ALFRED L. SNELL, editor and associate manager of the Bradford Era, was born at St. Johnsville, Montgomery Co., N. Y., October 20, 1854. His parents were natives of that county, of which their ancestors were pio- neers. Mr. Snell received a liberal education in the public schools, and passed three years at Cornell University, Ithaca, N. Y. From 1877 to 1880 he was engaged in mercantile business in his native town, but university life and the great oil stampede suggested to him a different vocation, and on July 1, 1880, we find him enrolled on the list of the true Bohemians of the Pennsylvania oil fields as reporter and oil statistician for the Derrick. He, assisted by J. C. McMullen, compiled the elaborate report of wells and well owners in Mckean county in 1881, and later reports of production for the producers' committee from July, 1881, to March, 1882. Afterward he became reporter for the Eren- ing Star, but during the summer and fall of 1882 he was among the oil scouts at Cherry Grove, Balltown and the Cooper tract. Subsequently he served as a broker's clerk in the Bradford Oil Exchange; in 1882-83 he was clerk in the clearing house and member of Producers' Oil Exchange, and in August, 1883, with J. C. McMullen and W. C. Armor, he purchased the Petroleum Age, with which he was connected until December, 1887, when he was ap- pointed editor and associate manager of the Era. On June 20, 1883. Mr. Snell married Mary L. Horn, of St. Johnsville, N. Y.

H. S. SOUTHARD, Bradford, Penn., was born in St. Louis, January 9, 1841, a son of Allen and Jane (Hughes) Southard, the former a native of Brooklyn, N. Y., of English descent, the latter a native of Wales. His father was a sea captain who spent most of his life on the ocean and the great lakes.

and at the same time a producer of oil, shipping the oil at that early date, in fat boats to Pittsburgh, down the Allegheny river, in all of which enterprises he met with good snecess. During the years from 1867 to 1870 he was en- gaged in the wholesale dry goods and notion business, under the firm name of Southard, Crawford & McCord, in the city of Erie. His health failing, he was obliged to leave the lake shore for a time and go west. While in Minneapolis he organized the Minneapolis Gas Light Company, and gave his attention to real-estate, making some valuable investments. Returning to Pennsylvania he engaged again in the oil business, and he is now largely identified also in the lumbering interests of MeKean county. He laid out the town of Bordell. the post-office of which bears his name, and organized the Bordell & Rew City Plank Road Company. As a resident of Bradford he is a member of the common council, and president of the Bradford Building and Loan Association.

C. SPANGLER, proprietor of a meat market, Bradford, was born in Ger- many, January 15, 1835, a son of George and Rachel Spangler. His parents came to America in 1838, and settled in Pittsburgh, Penn., where the father died in 1878, and the mother in 1874. Mr. C. Spangler began clerking in a meat market in his youth, and has made that his business thus far through life. In 1865 he located at Oil City, Penn., and established a market, removing thence to Bradford in 1880. Mr. Spangler was married in Allegheny City, Penn., in 1859, to Dora Dune. a daughter of George Dune, who is of German descent, and they have nine children: Charles.

H. M. SPENCE, of the firm of Spence & Dennis, dealers in torpedoes and nitro glycerine, Bradford, was born in Paterson, N. J., June 24, 1852, a son of Archibald and Mary Spence, former of whom was a native of Scotland, and latter of New York, of German descent. He remained at home with his parents, who had removed to Michigan, until twenty-two years of age, when he went to Chicago and worked for the Chicago City Street Railway Company for two years. In 1876 he became interested in the account of the Pennsyl- vania oil fields, and accordingly moved to Bradford, where he engaged in the oil producing business two years, and in 1878 became established in his present business. Mr. Spence was married October 4. 1886, to Miss Dora Davis. daughter of Col. U. L. Davis. In politics Mr. Spence is a Republican, and is a member of the county central committee.

