A young German, John ROHA, in the employ of S. H. TREON, Esq., of this place,
while chopping in the woods, on Friday last, met with an accident which caused
his death on the following day. ROHA, with several others, were engaged in
chopping and after a tree had been felled, he mounted the log for the purpose
of cutting it in two. The end of the log on which he stood projected over
another, and when he had chopped it off, it fell nearly to the ground, hanging
by some small slivers. In attempting to cut off the slivers, it suddenly became
separated and being on a side hill, rolled down catching him between that and
another log. He was immediately released by the other workmen, but his internal
injuries were so great that he died on Saturday evening.

The Rev. James J.
Ruddick Died 3-18-2007 age 83
The Rev. James J. Ruddick,
professor emeritus at Canisius College and a counselor and spiritual director
to fellow priests and women religious, died Sunday, March 18, 2007; he was 83.
The son of Mary Cordelia Litzelman and James H. Ruddick, he is survived by
three sisters, Helen (Arnold) Bentley in Elmira, Madeline Dailey in Bethlehem
and Sister Theresa Rutty and one brother, John (Joyce) in Wilmington.
His mother grew up on the Litzelman homestead at the top of Gainer Hill. Fr.
Jim spoke of many happy visits with his family to the farm and never failed when
in the area to reminisce at that site.
Father Jim celebrated his first mass in the area at St. Basil’s Church in June
1955 and again on July 17, 2005 as part of his 50th anniversary celebration as
a Jesuit priest. He made several visits to the area in conjunction with family
and related genealogy gatherings at the Forksville Fairgrounds. His
contributions to these genealogies can be viewed on the Sullivan County web
site.
He taught physics at Canisius for nearly 40 years and was the director of the
college’s Braum Seismograph Station. He also served as associate vicar for
religious for the Catholic Diocese of Buffalo.
The Elmira native was a 1940 graduate of Elmira Catholic High School and
entered the Society of Jesus the same year. He earned a bachelor’s degree from
Woodstock College in 1946 and a master’s and doctoral degree from St. Louis
University in 1950 and 1952. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1955 at
Fordham University Chapel in the Bronx.
He joined Canisius’ physics department as an assistant professor in 1957. A
seismologist, he served as chairman of the department from 1959 to 1970. He was
rector of the Canisius Jesuit community from 1971 to 1977, a time period during
which he also served on the college’s board of trustees.
Fr. Ruddick also enjoyed the study of genealogy and necrology. In 1994, he was
promoted to professor emeritus at Canisius.
Since 1989, he served in the office of religious for the diocese and helped
organize the annual Retirement Fund for Religious drive. He assisted for the
past five years at St. Ann parish on Broadway, where he lived in the parish
residence.
Fr. Ruddick rarely missed a jubilee celebration for fellow priests and women
religious, and he was a constant presence at wakes and funerals, always
gravitating toward people in good times and bad, said the Rev. Patrick J.
Lynch, chairman of the department of religious studies and theology at the
college.
“He was a conversationalist without equal in the Jesuit Community at Canisius
College,” said Lynch. If he had chosen another path in life, he would probably
have been a politician.

Dr.
William F. Randall, (In hunting picture
with Wendell Sick) The
Sullivan Review July 24, 1913
DR. W.F. RANDALL LOSES HIS LIFE IN TRYING TO RESCUE ANOTHER
Met Death Bravely in a Well at His Headley Ave Home
Dr. William F. Randall of Dushore, one of the best known physicians in Northern
Pennsylvania met his death in the most tragic way, last Thursday evening, in a
well at his Headley avenue home. He was overcome by gas in the well while
trying to rescue Zack Cole who had also been over-come.
Story of Accident
The water from the Water Company's reservoir has been unfit for use for some
time and Dr. Randall like others in town, decided to establish a supply of his
own. An abandoned well at the side of his house was opened and repairs were
being made whereby a supply of water could be had. The well is about 90 feet
deep; 35 feet of it being dug and the remainder drilled. On Saturday, six days
before the accident, a blast of dynamite was used at the bottom of the well to
produce a supply of water.
After waiting six days, Thursday afternoon at about 5:30 o'clock Zack Cole went
down to the bottom of the dug part of the well to make pipe connections.
Cole completed his work and ready to ascend when he became dizzy and then
collapsed.
Dr. Randall seeing the condition Cole was in quickly decended on a rope, hoping
to rescure him. The doctor tied the rope around Cole's body and by the aid of
half a dozen women, who sat on the legs of the tri-pod to keep them from
slipping, Jerome O'Neil, two other men pulled the doctor and Cole up about 10
feet to the top of the curbing. Here Dr. Randall called up that he felt faint
and wanted to rest a moment.
The telephone had been made use of and just at this time Harland McCarty, clerk
in Pealer's drug store, appeared on the scene.
McCarty decended into the well and before he could get a rope around Dr.
Randall's body, he, the doctor, either slipped or became unconscious from the
gas, and fell the distance of about 10 feet to the bottom of the well.
Cole was then pulled out and the rope lowered to McCarty who put it around his
own body. He was pulled out and on reaching the top fell to the ground in an
unconscious, condition, but was soon revived by willing hands.
Mr. Cole remained unconscious for over two hours and was in a dangerous
condition all the next day.
As soon as McCarty and Cole were out of the well, the rope was placed around
Robert Pealer, who had at that moment arrived, and he was lowered to the bottom
of the well, where he found Dr. Randall lying in a crouched position with his
head under water.
Pealer was unable to make use of the rope so locking his arms around Dr.
Randall's body they were both pulled from the well. Pealer, Like McCarty, was
nearly overcome with gas.
Dr. Randall's body was taken onto the porch of his home and there six doctors
and other willing hands worked for three hours and fifty minutes, in a heroic
effort to revive him.
While Dr. Randall was dead in all appearances, yet every means was resorted to
in hopes of reviving him. Artificial respiration and the administering of
oxygen were of no avail. It was not until nearly four hours had passed that the
doctors ceased work and even then they were loath to give up the fight to save
Dr. Randall's life.
The exact cause of Dr. Randall's death is unknown, but it is believed his being
overcome with gas and the fall coupled together were the cause. A statement by
the doctors was that it was not due to drowning as they found no water in his
lungs.
The doctor's head and body were badly bruised. There were five bad knocks on
his head, two of which were fractures of the skull.
WAS WELL KNOWN
Dr. Randall was very well known all through Sullivan and adjoining counties and
had a wide acquaintance throughout Northern Pennsylvania. He was a man of
sterling character, and an honor and credit to his profession and the
community.
As has truthfully been said, he never shirked a duty, never turned his back on
a person in distress and died a hero. It was without thought of his own safety
or debate of what the consequences might be, that he rushed to the rescue of
another, at the cost of his own life in the noble effort.
Dr. Randall had two very close calls before. One was at the breaker at Bernice
several years ago and just about a year ago he was badly burned when gasoline
in his auto took fire. His clothing ignited and he leaped ten feet into the
creek just south of Main street bridge, where extinguished the flames by rolling
into the water his ankle was fractured when he leaped into the creek.

