PARK, John Albert

In loving but sad remembrance of our dear Uncle, John Park, formerly of Lonaconing, who died Friday, August 19, 1910, at his home in Breedlove. West Virginia. In West Virginia the stars are beaming Upon our dear Uncle’s grave. Where sleepeth without dreaming Our dear Uncle we could not save. The last farewell was spoken A few days before to-day. And the family circle broken When our dear Uncle passed away. O, the memory of that morning, As we stood with aching hearts, Seeing the one we loved so dearly Pierced by death's most cruel darts. O, Uncle, dear, we loved you so! How sad it was to part! One dear thought of your sweet face Will cause the tears to start! It was a bright summer day That we laid his body to rest In the cold and clammy clay, And O, may his soul be blest! He sleeps within the cold, cold clay, The dark-blue skies above him; His heart was noble, true and brave None knew him but to love him. Friends may think we’ll soon forget And our wounded hearts be healed, But they little know of the sorrow That is in our hearts concealed. As long as memory lasts I will remember . him.

PAVELICK, Nick & Son (also George HOOK & son)

DUBOIS PA July 17 - The bodies of 21 victims of the mine explosion were taken form 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 form Pittsburg, 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.

PORTER, Admiral Dewey

A Frostburg pedestrian was killed early this morning on his way to work at Frostburg State College. Maryland State Police identified the victim as A. Dewey Porter, 66, of 108 Center Street. He died shortly after being admitted to Miners Hospital with a crushed chest, numerous fractures and internal injuries. Frostburg Police Officer Edward Bevans and TFC George Watcher of the Maryland State Police said the accident occurred around 5:30 a.m. at the intersection of College Avenue and Wood Street. Authorities said Vernon J. Miller, 56, of 64 Spring Street, Frostburg, was driving westbound on College Avenue and his car struck the victim. Police said the street is a steep grade and that Mr. Miller was traveling at a slow rate of speed. The driver took the victim to Miners Hospital after the accident occurred. Mr. Porter was enroute to the college where he is employed as a fireman. Mr. Miller was also reportedly on his way to work in Zihlman. An oddity of the accident is that on Monday night Mayor William Preston announced at a council meeting that Frostburg for the ninth straight year had been presented a safety plaque for not having a fatal accident. Records reveal the last fatal accident in Frostburg occurred nine years ago when a small child was killed by a milk truck on Welch Street. A native of Eckhart, Mr Porter was a son of the late Charles W. and Margaret (Beal) Porter. Survivors include his widow, Mrs. Marie (Kamauf) Porter; a stepson, Robert Gray, Bowie, a sister, Mrs. Bertha Long, of Frostburg; a brother, Harry Porter, Canton, Ohio, and two grandsons. Mr. Porter was a member of First English Baptist Church of Frostburg.

PORTER, Alex M.

Mr. Alex. M. Porter, one of Cumberland oldest and most highly respected citizens, died yesterday morning about 6 o'clock, aged 75 years. Mr. Porter belonged to the old pioneer family of that name in Allegany county and was the son of the late John M. and Catherine Porter, and was born at Eckhart, where he grew to manhood and where he married Miss Eleanor Collins in 1855. He was among the first employees on the Echart Branch railroad, taking his first position as fireman. From Eckhart he moved to Piedmont to accept the position of engineer on the B. & O. railroad, serving continuously in that capacity for forty years and was regarded by the company as one of its most competent and trustworthy engineers. He retired from the service of the company about ten years ago and was the proud possessor of a bronze medal presented to him by the company in recognition of his long and faithful service. Mr. Porter was a member of Hiram Lodge, No. 103, A. F. and A. M. of Westernport, and was presented with a handsome apron at the forty-third anniversary of the lodge, May 16, 1898. He was also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and a leading member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. Mr. Port came to this city from Piedmont to reside about fifteen years ago. He is survived by his wife and five daughters and one son as follows: Mrs. W. Scott Fuller, Mrs. John S. Little, Misses Lillian and Eleanor Porter, all of this city; Mrs. Charles T. Neff, of Piedmont, W. Va.; and Mr. Ernest D. Porter, of Los Angeles, Cal., and numerous near relatives in this county. The funeral will take place tomorrow from Kingsley M. E.