L. M. STERNS, of the firm of Sterns & Milligan, wholesale produce and commission merchants, Bradford, was born in Lake county, Ohio, Novem- ber 3, 1844, a son of Ziba and Eliza (Emerson) Sterns, also natives of Ohio, of English descent. His parents still live on the farm near Madison, where he spent his childhood. After leaving the common schools of his native county Mr. Sterns started in life for himself, his first business venture being in the produce line. In 1878 he moved to Bradford and became established in his present business, conducting it alone until 1881, when Mr. Milligan was admitted as a partner, and their business increased. Mr. Sterns was married May 29. 1866, to Elma D. Hodges, daughter of S. S. Hodges, and they have three children: Mattie, Harry and Eva. Mrs. Sterns is a member of the- Methodist Episcopal Church. In politics Mr. Sterns is a Republican; he is a member of the Masonic fraternity.

RUFUS BARRETT STONE, counselor at law, Bradford, was born in the town of Groton, Mass., November 24, 1847. He is the son of Warren Fay and Mary (Williams) Stone, the former of English and the latter of Welsh descent. His maternal great-grandfather, Jacob Williams, was a Revolution- ary soldier, and his first American ancestor, Thomas Williams, was one of the original proprietors of the town of Groton, which was settled in 1655, and a reputed relative of Roger Williams, founder of the Rhode Island colony. Mr. Stone's paternal ancestry was intermarried with the families of Warren, Prescott and Green, of heroic Revolutionary fame, and is traced directly to Simon Stone, who came to this country in the ship " Increase," in 1635, and settled at Watertown, Mass. His early descendants were engaged in the In- dian wars, a garrison having been established at the house of Deacon John Stone, in Groton, in the year 1691, known in the early records as "Stone's Garrison." Just a hundred years later, and yet as early as 1790, a school kept at his house took the name of a lineal descendant, Jonas Stone. Of the same lineage was Rev. Thomas T. Stone, the oldest living Unitarian minister, the friend of Emerson and Alcott, and a contributor to the Dial. Mr Stone's father followed the trade of a carpenter. He was an anti-slavery Republican, and at the presidential election of 1856 was chosen to the lower house of the Massachusetts legislature. He had three children now living: Charles War- ren Stone, of Warren, ex-lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, and at present secretary of the commonwealth; George Fisher Stone, late city superintendent of public instruction of Bradford, now engaged in the practice of law at South- port, N. C., and Rufus Barrett Stone, the subject of this sketch, of inter- mediate age. The latter, who was but ten years old at his father's death, was reared on his grandfather's farm, which the three sons cultivated during their minority. At the outbreak of the Civil war the lad applied for the posi- tion of powder-boy on a man-of-war, but was rejected. He has had the honor since the war to become a member of the famous Massachusetts Sixth Regi- ment. He attended the district school, high school and Lawrence Academy, where he graduated in the classical department. Subsequently he took a special course at Williams College in the junior year of the class of 1869, from which he was recalled by domestic bereavement. In the latter year he entered the United States Internal Revenue service as chief clerk of the as- sessor of the third district of Mississippi; and later as assistant assessor and deputy collector, he passed through the experiences incident to the perform- ance of such official duties, including the capture of illicit border distilleries

during the days of Southern reconstruction. While so engaged he took up the study of law, and was admitted to practice in 1872 at Hernando, De Soto Co., Miss., before the courts of that district, and later in the supreme court of the State. Having resigned from the revenue service he entered upon the practice of law at Okolona, Miss., in copartnership with F. S. Pate, Esq., a native of the State and formerly district attorney for the county. In the en- suing year Mr. Stone held the appointment of United States commissioner for the northern district of Mississippi. In 1873 he was appointed chancellor of the seventeenth chancery district, composed of the counties of Scott, Simp- son, Smith and Covington, and six months later was unanimously confirmed by the senate, including Democratie senators representing the district. Of his decisions only one was reversed, although several were mooted in the news- papers and published at length, especially one relating to Confederate money as a contract consideration, and another relating to the statute of limitations as affected by the Civil war. In 1876 he resigned and removed to Bradford, Penn. During his residence in Mississippi Mr. Stone was deeply interested in the progress of reconstruction, and his active espousal of the policy of the Republican party rendered him obnoxious to the lawless element of the oppo- sition. He was repeatedly assaulted, shot at, hung in effigy and made the recipient of death notices. He went to the State while it was a department of the fourth military district, and accepted an appointment under Gen. Ames as one of the registrars of the ensuing election in Chickasaw county. He was subsequently made chairman of the Republican county committee, and repeatedly sent as a delegate to political conventions. He not only took part in public speaking during several campaigns, and often before riotous assem- blies with one hand resting upon his revolver, but also contributed editorial articles to the Mississippi Pilot, the State Republican organ published at the capital, and temporarily edited the Prairie News. published at Okolona. The constitutionality of a State revenue act, separating the offices of sheriff and tax collector, having been denied in a legal opinion published editorially by ex-Representative Watson, of the Confederate congress, and accepted with much demonstration by the Democratic press of the State, Mr. Stone con- troverted the position in a series of articles which, published over an initial signature, were commonly attributed to ex-Attorney Gen. Morris.

