TAYLOR, Clara Lee

(child) Never, perhaps, has our community received a more sudden shock of grief than that which was occasioned by the unexpected death of Clara Lee, daughter of Mr and Mrs D P Taylor, of Medley, who, after a short and very painful illness of diphtheria, departed this life November 21, 1911, aged 8 years, 8 months and 3 days. Clara Lee was one of the brightest and most promising little girls of this community. She always wore a smiling face and her bright and cheery disposition won her many friends. She will be missed, but lightly expresses the sentiment of those who knew her as a daughter, sister, pupil, school-mate or friend. Clara Lee's funeral was preached Sunday, December 10, in the Medley M E Church, by Rev. Landstreet from the words of our Savior found in Matt. 10:14: "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." Keyser Tribune, December 22, 1911

TEETS, Lester

Man Killed Under Falling Lumber Pile ~ Widow Lost First Husband, Two Sons In Drowning In 1945 A 59 - year - old Garrett county man, Lester Teets, of Friendsville, was killed Monday afternoon at a sawmill in Addison Township, Somerset county, Pa., when caught under a lumber pile as it collapsed. Dr. A. M. Uphouse, Somerset county coroner, said the lumberman died almost instantly of a fractured skull, brain concussion and broken right leg. Richard Coddington, owner and operator of the sawmill, was pinned under the lumber pile when it toppled over but escaped injury. A coroner's jury, which was impaneled a short time after the accident, ruled Teets lost his life in an unavoidable accident. Dr. Uphouse impaneled the jury in the Rishebarger Funeral Home, Addison, within four hours after the accident occurred. Coddington, the mill operator, told members of the coroner's jury workmen were loading cribbing blocks on a truck. He said he noticed the pile of lumber beginning to fall. Coddington testified he called to Teets to jump clear. His warning, he declared, was too late and the cribbing crashed down hitting Teets about the head and shoulders. The jury was informed by Coddington that his legs were pinned under the lumber. Other witnesses said they believed recent rains had weakened supports under the lumber pile causing it to collapse. The included Frank Montague, Addison; Raymond Silbaught and Mason Getz, both of Friendsville, MD., and Donald Deal, Confluence, all workers at the lumber camp. The tragedy was the fourth violent death to strike in the immediate family of Mrs. Teets within a three-year period. She and Lester Teets were married only three weeks. Her first husband, Oscar Uphold and two sons were drowned in 1945 when a boat capsized in Deep Creek Lake.

TENNANT, Sara D.

In sad but loving remembrance of my dear friend Sara D. Tennant, who was born Oct. 24, 1883, died Oct. 21, 1904, aged 20 years 11 months and 28 days. "Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love had bound the heart, Tis hard, so hard to speak the word Must we forever part. A loved one is gone from out circle, On earth we will meet her no more, But we know that some day she shall greet us, At home on the heavenly shore. Gone to a land of pure delight, Where saints immortal reign, Infinite day excludes the night, And peasures banish pain. Triumphant smiles the victors brow, Fanned by some angel's purple wing, Where is O Grave, thy victory now, Long" (d.od. Oct. 21, 1904; no date or publication)

