FAHEY, Bernard T.

Bernard Fahey Asleep in Death ~ The Well Known Sexton of St Patrick's is Dead ~ Faithful To His Duty As Sexton, he was so Prompt in the Ringing of the Church Bell that People Regulated their Watches by it. He was 63 years old. Mr Bernard T Fahey, the well known sexton of St Patrick's Catholic Church, died at his home, 213 North Centre St, yesterday morning, aged 63 years. Mr. Fahey was stricken with paralysis several weeks ago and had had several light strokes since. Yesterday, a week ago, the stroke which preceded his death came, rendering him speechless in which condition he remained until the time of his dissolution. When the end came, he passed peacefully away surrounded by his the members of the family. A most gratifying instance to Mr Fahey and his family was that a few days before his death, his half-brother, Mr Bartley Kelley, of Dunellen, N.J. whom he had not seen in forty-six years came here to visit his sick relative and was present during his last moments. Mr Fahey was perhaps one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Cumberland, having been sexton of St. Patrick's for nearly thirty years attending to his duties with a fidelity as marked in his attendance upon the services of the church. So prompt was he in the ringing of the angelus at morning, noon and evening hour that clocks and watches were regulated by it. It is said that during the thirty years as sexton, he never missed the ringing of the angelus at the appointed times excepting when he was sick and this was rare up to the time of his recent illness. He called the living to the services. He bade a welcome to the New Year and signaled the Old had fled. Mr Fahey was born in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland coming to this country when a small boy, taking up his residence in Patterson, N.J. with relatives. He came to this city about 1869, about the time of the starting of the Baltimore & Ohio rolling ??? in which he became an employee. Mr Fahey was married in this city, his wife being Miss Mary J O'Shea, daughter of the late Michael J O'Shea, who survives him with the following children: Messrs Michael F and Edward B, John J and Misses Agnes and Bernadette Fahey, all of whom live at family home. He was a brother-in-law of Mr James McHugh, the well known coal dealer. Mr Fahey was a member of the Allegany Lodge No 31 Shield of Honor and the Holy Name Society. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning at St Patrick's Church with high requiem mass, the cortege leaving the residence at 8:40 o'clock. Interment will be in the cemetery of the church. Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Monday, December 14, 1908 - pg 1, col 6

FAIRFAX, William

William Fairfax, colored, aged about 55 years, was fatally shot at noon Saturday by Robert Burley, aged 15 years, also colored, following a dispute over chopping wood. Fairfax was in the employ of Burley’s mother and they occupied a cabin on the F. C. Welton farm about two and one half miles from Cumberland. Fairfax it is stated raised an iron cooking pot to strike young Burley, who secured a shotgun and almost tore Fairfax’s leg off with the charge of shot. Fairfax bled to death from the wound before aid could be summoned. Young burley escaped to Cumberland and placed under arrest at the home of a colored family on Thomas street. He was taken from bed yesterday and removed to jail at Keyser, W. Va., the tragedy having occurred in Mineral County. Burley is said to have been a thrifty colored lad and to have a bank account. Burley loaded the gun with shells which he found in a cupboard and he was not long in taking aim at Fairfax, whom, he thought, according to this statement when arrested, he had shot in the ankle. He did not stop to ascertain the nature of the wound but fled to this city. Mr Welton notified the sheriff at Keyser but the Cumberland police did not receive the information until late Saturday evening. Officer Charles O’Hara, in his brother’s automobile, and the Keyser officer, soon located Burley, who was lodged in the station house. This was near the midnight hour. Early yesterday morning Burley was taken to Keyser. –Cumb News of 3rd.

FARMER, Romangus

Romangus Farmer, aged about 26 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Farmer, who lives near Shilon church, Hampshire Co, was drowned in Capon river while attempting to ford the stream, which was swollen from recent rains, Wednesday afternoon of last week. Richard Goode, driving one team, and young Farmer, with another, loaded with barrels, started about noon for Augusta. Mr. Goode drove across the bridge at Capon Bridge and the young man who was dro wned could have done the same, but it is thought he tried to overtake the first team by fording the stream at another place. The river had risen several feet in consequence of heavy rains the night before, and when the young man drove the team into the stream the wagon was tilted and swept aside by an undercurrent, causing Mr. Farmer to be swept down the stream.

