Mr Dunninghton was president of the Citizen's bank at his death, and was formerly one of the leading merchants of the city. Mr Hayden was at one time proprietor and editor of the Weston World.

HABERSACK, Mrs. Lorraine L. Clark (also children, Melinda and Gina Habersack)

A 25-year-old Bowling Green mother and her two young children were killed yesterday in a two-vehicle accident on Route 220 at the southern outskirts of Bowling Green. Dead are Mrs. Lorraine L. Habersack, wife of E. James Habersack, 397 Bowling Avenue, five-year-old Melinda and one-year- old Gina, who died in the emergency room of Memorial Hospital as a team of doctors worked to save her life. The mother and other child were pronounced dead on arrival at the local hospital. Members of the Bowling Green Volunteer Fire Company used an air chisel to remove the mother and two daughters from a foreign-make car which was rammed by a tractor-trailer rig of a Crites Transfer, 905 Glenwood Street. The driver of the rig, Richard E. Wiley, 21, of RD 3, Highland Drive, Cumberland, was examined at the local hospital and released. He was reported to be in a state of shock following the accident at 9:46 a.m. State Police said the Habersack car was headed south on Route 220 and was some distance behind a car being operated by Thomas E. Smith, 51, of LaVale. The rig was being operated north by Wiley who lost control of the vehicle on the wet roadway. The rig struck the left rear fender of the Smith car, spun around and slid over into the southbound lane and pinned the Habersack car against an embankment. An investigation is being continued, according to Trooper Larry Tracey, who said charges are pending. He was assisted in the initial investigation by Cpl. James A. Lough. The victims of the crash were taken to the hospital by the Cresaptown and LaVale rescue squads. Mr. Wiley had hauled a trailer load of insulation to the VEPCO plant in Mt. Storm and left the loaded trailer at the site and was returning to Cumberland in the rig at the time of the fatal accident, police said. A native of Barton, Mrs. Habersack was a daughter of Harry and Lois (Green) Clark of Barton. Besides her parents and husband, other survivors include a sister , Mary Jane Clark, Barton, and her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Clark, also of Barton. The bodies are at the Boal Memorial Chapel in Barton where friends will be received today from 7 to 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 to 4 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. A mass of the resurrection has been scheduled for Friday morning at St. Ambrose Catholic Church in Cresaptown.

HAHN, Mrs. Jane (Humbertson??)

Mrs. Jane Hahn, an aged pilgrim, departed this life on the evening of April 29th, in her 73 year. Mrs. Hahn was born Nov. 6, 1821, near Frostburg. About the age of 17 she openly confessed Christ and became a member of the Lutheran church. She had been a consistent member to the day of her death. She married the late John Hahn and moved to this county to live. She had been an invalid for more than twenty years, but through all her sufferings she never lost her child-like faith in God, but was constantly admonishing her friends and loved ones to live Christian lives. She seemed to live for the future alone, not desiring the goods of this world, but longing to depart and be with Christ. Her bible was her daily guide, and when too ill to read she would call her friends to read it for her. Her health through the past winter had been comparatively better than for years but suddenly she became ill and after intense suffering for twenty-eight hours she fell asleep in Jesus. Just before her departure when asked by members of her home if all was peace she said yes, and it was not as hard to die as she had thought. Just before her illness she spoke of her faith in her Savior and said it was only through His loving kindness she had been spared so long. She leaves four sons and three daughters to mourn her death, namely, Thomas and Scott, of Good Intent, Pa.; George Hahn of Pattan, Ala.; Isaiah Hahn, Mrs. V. B. Wensell, who has cared for her through her years of suffering, Mrs. Lydia Polan and Miss Sarah Hahn.

HAMILL, Charles H.

(abridged) The community was pained to learn of the death Wednesday morning at 6½ o'clock, at his residence, of Charles H. Hamill, an old and prominent resident of the town. He had been ill several months, gorwing worse under increasing complications of internal disorders, but it was only within the last few days that the manifestations of disease became premonitory of an early and fatal issue. Mr. Hamill was born in Cecil county, this State, January 10, 1822. He was therefore, 69 years old, less 3 days. He came to this county about 50 years ago and early took a practical interest in coal development. He was for a number of years superintendent of the Frostburg coal company, the pioneer company of the region, of which his father-in-law, Meshech Frost, was president. With Mr. Frost's death in 1863 the property was sold to the Consolidation coal company, Mr. Hamill settling up the extended business of the old company. Shortly after he organized the Spruce Hill coal company, whose operations he conducted about seven years. Later he originated and projected the development of the Grant coal, iron and lumber company. This terminated his interest in practical mining operations. In 1879 he was appointed by Gov. Carroll one of the Mine Commission, provided for by the current mining law, and had for his collegues Messrs. W. H. Smith, of Easton, and John Ryan, of Lonaconing, Md. More than a full share of the work performed fell to his lot, but he did it cheerfully, and it was ever a matter of regret with him that the findings and suggestions of the Commission were not fruitful of more good. In 1886 Gov. Lloyd appointed him Inspector of Mines to fill the unexpired term of Dennis Sheridan, deceased. He held this office a little over 18 months and gave its duties undivided thoughtful and intelligent attention. Of all who have held the position he was the best qualified. May 24, 1853, he married Catherine, third daughter of Mesheck Frost, who with four sons and three daughters, survives. The eldest son, Thomas H., is railway agent at Burnet, Texas; Charles H. and Mesheck P. are in Leadville, Col., engaged in mercantile pursuits; Mrs. Kate H. Dean lives at Trinidad, Col.; William, the youngest son, and Misses Lida and Anna, youngest daughters, are at home. The funeral will take place to-morrow (Sunday) morning at 10½ o'clock at St. Michael's church; interment in the Catholic cemetery. Without ever having been a practical miner, he was fully comversant with underground operations and technique. Next to his final request -- concerning his burial--he bequeathed to the JOURNAL all his mining memorabilia-- historical, statistical and expository-- collected within the half century of this region's operations "to the end," as he said , "that if there was any good in them it might live after him."

