KANTORROVITZ, Mrs. Lena

Death of Jewess The remains of Mrs. Lena Kantorrovitz arrived here at noon Tuesday for interment in the Hebrew cemetery. Friends were under the impression that the body could be interred immediately, but Undertaker Butler could not secure the necessary permit to have the grave dug in time for the interment Tuesday and the funeral took place Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Mrs. Kantorrovitz died of pneumonia after a short illness at her home at Kitzmiller, Md., near Blaine. She was the wife of Harry Kantorrovitz, a well known man of that section. Besides her husbad she is survived by six sons, Jacob, Abraham, Samuel, Oscar, Reubeb, Nathan, and two daughters, Anna and Dora. All the family accompanied the remains here and were greatly disappointed when they learned that the remains could not be interred until Wednesday. The same rites that were carried out in the days of Jerusalem are being carried out in the interment of the corpse. No casket enfolds it and no fine fixings were provided, but it lies cold and stiff in a winding sheet and was taken to the grave with sorrowing children following it Wednesday morning. The rough box ued[sic] for caskets was carried in Butler's hearse and the interment was strictly according to Jewish customs. The Rev. Rabbi M. Baron of the Jewish Synagogue here officiated at the service and offered a few words of consolation to those who were nearest and dearest to the deceased.

KARP, (child) Coleman

EIGHT CASES PARALYSIS - Three Victims of Infantile Disease in Somerset County Have Died. Infantile Paralysis claimed another young life in this region Sunday. In addition a sudden outburst of the disease at Confluence in this county resulted in an extra ordinary joint meeting of the board of health and the borough council Sunday afternoon. As a result of the session, a rigid quarantine on all children in the borough for the next two weeks was ordered. All little ones are to be kept on the premises of their parents and all churches, Sunday Schools and other assemblages are to be closed until the quarantine is lifted. The little chap, who died is Coleman Karp, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. David Karp of Barnesboro. He died at 4 o'clock Sunday morning after three days' illness. The child suffered from what is known as ascending paralysis, which begins in the feet and successive limbs until it reaches the vitals. The child died when the respiratory and cardiac centers in the medulla oblongata were paralyzed, making respiration and heart action impossible. The remains of the child were taken to Johnstown in an auto hearse and were buried in the Hebrew Cemetery at Giestown. Five new cases developed Sunday at or near Confluence, as follows: Ruth, seven-month-old daughter of Arch Kennedy of Dumas, a village near Confluence; James, two-year-old son of Frank Havner of Confluence; May, three-year-old daughter of C. A. Cunningham of Confluence; Vincent, four years old and Eva, three year old children of Albert Hyatt of Confluence. The Fox children, who first became ill at Confluence, re turned Sunday to their home in Conshohocken, Pa. The situation in Cambria and Somerset Counties, outside of the places named, is said to be unchanged. Elsie, the eight year old daughter of W. A. Bird, of Listonburg died yesterday after only one day illness. There have been in the past few weeks in all thirteen cases of infantile paralysis in Somerset County.

KEAN, Daniel

DEATH OF MR. DANIEL KEAN ~ HE WAS ONE HUNDRED AND ONE YEARS OF AGE AND THE LAST OF SEVERAL BROTHERS. The Oldest Man in Cumberland So Far as Known-A Long List of Relatives Survive. Mr. Daniel Kean, supposed to be the oldest man in this city, died yesterday afternoon at his home on North Centre street after an illness of some weeks, due to his extreme age. Mr. Kean was 101 years of age. He was a native of Ireland and came to this country many years ago. In his active days he followed various employments in this vicinity and for a number of years, in the prosperous days of the C. & O. canal, Mr. Kean worked on Lynn's wharf. After the abandonment of Lynn's wharf he worked for several years on the basin wharf. Some 5 years ago he suffered an injury to one of his limbs in a railroad crossing accident and after, that he was unable to follow any employment. Mr. Kean was injured at the Harrison street crossing of the B. & O. by a shifting engine backing down upon him. Strange as it may seem that only a few hours after his death a woman was killed in very much the same manner as Mr. Kean was hurt on the very next crossing to the scene of Mr. Kean's accident. In his healthy, active days Daniel Kean was an industrious man whose companionship was very entertaining by reason of his jolly manners and steadfast devotion to his friends. He was the last of several brothers, who were well known citizens of this community. They were Messrs. John Kean, Bartholomew Kean, Patrick Kean and Anthony Kean. Mr. Kean leaves one son, Patrick Kean, of Versailles, near McKeesport, Pa., and one daughter, Miss Maria K ean, who resided with her father. He was the uncle of Mayor George A. Kean, superintendent of the Water Works, Thomas S. Kean, and ex-Postmaster Daniel E. Kean, and is survived by a large number of relatives in this vicinity. The funeral of Mr. Kean will take place tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, with requiem mass at St. Patrick's church.

