Goose||and Aladdin
with his wonderful lamp.
Perhaps the walls may part to disclose a
stage, upon which is enacted scene after scene
of an imaginary drama, in which she, of course,
plays the part of the leading lady.
The nature of these visions depends upon the
character of the girl and the books she reads.
A strong, resolute character, who delights
in tales of chivalry and of noble and brave
deeds longs to prove herself a second Grace
Darling or Joan of Ark. To her comes the
idea of freeing her sex from the despotic rule
of the tyrant, man. In imagination she thrills
vast audiences with her eloquence, and fondly
dreams of a time when she shall eclipse Belva
Lockwood and Mary Ellen Lease.
The girl of a spiritual temperament, chooses
to build her air castles upon some far away
island, where she may lead the heathen to a
knowledge of the truth.
Perchance, she pictures herself devoting her
life to suffering humanity in some great hos
pital, making her nightly rounds cheering the
sick or closing the eyes of the dying. Mar
tyrdom is the foundation of all her fairy struc
tures, and she dreams of the time when her
name shall be as well known and loved as that
of Clara Barton or Florence Nightingale.
The romantic girl has dreams in keeping
with her sentimental nature. She devotes her?
time to the Duchess’ novels or may rise to
Romeo and Juliet. She sees herself a popular
young lady with suitors by the score. Per
haps she has a vision of a rope laddej|g: a
handsome youth, a carriage and pair in wait
ing, and herself the chief figure in a sensational
elopement.
These are distinct types but most girls are a
mixture of all three. Sooner or later every
girl begins to dream of a wonderful Prince
Charming, whose coming shall awaken her
from pleasant dreams to pleasanter realities.
The sweetest dreams of every girl, however
reluctantly confessed, is the vision of an ideal
home, where, fulfilling the end for which she
5
was destined by her Creator, she shall dwell a
happy Eve in an earthly Paradise.

The meetings have been very interesting
and well attended.
Several joint meetings were held during last

Sociations took part. A special meeting was
called October 14, 1897, for«r the purpose of
prayer for the young women of the colleges of
Pennsylvania. Miss Benner presided over thé
meeting.
Misses Mather and Benner were sent as del
egates to the Y . W. C. A . Convention, which
was held at Wilkesbarre, during the second
week of November, and through their reports
the girls were informed of the work that is being
done by the women, and all were inspired to
work harder for the Master.
The first Sunday of the Winter Term was
opened with a joint meeting. The meeting
was ably led by Mr. Kadel. The topic was
“ Our Temptations and their Conquests.”

A
T the opening of the Winter Term the
members of the Association returned to
Normal bringing with them a number
of new studeritsigiwho. will in the near future
become leaders in the work of the association.
The first meeting in the New Year was a
joint meeting of the two associations in the
large chapel. Among 'the interesting features
of the program that was rendered, we note a
talk given on the topic by J. W ill Kadel, a
recitation by Miss Ethel Ruth, and song by the
Male Quartette.
We are glad to note that the efforts put forth
by the members during the Fall Term were
crowned with gratifying results. The regular
Sunday meetings were always well attended.
Every member seemed desirous of doing his
part of the work, hence the meetings never
lagged. Many interesting programs were pre
sented during the term. The music was espe
cially good. .A male quartette has been organ
ized which will add interest to the meetings in
the future. The meetings held during the

week of prayer were well attended and much
interest was manifested.
Several members of the Association were
sent as delegates to the District Convention
held at Middletown, Dauphin county, October
29-31, 1897. They came back full of enthu
siasm and gavé glowing reports of the work of
the Convention.
The State Convention will be held at Y ork
some time in February, and delegates will -be
sent from our association.. We sincerely hope
and earnestly pray that the work of the asso
ciation will be even more successful this term
than it was during the past term. No pains
will be spared on otir part to make it so.
It is always- a pleasure to note progress, and
we are glad to say that there is every reason to
feel encouraged by the progress Normal So
ciety has made thus far, and especially is this
true of our new members who have manifested
much interest in Normal’s welfare, and have
done willingly the work assigned them.
I f we could but realize the value of the oppor

would never hesitate to improve all that are
given to us, and not one disloyal or unenthusiastic member could be found. The value of
the training for public speaking is almost inestimable. Many a man who has risen to

