CACKLEY, Andrew M.

Andrew M. Cackley was born in Pocahontas County, W. Va., May 28, 1849, and died in Roanoke, Va., April 28, 1913. When he was a lad, his father moved to Greenbrier county, W. Va., and there he grew to manhood. He was converted at an early age and so clear was his conversion that people who were present said that he would be a preacher. Not long after that happy event God called him into ministry. He was licensed to preach by the late Rev. W. G. Coe, then presiding elder of the Lewisburg District. He united with the Baltimore Conference in the year 1875. He was happily married to Miss Annie Moomau, of Petersburg, W. Va., who preceded him to the heavenly home in the year 1901. Dr. Cackley was one of the clearest expounders of the distinctive doctrines of Methodism the Conference has ever had. He was a sufferer for many years with what he thought was stomach trouble, but not until after his return from the late conference that he was slowly being eaten up by a malignant cancer. The end came while surrounded by his brethren of the ministry whom he loved, and the members of his household. Brief services was held at the parsonage in Roanoke and his remains taken to Falls Church, Va., where he desired to be buried by the sleeping dust of his wife and child. At the home in Roanoke, the services were conducted by Rev. G. D. White, presiding elder, as sisted by Revs. J. Howard Wells and S. T. Senter, in the presence of the other ministers of the town and a large company of sorrowing friends. At Falls Church, his friend and former presiding elder, Rev. W. H. Woolf, conducted the service, assisted by Revs. W. D. Keene, J. H. Dulaney, B. F. Ball, H. L. Hout, J. H. Schooly, D. H.

CADDEN, James H.

A FATAL ACCIDENT. James H Cadden of Barton Is Thrown From a Buggy and Killed Barton, Md., July 9, [Special]— Mr James H. Cadden and John Patton started yesterday morning in a buggy to drive to Keyser. About a mile below Piedmont there is a large rock on the side of the road on which the sun throws the shadow of some trees that were standing near. As the wind blew the shadow moved to and fro. At this shadow the horse shyed and jumped on the bank on the opposite side of the road, then with a sudden jerk jumped back again, throwing both gentlemen out of the buggy. Mr Cadden fell on the back of his head and lay unconscious in the road. Mr. Patton was not hurt by the fall. Mr. Cadden was conveyed to the residence of Mrs. Dorsey and Mr. Patton started for Piedmont to secure medical aid. Dr. Shuey was summoned and after examining the body, found that the skull was crushed and that the pulse was very weak. When Father Wider arrived, half an hour later, Mr. Cadden was breathing his last. Mr. Cadden was born in Barton in 1867 and is therefore, 27 years old. He dug coal until a few years ago, when he embarked in the merchandising business, and was regarded in our community as an honest, industrious and upright young man. He was very popular with all classes. Nothing has occurred in our community for a long time that affected our people so much as this horrible death, Everybody was horrified when the news came that James H. Cadden had been killed, and here e and there on the streets two or three could be seen speaking in whispers of the sad accident. Mr. Cadden leaves a wife, who i s nearly frantic with grief and two infant daughters. Mrs. Cadden has the sympathies of the entire community and kind friends are doing all in their power to console her. When and where Mr. Cadden will he buried is not known at this time, but most probably in the Catholic cemetery of this place on Tuesday Cumberland Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Monday, July 9, 1898 - pg 9, col 1

CALER, George W.

George W. Caler, about 80, was burned to death Friday when fire swept his six-room home at Deal. Pa., southeast of Meyersdale, Pa. Meyersdale firemen were called but the building was a mass of flames when they arrived about 6:30 a. m. Firemen recovered the body at 11 a. m. in the basement of the building, directly under the kitchen. The firemen stated it appeared that Mr. Caler was trying to start a fire with kerosene and that the fumes exploded when he ignited firewood.

"At a meeting of St. Patrick's T. A. B. Society, of Westernport, Md., held on Sunday, July 5, 1903, the following resolutions were adopted. Whereas, This society has heard with feelings of the deepest regret of the death of our late fellow member Capt. A. A. Carney of Wheeling, W. Va., who was a charter member and who, for thirty-four years used his best efforts and influence for its welfare and always had its best interest at heart and labored faithfully for the cause of temperence[sic]. His gentlemanly affable bearing, his courteous manner and his candid, just and honorable conduct commanded the respect and esteem in which he was held and endeared him to all his fellow members. His life was that of the perfect Catholic gentleman, believing in and better still, living up to the precepts of our Holy Faith. The loss his family has sustained we cannot fully appreciate, but we can well imagine that one of the joys of the hereafter to which they look forward will be a reunion with the loving husband and devoted father. That these resolutions be spread upon our minutes, be published in The Piedmont Herald and a copy be sent to his family."

CARVEY, Kenneth Harold Jr.

KEYSER, W.Va. — Ken Carvey, 69, of Keyser, died on Thursday, April 14, 2011, at his residence. Ken Carvey was born Harold Kenneth Carvey Jr. on Sept. 7, 1941, in Keyser, the second of four children and the only son of Harold Sr. and Kathryn (Wolverton) Carvey. Raised in a family of educators, Ken pursued a career in education, attaining undergraduate degrees in math and social studies from West Virginia State University and a Masters in Education administration from West Virginia College of Graduate Studies, with a focus on curriculum and management. His long career began teaching the fourth grade class at Belle Elementary and spanned 30 years in the Kanawha County School System, including terms as the assistant principal of Lincoln and Dupont Junior High Schools. From 1982 until his retirement in 1999, Ken was the principal of Cedar Grove Community School. In the years following his retirement, Ken ran a successful sporting goods business that provided sports apparel to West Virginia colleges, high schools and youth leagues. Ken was a sports enthusiast throughout his life, a dedicated hunter and skilled handicapper whose Kentucky Derby picks will be sorely missed. He was inducted into the Keyser High School Hall of Fame as a member of the 1956 West Virginia Class A state championship football team. In his spare time, Ken was an avid reader and his home was filled with books that he would generously discuss and loan to anyone that shared his interest. A devoted father, a loving brother and a ferocious advocate for all that he loved, Ken is survived by his daughter, Kristan and her husband Bruce; his sisters, Ellen, Kathryn and Carolyn; his dear friend and brother, John Barger; and nieces, nephews and cousins too numerous to mention, all of whom will miss his powerful personality and mischievous sense of humor. Ken passed following a long illness that never overcame his amazing will. One of his greatest desires was to be well enough to visit all the churches of the people that were praying for him. Friends will be received at the Markwood Funeral Home, Keyser, on Sunday, April 17, 2011. Funeral services will be conducted at the funeral home on Monday, April 18, 2011, with the Rev.