Mrs. Kelley was born in County Monahan, Ireland, May 14, 1833, a daughter of Patrick and Sarah McMahon. When she was 17 years old her family came to this country, settling at Tunnelton, W. Va., where her father was engaged in pioneer railroad construction. The deceased was married September 9, 1854, at Parkersburg, W.Va., to James Kelley.

KELLEY, Peter

(see also KELLY) (abridged) PETER KELLEY FOUND DEAD ~ He Was Division Superintendent on the C. & 0. Canal. DEATH CAUSES A SHOCK. He Was in Good Spirits Yesterday and Went to Bed on the Company's Boat Seemingly Well ~ This Morning He Was Found Dead in Bed This community was greatly shocked when it became known that Mr Peter Kelley had been found dead this morning at 6 o'clock. Mr Kelley was division superintendent of the Chesapeake and Ohio canal, his territory extending to dam No 6, a distance of 50 miles. In fact he may be said to have been raised along the canal. He came here when quite a little boy, and as soon as he was old enough went to driving mules on that waterway. He was later made captain of a boat and boated several years between this city and Georgetown. He was next made section boss and after the Johnstown flood was made division superintendent which position he held up to the time of his death. Mr Kelley was on the streets here yesterday and those who talked with him state that they never saw him in better spirits. Repairs are being made to one of the culverts on the canal about five miles below this city and Mr. Kelley was superintending the work. He came up in town yesterday after some cement. He went to his home on the Oldtown road, got his dinner and left at three o'clock, steering the mud scow that carried the cement to the place where it was needed. The company's boat is stationed at the aqueduct, four miles east of here. Mr. Kelley and the men who worked with him returned to the boat at 6 o'clock last evening, ate their supper, after which Mr. Kelley talked with the men in a jovial way until bed time, when he retired to his bed on the boat. It was his custom to rise at four o'clock in the morning and as he did not do so this morning, some one was sent to call him, when it was found that he had died during the night. He was lying upon his left side. He was subject to severe attacks of asthma and it is thought that he choked to death. As soon as it was learned that Mr. Kelley was dead the coroner went to the scene and viewed the remains, after which they were taken in charge by Undertaker Stein, who prepared the body for burial after which it was removed to the late home of the deceased. Mr Kelley would have been 68 years of age had he lived until the 14th of next month. He was elected to the City Council on the Democratic ticket from the sixth ward, serving three terms in that body. He was a great friend of the late Senator A. P. Gorman and one of his most ardent supporters in the days when Mr. Gorman had to fight manfully to retain his supremacy. The deceased was also a member of the South Cumberland Volunteer Fire Co., having been one of the organizers of that company. He was a life long member of St Patrick's church. He is survived by his wife and the following children: Edward of Woodward, Ga, Robert, James, John and William Kelley. Mrs Ellen Hillary, Mrs Kate Miller and Miss Lena Kelley, all of this city.