A Well Known Citizen of Mechanicsburg Passes Away.
R. J. H. BO YER died at the home of
his brother-in-law, Col. W. Penn Lloyd,
in Mechanicsburg, onPThufsday after
the
noon, aged 43 years.
Several weeks ago he was on a professional
visit to Churchtown when he fell upon the street
with what was supposed to be heart failure.
This was the beginning of the end. He rallied
but never recovered. His friends took him to
Philadelphia, but he was beyond the reach of
medical skill. Physicians pronounced it bloodclot upon the brain and a hopeless case.
Jacob Henry Boyer, son of Israel L- and
Eliza Boyer, waS born at the forge near Lisburn.
After passing through the public schools, he
entered the Shippfensburg Normal School, and
among his fellow-students there, were Prof. S.
B. Shearer, Hon. Fillmore Maust and S. C.
Beitzel, of this place. He graduated there,
taught at Lisburn for several years and then
began the study of medicine. After graduating
from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia,
he began practice at Shepherdstown. He then
removed to Shiremanstown and later bought
the Mosser drug store in Mechanicsburg which
he conducted successfully for many years and
until failing health compelled him to sell out.
He rested for a time and then resumed the prac
tice of medicine. Last spring he removed to
Harrisburg and was enjoying a lucrative prac
tice when death suddenly ended his work.
He married Carrie, daughter of Major M.
G., Hale of Shippensburg, and she and one
daughter, Helen®Survive him. He is also
survived by his mother, one sister, Mrs. Lloyd,
and four brothers: Philip M., of near Carlisle;

the year 1898 may hold still greater pleasures
and richer blessings in store for you.
We know that you will all be pleased to hear
of the continued prosperity of old Normal.
A large number of new students began work
with us with the beginning of the new year.
We are glad to note that the prospects for the
Spring Term are uncommonly good. A large
attendance* is assured.
The H e r a l d has flourished beyond our fond
est expectations during the past year. We are
under many obligations to our friends who
have so kindly kept us informed of events of
interest in connection with their own work
and that of other graduates of the school. We
thank the public for their expressed apprecia
tion of our efforts. We pledge ourselves to
still greater effort during the coming year.
In concluding we again wish to all our
readers “ A Happy New Year.’ ’ .