FINN, James

Eastbound passenger train No 2, on the W. Va. Central division of the Western Md. Railroad, last Monday, ran down and instantly killed James Finn, an American, about three and one half miles east of Hendricks. Engineer C. H. Deffinbaugh saw the arm lying across the track, but he was too close upon him to stop th e train. Finn was evidently asleep when struck by the engine. The forward wheels passed over his body, cutting him in twain but a portion of his clothing and suspenders caught on the sand pipe and he was dragged about 25 feet. The remains were place aboard the baggage car and taken to Thomas where they were prepared for burial. The dead man was about 30 years old.

FISHER, Conrad

PASSED AWAY ~ Conrad Fisher, the Last of the Old Stage Drivers Mr. Conrad Fisher died Saturday at 8 o clock, a.m., at his residence on Hanover street, aged seventy-one years. With the death of Mr. Fisher passes away the last of the stage drivers of the old National Pike, the deceased having driven stage between this city and Somerset for years. Many are the thrilling stories he used to relate of the hair breadth escapes he had from highwaymen during those days. On one of these occasions as he was driving through a dark like ravine he saw ahead of him a fence erected across the road. He knew well what that meant, and urging his horses to a rapid gate he was able to land his passengers safe on the opposite side of the fence just as the surprised highwaymen emerged with drawn revolvers from their hiding place.

FISHER, Titus B. (see also Mary L. Yoder)

Children Fatally Injured A half-brother and sister are reported to have died instantly yesterday morning when the push vehicle they were riding was hit by a car as they proceeded onto Route 669, two miles west of Salisbury, Pa., in Somerset County. Pennsylvania State Police at Somerset said Titus B. Fisher, three, and Mary L. Yoder, six, both of Star Route, Springs, Pa., were killed about 10 a.m. Wilbur E. Miller, Somerset County coroner, told State Police their deaths were caused by broken necks and skull fractures. State Police at Somerset said the two children were riding a power mower from which the blades and mower had been removed so that it could be used as a push toy. The vehicle was being pushed down a private drive at their father’s home by Moses L. Yoder, eight, another half-brother. As the vehicle carrying the two children approached Route 669, State Police reported, Yoder let go of the handle, and allowed the push vehicle to move freely into the path of a north bound car. Marian Shoemaker of Springs was driving the 1975 Chevrolet Impala that hit the vehicle and the children. State Police said visibility at the scene was limited because of high weeds. Somerset County Control sent Salisbury Ambulance to the scene. Mrs. Shoemaker was transported to Meyersdale, Pa. Community Hospital, where she was allegedly treated for shock and released. State Police at Somerset said the investigation into the accident is continuing. Mary L. Yoder was born in Meyersdale, Nov. 3, 1974, a daughter of Annie B. Yoder Fisher and the late Lewis P. Yoder.

Lonaconing Bureau of the Evening Times Lonaconing Md, Nov 19 The funeral of William Fitzpatrick, who died in a hospital at Cumberland last Mon, will take place from St. Gabriel's church, Barton, tomorrow at 9 A.M. Interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery below in Barton. William Fitzgerald(sic) will be missed in Pekin. He was a good man in every acception of the word. Honest, industrious and kindly. He had the esteem of all who knew him. Recently, he spent a great deal of money to re-open abandoned coal mines near Pekin. It was a brave v enture, but William Fitzpatrick had worked long in the coal mines and he knew how to get out coal. His venture was successful, and had he lived he would have demonstrated that much of the abandoned coal which the theorists and the commercial course miners left behind them could be mined at a profit. His death is a loss to this community.

Flanigan, who was about forty-five years old, lived in an old shack in South Cumberland. When he was taken to the police station, several physicians who examined him declared that he could not live more than two hours. Efforts were made to have him admitted to the Almshouse, but the authorities there refused him admittance because of his being a sufferer from tuberculosis. After several days during which time he lay in the police station, arrangements were made for his entrance to the Western Maryland Hospital. The body is at Stein's morgue. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Thursday, December 19, 1912 - pg 6, col 2

