(injured) "TRAIN KILLS ONE AND INJURES ANOTHER MAN--Cumberland and Pennsylvania Coal Train Hit Coney Men On Tracks. Lonaconing, Jan. 25. The condition of Frank Doolan, Jr., 23, who was seriously injured by a Cumberland and Pennsylvania train that killed William Quail Eichhorn, 25, last night, is reported improved today at Miner's Hospital, Frostburg. Doolan and Eichhorn were run down by a coal train at 6:55 p. m. while engaged in a fight on the railroad tracks. Eichhorn died in Miners Hospital, Frostburg, at 11:30 p. m. His right leg was amputated at the hip by Drs. J. G. Cobey and C. D. Stiles, Frostburg. He was also injured internally and was suffering from shock when admitted to the hospital. Doolan suffered a broken hip and a compound fracture of the left leg below the knee; also contused and lacerated wounds on the head. He was attended by Drs. R. C. Diahl, Frostburg and M. J. McDermott, Midland. Engaged in Argument. Both young men were married and had been friends for years. They engaged in an argument while in the gasoline service station operated by George Robinson in Detmold, near the community baseball field, according to State Officer George E. Miller. Later the pair left the station and went on the railroad tracks. "They were scuffling in the center of the track," Officer Miller quoted the engineer, Charles Shaffer, Westernport, as saying, when the engineman noticed them. Shaffer said he immediately applied the emergency brakes but was unable to keep from striking Eichhorn and Doolan. The train was stopped a short distance below where the men were hit. Conductor Adam Zais, Westernport, with other members of the crew and friends of Eichhorn and Doolan who were attracted to the outside of the gas station by the sudden stop of the train, carried the injured men to Robinson's station. Two Eichhorn ambulances were summoned and the two were taken to the hospital. Eichhorn was a son of Mrs. Martha Eichhorn, and the late Gustave Eichhorn, West Main Street, Lonaconing. His father was killed a number of years ago in a mine accident. He was a graduate of Central High School, where he participated in many athletic events. He later was employed at the Celanese Corporation of America at Cumberland and was a full back on the Celanese soccer team. Besides his mother, with whom he resided, he is survived by his widow and a small son; two sisters, Mrs. Everett Hardegen and Miss Nellie Eichhorn, and a brother, Martin Eichhorn, all of Lonaconing. His body was removed to the M. Eichhorn mortuary and prepared for burial. Doolan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Doolan, Sr., also of Lonaconing, and is employed as a truck driver by his father, an agent for the German Brewing company in the George's Creek section. He is married and resides with his wife on Church street. He also is the father of an infant child."

EAGLE, D W

In memory of our departed friend, D. W. Eagle, who was so suddenly taken from his family on October 15. Words fail to express our sympathy for his devoted and heart broken wife and boys, who loved him so much. Our hearts ache for them. Never was so sad an occurrence in our neighborhood before. We feel the loss of a noble Christian man and are grieved to give him up. We can't understand why so useful a man should have been removed from our midst. He was always ready to help those in need. I can say the best man on Newcreek is gone. Mr. Eagle was born on Upper Tract, Pendleton County, and came to this county when quite a young man and by his honesty and industry has accumulated considerable property and won a warm place in the hearts of his fellowmen. He gave his heart to God when a boy and joined the M. E. Church, South, in Upper Tract and for about twenty-eight years has been consistent member of Rees Chapel, at New Creek; always faithful in discharging his duty. Mr. Eagle married Miss Annie Burkhiser nineteen years ago, and to this happy union was given two good boys, which, with their mother, survive and deeply mourn the loss of a kind husband and loving father, for such he was. His place can never be filled in the home or with his friends. To know Mr. Eagle was to love him. His death has cast a gloom over this community which will long remain. God said to him, "Thy work on earth is done, enter thou into the joys laid up above for thee, where there is no more pain or weeping. God will wipe away all tears from every eye." Funeral service was conducted at his late home at 2:30 by his pastor, Rev. A. A. P. Neel. May the god who kept him and brought him safely through, keep his devoted wife and sons and comfort them and bring at last to make an undivided home above around the Father's throne in Heaven. to his bereaved ones I'll say: A precious one from you is gone, A voice you loved is still, A place is vacant in your home, Which never can be filled." God bless and comfort you all is the prayer of a

EAGLE, D.W.