KELLY, General Benjamin Franklin

General Benjamin Franklin Kelly, the hero of Philippi, died at his home at the Swan Meadows, near Oakland, July 16, 1891. He was 84 years old and was born in New Hampshire. His remains were interred at the National Cemetery at Washington D.C. between Generals Crooks and Philip Sheridan. It is stated that Gen. Kelly was the first to organize a Union company south of the Mason Dixon's line. He was the first officer wounded in the late war, which was received in his right lung at the battle of Philippi, June 3, 1861. This was the first battle in the Civil War, being fought by the First Regiment, West Virginia Infantry. Gen. Kelly's headquarters were at Cumberland. Many an old comrade will read the news of the General's death with mingled feelings. He was well known at Keyser, his name being a household word in the county during the war. One of the scenes of Gen Kelly's military experience and not the least exciting either were on the 21st of February 1865, when McNeill's rangers affected an entrance into Cumberland and captured him and Gen. Crooks. The Generals were taken down the tow path by way of Wesley's ford, to Romney and then to Richmond. They were exchanged shortly afterwards. Several of our leading citizens in this county were in that adventure, among whom were Isaac E. Oates, of Elk Garden; W.H. Poole, of Blaine; and Dr. John Daily of this place. There were about sixty rangers with McNeill and at the time, about 12,000 troops occupied Cumberland. It was one of the most daring deeds of the late war and was accomplished without the loss of a man .

KIGHT, John

John Kight, of Trotter, Killed Between Cars ~ Fellow Workmen See Accident Impending, but Do Not Realize Its Gravity, - When They Go To Rescue Victim Is Found To Be Dead ~ Coroner To Investigate Caught between an empty and a loaded pit car i the Trotter mines yesterday while perfoming another's uty, John Kight, aged 62 (?52), for 15 years boss driver in the Trotter mines and for about 25 years an employe at the mines, was killed. His abdomen and chest were so crushed that death was instant. When one of the loaded cars that was slowly drifting towards the bottom of the shaft was thrown off the track as the line of cars hit the heavy wire rope that had fallen across the mine track, Kight attempted to get the car back on the track. He hust had taken hold of the car when it was hit by the other cars that drifted slowly in that direction. That contact threw the car against which Kight was pushing, almost half way across the track and crushed him against the side of an empty dcar standing on the adjoining track. Several men, who had worked with Kight for a number of years, were witnesses of the accident, but it hajppened so quickly that they were unable to render assistance., The cars were running so slowly that they did not believe that the crash was sufficient to place the car in the shape that it did. They saw the life crushed out of Kight and went to his assistance immediately. When the cars were lifted to one side, Kight's lifeless body dropped to the ground. A physician was called but his services were not necessary. The remains were removed to Stader's(?) morgue in Connellsville and will be taken to Piedmont, W. Va. for interment. A boy had been employed in the mines to watch the cars in case of an accident such as occurred yesterday, but for some unknown reason Kight did not wait for the boy to perform the duties assigned to him. Coroner Harry J. Bell was notified of Kight's death and after an investigation decided to hold an inquest, the date of which has not been set. The following members of the coroner's jury was selected by Coroner Bell: J. L. Evans, W. F. Shotts, W. J. Baer, H. G. Berlin, J. G. German and I H. Prinker.

KILCOIN, Bartholomew

South Cumberland, Monday ~ Mr. Bartholomew Kilcoin died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs Bernard H. Doll, 92 Elder street, where he had been making his home for several months past. Mr Kilcoin was 85 years of age and was a man well known and much esteemed throughout Allegany county, having resided in this vicinity for more than fifty years. He was born in County Sligo, Ireland, and left his native county to settle in the United States in 1849, coming across the Atlantic. Mr. Kilcoin endured trying experiences of which he often spoke to his associates later in life. The vessel in which he sailed was shipwrecked and he was ten weeks and three days on sea and during the greater part of that time neither he or his companions expected ever to see land again, It was in [the] month of January 1850 when he reached New York. Shortly afterward he came to Cumberland, the farthest point westward reached by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in those days. Mr Kilcoin first found employment upon farms in the Murley Branch Valley and later went to the estate of Mr. John H. Piper at Flintstone, where he remained three years. In March, 1855 he sent to Ireland for his wife and child Luke Kilcoin, who was born during his absence. For several years afterward Mr Kilcoin was employed in the old Flintstone tannery, then in charge of the late Col Charles Gilpin, and upon leaving that industry leased the farm of Dr T. P. Robossoson in that district and spent the remainder of his active days chiefly in agricultural pursuits. In August, 1864, Mr Kilcoin returned to Ireland with his family. He returned to Cumberland in April 1865 and rented the Whalen farm on the Baltimore pike, now the country place of Mr C. L. Bretz, where he remained four years until he purchased the Mrs Farrell farm on the Williams Road where he resided until declining years caused him to retire from active work a few years ago. Mr. Kilcoin was an ardent, enthusiastic Democrat, who never missed casting his ballot at election time, although he never thought of seeking office. His first vote was early in the civil war, when soldiers guarded the polls. Mr.