FOLK, E. Frank

E. Frank Folk, a native of Greenville Twp. and resident of Meyersdale and vicinity during his boyhood and young manhood, was found dead last Saturday on the floor of the bathroom of the apartment in Canton, Ohio, in which he had his last home. He had apparently been fatally stricken and lay dead for seven or eight hours before his body was found, all the other occupants of the house having risen earlier and gone to their work and places of business. A cut on his forehead and a small pool of blood on the floor indicated that his head had struck a stationary washbowl when he had his fatal stroke. He had been suffering from heart trouble during the last few years of his life and had several severe heart attacks previous to the one that proved fatal. He had been christened Elmer Franklin Folk, but after he grew up he abbreviated his name to E. Frank Folk because he had a cousin who also was named Elmer Franklin Folk and their identity often became confused because of the sameness of their names. His parents were Ananias and Ellen (Miller) Folk. The family moved from Greenville Township to St. Paul, Elk Lick Township, when Frank was three years old. They lived on what was known as the Ross Sechler farm near St. Paul, until 1920. After he grew up, Frank married Miss Margaret Hechler, eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Norman B. Heckler. His wife preceded him in death by about four years. They were a childless couple. Frank was one of a family of ten children, seven sons and three daughters. Surviving are only two brothers, Orville A. Folk, well-known resident of Trans-Meyersdale, and Earl, youngest of the seven brothers. Later he engaged in mechanical work in Cumberland, Md., Canton, Ohio, and various other places. He worked for sometime as a warehouseman for the G.C. Murphy Co. in Pittsburgh, but had to give up heavy work, eventually, owing to failing health. His last employment was that of dishwasher in a Canton, Ohio, restaurant. He lived in Canton three years before he succumbed to his physical ailments. His elder brother, Orville A. Folk, upon learning of Frank's death, left on the first available train at 4 o'clock last Sunday morning, to bring his brother's body to Meyersdale for burial in the White Oak Cemetery beside the grave of his deceased wife. The body was taken in charge upon its arrival in Meyersdale by Mortician H. R. Konhaus who had charge of the burial arrangements. Funeral rites were conducted in the Konhaus mortuary chapel at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon by Rev. Howard K. Hilner, pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church, after which the funeral cortege moved to White Oak Cemetery, in Larimer Township for interment.

“Mrs. Mary Catherine Folk was born in Somerset County, Pa., October 7, 1847, and died in Frostburg, Md., April 20, 1888, at the age of 40 years, 6 months and 17 days. The deceased had for many years been a member of the English Lutheran Church, though of late, through family care and declining health, she was prevented from regularly attending worship. For the past three years her health has been gradually failing. The malady that seemed to defy medical skill and finally terminated her life, showed the symptoms of an internal cancer. During the last three weeks of her life she suffered grievously but bore her affliction with Christian fortitude and resignation. It seemed hard to leave her husband and six little children, and she would have tarried with them a little longer had it been God’s will but she bowed in humble submission to His providence and died with a firm faith and a lively hope in her Savior.

FOUTCH, Charles

(also HAMMOND, William P., MOONEY, William J.) W. J. MOONEY DIED AT HOME EARLY- TODAY Had Been With Foutch Yesterday—W. P. Hammond Victim of Wood Alcohol Poison County authorities are expected to investigate into sudden deaths of two local white men today, who, the Police Department believe, are the victims of poisonous liquor. One man is believed by police to be Charles "Cotton" Foutch, about 45, who had lived in a shack on lower Canal street, in the rear of the Crystal Laundry plant. He was found in a dying condition this morning in the shack and died at the Allegany Hospital a half hour later. The other is William J. Mooney, aged 40, a laborer, who died early this morning at his home, 1004 Grape Alley, from undetermined causes. William P. Hammond, 27, 573 Arnett Terrace, died suddenly Thursday night in Winchester, Va., while on a visit to relatives, of wood alcohol poisoning according to the county coroner at Winchester. Foutch In Agony When Found Foutch was found by Officers Raymond Johnston and John W. Smallwood lying on the floor of the shack about 10:30 o'clock this morning. Two men, Dewey Emerson and John Allen, had reported to the police that there was a sick man in a shack on Canal street. Foutch appeared in great agony, his hands clenched, mouth open, and in a semi-stupor, the officers said. He was placed in the patrol ambulance and taken to the Allegany Hospital. He was in a dying condition and lived only a short while after being examined by Dr. Charles Zimmerman. His body was removed to the Stein Funeral Home. The officers said they found nothing in the shack that would indicate that Foutch had been drinking, nor were they able to detect the odor of liquor on him. Mooney Apparently Sober William J. Mooney, age 38 years, unmarried, died at the home of his parents, Andrew and Johanna Mooney, 1004 Grape alley at 10:30 this morning. According to a statement from Andrew Mooney, his son came home last night around 10:30 o'clock and was apparently sober. He made some comment to Mrs. Mooney, his mother, about some-one dying or some-one dropping along the "Tow Path" when he was on his way home. The family was not certain as to just what the statement was, and Mrs. Mooney could not be interviewed. Andrew Mooney was emphatic about his son being sober and stated. "When he came in last night I never dreamed he would be a corpse this morning". Mr. Mooney claimed that during the night he heard his son coughing and called to him asking if he "wanted anything". His son said "no", and Mooney claimed he did not know he was sick until this morning when he appeared worse, and a physician was summoned. The actual cause of the death is vague, and physicians state Mooney was dying when they arrived. It has been determined however that Mooney had been "down along the tow path with some of the boys" and it is possible that his death may have been due to poison liquor. According to advice received by local authorities, Mooney and Foutch had been seen together yesterday. Mooney is survived, besides his parents, by one brother, Michael, and three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Litton, Thomas street, Mrs. Julia Frame, Pioneer Place and Mrs. Johanna Thomas, North Centre street.