CASE, Mrs. Matilda Tannehill

On Tuesday, January 23, Mrs. Matilda Tannehill Case, of Ursina, died after a comparatively short illness. She had been declining for several months, but no uneasiness was felt by the family or friends until the Friday before her death, when her illness took a sudden turn for the worse and her family and friends realized that the end was near. Mrs. Case was aged 72 years, 9 months and 1 day, being born in Lower Turkeyfoot township April 22, 1839. She was a daughter of the late Zachariah Tannehill, Sr., and Mary Ann (Lanning) Tannehill, her ancestors on both sides being members of the colonists from New Jersey that settled near the Jersey church before the American Revolution. Her maternal great-grandmother was a charter member of the Jersey Baptist church, the first of that denomination to be organized west of the Alleghenies. She was married to A.J. Case of Lower Turkeyfoot township on February 9, 1862, so had she lived to that date this year she would have been married 50 years. In 1863 herself and husband moved to Fayette county where they lived until about six years ago, when they moved back to the Case farm near Fort Hill, and resided there until 1909, when they purchased a home in Ursina, where they resided until her death. She was a member of the Presbyterian church at Connellsville but since coming to Ursina she worshiped in the Jersey Baptist church. A pathetic incident connected with the estimable lady's death was that her brother, Zachariah Tannehill of Draketown, was stricken with paralysis about the same time, and is now in a very precarious condition. Besides her husband, Mrs. Case is survived by the following children: Ralston, of Peoria, Ill.; Miss Lizzie R. Case, at home; and George W., of Fort Hill. Besides these, she is survived by two brothers, Zachariah, referred to above, and Victor, of Hillsborough, Ohio, and one sister, Mrs. Henry Whipkey, of Scullton. On Friday afternoon, January 12, services were held at the residence in Ursina, at which Rev. L.P. Glass, Baptist minister of the Confluence congregation officiated and preached a very affecting sermon. On Saturday morning the remains were taken to Connellsville for interment. The interment took place in Hill Grove cemetery, the services being conducted by Rev. J.L. Proedfit of the Presbyterian church of that place, of which congregation she was a member. The pallbearers were John A. Armstrong, Samuel Goodman, J.C. Lydic, George A. Campbell, J.W. Stouffer, and C.H. Kennell. Posted June 15, 201 7

CATON, Simon

Bureau of the Evening Times. Frostburg, Md., March 1 - Simon Caton, farmer, living a short distance west of Frostburg, aged 31 years, died Friday, March 1st, of black diphtheria. Three weeks before, an infant son died. Last summer his barn was burned, inflicting a loss of farm implements, and two fine horses, and about the same time his father died. All these misfortunes have reduced the widow and children of Simon Caton to want. She lives in a thinly settled section of the county the inhabitants of which are unable to extend much aid, so the charitably inclined institutions and people of Frostburg should unite in extending assistance in an instance where it is needed and deserved, and do so quickly.

CHRISTNER, Myrtle

MEYERSDALE, Oct. 11 - With a 38-calibre revolver clutched in her hands, the lifeless body of Miss Myrtle Christner, 18, was found Saturday morning by a niece, at the home of James E. Leckemby of Sherman street, where Miss Christner was a housekeeper. Coroner William J. Logue returned a verdict of suicide. Miss Christner apparently was in excellent spirits, Miss Gertrude Lintz told authorities. Miss Lintz, who resides in another apartment in the same building, said that Miss Christner talked to her Saturday morning after the former had completed her daily chores. The girl, who had been the housekeeper for Mr. Leckemby since the death of his wife about three months ago, fired two shots, authorities said, from an automatic revolver. One of the bullets went through the floor, but Mr. Leckemby and Miss Lintz, both of whom said they were in the building, heard no shots. The other bullet penetrated her heart. Miss Christner's niece went to her aunt's room and found the body. One of Miss Christner's brothers was puzzled on acount of two shots being fired, but following a second investigation last night by C. C. Jacob, Somerset county detective, the brother was convinced that his sister had ended her own life. No motive was assigned for the suicide. She was a daughter of Urias J. Christner and the late Savilla (Coleman) Christner, former residents of Meyersdale. Mr. Christner now resides at Finzel, Md. Mrs. Christner died several years ago in a Pittsburgh hospital. Besides the father, the following brothers and sisters survive: Mrs. Alvin Copland, Orlando R. and Bud Christner of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Samuel Wright of Salisbury; Mrs. Lloyd Forrest, Stewart, Carl and Paul Christner of Meyersdale, and Harry Christner, who resides with his father on the farm on R.

Lorenz, pastor of the Main Street Brethren Church, of which Miss Christner was a member, will be in charge. Interment will be in Union Cemetery.

CLARK, Edward

B&O Fireman Edward Clark, running on west bound passenger train 55, was seriously injured Sunday afternoon at Rawlings Station, when in the act of observing the target signal, he was hit in the face by a loose car door on a train 96 going east. Clark was struck a fearful blow in the face, hurling him across the cab, the back of his head striking the reverse bar of engine No 2141, his body almost knocking Engineer Sinclair from his seat. The train was stopped, and the injured fireman, bleeding profusely, was lifted out and taken to the baggage car, in a semi-conscious condition. Attention was given him by the crew with such means at hand, and the train was hurried to Keyser and Mr. Clark removed to the Hoffman Hospital. Mr. Clark was about 26 years of age, married and lived at the corner of First St and Grand Ave, Cumberland. He was a native of Preston Co, W. Va., his family living near Terra Alta. He was well known among trainmen on the Third division by the soubriquet of "Happy." The injured man showed wonderful fortitude, and nerve and soon recovered consciousness, and conversed with his wife, who went to his bedside in the hospital Sunday night. The door after striking Clark a moment later, was torn off by the steel baggage coach of 55's train. Mr. Clark died of his injuries Tuesday morning and his body was taken to Cumberland that forenoon where he was buried Friday morning. His wife and sister were with him until the end came Tuesday morning.

CLARK, Mrs. Ellen M. Stover

One of the Oldest School Teachers in County, Dead- STRICKEN ON THE STREET - While Returning Home from Making a call, Mrs. Ellen M Clark Suddenly Sank to the Pavement and Died Few Moments Later No death has occurred in this city in many years that so shocked the community as did the sudden passing away last night of Mrs. Ellen M Clark, one of the oldest and best beloved teachers in the city and county. Mrs. Clark had been spending the day at the home of her nephew, Mr. L Clark Madore, on Bedford street. While there she appeared in the best of spirits and seemed to be in her usual health. She left the residence of her nephew just as the clock in the tower of the German Lutheran Church was 'striking' the hour of nine. Her "good night" and "Happy New Year" parting salutation as she started down Bedford street were the last words she uttered on earth. When she arrived in front of the residence of Mr. David Zieler, about a hundred yards from the Madore house, she fell to the pavement. Passersby saw her fall and ran to her assistance and seeing she was ill they called Dr. C. H. Brace, who[se] residence is just across the street. Dr Brace responded at once and had Mrs. Clark carried to his office, where she expired in a few moments. Dr. Brace stated that Mrs. Clark's death was caused by a stroke of apoplexy. Mrs. Clark was seventy-four years old and was the widow of Oliver Clark, who died many years ago and was at the time of his death a prominent merchant of this city. He was a brother of the late A Jackson Clark, for many years agent of the American Coal Company at Lonaconing. Mrs. Clark was before her marriage a Miss Stover and was born in this city. She was a cultivated woman and had spent the most of her life in school teaching and up until five years ago when she was put upon the retired list, taught the infant department of Union Street public school. Before the days of public schools, Mrs. Clark had a private school. A remarkable thing in the life of this noble is that she had taught three generation of the citizens of Cumberland. Men and women who have passed the meridian of life were pupils of her private school. The second generation of her pupils include those she taught in the early days of the public school. These are now the men and women of the city between the ages of twenty and twenty-five are in the third generation of her pupils. Mrs. Clark is survived by two sons and one sister, Mr. Walter B Clark, the well known hotel man of this city and Mrs.[sic] Charles M Clark of Braddock, PA., her sister, Mrs. Henriette Krouse (actually Rosina Stover Crouse) resides in Reading, PA. She was a lifelong and devoted member of St Paul's English Lutheran Church and a member of the Eastern Star, Mc Kinley Chapter. The remains of Mrs. Clark were removed by Undertaker Stein to the Inn Hotel, owned by Mr. Walter B Clark. The deceased was very well known and just as well beloved as she was known. Her life was spent in trying to do good and the hundreds of young people growing into manhood and womanhood will cherish her name as long as [they] live. The funeral of Mrs. Clark will take place Thursday morning at 9:30 o'clock with services in St Paul's Lutheran church. Interment will be made in Rose Hill Cemetery. Find A Grave Memorial# 157175208

CLISTER, Miss Elsie M.

