LAFFERTY, Robert Frederick

Robert Frederick Lafferty, 34, of Cresaptown, father of four children, took his own life shortly after noon yesterday when he drank two ounces of Lysol. Lafferty, employed in the filtration department, Celanese plant, was alone when he drank the poison, and was found slumped on the floor by his son, Earl, 12, about 12:30 p. m. The boy had come home from school to get a written excuse so he could go to the dentist. Earl, riding his bicycle, hurried to the home of his grandmother and then of his uncle, both about two miles away. His uncle, Joseph Winters, a Celanese foreman, tried to give the dying man milk as an antidote, but his mouth and throat were too badly burned for the milk to save him. Lafferty died enroute to the Allegany Hospital, where he arrived at 2 p. m. Dr. Linne H. Corson, deputy medical examiner, returned a verdict of suicide, blaming despondency following heavy drinking. Mrs. Edna Lafferty, 31, wife of the dead man, told State Trooper B. O. Mason that she last saw her husband when he came home drunk at 7 a.m. He had drawn his pay Thursday and Friday was his day off. Mrs. Lafferty was in Cumberland at the time of the tragedy. Mrs. Lafferty said her husband had threatened to kill himself many times while drunk. She said he was in good health, but had been drinking heavily for several years. Mr. Lafferty was born at Allegany Grove, the son of Jacob and Clara Finley Lafferty. Surviving, besides his wife and parents, are four children, Earl, Glenn, Donald and Roberta; a brother, Vernon, Allegany Grove; and two sisters, Mrs. Edward J. Naughton, Cumberland, and Miss Emma Jane Lafferty, Allegany Grove.

LAMMERT, George Trimble

A 55-year-old Frostburg man was injured fatally Wednesday night when he was struck by a hit-and-run driver on West Main Street near Lemmert's Alley. The victim, according to Frostburg City Police and Maryland State Police, was George Trimble Lammert, of 72 West Main Street. Police Chief Donald Griffith said police have no clues to the identity of the driver of the car that hit Mr. Lammert as he was crossing West Main Street at 11:10 p.m. in thick fog. Mr. Lammert, who lived alone, died at 2:35 a.m. yesterday in Memorial Hospital.

Sgt. Edward Bevans and Patrolman Guy Griffith arrived with the Hafer- Sowers ambulance a few moments later. Death was attributed to multiple fractures, including a broken pelvis snd multiple other injuries. The investigation showed Mr. Lammert had purchased articles at Sluss' Store and crossed West Main Street, apparently to visit friends, Oren and Everett Lemmert. Upon finding them not at home he walked to Lemmert's Alley where he started on his fatal trip across the street, police said. Born in Frostburg, he was a son of the late G.

The machine was immediately stopped and Smith and others picked up Lancaster, who was bleeding. The plant ambulance was summoned and Lancaster was hurried to the hospital. Dr. G. C. Blake who attended him, said the jugular vein was severed, and that Lancaster had died from loss of blood. Officer J. H. Doud, of the State Police, accompanied Mr. and Mrs. Smith to police headquarters, where they were questioned by County Investigator Terrence J. Boyle.

LAPP, Conrad E.

Retired Machinist Found Dead Near Home ~ Conrad E. Lapp, 66, Believed to Have Shot Himself Late Last Night. Conrad E. Lapp, aged 66, a retired Baltimore and Ohio machinist, of 107 Grand avenue, was found dead early this morning, in an alley about a hundred yards from his home. State's Attorney William A. Huster stated it was a case of suicide. A .32 calibre revolver was found lying beside the man and he had a bullet wound in his heart. Members of the family could give no motive for the suicide, except that Mr. Lapp had been in ill health. It was stated at the home, Major Huster claims, that Lapp had gone to bed about 9 o'clock but between midnight and 12:30 o'clock, had gotten up and gone down stairs, presumably to smoke. Later however, when he did not return, members of the family became alarmed, and his daughter, Everal D. Lapp, went to search for him. Unable to find him in the house, she went to the home of her brother, Royal P. Lapp, 5 Grand avenue, and together they returned to look for their father. They found him lying in the alley. Lapp came to this city from Frostburg, MD., in 1912, and had been employed by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company until two years ago, when he was retired. Besides his widow, Margaret C. Lapp, his son and daughter, he also leaves three brothers, George Lapp and Henry Lapp of this city, John Lapp of Barberton, Ohio, and two sisters, Elizabeth Lapp, Frostburg and Mrs. May Light, Lima, Ohio.

Lashbaugh was pushed against the glass door of McFarland & Doolin's saloon, Union street, during a quarrel between him and a man named Johnson. It is said they had been drinking. A jagged piece of glass shaped like a stiletto, pierced his back, and punctured his lung, and which, in the belief of physicians who attended him, caused his death, twenty-four hours later. The dead man was the son of George [Thomas, see above] Lashbaugh, and was employed as a miner. He was a member of the Knights of Pythias and Junior Order United American Mechanics, and was well known in Lonaconing. He is survived by his parents, three brothers, John, Daniel and Alexander, and two sisters, Mrs. Nicholson Ellbeck(?) and Miss Edna Lashbaugh, at home. He was unmarried. L

LAVIN, Mrs. Dorothy Jane Butler

A 20-year-old Garrett County woman died late yesterday in Sacred Heart Hospital of injuries she sustained in a headon collision on the east slope of Big Savage Mountain yesterday morning. Mrs. Dorothy Jane Lavin of RD 2, Frostburg, which is just across the Allegany-Garrett county line, was admitted to the hospital about 7 a.m. yesterday in critical condition, suffering from shock, internal injuries and a severe left knee injury. In the less than 12 hours between the time of the accident and the time she died, the young woman was the subject of herculean efforts to save her life. With her liver lacerated, Mrs. Lavin was bleeding profusely and needed transfusions of A positive blood. The hospital asked the local Red Cross chapter for help. The Red Cross alerted its donors, many of whom were immediately released by their employers so they could go to the hospital to give blood. Nearly 70 pints of blood were drawn within a few hours. Meanwhile, Maryland and West Virginia State Police worked out a relay system to bring blood containers from the West Virginia University Medical Center at Morgantown. They also brought fibrinogen, a clotting agent, from Johnstown, and whole blood from the bank at Bedford. At the hospital, two surgeons and the laboratory crews worked all day without a break in a vain effort to save the young woman's life. In less than 12 hours she had been given 65 pints of blood, but the hemorrhaging would not stop. She died at 5:55 p.m. Tfc. T. J. Fiorita of the LaVale Barracks, who investigated along with Sgt. Harry Bosley, said the auto operated westbound by Mrs. Lavin was in the eastbound lane when it collided headon with a pickup truck driven by Ned Olin Wilt of RD 2, Grantsville. State Police received the call at 6:25 a.m. Mr. Wilt was admitted for treatment of lacerations of the face. He was listed as being in fair condition last evening. The Lavin car was demolished, State Police said. Mrs. Lavin had worked all night at a restaurant in LaVale and was enroute home when the accident occurred. Mrs. Lavin was born in Meyersdale and was a daughter of Alton and Velma (Baker) Butler of RD 1, Salisbury. She was the wife of Joseph Lavin. Besides her parents and husband, she is survived by a 10- month-old son, Ronnie Joe Lavin; a brother, Kenneth W. Butler, and two sisters, Darlene and Dixie Lee Butler, all of RD 1, Salisbury. She was employed at the Bruner Donut House in LaVale. The body is at the Durst Funeral Home in Frostburg where the family will receive friends today from 7 until 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 until 4 and 7 until 9 p.m.

LAYMAN, Arthur H.