Kilcoin's wife died in October 1890.

KIRBY, John Randolph, Jr.

It is with deepest sorrow we chronicle the death of John Kirby which occurred at East Springfield. O., Oct. 8, 1918. His death was due to typhoid-pneumonia, being sick only ten days. Death is a visitor that will knock at the door of every home sooner or later. To this young man it came just when life was so sweet and promising. It is so sweet to live in this world that God has made so beautiful, to mingle with those we love, but when the voice of "The Father" speaks and says "It is enough", we can only say, "Thy will be done." John was a man of many noble traits of character and one who was devoted to his home. He was very considerate and thoughtful as to the comfort and welfare of his wife and little daughter. He was a member of tho United Brethren Church of East Springfield, and will be missed in the Sabbath School, especially by those of the Men's Bible class of which he was a faithful member. His work is finished, leaving bereaved hearts. He will not only be missed in the home but by his friends and fellow workmen as well. It is one of the mysteries of an all wise Providence, which sometime, somewhere we will understand. One by one, we are passing down the valley, but beyond this vale of tears there is the hope of an eternal home where we will meet the dear ones gone before, and where we shall know as we are known. How sweet the thought, that we shall meet again. Services were held at the home Thursday afternoon at two o'clock, being conducted by his pastor, Rev, Halterman. His body was laid to rest in the village cemetery neath a mound of flowers, which were given by his fellow workmen, friends and Sabbath School as a last tribute of respect to one they loved. John Kirby was born in Frostburg, Md., Jan. 15, 1890. He was married to Ella Orr Nov. 23, 1912.

A Remarkable Old Lady Borne to Her Final Resting Place The funeral of Mrs. John Kirby, whose death occurred at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Fitzgerald, near Vale Summit, Wednesday morning, as noted in the Times, took place yesterday morning from St. Michael's church at Frostburg. The interment was in the cemetery connected with that church. The following were pall bearers: Michael O'Rourke, Michael Sullivan, James Scally, Henry Kain, Michael Condon and Thomas Condon. Mrs. Kirby was a very old lady and was at the time of her death one of the oldest, if not the oldest, woman in Allegany County, being ninety-one years of age. For sixty-three years she had been a resident of this county. She not only had a large relationship, but an extensive acquaintance throughout this section. A remarkable thing about this venerable old lady was that at the time of her death she had forty-eight grand children and thirty-five great grandchildren, all of whom are living. In addition to this she was the mothe r of two sons and six daughters, all of whom survive her excepting one daughter, Mrs. K. Cordial, who died about a year ago. The surviving children all live in this county excepting the oldest daughter, who resides in Minnesota. The esteem in which the deceased was held was attested by the large concourse of friends in attendance at the obsequies.

KISS, Imre

Services for Imre Kiss, 24-year-old Hungarian refugee who was accidentally shot to death yesterday at Manns Choice, Pa., will be conducted Saturday at 2 p. m. at Lybarger (Pa.) Lutheran Church. Rev. J. M. Scharf, pastor, will officiate and interment will be in Lybarger Cemetery. The body will remain at the Ziegler Funeral Home, Hyndman, until noon Saturday when it will be taken to the church. Kiss was pronounced dead on arrival at Bedford County Hospital where he was taken after the shooting on the farm of C. T. Bockhouse. Ralph Mickle, deputy coroner of Bedford County, said the victim died of a chest wound as a result of the accidental shooting. Mickle said Kiss and two friends, Robert Jones Jr. and Charles Bockhouse, had just returned from hunting groundhogs and were sitting in a parked car. Jones and Bockhouse were sitting in the front seat and Kiss was alone in the rear seat. The Bockhouse youth was taking the bolt off the .218 calibre rifle when it discharged. Mickle said the bullet passed through the back of the front seat and struck the victim in the chest. The Hungarian refugee came to this country after the revolution and was sponsored by C. T.