THAYER, Ralph

The Republican - Jan. 18, 1894 - Death of Mr. Ralph Thayer, the Oldest Citizen of Oakland -- Mr. Ralph Thayer, the oldest citizen of Oakland and one of the earliest settlers of Garrett county died at his residence in Oakland on Saturday afternoon of a complication of diseases. The following short sketch of the life of the deceased is taken from the Oakland correspondence of the Cumberland News: "At the time of his death Mr. Thayer had attained the ripe age of nearly eighty-nine years, and was the oldest citizen of Oakland. He was born on the first of September, 1805, in Northampton county, Massachusetts. When the deceased was about twelve years of age his parents came to Western Maryland, traveling all the way in wagons, for there were no railroads in those days. In 1818 Stephen Thayer, father of the deceased, with his family, settled at what is now known as the Spiker farm, about two miles from Oakland, on the Aurora road. There he reared a family of eleven children, seven daughters and four sons. Of these only three are now living, Eliza Dixon, Elk Garden, W. Va.; Helen Ashby, wife of William Ashby, and Mariah, wife of John L. Browning. The last two live near Oakland. Even in his boyhood days the subject of this sketch was ambitious, and at the ageof 21 years left the farm and went to Addison, Pennsylvania, where he secured a position as clerk in the store of Hunt & Darr(?)all. He remained there until 1839, when he married Mary Migchell and returned to Maryland and commenced merchandising at Selbysport on his own account. Immediately after his return to Maryland he was elected a member of the House of Delegates and served in that body during the memorable session of 1840. Mr. Thayer had a most wonderful memory, which was unimpaired to the day of his death. After the close of the session of the legislature in which he served he kept trace of the other members and could tell the subsequent history of each. He remarked only a few weeks ago that he was the last surviving member of the House of 1840. After his return from Annapolis he continued the business of the (several words not legible) and during the whole of that period filled the office of postmaster. "In 1863, he came to Oakland and continued from that time, to reside here. He was, during the days of reconstruction following the war, connected with the office of internal revenue. He was also census enumerator in 1870. For ten years next preceding President Cleveland's first term, he served as postmaster at Oakland. Since that time he has not been actively engaged in business. Mr. Thayer was always a prominent figure in his community,and no man in this section was more intimately connected with the history of this locality than he. As a public official he was honest, efficient and faithful to every trust which was committed to his care. In policies he was an uncompromising Republican. For more than fifty years he was an upright and consistent member of the M. E. Church and died in the faith in which he lived. "As a neighbor he was always kind and considerate and had a very large circle of intimate friends. To his immediate family he was most affectionate and I have rarely, if ever, seen a stronger attachment between father and children than that which existed between the deceased and his sons and daughters. He leaves two daughters and four sons surviving him, who have the sympathy of the entire community in the hour of this "their great affliction." "Full of honors, full of years, surrounded by his family and friends the old patriarch passed away. Like Enoch of old he walked with God, and was not, for God took him."' The funeral of the deceased occurred on Monday from St. Paul's M. E. Church, and notwithstanding the inclement weather the funeral was oneof the largest ever witnessed in Oakland. The services were conducted by Rev. G. W. Kepler assisted by Drs. Alexander and Ison and Rev. John M. Davis. The active pall-bearers were Messrs. D. H. Loar, Geo. M. Mason, Thomas J. Peddicord, Geo. M. Bosley, Dr. A. Wagner, and ex-Senator R. T. Browning. The interment was made in Odd Fellows' cemetery. Note: John Lynn Browning married Maria Thayer, daughter of Stephen Thayer and Martha Packard. She died in Thayerville. A brother of Maria, Ralph Thayer belonged to the M.E. Church.