HAMILTON, William CONDRY, James BLANTT, Joseph KIGHT, EDWARD

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT AT WASHINGTON MINE No. 5 Three Men Killed and Thirteen Others Injured by Collision on Incline Early This Morning - Two of Latter May Die MEN WERE GOING UP PLANE TO WORK Special to the Times ~ Westernport, Md., Jan. 25 - A dreadful accident occurred at 6:30 o'clock this morning at Washington Mine No. 5 of the Piedmont and George's Creek Coal Co., near Franklin, Md., of which Mr. M. P. Fahey is superintendent, in which three men were killed instantly and thirteen others were badly, and one or two perhaps fatally injured. The Killed Jos. Blantt , Italian laborer William Hamilton , blacksmith, of Franklin James Condry , dumpman, of Franklin The Injured Kirk , a brakeman on the mine electric motor, injured in the arm and chest. He resides at Barton and will recover. Edward Kight , carpenter, injured seriously about the head. John and Louis Tucci, Italian laborers. Joseph hurt about the head, Louis in the legs and chest. L. C. Lambert , leg broken; resides at Reb's station, near Westerport. W. H. Smith , weightmaster, shoulder blade broken and injured in the back; resides at Reb's station.

Thomas Murphy , fireman, eyes and back injured. Escaped Injury Earnest Phillips and Clarence McAllister , both of Franklin, escaped injury. Murphy was on the descending loaded cars; the others were all on the ascending empties. None of the cars were thrown from the track by collision. How it Happened As stated, the accident happened on the incline plane during the first trip of the day. The ascending cars are always empty and they meet the descending loads at an automatic switch half way up the incline. Here, of course, if the switch is properly set, they pass each other, keep to the track to the right and there is seldom any difficulty in passing. William Stowell , a lad sixteen or seventeen years old, is charged with setting the switch, and it is thought that in some way he neglected to perform his duty properly and hence the trips collided while going at a high speed. The men were all riding up the incline on their way to work in or about the mines. Condry and Blantt were killed instantly. Hamilton died at 8:30 o'clock this morning. Father Quinn, of Barton, and Scarpatti, of Morantown, were quickly on the scene. Store Turned Into Hospital The injured in the mine accident have all been taken to Gannon's store at Franklin, which has been turned into a temporary hospital. All the physicians of Piedmont and Westernport are in attendance. Kight Has Since Died Since the above story was written Mr. Edward Kight has died. Mr. L. C. Lambert and the three Italians who were seriously injured were taken to the Hoffman Hospital at Keyser. Mr. Kight died at 12:20. The others who were injured were taken to their homes, none of whom were seriously injured. Mr. Lambert and the three Italians were reported in a critical condition at 4 o'clock.

HAMMER, Miss Sallie

Miss Sallie Hammer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Hammer of Great Cacapon, died in the City Hospital in Martinsburg, her death being caused by an attack of peritonitis. She was aged 28 years. Miss Hammer went to the City Hospital April 1, and was then in a critical condition. An operation was deemed imperative, and this was performed. Her condition, however, had been such that the operation proved unavailing and she died a few days after it was performed. The girl at first claimed she had no relatives or friends, but when it was found that she could not recover, she told Dr. Oates that her parents resided in Great Cacapon, a few miles west of Hancock. Letters and telegrams were sent them, and a short time before the girl died she was visited by her brother and sister, who went away afterward. The brother stated that the dead girl had been cast off by her parents, and that he did not expect any interest in the disposal of the remains. As a result, Undertaker Wilen, of Martinsburg, buried the body in Green Hill cemetery at the expense of the county. Mineral Daily News, March 8, 1913

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.

HARMAN, Alva G.

G. Harman, traveling salesman for the J. C. Orrick & Son Co., wholesale grocers, this city, was found unconscious under the trestling of the George's Creek and Cumberland Railroad, back of the plant of the Cumberland Ice Co., yesterday morning, about 9 o'clock. He was removed to the Western Md. Hospital where he died last night without regaining consciousness. It is thought Harman wandered in that direction and fell from the trestling and was stunned. His body does not show any injury other than the scratches on the knees and it is though death was due to exposure, the man having evidently laid out all night in the freezing atmosphere. Drs. Thomas W. Koon and William L. Burns attended Harman at the hospital. There were no marks at all on the head, and if there were any injury it might have been internal. An autopsy, which may be held today, would disclose this. Harman was a man of about 28 or 30 years and sturdy build. He came from Harman, W. Va., which was named for his family. He was unmarried and had a room at the Central Young Mens Christian Association here. About eight months ago, Harman underwent a serious seize of typhoid fever at the Western Md. hospital and later he sustained a badly injured knee in a runaway in the vicinity of Romney, W. Va., while on the road as a traveling salesman. His territory covered points in W. Va. The body of Mr. Harman is being held at the Stein undertaking rooms and its disposition will not be known until the arrival of his brothers some time today. -Cumb News of Dec 2.