FRAZEE, Floyd N. (child)

Died, after an illness of only four days, Floyd N. [Frazee], son of Hamilton and Mary S. Frazee, aged nearly 3 years. Almost before the family and friends became aware that the disease had assumed a serious form he was gone. Being a child of unusual promise and such good health, his death fell heavily upon the familly and friends. Taken sick on Tuesday evening the disease at once assumed a serious form. So rapid did it do its work that on Saturday, just as the sun was sinking behind the western hills his spirit fled, taken away before his pure spirit became contaminated by the sins of a wicked world. We know that he has found a home among the bright angels above; yet he has left sorrowing and bleeding hearts behind. There are those who will miss his gleeful form, those in whose arms he used to nestle down to rest at the close of day, and those who will miss him on the playground. May He who looks down upon the marches of the stars, look down with a pitying eye upon the bereaved parents and friends, and soothe the aching heart and calm the troubled breast.

FRAZEE, Isaac

Death of a Prominent Citizen Died, Nov 27th 1881, near Speelman's Mill, two and a-half miles below Selbysport, Mr. Isaac Frazee, 79 years, 8 months, 24 days. (s/o Jeremiah and Elizabeth Frazee) My acquaintance with brother Frazee was limited, but I learn from those who knew him, that he was a good neighbor, a first class citizen and exemplified a good Christian character. It was clearly seen how highly he was respected by the large concourse of people that came to the funeral and followed all that was earthly of Father Frazee, to it last resting place, there to wait the summons from on high. Brother Frazee, was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, for forty years, and during the greater part of that time he was a member of quarterly conference. He is no more; the weary wheels of life stood still; he is released from the toils and ills of life, and enjoys the rest that remains for the people of God. While he left to his children some of this world's goods, he left them a legacy that is worth more to them than the riches of earth, a well exemplified Christian character. They appreciated his religious example, and followed Christ. They felt sad at parting with a kind father, but knowing he had lived the allotted time for a man to live, they realized that to die was gain for him. While they have lost a loving father he has gained his long sought rest. The funeral services conducted by the writer, assisted by Rev. S. E. Simmons, of the M. E. Church South.

FRAZEE, Noah

Noah Frazee [born 3/9/1873; son of Jeremiah and Hiley (Boyer) Frazee] of Blooming Rose section, was killed instantly (abt 8/2/1950) in a head-on automobile collision on route 40, east of Grantsville, on Sunday morning, about 8 o'clock. Frazee was enroute to a produce stand located on route 40 at the Finzel road, according to Walter W. Fearer, Friendsville, who was driver of the Frazee car. Savino "Sammy" Palumbo, highly rated jockey of the minor racing tracks, Charles Town, W. Va., posted $1,000 bond on a charge of manslaughter by automobile, State Police said. Palumbo was driving the car which stuck the Frazee machine. Trooper Glen Folk said Palumbo was apparently attempting to pass another vehicle at the top of a rise in the highway 5 miles west of Frostburg when the cars collided. Palumbo, who posted bond before Trial Magistrate J. U. Stanton, in Grantsville, told police he was enroute to Wheeling Downs Race Track. He was ordered to return for a preliminary hearing September 8. Dr. E. I Baumgartner, deputy state medical examiner, said Frazee suffered 'crushing chest injuries of the left wall, a ruptured lung and hemorrhages". Also investigating the accident were Sheriff J. S. Teats, State's Attorney W. Dwight Stover and other State Police. They said the victim apparently was thrown against the old-model automobile gear shift which was located in the middle of the floor. Neither Palumbo nor Fearer was injured. Trooper Blair J. Buckel said Palumbo was traveling west in a line of traffic and apparently attempted to pass the vehicle ahead of him as he topped the knoll. The car was "across" the midstrip on the wrong side of the road when the accident occurred, police said. Both cars were badly damaged and had to be towed from the scene. Frazee's body was removed to Rodeheaver Funeral home in Markleysburg Pa. (Burial was in the Blooming Rose Cemetery with his second wife Hanna Hook Frazee)