Grim Reaper Visits Same Family Three Times in One Day Arthur H. and Burman Layman, Cousins, Meet Instant Death When Motorcycle Crashes Headon Into Automobile Last Night, Twenty-four Hours After Grandmother Succumbs to Illness Six Girls, Including Several Basketball Players, Who Were Returning In Car From Game In Cumberland, See Men Hurled to Death; Driver of Automobile Collapses - Coroner's Jury to Hold Inquest Frostburg, Md., Jan. 19 - Arthur H. Layman, aged 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Layman, Layman's Farm near Wright's Crossing, and Burman Layman, Jr., aged 28 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Burman Layman, Welsh Hill, cousins, are dead from injuries sustained in a head-on collision of their motorcycle with an auto driven by Samuel Rosenberg, Lonaconing, at 11:30 o'clock last night, on the Borden Shaft Hill road, three miles from here. Arthur Layman, driver of the motorcycle, was crusged about the abdomen and legs, and lived about five minutes after arrival at Miners' Hospital. Burman Layman, riding in the side car, sustained a fracture of the skull, with an opening in his head large enough for a man's fist. He died instantly. Both, however, were brought to the hospital and later removed to the Durst undertaking rooms. Samuel Rosenberg, aged 17 years, son of I. Rosenberg, a Lonaconing merchant, student of Central High school, driver of the automobile, is confined to his bed, suffering a nervous collapse. No one in the auto was injured. The other occupants were Misses Grace Dick, Althea Lewis, Adeline Fazenbaker, Hazel Johnson, Margaret Cutter, and Fannie Burt. All are suffering from shock. Immediate investigation was made by Lieutenant M. A. Peppersack, of the State police, and young Rosenberg has been placed in the custody of his father until the coroner's inquest at Frostburg, when it will be determined who was responsible for the accident. According to the story given out by the Rosenberg residence this morning, Samuel Rosenberg and six girls, several of whom were players on the C. H. S. basketball team, were returning from contest between Central and LaSalle Institute, Cumberland. Near the foot of the Borden Shaft Hill, on the State Road, occupants of the car called the driver's attention to an oncoming motorcycle without lights, on the left side of the road. Repeating the story as told to him by his son, I. Rosenberg in a statement this morning, said that before they had started up-grade, the motorcycle was upon them. In a last effort, Samuel swerved his car to the left of the road, hoping to avoid a crash. The motorcycle drove through the radiator, throwing both men against the car. The Kelly-Springfield test car driven by John Morrissey, going in the direction of Frostburg, was the first on the scene of the accident and with but the lapse of a few moments was on the way to the hospital with the lifeless body of Burman Layman and badly mangled form of Arthur Layman. It is reported that after clearing away the motorcycle wreckage, a half-filled bottle of liquor was found in the pocket of the side-car. Considerable difficulty was experienced in pulling the motorcycle from its tightly wedged mooring in the radiator. James Marshall, taxi driver, towed the Rosenberg car to Lonaconing. Arthur Layman and Burman Layman were employed at the Baltimore and Ohio reclamation plant in Cumberland, the former in the capacity of an acetylene welder, the latter as a craneman. Both rode to and from their homes on the motorcycle daily, usually making the trips between points at a high rate of speed. Reports are that only last evening on their return from work they were traveling at a rate between 60 and 70 miles an hour. Burman Layman is survived by his parents, one brother and three sisters. Arthur Layman is survived by his parents, three brothers and four sisters. The death of the two young men makes the third in the famiily in the past 24 hours, their grandmother, Mrs. Susan Layman, aged 86 years, a resident of the National Road, west of Frostburg, having died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Further investigation of the accident was made this afternoon by County Coroner Joseph B. Finan and State's Attorney William A. Hus ter at Frostburg. Hugh Moses, chauffeur for Hugh Atkinson, of Lonaconing, who was also driving a number of girls home from the basketball game in Cumberland last night, stated that he had passed the motorcycle at a point near the accident and due to the fact that there were no lights, was forced to run upon the street car tracks to avoid a collision.

LAYMAN, Burman

Grim Reaper Visits Same Family Three Times in One Day Arthur H. and Burman Layman, Cousins, Meet Instant Death When Motorcycle Crashes Head-on Into Automobile Last Night, Twenty-four Hours After Grandmother Succumbs to Illness Six Girls, Including Several Basketball Players, Who Were Returning In Car From Game In Cumberland, See Men Hurled to Death; Driver of Automobile Collapses - Coroner's Jury to Hold Inquest Frostburg, Md., Jan. 19 - Arthur H. Layman, aged 22 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Layman, Layman's Farm near Wright's Crossing, and Burman Layman, Jr., aged 28 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Burman Layman, Welsh Hill, cousins, are dead from injuries sustained in a head-on collision of their motorcycle with an auto driven by Samuel Rosenberg, Lonaconing, at 11:30 o'clock last night, on the Borden Shaft Hill road, three miles from here. Arthur Layman, driver of the motorcycle, was crusged about the abdomen and legs, and lived about five minutes after arrival at Miners' Hospital. Burman Layman, riding in the side car, sustained a fracture of the skull, with an opening in his head large enough for a man's fist. He died instantly. Both, however, were brought to the hospital and later removed to the Durst undertaking rooms. Samuel Rosenberg, aged 17 years, son of I. Rosenberg, a Lonaconing merchant, student of Central High school, driver of the automobile, is confined to his bed, suffering a nervous collapse. No one in the auto was injured. The other occupants were Misses Grace Dick, Althea Lewis, Adeline Fazenbaker, Hazel Johnson, Margaret Cutter, and Fannie Burt. All are suffering from shock. Immediate investigation was made by Lieutenant M. A. Peppersack, of the State police, and young Rosenberg has been placed in the custody of his father until the coroner's inquest at Frostburg, when it will be determined who was responsible for the accident. According to the story given out by the Rosenberg residence this morning, Samuel Rosenberg and six girls, several of whom were players on the C. H. S. basketball team, were returning from contest between Central and LaSalle Institute, Cumberland. Near the foot of the Borden Shaft Hill, on the State Road, occupants of the car called the driver's attention to an oncoming motorcycle without lights, on the left side of the road. Repeating the story as told to him by his son, I. Rosenberg in a statement this morning, said that before they had started up-grade, the motorcycle was upon them. In a last effort, Samuel swerved his car to the left of the road, hoping to avoid a crash. The motorcycle drove through the radiator, throwing both men against the car. The Kelly-Springfield test car driven by John Morrissey, going in the direction of Frostburg, was the first on the scene of the accident and with but the lapse of a few moments was on the way to the hospital with the lifeless body of Burman Layman and badly mangled form of Arthur Layman. It is reported that after clearing away the motorcycle wreckage, a half-filled bottle of liquor was found in the pocket of the side-car. Considerable difficulty was experienced in pulling the motorcycle from its tightly wedged mooring in the radiator. James Marshall, taxi driver, towed the Rosenberg car to Lonaconing. Arthur Layman and Burman Layman were employed at the Baltimore and Ohio reclamation plant in Cumberland, the former in the capacity of an acetylene welder, the latter as a craneman. Both rode to and from their homes on the motorcycle daily, usually making the trips between points at a high rate of speed. Reports are that only last evening on their return from work they were traveling at a rate between 60 and 70 miles an hour. Burman Layman is survived by his parents, one brother and three sisters. Arthur Layman is survived by his parents, three brothers and four sisters. The death of the two young men makes the third in the family in the past 24 hours, their grandmother, Mrs. Susan Layman, aged 86 years, a resident of the National Road, west of Frostburg, having died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. Further investigation of the accident was made this afternoon by County Coroner Joseph B. Finan and State's Attorney William A. Hus ter at Frostburg. Hugh Moses, chauffeur for Hugh Atkinson, of Lonaconing, who was also driving a number of girls home from the basketball game in Cumberland last night, stated that he had passed the motorcycle at a point near the accident and due to the fact that there were no lights, was forced to run upon the street car tracks to avoid a collision.

