The funeral of Miss Reed, the 22-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Scott Reed, of Bloomington, Md., took place Friday morning, the funeral cortège coming down on the eleven o'clock Western Maryland train, the services being held in St. Peter's Catholic church, her pastor, Rev. Thos. E. Gallagher, officiating and celebrating High Mass. The attendance was large, many meeting the train and escorting the remains to the church, and thence to its lasting resting place. The floral tributes were magnificent, representing the love, esteem and high regard in which the deceased was held by her friends, companions, and acquaintances. The funeral of Callie Franklin Neff, the companion of Miss Reed in the sad accident, took place Friday afternoon from St. John's Methodist Episcopal church, South, Ashfiend street, the pastor, Rev. H. L. Hout, officiating. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which he was a member, attended in a body and had charge of the funeral arrangements, the pall-bearers being selected from their number. The two orders were very attentive to the bereaved ones on this sad occasion, which was much appreciated and for which the family-especially the grieved mother-express many thanks. The attendance of sympathetic friends was so large that building was crowded. The floral tributes of respect were very numerous, many large and fine pieces being among the collection. Mr. Neff was an industrious, kind and generous young man, kind to all and especially to his mother, who is heartbroken over his sad and sudden death. Among friends in attendance from out of town were: Mrs. J. W. Perry, Mrs. George Grimes and daughter, Mrs. C.W. Grimes, Attorney R.A.L. Dick, George Marker and J. A. Nev of Cumberland; Mrs. Thomas Bone, of Clarksburg; Mrs. Lucy A. Lashbaugh, of Frostburg; Mr. and Mrs. John W. Burke, Mrs. D.T. Greenwade, of Keyser, and many others whose names we could not learn."

REIDEL, Israel

ISRAEL REIDEL DIES AT HOSPITAL ~ In Charge of Emergency Hospital Nursed and Cheered Patients Following an illness of about a week when he suffered a stroke of paralysis, Israel Reidel, 2 Hay street, died yesterday afternoon at the Allegany hospital. Mr. Reidel was about 74 years of age. He followed the trade of baker but for several years past he and his wife had been in charge of the Emergency Hospital The deceased was a member of Company A, Ninety-third Regiment of Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry and served from October 16, 1861 until the end of the war. The Emergency Hospital of which he was superintendent was unique in that it was the one of its kind in the country. It owed its existence to the broad and generous humanitarian spirit of County Commissioners, the late William Thompson, John G Merbach and Walter T Parker. It was first opened in the old "pest house' as a refuge for a tuberculosis patient in the advanced stage, who had been turned out of the house, and from that day its doors were always open to human derelicts whom others would not receive, regardless of their race, color, creed, disease, or domicile. To all these poor outcasts Mr. Reidel was uniformly and cheerfully kind and attentive, no matter how loathsome the disease of the patient. Later when the pest house had to be used for smallpox patients, the Emergency Hospital was removed to another building on the county farm, where its usefulness was continued by the county commissioners till the close of 1915. The body of Mr. Reidel was removed to the Stein undertaking establishment. Funeral arrangement have not yet been made . Find A Grave Memorial# 127141325

RING, Charles Simeon

(abridged) CHARLES SIMEON RING PASSES AT AGE OF 71 ~ A Pioneer Shoemaker Who Had One of The Most Delightful Backgrounds Funeral services for Charles Simeon Ring, 71, former shoemaker, who died yesterday morning at his home, 307 Baltimore avenue, after an illness of four years, will be conducted Wednesday at 10 a. m. at the residence with Rev.

Taylor, Akron, and Mrs. Llndley R. Taylor, this city; two brothers, Ellsworth Ring, Homestead, Pa: and John Ring, this city; two sisters, Mrs. Mary Coveney, Cleveland, and Mrs. Clara Ward, this city, and four grandchildren. Mr. Ring conducted a shoemaker's shop for 40 years on Baltimore avenue. His home is among the few unchanged places in that section. He was struck by a car six years ago and never fully recovered from his injuries. He owned a high-wheel bicycle, still in the possession of the family, which brought him gold and silver medals in the days of pioneer bicycle racing. The medals were lost when his shop burned several years ago. The wheel, still a family possession, was ridden in the recent Sesquicentennial parade. It would seem that Mr. Ring could not have been other than individualistic when the story is told that his mother, a Gleichman, was born at sea in a sailing vessel, coming from Germany in a long torturous journey. His father, Peter Ring, was born in Germany. Mr. Ring at one time had a grocery store on Baltimore avenue, bulr he never quit being a shoemaker. He loved his trade which to him was an art. He also dealt in antiques, avid as a coin collector he had few peers. A harpsichord is still a family possession. "Sim" Ring, when twelve, took over his father's art in leather and he imbibed the finesse to create a fine boot or a side saddle. He labored for 50 years in his trade .

