| 405 | Except from Chapter XI - Sugarloaf and Benton Townships History of Columbia and Montour Counties, Pennsylvania Three other denominations, the Church of Christ (Disciples), Methodist Episcopal and Methodist Protestant are also represented. Elders John Ellis, J. J. Harvey and John Sutton introduced the doctrines of the sect first mentioned in the autumn of 1836, when they held a protracted meeting in Hess' school-house. It resulted in a number of conversions; four persons, John Kile, Richard Kile, Rebecca Cole and Sarah Steadman were baptized near Guava on the 8th day of December, 1836. These were the first accessions to this faith in Columbia county. Link: http://www.pa-roots.com/columbia/history/chapter11.html | Kile, John Jr (I5371)

| 406 | EZEKIEL CONFAIR, a prominent lumber dealer and agriculturist residing on the Canada Road, in Boggs township, Centre County, is a man of marked influence in that locality. He is connected either by descent or marriage with a number of well-known families of this section, and is himself a native of Howard Township, Centre County, having been born there June 30, 1839. On the paternal side the first ancestor to settle in this locality was his grandfather, Philip Confair, a native of Germany who came at an early day with his wife, Elizabeth, who was born in Ireland, passing their last years in Centre County. Their son, Philip, Jr., was born there and became by occupation an agriculturist in Howard township, engaging also quite extensively in tar burning. He was active in local affairs as a Democrat, and was a leading member of the Disciple Church, as was also his wife, Margaret Wants, a native of Centre county, and a daughter of John and Margaret Wants. She died December 30, 1888, aged seventy-four, and on December 2, 1890, at the advanced age of ninety years, he followed her to the unseen world. To ethics estimable couple fourteen children were born: Samuel (deceased), who married and had one child; Mary (deceased), who married George B. Lucas of Howard Township, Centre County; Michael, a farmer in Howard Township; Philip, a farmer in Curtin township, Centre county; Henry, a farmer and lumberman in Clearfield County; Philinda, widow of Henry Handless, and a resident of Clearfield County; Ezekiel, our subject; Margaret, who died when fifteen months old; Lavina (deceased), formerly the wife of John Mann, of Clinton County; Emeline (deceased), who married Henry Antis, of Centre County; Franklin, a farmer in Howard Township, Centre County; Nicholas, now residing at the old homestead; and Elizabeth, wife of William Unguard, of Watsontown, Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. Ezekiel Confair's early life was spent at the old homestead, and the public schools of the locality furnished the foundation of a good practical education. On December 8, 1859, he was united in marriage with Miss Charity Packer, and soon after established his home upon a rented farm in the same township, belonging to Hiram Baker. Three years later he rented a farm in that township from Gov. Packer, and after four years there he moved to Boss township, where, after occupying and renting property for five years, he purchased (in 1873) his present estate, a fine farm of 158 acres. In July, 1865, he was drafted, but paid $300 to the government for a substitute. Socially, he is a leading member of the Grange at Milesburg, and in religious faith, since the age of thirteen he has been connected with the U.B. Church, with which his wife united when sixteen years old. Mr. and Mrs. Confair have had thirteen children, whose names with dates of birth are as follows: John R., August 20, 1860, died September 12, same year; Martha J., May 4, 1862, married Robert B.

| 436 | February 21, 1933 - October 22, 2024 Howard, Pennsylvania - On a sunny fall afternoon Robert DeArment was welcomed into the arms of Jesus after living 91 years to the fullest on this earth. He was born on February 21, 1933, to Harry and Beulah DeArment in his beloved hometown of Howard, PA. He graduated from Howard High School in 1951 where he played football and basketball. After graduation he enlisted in the U.S. Navy where he proudly served from 1951 to 1955, stationed in Philadelphia. Upon completing his service to his country, Bob returned to Howard where he joined his father in the insurance business, taking over as owner 3 years later. Bob's career in insurance lasted more than 6 decades. But Bob's story was much more than this. He leaves a legacy that is impossible to capture in a few words. But we'll try. Bob the Community Leader When Bob returned to Howard he immediately sought out ways to give back to the community that raised him. He would go on to be a leader in Howard not only as a business owner, but in local government and as a charter member of the Howard Area Lions Club. Through his years of commitment to the Lions Club he was honored as a Melvin Jones Fellow. Bob was also a proud 60-year member of the Howard Fire Company where he volunteered countless hours and held several offices throughout the years. Bob the Musician From an early age music was an important part of Bob's life. As a child his mother gave piano lessons from their home and as he grew up music stayed with him. Bob's instrument of choice was his Martin guitar that accompanied his strong tenor voice. He shared his musical gifts in church with the worship band and as an original member of the Back Porch String Band. In his later years his favorite day of each month was the gathering at the J.K. Yearick Center for the Howard Jam, affectionately known to Bob's family as "Pickin' and Grinnin' Sunday". Bob the Man of Faith Central to Bob's life was his relationship with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He was a member of St. John's United Methodist Church in Howard before joining the Walnut Street Church of Christ, later known as the Howard Christian Church. His leadership roles in the church included serving as an elder and as the church representative for Sylvan Hills Christian Service Camp. But Bob's commitment to walking in the footsteps of Jesus stretched beyond the four walls of the church building. Bob lived Christian ideals and openly shared his relationship with Jesus with those around him. He was a good and faithful servant, and we know he is rejoicing as he walks those streets of gold. Bob the Family Man From the moment Bob spotted the pretty brown eyed Weaver girl from Romola in the halls of Howard High School, everything changed. Bob and Shirley were united in marriage on June 13, 1953 and shared nearly 66 years together before Shirley's passing on June 1, 2019. Their love multiplied as their family grew. Carrying on their legacy are their children Robert, Jr. (Trudy), Joan (Jeffrey), and Richard (Patti). Pappy loved his four girls, his granddaughters Jessica (James), Caitlin (Andrew), Olivia (William), and Taylor (Jeffrey), and cherished his great-grandchildren (Anna, Raegan, Logan, Owen, Cooper, Brady, Evelyn, Hayes, and Opal). Bob is also survived by his brother Don (Margie), sister-in-law Lois, and numerous nieces and nephews. In addition to Shirley and his parents, he was predeceased by his sister Beulah. We invite you to join us in celebrating Bob's life on Saturday, November 2 at the Howard Christian Church at 2 p.m. In lieu of flowers our family suggests you make a donation in Bob's memory to Sylvan Hills Christian Service Camp or to the Howard Fire Company. We extend our appreciation and gratitude to the Skilled Nursing Unit at Juniper Village and to Grane Hospice for their care and compassion as Bob transitioned from this life on to Glory. To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store. Published by Centre Daily Times from Oct. 29 to Oct. 30, 2024. | DeArment, Robert L (I8083)

