NAUGHTON, Michael

DEATH CLAIMS AGED RESIDENT ~ Mr. Michael Naughton Passed Away Last Evening ~ IN THE 84TH YEAR OF HIS AGE ~ He Resided in Allegany County Since the Thirties - A Man of Fine Traits and General Prominence—Served as County Commissioner Mr. Michael Naughton died lest evening at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Conrad Rahrig, Mt. Savage. Although an aged and feeble man Mr. Naughton's death was quite unexpected. He contracted a severe cold several days ago, but was able to sit up yesterday and his ailment was not regarded as serious until shortly before the end came, when a sinking spell from which he did not rally, seized him. Mr. Naughton was one of the pioneer residents of Allegany county, having settled here away back in the thirties. Shortly after coming to Allegany county he settled at Mt. Savage and a few months before his death he returned to that village to die there. Mr. Naughton was born in County Galway, Ireland, in 1820. He came to this country in 1836 landing at Baltimore. On the day after his arrival, he journeyed afoot from Baltimore to Frederick city where his brother, who had preceded him in settling in the United States, resided. Shortly afterward he came to Allegany county and with the exception of a brief period spent in the South in which he was employed for a short while at Savannah, Georgia, he spent his entire life here. In 1845 Mr. Naughton married Miss Anna Elizabeth Dean, whose father was a descendant of one of the old English families, participating in Maryland’s colonization. The marriage was solemnized at Mt. Savage. Mr. Naughton was a shoemaker by trade, but shortly after his marriage he abandoned that occupation and engaged in farming. In 1856 he moved from Mt. Savage to a Will’s creek farm near Corriganville, and in 1872 he purchased what had been known as the Selby place on Evitt’s creek, East of this city. He made the latter place his home until a few months ago. when he leased the farm and went to reside with his daughter, Mrs. Rahrig, at Mt. Savage.

His wife died in 1874.

NEFF, Samuel Gunnett

Samuel Gunnett Neff, ex-local leader, dies A former labor leader who was instrumental in saving the local Tube Mill and later rose to be a state senator and started an area golf course, Samuel Gunnett Neff, 81, of Rotunda West, Fla., died of natural causes Thursday, March 23, 1995, at his residence. Born Sept. 23, 1913, in Frostburg, Md., to the late Samuel M. and Bernadette Crow Gunnett, he moved to Ellwood City around 1916, attended local schools and served as captain of the high school football team in both his junior and senior years, which was a rarity then and even now. He worked at National Tube, later Ellwood Works of U.S. Steel, served as president of Local 1220, production workers' union at the mill, and became a staff representative of United Steelworkers of America. After the end of World War II when it was announced the local Tube Mill would close, Mr. Neff was on the committee of seven steelworkers who went to Hoboken, NJ, in an attempt to save the mill. He was described as an eloquent spokesman for that group when it appeared before the U.S. Steel board of directors and at a shareholders' meeting. As a result of those sessions, the local mill did not close at that time and remained in operation for more than 25 years. Much of the credit for keeping the mill in operation went to Mr. Neff and that committee. Mr. Neff was elected a state senator in 1948, serving one term, and later was head of workmen's compensation in the slate. At one time, he was also a candidate for governor. He later built Palisades Golf Course, now known as Fox Run Golf Course on River Rd. in North Sewickley Twp. In the spring of 1984, Mr. Neff sold the golf course to Max and Shirley Mesing, current owners, who changed the name to Fox Run and have since redesigned it and made major improvements. Mr. Neff had also been chairman of Beaver County Democrats in the 1950s. He moved to Florida about 15 years ago. Surviving are his wife, Evelyn K. Slade Neff; a son, Theodore Neff of Totonda West; and four daughters, Nancy Shepherd of Painesville, Ohio, Mabel Neff of Englewood, Fla., Catherine Franek of Bradenton, Fla., and Virginia Neff of Jacksonville, Fla. Also surviving are 10 grandchildren; nine great-grandchildren; two brothers, Bob Griffith of Whispering Pines, NC, and George Gunnett of New Castle; and a sister, Maryland Thornhill of Ellwood City. He was preceded in death by a son, Sammy Neff, who died in 1942 and by two brothers, James Kenneth "Kenny" Gunnett of Ellwood City and Theodore 'Dory" Gunnett of New Castle. Private services were planned in Florida. Memorial donations in Mr. Neff 's name may be made to the Ellwood City Area Historical Society, P.O. Box 611, Ellwood City, PA 16117. Ellwood City Ledger March 25, 1995 Digitized from microfiche provided by The Florida Department of Health, Office of Vital Statistics, P.O. Box 210, Jacksonville, Florida 32231-0042. Notes From Robert L. Griffith : When Bob was about 3 years old, his mother, Bernadette, died and Bob was raised by his aunt and uncle, George and Lutie Crow Griffith. He was never legally adopted but chose to use the Griffith last name, hence the name change from Gunnett to Griffith. In later life, due to birth certificate problems, it was later necessary to make the name change legal. At Sam's birth, Sam's mother Bernadette Crow Gunnett died, and Sam was raised by his Uncle Clark and Aunt Edna Crow Neff. As with his brother, Bob, Sam was also was never legally adopted. Notes from Dick Crow: Sam had done a great bit of research on George Maxwell Crow and his family and I obtained a lot of info from his research.