PORTER, Arthur J.

(also wife, Elizabeth Vance Stoner Porter; daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Porter) SCOTTDALE, March 10 — A triple funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Jacobs Creek Methodist Episcopal Church near here for Arthur J. Porter and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Vance Porter who were killed by the explosion of a carbide plant in the basement of their home west of town and the subsequent fire Saturday evening, and for their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, 12 years old, who died Sunday morning from injuries sustained in the explosion. The explosion occurred about ?:45 o clock, just after the members of the family had eaten supper. Mr. and Mrs. Porter and Sarah Elizabeth were in the kitchen, it is said. An elder daughter Cecelia and son Ivan had come to the Y M C A here to attend a meeting. In another part of the house lived Mr. Porter's father, George W. Porter, 87 years old and the father's daughter, Miss Dessa. They escaped practically unhurt. Mrs. Porter is believed to have been killed instantly or about so. When the blast wrecked the home, the stove was flung against Mr. Porter, pinning him to the floor. Both of Sarah's legs were broken and mangled. Suffering agony, the child attempted to free her father. Both saw that it was useless, and the father told Sarah to get out. The building by this time was a mass of flames. How she did it, Sarah could not explain, but she was found outside the building when firemen arrived, her hair burned off, and her hands, face, neck and back scorched. At the Memorial Hospital of Mount Pleasant, one foot was amputated, and preparations were being made to remove the other when death relieved her suffering. She died a few minutes after 9 o'clock Sunday morning. From her was learned about all that could be about the explosion. The aged father and his daughter lived in the front of the house. They were able to escape before fire reached them. The force of the blast tore up the floor of their apartments, and Mr. Porter walked out on the beams. He escaped with scratches and bruises. The explosion was so terrific that it caused the walls of the house, a frame structure, to spread, and the roof collapsed. At the same time, a water tank in the attic crashed through to the basement. The exact cause of the blast will never be known. On Friday, Mr. Porter had received a shipment of carbide, a variety different from what he had been using, it is said, the funnel at the top and a safety device. Only three-quarters of a pound of carbide should have dropped into the water at a time. It is believed that something was wrong with the safety device and allowed an excessive quantity of carbide to drop, causing increased gas pressure. How it was ignited has not been explained. The explosion was apparently in the basement. The condition of the body indicated that Mr. Porter may have suffered. While the lower part of the body was burned away, the face was almost untouched. Mrs. Porter was terribly burned. The house was destroyed. The Scottdale Fire Department was called and worked faithfully until 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. The house was all ablaze when the firemen got there, and the supply water from the wells, the cistern and a reservoir that was on the farm was used. Twenty-three sections of hose were laid and the best that could be done was pump and keep a small stream of water running in that dampened the debris enough, so the men could dig for the bodies. About 1 o'clock the bodies were found. The firemen were directed by Sarah Elizabeth where the bodies might be found and it was here they dug and found the father and not four feet away, the mother. George W. Porter was taken to the John Buttermore farm house nearby, and the daughter Dessa went to a neighbor. Mr. Porter was secretary-treasurer of the Westmoreland County Farm Loan Association. He had been engaged in farming. He was once the owner of a "trick" horse, Bonner, which was exhibited at county fairs and which performed like a circus animal. He is survived by his daughter, Cecelia, his son, Ivan, his father, George W. Porter, and two sisters, Miss Dessa, at home, and Mrs. Buell C. Boyd of Scottdale. Mrs. Porter is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron F. Stoner, near Mount Nebo, and four brothers, John B. Stoner of Mulberry street, Albert V. and E. A. Stoner of Homestead avenue and L. 0. Stoner of Mount Nebo.