HASKINS, Miss Mary Margaret

At an early hour Tuesday morning, Mary Margaret Haskins, aged 11 years, died at the home of Mr. and Mrs. I. D. Taylor, of Reese's Mill. She had been a great sufferer for several weeks of tuberculosis but was conscious to the last, talking to those around her bedside, telling them that "It is growing dark outside and I am nearly gone." During her illness she was baptized in the Methodist faith and requested that they bury her at Centenary Church, where she had been a diligent scholar in the Sunday School and was much devoted to her class. Mary was taken from the Fairmont home by Mr. and Mrs. Taylor about three years ago. She was a child of a kind and loving disposition and in this short time has made many warm friends in the community where she will be greatly missed, as well as the home. It was known for some time that recovery was impossible, but all that medical skill and loving hands could do was done to relieve her suffering. The funeral service was conducted Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. G. W. Yost, of New Creek, assisted by Rev. Wilson of Springfield. The choir who sang was composed of Misses Lillian and Harriet Rogers, Lena Dawson, Bessie Warnick, and Isaac Umstot and Earl Rogers, with Miss Mabelle Armstrong as organist. A large concourse of friends were in attendance and the floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was made in the Centenary Cemetery.

Two Drowned In Potomac ~ Boys Meet Their Death While Bathing Near Cumberland Special to the Washington Post ~ Cumberland, Md., June 30 - Joseph Hausman, aged fourteen years, son of William Hausman, a West Virginia Central car inspector, and Herbert Hausman, aged eleven, son of Jacob Hausman, of this city, were drowned this afternoon in the Potomac River while bathing. It is supposed that Joseph Hausman was seized with cramps and his younger cousin went to his rescue and the struggles of the drowning lad carried both of them down. The clothes of the two boys were seen on the bank of the river about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and the lads were not in sight. This led to an investigation, and Edward Borehead and John Libel dived and brought the bodies to the surface.

SHINNSTON WV - Leslie Hawker, a hardware merchant of this city, was instantly killed late this afternoon, when his touring car skidded on a slippery road a mile south of town and went over an embankment. The machine overturned and Hawker was caught under it and crushed to death. With him were two young men Paul and Thomas Harmer, and the former suffered slight injuries, while Thomas escaped without a scratch. Mr. Hawker, together with his wife and three children and the two Harmers, had been in Buckhannon Saturday and Sunday. Owing to the rain and muddy roads Hawker induced his wife and children to return to Shinnston by rail, and thus they escaped the tragedy that befell husband and father.

HAWKINS, Herbert

(see also GROVER & SHAFFERMAN) Two, one of Cumberland, were killed and a third so badly scalded that he died before he could be removed from the scene, in a collision between a light engine and a runaway string of freight cars on the B&O railroad at Rowlesburg, W. Va., seven miles east of Grafton, early this morning. Engineer Shafferman, of Newburg, instantly killed. Flagman Herbert Hawkins, of Springdale street, Cumberland, taken dead from the wreckage. W. A. Grover, of Newburg, fireman on Shafferman's engine, so badly scalded that he died at 12:40 o'clock, this afternoon. The flesh was literally cooked on Grover's body. The physicians feared to attempt his removal to the Grafton hospital, so he lay near the scene of the wreck until his death. When taken from the wreckage early this morning, physicians said Glover could live but a few minutes, but his wonderful stamina and nerve kept his alive for hours, though he suffered the most intense torments of pain. The three men constitute the crew of engine No. 1838, which was running light, carrying only a caboose. The engine was following a train up the grade, drawn by engines Nos. 1824 and 1844. It is thought that a coupling of the freight broke about 30 cars from the rear. The broken portion of the train did not hold its automatic brake pressure but started backward down the hill. The crew of the broken freight got to safety, but the men on the following engine had no warning until the runaway cars hurried into them, going at terrific speed. The 30 cars were badly wrecked, the locomotive reduced almost to junk and the tracks seriously damaged. The westbound track was opened at 11:30 o'clock this morning and the eastbound track was cleared at 1:20 this afternoon. A rigid investigation is already being pushed by the railroad. It is the worst wreck the B&O has had on the west end in years. No official report has been filed.

Morris H. Hawkins the subject of this sketch, was born June 2, 1849, near Mt. Jackson, Va., and died August 24, 1913, at 5 p.m. at his home in Frankfort, W. Va. He became a member of the U.

He had kept the faith and fought the fight and was prepared to go, only waiting the master's call to summon him home. His prayers had always been that he might live to see his children all able to take care of themselves. This prayer has been answered, and he had always prayed that they all might live faithful Christian lives and meet him at last over on the shore where there shall be no more weeping or sorrow. Mr. Hawkins had been ill for some time with consumption, but he bore his suffering patiently and often said, "I am ready to go. I wish I could go tonight." He was a devoted husband, an affectionate father and a loyal friend. He always took an active interest in church work, and for many years was Supt. of the Sunday School of the M. E. church, south. He was also president of the Epworth League. Mr. Hawkins is survived by his wife and the following children: Mrs. C. K. Welch, McMechen, W. Va.; Henry H., Red Bank, Pa.; Mrs. Thomas Keyser, Cumberland, Md.; Mrs. Cleveland Pyles, Patterson Depot, W. Va.; and Percy, at home; also by several grandchildren.