A terrible accident occurred last Tuesday morning, a few miles above Keyser, in which three men lost their lives and one is lying in a critical condition. The dead are D. W. Eagle, a well known business man, a farmer, a sawmill man and interested in many other enterprises around here; John Smith, aged 20 years; and John Gray. The injured man is Jos Boyce, who has a leg and arm broken and hurt about the back, and it is feared that he too, will die. Mr. Eagle's son was also with the men, but escaped injury. The men were starting an old saw mill that had not been run for some time. In some way the boiler exploded. Smith was killed outright, Mr. Eagle died just as they reached the hospital with him, and Gray died the next morning. Eagle was crushed about the head and chest. Two other men were standing near, but both escaped without injury. Olin, Mr. Eagle's oldest son, was standing within a few feet of his father. Alex Shears, the fireman, who escaped, says there was only forty pounds of steam in the boiler at the time. They were all standing together watching one man lace a belt at the time. The men were all buried at the Duling church, Smith Wednesday, Gray Friday morning and Eagle yesterday afternoon. Mr. Eagle was a member of the New Creek Council National Union, who had charge of the fu neral, many of them attending. Services were conducted at his late home by Rev. A. P. Neel. Mr. Eagle was a native of Pendleton County, and was 49 years, 8 months old. He married Miss Annie E. Burkhiser, who with two sons, Olin and James, survive. He leaves three brothers, George of New Creek and two in the west, and one sister, Mrs. Taylor Delay, of Petersburg.

Sad Death Mrs. George H. Eisentrout, of Ocean, died Friday of last week at the Johns Hopkins hospital, Baltimore, whither she had gone ten days before for surgical treatment of a tumor. An operation for removing the excrescence was successfully performed, but the reaction, it is supposed, affected her heart, and hemorrhage of that organ set in with the sad result stated. Her husband survives with eight children, the youngest eight months old. She was 41 years of age. The remains, which reached Ocean Saturday, were brought to Frostburg Monday and interred, after services in the German Lutheran church.

EISLER, EARL A.

(abridged) FINZEL - Earl Adam 'Slim' Eisler, 86, of 77 Sampson Rock Road, Frostburg, went home with his Lord and Savior on Sunday, April 18, 2004. He died at home surrounded by people who loved him. Born in Finzel, on March 23, 1918, he was the youngest child of the late John Adam and Hylie (Winebrenner) Clark Eisler. He was also preceded in death by seven sisters; 10 brothers; and one granddaughter. He got his first job at the age of nine hauling rocks to clear the way for the building of the Finzel Road. When he got older, he worked in the coal mines and later for his sister Elsie Lotz at Frostburg Meats. For years he sold Rawleigh Products door-to-door. He eventually became an employee of the Celanese Amcelle Plant and was retired from there. At the age of eight he began teaching himself how to play various instruments including the piano, harmonica, guitar, banjo, and mandolin but he became 'master of the fiddle.' He played entirely by ear and it was said by more than one person that no one could play the 'Orange Blossom Special' like he did. He won several fiddling contests and even judged a few. Being 6'3" and slender earned him the knick name 'Mountain City Slim' and over the years he played in several bands including The Mountain City Ramblers, Dusty Shaver's Gospel Singers and Appalachian Bluegrass to name a few. His talents were limitless. He cut down the trees and built his own home. He loved to work with his hands and he called it 'tinkering around'. He is survived by three loving daughters, Helen Pauline 'Pommy' Keister and husband Bob, Oldtown, E. Loretta 'Letty' Minnick and husband Bob, Finzel, and Eileen Frances 'Leenie' Ewing and husband Kenny with whom he resided; a special granddaughter, Missy Ramhoff, whom he helped to raise; 12 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; and three great-great- grandchildren; faithful companion and wonderful friend 'Alda' with whom he shared many memories; several nieces and nephews; and his former wife Helen (Minnick) Brode and her son, a special friend Raymond 'Butch' Brode. He was also blessed to receive care and comfort from the Garrett Co. Home Health Care Team and Hospice of Garrett Co. They became quite a part of his life and he looked forward to their visits. Friends and family will be received at the Durst Funeral Home, P.A., 57 Frost Ave., Frostburg, on Monday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. and Tuesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral services will be conducted at the Emmanuel United Methodist Church, Pocahontas Road, of which he was a member, on Wednesday at 11 a.m. with the Rev.