While a resident of Mississippi Mr. Stone became acquainted with Marga- ret Sarah Baldwin, a native of Ashfield, Mass., but then a resident of Mon- trose, Susquehanna Co., Penn., to whom he was married at the home of her uncle, P. H. Porter, in Newark, N. J., April 18, 1872, her father, Rev. Burr Baldwin, officiating, assisted by Rev. Jonathan Stearns, D. D., a brother-in- law of Sargent S. Prentiss, of Mississippi, the favorite orator and famous Southern statesman.

Life in the South, with its vigils and dangers, had not been without attrac- tion hitherto. But a bullet-hole over the mantel, a shattered shutter, the head-gear of a Ku-Klux, and an array of deadly weapons, were rather grim relics to constitute the bric-a-brac of a honeymoon. Right bravely the gentle wife bore the sight of an armed mob, the occasional news of neighborhood assassination, the duty of midnight entertainment to a vigilance committee. And Mr. Stone, with the quiet sympathy of the best people of the community, still sought among his neighbors to revive the broken confidence of the people in our national form of government, to encourage faith in its administration, and to commend the Republican policy as a just basis of mutual trust between the races. But public opinion seemed rigid, the future of the South locked up in sullen hatred, and the time far off when it could become a congenial and in-

spiring home for people of Northern birth. Upon his removal to Bradford Mr. Stone lost no degree of interest in the cause of his political party. Upon the organization of a Republican club he became its president, and was twice re- elected. In 1878 he was made chairman of the county committee, and subse- quently a member of the State committee. In 1882 he received a unanimous Republican nomination for mayor of Bradford, and was barely defeated by the intervention of an independent candidate. He has taken part in every campaign, speaking in his own county and occasionally in other neighboring counties. The Evening Star, a daily Republican newspaper published at Bradford, was founded with his aid in 1879, and soon after he became its sole proprietor and publisher. Having conducted it at an average loss for several years, he at length disposed of it. The paper passed through subsequent stages of ownership until finally it reached the Star Publishing Company, its present corporate proprietor, of which Mr. Stone is a director. While engaged in its publication he conducted its editorial department, and in periods of es- pecial public interest wrote its leading articles. Thus, during the controversy between Conkling and Garfield, he sustained the position of the New York senators throughout, as in accord with the ideas of Franklin and Madison, and justified by custom and by the clearest views of public policy. Certain of these articles, having fallen under the eye of Mr. Conkling, received his graceful ac- knowledgment. In the New York campaign which followed the senatorial election the Star took earnest ground against the re-election of State Senator Sessions from the counties of Chautauqua and Cattarangus, and its editorials were reprinted and posted on the dead walls and fences throughout the dis- trict. Sessions was defeated. The Star resisted the Independent movement in Pennsylvania under Wolfe and Stewart, against strong local influence and loss of patronage. It made successful opposition to the adherents of the Greenback theory when, under the remarkable leadership of David Kirk, they sought for him a seat in congress. Notwithstanding a threatened suit for libel in a season of great excitement among oil producers, it opposed the right of " mystery " owners to play with the fortunes of small producers by the publi- cation or tacit sanction of false reports. In respect to municipal affairs, its criticism of the administration of Treasurer Critchlow for disbursing indis. criminately from distinct funds resulted in his defeat as a candidate for re- election. Its influence was exerted against the adoption of the Holly system of water-works, and in favor of the present gravity system, which it supported with diagrams and engineers' reports prepared under its direction. In 1879 Mr. Stone made an elaborate but ineffectual argument before the common coun cil in favor of the seating of F. S. Johnson, a contestant, and in 1885 success- fully conducted an investigation and trial before the same body, which resulted in unseating one of its members. Soon after his arrival in Bradford Mr. Stone became interested in the petroleum business, and served for a number of years as chairman of a limited co-partnership, which operated successfully as a pioneer company of Knapp's creek. He has since been continnonsly engaged in oil operations, with varying success, and his interests have extended to the coun- ties of Washington and Allegheny, in Pennsylvania, and into the fields of Ohio, West Virginia and New York. In 1879, at a mass meeting of oil producers held at Bradford, he was chosen as a member of a committee to oppose the taxation of oil before a legislative revenue commission, and at the request of the committee prepared an argument which was submitted to the commission and supplied to members of the legislature. The measure was not afterward pressed. He subsequently drafted a bill, which in modified form became a law, requiring abandoned oil wells to be plugged. Mr. Stone is a corporator