LAYMAN, Clarence

CAUGHT UNDER FALL OF COAL. ~ Mr. Clarence Layman the Victim of a Mine Accident. Frostburg, Md., Dec. 10 - Mr. Clarence Layman, aged about 48 years, met with a fatal accident Friday morning while at work in the mines. He, with Mr. Lawrence R. Evans, were employed by Mr. Solomon Brode in mining fire coal in a small mine which is operated by Mr. Brode in the hollow just west of town. About 11:30 yesterday morning both men were working at the breast coal when a cross-bar which had been put up to keep the roof in place, gave way and tons of coal and rock fell completely burying Mr. Layman and catching Mr. Evans, the latter being fortunate in being able to release himself, although badly bruised about the body. Mr. Evans at once went for help and the work of rescuing the buried man commenced with Mr. Brode directing the work. At one time the body was partly uncovered when another fall occurred, completely burying the body again. With renewed vigor the men increased their efforts, timber was put up and the pplace[sic] made secure and again the work of rescue went on. All day these heroic men worked until about 4:30 in the evening when the lifeless body of the unfortunate man was found and brough out of the mines and taken to the rooms of the Frostburg Undertaking Company and prepared for burial. When the first fall occurred and Mr. Evans had succeeded in releasing himself he called to Mr. Layman who answered, saying he was caught under the coal near a car which they had been loading. Shortly after this the seco nd fall occurred which completely covered the man who from all appearances, must have smothered to death as no bones were broken and very few bruises were found upon his body. The deceased is survived by his father, Mr. Norman Layman, and three brothers and two sisters, Messrs, Olin, Walter and Aza and Misses Sophia and Dessie.

LAYMAN, Margaret Hendley & husband Paul Layman

An early morning fire in Frostburg today claimed the lives of a retired couple, who died while apparently trying to make their escape from the flaming two-floor apartment building. Paul Layman, 57, and his wife, Margaret Layman, 65, a retired schoolteacher, died of smoke inhalation at about 2 a. m. after intense smoke filled their rear apartment at the corner of Charles and Broadway Streets in Frostburg. According to Frostburg Fire Department Chief John C. Durst, the body of Mrs. Layman was found only a few feet from the entrance to the apartment with a flashlight lying nearby. He conjectured that Mrs. Layman was trying to reach the door when she was either overcome by smoke or felled by debris falling from the ceiling. Mr. Layman was found in an upstairs bedroom, also overcome by smoke, on the floor after having tried to crawl out of the room. The couple occupied the rear apartment of a building owned by Mrs. Elvira H. Nelson. The building had formerly been a grocery store operated by Mrs. Nelson and her late husband, Andy Nelson. According to Chief Durst, Mrs. Nelson, who occupied a small apartment in the front of the building, had been awakened by the smell of smoke at about 1:30 a.m., and called her daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Hubert Crowe, at their home in Finzel. Upon the Crowes' arrival at 2 a.m., the rear of the house was in flames, Chief Durst said. Mr. Crowe ran to a neighbor's house to sound the alarm. Firemen had the blaze under control within ten minutes and had been working inside several minutes before Mrs. Layman's body was found under a pile of debris only a few feet from the entrance. Chief Durst said that the fire grew so intense in the short time that the doors were burned off and that the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor of the Layman apartment were gutted. Cause of the blaze, the second in two nights in the western part of the county, according to Deputy State Fire Marshal Robert Shimer, of Westernport, was bad wiring in the kitchen and living room areas. Frostburg City Police said that two officers, George Buckalew and Guy Griffith, had been patrolling the area at about 2 a.m. and smelled smoke in the vicinity, but were unable to locate the blaze. Mrs. Layman was born in Hoffman, daughter of the late John William and Anna (Metzner) Hendley. She had ended a teaching career on July 1, 1970, having taught 13 years at Cresaptown Junior High School and the last 26 years of her career at Beall Elementary. She was past matron of Chapter 15, Order of the Eastern Star and a member of the national, state and county Retired Teachers Association. Besides her sister, Mrs. Nelson, she is also survived by two other sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Geis, Baltimore, and Mrs. Pearl Richardson, Rockville. Mr. Layman was born at Wright's Crossing, son of the late Eugene and Nettie (Morgan) Layman. He was a member of Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Frostburg. Both he and Mrs. Layman were members of the Salem United Church of Christ. Surviving are three brothers, Joseph Layman, Shaft; and Harry and Robert Layman, both of Wright's Cr ossing; five sisters, Mrs. Loretta Cullen, Washington; Miss Mary Layman, Cumberland; Mrs. Doris Stonebraker, Frostburg; a twin sister, Mrs. Pauline Wagniere, Westport, Conn., and Mrs. Nancy Gordon, Frostburg. The bodies are in the Hafer-Sowers Funeral Home where friends will be received today from 7 to 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The Cumberland Evening Times, January 8, 1974

LAYMAN, Paul & wife Margaret Hendley Layman

An early morning fire in Frostburg today claimed the lives of a retired couple, who died while apparently trying to make their escape from the flaming two-floor apartment building. Paul Layman, 57, and his wife, Margaret Layman, 65, a retired schoolteacher, died of smoke inhalation at about 2 a. m. after intense smoke filled their rear apartment at the corner of Charles and Broadway Streets in Frostburg. According to Frostburg Fire Department Chief John C. Durst, the body of Mrs. Layman was found only a few feet from the entrance to the apartment with a flashlight lying nearby. He conjectured that Mrs. Layman was trying to reach the door when she was either overcome by smoke or felled by debris falling from the ceiling. Mr. Layman was found in an upstairs bedroom, also overcome by smoke, on the floor after having tried to crawl out of the room. The couple occupied the rear apartment of a building owned by Mrs. Elvira H. Nelson. The building had formerly been a grocery store operated by Mrs. Nelson and her late husband, Andy Nelson. According to Chief Durst, Mrs. Nelson, who occupied a small apartment in the front of the building, had been awakened by the smell of smoke at about 1:30 a.m., and called her daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Hubert Crowe, at their home in Finzel. Upon the Crowes' arrival at 2 a.m., the rear of the house was in flames, Chief Durst said. Mr. Crowe ran to a neighbor's house to sound the alarm. Firemen had the blaze under control within ten minutes and had been working inside several minutes before Mrs. Layman's body was found under a pile of debris only a few feet from the entrance. Chief Durst said that the fire grew .so intense in the short time that the doors were burned off and that the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor of the Layman apartment were gutted. Cause of the blaze, the second in two nights in the western part of the county, according to Deputy State Fire Marshal Robert Shimer, of Westernport, was bad wiring in the kitchen and living room areas. Frostburg City Police said that two officers, George Buckalew and Guy Griffith, had been patrolling the area at about 2 a.m. and smelled smoke in the vicinity, but were unable to locate the blaze. Mrs. Layman was born in Hoffman, daughter of the late John William and Anna (Metzner) Hendley. She had ended a teaching career on July 1, 1970, having taught 13 years at Cresaptown Junior High School and the last 26 years of her career at Beall Elementary. She was past matron of Chapter 15, Order of the Eastern Star and a member of the national, state and county Retired Teachers Association. Besides her sister, Mrs. Nelson, she is also survived by two other sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Geis, Baltimore, and Mrs. Pearl Richardson, Rockville. Mr. Layman was born at Wright's Crossing, son of the late Eugene and Nettie (Morgan) Layman. He was a member of Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Frostburg. Both he and Mrs. Layman were members of the Salem United Church of Christ. Surviving are three brothers, Joseph Layman, Shaft; and Harry and Robert Layman, both of Wright's Cr ossing; five sisters, Mrs. Loretta Cullen, Washington; Miss Mary Layman, Cumberland; Mrs. Doris Stonebraker, Frostburg; a twin sister, Mrs. Pauline Wagniere, Westport, Conn., and Mrs. Nancy Gordon, Frostburg. The bodies are in the Hafer-Sowers Funeral Home where friends will be received today from 7 to 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The Cumberland Evening Times, January 8, 1974

