BAILEY, Mrs. Ninnettie Elizabeth Marie

CUMBERLAND — Ninnettie Elizabeth Marie Bailey passed peacefully the evening of Monday, Oct. 7, 2013. Marie was the loving mother of five boys, Shane, Yuri, Travis, Tate and Yancey Bailey. She is also survived by her husband, Carl Marcus Bailey; siblings, John Horner, Myra Yonker, and Sadonia, and multiple nieces; nephews; grandchildren and godchildren. All who knew Marie, knew her as a fierce and sometimes overly assertive individual. She was loud, cussed like a sailor and would stand up to anyone to defend the weak. She was a nurse and compulsive care giver, who tended to ailing neighbors and strangers alike; even when she was weak and ailing herself. She had an almost unhealthy obsession with butterflies which she shared by giving presentations to elementary school students and in her photography. She had a bawdy sense of humor, that could as easily make you roll on the floor, as well as blush; and when she really laughed it lit up the room. Open mind and open hearted, she was the single most accepting and loving person you would ever meet. She taught everyone, lucky enough to know her, how to be brave, how to stand tall and how to care for others. In typical Marie Bailey fashion, Marie’s last act of charity and kindness, was to donate her body to the Maryland State Anatomy Board in the hope her body could help medical students learn. In lieu of her passing, the family is holding a private service to honor Marie's memory. The family asks, if so moved, that you make a donation in her honor to the charity of your choice. Otherwise, pay honor to this special woman by thinking of her with the next butterfly you see.

BAKER, Arthur

PROMINENT CITIZEN PASSES AWAY Arthur Baker, aged 73 years, died at home at 173 East Union Street last Saturday morning. Mr. Baker was born in Gloucestershire, England. He had been a resident of Frostburg continuously for 47 years. At the age of 22 years Mr. Baker took charge as superintendent of the Savage Mountain Fire-Brick Works. He set to work with a will and by perseverance and business foresight of rare quality, a superior brick was soon turned out. During the time that he was in charge of the works, not a single brick was ever returned, and no complaint as to its size and quality has ever been made. Mr. Baker was a member of the Frostburg Lodge, No. 470 B.P.O.E. and held the off ice of Tiler for 12 years. He was a member of the local lodge of Royal Arceanum. He is survived by his wife and three daughters, Mrs. Effie B. Thomas, Mrs. Edward L. Betz, of this place and Mrs. Frank Munn of Hagerstown; six grandchildren, and one brother, Louis Baker of Mt. Savage. Mr. Baker was one of the oldest and best citizens of Frostburg. The following account of his work [at] the Savage Mountain Fire Brick Company’s plant appeared in the [missing publication] February 14, 1907; "Thursday, February 14, 1907, Arthur Baker, of this place, rounded out his fortieth year as superintendent of the Savage Mountain Brick Works. At a critical period in his early life a quiet unassuming young man, about 22 years of age appeared on the scene, took charge as superintendent, and was not long in convincing Mr. Gorsuch, president of the company, that he understood the business. This was not all, Mr. Baker had a fair knowledge of machinery, which has been of great value to the company. Upon numerous occasions he has made repairs and kept the wheels turning without the loss of a single brick. All the machinery installed during these forty years has been done under his personal direction. From time to time he has introduced labor-saving devices. The old style wheel-barrow with one wheel carrying 48 brick, was a load for the strongest man. This was done away with and a two-wheelbarrow substituted, arranged by him to be so easily balanced, so that a boy of 15 years can haul 100 bricks without extra physical exertion. In 1887 he invented a new style of press, which in point of strength and endurance, is a great improvement over the old ones. He constructed these presses with his own hands, and they are to the present day giving satisfaction. Up to a few years ago the clay which is brought from the mines in wagons had to be shoveled into the yard. One man and sometimes two were required for this work. For a long time Mr. Baker had in mind a plan for dumping these great wagon loads which was put aside from time to time but finally taken up the solution. A hoisting machine was figured out and then placed into position. There is something about this yard which is of note. During the last 40 years not a single brick has been returned and no complaint as to size or quality has ever been made. This is something to be proud of, for it shows the care and attention Mr. Baker has manifested in discharge if his duties. Those who have served under Mr. Baker, and who know him best will testify that while at all times he has been firm and positive with his men, he has ever been considerate and sympathetic, and has manifested an interest in their welfare. One of the hardest tasks for him to perform is to discharge an employee, and the provocation must be great which forces him to do so." The funeral was held Monday afternoon from his home on East Union Street. The services were conducted by Rev. J. N. Beall and Rev. P. G. Saffiran after which the local Order of Elks took charge. Interment was made in Allegany Cemetery. The pallbearers were: Duncan E Shaffer, D. J. Betz, Howard Hitchens, James H. Fuller, Lawrence L Willison, John A. Caldwell, George W. Craig, of this place and Emory G. Buckingham of Baltimore. Posted September 15, 201

