DAILEY, Benjamin

A telephone message from Moorefield, Monday evening about 8 o'clock conveyed the startling information that Benjamin Dailey, the well-known lawyer of that place was dead. His death occurred very suddenly, said to be from heart failure. He was here last Wednesday and Thursday on legal business and was apparently in his usual health. Mr. Dailey was the eldest son of the late Dr. R. W. Dailey, of this place, and a brother of Judge R. W. Dailey. He was private secretary to Gov. Jacobs during that gentleman's two terms as Chief Executive of the State. Following his retirement from that position he located at Moorefield and began the practice of law. He was widely known as an able lawyer, a sound thinker and a gentleman of dignity and courtesy of the true and genuine stamp. Mr. Dailey was married rather late in life to a Miss Randolph, who, with several children, survive him. His death came coincident with the State Reunion of ex-Confederate soldiers in Moorefield to which Mr. Dailey had looked forward with interest, he, himself having been very severely wounded, a ball passing directly through his body. The fact that his father, who was a surgeon in the army reached him a few hours after the wound was inflicted was responsible for his having survived. Mr. Dailey's death will be keenly regretted by all those whose good fortunes it was to known him. -Hampshire Review of 9th.

DAILEY, Dr. G. T.

Dr. G. T. Dailey, one of the most widely known physicians in this section of the State, died unexpectedly Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Susan Pancake, four miles above Romney. Dr. Dailey, who has been in ill health for some time, was so far improved Sun as to drive out. Going to Mrs. Pancake's he decided to remain over night, being fatigued. Monday he got up, but had to go back to bed. Monday evening he was quite complaining and at his request Mrs. Pancake telephoned for Dr. Shull. The latter found him very weak but did not anticipate any immediate danger. About 6 o'clock he expired quite suddenly. Undertaker Racey prepared the remains for burial and brought the body down Monday night to the home of Miss Jennie Dailey, with whom he resided. The funeral will probably occur Wednesday. Dr. G. T. Dailey was prior to the time of his broken health an exceptionally successful physician, peculiarly able in his profession and widely read. No person was his enemy. Everyone who knew him and especially those who consulted him will regret most sincerely his death. Hampshire Review of 20th.

Piedmont had two catchers in 1905, Johnny Ament and George Dailey. George was the outstanding catcher of the team and recognized as one of the best in the league. He was always paired with Nick Maddox and it was music to the fans' ears to hear the umpire announce: "Batteries for today's game, Maddox and Dailey...." In 1906 he played with Springfield in the Central League and in 1907 with Butler and Charleroi. In 1909 he went to Memphis, Tenn and the following year played with Goldsboro, N. C. He concluded his career in professional baseball with Winston-Salem when he was struck in the hand with pitched ball in 1912.

DAILY, Mr.; also DYSE

Two men killed, two so badly injured that they are not expected to recover, and seven others severely hurt, is the total result of a bad freight wreck which occurred Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock two miles east of Pearre, on the Western Maryland Railroad. The dead: Fireman Dyse, of Hagerstown, whose body was recovered from the wreck; Brakeman Daily, of Hagerstown, body still under wreckage. Of the injured who are so badly scalded that they are hardly expected to live are Engineer J. C. Kneisley and Fireman J. P. Hess. Two engines, nineteen loaded cars and nine empty cars are piled up down a deep gully, the wreck being one of the worst freight mixups ever experienced by the road. Failure of Operator Haag, at Pearre, to deliver a train order is said to have been the cause. It was a head on collision on what is known as Cohill Siding, about 42 miles east of Cumberland. All the injured are members of the train crews. It will take several days to clear up the wreckage.