His father was Samuel G. Gunnett and Sam's mother, Bernadette Crow, daughter of George M. Crow, passed away in 1914. Sam was born in 1913. It appears that since he was the youngest child that he was raised by his Aunt Mable Edna Crow who had married a Neff, thus the use of Neff by Sam. Sam was involved in politics in the Beaver-Butler and Lawrence County area of Pennsylvania. He was a State Senator from this 47th Senatorial District and ran for Congress from that district, not certain whether he was elected or not. The information relative to his Grandfather and Aunts and Uncles was furnished by Sam to me prior to his death in 1996[?].

NELSON, Mrs. Margaret Susan Diehl

NURSING ASSISTANT VICTIM OF SHOOTING The estranged husband of a woman shot to death yesterday at Memorial Hospital today was refused bond in District Court. John Edwin Nelson, 44, who last resided at Central YMCA, is being charged with first degree murder and second degree murder in the shooting of Mrs Margaret Susan Nelson, 49, of 1211 Virginia Avenue. Mrs Nelson was shot and killed after she apparently entered the second level of the Memorial Hospital parking garage. She was shot several times and was pronounced dead in the emergency room of the hospital, where she had just finished a shift working as a nursing assistant. Judge Miller Bowen refused bond for Nelson because of the nature and circumstances of the offense with which he is charged and because he may pose a danger to himself and others. Joseph R Gallen has been retained as attorney for Nelson, who has requested a preliminary hearing in District Court. No date has yet been scheduled for that hearing. Corporal John W Morley, who is heading the investigation for city police, said police were notified of the shooting at 3:18 pm. According to Morley, the shooting was apparently the result of a domestic dispute. The suspect allegedly waited among the cars parked in the garage until the hospital shift changed and the victim was leaving to go home. The garage was reported to be almost full, with the exception of a few empty spaces around the door when the shooting occurred. Apparently there were several witnesses. A 22 caliber rifle was used in the shooting, police said, and then reportedly left at the scene. The suspect is alleged to have fled the garage on foot, after traveling to the hospital in a pickup truck. The truck was later reported to have been located on the lot of a South End restaurant. The suspect was apprehended by City Police at 4:20 pm. He was reportedly found riding in a cab on a North End street and was transported to city police headquarters. The victim had been employed by the hospital for five years, according to Ted Troxell, public relations director of Memorial Hospital. She was presently employed as a nursing assistant on 3 West. Mrs Nelson was a native of Wellersburg, Pa. and a daughter of James Franklin Diehl and Lula A (Michaels) Diehl. She was a 1949 graduate of Beall High School. Also surving are two sons, Daniel J. Emerick, Okinawa, Japan; Joseph F Emerick, at home; four daughters, Mrs Barbara Perkins and Mrs Louise Ann Burgess both of this city; Miss Julia Emerick, Fort Worth, Texas: Miss Mary Catherine Emerick, at home; seven brothers, Vernon Diehl, Bel Air, Md;. Irvin Diehl Wellersburg; John Lewis Diehl, LaVale; Herbert P Diehl, Sunnyside, Mt Savage;Harold D Diehl and J Orville Diehl both of Mt Savage; James R Diehl, Plano, Texas; three sisters, Mrs Mary Flanigan, and Mrs Nellie Hotchkiss, both of Mt Savage; and Mrs Teresa Pendleton, Safety Harbor, Fla, and one grandchild.