BAKER, John W.

DEATH OF JOHN W BAKER John W Baker, one of our energetic and popular young contractors and builders, met with a accident last Tues afternoon. He was on a scaffold at the building which he and his father, Contractor H. W. Baker are erecting for R. G. Richardson, seeing about some work, when the scaffold gave way, throwing him to the ground, a distance of at least thirty feet. He fell on his back and after striking the ground was unable to move, although retaining consciousness. His father came near going down with the scaffold also. He was on it and fell, it gave way, but was able to grab hold of a window, which he got into just in time to save himself. As soon as Mr. Baker and the hands could get to Johnny they picked him up and finding that he was badly hurt, took him to the Hoffman Hospital. An examination showed that his back was broken and that he was paralyzed from the shoulders down. He lingered till about six o'clock Thursday evening, Aug 3, 1905, when he peacefully passed away. He was conscious almost to the last. The deceased was 27 years of age and was the only son of Mr and Mrs Henry W Baker. He spent all his life in Keyser and enjoyed the esteem and respect of every one. He was a model young man, a devoted husband, son and brother, a sincere friend and honorable and upright young man in every respect. His sad death is a shock to his loved ones and many friends. He was not a member of any church, but has been deeply concerned for some time about his spiritual condition and doubtless made his peace and election sure before passing to the great beyond. He was a Past chancellor of Olive Branch Lodge, No 25 K of P, and was an honored member of the order at the time of his death being the Master of the Work. About two years ago, he united in marriage with Miss Gertrude Taylor, of Purgitsville, who survives him, together with father and mother and two sisters, Mrs. Harry L Welch, and Miss Elsie Baker. The funeral will take place Sunday at two o'clock pm, and will be in charge of the Knights of Pythias. Interment will take place in Queen's Point Cemetery. Posted July 15 , 2010

BANE, Daniel Ervin

One of he saddest affairs that we have been called upon to chronicle, occurred last Tues morning, when Daniel Ervin Bane, aged 32 years, single, son of Abner W. Bane, one of the wealthiest farmers of Mineral Co, committed suicide by blowing is head off with a shot gun. The tragedy occurred at the home of his parents, near Burlington, this county. The reason assigned is ill health, following vaccination for smallpox. Mr. Bane has been in bad health for some time past and since being vaccinated has been in such good(?) condition that it was necessary to keep close watch on him. That morning at 8:30 o'clock his attendant left his room for a few minutes and in that short space of time the sick man arose from his bed, hurried down stairs, secured a shot-gun, which was loaded, and placing the barrel against the side of his head he pulled the trigger. The noise of the discharge of the gun brought members of the family into the room in which the deed had been done, and found the young man stretched out upon the floor, the top of his head blown off, and breathing his last. A physician was summoned but before he arrived the man was dead. The family attributed his rash act to his recent illness, and more especially to the suffering said to be due to vaccination. Bane's untimely death has proved a shock to the entire neighborhood because he was well known and a great favorite among the young men. He is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Bane; four sisters, the Misses Cora, Annie and Grace, at home, and Mrs Daniel Bailey, of Beaver Run; and two brothers, Charles W. and William W. Bane, of this community. The funeral took place on Wed afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, and interment took place at Beaver Run church.