(child) Markleysburg, Aug. 9 - Elsie M. Clister, youngest child of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clister, died Saturday morning, July 30, 1904, at 5 o'clock. Death was caused by dropsy from which Elsie had suffered a year or more without the physicians being able to give her permanent relief. At times she would seem so well and her body would be so little swollen that we hoped she might outgrow her dreaded affliction, but just when our hopes would be highest, she would again have another serious attack, each one making her weaker for the one to follow. In April she had a severe attack and lay very low for five weeks. All hopes of her recovery had been given up, but in time she became so strong seemingly that our hopes were renewed, so that, when she was taken worse on Monday evening, July 25, we hoped that she would again soon recover, but it was not God's will. She was perfectly conscious to the last, knowing everyone, but was so weak she didn't dare to talk. Her stay on earth had been so brief, only two years, nine months and twelve days, yet how dearly we had learned to love her, and oh, how much we miss her. The parents, two brothers, Chester and Sanford, and three sisters, Eva, Stella and Florence, are left to mourn and miss Elsie and await that gathering of the faithful when we all hope to meet our loved one again. Funeral services were conducted at the home by Rev. Ickes on Sunday, July 31, at 2 o'clock. The Markleysburg choir sang Elsie's favorite hymns, "Gathering (unreadable)" "Beckoning Hands" and "We Are Going Down the Valley." The pall bearers were Minnie Heinemor, Mamie McCaffrey, Floe Thomas and Violet Rosenberger. Interment in Sansom Chapel cemetery.

CLISTER, William H

. William H. Clister, one of the outstanding citizens of Fayette County, aged 76 years, died suddenly at 12:30 o'clock Thursday, February 29, 1940 at his home three-fourths of a mile from Flatrock Road on the Flatrock-Markleysburg Road. Services will be held tomorrow afternoon. Mr. Clister was born on the farm on which he died and until the very morning of his death had been active in the management and working of the 200 acres recognized as among the finest farming land in half a dozen counties. A few days ago he had completed arrangements for building a new fence on the property near the home. Mr. Clister had suffered several strokes during the past 14 years, he had rapidly recovered his strength and was apparently in better than ordinary health this week when he was so suddenly stricken. He had been at work on the farm during the morning. Returning to the home, he complained of pressure on the chest and in a few minutes had passed away. Death is believed to have been caused by an embolism. The nucleus of the Clister farm was literally carved out of the mountain fastresses by Mr. Clister's father, who years ago bought the property and cleared it. At that time there was not even a cow path, much less a road, leading to the farm. The elder Mr. Clister cleared the land and developed an outstanding piece of farm land which was conveyed to the son who continued the agricultural efforts, adding to the property until the present approximate 200 acres. William H. Clister was active in the affairs of the church, bring[sic] a member of the Methodist denomination. A number of years ago, he was one of the moving spirits which built the Union church near the Clister home, and throughout his life took an active interest in maintaining the church property in which members of the great Faiths worship together. He was active in community affairs also. A man of sterling character, of pronounced convictions and of great sympathetic understanding, he endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact. Frequently, Mr. Clister, reminiscing with his friends, would tell of hearing the first battle of Bull Run of the Civil war. As a boy of tender age, he did not see the battle, but could hear the firing and feel the reverberations. His descriptions were always vivid. Mr. Clister was born on July 14, 1864. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Sophia Sproul Clister, now past 61 years of age, and four children, Mrs. Eva Williams of Grantsville R.D.; Miss Estella Clister, at home; Mrs. Florence Williams of Grantsville R.D; and C. H. Clister, of 93 Walnut Street, Uniontown. Elsie Clister died in infancy, and Sanford G. died a few years ago. Also surviving are 13 grandchildren and four great-grandchildren. Funeral services will be held at the home at 3 P.M. Sunday afternoon with Rev. Mr. Crow officiating. Burial will be in the Addison Cemetery. Pallbearers will be nephews of Mr. Clister.

CLUPP, Anthony

UNDER FALL OF COAL Anthony Clupp of the “Pine Hill” Mine Meets a Most Horrible Death While at work at the George’s Creek Coal and Iron Company of Lonaconing yesterday morning, Mr. Anthony Clupp, a veteran miner, met a most horrible death, as was briefly told in yesterday’s Times. He was engaged in wedging a ledge of coal when a premature fall of roof coal fell and buried him and nearly filled the entire room. As soon as the other men at work discovered the accident, they at once began to remove the debris, but it was several hours before the body was unearthed, and then only to be a mass of mangled remains. Mr. Clupp was a miner of great experience, sixty-two years of age; he has lived in Lonaconing about thirty years and was greatly respected. He leaves a family of a wife, three daughters and five sons. The funeral took place this afternoon.