DALY, Miss Mary L

Was Teacher For 50 years ~ Weston School Principal's Funeral To Be Held on Friday Afternoon. Death, coming peacefully, after a four month illness, this morning ended the 50-year teaching career of Miss Mary L. Daly, principal of the Weston School. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's church at 2 p.m. (dst) Friday, in charge of the Rev. E. R. Garrison, pastor of the church. Burial will be in Grace Lawn cemetery. Injured in Fall Miss Daly died at her home, 318? East Crawford street, at 5 a.m. She had been confined to her bed almost continually since Feb 25, when she fell on an icy sidewalk near the school in which she had served for 25 yeas as principal. The force of her fall was such that it caused a compression of one or more vertebrae. The injury weakened her, physically, and other ailments set in, causing her condition to become steadily more grave. She lapsed into a coma a week ago, and never rallied. Lifelong Resident At the time of her injury, Miss daly was leaviing the school after working late and did not realize the slipperiness of the walks. Despite the pain and shock suffered when she fell, she couragously[sic] walked to her car, parked nearby, and drove to her home without aid. Miss Daly had lived in this vicinity virtually all her life. She was born just north of the city in Osolo township, the daughter of John L. and Sarah Bird Daly. Educated in the Elkhart schools, she was graduated from the high school here and then attended Terre Haute State Normal school to fit herself for a teaching post. Principal 25 Years In 1884, having completed her normal school training, Miss Daly obtained her first employment as a teacher of the Kinney School, northeast of Elkhart. The following year she taught at Mottville, Mich., the next year at the Pittsburgh school in Concord township, and the next year at Willowdale school, which was then not a part of the city school system. In 1885 she entered the city schools teaching one year each at Beardsley and Central buildings before going to Weston. For the next 44 years she devoted most of her waking time to her teaching duties, and her diligence and efficiency were rewarded by her promotion to principal about 25 years ago. Miss Daly's kindly disposition and understanding treatment of pupils endeared her to the many children -- probably to be numbered in thousands -- who came under her influence during the formative period of youth. In recent years the school enrollment had numbered many pupils whose parents also were taught by Miss Daly. Church Worker Outside school hours, the veteran teacher found time to take part in the activities of the Parent-Teacher association. She was also interested in the Y.W.C.A., particularly the Business and Professional Women's club of that organization. She was a steadfast member of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, and had taught the Loyal Workers, women's class, in the Sunday school for 20 years.

DANAHEY, Matthew

Badly Injured By Runaway Team Yesterday afternoon a runaway team knocked down Mr. Matthew Donahey, flagman at the crossing of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad near the post office, badly inuring[sic] him and causing what may result in serious hurts. His nose is said to have been broken and it is feared internal injuries may also have been sustained. Mr. Donahey is past 80 years old and his advanced age may operate against his early recovery. The team is owned by Mr. George Ternent, general merchant, near the railroad crossing, and had gone to Jackson High Row about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The driver a young man named Spiker, left the team standing, as usual, while he delivered some merchandise to a customer. While he was inside the house, the team became frightened and ran away, running down Jackson street at full speed. Dr. Donahey, who was standing in the centre of the crossing, saw the team as it turned the corner in front of the Mystic Chain Building, and he attempted to stop the horses. When near him, the horses turned suddenly to the right and the "tongue" of the wagon struck Mr. Donahey, knocking him down. Amost[sic] simultaneously, one of the horses slipped on a rail and in scrambling to regain its feet, stepped on the aged man's face and chest. Spectators picked Mr. Donahey up immediately and carried him into the waiting room, and Dr. W. Q. Skilling who had been summoned, arrived promptly and rendered surgical aid, after which the injured man was removed to his home in Pekin. Mr. Donahey has been in the employ of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad Company for many years, working with the section repair men until a few years ago when he was given the position of flagman at the crossing, after a previous accident. Mr. Donahey has several married sons and daughters. He is a well known old gentman[sic], being a familiar personage to almost every man, woman and child in this vicinity, and of a particularly jovial and social disposition, possessing the characteristic wit and humorous phases of tendencies of the native Irishman. Much anxiety is felt in the probable outcome of his injuries, which are regarded as quite serious, complicated by his advanced age. Considerable damage was done to the Ternent delivery wagon before the runaway horses could be stopped.