At the age of 16 his father died, leaving him to assume the responsibility of supporting the mother and the other children, which task he so nobly and cheerfully executed until his mother's death at the age of nearly four score. He learned the trade of blacksmith, but never practiced it. In 1850 he was united in marriage to Sara C. Head of Ridgeville by Rev. William Welch and began farming on the Riley Farm, which occupation he continued through his latter years. To this union were born ten sons and two daughters, all of whom survive except two sons who died at the age of three and five years. In 1856 he purchased a farm on Stagg's Run where he remained until 1873. During the Civil War he proved himself a benefactor to friends and neighbors during the "Dark Hours." At the close of the war he took an active part in the establishment of Free Schools. In 1873 he moved his family to Burlington where he conducted a hotel until 1889, in which year he purchased the Pierce Farm at Sulphur and remained there until his death, which came so peacefully and undisturbed that we could hear the great waves dashing on the distant shore and the Master's voice saying, thy task has ended, lay down thy cross and receive a crown, as a reward for a long service in the Christian Faith, having been converted in 1848 at the Bane school house on Beaver Run and immediately became a consistent member of the M. E. Church. His home became a Haven for all Ministers regardless of "Denomination." During his life he became noted for his generosity and benevolence and held many offices of Trust during his long term of nearly three score years and ten of "Christian Service." He was laid to rest in the family lot at Burlington by the side of his wife who preceded him in 1894. His eight sons were the active pall bearers and Rev. Yost, his former pastor, officiating minister. By his son, W S Bane

BANE, George

ELK GARDEN - The papers gave an account last week of the death of our esteemed citizen, George Bane, at his home near Sulphur, September 10, 1913. In his death we lose one of our landmarks. As these patriarchs pass away, we lose connection with the past. Their memories are rich with the experiences of pioneer days. Mr. Bane was a familiar figure in Elk Garden. He frequently came to town on horseback, would greet his acquaintances and sons at Bane Bro.'s store, make some little purchases and soon be on his way back home. The days of the years of his pilgrimage were four score and nine years. We shall miss him. He was a good man, honored and beloved by his noble family and by all who knew him.

BANE, George

We were pained last week when we received a message announcing the death of our lifelong friend, George Bane of Sulphur, which occurred September 10 in the 89th year of his age. We have not set out to write an obituary - that is something we don't feel able to do - but we wish to add our testimony to the good character and worth of this man. He was associated with our earliest recollections. We were brought up a close neighbor to him and lived as such until he moved to Sulphur, about 20 years ago. We have done quite a lot of business with him and in all our transactions we found him strictly honest and honorable in all his transactions, a man that would never misrepresent an article he had to sell, or take advantage of a man's circumstances to drive a good bargain. He was a man who strictly followed the golden rule. From early life he was a consistent member of the Methodist church and lived an exemplary Christian life seven days out of each week. We extend our sympathy to his children and would say to the boys, always try to emulate the virtues of your father.

John H., son of Otho and Martha A. Barnard, died January 12, 1901, at his home near Chestnut Grove, of an abscess resulting from typhoid fever, which he contracted in July. The deceased was in his 22nd year, and just budded into manhood. The funeral sermon was preached by Rev. J. H. Howard, of Bloomington, to one of the largest concourse of friends and relatives ever seen on a like occasion. The community has met with such a loss that it cannot soon recover, as John was one of the very best young men. He was a living example - sober, quiet and industrious at all times. About ten days before his death, when the abscess opened, he told his mother, who was waiting on him at the time, that he was ready to die and requested that his sister, who was absent, meet him in heaven. We would say to the parents, brothers and sisters, weep not as those who have no hope. Dearest Johnny, thou hath left us, And thy loss we deeply feel: But 'tis God who hath bereft us He will all your sorrows heal. Wherefore should we make our moan Now your darling boy is dead; He to early rest is gone; He to Paradise is fled. You can go to him but he Never can return to thee. B.H.

BEAL, Simon J.

State Police today terminated an investigation into the death of Simon J.

V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, attributed the man's death to peritonitis due to a perforated intestine.