LAYMAN, Ralph Mason

FROSTBURG — Ralph Mason Layman, 90, a long time resident of Frostburg, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, at the Egle Nursing and Rehab Center in Lonaconing. He had been a resident of the home since May of 2007. Ralph was born at the Layman Farm on Long Stretch in Garrett County on Jan. 21, 1920. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Mary Margaret (Shuey); sons Douglas Allen, and Kenneth Edward and wife Lyn; 5 grandchildren, Mark, Stephen and wife Erynn, Rebecca and husband John (J.D.) Norman, Katherine Layman, and Scott Layman and one great-grandson, Hunter Douglas. Ralph was the 5th child of Winfield Scott Layman and Ora (Durst) Layman, who owned and operated the farm where Ralph was born. All of Ralph's siblings preceded him in death. They are William Carl, Odell Price, Marshal Thomas, and Lillian Scott. The Ralph Layman Family has a long history in Western Maryland. The earliest documented ancestor was George Layman who settled in Westernport in the late 1700’s. The family later moved to what is now Garrett County. Ralph's great-grandfather, George Lewis[sic, Louis] Layman was a proprietor of the Old Tomlinson Stone Farm and Inn in Little Meadows; and later was elected Sheriff of Allegany County/Garrett County and served from 1869-1871 (prior to Garrett County and Allegany County separating). After retiring as Sheriff, George cleared and operated the farm below the Zion Methodist Church. He also operated a saw mill on the farm. This farm became known as the Half-Way House during the early years of the National Pike, now Route 40. Wagoneers rested here, watered, feed and changed horses enroute to points West. Even during the early 1900’s, the home was often a refuge when severe weather hindered travel. Ralph and Mary were married in Cumberland, on June 25, 1943. They did not own a car, so they took the bus to Winchester, Va., for their honeymoon. They originally met at the Colonial Inn on Long Stretch (now the Hen House). Mary was a waitress at the restaurant; the Layman farm was located about 1 mile west of the inn, and Ralph and Mary began a romance in early 1940 that continued until Ralph's passing. Ralph and Mary were long time members of the United Methodist Church in Frostburg. They both were very active until declining health prevented them from continuing. Ralph was honored for his 40 years of service with a concrete bench that is located on Church property just west of the church. Ralph retired from Allegany Ballistics Laboratory in 1982. His employment began there in 1952. Prior to that he was employed by Prichards Feed and Grain, on Main Street in Frostburg. Ralph went to school initially in a one room school house on Long Stretch, and finished high school in Grantsville. He later attended Catherman's Business School in Cumberland. Ralph was loved by all who knew him. He will be missed. Ralph was cremated in accordance to his wishes. A memorial service will be conducted Friday, Sept. 17, 2010, at noon, in the Durst Funeral Home, P.A., 57 Frost Ave., Frostburg, with the Rev. Rebecca Vardiman officiating. Friends will be received one hour prior to services at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Frostburg Memorial Church or Egle Nursing Home.

LAYTON, Joseph

GRANT COUNTY - On Friday, September 6th, Joseph Layton, the subject of our story seemed in his usual health, walking around all day and in the evening chopped some stove wood, something he had not done for several months, after which he ate a hearty supper, but shortly after eating while preparing to retire became very sick and about one half hour died. He was educated in the school of “hard knocks” being born May 26, 1824, when the chances for a book education were very meager and all of that kind of education that he was able to secure was just to read and write a little. His father was a native of eastern Virginia and his mother, whose maiden name was Mary Jenkins, was a product of western Virginia. He made his home with his daughter, Mrs George R Borror, for a number of years. His second wife died about two years ago and now there are two vacant chairs. His remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife. Rev Stearn performed the last sad rights.

Three Dead After Plane Crash Here Three men are dead as the result of the first airplane crash in the immediate vicinity of Cumberland, which occurred late yesterday afternoon when the Challenger biplane operated by Wm. M. Skelly, 23, plunged to the ground while taking off from the Maryland airport on the McMullen Highway. It was Skelly's birthday. The dead are: William M. Skelly, Cresaptown, owner and pilot of the plane, who died at 7:35 p. m. in Allegany Hospital. Glendon L. Hoff, 24, of 722 Hill Top drive, who died in the hospital at 10:10 p. m. Frederick G. Lease, 33, of 214 Fulton street, who was dead when pulled from the machine. According to witnesses, the plane had just taken off and had traveled but about 500 yards when Skelly put the ship into a vertical bank, from which it went into a side slip and then into a nose dive. The plane crashed into a field on the Barton farm and burst into flames. The pilot and Hoff were thrown clear, but Lease was caught in the wreckage. Skelly and Hoff ran from the machine, their clothes blazing. Hoff collapsed after he had run into a barbed wire fence. Skelly ran toward the Baltimore and Ohio railroad track but collapsed in a gully. Both had attempted to beat out their flaming clothing. George Barton witnessed the crash and ran to the scene. Aided by his brother, Ferman Barton, N. S. Yoder of Pinto and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Summerfield, he placed the pilot and Hoff in his car and took them to Allegany Hospital. Both were so badly burned that their deaths were expected momentarily. Their clothing was burned from their bodies and Skelly's face was badly battered. Dr. Joseph P. Franklin, county and deputy state health officer, and Officer S. E. Phillips of the Maryland State Police arrived a few minutes after the crash. Dr. Franklin discovered that Lease was still in the burning plane. He took a tire cover - from his car and wrapping it about Lease, pulled him from the ship. Lease was burned to a crisp and dead. At the hospital Skelly was attended by Dr. James T. Johnson, Sr., and James T. Johnson, Jr. Hoff was attended by Dr. G. C. Blake. Hoff knew that he was dying and said goodbye to friends who called at the hospital. He was delirious when Floyd Jenkins and John ("Boots") Sapp came to see him. He said he wanted his collar loosened and when he felt that the end was near said, "Well, goodbye boys, I'm going." Hoff was perhaps the best known of the trio. He was formerly a sergeant and front guide in Company G, First Infantry, Maryland National Guard. He was regarded as a good soldier and was well liked by fellow members of the company. An investigation was started immediately by State's Attorney William A. Huster and other county authorities as well as Officer Philips. No inquest was deemed necessary. The body of Lease was not identified for several hours. Keys found near his body fitted the door to his room at the home of Hugh Stevenson, 214 Fulton street, where he boarded, and this garage. Skelly was one of perhaps a score of local aviators. He had been instructed in flying by William J. Johnson and Walter A. Coughenour, also local pilots. He purchased the plane April a year ago, and had over 200 hours of solo flying to his credit. He had a students' pilot's license. The crash was the worst in the history of the Cumberland area. Two U. S. Army fliers were burned to death more than a year ago when their plane crashed into the side of Little Savage Mountain, and another was killed a short time later, when he crashed at the intersection of the National Highway and the Meyersdale road. Both crashes were due to fog. Two Army fliers were injured, though not seriously, when a bombing plane crashed on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks near Roberts Station, several years ago. The field from which the plane took off was one of two near the city. It was opened last year by Harold W. Krimm and operated throughout the summer. An air circus, featured by the stunt flying of three Marine Corps fliers, was held there under the auspices of the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Local pilots differed as to the cause of the crash. It was said that the plane was in first class shape, but one pilot said this morning that he had flown it a little over two months ago, at which time a piston in the 90-horsepower Curtis OX motor had broken and cracked a cylinder. He said that he was able to make a forced landing and advised Skelly to rebuild the motor. He added that he understood that a new cylinder and piston had been fitted but that the motor had not been rebuilt and was not turning up sufficient revolutions to be considered air-worthy. A Department of Commerce inspector is expected here today to investigate the crash and the above facts will be given him. All three men were married and had children. The pilot is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Skelly, and seven small children. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 9 a. m. from St. Ambrose's Catholic Church, Cresaptown. Lease is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edith Lease, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben B. Lease, and by two small children. Surviving also are four brothers, Arlie T., Richard T., Mason and Frank Lease, and two sisters, Mrs. Clarence E. McKenzie and Miss Harriet Lease. Funeral services will be held at 9 a. m. tomorrow from the Cresaptown M. E. Church, with burial in the family plot at Dawson. Hoff is survived by his wife and one daughter, Nancy, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hoff; by three brothers, Robert A., Roy R., and Russell E., and by three sisters, Mrs. C F. Rice, Mrs. Charles Zimmerman and Miss Mildred Hoff. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow from the home, 722 Hill Top Drive, with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery, the Rev. H. Hall Sharp officiating. George Barton and Firman Barton, on whose farm the airport is located, were badly burned about the hands in tearing the few remnants of burning clothing from Hoff and Skelly. The two men with Richard Summerfield saw the plane crash and were about 250 feet from the spot. They immediately started toward and were within fifty feet of the blazing ship when Hoff and Skelly emerged from it, groping blindly through the smoke and flames. Unable to reach Lease who was pinned in the cock-pit, the trio chased after Skelly and Lease and tore the burning clothing from them. The Bartons, who are brothers, suffered burns about the hands. Hoff had run along the fence and pieces of flesh were pulled from his body by the barbed wire. All his clothing except portions about his belt and shoes, were burned a way. Skelly, whose eyes were burned out, ran a short distance from the plane and fell into a gully where the Bartons tried to aid him in whatever way they could. Summerfield, who is a World War veteran of this area, advanced the opinion that the men did not free themselves from plane but were dropped out when the bottom of the cockpit had burned away.