THAYER, Ralph

The Republican - Jan. 25, 1894 - Death of a Pioneer-- In the recent death of Mr. Ralph Thayer at Oakland Garrett county has lost one of its most widely known and highly respected citizens. Mr. Thayer was the last link which bound these closing years of the 19th century to its opening. Having been born in Massachusetts in 1805 he had listened to stirring tales of the days of "76" from the lips of those who had participated in them--his grandfather, Captain Abel Thayer, having been one of General Gates officers and taken an active part in the battle of Saratoga and others. Mr. Thayer's memory was something phenomenal. He could quote poems he had not read for nearly 50 years and after the lapse of 77 years he recalled and wrote out in a firm clear hand the route his father and his two uncles, Murray and Job Thayer, pursued when they emigrated from Massachusetts to Maryland about 1816. Starting from Northhampton in December they came across Connecticut, passing through Litchfield, which was then the largest town in the state; from there to Fishvile. N. Y., where they crossed the Hudson to Newburg; then through Western New Jersey, crossing the Delaware at Easton, Pa., through Reading, Carlisle and Harrisburg where the Susquehanna was crossed and after passing through Shippensburg, Hancock, Cumberland,Cresaptow and Westernport, "Yough Glades" was reached the 22nd of February. Land was purchased, a home built and orchard planted and the family of nine sturdy New England boys and girls set to work to hew out a home in the wilderness, 2-1/2 miles from the present site of Oakland on what is now known as the "Abraham Spiker place," on the Aurora road. At that time their nearest neighbors were the Rhineharts, 4 miles away, who lived where Sunnyside P. O. stands. There too was the nearest school house. The first log church stood on the site of the old cemetery on the Totten place and the first postoffice was in a log cabin at the same place kept by Isaac McCarty and was known as Yough Glades P.O. In those days the whole of what now is Garrett county did not contain half as many inhabitants as the town of Oakland to-day. One could ride 20 miles and never see a house or a human being. Then the scream of a panther or the howl of the wolf was heard in the silent watches of the night. Bears and deer were more plentiful than pheasants are today. Everyone made their own sugar from the maples nature had so lavishly supplied; they raised flax and from it spun and wove table cloths, towels, tickings and summer clothing. All the wool then carded, spun and woven by hand. Roads were but little better than bridle paths and salt was brought on pack horses from Cumberland and the Big Kanawha salt works. The nearest doctor was at Cumberland, 50 miles away. The only store stood near the present site of the historic Red House and was kept by a man named Caston. Dry goods were hauled from Baltimore and Alexandria and calico was 50 cents per yard. The site of Oakland was first called "Slab Town," from one of Mr. Thayer's uncles having built a grist mill there of slabs about 1824. Mr. Thayer's mother died in 1865 leaving 136 descendants. She often told of having seen the British "red coats" march through Boston. She carried a scar to her grave which she received during the Revolutionary war. She had seven daughters who were said to have been the prettiest girls, the most graceful dancers and the best cooks in Western Maryland long years ago. In those days a wedding was a great event and people came for 30 miles around and made merry for three or four days. Six of the daughters married and reared numerous families, many of whom are among Garrett county's most substantial citizens. In early life Mr. Thayer kept store in Garrett. His goods were purchased from Hamilton Easter and hauled by wagons a distance of nearly 250 miles. In 1840 he represented Allegany in the legislature. He was postmaster at Oakland for 10 or 12 years. In all the relations of life he was an upright christian gentleman and we shall not soon look upon his like again.

THOMAS, Samuel Eugene

Gas Leak Blamed for Blast A fuel storage tank explosion fire Thursday afternoon in Oakland which claimed the life of a Friendsville man and critically burned another resident of the community was caused by gasoline leaking from the tank onto the hot muffler of a flat bed truck which was hauling the large tank. Samuel Eugene Thomas, 50, driver of the truck, was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger in the cab of the truck, Lowell Edward Sines, 28, who was severely burned, remained in “critical” condition last night in the Burn Unit of West Penn Hospital, Pittsburgh. He reportedly sustained burns to over 70 percent of his body of which 25 percent reportedly are third degree burns. Mr. Sines told a physician that he was riding in the cab of the truck which was traveling east on Liberty street. He thought the truck had backfired. He said he looked around and saw the tank engulfed in flames and as he tried to get out of the cab the explosion occured. Mr. Sines ran through a field, his clothes afire and was found about 98 feet from the scene of the explosion-fire. He was taken to Garrett County Memorial Hospital for treatment and transported to the hospital in Pittbsurgh. Robert H. Shimer, fire investigator for the state fire marshal’s office Allegany and Garrett counties, said his investigation revealed that gasoline had been ignited by the muffler after leaking from the tank. The storage tank, according to Mr. shimer, had been loaded onto the truck at a storage area about a mile from where the explosion occurred. It was a used tank and had been taken out of the ground and drained last fall by Gulf Oil Corporation Products. The fill cap had been placed back on the tank before it was loaded on the truck. The fill pipe was removed. The explosion-fire occurred at 1 p.m. and volunteer firemen from Oakland were on the scene within minutes. There was considerable damage to a dwelling near the scene and buildings within about a three block radius shook as a result of the explosion. State Police assisted Oakland police and the fire investigator in the probe of the explosion-fire. Born in Garrett County, Mr. Thomas was the son of George and Sarah E. (Fosbrink) Thomas, Friendsville. He was a member of the Garrett County School Bus Association and Independent Businessmen’s Association, Baltimore; the Garrett County Farm Bureau and Friendsville Camp, Woodmen of the World. Surviving besides his parents are his widow, Lois (VanSickle) Thomas; two sons, Rodney E. Thomas, Painesville, Ohio, and Gerald W. Thomas, Friendsville; five brothers, Burgett Thomas, Richard Thomas, Jack Thomas, Lowell Thomas and Kenneth Thomas, all of Friendsville; two sisters, Mrs. Shirley Fisher, Addison, Pa., and Mrs. Darlene Sisler, Friendsville; and three grandchildren. Friends will be received in the Newman Funeral Home, Friendsville, today from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Services will be conducted Sunday at 2 p.m. in the Sand Spring Church of God by Rev. Vernon Witt and Rev. Jack Gray. Interment will be in the Thomas Cemetery, Marklesburg, Pa. The body will be taken to the church Sunday at 1 p.m.