DANAHEY, Matthew

Lonaconing, Md. Aug. 20 As foretold in this correspondence yesterday, the injuries sustained from the runaway team of Merchant George Ternent, by Mr. Mathew[sic] Danahey, of Pekin, on Monday afternoon, about 4 o'clock, proved fatal and Mr. Danahey succumbed yesterday before noon. Mr. Danahey, who was flagman at the C. & P. R.R. crossing near the post office, and only a few feet diagonally opposite the Ternent store, endeavored to check the runaway team as it case[sic] tearing down Jackson street to the railroad crossing, but he was knocked down and trampled upon by one of the horses, receiving internal injuries in the chest and face. Although Dr. W. Q. Skilling responded promptly and rendered first aid to the injured man, who was taken to his home in Pekin. Mr. Danahey never regained consciousness. The pain he otherwise must have suffered was therefore, minimized. Dr. J. O. Bullock, the attending physician, gave no hope to his family after examination and on Wednesday advised them that death would be a matter of only a few hours. Mr. Danahey was born in county Cork, Ireland, in 1831, and he was therefore in his 84th year. Coming to America in 1868, he located in Martinsburg, W. Va., but remained there only two years coming to this lacality[sic] and taking up his residence in Pekin in 1870. Mr. Danahey was employed on the repair work of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad and was continuously in the employ of the company up to the time of the accident which caused his death. Two years ago he was injured in an accident, when the handcar on which he and other employes were riding, jumped the track, and on his recovery was transferred from the repair squad to be flagman at the crossing where he was injured on Monday. Mr Danahey possessed all the wit and joviality so characteristic of the Irish race and he was a famiilar[sic] personage to old and young alike, being known throughout this vicinity and highly esteemed by all. The deceased is survived by one son, Mr. John Danahey, of Lonaconing, and one daughter, Miss Mary Danahey, who kept house for her father, his wife having died several years ago. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, going on the electric cars to Barton, where services will be held in St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, of which the deceased had been a communicant since coming to this vicinity.

In later years he became a constructor of railroads himself and a railroad official. He and his brother, Henry G. and S. B. Elkins, with others, projected the W. Va. C & P RR now know as the Western Maryland Railway. After they sold that they built the C & C RR. Col Davis was prominent in the development of the coal fields in the region of Elk Garden, this county. It was he who made the deal with Mr. Jacob Van Meter, of Hardy County, for that vast tract of land underlaid with the fourteen foot vein of coal lying very close to the town of Elk Garden. He was a heavy stockholder and an official in the Davis Coal and Coke Co that has many mines in operation not only in this county but in various other sections of our State. Col. Davis started life a poor boy but by his industry and good judgement, he accumulated a fortune amounting to several millions of dollars, the vast majority of which he left to his nearest relatives, but made some bequests to intimate friends outside of the family. The estate will be settled up by Hon. Henry G. Davis and Mr. W. E. Heskitt. He never married. His brother, William, died many years ago, leaving seven children; he became their guardian and ever acted the part of a father toward them.

Davis had been in failing health for the last two years. The Sunday before the Sunday of his death, he said that he could not stand another spell like the one that he had a few weeks previous. On Friday night before his death he was taken with a chill and never rallied, but death came peacefully. He seemed not to suffer at all. A week before his death he had his brother to come and spend a day with him and talk with him [of] his business affairs. He gave minute instructions as to the settling up of all his estate. Col. Davis was president of the Peoples Bank of Keyser and an official and director in several other banks in different places. From his early manhood, Col. Davis took an active part in politics. He was a lifelong Democrat.

Eagle, one of the boiler explosion victims, and it was necessary to blast a rock in the grave. They set the blast off and ran at least a hundred feet to a tree and were standing there when the blast went off, throwing a large stone in the air, which came down striking Fred on the head, crushing his skull. He was hurried to the hospital, and an operation performed, but his injuries are so bad that his recovery is not believed to be possible. Mr Davis is about 32 years of age, and stands well in this community, and this terrible misfortune is deeply deplored by all who know him.

DAVIS, Mrs. Martha (also TRICKETT, Carl)

