JACKSON, Homer

The body of Homer "Stony" Jackson, 24, of Frostburg, was found floating in Deep Creek Lake this morning about 70 feet from the shoreline near McHenry in 20 feet of water. James Morgan, of Carlos, who had been camping with Jackson and three other men at the lake, discovered the body about 9:30. Jackson had been missing since about 5 p.m. Wednesday and state Police and volunteers under the direction of Fred C. "Buck" Dreyer, veteran local waterman, had been dredging the area where he was last seen since that time. Jackson, former outstanding boxer in amateur circles in the late 1930's, went out on the lake in a boat about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, with Joseph F. Smith, of Frostburg, a member of the camping party. When they reached a point opposite the cottage of John Shober, of this city, Jackson told Smith he intended to swim to shore and plunged into the water. That was the last Smith saw of him, Smith rowing to shore and returning to the cottage. Jackson was reputed to be a strong swimmer. Smith, Jackson, and Warren Plummer of Wright's Crossing, and James and Frank Morgan, both of Carlos, had rented the cottage from Henry Yates, Frostburg. When Jackson did not appear for several hours, the other campers began a search for him. Later it developed that a waitress at the Point View Inn had remembered serving him a beer about 5 p.m. It is believed that Jackson returned to the water and drowned while swimming to the area of the lake opposite the cottage he and his companions had rented. Jackson is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eleanor Jenkins Jackson, two children , Judy, 2 1/2 years, and Billy, nine months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson, Welsh Hill, Frostburg; two brothers, Orville, with the Marines in the Pacific, and Merrell, with the Navy in the Pacific.

JAMES, Victoria "Vicki"

JAMESSON, Horatio Pemberton

THE LAST SLEEP: "As soon as we begin to live we all begin to die" was vividly.... Saturday night when it was announced that Horatio Pemberton Jamesson, son of Mr. J.S.Jamesson, had quietly and peacefully passed away at his residence on Westernport Hill. Mr Jamesson had been complaining for some time having been a victim of the grippe, though no danger was apprehended, but the sad and sudden death of his wife which occurred on Feb. 23 caused such a mental and physical strain on his constitution that he fell victim to typhoid fever, which baffled medical skill, death resulting at 7 o'clock p.m. March 7, 1891, aged nearly 30 years. Only a few days ago he was surrounded with a loving wife and two interesting children and fancy was wearing her brightest garlands and strewing before him. But alas! the brightest hopes must perish; and he was doomed to disappointment for in a few hours his loved companion was taken, claimed by death, and to him this world was naught but darkness. We are glad to say that the hope he entertained of meeting his loved ones in that home on high made his dying hours peaceful, and that he left evidence behind that he has gone to a home of rest and joy. By his death his two interesting boys, Herald, and Florin, aged about four and two years respectively, are left orphans, but fortunately in the best of hands. The funeral took place Monday at St John’s M.E. Church the pastor Rev C.H. Wood preaching an able sermon. It will be remembered that the third sermon preached by Rev Wood was that of Florin Jamesson, a brother of the deceased and this being his last sermon of the year makes a sad coincidence. The pall bearers were Messrs J.P. Tibbits of Barton; Thos Parker of Frostburg; Dr T.A. Cross; F.C. Jamesson; W.H. Fredlock; F.L. Fredlock; and J.C. Fredlock, all cousins of the deceased. His remains were laid to rest in Philos Cemetery, beside his wife.

JAMESSON, Mrs.Ella Glenn

That "in the midst of life we are in death" is seldom more painfully and suddenly realized than it was here Monday morning when the announcement was made that during the peaceful slumber of the Sabbath night that held the people in its gentle grasp, the spirit of Mrs. H. P. Jamesson, nee Miss Ella Glenn, had taken its eternal flight from earthly scenes of care and pain to a home of rest and joy, after a brief but painful illness. The funeral services took place Tuesday in St. Peters Catholic Church after which her remains and that of her infant babe were sadly and tearfully laid to rest in Philos Cemetery.

He quoted the man's daughter, Elizabeth Johns, 12, as saying she was alone with her father when he said he was going upstairs and end his life. Johns' wife, the former Miss Ruth Fram, told authorities her husband had been ill with a sinus condition and remarked last Saturday that he could stand the suffering no longer. Elizabeth, according to authorities, heard the shot, but did not take her father's threat seriously since he had made such remarks before and had also fired a gun in the house. However, she went to the home of a sister, Anne Johns, 18, of 75 East Main Street, where she met her mother and related what happened. The mother told police they went home and tried the bedroom door but found it locked and surmised that Johns was sleeping. About 10:10 p. m. she became alarmed and reported the incident to Officers Lloyd Truley and Donald Griffith, who went to the residence and forced the door. Johns, son of Mrs. Annie (Brode) Johns and the late John Johns, was found on the bedroom floor. Besides his widow and daughters, he is survived by a son, Harry F.

JOHNSON, Benedict A.