"Clarysville--Man Suicide At Road House--Celanese Worker Was Part Time Bartender-Shot Self After Easter Flower Tilt-- Wilfred Vincent Tighe, 36, Clarysille a Celanese employe; shot and killed himself early last night in Carrico Gardens, a beer tavern service station at Clarysville, where he also worked as a bartender. Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, issued a verdict of suicide and said the blast from a 12 gauge single barrel shotgun ripped through his heart and lung about 6:45 p. m. State Police, who assisted in the investigation, said Tighe returned home yesterday afternoon from Frostburg where he had purchased an Easter flower for his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth (Davis) Tighe, whom he relieved from duty at the bar. The couple lived in an apartment above the place, located opposite Mcmurdo's Garage. Gave Wife Easter Flower According to Trooper William Baker, Mrs. Tighe reprimanded her husband for buying the flower and said the money could be used for a better purpose. A patron identified as Richard M. Connor, 59, Red Hill, Eckhart, was in the tavern at the time. Connor told police that Mrs. Tighe then left and her husband remarked "Something's going to happen-I'm going to finish it right here.' He also left after he noticed Tighe go into a store room behind the jar and pick up the shotgun. After Connor closed the door and walked a short distance, police were told, he heard a shot and rushed back into the place to find Tighe lying in a pool of blood on the floor in the room. He rushed upstairs and notified the family and Tighe's half-brother, Homer Schriner, along with Walter Brown, proprietor of the place. Relatives called the LaVale substation and First Sgt. W. E. O'Hara and Trooper Baker went to the scene. Was Asthma Sufferer Authorities surmised that Tighe, described as having a "long reach," put the gun muzzle against his left chest and pushed the trigger with a finger. Another gun was found in the room. Dr. Deming said the family told him that the victim had been ill with asthma for some time. Mrs. Tighe reported that she and her husband had no serious arguments, but "just, the usual misunderstandings." Born at Frostburg, Tighe had been employed in the filtration department at he Celanese plant. He resided at Clarysville about two years. Surviving, in addition to his widow, are two children, Robert, 12, and Judy Tighe, 5, at home. He was a son of Mrs. Lena Chambers, Frostburg.