FRAZEE, Samuel, Sr.

"Died, on the 12th inst. (November, 1849), at his residence, near Germantown, Mason County, Ky., Mr. Samuel Frazee, Sr. [many Frazee researchers believe he is the son of Ephraim and Sarah – ((2nd wife)] Frazee) The deceased was born in November, 1753, and departed this life in November, 1849, giving a length of life of ninety-six years. After having encounted a border warfare in Western Pennsylvania and Virginia, he migrated to Kentucky in 1779, and was at the Falls of the Ohio at the original laying out of lots of the town of Louisville. He was sent alone at that point to Harrod's Station, giving important information that led to the convention of Col. Bowman's command at the mouth of the Licking. After the termination of that campaigne, he returned home, and again visited Kentucky in 1784, was associated with Col. Boone and Simon Kenton, and under the command of the latter, was in the action of Todd's Fork; and, having ventured freely in reclaiming this portion of Kentucky, settled finally in Mason County. The writer of this article has more than once listened to the recitals of Kenton and Frazee; for Kenton never failed to visit his old companion after moving to Ohio, and they fought their battles over again. In all the relations of life the deceased was strictly honest and faithful in their discharge. The deceased was long since, with wife and most of his children, immersed for the remission of his sins. One faith, one hope, one Lord, one baptism, were the cardinal principles that led him, on each first day of the week, as long as his health permitted him, to be seen wendling his way to the meeting house, and never was his seat vacant unless from stern necessity. The duties of parent were affectionately and faithfully attended to. He used neither liquor nor tobacco nor useless talk."

FREDLOCK, Mrs. Margaret Little

The people of this community were shocked when they heard of the sudden death of Mrs. Fred Fredlock, which occurred at Portsmouth, Ohio on May 2, 1903. Her husband who is the bookkeeper for the E.J. Fredlock Manufacturing Co. of this place, left Sunday night to attend the funeral. We will take the following from the Portsmouth Times: “In a spell of extreme despondency, Mrs. Margaret Fredlock committed suicide this morning under tragic circumstances. She viewed the circus parade from Little & Wilson’s office and as the rear of it passed, she apparently fell in a fainting spell. Efforts were made by those about to revive her and a physician was hurriedly called. When he arrived he found that the woman was dying from a dose of carbolic acid. She was taken to the home of H.T. Wilson and there the end came. Mrs. Fredlock was the daughter of Captain James Little and was a stenographer in the office of Little & Wilson. She leaves one child, a boy of 8. Mrs. Fredlock for many months has been afflicted with cancer and had undergone more than one operation for its cure. Nothing could stay its progress. The strain of this dreadful specter of death was always dogging her more than she could bear and under it her reason gave way temporarily and then came the fatal act.