COBAUGH, Lewis Daniel

MEYERSDALE March 4 — Lewis Daniel Cobaugh, youngest son of the late Charles P. Cobaugh, the veteran Baltimore & Ohio engineer, and Rebella Parks Cobaugh, was almost instantly killed about noon yesterday at the Western Maryland railroad coaling station at Rockwood. The cable on the hoist used in lifting the coal to the chutes parted, and a bucket containing a ton or more of coal descended, and pinned the unfortunate man between the timbers and the bucket, crushing him in a horrible manner. The remains were taken to a local undertaking establishment and prepared for burial, and later were taken to the home of his mother. The deceased is survived by his aged mother, who for the past year or more has been rendered almost helpless by reason of a stroke of apoplexy. His widow, who was Miss Ella Williams, and two children, Grace and Annabel, age six and three years respectively, survive. He is also survived by one brother and three sisters as follows: George P. Cobaugh of Johnstown; Mrs. W. A. Shoemaker, of Meyersdale; and Mrs. William Millhouse and Mrs. George E. Beatty, both of Rockwood. About 22 years ago the father of the deceased, the old engineer, "Dad" Cobaugh, as he was so familiarly known, was blown up in a locomotive explosion, and the injuries received resulted in his death. Prior to death of the father, the oldest son, William, while making a coupling in the Rockwood yards, had his head crushed by projecting rails on two loaded Hot cars, dying in a few w eeks after that accident. Next, Charles, a younger son, while working in the B. & O. shops at Connellsville, was stricken with malignant typhoid fever, expiring in a few weeks. A few years ago, another son, a flagman on the B & O, was pinioned by a sideswipe wreck in his caboose, directly alongside of a demolished engine, and was scalded to death.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT WASHINGTON MINE No. 5 ~ Three Men Killed and Thirteen Others Injured by Collision on Incline Early This Morning - Two of Latter May Die ~ MEN WERE GOING UP PLANE TO WORK Special to the Times ~ Westernport, Md., Jan. 25 - A dreadful accident occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning at Washington Mine No. 5 of the Piedmont and George's Creek Coal Co., near Franklin, Md., of which Mr. M. P. Fahey is superintendent, in which three men were killed instantly and thirteen others were badly, and one or two perhaps fatally injured. The Killed Jos. Blantt , Italian laborer William Hamilton , blacksmith, of Franklin James Condry , dumpman, of Franklin The Injured Kirk , a brakeman on the mine electric motor, injured in the arm and chest. He resides at Barton and will recover. Edward Kight , carpenter, injured seriously about the head. John and Louis Tucci , Italian laborers. Joseph hurt about the head, Louis in the legs and chest. L. C. Lambert , leg broken; resides at Reb's station, near Westerport. W. H. Smith , weightmaster, shoulder blade broken and injured in the back; resides at Reb's station. James Gowan , laborer, face cut; resides at Barton. George Hamilton , miner, face cut; resides at Franklin. Ed Frazenbaker , roadsman, hurt about arm; resides at Westernport. Thomas Murphy , fireman, eyes and back injured. Escaped Injury Earnest Phillips and Clarence McAllister , both of Franklin, escaped injury. Murphy was on the descending loaded cars; the others were all on the ascending empties. None of the cars were thrown from the track by collision. How it Happened As stated, the accident happened on the incline plane during the first trip of the day. The ascending cars are always empty and they meet the descending loads at an automatic switch half way up the incline. Here, of course, if the switch is properly set, they pass each other, keep to the track to the right and there is seldom any difficulty in passing. William Stowell , a lad sixteen or seventeen years old, is charged with setting the switch, and it is thought that in some way he neglected to perform his duty properly and hence the trips collided while going at a high speed. The men were all riding up the incline on their way to work in or about the mines. Condry and Blantt were killed instantly. Hamilton died at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Father Quinn, of Barton, and Scarpatti, of Morantown, were quickly on the scene. Store Turned Into Hospital The injured in the mine accident have all been taken to Gannon's store at Franklin, which has been turned into a temporary hospital. All the physicians of Piedmont and Westernport are in attendance. Kight Has Since Died Since the above story was written Mr. Edward Kight has died. Mr. L. C. Lambert and the three Italians who were seriously injured were taken to the Hoffman Hospital at Keyser. Mr. Kight died at 12:20. The others who were injured were taken to their homes, none of whom were seriously injured. Mr. Lambert and the three Italians were reported in a critical condition at 4 o'clock.

In 1870, he married Miss Mary Murray of Pittsburg, and one year later he moved to this city and engaged in the grocery and dry goods business in South Cumberland, and up until the time of his death he had been one of Cumberland's leading merchants in that part of the city. In 1882 he was elected to the city council and served two years. In 1890 he was elected again, and had he lived until next May he would have served four years as City councilman. His record as a city official was pure and beyond reproach. He performed his duties in an honorable and straight forward manner, and was never known to falter once from the strict line of duty. There have been abler men in the council, but there has never been a more conscientious one than Thomas Connell. His loss will be a great blow to the city as well as to his sorrowing family and in their bereavement they have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community. As a father and husband he was affectionate, gentle and thoughtful. His grief stricken wife is almost inconsolable, while the ten children seem to be utterly disconsolate. The immediate cause of his death was paralysis, but up until a few minutes of his demise his mind was perfectly clear and be talked rationally and beautifully to those around him. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed, but in all probability the obsequies will take place Monday morning from St Patrick's church. CONas Mr. Thomas Connell, of Moscow, died at his home at that place yesterday in his 65th year. Mr. Connell was well known in this city, where he has many friends. The immediate cause of his death was pneumonia. The funeral will take place next Friday, the interment will be in the Barton Catholic Cemetery.

He was an old employee of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad.

COOK, Hearter Alvey

A verdict of accidental death was issued by a coroner's jury in Romney, W.Va., this morning in the case of a 38-year-old Cumberland Celanese worker who was killed in an auto wreck near Slanesville, W.Va., last night. The victim, Hearter Alvey Cook, 20 Roberts Street, Cumberland, died shortly after the accident, as the result of a crushed chest and a broken neck, according to Andrew Russell, acting Hampshire county coroner. According to Russell, Cook was killed when the car he was driving crashed after failing to negotiate an icy curve on West Virginia Route 45, five miles north of Slanesville and 12 miles southeast of Paw Paw, W. Va., about 8:15 p.m. He was alone in the car at the time of the accident. The accident occurred, authorities said, as the local man, apparently traveling at an excessive speed, failed to negotiate a sharp curve which still contained patches of ice. Cook was thrown free, Justice Russell said, as the heavy car used to carry Celanese riders jumped the bank, then hurtled end over end before it was demolished when it struck a tree. The car fell back, almost coming to rest on Cook, who died a few minutes after William and Lyle Wend arrived on the scene, as the wheels of the upturned vehicle were still turning. Sheriff Heber Parsons and State Trooper F. H. Tribett assisted in the investigation of the accident. Mr. Cook, a Celanese engineer, is survived by his widow, Mrs. Goldie F. Williams Cook; a daughter, Ruby, who is employed in Washington; a sister, Miss Blanche Cook, Roberts Street, and two brothers, Charles and Luther Cook, who live in Mineral county, West Virginia. The body will remain in the Hafer Funeral Home until Friday at 2 p.m. when funeral services will be conducted by Rev. Kenneth Harrington, pastor of the Pentecostal Holiness Church. Interment will be the Fort Ashby Cemetery. Posted September17, 2015

COONEY, John T.

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Mr. John Cooney at Blaine, W. Va., the information, to the family being 'carried to them by Mayor George G. Young who received "an inquiry from an undertaker from that place". Mr. Cooney was a son of Mrs. Mary A. Cooney, 55 Thomas street. He was 45 years old and was a native of Cumberland and resided here until after her grew to manhood. Quite a number of years ago he moved to West Virginia and engaged in the coal mining business at Newburg. About a year ago he abandoned the coal business at Newburg and took other employment for a time and several months ago located at Blaine, W. Va., and went to work in the mines. Some weeks ago his health began failing and on last Thursday he consulted a physician at Blaine. The physician found Mr Cooney affected with disease of the heart, prescribed for him and advised him to be very careful, rest and keep quiet. On Saturday he felt very much better and resumed work in the mines Saturday morning. On Sunday morning he became quite ill at his boarding house and in a few hours died. The undertaker, while going through his clothing found a card from Mr Cooney's little girl, mailed in Cumberland a few days before. This prompted the sending of a letter to the mayor of Cumberland which reached here yesterday morning and in a little while the family was notified. Mrs(sic) Margaret Cooney, sister of the deceased and Mr Frank Stein left for Blaine at once and had the body brought here on the Western Maryland train last evening. The remains were taken from the Stein undertaking parlors to the Cooney residence on Thomas Street this morning. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock at St Patrick's church. Mr Cooney leaves a widow who is an invalid in a hospital in Weston, W Va and three children: two of the children, Helen and John, ages 10 and 7 respectively are at a school in Wheeling. The youngest child, Margaret, aged 5, makes her home with her grandmother here. Mr Cooney is survived also by his mother and two sisters. Three brothers of the deceased, Edward J, Bernard and William, died here several years ago. Evening Times;Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Tuesday, March 19, 1912, pg 2, col 4