HEALEY, Dr. Patrick A

. Dr. Patrick A. Healey died at his residence on South Mechanic street at 2:50 o’clock Tuesday morning, He was in a semi-unconscious state when he died, and had been so for several days, though suffering no pain. An autopsy revealed the fact that death was caused by large internal tumor. The deceased was born in Longford Ireland, December 14, 1818, and was at the time of bis death in his 64th year. He came to America when a child, and received his education at St. Mary's College, Baltimore. While yet a youth he went West with his brother-in-law, Gen. Barry, and engaged in merchandising. He then came to Cumberland, where he studied medicine with his brother, Doctor Thomas A. Healey, and graduated at a medical college in Philadelphia. He returned about the year 1840 to Cumberland and began the practice of medicine, first alone, then with his brother, Dr. T. A. Healy, and latterly with Dr. S. P. Smith. During the war he served as assistant surgeon in the Second Maryland, Potomac Home Brigade. About 1856 he was married to Mrs. Gales, whose maiden name was Cross. He had eight children, only three of whom are now alive, Miss Lulu, Edward and Ella. Dr. Healy was well and favorably known to all our citizens. He possessed an exceptionally genial and sunny disposition and bad a smile and a pleasant word for all whom he met. His disposition matched his countenance and manner, it being kindly and charitable. It may be truly said that he was a good man, who will be greatly missed from the community of which he was so long been a useful and honored citizen.

HERR, Leonard

WELL KNOWN HERE ~ Leonard Herr, a Glass Blower, Found Dead in Baltimore. Monday's Baltimore American contains the following: "Coroner Edwin Geer will hold an investigation tonight, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Southern Station, concerning the death of the unknown white man found dead on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks at Cross and Hamburg streets early yesterday morning, as related in yesterday's American. The man was about five feet eight inches in height, wore dark clothes and a blue shirt, and had a light moustache. The body was discovered by the crew of regulating train No. 334 - John Parks, engineer; Lawrence Ford, conductor, and Charles Hepburn, brakeman. Superintendent Murphy, of the morgue found several papers in the clothes of the man which may lead to the identification of the body. One was a memorandum book, in which were the following addresses: "L. Herr, 499 James street, North Hamilton, Canada;" ". Conway, 96 Virginia avenue, Cumberland, Md.;" "G. Herr, 16 Grant street, Port Jervis, N.Y.;" and "John Rusler, yard-master, Cumberland, Md." A letter addressed to "Friend Lou," or "Lon," and signed "James M Conway," was also found in the clothes. This was dated: "Cumberland, February 23," and was in reference to the shipment of a box." Upon investigation by one of our reporters it was learned that the dead man was one Leonard Herr, who about two months ago was employed in the South Cumberland glass works as a gl ass blower. Herr was well known and liked among his companions and was an intimate friend of James M. Conway, of Virginia avenue. Herr went from this city to Baltimore and got employment with the Carr Lowrey glass works at Lowrey Station. His home is in Port Jervis, Grange county, N. Y., at which place his parents reside.

HILLEARY, Hon. Charles

Hon. Charles Hilleary, a well known farmer, stock raiser, and financier, of Garrett County, Md., whose home was about three miles from Gorman, shot himself in a meadow near his home Friday August 18, 1911. Leaving the house at 11 o'clock, he informed members of the family that he wished to see if the hay was ready to be hauled into the barns. Not returning for dinner, search was made and he was found about a quarter of a mile from the house lying under the branches of a tree with a felt hat he had worn rolled up to form a pillow for his head. In his right hand he still held a 38-calibre revolver. He had evidently lain down and shot himself above the right ear, the bullet emerging above the left ear. Mr. Hilleary owned one of the largest and best farms in the county, was a director of several banks, a member of the Masons and Knights of Pythias and was prominent in Republican politics in Garrett County, having represented that county in the state legislature. Mr. Hilleary left a widow and four children. Mrs. Hilleary was Miss Thompson. His funeral, which was conducted by the Oakland Masonic Lodge, was held Sunday afternoon and the body was buried in the Thompson cemetery. Rev. Watson, of Keyser, preached the sermon. Mr. Hilleary was 51 years old. No reason is assigned for the rash act, as Mr. Hilleary was in good financial condition and had a happy home. He had many friends in Mineral County who are deeply grieved because of his sad and untimely death.

HITCHCOCK, Lydia Humbird

Rites For Mrs. Hitchcock Scheduled For Tomorrow in the church she saw under construction nearly a century ago, funeral services will be held tomorrow at 2 pm. for Mrs. Lydia (Humbird) Hitchcock who observed her 109th birthday last August 3. As a little girl she helped with candy and fancy work booths, some of the funds needed for the construction of Emmanuel Episcopal Church on the site of Fort Cumberland. She remembered William Price, grandfather of Emily Post, who built the house on Washington St that is now the Lowndes House and who was a member of the Emmanuel parish. From Sunday until her death at noon yesterday, the oldest resident of the Tri-State and one of the oldest in the United States was unconscious. Active in keeping her own home on Fayette Street until she was passed 102, Mrs Hitchcock first showed signs of feebleness after an attack of pneumonia in 1943, the year she entered Memorial Hospital. Her birthdays were real occasions until she was past 107. On her 107th birthday, August 3, 1950, there were flowers and refreshments with relatives and close friends present in her hospital room. Her picture was taken by the Evening and Sunday Times photographer, the last ever made of her. The late President Franklin D Roosevelt wrote Mrs. Hitchcock a personal letter on the occasion of her hundredth birthday which she observed with much energy, greeting more than 100 callers and reading innumerable greetings and letters. Her last visit to the polls was in November 1944 when, at the age of 101, she voted for Roosevelt. Mrs. Hitchcock remembered the celebration here in 1850 to mark the opening of the C & O Canal. She was already 18 years old when the Civil War started, and recalled many incidents of that conflict between the states. Born August 3, 1843 in a log cabin at the head of Mechanic Street, she was a daughter of the late John L. and Sarah E. (McKee) Humbird. Her father served four terms as mayor of Cumberland. Her husband, the late Luke D. Hitchcock, died approximately 70 years ago. Survivors include a granddaughter, Mrs. Eleanor (Charles) Johnston, city; two nieces, Mrs. Lydia Sturtevant, city; Mrs. Walter Swartzwelder, McKeesport, Pa.; a nephew. William DeVries, LaVale; two great-grandsons, Charles and William Johnston, city, and numerous great nieces and nephews. So, tomorrow at 2 p.m. in the church she saw built nearly a century ago, the last rites will be conducted by the Rev. H. Maunsell Richardson for Mrs. Lydia Humbird Hitchcock whose life spanned more than half of Cumberland's 200 years of history. Interment will be in Rose Hill Cemetery. The body is at Stein's Funeral Home. — J.W.H.