NEVILLE, Col. Mortimore Delworth

We notice in the obituary of our good and venerable friend, the late Col. M. D. Neville, published last week, that the writer says "He had been a surveyor by profession." Now the following bit of his family history, as related to us a few years ago by the Colonel himself, may be interesting to many of the readers of the Tribune. Col. Neville's grandfather, General Neville, of Old Fields - then Hampshire County, Va., was a surveyor and C. E. He worked with Geo. Washington whilst he was surveying for Lord Fairfax in and about the Old Fields. Gen. Neville also bought his farm on the South Branch of Lord Fairfax. Gen. Neville was also appointed on behalf of the state of Va. to act in behalf of his state, with a surveyor appointed by Pa., to run the dividing line between those two states, which they did, by beginning at the corner of Md - the western end of the Mason and Dixon Line - and extending said line until Pa had her five degrees westward from the Delaware river, thence north until they struck the Ohio River below Pittsburg. They made a report of their survey, which was ratified by the Legislatures of both states. Major Neville, the Colonel's father, who owned an immense body of land in the Alleghany mountains, but at that day not very valuable, was also a surveyor. He ran the dividing line between Hampshire and Hardy counties. The colonel had his field notes in his possession and gave me the calls of said line, but I have now forgotten them, but the beginning is at the mouth of Stony River, and runs straight to the top of High Knob, a distance of twenty miles and some poles. The Colonel's son, Robt L Neville, is a surveyor also.

He was born Feb 12th, 1821, died Aug 30th, 1912, aged 91 years, 6 mo and 18 days. Thus closed life of one of the oldest citizens, a man well known throughout Grant and Mineral County. He had been a surveyor by profession, and lived for years at Mt Storm, then for some years in the Stone house on the North Western Turnpike, as the agent of the late Judge Armstrong, and his last years were spent in peace and rest with his son, Robert L. Neville, near Deer Park. A very large congregation gathered last Sunday morning at the M E church, Mt Storm to pay their tribute of respect to his remains. Rev. F. C. Rollman, of Elk Garden conducted the funeral services and preached an excellent sermon, he was assisted by the Rev. Johnson of Gormania and Rev. N. Alkire of Mt Storm. Mr. Neville had united with the M E Church, South some 35 years ago, and was a member of that church when he died. His wife had preceded him in death several years. Three children survive, Robert L. Neville, living near Deer, Park, Md; Mrs. Emma Shillingburg, wife of Wm. Shillingburg, near Hartmonsville, and Nannie Neville, of Keyser, Mineral County. Thus passes away one of our oldest citizens, and may peace be unto his ashes.

NEWMAN, William B.

Saturday morning, April 19, 1913, William B. Newman, one of the most popular B&O freight conductors on the Third Division, was instantly killed at Newburg at 6:20 o'clock. Conductor Newman, who was one of the oldest men in the service, was going west on a freight train and had stopped for water at Newburg. In passing around the rear of his train he stepped onto the other track directly in front of the way train, which was running at a fair rate of speed. If he saw the approaching engine he did not have time to save himself, nor did the engineer have time to check the train. He was struck and hurled for some distance, receiving injuries which caused almost instant death. His son, Maurice Newman, was on the cars and saw a man fall under the wheels, but did not realize at first it was his father. They talked just a few minutes before. The body of the unfortunate man was brought here on the noon accommodation. It was accompanied by J. N. Laing, a Masonic friend and brother of Newburg. Here, Keyser Masons escorted the remains to Thompson's Undertaking Parlors. Mr. Newman was 61 years old and a native of Corinth section of Preston Co. He is survived by his wife, who was a Miss Copp, also of Preston Co., one son, Maurice Newman, and one daughter, Mrs. Roy Spangler. He was a member of Davis Lodge No. 51, AF&AM, Keyser and No 497, Order Railway Conductors. On Monday morning after services at the home conducted by Rev. A. O. Price, a special train took the body to Terra Alta where the burial took place about noon, with Masonic rites, the O. R. C. also participating. The train took from here about 175 people and to these were added about 25 more enroute. Many Masons, members of the Order of Railroad Conductors, and Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, and the Ladies Auxiliary to the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, were in the party, with the relatives of the deceased.

NICHOLAS, G. M.

HARRISONBURG VA, SEPT 10 - Chemist Taylor's report on the analysis of the contents of the stomach of G. M. Nicholas, the wealthy farmer who died from poisoning on Aug 5, was made public today by the Coroner Biedler after a consultation with the four brothers of the dead man. The Richmond chemist found arsenic in the stomach, but failed to find arsenic in the portion of unused coffee which he also examined. The conclusion is that arsenic was placed in the coffee which Nicholas drank for breakfast August 5. The chemist coroner and commonwealth's Attorney all agree that Nicholas was evidently a victim of cold-blooded murder. The supervisors have offered a $100 reward and Governor Mann? has offered 2$50(?sic) more. Keyser Tribune, September 20, 1912 (Courtesy of Patti McDonald

NICOLA, Ray J.