COOPER, Miss Carolyn Ethyl

Carolyn E. Cooper went home with the Lord on January 15, 2021 at the age of 78. She was the daughter of B. Reginald and Evelyn Williams Cooper of Worton. She was the granddaughter of Barney Reybold Cooper and Ethyl R. Loud and also of Ralph P. Williams and Sarah Cooper Williams. She was preceded in death by her parents, her twin sister, Marilyn Helen Cooper, brother Richard R. Cooper and her nephew Christopher Cooper. Carolyn grew up in Worton, attended the two room Worton Elementary School, and graduated from Chestertown High School in 1960. She graduated from the Old Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Wilmington, DE in 1963, she also took some courses at the University of Delaware. She worked at the Memorial Hospital in Wilmington as a nurse until she became sick and had to move home. She has lived on Queen Street in Chestertown since 1970, first with her brother in the Buck Baccus House, then in the Simpers home. She bought her home, 127 N. Queen, in 1976 and has lived there since then. She was a lifelong member of Worton United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School for many years. In the early 1970’s an older relative took her to Union Cemetery, adjacent to IU Church near Worton, where some of her ancestors were buried. It was very overgrown, fallen stones, etc. Carolyn started researching the history of the cemetery and the people buried there. She started an annual Descendants Day for descendants of those buried in Union Cemetery in 1980 and has held one every year since then. As a result, the cemetery is cleaned up and taken care of and there is a Union Cemetery Committee to keep up her work. She has also had two books published: Worton Gleaning in 1983 and Descendant’s Day, A history of the Center of Kent County, MD in 2016. Descendant’s Day could not have been completed without the many hours of help from her devoted friend Holly Geddes. We will all remember Carolyn as the lady traveling around Chestertown in her wheelchair with the American flag proudly displayed. One of her favorite stops was the foot of High Street, where she would feed the ducks and geese. Carolyn is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, B. Stephen and Judy Cooper, their daughter Stephanie Cooper Price, and her sons: Hunter Price and his wife Courtn ey and Thomas Price and his wife Elaine. She is also survived by a sister-in-law, Faye Torstrict, widow of Carolyn’s deceased brother, Dick Cooper, their son. The service of celebration will be held at Fellows, Helfenbein, and Newnam Funeral Home on Saturday, January 23, at 1 pm with visitation beginning at 12 pm and interment in Old Union Cemetery.

MURDER AND SUICIDE VERDICT Coroner Renders Decision In Deaths of Sailor and Girl. While no statements would be made by the parents of either Eva Schmidt, 19 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Schmidt, of Eastern avenue, opposite the Oaklawn Cemetery, nor John Sherlock Copper of the same age, a sailor in the Navy, who apparently carried out a suicide pact, Monday evening, it is thought that the opposition to their contemplated marriage on the part of the girl's parents was the motive for the tragedy. After making an investigation, Coroner William T. Riley, of the Central District gave a verdict of death as a result of bullet wound inflicted by John Sherlock Copper, in the case of Miss Schmidt, while in the case of Copper a verdict of death by suicide was given. Coroner Riley deemed an inquest unnecessary. The desire of the two sweethearts, as expressed in the note, "Bury us together, Sherlock and Eva", found several hours after the double suicide, will not be granted. The funeral of Copper will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his parents and will be military in character. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery. The funeral of the girl will be held Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. High Mass will be celebrated at 9 o'clock in Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She will also be buried in Oaklawn.

COPPER, William J.

Unconscious on Platform ~ Mr. W. J. Copper, A Former Baltimorean, Dies In Philadelphia. While waiting for a train at the Germantown Station, Philadelphia, Mr. William J. Copper, 47? years old, a brakeman on the Reading railroad and formerly a Baltimorean, fell unconscous on the platform. A train was rapidly rounding the curve leading to the station when Mr. Copper fell, and had it not been for a policeman he would have fallen on the tracks. An ambulance was summoned and the unconscious man was hurried to the Germantown hospital, where he died a short time later. The coroner's physician, Dr. Wadsworth, performed an autopsy and found traces of poison in Mr. Copper's stomach. The police believe that he had ptomaine poisoning. Dr. Wadsworth held an inquest yesterday. For a number of years Mr. Copper worked for the Maryland Steel Company, at Sparrow's Point. About seven years ago he went to Philadelphia and got a position with the Reading. His wife and daughter, Miss Florence E. Copper, went with him and they made their home in Germantown. About a year ago a misunderstanding took place between Mr. and Mrs. Copper, and with her daughter, she came to Baltimore. She and her daughter have been boarding on Broadway, near Preston street. Before his death Mr. Copper asked that his wife be summoned. The authorities at the hospital telephoned news of his death to his wife Sunday, but the details were not told her. The body will be brought to Baltimore. Mr. Co pper was the son of Mr. Cyrus Copper, superintendent of Mount Carmel Cemetery. Besides his widow and daughter, who is 18 years old, he is survived by three brothers - Messrs John, George and Ezra Copper - and three sisters - Mrs. Jacob Bardy, Mrs. J.B. Miller and Mrs. J.P. HiltZ. The funeral services will be held in this city, probably at the home of Mrs. Hiltz.

Christmas morning, Saturday last, Mr John Cosgrove, Sr, died at his home in Detmold after a short illness of pneumonia. Mr Cosgrove's illness was noted in this correspondence about two weeks ago at which time he was reported to be suffering from pleurisy, and a few days before his death, it was thought his condition had improved and members of the family were hopeful.

Mr Cosgrove had lived here practically all of his life and was aged about 48 years. He had followed the avocation of coal mining all his life and was a highly respected citizen. His widow and three children survive. Mr John Cosgrove, Jr, who has been working in Pittsburgh, came home about ten days ago, on being advised of his father's illness and has remained almost constantly beside him ever since. The funeral took place this morning.