themselves as made of a little better clay than
the others.
Mary Williams was notin college long before
she found that she must choose her associates
from one of these two classes. In the beginning
she understood that her parents were toiling to
send her to school, and she admired the sterling
independence of the first class. But she had
a girl’s natural longing ‘ ‘ to have a good time, ”
and ere long she looked with longing eyes
toward the other side. She'began to seek her
associates among the wealthier girls, and before
she would have admitted it to herself, she felt
a feeling of disdain for the others.
She ceased to take an active interest in her
studies; she generalized ; attained no mastery
of any subject, but absorbed as much as possi
ble from the recitations, and so she was grad
uated, not with the honors that might have
been hers ; and she went forth from Blank
College with the worst of all faults, a wrong
idea of life.
Mary’s father and mother were practical
people, and When Mary returned, they asked
her what her plans were. She had made none.
Her college life had passed before she realized
that life to her could not be the round of pleas
uire of which she had so often dreamed. Urged
oii by her parents, she tried to secure several
positions, but failed. She then determined to
become a teacher ‘ ‘until something better should
turn up.” She made application for a num
ber of good positions, but was unsuccessful in
her efforts. She was surprised to find that
securing positions is not the easiest work imag
inable. The lesson that, while the world will
always respect credentials, it demands that
those who bear them shall first prove themselves
worthy of them, was being forced upon her.
A t last through the influence of a friend of
her father’s, she secured a position as teacher
in the town of A —-— e.
Mary’s views upon teaching may best be
gleaned from à letter written to one of her stu
dent friends. We give a brief extract:
“ What do you think, Beth? I ’m going to
teach school this year ! Must do something
.
3
to get some cash, you know. I ’ve a Grammar
School at A ----- e ; not much in it for me, but
then I needn’t work very hard and I ’ll have a
good time. You know A Wfc is noted for its
society, quite swell, and all that, and I expect
to be in the swim.”
Mary began her work at A ----- e in Septem
ber. How she succeeded may best be learned
from another letter after she had taught two
months. “ Beth, I ’m in a peck of trouble, yes,
its'my school. I have fifty of the worst kids
in the country in my school. They’re as hard
to manage as a lot of tiger cubs.
But the worst of it is that the impertinent
people of the town presume to criticise me for
having a good time out of the school-room.
You remember I wrote you about Mr. Blake
and his crowd. I ’d been having a good time,
with dances, rides, and suppers, ' but,
would you believe it, some of the directors ob
jected to my going about so much at night.
They spoke to Superintendent Baker, and the
old fogy came to me to suggest that it would
be better for me ‘to give a little more attention
to my school work.’ Suggested that I should
outline and prepare my work more carefully.
I was tempted to tell him that it was no one’s'
business but my own how I spent my evenings.
The old fool also said that I sent more pupils
to him for correction than any other teacher,
as if it were my fault. He suggested that I
show my pupils that I am interested in their
welfare and a lot more rot of that kind. Said
that I ought to appeal to their sense of right;
etc. Now if there is anything I despise more
than another, it is ‘appeals’ of that sort. The
Superintendent told me as a parting shot, that
I ought to direct the reading of my pupils as
the other teachers were doing. The idea ! I
wouldn’t know what to tell the kids to read.
Beth, I could go on and multiply my woes,
but I won’t. I must, however^ give you one
more instance. The teachers have arranged a
reading club and I am supposed to join, to read
and discuss works on Pedagogy. Horrors!
Imagine my reading a lot of dry-as-dust Stuff
of that kind. Oh, I forgot to mention that I
4
T H E NORM AL SCHOOL H ER A LD .
tried the Superintendent’s plan about talking
to the kids. I had one of them in after school
the other day to talk to him. I told him I
was interested in his welfare. I happened to
look away just then, and, upon looking back
suddenly, I caught that kid winking at another
that happened to be in. Beth, if you hear that
I am dead, you’ll know that I died a martyr
to the ‘glorious cause of education.’ ”
It is not necessary to follow the work of
Miss Williams further. It must suffice to say
that she failed in her work, as a teacher, was
not re-elected at A
e, but managed to se
cure a position in another town at a lower
salary. Here, too, she failed, but she did not
profit by her failures and laid the blame upon
others than herself.
W hy did Mary Williams fail as a teacher?
We have tried to write the causes of her failure
into these few phases of her life, but lest they
may escape the attention of the reader, we re
state them.
She was not interested in her work as a
teacher. She taught, or tried to teach, because
it afforded her a means offearning a livelihood;
not because she realized its high duties or the
possibilities for good it opened to her. No true
teacher ever uses the language of Mary W il
liams when speaking of her pupils.
She had a false idea of life. Imbued with
the idea that she was socially above the ma
jority of her pupils,||he could not enter into
their lives and gain theif respect and confi
dence.
She did not have a high moral standard for
herself,-hence she failed to realize that the
example of a teacher out of school, as well as
in school, is of much importance.
She failed to realize that social pleasures
must occupy a secondary place in a teacher’s
life, not the principal one. As a result of the
last named fault she did not prepare her work,
hence her teaching lacked thoroughness. In
Short, she lacked the spirit of a teacher, and
lacking that, she lacked everything.
Teacher, this is no fancy sketch, but the
true story of a failure in teaching. Naines,
places, and a few circumstances only have
been changed. Is Mary Williams the only
teacher who has failed for the reasons men
tioned in this sketch ?
THE DREAM-LIFE OF GIRLS.
L otjisb C. B ritton , ’98.
AY-D REA M S are like springs that burst
forth from among rocks, and every
circumstance of our lives helps to fill
the great invisible reservoir from which they
S
flow.
When a girl arrives at the age so well illus
trated by Longfellow’s “ Maidenhood,” when
“ standing with reluctant feet where the brook
and river meet,” she has reached the time par
ticularly given to dreaming. Not the dark,
mysterious dreams of unsoun|lf slumber, but
those beautiful day-dreams that float like fleecy,
ever changing clouds across the sky of thought
A t this time, the best part of her life is yet
to be lived, and, as may be expected, her
thoughts are busy with plans for her future,
One admirable quality of this occupation is
that it leaves the hands free to perform mechan
ical duties, so whileengaged in the performance
of the humblest household tasks, the narrow
walls may stretch away into long galleries,
down which come trooping friends from the
world of books; for the boundary between bookland and dream-land may be crossed by a sin
gle step.
Here she may renew her acquaintance with
David Copperfield, dear little Dora and calm,
dignified Agnes, while Mr. Micawber and fam
ily stand by hopefully ‘ ‘ waiting for something
to turn up,” There she sees Maud Muller
hand in hand with The Miller’s Daughter,—
here comes Tennyson’s Maud with Longfellow's
sweet Evangeline. Yonder is a group of Drumtochty people, the ungainly figure of Doctor
MacLure conspicuous among others, A troop
of Knights of the Round Table is seen in the
distance, and she readily recognizes their leader,
brave Sir Launcefot.
T H E NORMAE SCHOOL HERARD.
She may even meet those friends of earlier
days, dear old Mother Goose||and Aladdin
with his wonderful lamp.
Perhaps the walls may part to disclose a
stage, upon which is enacted scene after scene
of an imaginary drama, in which she, of course,
plays the part of the leading lady.
The nature of these visions depends upon the
character of the girl and the books she reads.
A strong, resolute character, who delights
in tales of chivalry and of noble and brave
deeds longs to prove herself a second Grace
Darling or Joan of Ark. To her comes the
idea of freeing her sex from the despotic rule
of the tyrant, man. In imagination she thrills
vast audiences with her eloquence, and fondly
dreams of a time when she shall eclipse Belva
Lockwood and Mary Ellen Lease.
The girl of a spiritual temperament, chooses
to build her air castles upon some far away
island, where she may lead the heathen to a
knowledge of the truth.
Perchance, she pictures herself devoting her
life to suffering humanity in some great hos
pital, making her nightly rounds cheering the
sick or closing the eyes of the dying. Mar
tyrdom is the foundation of all her fairy struc
tures, and she dreams of the time when her
name shall be as well known and loved as that
of Clara Barton or Florence Nightingale.
The romantic girl has dreams in keeping
with her sentimental nature. She devotes her?
time to the Duchess’ novels or may rise to
Romeo and Juliet. She sees herself a popular
young lady with suitors by the score. Per
haps she has a vision of a rope laddej|g: a
handsome youth, a carriage and pair in wait
ing, and herself the chief figure in a sensational
elopement.
These are distinct types but most girls are a
mixture of all three. Sooner or later every
girl begins to dream of a wonderful Prince
Charming, whose coming shall awaken her
from pleasant dreams to pleasanter realities.
The sweetest dreams of every girl, however
reluctantly confessed, is the vision of an ideal
home, where, fulfilling the end for which she
5
was destined by her Creator, she shall dwell a
happy Eve in an earthly Paradise.

