MADORE, Ruth

A most promising young life came to its worldly end this morning with the death of Miss Ruth Madore, the beautiful and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke Madore, Bedford street. Miss Madore fell a victim to typhoid fever about two weeks ago. She succumbed to its ravages this morning at 6' o'clock. Seldom has the death of a young person brought so many expressions of regret as did the announcement today of the death of Miss Madore. Persons who did not know her in person, but knew of her sterling character and worth were to be heard speaking words of sorrow at the death of one so young and whose life gave so much promise. Miss Madore was 21 years old. She was a graduate of Allegany County High School, class of 1907, and later of State Normal School, Frostburg. Last year she taught in Pennsylvania Avenue School under Prof. Geo. J. Tipton, and would have returned there this fall. She was a member of Centre Street M. E. Church and very active in all its work, a member of the choir and superintendent of the Junior Epworth League. She is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke Madore, a sister, Miss Edith Madore, and by two aunts who made their home on Bedford street, Miss Louisa and Miss Zillah Madore. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

MATTINGLY, John

Mt. Savage, Oct. 29.
Mr. John Mattingly, one of the oldest and most respected citizens of this place, passed to his reward yesterday at one o'clock, after a lingering illness of Bright's disease The deceased was aged about sixty-five years and lived all his life in which he died. He was held in the highest esteem by all who knew him because of his uprightness, honesty and integrity. He always took an active part in any movement that would tend toward the uplifting or betterment of his native town. He was an ardent and life long member of St. Patricks Catholic Church and was most active in the cause of his religion, for which it seems that God has shown his appreciation by placing one of his sons in the priesthood and three of his daughters in the convent, who will no doubt by their fervent prayers be instrumental in obtaining for him the reward for which he labored all his life—eternal bliss and happiness in heaven. Besides his widow the following children survive: Rev Edward Mattingly of De Soto. Mo.; Daniel. John and Joseph. Pittsburg. Pa.; Baptiste, of Johnstown, Pa,. and Anthony, of this place; Ellen. Elizabeth and Mamie, who are in the convents belonging to this diocese and Miss Fannie and Jeanne this place. Mr. Mattingly is a descendent of the first settlers of Mount Savage whose names adorn a great many pages of the history of Western .Maryland. The funeral arrangements have not been made, but in all probability it will occur on Wednesday morning the 31st.

MAUS, Matthias

DEATH OF A GOOD MAN
Mr. Matthias Maus Passes Away After a Brief Illness

Mr. Matthias Maus, who was paralyzed Tuesday afternoon last, as has been stated in this paper, died last evening about 8 o'clock at his residence on Baltimore avenue in the 61st year of his age.
At no time since Mr. Maus' sudden illness was there any hope of his recovery, and his death was not unexpected, nevertheless it was a great shock to his friends and the community.  No man in the city of Cumberland attended to his own affairs better than the deceased, and being of a kind and pleasant disposition he made friends among all classes of people, and on all sides was heard expressions of grief when his death was announced.
The deceased was an honest and an industrious man, and in his death the community has lost one of its best citizens.  He was born at Elsée?, near Strauseburg?, Germany, in 1835, and when two and a half years old came to this country with his parents, who located in Cincinnati.  In 1864 he came to this city where he married his second and surviving wife.  He then returned to Cincinnati where he remained until 1872, when he came to Cumberland and engaged in the beer business with Mr. W. A. Buckholtz[sic] until 1882, when he embarked in the mineral water business.
He was a member of the Third Independent Ohio Cavalry and remained with this company three years.
A wife and two daughters, Mrs. Wm. Buckholtz[sic] and Mrs. Harry Radigan, all of this city, survive him.
The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from SS Peter and Paul's church.  Interment in cemetery connected with that church.

Mr. May, employed as an auto mechanic, was a member of the Brethren Church.