COSGROVE, Martin

"Two Men Killed by a Collision of Helper Engine with a Freight-MARTIN COSGROVE AND CHARLES WALLACE DEAD-Fireman H. W. Knox Loses a Leg and Is In a Precarious Condition-Accident Caused By a Mistake in Reading Orders-Peculiar Performance of the Helper Engine After the Smash- "It was my fault entirely" were the words that came from the white, compressed lips, quivering with pain, of brave and dying Engineer Martin Cosgrove as he spoke of the disastrous wreck which occurred on the Short Line yesterday morning about 4 o'clock a mile and a half east of Orchard station. The old adage "that in the midst of life we are in death," never had a truer exemplification, for Thursday night Engineer R. J. Cosgrove, who had charge of engine No. 617 was not feeling well and requested his cousin, Martin, also an engineer to take his run out of Huntington, It was on this run that Martin Cosgrove met his death, and in the terrible wreck, Charles Wallace, head brakeman, was also killed and H. W. Knox so severely injured as now to be hovering between life and death. HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED Engineer Cosgrove was in charge of engine No. 617 hauling an east-bound freight under Conductor Davis, and had orders to stop at the siding at Orchard station to let helper engine No. 301 pass returning from a run. Engineer Cosgrove forgot his orders and went on beyond the siding for a mile and a half running at full speed. He recalled his orders and started to reverse the lever as the collision occurred. The helper engine in charge of Engineer Eph McDowell and Fireman Frank Onan had no thought of danger, until they heard the rumbling of the approaching train, and both jumped just as the collision occurred, as McDowell grasped the lever to reverse, which was thrown back against him as he jumped. Neither McDowell nor Onan were injured beyond slight bruises. They state, and the statement is confirmed, that the headlight of the freight engine was not burning. It had gone out a few miles beyond Nampa. NO TIME TO JUMP Engineer Cosgrove, his fireman, Knox and Head Brakeman, Wallace, who was riding in the freight engine, had no time to jump, and the engine was frightfully wrecked, the boiler being upon one side of the track and the tender upon the other, the engine being practically overturned. Horribly mangled beneath the engine, with both legs cut off was found the body of Wallace. Cosgrove and Knox were both caught beneath the wreckage, but managed to extricate themselves. Knox in his dreadful pain, managed to crawl 50 feet to the north side of the track, while his dismembered leg, which was torn off at the knee was found on the south side. Engineer Cosgrove was so caught in the wreck that the escaping steam literally roasted him. THE WRECKAGE The freight engine, as stated, was almost completely demolished, while eight or 10 of the freight cars were piled in a heap, making one of the worst wrecks of the character that has occurred on the Short Line for a long time. The helper engine, besides damage to the cab, was hardly damaged at all, and did not leave the track, but with the fact that Engineer McDonald had started to reverse the lever, it jumped forward and ran wild for a distance of eight miles, before coming to a stand-still. HELP SENT FORWARD Immediately after the accident Conductor Davis hastened with all speed to Orchard station and telegraphed the news to Nampa, and the Owl train, which leaves Boise at 3:25, upon its arrival at Nampa, was sent at once to the scene, carrying Drs. Murray and Kohler of Nampa, who had been at once aroused from their beds. HIS BODY UNDER ENGINE Head Brakeman Wallace of the freight was still under the wreckage. It could be seen that both his legs had been cut off near his hips and that he was dead. It was impossible to remove his body until the wrecking crew arrived. Wallace's body had been roasted frightfully. His remains were lying at a point near the boiler, where the scalding steam had enveloped him as in a furnace. As soon as possible Cosgrove and Knox were placed on the train to be brought to Boise. The train arrived here with them at 8:55. Dr. Murray of Nampa came in with the injured men, who were taken to St. Alphonsus' hospital. Dr. McCalla, the Short Line surgeon at this place, was summoned and he at once called Dr. Collister to assist him. Later Dr. Springer and Dr. Bowere were also summoned. On the road to Boise Cosgrove and Knox told their stories between gasps Cosgrove admitted he had misread his orders, as stated in the foregoing, and that he had discovered his error too late. Knox said he crawled out of the wreckage into the sagebrush, where he remained some time before being found. DIED AT HOSPITAL Shortly after arrival at the hospital Cosgrove died of his injuries. His death was due to the awful scalding he had received, he having been enveloped in the escaping steam from head to foot and great strips of skin and flesh had peeled off of him. KNOX RESTING EASILY Fireman Knox has withstood the shock of his leg being torn off with remarkable grit and fortitude. The physicians in charge amputated the stump a few inches above the knee. At a late hour last night he was sleeping. He is very weak and has lost a great deal of blood. SOMETHING OF THE MEN Martin Cosgrove was 26 years of age and was a native of Maryland, his widowed mother living at Western Port, that state. His father was an engineer, and he has a brother who is now an engineer on the Baltimore & Ohio. He came to Idaho in 1893 and had been employed on the Short Line ever since. He has no relatives in this state, excepting, as stated, his cousin, Engineer R. J. Cosgrove . He was an intimate friend, however, of D. J. Malone , Oregon Short Line mechanic, at Pocatello, who knew his family in the east and who arrived last evening to aid in the funeral arrangements. Mr. Cosgrove was a member of the B. of L. E. of Pocatello division No. 228, and the body will be shipped to his old home by his fellow members and will be accompanied by Engineers Jack Hiler, Frank Dryden and R. J. Cosgrove .

COSGROVE, Martin also WALLACE, Charles

"Two Men Killed by a Collision of Helper Engine with a Freight-MARTIN COSGROVE AND CHARLES WALLACE DEAD-Fireman H. W. Knox Loses a Leg and Is In a Precarious Condition-Accident Caused By a Mistake in Reading Orders-Peculiar Performance of the Helper Engine After the Smash- "It was my fault entirely" were the words that came from the white, compressed lips, quivering with pain, of brave and dying Engineer Martin Cosgrove as he spoke of the disastrous wreck which occurred on the Short Line yesterday morning about 4 o'clock a mile and a half east of Orchard station. The old adage "that in the midst of life we are in death," never had a truer exemplification, for Thursday night Engineer R. J. Cosgrove, who had charge of engine No. 617 was not feeling well and requested his cousin, Martin, also an engineer to take his run out of Huntington. It was on this run that Martin Cosgrove met his death, and in the terrible wreck, Charles Wallace, head brakeman, was also killed and H. W. Knox so severely injured as now to be hovering between life and death. HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED Engineer Cosgrove was in charge of engine No. 617 hauling an east-bound freight under Conductor Davis, and had orders to stop at the siding at Orchard station to let helper engine No. 301 pass returning from a run. Engineer Cosgrove forgot his orders and went on beyond the siding for a mile and a half running at full speed. He recalled his orders and started to reverse the lever as the collision occurred. The helper engine in charge of Engineer Eph McDowell and Fireman Frank Onan had no thought of danger, until they heard the rumbling of the approaching train, and both jumped just as the collision occurred, as McDowell grasped the lever to reverse, which was thrown back against him as he jumped. Neither McDowell nor Onan were injured beyond slight bruises. They state, and the statement is confirmed, that the headlight of the freight engine was not burning. It had gone out a few miles beyond Nampa. NO TIME TO JUMP Engineer Cosgrove, his fireman, Knox and Head Brakeman, Wallace, who was riding in the freight engine, had no time to jump, and the engine was frightfully wrecked, the boiler being upon one side of the track and the tender upon the other, the engine being practically overturned. Horribly mangled beneath the engine, with both legs cut off was found the body of Wallace. Cosgrove and Knox were both caught beneath the wreckage, but managed to extricate themselves. Knox in his dreadful pain, managed to crawl 50 feet to the north side of the track, while his dismembered leg, which was torn off at the knee was found on the south side. Engineer Cosgrove was so caught in the wreck that the escaping steam literally roasted him. THE WRECKAGE The freight engine, as stated, was almost completely demolished, while eight or 10 of the freight cars were piled in a heap, making one of the worst wrecks of the character that has occurred on the Short Line for a long time. The helper engine, besides damage to the cab, was hardly damaged at all, and did not leave the track, but with the fact that Engineer McDonald had started to reverse the lever, it jumped forward and ran wild for a distance of eight miles, before coming to a stand-still. HELP SENT FORWARD Immediately after the accident Conductor Davis hastened with all speed to Orchard station and telegraphed the news to Nampa, and the Owl train, which leaves Boise at 3:25, upon its arrival at Nampa, was sent at once to the scene, carrying Drs. Murray and Kohler of Nampa, who had been at once aroused from their beds. HIS BODY UNDER ENGINE Head Brakeman Wallace of the freight was still under the wreckage. It could be seen that both his legs had been cut off near his hips and that he was dead. It was impossible to remove his body until the wrecking crew arrived. Wallace's body had been roasted frightfully. His remains were lying at a point near the boiler, where the scalding steam had enveloped him as in a furnace. As soon as possible Cosgrove and Knox were placed on the train to be brought to Boise. The train arrived here with them at 8:55. Dr. Murray of Nampa came in with the injured men, who were taken to St. Alphonsus' hospital. Dr. McCalla, the Short Line surgeon at this place, was summoned and he at once called Dr. Collister to assist him. Later Dr. Springer and Dr. Bowere were also summoned. On the road to Boise Cosgrove and Knox told their stories between gasps Cosgrove admitted he had misread his orders, as stated in the foregoing, and that he had discovered his error too late. Knox said he crawled out of the wreckage into the sagebrush, where he remained some time before being found. DIED AT HOSPITAL Shortly after arrival at the hospital Cosgrove died of his injuries. His death was due to the awful scalding he had received, he having been enveloped in the escaping steam from head to foot and great strips of skin and flesh had peeled off of him. KNOX RESTING EASILY Fireman Knox has withstood the shock of his leg being torn off with remarkable grit and fortitude. The physicians in charge amputated the stump a few inches above the knee. At a late hour last night he was sleeping. He is very weak and has lost a great deal of blood. SOMETHING OF THE MEN Martin Cosgrove was 26 years of age and was a native of Maryland, his widowed mother living at Western Port, that state. His father was an engineer, and he has a brother who is now an engineer on the Baltimore & Ohio. He came to Idaho in 1893 and had been employed on the Short Line ever since. He has no relatives in this state, excepting, as stated, his cousin, Engineer R. J. Cosgrove. He was an intimate friend, however, of D. J. Malone, Oregon Short Line mechanic, at Pocatello, who knew his family in the east and who arrived last evening to aid in the funeral arrangements. Mr. Cosgrove was a member of the B. of L. E. of Pocatello division No. 228, and the body will be shipped to his old home by his fellow members and will be accompanied by Engineers Jack Hiler, Frank Dryden and R. J. Cosgrove. Charles Wallace was about 38 years of age and has a wife and child and widower sister at Ogden. His remains were brought to this city last night and will be shipped to Ogden, by the order of the B. of R. T. of which he was a member. Mr. Wallace was an old-time railroad man, having been employed on the Utah & Northern some 20 years ago. Fireman Knox is a new man at railroading, having been employed on the Short Line, his first experience, for a matter of three of four months only. His parents live at Keokuk, Iowa."