PORTER, Arthur J. (also wife, Elizabeth Vance Stoner Porter; daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Porter)

THREE DEAD IN EXPLOSION OF CARBIDE TANK Scottdale, Pa., March 5.— (UP) — A third death resulted today from an explosion of a carbide tank, which last night wrecked the farm home of Arthur J. Porter, near here. Porter, 50, and his wife, 45. were instantly kllled by the blast; and a daughter, Sarah, 11, succumbed today at the Mount Pleasant hospital, following an operation necessitated by injuries she received when blown through a window. The girl suffered fractures of both legs. One leg was amputated today and surgeons were preparing to amputate the other when she died. Two other children of the Porters. Ivan, 15 and Celia, 13. left the house to attend a church social, a few minutes before it was wrecked.

(also husband, Arthur J. Porter; daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Porter) THREE DEAD IN EXPLOSION OF CARBIDE TANK Scottdale, Pa., March 5.— (UP) — A third death resulted today from an explosion of a carbide tank, which last night wrecked the farm home of Arthur J. Porter, near here. Porter, 50, and his wife, 45. were instantly kllled by the blast; and a daughter, Sarah, 11, succumbed today at the Mount Pleasant hospital, following an operation necessitated by injuries she received when blown through a window. The girl suffered fractures of both legs. One leg was amputated today and surgeons were preparing to amputate the other when she died. Two other children of the Porters. Ivan, 15 and Celia, 13, left the house to attend a church social, a few minutes before it waswrecked. George Porter, father of Arthur Porter and the latter's sister, Dessa Porter were burned in tho explosion but doctors said they would recover. Fire followed the explosion and the house was practically destroyed despite efforts of four companies of firemen from nearby towns. The cause of the blast which was heard for several miles, was still undetemined tonight. It occurred when Mr. and Mrs. Porter went to the basement to make repairs on the lighting system, which had been out of order.

PORTER, Elizabeth Vance Stoner

(also husband, Arthur J. Porter; daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Porter) SCOTTDALE, March 10 — A triple funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Jacobs Creek Methodist Episcopal Church near here for Arthur J. Porter and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Vance Porter who were killed by the explosion of a carbide plant in the basement of their home west of town and the subsequent fire Saturday evening, and for their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, 12 years old, who died Sunday morning from injuries sustained in the explosion. The explosion occurred about ?:45 o clock, just after the members of the family had eaten supper. Mr. and Mrs. Porter and Sarah Elizabeth were in the kitchen, it is said. An elder daughter Cecelia and son Ivan had come to the Y M C A here to attend a meeting. In another part of the house lived Mr. Porter's father, George W. Porter, 87 years old and the father's daughter, Miss Dessa. They escaped practically unhurt. Mrs. Porter is believed to have been killed instantly or about so. When the blast wrecked the home, the stove was flung against Mr. Porter, pinning him to the floor. Both of Sarah's legs were broken and mangled. Suffering agony, the child attempted to free her father. Both saw that it was useless, and the father told Sarah to get out. The building by this time was a mass of flames. How she did it, Sarah could not explain, but she was found outside the building when firemen arrived, her hair burned off, and her hands, face, neck and back scorched. At the Memorial Hospital of Mount Pleasant, one foot was amputated, and preparations were being made to remove the other when death relieved her suffering. She died a few minutes after 9 o'clock Sunday morning. From her was learned about all that could be about the explosion. The aged father and his daughter lived in the front of the house. They were able to escape before fire reached them. The force of the blast tore up the floor of their apartments, and Mr. Porter walked out on the beams. He escaped with scratches and bruises. The explosion was so terrific that it caused the walls of the house, a frame structure, to spread, and the roof collapsed. At the same time, a water tank in the attic crashed through to the basement. The exact cause of the blast will never be known. On Friday, Mr. Porter had received a shipment of carbide, a variety different from what he had been using, it is said, the funnel at the top and a safety device. Only three-quarters of a pound of carbide should have dropped into the water at a time. It is believed that something was wrong with the safety device and allowed an excessive quantity of carbide to drop, causing increased gas pressure. How it was ignited has not been explained. The explosion was apparently in the basement. The condition of the body indicated that Mr. Porter may have suffered. While the lower part of the body was burned away, the face was almost untouched. Mrs. Porter was terribly burned. The house was destroyed. The Scottdale Fire Department was called and worked faithfully until 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. The house was all ablaze when the firemen got there, and the supply water from the wells, the cistern and a reservoir that was on the farm was used. Twenty-three sections of hose were laid and the best that could be done was pump and keep a small stream of water running in that dampened the debris enough, so the men could dig for the bodies. About 1 o'clock the bodies were found. The firemen were directed by Sarah Elizabeth where the bodies might be found and it was here they dug and found the father and not four feet away, the mother. George W. Porter was taken to the John Buttermore farm house nearby, and the daughter Dessa went to a neighbor. Mr. Porter was secretary-treasurer of the Westmoreland County Farm Loan Association. He had been engaged in farming. He was once the owner of a "trick" horse, Bonner, which was exhibited at county fairs and which performed like a circus animal. He is survived by his daughter, Cecelia, his son, Ivan, his father, George W. Porter, and two sisters, Miss Dessa, at home, and Mrs. Buell C. Boyd of Scottdale. Mrs. Porter is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron F. Stoner, near Mount Nebo, and four brothers, John B. Stoner of Mulberry street, Albert V. and E. A. Stoner of Homestead avenue and L. 0. Stoner of Mount Nebo.