FRIEND, Ira E

The Ex-County Commissioner Expired Last Friday at His Home Near Friendsville Ira E. Friend, a veteran of the War of the Rebellion and an ex-County Commission of this county, was born in Carroll County, Ohio, Oct 19, 1830, and died at his home at Blooming Rose on Friday last, July 27th, 1900, aged 69 years, 8 months and 8 days, after an illness of several months. The deceased was the son of Cornelius and Sarah Kemp Friend, who were among the first settlers of what is now Sang Run. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Carroll County, Ohio, where the subject of this sketch was born. When about fifteen years of age his parents returned to Maryland and at the age of 21 years the Cherry Hill tract of land, lying near Friendsville, was purchased upon which they made their home for a number of years. A young man, full of patriotism and in sympathy with the cause of the Union, Mr. Friend in 1862, offered his services in the defense of his flag. He became a sergeant in Company D, Third Maryland Infantry, which went from this section of the country, and was later promoted to orderly sergeant. After taking part in the various battles in which his command participated he was taken prisoner, with many of his comrades, at the battle of Harper's Ferry and was sent to the parole camp at Annapolis, MD. After his release from prison he reentered the army and was promoted to a lieutenancy. At the close of the war and after a service of four years, he was given an honorable discharge. The year following his return from the war Mr. Friend was married to Miss Clara B. Sisler, and their only son, Cornelius, named in honor of his grandfather, was born as a result of this union. The same year that he married Mr. Friend purchased a portion of the tract of land know as Blooming Rose and made his home there until his death. The farm comprising six hundred acres of well cultivated land, furnished a basis upon which Mr. Friend gathered around him all the comforts of life. In 1884 Mr. Friend was elected tax collector for the county and acquitted himself to everyone's satisfaction during the two years of his incumbency in office. In 1892 Mr. Friend was a candidate for the House of Delegates but was defeated by a small majority, his defeat being due to purely local issues. In 1894 he was elected as County Commissioner for a term of four years. Religiously Mr. Friend was a Methodist being a member of the Blooming Rose M. E. church for more than 27 years. A year ago he took an active part in securing funds with which to erect a new church at Blooming Rose, contributing liberally to the enterprise himself. Mr. Friend's funeral took place on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. R. Hennen, the new church edifice being packed to its doors by the friends and relatives of the deceased who was held in high esteem by all who were acquainted with him. The interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church. The Republican, Aug 2, 1900,

FRIEND, John

John Friend, the subject of this sketch, had for years resided near Deer Park, MD. Not much was known of this life outside of a small circle of friends. Disease took a firm grip upon the vitals of his being some weeks before his death and slowly but surely life's support gave way. The writer was summoned to his bedside and found him rapidly weakening. He says, "I want my peace made with God." The answers to questions showed serious thinking had been done for future preparation. The business matter between his soul and god was closed and by faith salvation became to his soul a sublime reality. He was exultantly happy and rested peacefully in the "Clefted Rock of Ages" until his death. His sons and daughter were present and were greatly rejoiced to know of his victory. He died March 18 in his 74th year. Was a kind father and husband. His wife, two sons and daughter remain to mourn their loss. In their said bereavement the family have the sympathy of many friends. J.H.F. The Republican, April 19, 1900 Died: March 18, 1900

FRIEND, Miss Lotta

Miss Lotta Friend died last Thursday at 12 o'clock at the residence of her mother, Mrs. Sarah Friend. The cause of death was consumption with which she had been ill nine months during which time her sufferings were intense. Until a few days before her death Miss Friend had hopes of recovering, but when told that death was coming she was willing to go, and on the Sunday before her death was baptized by Rev. Funk. From that time until the day of her death her suffering was intense and her many friends did all that lay in their power to ease her pain. At least the Angel of Death took pity and laid his finger on her so gently that she died like a little child going to sleep. The funeral took place Friday afternoon at two o'clock. The remains were taken to the Lutheran Church, where Rev. Funk conducted the funeral services, after which the funeral proceeded to the Friend cemetery where all that was mortal of Miss Friend was laid reverently and sadly to rest. To the bereaved mother, brothers and sisters the entire community extend their sympathy in their great sorrow, and would ask them to remember that "They can meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll, Where in all that bright forever, Sorrow ne'er shall touch the soul". The pall bearers were Misses Effie Enlow, Fannie Wolf, Prudence Rodeheaver, Edith Marville, Mae Wolf and Hallie Gilpin. M. - A. The Republican, Oct 26,1899