The truck was unloaded at the time and the driver was on his way for a load of coal. He had had a flat tire earlier in the morning and had transferred the load to another truck during the repairs. Officer Dawson said no charges have been placed against Parker and the investigation of the accident is being continued.

RODERICK, Mrs Margaret Ellen

Margaret Ellen, wife of J W Roderick, departed this life on the 10th day of Oct, 1912, at 7:30 pm, at her home near Schel, W. Va, aged 64 years, 6 months and 24 days. The subject of this notice professed faith in Christ when quite young and united with the ME Church, in which she lived a consistent member until after her marriage, when she along with her husband united with the U B Church, of which she remained a member until the end came. She had been in declining health for several years and a constant sufferer, yet she bore it all with fortitude and a christant patience that would be hard to excel. The immediate cause of her death was stomach trouble, that member having entirely failed to act; for over 20 days she took no nourishment save a little water, a part of the time, but she remained conscious to the last. About three days before her death, she asked me to raise her up in bed - as we often did to rest her - on this occasion she asked to take her in my arms, she then told me she could be with me but a short time longer and after telling me how much she appreciated my kindness to her throughout the many years of our married life, she said, "From the time that Bruce was a child, my prayer to God was that I might be spared to raise him and train him up in the way he should go, he is now 24 years old and able to care for himself, and I have nothing to bind me here save that I am sorry to leave you in your declining day. I had hoped to care for you in your last days, but God has willed it otherwise and I now leave you and Bruce to His care. Bruce will take care of you and I am now ready and willing to go. I submit my soul to the God who gave it, now kiss me goodbye and lay me down." After this she sand[?] rapidly until the end came. She leaves her aged and almost heart broken husband and one son to mourn their loss, but we mourn not as those who have no hope. I can say with King David, "she can not return to us, but I may go to her." I want to say in conclusion that to say she was a kind and affectionate wife and mother, but poorly expresses it, no one can know lest it be such as have lost such a companion. Her Husband

ROMESBURG, Melvin E.

CONFLUENCE, Dec. 31 — A gunshot wound sustained during the deer-hunting season proved fatal Sunday to Melvin E. Romesburg, 29 years old, farmer of Upper Turkeyfoot township, who died at 8:30 o'clock in the morning in Frantz Hospital of complications developing from the wound. County Detective H. C. Jacobs said that Romesburg and a companion had returned from a hunting trip December 10 and were shooting marks with a shotgun when the accident occurred. Romesburg had fired one barrel of the double-barrel shotgun and handed it to Donald Siesky of Connellsville, R. D., his companion. Siesky, in attempting to open the breech of the gun, caused it to discharge and the full load struck Romesburg in the left leg. The victim was taken to the hospital where physicians three days later amputated the leg in an effort to save his life, but complications developed. Coroner F. B. Sass, of Berlin, who conducted an investigation, said that the shooting was accidental and that an inquest probably will not be necessary. Romesburg is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Romesburg of Upper Turkeyfoot township; his wife, Mrs. Emma Brocht Romesburg; two sons, Eddie and Bobby, at home; one brother, Albert, of Kingwood, and one sister, Mrs. Charles Ream of Upper Turkeyfoot township.

The young man was very popular and a general favorite among the young men of town and the announcement of his death came to them as a great shock as he had not been ill or under the care of any physician. He worked every day last week at his occupation as a miner, but on Monday did not go to work as he was suffering with a slight cold. He was up town Monday evening and upon retiring on Monday night he left instructions with his family to call him for work the next morning at 5 o'clock. When his father called him he answered the call. Several minutes later his uncle, Win. Donahue, who roomed with him, asked him if he was going to work and he answered that he was and would be down in a few minutes. Mr. Donahue and the other men got ready and went on to the mines and as then he did not come down they concluded he had changed his mind and was going to remain at home. He was not again called until the noon hour, and when he failed to respond they went to his room and to their surprise found the young man cold in death. A physician was at once called and he stated that death was due to heart failure and that the young man had been dead some time. The deceased is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Bernard Rooney, and the following brothers and sisters: Miss Bessie, of New York city; Misses Annie, Nellie and Bernadette and John and Joseph Rooney. The deceased was a nephew of Mine Inspector J. H. Donahue. He was a member of the Young Men's Institute, of the Catholic church and the Mutual Aid of the Miners of the Consolidation Coal Co.

This morning, however, another sister, Mary Rosenberger, noticed that he had not worn his shoes when he left, and being of the opinion that the youth would not go so far as Finzel without his shoes, the family investigated. They learned that he had not been to his sister's farm, and a short time later, a neighbor boy, Bernard Knepp, discovered the young Rosenberger's clothing near the old reservoir. City officials were notified, and Benjamin H. Thomas, chief of police, and others proceeded to drain the old reservoir. The boy's body was found lying under eight feet of water in the huge concrete basin. He was wearing an improvised bathing suit and evidently drowned after becoming exhausted or being stricken with a cramp. The body was removed to his home, and funeral services will probably be held Saturday afternoon.