Funeral of B. A. Johnson. The funeral of Mr. Benedict A. Johnson, who died suddenly at his home on Thomas street Sunday night, as briefly noted in yesterday's Times , will take place Thursday morning at 9 o'clock from St. Mary's Catholic Church. Interment will be in SS Peter and Paul Cemetery. Mr. Johnson was 59 years old. He was born at Ellicott City, Md and came to Cumberland in the early seventies to work in the B. & 0. rolling mill. Later he took employment on the railroad as a brakeman and has followed that occupation about 27 years. For a number of years, he had been engaged attending to the switching of cars on the hump at Oldltown road and despite his 59 years was as active in getting over cars as the youngest brakeman. Mr. Johnson is survived by his wife, who was Miss Louise Dummel and nine children: Mary, Thomas, John, Agnes, Charles, Adelaide, Louise and Virginia Johnson, all residing at home, and Mrs. Annie Neuse, who lives on North Centre street. Mr. Johnson also leaves one brother in Salt Lake City, Utah, and two sisters, Mrs. Jno. T. Griffin and Mrs. Mary Bruce, of this city. Mr. Johnson's death was sudden and was a great shock to his friends here and elsewhere. He had filled the position of yard brakeman in the yards of the B. & 0. for a number of years and was very popular. He had been in the best of health apparently and after a day's work in the B. & 0. yards ate a bountiful supper and spent the evening with his family. Shortly before 11 o'clock he was "seized with a slight attack of coughing followed by a violent hemorrhage from which death resulted in less than ten minutes and before a physician could reach him. It is probable that Mr. Johnson's sudden death resulted from an internal injury which lingered with him for the past two months or since the time he was "caught and rolled" between two freight cars on the hump in the B. & O. yards near Oldtown road. He suffered much pain from the hurt at the time and many experienced railroad men who knew the circumstances of the accident marvelled at the fact that the injuries were not immediately fatal.

JOHNSON, Prof. H. H.

Prof. H. H. Johnson, who was stricken with paralysis more than a week ago, died Saturday afternoon. He had steadily been losing ground from the time he was stricken and his death was not [un]expected. In the death of Prof Johnson, Romney loses one of its best known citizens, a man who had not merely a state-wide, but a national reputation. Born in Pendleton Co, this state, in 1845, he received his early education in the Va. School for the Deaf and Blind at Staunton, and afterwards took an M A degree at a Va. college. Always enthusiastically interested in the welfare of those who, like himself, afflicted with loss of sight, he early began to attract public attention to their needs in the young state of W. Va.; and it was he who drew the bill establishing the Schools for The Deaf and Blind here in Romney, where he rendered faithful service as a teacher from the founding of the school to within a week of the day of his death, a period of forty-three years. He was also largely instrumental in getting passed through Congress a bill for the free transmission through the mails of literature for the blind. He was an active member of the American Assn. of Instructors of the Blind, and has attended most of the meetings of that body, frequently serving on its most important committees. Indeed his life is a splendid example for those afflicted like himself, in showing that the loss of sight is no insurmountable bar to a useful and inspiring life. He was a member of the Presbyterian church. In early life he married Miss Barbee, of Pendleton Co., who died leaving three children, William Terrill, Guy and Miss Leila Burns. He after married Miss Elizabeth Neil, of this locality, who with a son, George, and daughter, Miss Lucy N., survive him. Mr. Johnson’s death will be mourned and regretted by a circle of friends and acquaintances which will include persons in nearly every state in the Union. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church conducted by Rev. Dr. Brooke. Interment in Indian Mound Cemetery. Hampshire Review, Feb 11, 1913.

JONES, Miss Ruth Orpha

Ruth Orpha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, was called to her Heavenly home last Thursday, Aug. 3-1911. With the bereaved parents we weep; but not without hope; for we know if Christ was dead and is now alive so shall we live again in the next world. Ruth was called from her home at the early and tender age of 7 months and 4 days.... The little form, the wreaths of flowers, the hymns that were sung, the words that were said by the kind pastor, the little white clad pall bearers and the tiny grave in the Hamill cemetery all have put a feeling in our hearts that cannot be removed. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are both members of the Christian church and are widely known all over Blaine and Kitzmiller. They give kindness where it is needed and therefore receive kindness in their great sorrow. They have five children in Heaven waiting for them and one son and one daughter still to bless them. Namely, Ira and Georgia. May we all live so as to meet our loved ones there, for we will know that little Ruth is there for she was taken before the shame of sin could snatch her. In that harmonious song that was sung while the Angels were bearing our baby home.... The pall bearers were dressed in pure white and were all sweet little children, making it more touching, they are as follows: Isabel Tibbits, Lila Lemaster, Iva Murray, Leah Garner. Little Ruth was laid to rest to wake in an unending realm of sweet peace and harmony where all is happyness and no sorrow. May God bless you, my dear friends.

Respected Miner Had Been Missing From HOme For Nearly The Week Past Mr. Samuel Jones, 41 years of age, a miner, was found dead late Friday day[sic] afternoon within 150 yards of his home at Vale Summit. He had been missing for a week. When his body was found there were no indications of violence and $69.44 pay drawn last Saturday was found intact. It is believed that he fell over an embankment and being stunned by the fall died from exposure. The reason his body was not found is due, perhaps to the fact that the miners passing along the path near where it lay went to work before daylight in the morning and returned after nightfall. Mr. Jones was employed at the Hoffman mine. He is survived by a wife, son and daughter. The latter is married. Coroner W. H. Shaw and Sheriff James Corfield visited the scene and after an investigation did not consider an inquest necessary as it was evident that death was due to exposure.