FROST, Thomas W

. The sudden illness of Mr. Thomas W. Frost, alluded to last week in these columns, terminated Tuesday morning March 10, 1903, in death. Mr. Frost was born at Shade Mills, Garrett Co. (then Allegany), October 19, 1844, and died in the homestead of his birth, aged 58 years, 1 month and 21 days. Of quiet, equable turn, he lived and wrought "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife," yet he was up-to-date in all his business operations. He came of sturdy stock on both sides, agriculturist all, and maintained the industry as well as integrity of his lineage. His mother's family were landed people, from whom to him and his generation of relatives the development of recent years brought wealth. In his care and under the stimulus of his diligence, these resources multiplied in value. Among his neighbors he was a business friend and oracle. His judgement was often sought and probably no man ever lost a cent who had followed his advice. Mr. Frost was a member of the M. E. Church many years - a liberal, cheerful giver to its support and a fathful communicant. In 1874 he became a member of Mountain Lodge, No. 99, A., F. and A. M. Though not often able to attend lodge, he valued its ritual and associations highly. He owned property in Frostburg and was further identified with business interests here as a director of the First National Bank. His wife, a half-sister - Mrs. Marian Broadwater, of Grantsville, and a half-brother, Charles W. Frost, are the immediate survivors of his family. The remains were interred in the William Frost lot, Allegany cemetery, Thursday, a few feet away from the inscription on a granite monument erected to the memory of his father: "William Frost Born March 10, 1817 ***** The First Male Child Born in Frostburg." It came to pass, therefore, that William Frost's first son died just 86 years after. The Free Masons laid the remains away with their usual ceremony in the presence of a large number of friends.

FULLERTON, Claude

Former Garrett Man's Body Found On Potomac Bank The body of Claude Fullerton, 34, of Washington, D.C., who had been missing since October 28, was found Sunday morning at ten o'clock after it had been washed up on the bank of the Potomac River, 40 miles south of the nation's capital. Mr. Fullerton, a step-son of John and the late Vera Sipe Fullerton, was born in Garrett. He and a friend, Walter Farrell, also of Washington, went on a fishing trip down the Potomac last October in Mr. Fullerton's motor boat. First reports received by relatives in Garrett indicated that the motorboat struck a sandbar, Mr. Fullerton was knocked overboard by the impact and drowned. But, when his companion told several ambiguous tales of the accident, the suspicious circumstances gave rise to investigations. When the body was recovered Sunday morning, it was reported by investigators that there was no water in his lungs, his clothes were not torn but his face was badly bruised and the back of his head was crushed. The body, which was held in Washington for an inquest, arrives in Garret this afternoon to lie in state at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Henry Weaver, until burial. Mr. Fullerton married Miss Alice Weaver in 1933, and the couple lived in Garrett until 1940. They then moved to Washington where he was employed by the United States government, stationed as a guard at the White House. When this job was given to World War II veterans over a year ago, Mr. Fullerton secured employment as a guard at the Potomac Edison electric power plant in Washington. He is survived by his wife and a daughter, Joanne, of Washington. Also surviving him are the following sisters and brothers: Mrs. Zelda Shaffer, Meyersdale; Mrs. Waneta Murray, Garrett, and John Fullerton, Rocky Mount, N.C. A brother, William, was killed in action in Germany in 1945. Funeral services will be held Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Lutheran Church, Garrett. The Rev. John C. Miller, pastor of the Evangelical Church, will officiate.

FULLMER, John A.

I noticed on your site about John A Fullmer son of George and Jennie (Green ) Fullmer. I am from the other side of the family and know that George Fullmer was an orphan and his father was John A Fullmer/Fulmer born in Fairfax VA., 1815. This man had many families which is the understatement. His father was also named John A Fulmer/ Fulmore in Fairfax VA and his father was Joseph Fulmore who was in Alexandria VA and one of the oldest residents and fought in the American Revolution. That’s our families brick wall. I am working on Church records in Alexandria VA and we will see what comes of this.

FUNKHOUSER, James H.

WARDENSVILLE, June 17 - Died at his home here Friday morning James H. Funkhouser in his 77th year. Mr. Funkhouser was in apparently good health up to Thursday night, when he went to his home about 8:30. He lived alone and about midnight he called a neighbor and sent him for the doctor and his daughter, Mrs. Kate Wilson, both of whom went immediately to the house, but not in time to render any assistance to the stricken man. Mr. Funkhouser complained of severe pains in the regions of his heart and was walking the floor of his room when the end came. He told his daughter (the only person in the room) that he could not stand the pain much longer and that was the last spoken by him. He kneeled to the floor and died before the doctor arrived. Mr. Funkhouser was an Ex-Confederate soldier, member of Co I, 33 Va. Regiment, and served throughout the war between the States. His sudden death was quite a shock to his many friends and to his 7 living children, scattered over the States of Md., VA. and W. Va. He leaves six daughters and one son, all of whom are married and came to attend the funeral.