BEALL, Henry Tomlinson

H.T. Beall Dies in Nebraska ~ Was An Heir to An Estate and Was for Years Thought Dead. There are not many persons of Allegany and Garrett counties who remember Henry Tomlinson Beall, who was many years ago a well known citizen of what is now Garrett county. He died three months ago at Fairfield, Nebraska. He was the youngest son of Judge Isaac Beall, who was the youngest son of Capt. Thomas Beall, of Samuel, the founder or father of our city. The mother of the deceased was Rebecca Tomlinson Beall, one of the three daughters of Jesse Tomlinson. Henry T. Beall was the last surviving grandson of the old proprietor of Fort Cumberland, so called in early times. Mr. Beall was born at or near Cumberland in the year 1825, and was nearly an octogenarian at his death. His parents, about the year 1832, moved to the Little Meadows, now Garrett county, near the residence of the father-in-law, where they lived all the remainder of their lives, and where Henry grew up to manhood. He becamed the owner of a fine estate called "Chimberazo," upon which he resided for a number of years. Shortly after the Civil War he sold his lands and moved down to the Shenandoah Valley, where he remained for several years. His next move was to Nebraska, in its earlies years, where he finished his very quiet life. He was noted for his style of exitstence--almost secluded in his ways of living. His residence was but little known in the latter half of his life. In fact, for a number of years he was supposed to be dead and in law was so treated. A strange incident, this, in his life, the result of his seclusiveness. He had a brother, Samuel Beall, who for many years lived in St. Louis. He was much of the same nature and habits as the other brother. Even his brothers and sisters did not know of his existence or whereabouts. About a dozen years ago he died without children or wife, leaving an estate of about $10,000, but no will. His heirs were hunted up and most of them found, but Henry T. Beall was treated as dead [something seems to be missing here] claiming to be his widow, with two children, appeared in court and obtained the share of the living Henry T. Beall and of the right of the claimants to his share in the estate of Samuel Beall. There was certainly some crooked proceedings, as Henry T. Beall was then living and without a wife. [one more paragraph regarding his penmanship continues]

BEALL, Hilda

BEALL, William R.

Our whole community was shocked yesterday morning by the announcement that Mr. Wiliam R. Beall, one of Coumberland's[sic] most prominent and highly-esteemed citizens, had died, after an illness of little over an hour's duration. Mr. Beall had not been feeling well Monday, but Tuesday morning was much better and decided togo to his place of business. About 8:30 o'clock he ate a hearty breakfast, but shortly afterward he complained of pains and oppression in the breat and abdomen and soon after was seized with violent spasms. His family became alarmed, and in the absence of Dr. Fundenberg, the famiy physician, Dr. Wardlaw McGill was summoned. When the latter arrived he found Mr. Beall sinking rapidly, and despite every effort made to save him, he died within three quarters of an hour after the physician's arrival. The disease which terminated Mr. Beall's life was neuralgia of the heart, from which he had been suffering for some time past . --Cum. News.

Posted December 18 2015 BEAR/BAER, Solomon Killed by the Cars. Mr. Solomon Bear of North Mechanic street, was run over by a shifting train of cars Wednesday at 8:25 and had both legs cut off. About an hour later he died. The old gentleman's mind has been failing for sometime, and during the past few months he has been closely watched. He left the house Wednesday morning unobserved and went to the Queen City hotel. He was seen walking aimlessly about the place but no particular attention was paid him. He started to cross the tracks and in some way caught his foot in one of the switches and he was unable to get out of the way of a yard train, which backed down over his legs severing both of them. He was carried at once into the hotel basement and Dr. Carr was called. Upon examination the doctor saw that amputation would be useless and that death would soon ensue. The doctor hyperderically injected some morphine and did all in his power for the sufferer. As soon as possible he was taken home, where he soon died. Mr. Baer was in his 86th year. He has been in America 50 years, 40 of which has been spent in Cumberland. For several years he kept a store on Mechanic street, near the viaduct, and then moved to his late residence near Mill street. He leaves a wife and two brothers. He has always born the reputation of being an honest upright man and was liked for his quiet unassuming manner. The funeral took place yesterday morning at 10 o'clock.