Three men were instantly killed - their bodies horribly mangled - and two others seriously injured at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in a head-on collision on Route 51, just north of Waltersburg, between a loaded beer truck and another heavily laden with pit posts. The dead: William M. Minehart, 35, of near Burgess Field, driver of the Beer truck. Floyd W. Shaffer, 28, Hazelton, W. Va., driver of the lumber truck. Ray J. Nicola, 23 Hazelton, W. Va., passenger on the lumber truck. The injured: Charles Uphold, 30, West Main street, both hands badly lacerated, suffering body bruises when thrown from the beer truck in which he was a passenger; condition late last night in Uniontown Hospital was reported as not serious, but injuries painful. Charles Anderson, also of East Main street, suffering from cuts and bruises in Uniontown Hospital where he was admitted for treatment. Both were passengers in the beer truck. Shaffer and Nicola were literally decapitated when the heavy load of lumber and truck motor crushed them; Minehart's body was also badly crushed. The beer truck owned by Joseph Vecchio, was traveling South toward Uniontown. It was thrown to one side of the road by the impact and rested in the ditch. Minehart's body was removed without difficulty. Shaffer and Nicola's bodies were wedged tightly between the motor and the load in the truck cabin. It was not until rescuers and workmen lifted the mangled mass of wreckage that the bodies of the two men were disclosed. Among the first arrivals on the scene were Dr. and Mrs. F. R. White of Bruceton Mills, acquaintances of Shaffer and Nicola. It was they who identified the mangled bodies. With hundreds of broken beer bottles scattered along the road, together with a profusion of pit posts, traffic on the highway was temporarily blocked. Scores of motorists dashed to the scene as soon as the news reached the city adding to the difficulties of Lieut. Baer, Sgt. Augustine, Corp. Jones and Patrolman Toma of the State Motor Patrol, who were directing traffic and investigating the tragedy. Minehart had obtained a truck load of beer in Pittsburgh and was returning with the load to Uniontown. The lumber truck was heading in the direction of Perryopolis and apparently had some of the mines in the lower end of the county as a destination. The bodies were removed to the J. Harry Johnston & Sons funeral establishment, that of Minehart being later removed to the establishment of C. B. Dearth at New Salem. William M. Minehart was aged 33 years and nine days, having been born August 26, 1902. He is survived by his widow, Stella Smith Minehart; four children, Frederick, Rose Emma, Lillian Mae and William M. Jr., all at home; his father, Fred Minehart, Akron, O.; a brother, Irvin Minehart, Fontebale; and five sisters, Mrs. Etta Slathers, Dearth; Mrs. Katherine Ashford, Ann Arbor, Mich; Mrs. Nellie Stroup, Akron, O.; Mrs. Ruth Tracano, Denbo Heights, and Mrs. Lillian Stustie, Montour Noll 10.

NINER, Louis

LOUIS NINER DEAD FROM ELECTROCUTION ~ Was Intercepted by Live Wire Blown Down by Storm at Sister's Gate Frostburg. Md. June 9— Louis Niner, aged 24 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Niner, Clarysville, died at the Miners' Hospital at 8:30 o'clock last night, following an electric shock received from a high tension wire, which, during a heavy wind storm last evening, had fallen from the arc circuit of the local lighting system. The accident occurred about dusk. Mr. Niner accompanied by Wheeler Engle, Eckhart, in an automobile, was on his way to the home of the former's sister, Mrs. William Youngerman, Mechanic and High streets. According to Mr Engle, who was an eye-witness to the tragedy, both alighted from the car on the arrival in front of the Youngerman residence. Mr. Niner taking the lead started for the gate opening into the yard. Reaching the gateway first, he made an effort to pull it open, but to the notice of Mr. Engle, for a moment seemed paralyzed, then fell to the ground on his face. Investigation in the dim fading light of evening developed that the man had gripped a high tension wire which fell during the wind storm last evening to the top of the fence below. "Dude" Atkinson who was on the scene a few moments following the accident, placed an ambulance call with Jacob Hafer who took the man to the Miners' Hospital. Still in an unconscious state, Mr. Niner never revived after having been placed on the operating table, expiring a few minutes later. The only marks on his body were the burns on his hands from gripping the wire and a slight bruise on his forehead, sustained in the fall to the ground. Besides his parents, four brothers. Henry, George, Herschel and James, Clarysvllle; three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Youngerman, this place; Mrs. Florence Miller, Clarysville and Mrs. Louise Connors. Eckhart, survive. Mr Niner was employed in a fuel mine operated by Porter Brothers.