LEASURE, Clarence

SPURNED HUSBAND DEAD SELF INFLICTED PISTOL WOUND PROVES FATAL ~ Clarence Leasure Fires Bullet Into Brain When Estranged Wife Refuses to Live With Him. ~ ENACTS TRAGIC SCENE IN HER PRESENCE ~ Pair Had Finished Heart to Heart Talk In Secret Regarding Strained Domestic Relations. Clarence Leasure, 28 years old, road worker, who shot himself in the head about 6 o'clock last night at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Kate Wolfe, Chestnut St, Mapleside, after his young wife, Mrs Helen Leasure, from whom he was estranged, refused to return and live with him, died of his wound at 9 o'clock this morning in the Allegany Hospital. Shoots Self in Front of Wife Angered at her refusal to return to him, Leasure, as he stood a few feet away from his wife, suddenly drew a .32 caliber pistol from his pocket and sent a bullet crashing through his brain. He held the pistol on the right side of his head above his ear. He was attended by Dr E B Claybrook at the hospital after his arrival there in an ambulance. He was unconscious and never rallied. County Investigator, Terrance J Boyle and Deputy Sheriff Hugh A Hotchkiss, who investigated the shooting, learned from the member of the Wolfe family that Leasure came to the home about 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon seeking his wife. Couple Had Been Estranged They had been estranged in recent months. He had been living with his brother, Tolbert Leasure, Chestnut Street, while his wife and two children remained with her mother in the same neighborhood. The wife is employed at the Cumberland Macaroni Factory, Thomas Street. Mrs Wolfe stated that when Leasure came to the house, there were present her three children, Elsie, Mary and Edward Wolfe and Charles Owens, a boarder. The wife came home shortly five o'clock. Leasure, Mrs Wolfe declared, refused her invitation to have supper with them. Leasure and his wife went into the front room of the house and talked. During their conversation, Mrs Leasure told him she would not return and live with him, the officers learned. Angered at Wife's Refusal The couple came out of the room into the hall which was unlighted at the time, and Mrs Leasure started up the stairway, repeating she did not intend to live with him any more. "All right then", Leasure is reported to have answered. The wife suddenly heard the report of the weapon and the sound of Leasure's body as he crumpled and fell to the floor of the hall, bleeding from a wound in the head. Mrs Tolbert Leasure, sister-in-law of the dead man, told officers that Clarence Leasure had the pistol in his overcoat pocket wrapped in paper as early as Tuesday. She did not question him about the weapon. Leasure had given no intimation, the family said, that he intended to take his life. Leasure is survived by his wife , Helen, and two small children, Phyllis and Richard. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs Thomas Leasure, Willow Brook Road and five sisters: Mrs Thomas Shipley, Purcell, Pa; Mrs Bow McCue, Robertsdale, Pa; Mrs J D Shipley, Lindersville; Mrs Thomas Naills, Mapleside and Mrs William Price, Mapleside.

Samuel Frederick Leatherman, who departed this life March 8, 1913, at the age of 26 years, 9 months, and 7 days, was the son of Mrs. Kate Leatherman, of New Creek. Samuel was born at Purgitsville in 1887, and lived there a few years. Later he with his parents moved to New Creek, which was his home until the time of his death. There he had many friends who appreciated and loved him and also sympathize with his surviving mother and brother in their grief, which nothing but time, the great healer, can temper and alleviate the anguish of their loss. He was a consistent member of the Christian Church of Elkins, W. Va., uniting with it two years ago. Although death came like a thief in the night, it found him willing and, as he said, not afraid to die. His remains were taken to Burlington cemetery, and there laid beside his father and other loved ones who had preceded him. Where the pains of death are past, Labor and Sorrow cease; And life's short warfare closed at last;

His soul forever in peace. Keyser Tribune, April 25, 1913

LEE, John

Eckhart, Md., Aug. 4. - Mr. John Lee, aged 25, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Lee, Sr., of Eckhart, who was very seriously injured yesterday noon in Brophy's low vein mine, died at 12:30 o'clock, last night. The young man was engaged in running the electric motor that bank the cars at the mine. He was running the electric motor in an old working. When he came to the trap door on the road he slowed down the motor and jumped off and ran ahead to open the trap door so the motor could pass through. He either did not judge the distance between the door and the motor or probably has some trouble in getting the door open and thus lost time. At any rate, the electric motor that he had left, coming slowly toward him caught up to him at the trap door before he got it open and he was caught between the ribs of the mine, doorway and motor, and badly squeezed about the abdominal regions, and otherwise scratched and bruised externally. A large iron nail punctured his lungs. The young man was conveyed to his home, where Dr. Cobey, of Frostburg. and Dr. Cromwell, of Eckhart, rendered surgical aid. Miss Rose McDermott, of Mt. Savage, a trained nurse, attended him. What makes the affair more sorrowful is that the young man's mother, who has been ill for some time, is prostrated over the death of her son.

LEGEER, Jacob

Killed in a Mine. This morning about 9 o'clock Mr. Jacob Legeer, aged about fifty years, and an old miner in the Georges Creek region, was instantly killed by the fall of a roof of coal in Hoffman mine, and John Muray[sic], who was working in the same room with Mr. Legeer, was dangerously, if not fatally, injured, having been caught under the ponderous mass of coal. Mr. Legeer and Mr. Murray both entered the mine this morning in bright spirits, and were engaged in cutting out the side of the room in the mine, when to the amazement of Mr. Murray the roof gave way, completely burying Mr. Legeer and partly burying Mr. Murray. An alarm was sounded as speedily as possible and willing hands soon moved the coal from off the imprisoned men. Mr. Murray was removed first and was found to be in a dangerous condition. When the body of Mr. Legeer was recovered, life was extinct, showing that his death must have been instantaneous. He leaves a wife, three boys and two girls, who reside in Vale Summit.

