[13526] "The Jeffersonian-Democrat [Brookville, Pennsylvania], 29 November 1945," pp. 1-2: "Harry Stanton Geist, of Pansy, died Tuesday, November 27, 1945, around 10:00 a. m., in the summer kitchen on his farm. He ended his life by shooting himself in the stomach with a shotgun. He was seventy-two years, nine months and fourteen days old at the time of his death. Despondent over ill health he had left the house about 8:00 a. m. Tuesday morning, warning his daughter to stay away from the summer kitchen. She kept a constant watch on the building and at 10:30 became alarmed, and investigated. Lifelong resident of Jefferson county he was born at Worthville February 13, 1873, a son of Eli and Kathryn (Reed) Geist. About fifty years ago he was united in marriage to Carrie Brosius, and to this union ten children were born, two of whom preceded their father in death. Mrs. Geist preceded her husband in death several years ago. Harry Geist lived his early life at the hotel in Worthville, and at one time he and three other men loaded 5,000 acres of logs for Kip Kaiser and Clark lumber mill. The lumber tracts were located between Coolspring and Anita. On moving to Beaver township he bought the farm formerly owned by Robert Neel and he had resided there ever since. Surviving are the following children: Edith Irwin, of Brookville; Ethel Butler, of Pansy; Grace Yount, and Vera Reitz, of Mayport R. D.; Clyde, of Buffalo, N. Y.; William, of Worthville; Homer, of Rossiter, and Everett, of Curllsville. One sister, Ellen Geist, of Worthville, also survives."

Ancestry.com offers: "Joy Name Meaning - English: nickname for a person of a cheerful disposition, from Middle English, Old French joie, joye. In some cases it may derive from a personal name (normally borne by women) of this origin, which was in sporadic use during the Middle Ages." The unverified file LDK9-S6T in familysearch.org offers: "Benjamin Joy (1741-1830) was one of the first permanent white settlers of Ellsworth, Maine. He came from New Hampshire with the first party of white settlers who came to Ellsworth. They came in a vessel, sailed into Union River Bay, up Union River, both banks of which were then covered with an old growth of pine, spruce and maple, and landed near where the foundry and machine shop of B.B. Walker and Co now stands, and cooked the first meal that ever was eaten by permanent inhabitants of Ellsworth, Maine. Benjamin was also a ship builder and business man. In fact, the first ship built in Ellsowrth in 1788 was named 'Susan and Abigail' for the eldest daughters of Benjamin Joy and Jonathan Millikien. (taken from the 'Odyssey In A Downeast Outhouse' written by Bruce Carter and published in 1998 by Downeast Graphics, Ellsworth, Maine."