Related Article for BELL, Monsell Ray, Jr. Terriers Win Death Stay-- But Too Late SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 17 (UP) Two little fox terriers, Wilbur and Dizzy, received a "stay of execution" Tuesday, but the superior court order refusing the cremation requested by their dying master came too late. The 8-year-old dogs lived with Monsell R. Bell, hotel clerk, in his apartment until 10 days ago when Bell fell asleep while smoking a cigar and was fatally burned. Wilbur and Dizzy climbed into the ambulance and went to the hospital with their master, where he died three hours later. Bell's dying request was that his dogs be killed and cremated, and their ashes placed in an urn with his, to be shipped to his home town of Keyser, W. Va., friends said. Tuesday, Superior Judge Timothy J. Fitzpatrick refused the death bed request. "I'm not going to sign such a cruel order," he said. "Those dogs have a right to life and a good home. They will be kept at the pound until a home is found for them." But the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals revealed that authorization for the dogs execution, approved by the public administrator's office, had been filed last week—and Dizzy and Wilbur were "put to sleep" before the judge received the application .

C.R.R. depot saw the boy between 4 and 5 o'clock, and later he was seen walking up the C. & P. R. R. track, near the trestle, at the upper end of Westernport. It is generally believed that he fell from the trestle and probably drowned in the creek, as the water was very deep at the time, the freshet causing a noticeable rise in the stream. After it was re ported that the boy was drowned, Mrs. Greenwaite said she saw something in the stream which appeared like a boy in the water with his hands above the stream. The boy was very bright for a child of his age and the people of Westernport are anxious to know when and where the body will be recovered.

EIGHT CASES PARALYSIS - Three Victims of Infantile Disease in Somerset County Have Died. Infantile Paralysis claimed another young life in this region Sunday. In addition a sudden outburst of the disease at Confluence in this county resulted in an extra ordinary joint meeting of the board of health and the borough council Sunday afternoon. As a result of the session, a rigid quarantine on all children in the borough for the next two weeks was ordered. All little ones are to be kept on the premises of their parents and all churches, Sunday Schools and other assemblages are to be closed until the quarantine is lifted. The little chap, who died is Coleman Karp, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Karp of Barnesboro. He died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning after three days' illness. The child suffered from what is known as ascending paralysis, which begins in the feet and successive limbs until it reaches the vitals.

BIRD, Albert

(abridged) The heavy veil of sorrow entered the hearts of hundreds of friends throughout Llano and adjoining counties on last Friday morning as the sad message was conveyed that Albert Bird was dead, having passed away that morning at 8:30 o'clock after an illness of several weeks duration. Mr. Bird was born in Wilson county on December 22, 1876, the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Bird, who came to this county when Albert was but three years of age. They were among the early settlers and during the pioneer days when deceased was but a lad, they planned and toiled for those better conditions throughout the Hill Country. [This next paragraph is extremely difficult to read: On June 2?, 18??, he was married to Miss Gertrude Scott of Llano. Besides the wife, one daughter Alberta . . next five lines are blacked out] Strong in his convictions, Albert Bird will be missed by those who had known him so long and so well. The funeral service, which was held at the Six Mile cemetery, was attended by one of the largest assemblages of relatives and friends ever witnessed in this county. It was conducted by Rev. T. O. Rorie, Jr., who in his address paid tribute to the man for his loyalty and convictions. Immediately after the service, interment was made under the direction of Miles Buttery, local undertaker, while the pall bearers were Clyde Buttery, Albert Ricketson, Milton Ricketson, Elmon Stewart, J. D. Slator and Holmes Moss. The grief stricken wife, daughter and other relatives have the profound sympathy of all friends in their dark hour of sorrow, yet may comfort be theirs as they reflect upon the assurance that the loved one is forever free from the toils and cares of this life, and while the body rests in peace, the soul awaits their coming in the great beyond.

