From newspaper clipping in the Abraham Stabler family Bible:
The hand of death has again visited Pine Run school, and removed there from George Miller Kress, son of B. T. Kress, of Anthony township. George was just growing to manhood, and had a pleasant face and cheerful word for all he met. In his death the teacher loses an obedient pupil, the scholars a cheerful companion, and the parents a kind and loving son. The deceased left school monday afternoon and kept continually growing worse until the following Wednesday evening, when the death angel gave the summons. Death was due to an abscess forming in the bowels. The funeral took place from the residence Saturday morning, with services at the Salladasburg M. E. church, conducted by Rev. J. B. Fox, of Lycoming circuit. Internment at Salladasburg cemetery. The deceased was 16 years, 10 months and 14 days of age.