ELKINS, William

William Elkins, Noted Hunter, Dies at Hancock ~ Was Personal Friend of Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt With Whom He Hunted and Fished ~ Was Expert Guide ~ Was Familiar With Mountains Where He Guided Sportsmen In Search of Game “William Elkins, 70 years old, for more than 41 years a guide for the Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, who was a personal friend of President Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, members of Congress, diplomats and representative business and professional men who spent vacations at the club, died this morning at his home at Woodmont. Few sportsmen who went to the Woodmont Club failed to look up "Senator" Elkins, as he was familiarly known. He was an expert angler, knew where the fish could be found and in the game season, he sought out the spots where wild turkey, quail, English pheasants and rabbits were to be located for the sportsmen. On numerous occasions during his life long service with the Woodmont Club was Mr. Elkins urged to take the position of manager of the club, but he always refused on the grounds that he would rather live on his farm, which adjoins the club grounds, with his family. He declared he was satisfied to remain a guide for the club and that explanation generally ended arguments that he take the job. When moving picture men were taking pictures at the Woodmont Club several years ago for a screen feature, they got much locale from Mr. Elkins, who they insisted get into the picture. Just before former President Wilson died he sent for Mr. Elkins, who was also famous as an accordion player, and had him play for him at his home in Washington. The war president also talked for hours with Mr. Elkins on his experiences at the Woodmont Club, of his fishing in Florida and Maine, and of the many hunting trips he had been on. Both Ex-President Wilson and Roosevelt visited the club house, fished and shot game in the hills of the club reservation. Mr. Elkins is survived by his wife, who was Miss Catherine Murphy, of Hancock. He is survived by six children: Mrs. Ella McGreevy, of McKeesport, Mrs. Laura Hughes, and Mrs. Agnes McCullough, of Ridgeley, Mrs. Porter Hill, of Hancock and Augustus Elkins, of Gephart Drive, Cumberland, and Jesse Elkins, of Ridgeley.”

ELLIOTT, Samuel

On Friday Dec 12, a fatal accident occurred on the tram road of Schull & Co whose mills are located at Shaw. It was on the last trip in the evening and three trucks heavily loaded with logs were started down the grade each accompanied by a brakeman. At one place on the grade the track gave away as the front truck passed over it, but this truck passed over in safety. The brakeman on the second truck stopped his load in time to save himself and turned to signal the hindmost truck which had become unmanageable and struck the second truck with tremendous force. The boys were thrown seventy-five feet or more and the ground plowed up as the heavy logs were hurled hither and thither. Samuel Elliott who was lying on the logs of the hind truck, being intoxicated at the time, was thrown violently forward and instantly killed. He is a young man, being an employee of the milling company and a native of Pennsylvania. Samuel Shingledecker, brakeman on the second truck, was struck in the back by a log as he jumped from the car and miraculously escaped instant death. He received rather severe injuries. A Mr. Kimball also received slight injuries. Drs Z.T. Kalbaugh of Bloomington and L.L. Edgell of Elk Garden were summoned and rendered the necessary medical aid.

EMERICK, Mary

Eugene Smith, aged 20, shot and instantly killed Mary, the six-year-old daughter of Sylvester Emerick at Ellerslie Tuesday morning. Young Smith, with three or four other boys, was in a barn shooting rats, when a bullet fired at a rat evidently went through a crevice and struck the little child, who was playing in an adjoining lot. The ball struck the child in the left side and came out the right side. The sad affair was purely an accident yet it has cast a gloom over the entire village, and caused the parents of the child to be almost prostrated with grief. Young Smith is almost wild over the occurrence.

