After eight days of terrible suffering, Emma Wyland, the little daughter of David Wyland, of Milesburg, died at the home of her father about 3 o'clock on Saturday afternoon. The death of the little girl was the result of an accident which happened on Friday, July 10. Since that time she had endured awful agony until death at least relieved her from all suffering. Just eight days ago she was in the kitchen at home, and seeing a small tin cup standing on the table, picked it up and drank its contents, which proved to be raw lye. The sufferings of the unfortunate little girl were pitiful to witness and everything possible was done to relieve her. She lingered for a little more than a week when she died.

Harold Oliver Crouse
February 28, 1937 May 24, 2013

Harold Oliver Crouse, of State College, went home to be with his Lord and Savior on Friday, May 24, 2013, after 76 short but full years. Born Feb. 28, 1937, in Hanover, he was the son of the late Herbert H. and Lida M. Waybright Crouse. On Nov. 18, 1956, he married the love of his life, Sandra Ann Sterner, and they have modeled what a loving marriage should be for over 56 years. He was the beloved father of two sons, Michael E. Crouse and his wife, Lisa K., of State College and Paul O. Crouse and his wife, Kelly E., of Shrewsbury; the beloved brother of one surviving sister, Phyllis M. Coppersmith and her husband, Charles, of Hanover; and the beloved grandfather of six grandchildren: Sarah, Rebecca, Bethany, Michael, Daniel, and Megan. He was preceded in death by one brother, Herbert H. Crouse, Jr.; and one sister, Laura A. Mummert and her husband, Stewart. He was a 1955 graduate of Eichelberger High School in Hanover and, after graduation, Harold proudly served in the United States Air Force for four years in the USAF Security Service, including an 18-month separation from his new bride with the 6901st in Zweibrücken, Germany as a Silent Warrior during the Cold War. Harold was a master cabinetmaker and started Crouse Custom Cabinets in Hanover in 1971, producing beautiful kitchens, furniture, antique reproductions, and grandfather clocks for over 25 years, heirlooms that will grace many homes for generations. In 1996, he and Sandy built their retirement home in State College, where they have thoroughly enjoyed observing wildlife at their Mount Nittany abode, particularly their grandchildren next door. He faithfully attended Faith Baptist Church in State College, and previously was a member of Calvary Bible Church in Hanover. He trusted Christ as his Savior in 1972, and was then baptized with his family in 1973. He was passionate about his Lord, his country, and his family. Harold enjoyed many hobbies. He loved the outdoors and enjoyed target shooting, hunting, boating, gardening, and wildlife photography. He tied flies and was an avid fisherman, particularly enjoying fishing with his grandson at their pond. He produced many beautiful wood carvings, most recently working on a life-size bald eagle, and invested his time teaching others the fine art of carving. He was a lifelong model railroader, and even built a train layout that his grandchildren could ride on in his yard. He was a member of the National Rifle Association, Ducks Unlimited, and the Train Collectors Association. Throughout all of his many endeavors, Sandy was his constant partner and best friend, and it is difficult to think of one without the other. Visitation will be on Friday, May 31, 2013, at Koch Funeral Home, 2401 South Atherton Street, State College from 6-8 p.m. His homegoing service will be on Saturday, June 1, 2013, at Faith Baptist Church, 647 Valley Vista Drive, State College at 11 a.m., with the Reverend Drew S.

Rosalie attended Marywood College, where she studied music education, and taught for a year in Boston before marrying and starting her large family. Her home was filled with music during the years when she earned a gratifying reputation as a concert soprano, performing occasionally with the Johnstown Symphony, and giving recitals with the late Edward Harris. She resumed her teaching career in 1969, and spent many happy years pouring good music into the minds of high-spirited young learners in the Greater Johnstown elementary schools.

Rosalie loved books, world travel and liberal politics, and made great scratch soups. She had a wicked sense of humor, tremendous generosity to friends and strangers alike, and a warm radiant smile. She kept her troubles to herself, never complained, and will be sadly missed and cherished forever by the family she has left behind.
