Peter Layman
April 7, 2003
Peter Williams Layman, age 98, of Streetsboro, OH, formerly of Hollenback, PA, passed away on Monday, April 7, 2003 at the Anna Maria of Aurora Nursing Home in Aurora, OH where he had resided since January 2001.
Born Sept. 22, 1904 in Terry Township, Bradford County, PA, Peter was the third child of Frederick and Eva Williams Layman. After several years of childhood illnesses, he completed eighth grade at the one-room Vial Hill School in 1920. He drove a Model-T Ford truck, hauling the family dairy’s milk to the Wyalusing Creamery on his way to Wyalusing High School from which he graduated in the 17-member class of 1924.
The following school year, he returned to the Vial Hill School and taught all eight grades. In the fall of 1925, he took additional math courses at Towanda High School to meet entrance requirements for the architecture program in Penn State’s College of Engineering. Prior to starting his freshman year, he worked as a clerk and helper at the Wyalusing Hotel during the winter and summer of 1926. He described it as a "busy time" during which the sections of U.S. Route 6 from Wysox to Wyalusing, and on to Laceyville were first paved with concrete.
While at Penn State, Peter earned his room and board by working in fraternity dining halls. He was on the art staff of the La Vie yearbook, and was elected to Scarab, a national architecture honorary society and Pi Gamma Alpha, a fine arts honorary society. He graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Design in 1930 in the midst of the Great Depression.
With virtually no employment available in the field of architecture, he worked as a draftsman for Whipple Brothers of Laceyville in the summer of 1930, prior to taking a teaching position with the private Lutheran Tressler Orphan’s School in Loysville, PA, where he continued for five years.
Peter met Kathryn Gamble at her sister, Ethlyn’s wedding in 1926, and they were married five years to the day on June 25, 1931. Both Peter and Kathryn taught at the Perry County School until moving to Boston, MA in 1935, where Peter studied and taught in the Department of Fine Arts at Harvard University. He was awarded the Edward R. Bacon Fellowship for two years of independent travel and study of art in Europe.
He sailed to Cherbourg, France on the H.M.S. Queen Mary in August of 1939. As he arrived in Paris, Hitler invaded Poland and World War II began. His planned travel to Istanbul, Turkey, to assist another Harvard Bacon Fellow with obtaining plaster copies of mosaics from Aya Sophia, ended abruptly when all passengers were ordered off the train in Lyon, France. Due to the political uncertainties and imminent danger, he had to return to the United States. After enduring five weeks of severe communication problems and restrictive travel conditions, he was approved for return passage on "cot #7" in the Playroom of the S.S. Manhattan.
Upon his arrival in New York City on October 8, 1939, he learned all his letters to Kathryn had arrived only a day earlier; they had been delayed for censoring by the French government. He continued studying at Harvard and was offered a teaching position for the summer of 1941, only to have it cancelled when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.
Early in 1942, Peter and Kathryn returned to the Wyalusing area, bought a farm in Hollenback, where their son, Scott was born. While working available hourly jobs (his summer haying job paid a total of $22) he also raised chickens, pigs and calves while developing a small dairy herd. By 1948, realizing the farm was not large enough scale to continue, he sold the dairy herd and returned to Harvard where he completed his Master’s Degree in 1949.
Peter was next employed as an instructor with the Bradford County teachers of the G.I. "On-Farm" program which assisted veterans in becoming self-sufficient farmers. In 1950, he became Head Instructor with full responsibility for the program for Bradford and Sullivan Counties. In 1953, he was offered a position teaching art in the Sayre Area Schools.
To achieve public school teaching certification, he attended three summer school sessions at Penn State and took additional short-courses. In 1958, he took a similar position with the Montrose School System and continued there until his retirement in 1967. In both Sayre and Montrose, his responsibilities included work with school yearbook staffs, poster contests, preparation of stage scenery, etc. His greatest satisfactions came from the development of his "elective art" students, some of whom continued their study toward careers in art.