EMERICK, Sherwood

Sylvester Emerick, a Pennsylvania railroad engineer residing at Ellerslie, while hunting groundhogs on the mountain opposite Ellerslie, accidentally shot and killed his 14-year-old son, Sherwood. The father had stationed the boy to watch a hole into which he thought the groundhog would go, and while he was away, the boy got in front of the hole. Mr. Emerick observed the reeds shaking near the hole and saw his son's brown cap, which he mistook for a groundhog; taking quick aim he fired and upon going up was horrified to find that he had shot his son. Mr. Emerick picked the little fellow up and hurried down the mountain toward home, but the boy died while yet three-quarters of a mile from home. Sherwood was a bright little fellow, and besides his parents leaves a brother and several sisters. This is the second accident of this kind in the family. A little daughter of the Emericks was killed by the careless handling of a gun sometime ago. Mr. Emerick is overcome with grief.

During his last two seasons at Brown, Engle’s quarterback was Joe Paterno, who accompanied him to Penn State as quarterback coach and succeeded him when he retired in 1966. Engle was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1974. “Rip was just a wonderful human being in the best sense of that definition,” Paterno said. “He was always very considerate and a great person to work for. He probably was one of the five or six best coaches collegiate football has ever had but he just never got that kind of recognition because he was so self-effacing. Rip was a true gentleman and had a tremendous influence on me, not only on coaching but on values, conduct and patience.” Engle is survived by his wife Sunny, one son, Charles A. Engle Jr., and two grandchildren. Funeral arrangements were incomplete but a memorial service was planned at State College.

ENGLE, Mrs.Sarah Ann

Sarah Ann Engle, widow of the late Douglas J. Engle, died Jan. 21, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Elmer Vought, located on the "Flog Hill" farm at Boynton, at the age of 90 years, 4 months and 14 days. She was born Sept. 5, 1853, in Elk Lick Township on the farm known as the Samuel Baker farm. She was the mother of 11 children, six of whom preceded her in death. The surviving children are: Mrs. Sadie Wahl, Meyersdale, R.D. 3; Mrs. Carrie Vought and Mrs. Elmer Menhorn, Boynton; Lester Engle, Salisbury, R.D. 1, and Ray E. Engle, Berlin, R.D. 1. She is also survived by 40 grandchildren, 41 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She knew many years of hard labor, for she helped her husband operate their small farm with the old hand implements, such as the spike harrow, the cradle, the scythe and the wash-board. She took part also in the labor of stacking the hay, grain and straw, as for many years they had only a stable for the stock. This couple spent all their married life on this small homestead, providing for their family in a primitive way, and maintaining for them a hospitable and happy home for which their children honored them. Living to the age of 4 score and 10 years, as Mrs. Engle did, required a strong constitution and a courageous soul. She was a member of the Evangelical and Reformed Church of Salisbury. As was her desire, her body was taken to the old homestead, which is now owned by her son, Lester, where short services were conducted on Monday afternoon at 1:30, after which her body was taken to St. Paul's Reformed Church for funeral services, Rev. Ira S. Monn, officiating. Interment was made in the St. Paul cemetery. Stanley Thomas, Salisbury mortician, had charge of funeral arrangements. The pallbearers were Hubert Wahl, Clyde Wahl, Roy Vought, Woodrow Engle, Sam Vought and Elmer Menhorn.