| 450 | First white settler of Leidy Twp Died from a rattlesnake bite Linn, John Blair, History of Centre & Clinton Counties, pp. 635-642. Simeon Pfouts was the first white man that settled upon the waters of Kettle Creek. He was a man who possessed a strong physical constitution, reckless of danger, with a predilection for wild adventure, having previously traveled extensively amid the wilds of Southern States. In the year 1813 he made his way up the West Branch as far as the mouth of Kettle Creek, which is said to have derived its name from the finding of a kettle in it near its confluence with the Susquehanna by some one of the white settlers residing within the vicinity of its mouth. Ascending that stream a distance of about eight miles, he came to a bend in its course, and on the eastern side was a flat of rich land of sufficient length and breadth for a handsome farm, bounded on the east by a lofty mountain, and on the western side of the creek the rock-crowned summit of Savage Mountain shoots up in the skies to the height of twelve hundred feet. There, amid the wildest scenery, the huge trees of the forest soon began to fall before the steady blows of his axe. The game in the woods and the fish in the creek furnished the largest share of his provision stock. Passing the summer engaged in clearing land and constructing a rude dwelling, in the fall he stepped into his canoe, and was soon moving upon the rapid current of Kettle Creek in the direction of his home in Perry County. In the spring of 1814, bidding adieu to friends and home and the scenes of earlier days, in company with his wife and little boy, then two years old, and a man by the name of Paul Shade, made their way to the Susquehanna River, and packing a few household goods and a stock of provisions into a keel-boat, they started up the river for their new home. Arriving at the mouth of Kettle Creek, they reshipped their goods into a large canoe, which they pushed up the creek to the place selected the year previous by Pfouts. The two men then commenced enlarging their improvement, and the cultivation of the land already cleared; but they were compelled to realize the many disadvantages attending a pioneer life. Situated many miles beyond the confines of civilization, where the voice of a white man was seldom heard, not a road or foot-path gave evidence of the advance of civilization between the waters of the Susquehanna and the Allegheny, - that is, in a northern and western direction. The streams of the township were teeming with trout, deer were very plenty in the woods, wolves roamed through the forests in droves, and panthers were numerous. Mr. Pfouts was an expert hunter, and often would the nimble footed deer fall before the aim of his rifle. On one occasion at least his life was in great peril. He was traveling down the creek, hunting for his cows. At the foot of Spice-wood Island, which is located about a mile below his residence, he found three young panthers lying in their nest of leaves, underneath the shelter of an old root. He quickly gathered them up in his arms, and started for home. When he had arrived within about one-fourth of a mile of his residence the sound of panther yells fell upon his ears. Then commenced a race for life, and Pfouts fully developed the strength of his muscles. Nearer and louder were the terrible screams of that huge monster. Pfouts gained the race by a few feet, and, rushing into the house, he dropped his young panthers, and seizing his rifle shot the panther, which fell dead near his door. At another time, in company with Paul Shade, pushing a canoe up from the river laden with provisions, when within a mile or two of his home, at a point where the channel of the stream is narrow, suddenly an enormous panther leaped from his concealed position among the rocks at the form of Pfouts, and alighted in the water close to the stern of the canoe, the rapid current carrying it some distance down stream before it reached shore. One day, while out hunting with his well-trained dog, he killed four panthers, and the following day he killed another. Near the mouth of Beaver Dam Run he caught one in a trap which measured eleven feet and six inches in length. In 1816 a young female stranger made her appearance, and from that time on constituted one of the family circle, the first white child born on Kettle Creek, still living and occupying the position of wife of Isaac Summerson, being in comfortable and prosperous circumstances, with children and grandchildren in sufficient numbers to form quite a colony. They were the first couple married on Kettle Creek. Mr. Pfouts erected the first saw-mill and grist-mill that was constructed on Kettle Creek. He reared a family of nine children, eight of whom are now living. He died on the 26th of August, 1856, from the bite of a rattle-snake which he held in his hands in a playful manner, demonstrating to a young friend the harmless nature of those venomous reptiles. | Pfoutz, Simeon (I3073)