CRAWFORD, Thomas

FATAL ACCIDENT: The chipping room of the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Co's mill was the scene of a most distressing accident last Saturday morning and which resulted in the instant death of a very clever young man of Westernport. The victim of the unfortunate occurrence was Thomas Crawford, son of James Crawford, living on Westernport Hill. He was employed in the lime room of the mill, and was that week working on the night force, but had passed into the chipping room and stopped in front of the circular saw for a moment or two. While there, a log was put upon the carriage and had been sawed into two pieces, but being a longer log than those commonly sent into the room it was necessary to saw it again, and young Crawford had just stooped down to assist in moving the log for those of his friends working the saw, when from some unaccountable reason, the mandrel or shaft of the machine, on which the saw is suspended, snapped off, and the saw whirling with tremendous force flew from its pinning and striking the young man, while still bending over the log. Death was instantaneous and as a matter of course was painless, the lad in all probability not being co nscious of injury. His body was soon after taken to the home of his parents, where the sad news had made a distressed household. The funeral took place from the M.E. Church, South, on Monday. The remains were followed to the church and thence to the cemetery by Piedmont Council No. 19 Junior Order of American Mechanics, of which the deceased was a member. 25 September 1891; Piedmont (WV) Herald

CREEGAN, Bernard

CAPTURE OF JOHN J. M’GADY. He is Arrested in Helena, Montana, and Will Return to Cumberland Without a Requisition—Picture of the Man and the Story of His Crime. News was received in this city yesterday evening by Sheriff Hohing from Marshal C. H. Hard, of Helena, Montana, of the arrest at that place of John J. McGady, who killed Barney Creegan at Midland. McGady is now on his way here and will probably reach here on today. McGady committed a frightful crime at Midland on the morning of Sunday, February 17, at half past twelve. The particulars as gleaned by a Times reporter at [the] time were as follows: McGady had been collecting money for a church, finished his labors about half past ten o’clock that evening and went up to various saloons with a crowd of young men among whom was Bernard Creegan. After visiting Stakem’s and Kenney’s the crowd went up to Frank Ennis saloon, where McGady entered into a conversation with the bartender, telling him that his wife was down at Lonaconing at her father’s and he was going to walk down there to see her. He remained in Ennis’ drinking with the crowd until shortly before 1 o’clock Saturday night, when Ennis ordering the saloon closed, one of the crowd suggested that all hands take a friendly drink and go home. The drink was taken and the crowd left the saloon, but when they got on the outside Creegan began to quarrel with McGady. After abusive language on the part of Creegan towards McGady, they got into a tussle, clinched and fell down a small embankment. They then got up and came back where the crowd was standing. Creegan then took off his coat, and he began to quarrel again and clinched with McGady; both of the men fell upon their sides; McGady turned Creegan under him when at this juncture of the proceedings McGady called out “he is biting.” The parties in the crowd then separated them and McGady got up and remarked that “Creegan had tried to do the dirty work with him,” and stepping back a few paces, drew his revolver and fired two shots, the first taking effect in the throat just above the breast bone and the other struck Creegan in the right wrist shattering the ulna. After the shooting Creegan walked about 75 yards, followed by the crowd, when he fell from loss of blood, and was carried into Stakem's house, where Drs. White and Smith were called to assist the sufferer. They made an examination of the wounds and found that one ball had passed in the neck through the windpipe and lodged in the back of the neck and that another ball had struck the right wrist shattering the ulna. The physicians remained with him until Sunday morning at 7 o’clock. Creegan made no ante-mortem statement. McGady then went to a friend’s house, where it is supposed, he learned of Creegan's death and concealed himself until an opportunity was created for his escape to Montana. McGady is a young man 24 years of age and was a miner, employed in the Ocean mine of the Consolidation Coal company , a mile above Midland. He married a daughter of Patrick Cavanaugh, of Ocean, he is short in stature about five feet five inches in height, with light hair and blue eyes. Barney Creegan, the man killed, was about 21 years of age, and a son of Patrick Creegan, a saloon keeper at Midland. His brother Edward Creegan, is the telegraph operator on the George’s Creek and Cumberland railroad at Midland Junction. He was unmarried, and was a driver in the National mine of Hitchins Brothers Midland. He was a tall and fine looking fellow and very popular.