LEIGHTER, James

Tuesday night about nine o'clock James Leighter was found in the back yard at J. T. Cullen's hotel, Coaldale, by C. H. McIntyre. Leighter was lying with his head in a ditch, in a position, which, it is believed by McIntyre, would have killed him if he had remained there much longer. McIntyre pulled Leighter out of the gutter and, assisted by C. C. Forster, carried him to a carriage shed. About eleven o'clock Dr. Davis was summoned. He examined Leighter and found that he was dead. The doctor believed that Leighter had died an hour before he was called and thought that death was caused by a stroke, or hemorrhages. Coroner Stoner went to Coaldale Wednesday morning and held an inquest. Several witnesses were examined, but they threw little light on the circumstances connected with the death of Leighter. One man testified that the deceased was drunk Tuesday afternoon, another that he was sober. There was a hole in the head of the dead man and when viewed by the coroner he was lying in a cramped position with his head on the door-sill of the shed. The jury decided that death was caused by a fall and hemorrhages. Leighter was about fifty-two years old. His wife died several years ago.

LEIGHTON, James

On Saturday James Leighton, aged 118, died at the almshouse. The actual age of the man cannot be accurately ascertained, and beyond his own statement no proof exists. He has frequently averred that he was born in the year 1768, and had vivid recollections of incidents which occurred during the Revolutionary war. That he is over one hundred years old is pretty well substantiated by the statement of one of the inmates who is eighty years old and says that he remembered Leighton as a grown man when he (the inmate) was a boy.

The Maryland party was enroute home from the Century of Progress at Chicago. Souvenirs of the fair were strewn over the highway.

LILLER, Jacob

Mr. Jacob Liller is dead. Mr. Liller was born near Ridgeville, Hampshire Co, Va, as it was then in the year of 1843. He lived all his life in that and the vicinity of Keyser, well known and respected by all who became acquainted with him Mr. Liller has been a lifelong Republican, and while in health took some part in politics, always kept himself well posted, knew something of the wire working and rascality generally used among politician s. He could advance some excellent advice along that line to those who were honest enough at heart to receive it. He has been very much afflicted for years but worked whenever able to go. It can and is said of him that Uncle Jake Liller was one of the most industrious, honest, upright men I ever knew. The community and many friends will and do miss Uncle Jake.

LINDELL, Jesse

The funeral of Jesse Lindell, who was killed in a collision between a B. & O. locomotive and the South Cumberland auto bus, took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from his home. Services were conducted by Rev. M.B. McLaughlin and burial was made in Rose Hill cemetery. Young Lindell was killed at the Harrison street crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad Saturday night at 11 o'clock when an engine on the B. & O. crashed into the South Cumberland auto bus, totally demolishing it and instantly killing Jesse Lindell, aged 14 years, son of Charles T. Lindell, of 141 Humbird street. Sixteen other passengers on the bus were more or less injured. The injured are: V. Campbell, age 19 years, residence 501 Springdale street, Cumberland, scratched about knee in four places and bruise on back of head; Thomas Whalley, age 17 years, residence 13 South Cedar street, Cumberland, cut about little finger, left hand; M. Campbell, residence, 501 Springdale street, Cumberland, age 16 years, contused knee; Rodger Eackles, residence South Cumberland, scratched about face; Mrs. A. B. Cox, Cumberland, shock from general shaking up; F. Villing, 104 Walnut street, Cumberland, slightly bruised; Miss Regine Houck, South Cumberland, shock; Mrs. J. A. Ault, 1320 Virginia avenue, South Cumberland, shock and lightly bruised; James Ault, son of Mrs. Ault, slight bruise; Mrs. W. S. Cross, 1520 Virginia Ave., Cumberland, shock; Miss Rebecca Gross, 1320 Virginia avenue, fingers bruised; Mrs. A. Swarner, No. 3 Browning street, general bruises; Miss Hazel and Albert, children of Mrs. Swarner, bruised; Mrs. C. B. Sweitzer, 13 Oldtown road, shock; Miss Emma Evans, Cumberland, not injured. Young Lindell, it is said, endeavored to jump from the bus when he realized the danger, but the crash came so quick that he was prevented doing so and the impact was so great that he was thrown out of the door of the bus against a box car standing at the side of the crossing. In the fall he sustained a compound fracture of the skull, lacerated ear, a concussion of the right shoulder, his right arm was broken at several places, and his chest was crushed. The Butler ambulance was summoned and it was with a great deal of difficulty and not until the wrecked auto bus was jacked up on one side that the body of the unfortunate young lad was extricated from beneath the wheels and freight car. The body was removed to the Butler morgue and prepared for burial. It was later removed to the Stein funeral parlor and then to the home in South Cumberland. The engine, No. 2154, that struck the auto, had arrived but a few minutes before with passenger train No 12, and was running down the east freight track to the shops. Box cars on both sides of the crossing hid the approaching engine and the operator of the bus, W.V. Gulbronson, did not see his danger until the front of the engine was near the crossing. The engineer applied his emergency brakes but without result as the bus was pushed down the tracks fully twelve feet and crushed into splinters before the engine was brought to a stop. It is a miracle that every passenger in the bus was not killed. Coroner William E. Shaw held an inquest Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Stein morgue and rendered the following verdict: "We, the jury, find that Jesse Lindell came to his death by being crushed while riding on the South Cumberland bus, said bus being hit by Baltimore and Ohio engine No.2154, at Harrison street, on the night of September 5th, it being the opinion of the jury that the death of Jesse Lindell could have been avoided had a watchman been placed at this crossing."

DIES OF STROKE ~ Mine Superintendent's Funeral Services Set For Monday Patrick Locke, one of the pioneers of the Fayette County Coke Region and regarded as a father of Leith Works where for many years he was superintendent, died at 3:25 a. m. Friday, February 22, 1929, in St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, of a final stroke of paralysis. Three other strokes had been suffered by Mr. Locke, the first in 1922 which caused his retirement from his duties with the corporation. Mr. Locke was born in Barton, Md., a son of John and Ann Nevin Locke. He came to Fayette county as a young man and was first located in the Connellsville district. Leith first heard of Mr. Locke in 1882 when as transportation boss he made an initial record for himself there. In 1896 he had gone through the successive steps and was the company's mine foreman. In 1902 he became superintendent and remained in that capacity until his retirement. Mr. Locke was a charter member of the Youghiogheny Council Knights of Columbus and one of its early Grand Knights. Later he transferred his membership to Uniontown Council. For many years he participated in the sessions of The Coal Mining Institute of America and often was on its programs. He was one of the early members of the Frick Veterans Association. Mr. Locke was complimented many times by company officials because of his interest in the humanitarian policies of the corporation. Ho was one of the first, to organize first aid teams for his mines and succeeded in reducing accidents to a normal figure long before serious attention had been paid to conservation of life and limb by national interests. Mr.

Locke married Elizabeth Jane Doonan of Dunbar on June 23, 1887.