BIRD, Alexander

dob May 21, 1833; Addison, Somerset County, Pennsylvania, USA Death: Apr. 11, 1908, Clinton, DeWitt County, Illinois, USA About six o'clock when Mrs. Roy Brittin went into the kitchen at her home, she found Alexander Bird lying on the floor dead. The neighbors were notified and a doctor called who said death had been about six hours before. Mr. Bird lived in the southwest part of Clinton; about two months ago he fell and injured his hip. He became able to go about his home and most of the time to his bed. Tuesday of last week he was able to ride to the polls to vote and seemed to be enjoying life. Friday he was more thoughtful than usual, and had little to say. About seven o'clock he retired and was not seen again alive. About 10:30 when Mr. Brittin returned home he heard Mr. Bird walking in his room, but thought nothing of it, as he often heard him up during the night. The doctors said he had been dead about six hours. It is thought that soon after Mr. Brittin retired he began preparing to take his life. He had secured a razor he used when a young man, but had not used it for several years., and went to the kitchen where he took the butcher knife from a drawer. He sat in a chair beside a table and laid his crutches on the table. With the razor he had made two small cuts on his neck, and one about seven inches long across his throat. When he was found the razor was on the table, and he was lying on the floor. He left no letter explaining why he had decided to end his life, but it is thought he had become despondent over his condition and resolved to end it all. Alexander Bird was born in Pennsylvania, May 21, 1833, and went to Ohio in 1855. June 4, 1857, he was married to Elvira Roby. They came to Illinois in near 1869, and lived in Moultrie county a few months. They then came to De Witt county and lived in Harp township two years. They then moved to Nixon (?) township where they later bought 120 acres of land, which they occupied until five years ago when they bought a home in Clinton, and moved here. August 21 Mrs. Bird passed away, but Mr. Bird had continued Clinton as his home, having some family live in his house with whom he boarded. After he was crippled by the fall his son, A. J. Bird was with him over a month but never heard him intimate that he would take his life, and no one else had. Deceased was a faithful member of the Baptist church, and a regular attendant at church when able to go. Politically he was a Democrat, and was much interested in his party's success. He was a good man in every way. He is survived by nine of his eleven children as follows: W. F. and G. W. Bird of Greely, Col.; Derreck of Lany; A. J. of Weldon; J. M. of Albany, Mo.; J. H. of Birkbeck; Taylor of Decatur; Mrs. J. G. Myers and Mrs. E. J. Bennett of Creek township. The remains were taken to Weldon Tuesday where the funeral was held in the church at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. G. W. Ballinger, of Tremont, Ill. Burial in Woodlawn cemetery.

This estimable lady has lived a long, happy, useful life, and it cannot be said of many that they were members of the church in good standing for 56 years. She was always delighted to have her pastor come in at any time and visit and talk about the work of the church, and this pleasure was accentuated since she became a "shut in". She has gone to a well-earned rest, and the "News" recognizing this, extends its heartfelt sympathy with the family at the same time enjoying with the bereaved a similar hope of eternal peace and rest after passing over the waters and through the valley of the shadow.

BIRD, Rev. Dr. Andrew Reid

The Rev. Dr. Andrew Reid Bird, 79, pastor of the Church of the Pilgrims at 22nd and P sts. nw, for 45 years, died yeterday at George Washington University Hospital. The Presbyterian minister who once said, "If I had a hundred lives to live, I'd want to spend all of them in the ministry," retired in 1955. As an undergraduate at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Bird had favored law for his career, but by his senior year had changed his mind and went instead to Union Theological Seminary in Richmond. Soon after Dr. Bird came to Washington in 1910 he conducted a campaign for Presbyterian churches of the South to present a church to the National's Capital that would be a place of worship for visitors as well as Washingtonians. The General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church designated the Church of the Pilgrims as a representative church for the denomination in Washington. The names of the contributing churches are recorded on the pews of the sanctuary. His crusade for "an earnest Christian atmosphere" in Washington did not stop with construction of the church. He was one of the founders of the Washington Federation of Churches (now the Council of Churches, National Capital Area). With a group of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish leaders, he also helped organize the Committee on Religious Life in the Nation's Capital. Mr. Bird is survived by his wife Lisette M.; two sons, the Rev. Dr. Andrew R. Bird, Jr., Huntington, W. Va., and Walter, of Washington; a daughter, Imogen Preston, Los Altos, Calif; 10 grandchildren, and a brother.