TILGHMAN, Frisby Lynn

A PASSING TRAIN KILLS FRISBY LYNN TILGHMAN ~ Terrible End of a Useful and Highly Esteemed Citizen ~ STRUCK BY ENGINE OF MOVING TRAIN. The news of the sudden and sad termination of the earthly career of Mr. Frisby Lynn Tlighman[sic] cast a wave of genuine sadness and sorrow over the entire city this afternoon. It seems that Mr. Tilghman met his death under the following circumstances: He had left his office in the Queen City Glass works, in South Cumberland, and was on his usual way to the glass company, where he always reported prior to coming up town to his home on Washington street. When at a point about 200 feet from Virginia avenue crossing he stepped out of the way of an emigrant train going west, when he stepped in front of Baltimore and Ohio accommodation train No. 18 going east, and was instantly killed. The accident occurred at 3 o'clock this afternoon. The remains were taken in charge by Undertaker Butler and removed to the morgue, where, after being prepared for burial, they will be taken to his late residence. Had Mr. Tilghman lived until the 4th of July next he would have been 77 years of age. He was born at Rose Hill, this city, and resided here all his life, with the exception of what times business affairs called him to spend some time away from home. He was connected with the engineer corps, at the time the B. & O. R. R. was being constructed between here and Wheeling, W. Va. For many years he was employed with the Borden Mining Co., with headquarters at the canal wharf. After disconnecting himself with the mining company, some eighteen years ago, he became connected with the Queen City Glass works as traveling sales ?????[unreadable] engaged in at the time of his death. He was married to Miss Bowling, of Petersburg, Va., who with two daughters, survive. The latter Miss Donna Tilghman, this city amd Mrs. Dr. Pearce, of Baltimore, and one sister, Miss Fannie, who makes her home with the family of the deceased. He was related to the family of Judge Henderson and other prominent Cumberland people. Details of the Accident The train struck Mr. Tilghman with such force as to through[sic] him many feet from the track on which the accident occurred. A big gash in the back of his head bled profusely, his left leg was crushed below the knee and there were other cuts and bruises about the body. Death was evidently instantaneous and painless. As soon as the extremely sad accident became known, Rev. Mr. Hicks, pastor of Emmanuel Episcopal church of which the deceased was a devoted member, together with Dr. W. W. Wiley, in as gently a manner as possible made known to Mrs. Tilghman what had happened, and did all that could be done to console the family in their terrible affliction. No man ever lived in Cumberland was better known or better liked than he who had his life whiped out so suddenly this afternoon. He was a regular fund of information and an authority on almost any subject. The deceased was one of those cheerful individuals whose very countenance was an inspiration to the disconsolate, as on one could have been in the company of Mr. Tilghman without feeling that the cares of life had been lessened, and that there was a ray of sunshine in the darkest cloud. His death in such a tragic manner has removed a dealy beloved citizen, whom all Cumberland will miss, not only in a social way, but in a [unreadable], as well. He kept alive with the times and was always ready and willing to lend a helping hand to anything that could tend to the advancement of his native city.

A mixed train, made up of passenger coaches and freight cars, was wrecked Monday morning at 10 o'clock, on the Virginia & Pittsburg branch of S. & O. abut two miles east of of [sic] Buckhannon. Firemen Thomas Timms, of Weston, was killed outright and his body was found beneath the engine, about two hours after the accident occurred.

Engineer VanHorn jumped from the engine just in time to save his life, as the engine turned over. None of the passengers was injured but they were badly shaken up and frightened.

The dead fireman, Thomas Timms, was aged about 30. He has a wife and children residing in Weston. The body was taken to his late home.

TIMNEY, Daniel

MET DEATH BY FALL OF COAL~ Fatal Accident in Mine Near Lonaconing Yesterday. THE FATE OF DANIEL TIMNEY ~ His Body Still Under the Fall of Coal. Other Narrow Escapes from Death. John Patterson and Robert King Both Badly Hurt—Regular Cave-in. (From a Staff Correspondent.) Lonaconing, MD., Jan. 18 — While a party of eleven men were finishing the last cut in mine No. 9, of the American Coal Co., the mine caved in without the least warning about noon yesterday, causing the men to run for their lives, and all escaped but John Patterson, Robert King and Daniel Timney, miners of Moscow, who were caught under the debris. The mine is nearly worked out, and a number of men were removing a "stump" at this particular place when the cave-in occurred. They were: Daniel Timney. John W. Patterson, Howard Patterson, Robert King, Edward Patterson, James Jones, R. Murray, Howard Andrews, James Clark and James Fairgrieve. Only Timney, King and Jno. W. Patterson were caught by the falling tons of coal. King got out without assistance badly cut and bruised. Their fellow miners immediately set to work to rescue the men covered. After a few minutes work they reached Mr. Patterson, whose life was saved by being near the edge of the fall and also by being knocked by the force of the fall into the ditch. He was badly bruised and cut about the body, but no bones were broken He is resting very comfortably. The body of Mr Timney has not been recovered at (this writing), but it is almost sure that the life of Mr Timney is lost, as the fall brought in the surface up to day light. Mr. Timney leaves a wife and two children, who reside at Moscow.