NOGY, James

Yesterday considerable excitement was created by discovery of a dead body in the North Branch by B&O trainmen. As the river is Maryland property, the authorities of that state took charge, and the following "special" to this paper from Westernport tells all. The body of James Nogy, 55 years old, a Hungarian who had been employed at the mill of the W. Va. Pulp and Paper Co., at Luke, was found in the Potomac River lodged against a barrel, between Keyser and Piedmont, Thursday. Coroner William H. Shaw came up from Cumberland and had the body removed to the Fredlock undertaking establishment. No marks of violence were found. The man had been missing for four weeks. He drew his pay and a certificate of deposit showed he had over $40 in a New York bank, while over $6 was found in his clothes. It is supposed he fell into the river while intoxicated.

NOLAN, Dennis

"Crushed Under Fall of Coal- Dennis Nolan Meets With a Fatal Accident- CAUSE OF FALL A MYSTERY- Place of Working Considered Perfectly Safe- Bureau of the Evening Times. Lonaconing, Md., Sept. 20. The life was crushed out of Dennis Nolan, and his father, brother and cousin escaped death by a hand's breadth in Ocean No. 1 mine yesterday afternoon. The four Nolans - experienced miners all - were working in a cross cut, pillaring. Dennis and his brother Martin were working side by side, their father and cousin, Daniel Nolan, of Lonaconing, were only a few steps away, when as quickly as a flash of lightening the roof and the breast came away, burying Dennis under at least two tons of coals and rock. How his brother Martin escaped, no one knows, nor can he, himself, explain it. Dennis was killed instantly, and no on can tell how it happened, for the roof was thoroughly well propped and the miners say that such an accident has never happened before within their experience. The roof and breast coal came away together. Dennis Nolan was born in Lonaconing 28 years ago, and was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Nolan. The family moved from Lonaconing to Midland about four years ago. The oldest son of the family is Father Joseph Nolan, of Frostburg. Deceased is survived by his parents and two brothers and five sisters: Mrs. Michael Burns, Mrs. ? McDermott, Annie, Ellen and Loretta Nolan, all of Midland. Miss Annie is a school teacher and Ellen and Loretta are mere children. The unfortunate young man was a member in good standing of the temperance society attached to St. Joseph's Church, and was also a member of the A.O.H. "Denny", as he was called by his friends, was an expert coal miner, as are the three men who worked with him, and they left nothing undone to make their place perfectly secure and they firmly believe that an accident was impossible in that place. The unexpected happened, however, and Dennis Nolan, one of the soberest, industrious and respected young men of Midland was sent into eternal presence of his father...(unreadable)...Daniel Nolan, of Lonaconing: "...worked in a place that looked...safe as that did when I went...this morning. It was my first day in that place, and I can't understand how that coal came away." Mr. Nolan's body was brought home by his three "buttys" and a heartbreaking sight it was, the gray-haired father bringing home his dead boy, and the brother going ahead to "break the news" to the poor mother. If Daniel and Michael Nolan had not stepped out of the "breast" they, undoubtedly, would have been killed also."

NOONAN, Thomas C.

A Very Sad Death ~ Thomas C Noonan, a Carrier Boy of the Times Force Was Buried Monday Afternoon Death is always sad, but when it comes in early youth when boyhood is just budding into manhood, death seems doubly sad. Such has been the lot of poor Thomas C Noonan, son of Mr T F(sic) Noonan, the well known Baltimore and Ohio watchman, who died at his father's residence on Emily Street, Saturday night in the fourteenth year of his age. "Tommy" as he was called, was one of the carrier boys of the Times force and was one of the very best boys who ever carried a Times route. But death has claimed him and right on the threshold of Christmas when everyone feels a thrill of gladness. Poor Tommy has been laid to rest and the glad Christmas has given to sorrow in the family household of which he was a beloved member, as well as by his friends, of which he numbered many. The Times will miss his cheerful face, as he will never again go in or out its office door, as was his usual custom as a valuable newspaper carrier. The funeral took place from St. Patrick's church at 3 o'clock Monday, and the interment was made in St Patrick's cemetery. Among the floral offerings was a handsome one from the Evening Times.