KNATZ, (child) James

Killed With a Cat Gun Saturday afternoon at about 3 o'clock James Knatz, a lad of twelve years, living at Lonaconing, was accidentally shot and killed by the premature discharge of a cat gun. The facts are as follows: Knatz and four of his companions were on the farm of Mr. Gordon near the George's Creek and Cumberland Railroad depot playing with a loaded cat gun and in handing it from one to another it discharged and the ball entered the Knatz boy's chest. The unfortunate lad dropped to the earth, and after a few gasps expired. The boy who was passing the gun is named John Hunter, and he is nearly frantic with grief. All of the other boys are likewise stunned at the fatal termination of their hunting expedition and can scarcely be comforted. As the gun was handed around the hammer was raised and the trigger was accidentally touched thus causing the tragedy. The father and mother of the dead boy left for Phill ipsburg, Montana, last Tuesday, and he was placed with his grandfather Adam McMullen, until their return. The funeral took place from the residence of Mr. Adam McMullen this afternoon at 2 o'clock and was largely attended. Rev. L. Carmen Bell officiated. The interment was at Oak Hill cemetery, Lonaconing.

The remains will be taken to Berlin, Somerset county, Thursday morning on B & O train No. 48, arriving in Connellsville at 8.50 A. M. Services will be conducted at Berlin by Rev. King of Somerset, Rev. Cramer of Hyndman, and Rev. Truxall of Meyersdale. Deceased was the son of John and Anna Knepper and was born on a farm at Berlin, September 10, 1816. He was of German descent, his ancestors being of the pioneer settlers of Somerset county, having settled there over a century ago. His early education was received in the public school at Berlin. He received his theological training under Rev. William Conrad, a former pastor of the Berlin Reformed Church. In 1850 he was ordained as a minister, his first charge being at Wellersburg, where he was pastor of the Reformed Church for 55 years. His entire ministerial life was spent there. He spent 18 months of his life in the Western States. At an early age Rev. Knepper married Miss Catherine Hay of Berlin. Two children were born to the union. Miss Sophia Knepper, deceased, and Mrs. Anna Heller, living. After serving 50 years as pastor of the Wellersburg Church, which was composed of four charges, Rev. Knepper was still retained to supply the Wellersburg congregation for five years, making his entire ministry 55 years. Sixteen years ago Rev. Knepper celebrated his golden wedding anniversary. The affair was one of the greatest events of the kind ever held in Somerset county, many persons being present from a distance. Sunday three weeks ago Rev. Knepper celebrated his 89th birthday at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Anna Heller. The celebration was a very quiet one, only the near relatives being present. At his retirement from the ministry, the ministers of the various classes tendered Rev. Knepper a grand public reception, over a thousand persons being present. During his ministry he baptized over 2,000 persons. After resigning from the ministry he was elected pastor emeritus, allowing him the privilege of baptizing and performing marriage ceremonies. Deceased has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Heller, since last October. His death was not unexpected; for the past year he has been in feeble health, being confined to his room the greater part of that time. Death was caused by the infirmities of old age. Deceased was highly respected and esteemed by all who knew him. He is survived by his widow, Mrs. Katherine Knepper, and one daughter, Mrs. Anna M. Heller, of Connellsville.

Where Body Will Be Taken - Family is Well Known. Word was received here, yesterday by Edward Koelker, a bookkeeper at the Westmoreland Grocery Company, that his brother, William A. Koelker, of Westernport, Md., was found dead with his throat cut in Washington, D.C., Monday night. The news was forwarded to William A. Bucholtz[sic], an uncle living at Cumberland, who informed Mr. Koelker. Koelker left for Cumberland yesterday afternoon and will stay there until the body arrives. He is expected back Friday or Saturday. No detail of the tragedy could be learned. The message from the Chief of Police only asked as to the disposition of the body. While his family lived at Westernport, William Koelker had for the past few weeks worked at Cumberland in the interests of the Cumberland Brewing Company. Edward Koelker of this place has been unable to account for the action. William Koelker went to Washington to buy some fixtures for a new store in Cumberland. The deceased was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Koelker, a highly respected German family of Cumberland. He was 40 years old. The father died a number of years ago, but the mother and the following brothers survive; Joseph Koelker, accountant at Cumberland; Henry M. Koelker, money order clerk in the Cumberland post office, and Edward Koelker, a bookkeeper for the Westmoreland Grocery Company at Connellsville.