PORTER, Harry E.

Brooding and melancholy over his continued ill health and inability to work, Harry E. Porter, 49 years old, a coal miner, living at Barrellsville, below Mt. Savage, took his life at 8:30 o'clock this morning by shooting himself in the head with a shot-gun at his home. The act was committed in the upstairs bedroom of the home. Indications were that Porter stood up, bent his head over the muzzle of a single barrel twelve-gauge shotgun, and pulled the trigger with his toe. The charge blew off half his face and top of his head, the shot and portions of his head striking the ceiling above. A year old grandchild, laying in a crib in the bedroom, was the only eyewitness of the tragedy. According to members of the family, Porter was low spirited and had talked at intervals of ending his life. In recent days he had repeated the threat. He arose at 6 o'clock this morning and asked for a razor to shave himself, but his wife pretended it had been mislaid. There was a shotgun in the house, but it was unloaded and no shells kept. Porter went down into the village and evidently obtained a loaded shell from some source. He came back and later went upstairs. Sometime later the family heard the explosion and going to the room found him, dying and slumped over the shotgun on the floor. Dr. H. J. Bostetter of Mt. Savage was summoned and pronounced Porter dead. An investigation was made by Sheriff William Harvey, County Investigator Terrence J. Boyle and Acting Coroner O. H. Bruce. The latter signed a certificate that Porter came to his death by a self-inflicted wound. It was learned that Porter about ten years ago received a severe injury to his head when struck by a piece of timber in the mines and that he had been in poor health for some time and under treatment by a physician. He is survived by his wife and four grown children, Mrs. Virgie Porter, two sons, Elmer A. and John E. Porter, and two daughters, Mrs. Emma Troutman and Miss Viola B. Porter, at home. The body was taken in charge of an undertaker and prepared for burial.

PORTER, Sarah Elizabeth

(also father, Arthur J; and mother, Elizabeth Vance Stoner Porter) THREE DEAD IN EXPLOSION OF CARBIDE TANK Scottdale, Pa., March 5.— (UP) — A third death resulted today from an explosion of a carbide tank, which last night wrecked the farm home of Arthur J. Porter, near here. Porter, 50, and his wife, 45. were instantly kllled by the blast; and a daughter, Sarah, 11, succumbed today at the Mount Pleasant hospital, following an operation necessitated by injuries she received when blown through a window. The girl suffered fractures of both legs. One leg was amputated today and surgeons were preparing to amputate the other when she died. Two other children of the Porters. Ivan, 15 and Celia, 13. left the house to attend a church social, a few minutes before it was wrecked. George Porter, father of Arthur Porter and the latter's sister, Dessa Porter were burned in the explosion but doctors said they would recover. Fire followed the explosion and the house was practically destroyed despite efforts of four companies of firemen from nearby towns. The cause of the blast which was heard for several miles, was still undetemined tonight. It occurred when Mr. and Mrs. Porter went to the basement to make repairs on the lighting system, which had been out of order.