July 6, 2012 Looking Back 1935: Blast kills Oakland farmer, housekeeper James Rada Jr., Columnist Carl Trickett, a 38-year-old electrician, left his work at the Shallmar Powerhouse around 3 a.m. on a cold Saturday morning in January 1935. He drove to his home, a dairy farm two miles west of Oakland, and caught some needed shut-eye.The car remained outside his house until he, two of his four children and his housekeeper got into the car on Sunday to drive to Morgantown, W.Va., where Trickett’s brother lived. They never arrived. Two miles from Terra Alta within sight of the Hopemont Sanitarium, the car exploded. “Small trees and bushes were cut off and mowed down for a distance of 75 feet from the highway by flying particles of the front end of the machine,” the Charlestown Daily Mail reported. Trickett was “killed by small bits of the motor as the explosion rocked the entire neighborhood,” according to the newspaper. William and Margaret Trickett, ages 12 and 13, were thrown from the car, as was Martha Davis the housekeeper. Davis was killed immediately, but the children survived, battered and bloody. “A Hopemont worker, first to reach the scene, said the badly bleeding children were attempting to extricate their father from the overturned car, which caught fire,” according to the Charleston Daily Mail . The worker helped get Trickett’s body out of the wreckage and took him to the hospital where he died shortly after arriving. It quickly became apparent that the explosion hadn’t been an accident. Theories began to make the rounds as to what had happened, from kerosene replacing the antifreeze in the radiator to dynamite being placed in the car. The latter proved to be true. “State’s Attorney Neil C. Fraley said he believed the dynamite had been placed on Trickett’s motor and exploded when the heat became intense enough to set it off,” the Baltimore Sun reported. Law officers from both West Virginia and Maryland began investigating the explosion. Though the explosion had happened in West Virginia, Garrett County Sheriff Clarence Spears investigated because no one knew where or when the explosives might have been planted in the car. The Cumberland Evening Times reported that two days after the explosion on Jan. 8 Wallace and Thomas Davis of Shallmar, Martha Davis’ husband and son, were arrested. It wasn’t for Martha’s murder, though. Wallace had signed his brother-in-law’s name to a promissory note to pay for his wife’s funeral. Trickett was buried in Oakland on Jan. 9 and Davis’ funeral was in Shallmar on the following day. The Davis men were allowed to attend the funeral, but they had to be accompanied by a deputy. They were returned to the jail following the service, not only because of the fraud and forgery, but the newspaper reported that by then they had become suspects in the explosion. No reason was given for why the Wallaces had become suspects, though the sheriff traveled to Shallmar as part of his investigation. “The trip was made in an effort to check on the theory an enemy of Trickett had hidden dynamite in his automobile while he was working in a power plant there,” according to the Cumberland Evening Times. Though no resolution to the case can be found, one plausible theory is that Trickett and Davis met while Trickett was doing his work at the Shallmar power plant. Did they have an affair that Wallace found out about and took extreme action to end? No answer is known and no one was ever brought to trial for the murder. (6 January 1935)

DAWSON, (child) Noah Wilmot

Dawson, Md. - The death angel visited our peaceful community Monday, March 24, 1913, and claimed for his victim little Noah Wilmot Dawson, the seven-year-old son of Rev. S. D. and Emma J. Dawson. Death was due to membranous croup from the effects of measles. Little Noah was a bright boy and was the pride of the home where he will be sadly missed. Also his bright smile will be missed in the Sunday school. But God in his infinite wisdom thought best to take him, so he has gone to join the Sunday School in the great beyond. While it is sad for us to give him up, God knows best and we will submit to his Holy will and exclaim, "The Lord Giveth and the Lord Taketh Away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. And not our will but Thine be done." Weep not, dear parents, little Noah has left this troublesome world of sin and sorrow and has gone to join the angelic host above and is only waiting and beckoning for you to come and join him. Be faithful a few more days or weeks at most, and God will call you hence to join him in that sun. The angels came and took him, We’ll see him here no more. But by and by we’ll meet him, On that bright celestial shore. I know 'twas hard to give him up, Your darling little son. But God knows best, just trust in him, And say, "Thy will be done." By and By you’ll go to meet him, In the home beyond the sky, Where parting will be ended, And will be no more good-bye.