HODEL, Charles

(abridged) Charles Hodel, publisher of The Raleigh Register and the Beckley Post-Herald and founder of Beckley Newspapers Corp., died at 1:45 p.m. Saturday in the Raleight General Hospital. He was 84. The prominent newspaperman and civic leader had been hospitalized since suffering a stroke on Feb. 5, 1965 and had been unable to communicate with family and friends since that time. The body was cremated later Saturday afternoon, according to his wishes, at the Keyser-Bryant Crematorium. The Ohio native, who became a West Virginian by adoption in 1912, was credited for much of this coal-rich area's development. His adopted state of West Virginia will be forever in his debt. Born of Swiss immigrant parents, Elizabeth (Zimmerman) Hodel and John Hodel, in New Philadelphia, Ohio, on Jan 13, 1889, he first came to West Virginia at the age of 18 as a salesman of books and patent medicines. His experience was brief, however, and at the end of 10 months Hodel returned to the printing field in which he had served an apprenticeship in Ohio. Since becoming managing editor of The Register in 1912, Hodel's influence has been felt almost everywhere in the newspaper's circulation area and far beyond it. Recognized as an outstanding West Virginia conservationist, Hodel began an editorial drive toward the practice of conservation in the slashed hardwood forests of West Virginia more than 40 years ago. Hodel has been called the "father of the Southern Soil Conservation District" and was a leader in introducing the Rural Development Council to the area. Outstanding in a lengthy list of successful projects he has espoused are the Raleigh County Memorial Airport, New River Park, and the Beckley Municipal Parking Lot. Highly respected, even though his views were not always popular, Hodel's advocacy of industrial diversification is now widely accepted and he has been in the center of numerous efforts to br ing new industry to the area. As early as 1919 he crusaded for establishment of a Chamber of Commerce and served a term as its president. As chairman of the Chamber's Airport Committee, he was instrumental in bringing flight facilities to the area, first with the Beckley-Mount Hope Airport........continues (pg 3) with more accomplishents.

HOFFMAN, Rev. Henry

The Rev. Henry Hoffman died at his home in Keyser Jan. 12, 1892 at the age of 77 years, 7 months and 15 days. The following tribute to his memory is from the KEYSER TRIBUNE : Rev Henry Hoffman is dead. With sincere regret the entire community hailed this sad intelligence. He passed peacefully away last Tuesday after a brief illness. Of his life a host of good things might be said and but little evil. Such was the life of this upright and pious man that his influence and acquaintance was felt like a benediction. We can say but little of him but what is already known and nothing that will add to his laurels. Rev Hoffman was twenty-one years of age when he was united with the church and gave his life to the cause of the gospel. In 1841, he joined the Baltimore conference under which he labored for nineteen years when he was by reason of failing health put upon the superannuated list. In Keyser, where he located 25 years ago he has made himself a strong support in the church and Sabbath school and his vacant place will be indeed hard to fill. His class in Sabbath school was his great pride and anxiety. From it his pallbearers were selected. The funeral took place Thursday and the body laid to rest in the cemetery. Rev Rumsey Smithson of Winchester, Va, pronounced the sermon. He left a loving wife, his helpmate through years of toil and two sons, Dr C. S. of this place and Dr O. H. of Thomas. 22 January 1892; Piedmont Herald

HOGAN, Thomas

The Disaster at Westernport - Further Particulars The two men, Messrs Thomas Hogan (not Mullan as erroneously reported by our Daily) and Thomas Moran, killed by the boiler explosion at Westernport on Tuesday were buried according to the rites of the Catholic Church in the cemetery of that denomination in Westernport Wednesday. At the time of the explosion, the engineer had his hand on the throttle of the engine and was in the act of starting from the yard. The indicator marked 105 pounds according to the dying statement of Mr Hogan who lived in great agony three hours after receiving his injuries. The explosion threw him with sufficient force against the front of Kildow's Hall to damage the framework of the building. Portions of his clothing were afterward found sticking to the front wall and marking the point of contact between his person and the house. He leaves a wife and one child in Piedmont, W Va. The fireman, Thomas Moran, was an unmarried man. He was thrown high in the air and falling downward came in contact with a fence over which his brains were scatted in all directions. Kildow's Hall, the building nearest on one side of the railroad, was considerably racked. The windows were demolished and the furniture of the Lodge Room badly damaged, the most of it being ruined by water, steam and fragments of the engine and boiler. The charts, pictures and etc of the different orders (we understand that seven different associations and secret societies used the room) were almost utterly ruined while the plaster was knocked down from the ceiling and walls in many places. The first floor which is used as a store was very little injured, the goods only suffering a considerable shaking up from the concussion. The Nesbitt residence, on an eminence about twenty-five yards above the railroad, and opposite Kildow's Hall was much injured by a piece of the exploded boiler which pierced the front wall. Greater damage would have been done but for the porch, which broke the effect of the missle. Among the many narrow escapes recorded is that of two little children in a house adjoining Nesbitt property. They had been looking from a window, and were called away a few moments before the explosion by their mother and just in time to escape a heavy fragment of the boiler which entered the window alluded to and passed through the house. The scene immediately after the disaster was photographed by a Piedmont artist. The wreck has been entirely removed and the injured buildings are fast undergoing repair.