PORTER, Sarah Elizabeth

(also father, Arthur J; and mother, Elizabeth Vance Stoner Porter) SCOTTDALE, March 10 — A triple funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at Jacobs Creek Methodist Episcopal Church near here for Arthur J. Porter and his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Vance Porter who were killed by the explosion of a carbide plant in the basement of their home west of town and the subsequent fire Saturday evening, and for their daughter, Sarah Elizabeth, 12 years old, who died Sunday morning from injuries sustained in the explosion. The explosion occurred about ?:45 o clock, just after the members of the family had eaten supper. Mr. and Mrs. Porter and Sarah Elizabeth were in the kitchen, it is said. An elder daughter Cecelia and son Ivan had come to the Y M C A here to attend a meeting. In another part of the house lived Mr. Porter's father, George W. Porter, 87 years old and the father's daughter, Miss Dessa. They escaped practically unhurt. Mrs. Porter is believed to have been killed instantly or about so. When the blast wrecked the home, the stove was flung against Mr. Porter, pinning him to the floor. Both of Sarah's legs were broken and mangled. Suffering agony, the child attempted to free her father. Both saw that it was useless, and the father told Sarah to get out. The building by this time was a mass of flames. How she did it, Sarah could not explain, but she was found outside the building when firemen arrived, her hair burned off, and her hands, face, neck and back scorched. At the Memorial Hospital of Mount Pleasant, one foot was amputated, and preparations were being made to remove the other when death relieved her suffering. She died a few minutes after 9 o'clock Sunday morning. From her was learned about all that could be about the explosion. The aged father and his daughter lived in the front of the house. They were able to escape before fire reached them. The force of the blast tore up the floor of their apartments, and Mr. Porter walked out on the beams. He escaped with scratches and bruises. The explosion was so terrific that it caused the walls of the house, a frame structure, to spread, and the roof collapsed. At the same time, a water tank in the attic crashed through to the basement. The exact cause of the blast will never be known. On Friday, Mr. Porter had received a shipment of carbide, a variety different from what he had been using, it is said, the funnel at the top and a safety device. Only three-quarters of a pound of carbide should have dropped into the water at a time. It is believed that something was wrong with the safety device and allowed an excessive quantity of carbide to drop, causing increased gas pressure. How it was ignited has not been explained. The explosion was apparently in the basement. The condition of the body indicated that Mr. Porter may have suffered. While the lower part of the body was burned away, the face was almost untouched. Mrs. Porter was terribly burned. The house was destroyed. The Scottdale Fire Department was called and worked faithfully until 2 o'clock on Sunday morning. The house was all ablaze when the firemen got there, and the supply water from the wells, the cistern and a reservoir that was on the farm was used. Twenty-three sections of hose were laid and the best that could be done was pump and keep a small stream of water running in that dampened the debris enough, so the men could dig for the bodies. About 1 o'clock the bodies were found. The firemen were directed by Sarah Elizabeth where the bodies might be found and it was here they dug and found the father and not four feet away, the mother. George W. Porter was taken to the John Buttermore farm house nearby, and the daughter Dessa went to a neighbor. Mr. Porter was secretary-treasurer of the Westmoreland County Farm Loan Association. He had been engaged in farming. He was once the owner of a "trick" horse, Bonner, which was exhibited at county fairs and which performed like a circus animal. He is survived by his daughter, Cecelia, his son, Ivan, his father, George W. Porter, and two sisters, Miss Dessa, at home, and Mrs. Buell C. Boyd of Scottdale. Mrs. Porter is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Aaron F. Stoner, near Mount Nebo, and four brothers, John B. Stoner of Mulberry street, Albert V. and E. A. Stoner of Homestead avenue and L. 0. Stoner of Mount Nebo.