The floral offerings were beautiful and showed the esteem of his many friends. Queen's Point lodge I.O.O.F. attended in a body and assisted with the services. Interment was made in Queen's Point Cemetery. The Board of Directors of the Potomac Milling and Ice Co., in a special meeting, assembled deem it appropriate and right, in the courts of its deliberations, to pay its former associate and coworker, Mr. N. J. Crooks, a last tribute of respect and appreciation. We feel that the business of this company has been greatly benefited by his connection with it since its beginning, in the capacity of a director and member of the Executive Board, and that we, who have worked with him, have profited by his example of industry and application of business acumen to the conduct of the company's affairs. Why a career of such usefulness should be terminated at a point apparently little beyond its meridian is simply another of those mysteries beyond human comprehension. Our most sincere condolence are extended to the family and friends of Mr. Crooks. H. L. Arnold J. T. Carskadon J. L. Frost

CROWE, Bessie

(see additional articles Tragic Death ) The home of Silas Crowe, at a lonely spot on Savage Mountain, about five miles from here, was the scene of a mysterious shooting that is baffling the efforts of the coroner's jury endeavoring [where] to the place the blame for the death of Mr. Crowe's daughter, Bessie, aged 16 years. Tuesday afternoon about three o'clock the elder members of the Crowe family went away from home to return when summoned by neighbors and find the lifeless body of the child who has come to her death from the effects of a gunshot wound in the back of the head. The charge had entered just back of her left ear, tearing the back of her head off. There was no eye witness in the shooting, and the story told by a brother and a sister of the dead girl is doubted by the jury on the case. The brother, which is several years older than the dead girl, and a sister, several years younger, state that they were on the outside of the house and upon hearing a shot ran to find their sister with the gun in her hand lying on the floor. This story was at once disqualified by the jury impaneled, the Justice of the Peace, George Brown, acting coroner, when they had examined the body of the dead girl and failed to find any burns or powder marks. At a late hour Wednesday, no solution of the mystery had been reached. The brother and sister are both being held as witnesses.

CROWE, Mrs. Mary Ellen Chaney

(see above: Mrs. Isaac CROW) The cup of sorrow in this fallen world is speedily transferred from lip to lip. After an illness of nearly two weeks, Mrs. Mary Ellen Crowe, of near Avilton, loving wife of Isaac Crowe, was called from time into eternity, on March 10, 1897, at five o'clock p.m.., aged sixty two years, five months and twenty-nine days. The cause of her death was consumption. In her already weak physical condition she was unable to stand the suffering and her spirit took its flight. It was as if God said to her, "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the thngs prepared for you from the foundation of the world." She was a consistent member of the M. E. church for thiry years, and from almost the last words spoken by her--"I am going home, I do not fear death"--the relative and friends may rest assured that she simply sank into the arms of Jesus to be borne to the everlasting rest.

Crowe Ends His Life In Frostburg [Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun] Cumberland, Md., Nov. 7 - Sylvester Porter Crowe, 45 years old, a miner, who resided on Mechanic street, Frostburg, committed suicide shortly after noon today by shooting himself with a single barreled shotgun. He went to the woodshed and placed the muzzle against his breast and pulled the trigger with his toe, having removed his shoe. Death was instantaneous. Crowe bore a spendid reputation and was one of the leading Republican workers of Frostburg. His act is said to have been prompted by domestic troubles. He is survived by his widow and 11 children. He was a brother of George and John Crowe, Frostburg. Crowe, with Alfred Schofield, captured J. W. Campbell at Frostburg after Campbell had tried to kill three men on the night of September 12.

During yesterday afternoon, hundreds of people visited the home of the family and viewed the remains of Mr. Crowe and by 2 o'clock, the time set for the funeral, there was at least six to seven hundred people in and around the home and scattered along Mechanic street.

The funeral left the home at 1 p.m. with the 275 members of the order in the lead, followed by the officers, flower bearers and pallbearers in carriages. The members of the order marched as far as Eckhart flat, when they opened ranks and with uncovered heads allowed the funeral to pass through, only the officers going to the cemetery. The order, after the funeral had passed, countermarched to the hall in the Fisher building, on Main street. The funeral proceeded to the old Porter graveyard, about two miles north of Eckhart, where interment was made. Rev. A. H. Thompson, pastor of the First M. E. Church, read the burial service, and this was followed by the ritualistic funeral ceremony of the Jr. O.U. A. M. The floral offerings were many and very beautiful, especially one sent by the the Hon.

CUNNINGHAM, Patrick

On Saturday, Patrick Cunningham, a miner employed in the New Central Koontz mine at Lonaconing met with a horrible death, being run over by loaded mine cars and being killed instantly. He was entering the mine and walking on the left hand track, used by the loaded cars and supposition is that, confused by the noise of the empty cars in the rear, he was struck unawares by those in front, all of which passed over him, dragging the body forty yards before the accident was discovered. Cunningham was a single(sic) man, thirty years of age and much respected in the neighborhood. - Ruth Enlow Library Obituary file; Oakland, Garrett Co, Md; Date of Death:23 August 1879;

CUSTER, Samuel

Grantsville, Md., Nov. 7, 1887 Mr. Editor: –Your last week’s issue contains the announcement of the death of one of Garrett county’s oldest and most respected citizens, Samuel Custer. One so worthy and well thought and spoken of merits something more than the mere facts of death, its date and his age. He was born August 30, 1818 on Mount Nebo, in Grantsville district, where he lived all the days of his life, and where it came to a ripened and honorable end. A tiller of his beautiful and kindly acres throughout his many years of manhood, and so attached to them that he scarcely ever spent a day or night elsewhere. He was one of the eight sons of Emmanuel Custer (who died in 1829) and the last survivor of the number. In middle life he married Lydia Durst, sister of commissioner-elect M. Durst, whom he leaves as his widow; also a number of grown children. He was a good citizen and lived up to the laws, and the requirements of society – never gave offense to anyone. If he had an enemy in the world he was so without cause. A gentleman of the plain old Maryland stamp, hence my respect and long friendship for him. He came from the old Whig stock, and carefully followed the paths that its logical teachings carried him. Never a juror, witness or suitor in any court. Samuel Custer was first cousin to the father of Gen. Geo. A. Custer, with some of his facial features, but no two persons of the same blood could be more unlike in their moral nature. The one all soldier, and the other as amiable as human nature can be moulded into. Friendship.

CUTTER, Henry, Sr.

Hit-and-Run Victim Dies in Frostburg ~ Henry Cutter, Sr., Fourth Member of Family to be Killed in Accident. The fourth member of his family to meet death by accident in the past five years, Henry Cutter, Sr., 63 year old blacksmith of Knepp's Meadow, this county, died at 11:30 last night in Miners' Hospital, Frostburg, after having been struck by a hit-and-run driver while walking on the highway near the Gilmore bridge. Cutter was evidently struck by a car traveling at terrific speed as he suffered a broken back, a fractured left leg and the shattering of several ribs. Dr. J. C. Cobey, of Frostburg, who attended Cutter after he had been brought to the hospital by James Livingston and Joseph McKenzie, of Gilmore, said that Cutter had apparently been struck from the rear. He never regained consciousness. At State Police headquarters it was said today that Officers W. B. Chapelle and Edward Haddaway, who were summoned when Cutter was found, were still working on the apprehension of the driver and expected to have him in custody today. So great was the impact that a bumper was torn from the car, a clue which the State Police expect to be of aid in the arrest of the driver. Its was also said that the license number of the machine had been obtained. County investigator Terrence J. Boyle is assisting in the investigation. Mr. Cutter is survived by his wife, Jean Cutter, two sons, Taylor and Walter Cutter and one daughter, Miss Mabel Cutter. Joseph Cutter, Baltimore, a brother, and Mrs. Julia Fisher, Shaft; Mrs. Barbara Johnson, Gilmore, and Mrs. Caroline Inskeep, Lonaconing, sisters, also survive. The funeral will be held from the home of his son Walter Cutter, Lonaconing, Saturday at 2:30 p.m.