local lodge of Maccabees.

coming to Dushore, attended the services and took active part in the

little children. He being the oldest it fell upon him to resume the
responsibilities of a father which he ever after held. Dr. Randall and his
father both died in their 46th year of life.

I
am posting Kay's e-mail message to me. Bob Sweeney:
Susan Knable married a Mathias Kees, not Keyes.
In
going over Family Treemaker researching on the internet, I found a descendant
of her's from CA. He says that Susan married Mathias Kees, b 27 Sept 1839 in
Kirchweiler, Germany. They married in Mpls on 27 Sept 1866. Lynn Blazek from
the query page on Sullivan Co. ([email protected]) states that Andrew Knable
wrote that they left Sullivan Co. on 24 Oct 1865, which was only a month after
Margaret died. Also that a sister of Margaret's married an uncle of Hannah
Rohe, and I believe that Hannah's father
was Valentine Rohe according to census
records for 1850 and 1860.
Our
family seems to think her sister,
besides Caroline, which we know is true, was Sabrina. I also think that upon
reading the writing on the will of Charles Napoleon Lefever, his wife's name
may be Sabina instead of Sabrina.
Louisa,
dau of Andrew and Margaret married a Patrick Gallagher, no date, but she was
born June, 1854, so she couldn't have married before they moved. Lynn has the
baptismal dates and sponsors for the children of Andrew and Margaret and that
is hers to give to you as she wishes.
Your
mail should arrive Monday. Best wishes, Kay
Also, Charles Knable, bro of Susan Knaeble Kees, married Susan, sister
of Mathias Kees. I will try to contact the Rohe connection. She refused me
e-mail last time, so will try again.
Got
an e-mail from [email protected] about the Rohe family and the aol postmaster
sent it back as undeliverable.

Their oldest child was

She and Valentine were born

From Kay Ostertag, Aug. 1999
Valentine Rohe was the
father of Hannah Rohe, who married Henry Knable first. She was 17 on the 1860
census and had a two month old daughter, Hannah S. with Henry, 27. He only
lived a few years, so the family says, and she married William. There is an
article from the paper here in Minnesota when he was 82 telling about the
couple and his company in the civil war, etc. Anyway, I am trying to find a
death record for the boy's mother, Margaret Lefever Knable who died 24 Sept
1865. By the way, William was the brother of Henry, age 26 in 1860 and not
living in Sullivan County, PA, any longer that I can see.
xx
From
Kay Ostertag,
Looking especially for
information on these families who lived in Dushore, Cherry Township, Sullivan
County, PA - especially Margaret Lefever Knable, wife of Andrew Knable, born in
France ca 1808,
lady-in-waiting to the Queen of France before she came over.
I believe they came to
Cherry Twp in the late 1830's from NYC and they had 11-14 children. Margaret
died 24 Sept 1865 at her home there and then husband Andrew moved to Minnesota
with some or most or all of their children. Some would have been old enough
then to have stayed behind.
I am led to believe that
Margaret was the niece of Joseph Francois Lefever,
Marschal of Napoleon's and made Duke of Danzig by him,
and later made a Peer of
the Realm by the King of France.
I am looking for
Margaret's birthplace in France and her parent's names.
She supposedly came with a
sister, Caroline who married James
Thall, a sister Sabrina who married and L. Rohe and a brother Charles, who
I think is the Charles Lefever from Montoursville, Lycoming County, PA who died
in 1863 and had a wife Sabrina. Any information I have I will share. Henry
Knable married Hannah Rohe ca 1858, died a few years later and his brother
William married her then. They came to Minnensota also.