LONG, George

It is with feelings of profound sorrow that we announce the death of Mr. George Long, which sad event took place at the residence, No. 15 North Mechanic street, at 8 o’clock last evening. His death was one of those sudden and calamitous strokes which appall, while they bring sorrow. On Tuesday morning Mr. Long was quite in his usual health and was cheerful, attending to his business with a sprightliness that gave no token of the impending evil. In the morning about 7 o’clock he went to market and returning home, eat[sic] his breakfast with a good appetite. Between 9 and 10 o’clock he went to the barber and was shaved, preserving in the meantime the same cheerful and happy spirit. About 11 o’clock the same morning he was taken suddenly with agonizing pains that were distressing to witness. Medical aid was at once summoned, and it was ascertained that he was afflicted with strangulation of the intestines. Every means was taken that medical surgical intelligence could supply, but his sufferings continued through the day and succeeding night, and through yesterday morning. Relief was partially afforded in the evening, but the physician gave no room to hope for his recovery. His sufferings where only terminated by death, which kindly came at the hour above stated. The deceased was a merchant of this city, extensively engaged in the baking and confectionery business, having a handsome trade and enjoying the confidence of the people. He was born in Ansfeld, near Hensfort, Bavaria, and came to this country in the year 1850 and settled at Wellersburg, Pa, where he remained a short while, and subsequently came to Allegany county. He had been a resident of Cumberland twenty-seven years at the time of his death. He was a member of Sts. Peter and Paul’s German Catholic church, and also a member of Sts. Peter and Paul's and the German Union Beneficial Societies of this city. Mr. Long was in his 47th year, having been born on the 10th of March, 1832. He leaves a widow and seven children to mourn their irreparable loss. The funeral cortege will leave the residence on North Mechanic street at half-past nine o’clock tomorrow (Friday) morning, and the obsequies will take place at Sts. Peter and Paul church at 10 o’clock a.m. We extend to the sorrowing family our sincere condolence in this hour of their bereavement.

LOTZ, Frank

(see " Miners' Recollections " Frank Lotz ) HURLED TO INSTANT DEATH. Frank Lutz[sic] Killed at Mt. Savage Yesterday Afternoon - Four Companions Badly Injured. Yesterday evening five young men, employees of the Union Mining company, whose names are J.[sic] Lutz[sic], Ed. Black[sic], Samuel Reeser, John Gleim and William Lammert[sic], mounted three hoppers laden with clay, just as they were starting down the plane to the brick yard. When nearing the foot of the plane, the wire cable to which the cars were attached parted, and they leaped forward with renewed speed. Finally they jumped the track, carrying with them the young men, who were buried in the wreck which followed. Young Lutz, when reached by a party of rescuers, was found quite dead, and Kline[sic] and Reeser were seriously injured and Black[sic] and Lammert[sic] badly bruised and shaken up. A special to the Times from Mt. Savage states: About 4:30 yesterday evening, Ed. Blank, aged about 35; Wm. Sourbrine, aged 12; Wm. Reeser, age 19; Frank Lutz[sic], aged 15; Jno. Gleim, age 12, and Wm Lemmert, age 16, were returning from work at the Fire Clay mines of the Union Mining company, and rode down the incline on the loaded cars. When near the bottom, the cable broke. The train ran a short distance at high speed, when it left the track and jumped over an embankment. Sourbrine and Blank got off when the cable broke, and only got a few scratches, etc. The others staid[sic] on and were hurled off when the cars left the track. Lutz[sic] was thrown up in the air and landed against a stone, instantly killing him; the back of his head was crushed in, brains dashed out, bones broken and body badly cut. William Reeser, seriously injured; two cuts in head (scalp) and fears of internal injuries; dangerous[italic], but may[italic] recover. William Lemmert, badly cut about the head, but no fears of not recovering. John Gleim, head and body bruised, and tongue nearly cut in two, All were employed in the Clay mines. Gleim has been especially unfortunate of late, and was badly burned by the explosion of powder some time ago, then had both arms broken. His father was killed by being run over by the cars on the incline in March last. The injured were somewhat better this morning and resting quietly. Reeser is the most seriously injured, but may get well. The other two are not so bad and will recover. Reeser is from Sandy Hook, the rest live here. The cars were broken and the track was badly torn up. The plane is one of the longest in the country, being 1½ miles in length and worked by wire cable.

LOWERY, Harris Grover

The State's Attorney's office today continued to probe circumstances surrounding the death of 64-year-old Harris Grover Lowery, Corriganville, who was found lying unconscious along the B. and O. tracks at Corriganville early, last Thursday morning. Lowery, who failed to regain consciousness after he was discovered by railroad employes, died Sunday at 8:05 a. m. in Memorial Hospital where he was taken by State Police. Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, attributed death to a cerebral hemorrhage resulting from a fractured skull. Lowery remained unidentified more than 10 hours, before Lloyd Kline, Corriganville, reported the man had been missing since the night before he was found. Lowery's wife, the former Sarah Clites, gave authorities a description of his clothes and identification followed. An early suspicion of' "foul play" was later changed by Criminal Investigator William P. Baker, of the State Police. He said "it appears the man fell near the tracks." Born April 21, 1884, Mr. Lowery was a farmer. His parents were the late Emmanuel and Sarah (Witt) Lowery. Surviving, besides his widow, are nine children, Mrs. Alvenia Johnston, Ellerslie; Lester E. and Clifton Lowery, Hyndman, Pa.; Oscar Lowery, Baltimore; Gladys Lowery and Martha Lowery, Corriganville; Leo Lowery and Mrs. Hilda Gray, this city, and Clifton (sic: already mentioned) Lowery, Barrelville.

LOWNDES, Richard Tasker

(abridged) SUDDEN DEATH OF R.T. LOWNDES JR.[sic] Expired Yesterday Afternoon at Four O'clock. ~ IN HOSPITAL, CLARKSBURG ~ Was Put Under an Anaesthetic Preparatory to an Operation Upon an Injured Hand--Son of Ex-Governor Lowndes and a Native of This City. Mr. Richard T. Lowndes, Jr.,[sic] died yesterday afternoon about 4 o'clock in St. Mary's Hospital, Clarksburg, W. Va. When death overcame him Mr. Lowndes was under an anaesthetic given him for the purpose of operating upon him. Mr. Lowndes went to the hospital Thursday morning and was place on the operating table at 10:30 o'clock. The anaesthetic was then given him, but before the operation could be performed the action of the heart became alarming and every effort was then made to restore him, but without avail and about four o'clock in the afternoon he was pronounced dead. A few weeks ago Mr. Lowndes met with an injury to his right hand and it did not properly heal. It was for this that he was to be operated on. Mr. Lowndes was a son of former Governor Lowndes, of Maryland, who died suddenly at his home in this city last January. He was born in Cumberland in November 1871, and was therefore in his thirty-fourth year. Mr. Lowndes spent his boyhood days and early manhood in Cumberland. He graduated at Yale University and afterward went to Clarksburg, where he became associated in business with his uncle Mr. Richard T. Lowndes, who has large commercial and manufacturing interests in West Virginia. Since his residence at Clarksburg Mr. Lowndes became prominent in business, politics and society and his prominent family connection made him well known throughout his native and adopted states. Mr. Lowndes married Miss Mary McDowell, of Danville, KY. His widow and one son, Master Richard Lowndes survives him, as does also his mother, Mrs. Lloyd Lowndes, of this city, and four brothers, namely, Mr. Lloyd Lowndes [his twin], vice president of the Second National Bank here; Major Charles T. Lowndes, Mr. W. Bladen Lowndes, of Mt. Savage; Mr. Tasker Lowndes, and Miss Elizabeth Lowndes of Cumberland. [Two paragraphs re: travel of brothers omitted] It was decided this afternoon to have the funeral of Mr. Lowndes take place in this city Sunday afternoon at ?? o'clock with burial in Rose Hill cemetery. The body will arrive here on the No. 12 tonight and will be kept at the Lowndes residence on Washington street until the hour for the funeral. Major Chas. T. Lowndes and Mr. Lloyd Lowndes will probably be here.