HOLT, Elizabeth Ann Hager

The coroner's jury which investigated the death of Mrs Elizabeth Ann Hager Holt, aged 28 years, who died under suspicious circumstances yesterday morning about 8 o'clock at the Denver Hotel, Mechanic and Bedford streets, this city late last night, after a session of about four hours, at the Stein undertaking rooms, where the body rests found that the cause of death was morphine poisoning, self administered, and for motives unknown. State's Attorney Robb conducted the questioning of the witnesses. Brady Frill, of Durbin WVa, who had been placed in jail, pending the investigation, was released. He and the woman had been together and as Frill admitted that he was addicted to the use of morphine, when arrested, it had been thought best to hold him. Cumberland News of 4th

HOLZEN, Miss Mary

Gertrude WOMAN LEAPS TO HER DEATH ~ Body of Miss Mary Holzen Taken from River ~ MET DEATH BY DROWNING. Hunters This Morning Discovered the Body of a Woman Floating in the River Near the Blue Bridge—All Attempts to Resusitate Her Failed. The dead body of Miss Mary Holzen, a maiden lady aged about 51 years, was taken from thg Potomac river at the West Virginia bridge, about 6 o clock this morning. While no one saw the woman so far as learned at the bridge prior to the discovery of her body in the water, she is presumed to have leaped into the river from the bridge. About the hour referred to Mr. William McDermott was on his way to the home of Mr. Andy Minke, the latter residing near the bridge. when Mr. McDermott saw an object in the water, near to and about the middle of the bridge. What Mr. McDermott saw proved afterwards to have been the face of the woman, but he at first thought it was a duck and called to Mr. Mlnke to hurry up The two men were about to shoot, but after throwing a stone at the object, and the latter failing to notice it, Mr. McDermott got a boat and rowed out into the river, and was horrifled at finding the body of a woman, the onlv portion of which was visible from the shore, strange to say, was the face. Her dress no doubt caused the body to float. With the assistance of Mr. Robert Reed, engineer at the water works the body was taken ashore and Drs. Koon and White summoned, but all efforts to resuscitate the same failed. Mr. McDermott thinks he heard the woman moan when he first reached the body, which was later taken in charge by Undertaker Louis Stein. Got Breakfast. Miss Holzen lived with her two sisters, Misses Anna and Lizzie Holzen, and one brother, Mr. Henry Holzen, at 97 North Centre street. She arose early and got breakfast. After preparing the meal and placing it unon the table she must have left the house because she was not seen by any one when they appeared at the breakfast table. She was seen walking down North Mechanic street about 5 o'clock, presumably on her way to the river. The deceased was a daughter of the late Anthony Holzen, the well known blacksmith, who died about three vears ago. Beside the brother and sisters mentioned above. Miss Holzen leaves two other brothers, John, residing in this city, and George, residing in Pittsburgh. Miss Holzen, if as is supposed, she took her own life, she did so, while her mind was temporarily unbalanced. She lived happily with the rest of the family and having been left ample means by her father, had n o cause to worry, hence could have had no desire to end her life. Miss Holzen was most highly respected and the sad occurrence has caused much sympathy to be expressed for those who are distressed over the untimely end of the deceased. Acting Coroner Justice Jacob B. Humbird viewed the remains andafter learning the facts, deemed an inquest unnecessary. 17 November 1905, Cumberland Evening Times

HOLZEN, Miss Mary Gertrude

TRIBUTE OF RESPECT ~ To the Memory of Miss Mary Gertrude Holzen, Who Died Nov. 17, 1905 . The people of our city were shocked and hearts saddened on last Friday morning to hear of the sudden death of Miss Mary Holzen, daughter of the late Anthony[sic, Anton] Holzen. We say sudden because it came very unexpectedly, even though she had been in poor health for several years, yet not considered in a critical condition even by those most closely associated with her, as she was able to be around all the time and was engaged in her daily duties. She mysteriously strayed from her home unobserved and was found later floating in the river. All that loving hearts and hands could do to restore her was of no avail. Her spirit had already flown back to the God who gave it. Miss Mary was quiet and unassuming, possessed of a timid disposition, yet courageous for the cause of right. She was a devout member of SS. Peter and Paul's Catholic Church, and lived faithful in her vows; always at the post of duty unless detained by some cause that would stand the test in the day of final judgment. Her Christian character and practices all through life were such as endeared her to those familiar with her, and brought her their esteem and kindly regard. The funeral services were conducted from SS. Peter and Paul's Church yesterday, Nov. 20, 1905, and were largely attended. The many beautiful floral tributes place by loving hands showed the esteem of her friends. A solemn high requeim mass was sung by Father Mathias, assisted by Father Dominic and a ???? deacon. The pallbearers were as follows: Messrs. Wm. Mertens?, Henry W. Graber, Chas. Sanders, Robert Birmingham, Andrew Fesenmeir, Geo. Glick?, Hanson Seifers and Richard Coyle. Sympathy of the entire community goes out to the sisters and brothers in their late bereavement. It is a time when words fail and the pen falters to express our thoughts, and I commend them to Him who doeth all things well, and who only can give true comfort and whose grace is sufficient at all times. ---- A FRIEND Cumberland