400

HISTORY OF MCKEAN COUNTY.

and officer in several natural gas companies, and in like manner engaged in certain railroad enterprises. In 1884 he went to Leadville, Colo., as the presi- dent of the Muncie Mining Company, and the year previous visited the Pacific coast. At home Mr. Stone has exhibited marked interest in the growth and prosperity of Bradford. He drafted the charter and by-laws of the board of trade, aided conspicuously in its organization, and, as its vice-president and member of the board of directors, helped to shape its policy of encouragement to manufacturers, and conducted the negotiations which resulted in the location and erection at Bradford of the repair shops of the Rochester & Pittsburgh Railroad Company. He was a member and afterward treasurer of the Brad- ford Hotel Company, limited. which erected the St. James Hotel; a corporator and afterward president of the Bradford Manufacturing Company, which erected the furniture factory now occupied by B. F. Hazelton, and a corporator and treasurer of the Bradford Glass Works, which erected the works now con- ducted by the Bradford Glass Company, limited. He was a corporator and director of the Bradford, Smethport & DeGolier Railroad Company, which was merged in the Bradford, Bordell & Kinzua Railroad Company, under an agree- ment that the line should be extended to Smethport; and a corporator and trustee of the Bradford Hospital, whose charter and by-laws he prepared. At the organization, in 1880, of the State Hospital for the Insane for the northwestern district, comprising the counties of Cameron, Clarion, Crawford, Elk, Erie, Forest, McKean, Mercer, Venango and Warren, he was appointed a member of the board of trustees, and in 1888 he was elected president of the board. Upon various public occasions he has not infrequently been called upon to pre- side or to respond. He has made reported remarks at a celebration of the Irish Land League; at the dedication of the Bradford City Hospital; at a stated meeting of the Temperance Rescue Corps; at the dedication of the MeKean county court house, on the event of the death of Garfield, and upon numerous other occasions, but these are sufficient to show the breadth of his sympathies and public spirit. His published addresses include one delivered at the dedi- cation of Armory Hall; a speech under the title "The Republican Idea," de- livered at Rixford, in 1884; Memorial Day addresses delivered at Eldred, at Olean, N. Y., and at Bradford; an address of welcome to the survivors of the "Bucktail Regiment," and a lecture on political economy before the Brad- ford Business College. Comprehending the future growth of Bradford, and regarding it as his permanent home, he purchased at an early date desirable sites for his dwelling and office. The former is an attractive cottage in the foot- hills, and the latter a brick building of pleasing architectural design, which he christened " Pompelon Hall," adopting the name of a noted Spanish city because it was borne by the tract or warrant, as originally granted, on which the city of Bradford is situated. A society known as the Pompelon Club, comprising a membership of about 200, meets in this building weekly, and has attained celebrity in this section for its discussions of important public topics. Upon his arrival in Bradford Mr. Stone at once resumed the practice of his profession, and at length formed a partnership with A. Leo Weil, Esq., with whom he subsequently opened a branch office in Pittsburgh, when that city had become an oil metropolis, attracting their clientage, and there Mr. Weil is now separately engaged in practice. Mr. Stone discovering that his professional business at Bradford demanded more exclusive attention than he could give to it without hazarding other business, which he had undertaken. the partnership with Mr. Weil was succeeded by the association of Hon. Wal- lace W. Brown (lately representing the district in congress) and George A. Sturgeon, Esq. (since elected district attorney for the county), under the firm