LUDWICK, James Edlin

James Edlin Ludwick died May 23, 1912, aged 24 years, 10 months and 22 days. He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Ludwick. He was kicked in the stomach by a horse on Wednesday, about noon, and died Thursday morning near seven o'clock. He leaves to mourn their loss his father and mother and two sister, Misses Otie and Cora. He was very much loved by his family, and was very true, good boy to his parents, and sisters. He will be greatly missed by his many associates, as his familiar voice and kindness were an inspiration to everyone. These mysterious dealings of Providence in taking away from our homes those whom we love most is beyond our comprehension, but "Sometime We'll Understand" as not a "sparrow falls to the ground without our Father's notice." Funeral services were held in Blake Chapel church by Rev J. W. Bedford. A conservative estimate of the crowd of persons that attended the funeral services was seven hundred. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. The pallbearers were his six cousins, Henry L., Earl A., Wesley A., Herschel G., Thomas B., and Lewis W. Duling. The flower bearers were Blanche, Bernice, Kate, Carrie, Grace and Zennie Duling, cousins of the deceased. F. C. Rollman was undertaker.

LUDWICK, James Edlin.

The funeral services of James A.[sic] Ludwick at Hartmonsville last Sunday was largely attended by friends from this place. As has been noted in the papers he was kicked in the stomach by a stallion in a stable at Arch Biggs' near Cross, May 25. He suffered but little and was planning to be out again in a few days. The stomach and intestines no doubt were paralyzed by the powerful stroke. A physician was called but could do nothing. Death came suddenly the morning of the 26th. Rev J. W. Bedford preached the funeral sermon, assisted by Rev D B Arnold. The unfortunate young man was nearly 25 years old, and the son of Edward Ludwick. An unusually large crowd attended the funeral.

LUDWIG, Pauline

Oakville Pa, Dec 3, 1912. Dear Editor, I take this method to inform our friends of the sudden departure of our little Pauline, a little over three years old. Membranous croup was the dreaded disease that claimed her. At 12:20 on Thanksgiving day, we gave her good-bye. she was conscious until within a few minutes of the end, and we believe she knew she was going away. Her intellectual and devotional faculties were wonderfully developed for her years. For several weeks before the end came, she was much given to prayer and reading her little Bible (in her childish way), and repeatedly inquired of her mother when she would die and go to heaven. We should have been warned and prepared but we were not. My own illness prevented me from her presence during her suffering and could not see her laid to rest. I am some better at this writing. To all who remembered us so kindly with letters of sympathy, we return our thanks. S. R. Ludwig and Wife

LUMAN, Theodore

The Wellknown and Aged Clerk of the Court at Cumberland Is Dead. [Special by Phone to The Mail.] Cumberland, Monday, Dec. 31.-- The last day of the old Century in Cumberland has been stained by a terrible tragedy. Mr. Theodore Luman, the wellknown and beteran clerk of the Court for Allegany County in Cumberland, is dead and that in a mysterious manner. He left Cumberland on Sunday afternoon from his comfortable home to take a stroll. He crossed the bridge over to the Virginia side of the Potomac just back of the new Court House and that was the last seen there. For 35 years he had been clerk of the Court and a familiar figure to nearly every man in the county. His son and friends began to get worried but failed to find him anywhere and thought he was visiting womewhere until midnight and then the alarm grew decided. Thursday at day break a force of men mumbering at least a thousand went out and began a search and he was found at last in a rugh place called Devil's Slide, down between Cumberland and Pattison's Creek, dead and with the face and body disfigured and torn and the pockets emptied out. Not far from that spot is where a rough gang is working on a new railroad and it was thought the murder was due to some of them. Officers were scouring the country for details and the body was on the way into Cumberland where a great excitement prevailed all the morning for Mr. Luma was liked and loved by hundred of people and was well known in the county. His unfortunate death is widely deplored. Details came in slowly. The new that he was a sort of geologist and beside was in the habit of climbing about the crags in and about the Devil's Slide, a precipitous place, soon created a feeling that his death might have been due to an accident. A farmer who came to town stated that he saw him near Pinto walking along the road not far from his mother's, Mrs. Luman's home. He walked out and was found, four and a half miles from his home. Before noon the suicide theory spread about and doubts were thrown on the murder idea. The jury of inquest went out at noon. The doctor states that the skull was crushed in and the condition and position of the body indicates that he had fallen or been thrown from the steep and lofty cliff at least 400 feet high slipping to within 20 feet of the Potomas river after the fall. His hat was still on but his clothing was badly torn, and his neck broken. His body lay there for three hours and was taken in charge by the Coroner. Accidental Hon. B. F. M. Hurley and D. Frank Hull went to the funeral of Mr. Luman, found dead near Cumberland on Saturday. The general supposition is that his death was accidental. Extensive preparations were made for the funeral. Rev. Dr. James E. Moffatt officiated assisted by Rev. A. J. Gill, pastor of Centre street M. E. church, a borther-in-law of the deceased. The funeral was held in the Presbyterian church at 3:30 p.m. Judge A. Hunter Boyd presided at the meeting of the Bar Association which named a committee to draw resolutions. The Twentieth Century Club, of which Col. Luman was practically the founder, will hold a memorial service, at which Gen. Joseph Sprigg will deliver an eulogy. The Elks had a special delegation. Col. Luman was the sixth clerk of the Circuit Court of Allegany county, although the county was organized over 100 years ago. He succeeded Horace Resley. Washington county was organized in 1770 and has had only five clerks.

LYBARGER, David

Special to the Alleganian, Speelman, Pa., July 6 - It is with profound sorrow that we write of the death of David Lybarger. This sad event occurred on Saturday evening, July 2. Although he hads been ailing for a long time, his death was a great surprise to all, as he had been walking about a few minutes before his death, which was caused by a stroke of paralysis. He was the father of eleven children, eight of whom are living, four boys and four girls, namely, Mrs. F. P. McCoy, Mrs. George Holler, of Speelman; Mrs. William Mickey, of Savage, W. Va.; Mrs. Joe Kring, of Wilkinsburg; Mr. E. E., L. D., John and George, of Speelman. All of the living children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren were at the funeral, the services of which were held at the Lutheran church at Madley at 10 a.m. on the 4th instant. Services were conducted by Rev. George D. Gross, pastor of the Lutheran church, of which he was a member of longstanding. Mr. Lybarger's wife died 19 years ago. Grandfather Lybarger had been a soldier of the Civil War, having served in Co. E 49th Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteers. There was a surprisingly large number of people at the funeral, as the deceased was well known and greatly respected. It seems that persons from a distance no more closely related than that of being neighbors at one time or another,. but acquaintances attended the funeral in preference to giving their time to the customary festivities of the day. The deceased was eighty years old.

LYBARGER, Mrs. Amelia Crum

Mrs. Amelia C. Lybarger, mother of General E. L. Lybarger, died at their home in Spring Mountain Thursday evening at 7 o'clock. She had been gradually sinking from the infirmities of old age and other ailments and her demise was not unexpected. About two years ago Mrs. Lybarger suffered from a hard fall and fractured a hip, since which time she has been partially crippled and was confined to her bed the last two months. The immediate cause of death was senile gangreen with resulting blood poison. The end was peaceful and she passed from earth in sweet, child-like sleep. Amelia Crum Lybarger was born at Winchester, Va. in 1813, and had reached the ripe old age of 89 years. Her father, Lewis Crum, migrated with his family to Ohio in 1820, and was one of the early settlers of Wayne county, Ohio. The ancestors of Mrs. Lybarger were among the first settlers of Virginia. Both her paternal and maternal grandfathers were Revolutionary soldiers. The entire family connection was closely affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church, and Mrs. Lybarger herself a faithful member of that denomination for more than 70 years. She was married in 1837 to James T. Lybarger, who died in 1864. Since the war of the Rebellion she has made her home with her son, E. L. Lybarger, who is her only surviving child, where she received every care and comfort that loving hands and hearts could minister. Funeral services will be held at the residence Saturday morning at 8 o'clock, and the remains will be taken to Danville cemetery and laid to rest in the family lot there.