The meetings have been very interesting
and well attended.
Several joint meetings were held during last

Sociations took part. A special meeting was
called October 14, 1897, for«r the purpose of
prayer for the young women of the colleges of
Pennsylvania. Miss Benner presided over thé
meeting.
Misses Mather and Benner were sent as del
egates to the Y . W. C. A . Convention, which
was held at Wilkesbarre, during the second
week of November, and through their reports
the girls were informed of the work that is being
done by the women, and all were inspired to
work harder for the Master.
The first Sunday of the Winter Term was
opened with a joint meeting. The meeting
was ably led by Mr. Kadel. The topic was
“ Our Temptations and their Conquests.”

A
T the opening of the Winter Term the
members of the Association returned to
Normal bringing with them a number
of new studeritsigiwho. will in the near future
become leaders in the work of the association.
The first meeting in the New Year was a
joint meeting of the two associations in the
large chapel. Among 'the interesting features
of the program that was rendered, we note a
talk given on the topic by J. W ill Kadel, a
recitation by Miss Ethel Ruth, and song by the
Male Quartette.
We are glad to note that the efforts put forth
by the members during the Fall Term were
crowned with gratifying results. The regular
Sunday meetings were always well attended.
Every member seemed desirous of doing his
part of the work, hence the meetings never
lagged. Many interesting programs were pre
sented during the term. The music was espe
cially good. .A male quartette has been organ
ized which will add interest to the meetings in
the future. The meetings held during the

week of prayer were well attended and much
interest was manifested.
Several members of the Association were
sent as delegates to the District Convention
held at Middletown, Dauphin county, October
29-31, 1897. They came back full of enthu
siasm and gavé glowing reports of the work of
the Convention.
The State Convention will be held at Y ork
some time in February, and delegates will -be
sent from our association.. We sincerely hope
and earnestly pray that the work of the asso
ciation will be even more successful this term
than it was during the past term. No pains
will be spared on otir part to make it so.
It is always- a pleasure to note progress, and
we are glad to say that there is every reason to
feel encouraged by the progress Normal So
ciety has made thus far, and especially is this
true of our new members who have manifested
much interest in Normal’s welfare, and have
done willingly the work assigned them.

A Well Known Citizen of Mechanicsburg Passes Away.
R. J. H. BO YER died at the home of
his brother-in-law, Col. W. Penn Lloyd,
in Mechanicsburg, onPThufsday after
the
noon, aged 43 years.
Several weeks ago he was on a professional
visit to Churchtown when he fell upon the street
with what was supposed to be heart failure.
This was the beginning of the end. He rallied
but never recovered. His friends took him to
Philadelphia, but he was beyond the reach of
medical skill. Physicians pronounced it bloodclot upon the brain and a hopeless case.
Jacob Henry Boyer, son of Israel L- and
Eliza Boyer, waS born at the forge near Lisburn.
After passing through the public schools, he
entered the Shippfensburg Normal School, and
among his fellow-students there, were Prof. S.
B. Shearer, Hon. Fillmore Maust and S. C.
Beitzel, of this place. He graduated there,
taught at Lisburn for several years and then
began the study of medicine. After graduating
from Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia,
he began practice at Shepherdstown. He then
removed to Shiremanstown and later bought
the Mosser drug store in Mechanicsburg which
he conducted successfully for many years and
until failing health compelled him to sell out.
He rested for a time and then resumed the prac
tice of medicine. Last spring he removed to
Harrisburg and was enjoying a lucrative prac
tice when death suddenly ended his work.
He married Carrie, daughter of Major M.
G., Hale of Shippensburg, and she and one
daughter, Helen®Survive him. He is also
survived by his mother, one sister, Mrs. Lloyd,
and four brothers: Philip M., of near Carlisle;