HOOK, George & John

DUBOIS PA July 17 - The bodies of 21 victims of the mine explosion were taken from the workings at Sykesville today. The bodies were not burned or otherwise mutilated and it was evident that they died from after damp. G. A. Burrell, chemist of the bureau of mines car from Pittsburg[sic], took a quantity of blood from the body of each victim and will examine it to determine the number killed by the explosion and the number by damp. It is believed the explosion was caused when some miner struck a pocket of gas and it exploded from the naked lamp. The greatest mine disaster in this section of the country occurred last night at 9:30 o'clock in a shaft of the Cascade Coal and Coke Company at Sykesville, 9 miles south of Dubois, the lives of 21 miners being snuffed out almost instantly as the result of an explosion. Three sets of brothers and a father and son are included in the list of the dead. George and John Hook, brothers, were found clasped in each other's arms, as were also Nick Pavelick and his young son, aged 15 years. Nick Pavelick and his son were hurrying along together and, finding that death was inevitable, they embraced each other in a farewell and died while clasped together. The first intimation that the people on the surface had that an explosion had occurred was when the safety door on the fan blew open and the machinery began to run wild. It was immediately surmised that something was radically wrong in the shaft, but the extent of the disaster was not known until 11 o'clock last night, when the rescuers entered the mine.

HORCHLER, Clarence W.

Mr. and Mrs. George G. Horchler, of 106 East Cherry street, received the sad message from the War Department, Monday afternoon, stating that their son, Second Lieut. Clarence W. Horchler met death in an accident on June 10, in the Pacific area. Details of the mishap which brought death were not given in the message, which came from Adjutant General Ulto, of the U. S. Army, but further word is expected to be received in the letter. Lieut. Horchler, who was 19 years of age, graduated with the June class of 1941 at Senior high school, and entered the aviation branch of the army in April 1942. While a student in high school he was very popular with his fellow students and active in his class. He was commissioned in February, 1943, and left for service in the Pacific area as pilot of a pursuit plane, in March, 1943. During the time he was in service, he was never granted a furlough, and had not been home since his enlistment 14 months ago. Although the location of the scene of the accident was not given, the last word the parents had from their son was that he was located in the Hawaiian Islands, and it is presumed that it was there that he met his death. In addition to the parents, George O. and Beatrice W. Horchler, h e is survived by two brothers, both of whom are in service. 2nd Lt. George R. Horchler is stationed at Lake Field, Ariz., as flight instructor, and Yeoman 2 c William Horchler, of the U. S. Navy, is stationed at Altoona, Pa.

HOTCHKISS, Dr. George

Our little town was brought into commotion Saturday morning by hearing the sad news of the death of our young and thoughtful physician, Dr George Hotchkiss. He left his home about 7 o'clock on horseback and rode over as far as Snyder's store and tied his horse. He went over to the dump and boarded the Potomac engine and rode as far as the bottom of the plane, got off and went to see a patient, after waiting awhile he thought he would walk up as far as the watering station, and while doing so, fell breaking his neck. Nobody saw him fall. His body was brought to his home. Eighteen months ago he was wedded to Miss Lizzie McLeyna by Rev. T.S. Dewing at the home of her sister Mrs. John Somerville. They lived in the house occupied by the late Dr. G.E.R. Owens and was fixed so comfortable and lived so happy together. Little did he think when he said good-bye that he would be brought home to his dear wife a corpse. And his sister who came on the half past five train on Saturday evening thought he would be to meet her, but instead of that to be brought in and shown his icy face which will never smile again. Dr. George Hotchkiss was born at Linden, Va and was 29 years, 10 months, and 21 days old.

He attended school at Linden for a number of years after which he attended the Baltimore University, graduating there with the highest honors in 1887.

HUBBARD, T. H.

Engineer T. H. Hubbard, about 55 years old, was killed, and Fireman A. Myers was badly injured when a Western Maryland railway engine rolled over an embankment at Haddix, on the Elkins division, last night. This was the second fatal accident in this division in two days. Both men lived at Elkins and were taken there after the wreck, Hubbard to his home and Myers to the hospital. A report from Elkins today says the condition of Myers is not serious. Singularly none of the cars followed the engine off the track. The train was westbound and was about 10 miles from Elkins when the engine jumped the track without warning or seeming cause. It chanced to leave the rails on the embankment and rolled, crushing engineer Hubbard to death. About 30 miles east of the site of this fatal accident, Albert Robinette, a painter, of this city, lost his life Friday. Cumberland Times of 17th.