He was a member of local, state and national professional educational and art associations, and continually enriched his interests and skills in art media through workshops, short courses and private study. Stone and wood sculpture and ceramics were studied during his early years of retirement.
During the late 1940’s and into the 1950’s, Peter served 11 years on the Wilmot Township School Board, serving as secretary for the last eight years. He was especially proud of being instrumental in the initial merging of the Wyalusing, New Albany and Laceyville Schools into the Wyalusing Valley School System. They were interesting times, as all of the rural one-room schools were closed within a few years…a very unpopular move in some communities. His strong and abiding interest in the system and its students continued throughout his life.
He was a charter member of the Great Books Discussion group that met monthly in Towanda for several years in the 1950s, and was a regular attendee of the Community Concert Series that brought professional musicians to Towanda. Walks in the woods were always a favorite part of Peter and Kathryn’s life; his ten-day Appalachian Trail hike from the Delaware Water Gap to the Susquehanna River at Duncannon with Scott in 1956 intensified his interest in hiking. The trail shelters so impressed him, that he and Scott built a similar stone structure on their farm. It became a source of great enjoyment and many memorable overnights for friends and family alike.
In retirement, Peter and Kathryn enjoyed hiking in the Endless Mountains, as well as longer hikes on the Appalachian Trail in Maine, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia. During the seventies, they enjoyed having one or more of their three young grandchildren stay with them at the farm…the times were always filled with new and unique adventures which enriched the lives of both generations. No travels were more prized than their many journeys to Ohio for birthdays, concerts, church musical programs, scout award ceremonies, marching band competitions, high school and college graduations and marriages of their three grandchildren.
Together, they witnessed their family’s growth, marriages and evolving careers with pride and great satisfaction. Their words of encouragement and enthusiastic interest in family member’s accomplishments are an enduring inspiration.
During Peter’s recent two years as a resident in Ohio, he has been able to know and interact with his five great-grandchildren… a rare privilege and rich heritage for both Peter and his family.
Throughout more than thirty years of retirement, Peter and Kathryn attended hundreds of school events, often traveling to away contests or community events involving local youth. Special recognition of their dedicated support was given in 1994 at the Wyalusing High School Sports Banquet when the announcement was made "In honor of their countless hours of unselfish dedication to the young men and women of our community, tonight we dedicate this gymnasium in their honor as the Layman Gymnasium." The honor was deeply appreciated and a source of much personal satisfaction. Mention of the school’s successes and student achievements always brightened his day.
Significant recent celebrations have included Kathryn’s 100th birthday on January 7, 2000, Peter and Kathryn’s 69th wedding anniversary on June 25, 2000 and Peter’s 98th birthday, with all family members attending on September 22, 2002.
Surviving are: their son, Scott of Kent, OH; three grandchildren and five great-grandchildren: Dr. Martin W. Layman, his wife Margery and daughters, Amanda and Samantha of Chagrin Falls, OH, Eric B. Layman, his wife, Deborah and daughter, Hannah of South Euclid, OH and Karin L. Conroy, husband, Edward, sons, Nathan and Ryan of Uniontown, OH. Nieces and nephews include Nancy G. W. Baker, Dr. Joseph Kast, Frederick Butts and Frederick Landon. Peter was predeceased by his wife, Kathryn, his parents, Frederick C. and Eva Williams Layman; sisters and their husbands, Ethel and Martin Butts and Grace and George Landon; nieces, Barbara Kast, Eva Griffith and Charlotte Urso, and nephews, Eugene Landon and Robert Butts.
The family requests that memorial donations be made in Peter’s name to the "Kathryn and Peter Layman Scholarship Fund" care of The Peoples State Bank, PO Box 217, Wyalusing, PA 18853.
A memorial service will be held at the P. Dean Homer Funeral Home in Wyalusing at a date to be announced.