FURLONG, James

Lost His Life at The Switch ~ Freight Conductor James Furlong Instantly Killed While Shifting Cars, His Foot Caught on the Frog - He Was Struck by a Truck and Almost Completely Disembowelled. An Inquest Deemed Unnecessary Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock Baltimore and Ohio Freight Conductor, James Furlong lost his life while at his post of duty. He was engaged in shifting cars at the Oldtown Crossing and while handling the switch, his foot caught in the frog. In trying to extricate his foot he no doubt slipped and fell on the track, one truck passing over his body, almost completely disembowelling him. He was instantly killed. Undertaker Baxter removed the body to his undertaking establishment where it was prepared for burial and taken to the late home of the deceased on North Mechanic Street where he leaves a wife and one child. He was about 32 years of age and was the son of the late Nicholas Furlong, watchman of the Second National Bank for many years. He leaves two brothers, Messrs, John and Joseph and one sister, Mrs John Humbird. Many were the expressions of regret heard on all sides particularly among railroaders. The train that killed him was drawn by engine 1059 and when the truck struck the unfortunate man, two or three cars were thrown off the track. When he was picked up one shoe was off and it is believed that he had extricated his foot and on doing so fell as stated above. Acting Coroner Charles R Morris viewed the remains and deemed an inquest unnecessary. The funeral for the deceased took place this afternoon at 3 o'clock from St Patrick's church. Interment in Saints Peter and Paul Cemetery . Find A Grave Memorial# 160834461

FURLOW, Mrs. Velma Ruey Ault

Mount Savage, MD - Velma Ruey (Ault) Furlow passed away with family at her side on Sunday, October 12, 2014, at her home in Mount Savage, Maryland. She was 90. Born on December 19, 1923 in Cumberland, MD, Velma was the daughter of the late Jacob Hillery Ault and Ardella Josephine (Cross) Ault Stein. She was also preceded in death by her husband of 68 years: Lester Furlow; her siblings: James W. Ault; Nevaline C. (Ault) Seggie; Jack W. Ault; Eva C. (Ault) Riggleman; and Paul George Ault; and her son-in-law: Calvin Leroy Nicol. She was the last surviving member of her immediate family. Velma attended schools in South Cumberland and Cumberland and worked in Baltimore at the Crown Cork & Seal Company of Baltimore prior to her marriage in 1943. Following Lester's enlistment in the Army, she traveled with him and worked at various jobs supporting the war effort. After his deployment, Velma spent several years working and living on her in-laws farm on Piney Mountain in Mount Savage. She was an employee of the Celanese Corporation and served as a school bus aide for students with physical and intellectual disabilities for the Allegany County Board of Education. Velma was an avid gardener, at times planting over 100 tomato plants. Her joy in harvesting tomatoes came second only to her annual watch in late April and early May for more mushrooms. She loved feeding and watching birds and inspired a love of nature in her daughters. She will be remembered for her warmth, patience, and sense of humor. Velma was a member of the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses in Frostburg, MD. The family thanks the wonderful caregivers from the Kingdom Hall who enabled her to remain in her home during the last year, including Candaci Nicholas, Colleen Lewis, Carla Donahoe, and Carly Alderton. We also thank those from Hospice Services of the Western Maryland Health System and the home health care aides who provided care and support. Velma is survived by her daughters: Janet Nicol; Judy Furlow and son-in-law, Von Pfeiffer; Rita Furlow and son-in-law, Loren Andrews; and her grandchildren, Aidan and Ella Andrews. Friends will be received at the Adams Family Funeral Home, P.A., 404 Decatur St., Cumberland on Sunday, October 26, 2014, from 3:00-5:00 p.m. A funeral service will be conducted at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, 11515 Davis Farm Land in Frostburg, on Monday, October 27, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. with Speaker Larry Nicholas presiding.

FURR, Raymond

Raymond Furr, twenty-four years old, and who worked at Franklin Mines, was instantly killed Saturday afternoon and three others slightly injured. It would seem that the unfortunate man with the others was dumping coal from a trestling, and that the latter partially gave way, throwing the car off the trestling and the men with it, with the result stated. Acting Coroner Korns was notified and went to the scene Saturday evening, but after hearing the testimony of several witnesses, deemed an inquest, unnecessary. Furr was unmarried and lived on Westernport hill.