BIRD, Samuel

The sad news reached the city late yesterday afternoon that Samuel Bird, one of the best known railroad men of the city, had been killed at Bodus, Mich., while on his way home after a trip to Benton Harbor over the Big Four road. Bird was employed as brakeman on the local running between Elkhart and Benton Harbor, and with Conductor Q. L. Pindle and a new brakeman from Wabash, left yesterday morning on the regular daily trip. While switching some cars at Bodus, Bird went between the car at the front end of the train and the last of two cars that had been switched out on the main track in order to straight on the automatic couples, when another cut of cars was shoved down on the track, and before it was realized that Bird was between the drawheads, the cut struck the other cut and pinned Bird between the cars. Conductor Pindle tried to attract Bird's attention before the cars went together, but was unable to make him hear. Bird was horribly mangled about the hips but retained consciousness up to the time of his death and appeared to suffer no pain. The story of the accident was immediately telegraphed to this city and his wife was notified. She left on the 4:40 train and arrived at Bodus in time to see her husband and talk to him before he died. A special train was made up and on this his body was brought to this city in charge of Mrs. Bird and some railroad friends of the dead man. Today Mrs. Bird is prostrated from the shock. Mr. Bird was born in Elkhart 38 years ago, and has lived here all is life. He commenced railroading on the Lake Shore about nine years ago and went to the Big Four about three years later. For several years past he has lived with his wife and one daughter, Madge, on East Lexington Ave. He leaves four brothers and two sisters: Chester and Robert of Elkhart, Leon of St. Louis, Schuyler of Dowagiac, Mrs. Ida McCue of Chicago, and Mrs. Percy Coles of this city.

BIRD, Stephen

Stephen Bird, an old resident of Cairo and Bird's Point, Mo., died at St. Mary's Infirmary this morning after a brief illness due to the infirmities of old age. The deceased was 75 years old. He was brought over from Bird's Point last Monday and placed in the hospital. Mr. Bird was born in Louisiana in 1837. He came to Bird's Point with his parents when he was a boy and has practically resided there ever since. His father conducted a sawmill at Bird's Point and during the war it was removed to where Bird's Mill is now, and the deceased had charge of it ever since the death of his father. His uncle, William Bird, was one of the early settlers at Bird's Point and who afterwards settled at Cairo. Although the deceased kept his residence in Cairo, he spent most of his time in Missouri, where his sawmill interests and farm are located. He was educated by private tutors, as was the common practice of families of means at the time. He did not enlist in the war, although the soldiers were encamped at Bird's Point. He belonged to no lodge or church. The deceased is survived by his wife and two sons, Abraham, of Bird's Hill, and City Attorney Hunter Bird, of this city. He also has a brother, Andrew Bird, residing in Tampa Fla., besides two sisters, Mrs. Clara Edwards, of Union City, Tenn., and Mrs. Nannie Hunter, of Marion, Ky. The relatives have been notified of his death and are expected to arrive and attend the funeral.

BIRD, Thomas

Thomas Bird, who has been a well known resident of Elkhart since 1873, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. George B. "Mack" Dotson, at No. 129 1/2 North Main street, at 9:30 p.m. Friday, from the infirmities of old age. Mr. Bird was born in Pennsylvania on December 18, 1815, and came to Indiana in 1853. For many years he was a farmer, but after coming to Elkhart gained a livelihood by teaming, until failing health made it impossible for him to follow the vocation. His wife, Mary Ann Bird, died eleven years ago last September, since which event Mr. Bird had lived with his children, coming to Mrs. Dotson's a month ago, at which time he was injured in a fall, and had not been able to get out since. He was of a peculiarly rugged constitution, was a constable at one time for Osolo township, and always took an active part in politics, being an uncompromising republican. He is survived by two sons, John and Ephraim Bird, both of this city, and five daughters, Mrs. John Daly of Elkhart, Mrs. B.F. Oaks of Cleveland township, Mrs. George McArthur (formerly Mrs. Eli Lusher) of St. Louis, Mrs. G.B. Dotson and Mrs. Warren Rowley of Elkhart. Two brothers, Noah and John, and one sister, Mrs. Roberts, are living in Pennsylvania. Mr. Bird was one of a family of 15 brothers and sisters, of which all preceded him in death except those mentioned above. He was the father of twelve children, seven of whom are living. The deceased had been a member of the United Brethren church for thirty years and embraced the christian religion when a young man. Funeral services will be held Monday, friends to meet at the home of Mrs. Dotson at 2 p.m. and proceed to the U.B. church on Baldwin street where Rev. D.S. Cleaver will preach the sermon at 2:30.

BIRD, Thomas J.

