Residents Get Respite From Cold It might as well be spring aft- er the mild weekend filled with sunshine and temperatures which hit as high as 45. Today is expected to be about the same with, believe it or not, the chance of a thunderstorm. But tonight'Will be more season- al with temperatures in the low 30's and a few snow flurries in the sky. Even so it was a weekend which brought area residents a welcome respite from cold and snow. But the weary plowman was not so lucky.

It resulted in the paradoxical picture of snowplows in action all day Saturday under a bright warm sunshine.

Additional stores were opened in Mayville, Fre- donia, Olean, Lockport, Endi- cott, Warren, Pa., and Conneaut, Ohio. Several years ago the partner- ship was changed when Clyde L. Carnahan severed his con- nections with several of these stores and became sole owner of the store in Jamestown and co-owner of the stores in Olean and Lockport. About three years ago Mr. Carnahan sold his interests in the Olean store, but had contin- ued in partnership with Harold E. Swanson, formerly of James- town, in the Lockport store un- der the name of Carnahan-Swan- son Co., of Lockport. Mr. Shearer who had contin- ued his business in Westfield un- der the name of Carnahan- Shearer Co., and in Fredonia and Mayville under Shearer Co., died at Bradenton, Fla., in 1961. First Store In 1024 The first store, occupied by the Carnahan-Shearer Co., in Jamestown back in 1924 was at 24 N. Main St., just north of the Erie Railroad tracks. A move was made to 30-32 N. Main St., occupied for a few years, when they were old acquaintances. His busy leadership in his growing concern did not keep him from many areas of civic endeavor in which he took ac- tive part even after his health began to fail because of several heart attacks. His advice was highly regard- ed as he contributed richly to movements he felt would make a better community. His wise counsel, his gifted leadership and his deep concern for wel- fare of others will be greatly missed in the community he loved dearly and served well. Funeral Wednesday Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. John L. Schmidt will officiate. Burial will be in Sunset Hill Cem- etery. The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 and from 7 to 9 p.m., Tuesday at the residence, 210 Van Buren St. The family suggests that" those who wish may make their memorials to the W.C.A.

Residents Get Respite From Cold

It might as well be spring aft­er the mild weekend filled with sunshine and temperatures which hit as high as 45.

Today is expected to be about the same with, believe it or not, the chance of a thunderstorm. But tonight'Will be more season­al with temperatures in the low 30's and a few snow flurries in the sky.

Even so it was a weekend which brought area residents a welcome respite from cold and snow.

But the weary plowman was not so lucky. Brisk winds from 15 to 20 miles an hour caused drifting in the hills of Chautau­qua County.

It resulted in the paradoxical picture of snowplows in action all day Saturday under a bright warm sunshine. Authorities <aid conditions were expecially diffi

er became associated with the brothers in a Westfield store un­der the name of Carnahan-Shearer Co. Additional stores were opened in Mayville, Fre­donia, Olean, Lockport, Endi-cott, Warren, Pa., and Conneaut, Ohio.

Several years ago the partner­ship was changed when Clyde L. Carnahan severed his con­nections with several of these stores and became sole owner of the store in Jamestown and co-owner of the stores in Olean and Lockport.

About three years ago Mr. Carnahan sold his interests in the Olean store, but had contin­ued in partnership with Harold E. Swanson, formerly of James­town, in the Lockport store un­der the name of Carnahan-Swan-son Co., of Lockport.

Mr. Shearer who had contin­ued his business in Westfield un­der the name of Carnahan-Shearer Co., and in Fredonia and Mayville under Shearer Co., died at Bradenton, Fla., in 1961.

First Store In 1024 The first store, occupied by

the Carnahan-Shearer Co., in Jamestown back in 1924 was at 24 N. Main St., just north of the Erie Railroad tracks. A move was made to 30-32 N. Main St., occupied for a few years, when

they were old acquaintances. His busy leadership in his

growing concern did not keep him from many areas of civic endeavor in which he took ac­tive part even after his health began to fail because of several heart attacks.

His advice was highly regard­ed as he contributed richly to movements he felt would make a better community. His wise counsel, his gifted leadership and his deep concern for wel­fare of others will be greatly missed in the community he loved dearly and served well.

Funeral Wednesday Funeral services will be held

at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the First Presbyterian Church. The Rev. John L. Schmidt will officiate. Burial will be in Sunset Hill Cem­etery. The family will receive friends from 3 to 5 and from 7 to 9 p.m., Tuesday at the residence, 210 Van Buren St.

The family suggests that" those who wish may make their memorials to the W.C.A. Hospi­tal, Boy Scouts, Chautauqua Foundation, Chautauqua Pres­byterian Association, the James­town Community College, or to their favorite charities.