DOOLIN, Michael

A Century Old Then Died ~ Michael Doolin, Oldest Man In Maryland Dead ~ Laid the First Rail on the B & O ~ Witnessed a Race in this City Between the First Engine on That Road to Arrive and a Mail Carrier on Horseback. He Lived at Mt Savage, but Died Yesterday in Pittsburg Michael Doolin, thought to be the oldest man in Maryland, died at 2:30 yesterday afternoon at Glenwood, a suburb of Pittsburg, almost if not quite a hundred years of age. He was born in Dublin, Ireland and came to this country with his wife when only 21 years of age, his wife being one year younger and settled in Cumberland. He was a moulder by trade, but worked for the B & O Railroad and is said to helped lay the first rail ever laid on that road between here and Baltimore and was, no doubt, the oldest employe in the country. He was employed on that road when the first engine arrived here and witnessed a novel race between an engine and a mail carrier as to which would reach here first, the man on horseback arriving a little ahead of the engine. The mail was then carried from here to Baltimore by relay. When the deceased settled in Cumberland, there was but one house on Baltimore Street and that was located where Simon Wilson's cigar store now is. While living here, he also worked at his trade with Coroner Strong and the late auctioneer, William Wickand. Later he located at Mt Savage and was one of the first settlers in that town. He built his home with his own hands a little log structure where he lived until eight years ago when his wife died and he broke up housekeeping and lived around with his children, primarily, Mrs Julia Doyle, a daughter, at 31 Maryland Avenue. At the time of his death, he was living with his daughter, Mrs Mary Hurley at Glenwood and had been living there about one year. His other living children are: Mrs William Kearney, Youngstown, Ohio; Frank and William Doolin, Homestead, Pa and Michael Doolin, Frostburg. His nephew, Joseph Doyle of this city, who had been working at Glenwood, notified his mother, Mrs Julia Doyle of this city by telephone yesterday afternoon and then came over last night and this morning went to Frostburg to make arrangements for the funeral. The remains will be brought there tomorrow morning on Train No 10 and the funeral will take place from the Catholic Church at Mt Savage of which the deceased was a member, sometime tomorrow. It is thought the funeral will take place 10:30 tomorrow, but that cannot be definitely stated at this writing. Find A Grave Memorial# 176434191

DOUGLAS, John C.

Lonaconing, Md., April 6 - John C. Douglas died at his home on East Main Street at 10 a.m. yesterday. Mr. Douglas had been ill six weeks, and on Sunday he was reported somewhat improved. Liver disease was the cause of death, and though for weeks past, he was a very sick man, he was fully confident that he would recover, and was cheerful through it all. Mr. Douglas was a native of Ireland and first saw the light in the most picturesque spot in that land, Seven Churches, in the beautiful Vale of Avoca, where the three waters meet. He left Ireland in his early manhood and went to England where he worked in the ore mines, Later he came to the United States and worked in the coal mines in Pennsylvania. Mr. Douglas and a companion walked from Johnstown, Pa., to Cumberland in 1866, and coming to Lonaconing he found employment in the Detmold mines. A few years afterward, he was able to go into business here, and made some money, which he invested shrewdly and six or seven years ago he was able to retire and take life easy. In May 1907, Mr. Douglas was elected a member of the city council of Lonaconing, and shortly afterward, in company with his life-long friend, Peter Bush, of Ocean, sailed for Ireland to visit his native village. He remained in Ireland about three months and returned none the worse for the journey. Mr. Douglas went to Washington to see the inauguration and became ill a few days afterward, and it is believed that the exposure on that day is responsible for his illness and death. Deceased is survived by his wife and five children: William and John of Washington, D. C.; Michael, of Basin, Wyoming, and Joseph and Kate, of Lonaconing and Sister Anna Louisa, of the Order of St. Joseph, who is in a convent in Philadelphia. Mr. Douglas was married twice. His first wife-who died 22 years ago in Lonaconing-was Mary Burns, and she was the mother of all the surviving children. His second wife was Catherine Murphy, whom he married 20 years ago. Four brothers and one sister of the deceased are living, James and Patrick, of Portland, Oregon; and Michael and Thomas, of Butte, Montana, and one sister, Mrs. Annie Boals, of New Amelia, Neb. John C. Douglas was a good citizen, and was ever foremost in any movement for the betterment of his town. He was always happy and a most companionable man. He had been ailing since November but developed no dangerous symptoms until after his return from Washington last month. His sons and daughters were here last week, but as his condition improved, they went home. His son, Michael, of Basin, Wyoming, had not yet reached home, and a telegram was sent to Omaha, Neb., yesterday to intercept him. At this writing, no date for the funeral has been set."

Alaska, W,Va., March 29 – Not seeing anything in last week’s paper about the sickness and death of Mr. Samuel Dowden, I will try and write something this week. Mr. Dowden was sick about two weeks with pneumonia, then spinal meningitis, which took him off in about five days. Rev. Edwards preached a very comforting sermon, assisted by Rev. Myerly, to a large and sympathetic congregation. Everything that could be done by medical aid was done by Dr. Lantz of this place and Dr. Spear, of Cumberland. His family and friends did everything they could for him. His remains were laid to rest in the Frankfort cemetery. Mr. Dowden was a kind and loving husband and father. He leaves a wife, two daughters, Mrs. Ada Haines and Mrs. Lucy Dunn, one adopted daughter, Nannie, at home, and two sons, Tommy and Floyd. The family has our sympathy.