HUMBERTSON, Asa

Special to the Washington Post Oakland. , Md.. June 7. — Asa Humbertson, aged 50[?], farmer, of near Blooming Rose is dead from over exertion while assisting at the fire which destroyed the home of C. W. Friend. Mr. Humbertson was heard strangling, and he died in half an hour, before a physician could be summoned. The Washington Post, Sunday, June 8, 1919 Charles Humbertson

HUMBERTSON, Charles

Lonaconing Bureau, "Mr. Chas. Humbertson was killed by engine No. 19 about 1:30 a.m. yesteday on the C. & P. Railroad, near Pink Row. Acting Coroner C. S. Murphy summoned a jury of inquest, composed of the following gentlemen: Wm. B. Bradley, foreman; Lloyd Durst, Jas. B. McAlpine, Andrew Spier, Peter McFarland, Daniel J. Murphy, Patrick Mansfield,, John Heron, Wm. Relber, Wm. Travis, Jno. Smith, D. R. Sloan. The jury viewed the remains and adjourned to meet in C. S. Murphy's office at 7 o'clock to hear the testimony of witnesses. Mr. Wm. Whitefield and J. N. Howard testified that they passed the point where the man was killed a short time after 1 o'clock a.m. and did not know that anything had happened until they reached the Georges Creek mine where they were informed that their engine had killed a man at Pink Row. Dr. J. O. Bullock examined the remains and found [the] body cut in two just above the hip bones. Found no bruises, except a slight wound on the right arm and one on the scalp, neither of which would have caused death. The doctor's testimony clears away any suspicion that Mr. Humbertson was dealt with in a foul way, and the body placed on the track to hide the crime. Mr. David Creighton testified that he was with Mr. Humbertson from 7 p.m. until 12:30 a.m. and separated from him at Love's corner, and that while Mr. Humbertson had several drinks of beer while in his company, he was in a condition to take care of himself; that he had no quarrel with any one; that he had no enemies, so far as he knew, who would molest or waylay him. Lawson Creighton testified in a similar way, and corroborated the testimony of the former witness. John Rankin testified that he was with Mr. Humbertson from 8 p.m. to about 12:30 a.m. and separated from him at Central School, when Mr. Humbertson crossed the bridge, at that point on his way home; that Mr. Humbertson was able to take care of himself; that they parted in friendship and that no enemity[sic] existed against Mr. Humbertson, so far as he knew. Jno. Rankin corroborated the testimony of his brother. Bailiff Thos. Allerdice was talking to the deceased on Main street about 12:30 a.m. and advised him to go home; but he was not drunk, but was able to take care of himself. D. A. Edward, agent for the C. & P., testified that the night operator reported the train that killed Mr. Humbertson as extra east No. 19, at Lonaconing at 1:24 a.m. The verdict of the jury was that Mr. Humbertson came to his death by engine No. 19, of the C. & P. R. R., at Pink Row crossing, and that it was an unavoidable accident, and exonerated the company from all blame." August 25, 1905, The Cumberland Evening Times Funeral Card

EXPLOSION WRECKS CUMBERLAND HOME ~ Two Children of William Humbertson Killed by Collapse of Front Wall Special Dispatch to The American Cumberland, Md, October 20 - Virginia, 12 years old, and Melvin Woodrow, 2 years, children of William and Ellen Humbertson, were killed this afternoon by the collapse of the front walls of their home on North Centre street, near the Cumberland Electric Railway car barn, from an explosion of gas. The father, who is one-legged, says he had opened a closet door to procure a pair of pincers when the fumes shot out and ignited from the coal stove. The girl was holding her little brother in her arms at the front window. The children had been ill and had only recently left their beds. Humbertson was badly burned about the face, hands and body. He was given attention at the Western Maryland Hospital. An infant, two months old, in a baby buggy in the room was uninjured. Three children with their mother in the kitchen escaped, while two other children were out. The family consisted of eight children. The explosion wrecked the front of the house and blew furniture out into the street. The interior was rent? and what furniture remeained insie was badly broken. Windows in many houses in the neighborhood were broken. The noise from the explosion was heard over a greater portion of the city.

He declares that escaping gas in the rear of th e premises had caught fire a few days ago. Gas pipes run along with a sewer under the house, it is said. Members of the family said that they were hardly able to sleep because of the odor. While bricks were still falling, Francis J. Drum, Washington, who is home on a visit, and his brother, James L. Drum, rushed in and recovered the mangled bodies of the children. Baltimore American 21 Oct 1918

WORLD'S OLDEST BANK VICE PRESIDENT DEAD ~ Uncle Tommy Humbertson Dies At Frostburg; Lived Nearly A Century In Allegany Cumberland Md., Feb. 25 - Thomas Humbertson, who was born in June, 1819, died last night in Frostburg. He was vice-president and director of the Citizen's National Bank. He attended the meetings regularly, almost up to the time of his death and is said to have been the oldest bank official in the world. Born In Log Cabin He was born in a log cabin built in 1754, in a wilderness where Woodland, this county, now stands. He was a carpenter and later engaged in the manufacture of firebrick at Frostburg with L. M. Gorsuch of Westminster. He was the main supporter of the First Methodist Episcopal church of which he was a member 81 years and a class leader for 75 years. In his boyhood days he walked to church through primitive forests infested with wild animals. His grandparents were driven from this country to the Eastern Shore of Maryland by Indian raids. But they returned later. He remembered well experiences as related by his grandparents going back nearly 200 years. Drank Brandy in Younger Days. He never indulged in intoxicants except for apple brandy in his younger days and had not used toba cco for 41 years. He attributed his longevity to early rising and to the fact that he took care of himself on account of not having been robust in his boyhood. He was a great exponent of the simple life. He was twice married and survived both wives. His niece, Mrs. Martha Roberts, kept house for him. His mentality was undimmed to the last. The Frederick (MD) News-Post, Wednesday, February 26, 1919