ENGLE, Samuel

Mr. Samuel Engle, one of Garrett county's oldest and prominent citizens, died at his residence, four miles south of Grantsville, on the 28th inst., more from age than any specific disease. He was about eighty years old, but hale, hearty and active till the past few months, since when general decay rapidly came upon him. Death appeared if not welcome at least expectedly, and while in the midst of his family, holding him in great esteem and affection. Mr. Engle had been thrice married, his last wife being Catherine Hoye, widow of the late William Ridgely, whom he left as his widow- a lady of much Excellency of character. The deceased had nine children in all, two of whom are dead; a majority living in the West. Born in Pennsylvania, - removed to the farm where he died about 55 years ago. A tiller of the soil all the days of his natural life, and a good one, as his well cultivated lands fully attest. Always present and foremost in his practical operation. He was industrious, energetic and thrifty, with good practical ideas and judgment. An honest, positive, and upright citizen, who will be very much missed, not merely in his neighborhood, but in the county. He was an active member and helper of the church. Here, too, his usefulness will be missed. Stern and resolute in all his business transactions, yet he had a heart ever ready to the just appeals of charity. All agree that Grantsville district has sustained a permanent loss. July 31, 1888

ENGLE, child of Mr. & Mrs. Barney

A terrible and fatal catstrophe[sic] happened on Thursday evening at the residence of Mr. Barney Engle, near Frostburg. It appears while Mrs. Engle was out of the house engaged in milking a cow, a little two year old daughter went too near the cooking stove and her dress of ??[looks like inflamable?] character becoming ignited, the body of the little one was burned to a crisp before assistance could be rendered. Death ensued in a short time after the accident. The shocking affair has plunged the parents of the little one in the depts of woe, and the tenderest sympathies of their neighbors are aroused in their behalf.

EVANS, Frank

In memory of Frank Evans of Martin, W. Va., who died June 15, 1913 . Call not back the dear departed, Anchored safe where storms are o'er. On the border land we left him, Soon to meet and part no more. When we leave this world of care, We shall find our missing loved one In our father's mansion fair. Through all pain at times he'd smile, A smile of heavenly birth, And when the Angels called him home, He smiled farewell to Earth. Heaven retaineth now our treasure, Earth the lonely casket keeps; And the sunbeams love to linger Where our loved one now doth sleep. Dearest one, thou hast left us, And our loss we deeply feel, But 'tis God that has bereft us He can all our sorrows heal. Yet again we hope to meet thee When the day of life is fled, When in Heaven in joy to greet thee Where no farewell tears are shed. One who loved him.

EVERLINE, Mrs. Ann Barley

A Cumberland woman, who recently retired from government service after serving on the staffs of four different state governors in Annapolis, was pronounced dead on arrival at Sacred Heart Hospital early Saturday following a fire at her local apartment. She was Ann Everline, 66, of 117 High Lane. Firemen were called to the blaze at 6:13 a.m. and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to the victim immediately upon arriving. However, attempts to revive her were unsuccessful. According to Dr. Benjamin Skitarelic, deputy county medical examiner, the cause of death was smoke inhalation. Capt. Charles England of the Cumberland Fire Department reported that the investigation is continuing but fire apparently began in an overstuffed chair in the apartment. It appears that a dropped cigarette may have been the cause. Central and West Side responded with three pieces of equipment, an ambulance and seven men. The apartment suffered smoke damage but was not destroyed. The firemen returned to their stations at 7:48 a.m. The victim was a Cumberland native who had served as secretary to the Greater Cumberland Chamber of Commerce and as an assistant to Congressman John Foley before joining the staff of the office of the Governor’s Appointments Secretary in 1960. She served under Gov. Tawes, Agnew, Mandel and Lee. She has been active in local and state Democratic politics for many years. Mrs. Everline was a daughter of the late Frank H. and Annie M. (Lehman) Barley and was a member of St. Patrick’s Catholic Church. Surviving are two sisters, Mrs. Mary F. Helmstetter, Cash Valley Road and Mrs. Catherine Everleigh, Baltimore. Friends will be received at the Leasure-Stein Funeral Home today. The rosary will be recited in the funeral home today at 7 p.m. Pallbearers will be Thomas E. Coyle, Bernard F. Coyle, William E. Lehman, Clement F. Helmstetter, Thomas B. Cumiskey and Joseph A. Blake. Mass of the Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. at St. Patrick's Church.