DUFFY, James C.

James Duffy Dead. Mr. Patrick Duffy, of Ocean, was advised yesterday of the death of his brother James C. of Granite, Montana , who was fatally shot by Michael Lonergan. Jan 8. The following is from the Butte “Miner’ of subsequent date: “Philipsburg. Jan. 8.— James C. Duffy, of Granite, Deputy State Game Warden and formerly representative from Granite Co., was fatally shot in this city at 3:20 o’clock this afternoon by Michael Lonergan, a miner in the employ of the Granite Bimetallic Consolidated Mining Company. The shooting occurred just outside the door of the post office during the crowded portion of the day. Lonergan was standing outside the door and fired the fatal shot without warning as Duffy approached. The ball penetrated the brain over the left eye causing death at 6:30 in the evening. Although there were a number of witnesses, no definite information can be obtained concerning the cause of the shooting. Many conflicting reports are current. Indications point very strongly to a premeditated act on the part of Lonegran, who had been drinking heavily for a number of days past. The claim is made that the two men had seriously disagreed recently and that Lonergan had made threatening remarks regarding Duffy. Also that he had purchased the weapon with which the shot was fired from a local dealer. Lonergan did not resist arrest and was placed in the county jail to await hearing. Duffy was forty nine years of age He was born in the County Donegal, Ireland, in 1876 and came to Philipsburg twenty-four years ago. For many years he was secretary of the Granite County Miner’s Union and in 1911 and 1912 represented Granite County in the State Legislature, since which he has served as Deputy Game Warden in this section. His death is a shock to the community because of his prominence in Philipsburg and throughout the entire State.” Find A Grave Memorial# 123651455

While walking around in her garden she tread upon a rusty nail which penetrated the thin leather of her foot. She suffered but little at first, but gradually blood poisoning set in and despite the efforts of her physician to neutralize the deadly pain, she died in great agony at the time stated above.

DURST, Miss Semilda/Simelda

A pre-birthday tragedy yesterday afternoon cost the life of Miss Semilda Durst, 74, of 470 Goethe Street, who died less than four hours after she was admitted to Allegany Hospital with severe burns suffered when her clothing ignited at home. Miss Durst, who would have been 75 years old tomorrow, was rushed to the hospital about 1:50 p. m. in a semi-conscious condition and died at 5:30. Dr H. V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, attributed death to multiple third degree burns of the body, and shock. Miss Durst, according to witnesses, had been in the back yard before she went into the kitchen. Shortly afterwards she appeared on a side porch, her clothing a mass of flames from head to foot. Mrs. Virginia Sailer, who resides next door, noticed the elderly woman and screamed for help. Her brother-in-law, Lloyd Newcomer, 472 Goethe Street, a Celanese worker, along with Mrs. Deborah E. Burkett, 474 Goethe Street, and John Gross, went to Miss Durst's aid and finally managed to extinguish the burning clothes with throw-rugs taken from the kitchen. An ambulance took her to the hospital. When Newcomer entered the Durst kitchen, he found several rugs ablaze on the floor. He tossed them into the yard before the house caught fire. It was surmised that the elderly victim's apron, which had burned off before she ran onto the porch facing Newcomer's home, ignited the rugs. A sister, Miss Edna M. Durst, who resided with the victim, was getting coal from a shed in the yard when the incident occurred. She saw Newcomer and the others on the porch but was unaware of the situation. Witnesses said the lid on the combination gas-coal stove had been lifted off. Miss Durst apparently caught fire while using her apron to handle a "lid lifter" or from flames in the stove. The lid was "very hot," Newcomer reported. Born in Barton, Miss Durst was a daughter of the late Alphus Henry and Philadelphia Durst. She had resided here about 20 years. Surviving, besides her sister, are a brother, Windom Durst, Barton; a niece, Mrs. J. H. Phillips, and a nephew, A. G. Durst, both of Keyser, W. Va. The body was taken to the Boal Funeral Home, Westernport, where services will be conducted Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. Interment will be in Laurel Hill Cemetery, Moscow.