Thomas J. Bird died at 10 a.m. Friday at his home on Myers Street in his 52nd year. The death of Mr. Bird removes from this community one if its most prominent businessmen. Up to the time that he was taken ill, probably no man in town would have been considered more secure of a long lease of life than he, of a sturdy constitution, living a clean and temperate life, with his ambitions centered on his family and business, it seems indeed hard to be thus taken away when to live meant so much to him. From the first day of his illness nearly three weeks ago, when pneumonia developed, he was considered a desperately sick man, a Pittsburgh nurse was secured, and almost daily consultations by leading physicians were held over him. The pneumonia was broken up, then followed the measles, and last of all Bright's disease, which caused his death. The funeral services were held in the Methodist Episcopal Church at 10 o'clock Monday morning, and were the largest attended of any ever held in this town. His pastor, Brother Miller of Salisbury, preached the sermon from the text, "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints," found in Psalm 116, verse 15. He read Psalm 23 and spoke words of great comfort and strength and hope to the 500 or 600 people who were there. In these services, Brother Travis assisted and very feelingly read the poem, "At Rest." The entire community extends to the bereaved friends its heartiest and sincerest sympathy in this hour of affliction. The interment was in Jersey Cemetery and was made according to the rites of the Knights of the Maccabees. He was the son of Noah and Mary Bird.

BIRD, W. Scott

W. Scott Bird died at his home in Harnedsville on Thursday, March 18, just four days before his 87th birthday anniversary. He was born March 22, 1861, the son of Noah and Mary (Rush) Bird. Mr. Bird was an active church worker and, up until the time of his death, was Sunday school superintendent and sang in the choir. A few years ago, the State Sunday School Association awarded him a pin in recognition of 50 consecutive years of service. His wife p receded him in death nearly 10 years ago. He is survived by two foster children, Mrs. Richard Chapple and Lemon Smith of Johnstown, and by one sister, Mrs. Jennie Dunmyer, Harnedsville.

BIRD, Winfield A. Scott

Bird Brothers, C.E. and C.M., received newspaper clippings this week giving a report of the death of their distinguished uncle, Hon. Winfield A. Scott Bird, in Stormount Hospital, Topeka, Kansas, as the result of ptomaine poisoning. His first wife having died many years ago, Mr. Bird married on Feb. 4 last a Topeka widow, and while on a wedding tour in Florida with his bride, became ill from ptomaine poisoning which terminated fatally after returning to Topeka. W.A.S. Bird was born Aug. 31, 1855, in Addison Township, this county, near St. Paul's church. He received very little schooling when he was a boy. He worked from 15 to 18 hours a day on his father's farm and sawmill until he was grown up, when he attended a term or two of normal school in Meyersdale and taught several terms of country school. In 1878, at the age of 23, with barely enough money to pay his railroad fare, he went to Richardson County, Nebraska, and worked as a farm hand in summer and taught school in winter until he obtained work as a clerk in a law office in Falls City, studied law, and in 1880 was admitted to the Richardson County bar. Immediately after his admission to practice, he decided to try his fortune in Kansas and opened an office in Topeka. He served as county attorney eight years and was regarded as an expert on municipal questions. He was elected to the Kansas House of Representatives from Shawnee County in 1904 and was re-elected in 1906. He was author of the "red can law" which requires all dealers in gasoline to deliver the product in red cans labeled "Dangerous." He also introduced and obtained passage of the pure food law, and served in the 1915 and 1917 sessions. Few men in Kansas were better known in lodge circles. He belonged to all the Masonic bodies, was past Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, Past Exalted Ruler of the Elks Lodge, Past Grand of the IOOF Lodge and Past Great Sachem in the Improved Order of Red Men. He was a prominent member of the Topeka Bar Association and had been a member of the Kansas State Bar Association since it was organized. In March 1883, Mr. Bird married Miss Mary Dodge of Hiawatha, Kansas. She died a few years ago. No children were born to them. He was married in Kansas City, February 4 of this year to Mrs. Ursula M. Jones of Topeka, who survives him. Mr. Bird is survived by one brother, W.A. Bird of Listonburg, and one sister, Mrs. W.C. Maple, Berlin, Ohio.