NORMAN, William Lineley

William Lineley Norman departed this life Friday, December 6, 1912, near New London, Ohio, aged 69 years, 11 months, and 6 days. The funeral sermon was preached at Elk Garden on the Tuesday following by Rev. W. W. White, assisted by Revs. John A. Shockey and L. C. Messick. The deceased was a member of the Eagle, Lodge K of P, of Blaine, and the members of that order turned out in a body, also other members of the order in town. Rev. Messick spoke for the order. There were some fine floral pieces, furnished by the order and friends. He was a member of the M. E. Church, South, and was faithful attendant at church service. The body was interred in the Nethken Hill cemetery where his wife and son are buried. Mr Norman was born in Durham County, England, and came to this county(?country) at the age of twenty-three. He married Miss Emma MacKenzie, of Beaver Falls, Pa. He came to Elk Garden in 1886 as a coal miner. Later he engaged in merchandising, but with the increasing years the business was gradually taken in hand by the family under the firm name of E. M. Norman & Co. He leaves a brother, John Norman, of Del Roy, Ohio, and a sister, Mrs. Wm. Gatt, of Mecca, Indiana. His children that are living are, James and Alonzo Norman, of Elk Garden, and Shaw, respectively, Mrs. Jessie Oats, of Elk Garden, Mrs. Anna Oats of Gormania, and Mrs. Mary Ross, of Providence, Rhode Island. The circumstances of Mr. Norman's death are peculiar. Last July he left for a trip to England. He visited his old home in England and returned to New York, November 14, and then went to the home of his son-in-law, Prof. J. W. Ross, Providence, November 15. He left Providence December 5 for Indiana to see his sister. Near New London, Ohio, it appears that he fell from the train, the Big 4, at four o'clock in the morning and was instantly killed. The train was running at full speed, but he was missed, and the trainmen telegraphed back at the next station to other stations for trains to be on the lookout for a man along the track. The body was soon discovered by a passing train which ran to the next station when an engine and car were sent for the body. It was found between the tracks with back of head crushed and face bruised. A coroner took charge of the body and embalmed it and sent a telegram to Alonzo Norman at Shaw, there being papers on the body that identified him. James and Alonzo Norman went at once to new London, and brought the body to Shaw. Just how Mr. Norman came to his death is not known. The funeral was largely attended and all his children were in attendance.

REED, Miss Daisy

) "A DOUBLE TRAGEDY-Two Young People Killed by No. 12-One of the saddest fatal accidents that ever took place in this vicinity occurred about 9:20 Tuesday evening, July 10, 1906, a short distance east of the Bloomington bridge on the B & O railroad, resulting in the instant death of Mr. Callie Neff, a B & O freight brakeman, residing with his mother on the east end of Fairview street near the HERALD office, and Miss Daisy Reed, of Bloomington, Md. Miss Reed had spent the evening in Piedmont and Mr. Neff started to accompany her home, walking up the B & O railroad. A Mr. Fazenbaker, of the Junction, witnessed the accident and immediately summoned assistance. They were walking on the north (westbound) track and took it for granted that passenger train No. 12, which they must have heard coming, was on the south (eastbound) track. Owing to a wreck near Bloomington No. 12 was sent over the north track and dashed around the curve through a cut so suddenly they did not have time to get off the track. Both were instantly killed and their bodies thrown some distance, the engineer, Mr. Wm. Fazenbaker, not being aware of the accident. Their bodies were brought to Piedmont at once and taken to the Fredlock undertaking rooms on Lyon street and prepared for burial before being sent to their respective homes. Callie Elwood Neff is the eldest son of Mr. John W. and Mrs. Fannie Neff, and was born at Frankfort, Mineral county, Christmas day-December 25, 1884, being in his 22nd year. He was an industrious young man and had been materially assisting in the support of the family for several years. He had been in the employ of the B & O for eight years, the last two having been spent as brakeman here. He had been transferred to the Keyser yard where he had only worked two days. His was a social disposition and he was popular with his railroad associates and all his acquaintances. The family-especially his devoted mother, to whom he had always been so kind and helpful-are heart broken over his tragic death. The funeral of Miss Reed took place at eleven o'clock this morning from St. Peter's Catholic church, Westernport, Md. The funeral of Mr. Neff will take place from the Southern M. E. church at two o'clock this afternoon, Rev. H. L. Hout..."