TRESSLER, Mrs. Catherine Bird

An aged Meyersdale resident died in Meyersdale Community Hospital last Thursday, two days after she was involved in an automobile accident just south of Meyersdale. Mrs. Catherine Tressler, 77, wife of Joseph L. Tressler, Beachley Street, succumbed to a coronary occlusion in the local hospital. Coroner Robert H. Halverson, who investigated, said that the accident in which she was involved was secondary, and therefore an inquest will probably be unnecessary. The accident in which Mrs. Tressler was involved occurred on Tuesday afternoon, July 14, on Route 219, about one-half mile south of Meyersdale. Mr. Tressler, who was driving the family car, was making a left hand turn from Route 219 to the Ralph Laughery Body Shop, where he was taking his car for repairs. As Tressler turned from 219, he was involved in a collision with a car driven by Robert Crissey, 27, also of Meyersdale, who was traveling in the opposite direction. Both Mr. and Mrs. Tressler were removed to Meyersdale Community Hospital. Mrs. Tressler suffered lacerations to the scalp, crushed ribs, and was in extreme shock. Her death, however, was caused by a heart attack. Mr. Tressler was also injured in the accident and remains a patient at the hospital. He suffered a fractured leg and knee and lacerations to the scalp. He is said to be in improved condition. Mr. Tressler served a number of years on the Meyersdale borough council. Mrs. Catherine Bird Tressler was born on August 20, 1880, in Summit Township, a daughter of the late Orville and Hulda (Shultz) Bird. Surviving are her husband, mentioned previously, and two children, Mrs. Roland Maust, Crafton, Ohio; the Rev. J. Ward Tressler, Lansing, Mich.; one sister, Mrs. Maude Suder, Meyersdale RD 2, and four grandchildren. She was a member of the Meyersdale Brethren Church. Friends were received at the Konhaus Funeral Home, Meyersdale, where services were conducted Sunday, the Rev. Ralph C. Hall, pastor of Meyersdale Brethren Church, officiated.

TRICKETT, Carl (also Davis, Martha)

Looking Back 1935: Blast kills Oakland farmer, housekeeper ~ James Rada Jr., Columnist Carl Trickett, a 38-year-old electrician, left his work at the Shallmar Powerhouse around 3 a.m. on a cold Saturday morning in January 1935. He drove to his home, a dairy farm two miles west of Oakland, and caught some needed shut-eye.The car remained outside his house until he, two of his four children and his housekeeper got into the car on Sunday to drive to Morgantown, W.Va., where Trickett’s brother lived. They never arrived. Two miles from Terra Alta within sight of the Hopemont Sanitarium, the car exploded. “Small trees and bushes were cut off and mowed down for a distance of 75 feet from the highway by flying particles of the front end of the machine,” the Charlestown Daily Mail reported. Trickett was “killed by small bits of the motor as the explosion rocked the entire neighborhood,” according to the newspaper. William and Margaret Trickett, ages 12 and 13, were thrown from the car, as was Martha Davis the housekeeper. Davis was killed immediately, but the children survived, battered and bloody. “A Hopemont worker, first to reach the scene, said the badly bleeding children were attempting to extricate their father from the overturned car, which caught fire,” according to the Charleston Daily Mail . The worker helped get Trickett’s body out of the wreckage and took him to the hospital where he died shortly after arriving. It quickly became apparent that the explosion hadn’t been an accident. Theories began to make the rounds as to what had happened, from kerosene replacing the antifreeze in the radiator to dynamite being placed in the car. The latter proved to be true. “State’s Attorney Neil C. Fraley said he believed the dynamite had been placed on Trickett’s motor and exploded when the heat became intense enough to set it off,” the Baltimore Sun reported. Law officers from both West Virginia and Maryland began investigating the explosion. Though the explosion had happened in West Virginia, Garrett County Sheriff Clarence Spears investigated because no one knew where or when the explosives might have been planted in the car. The Cumberland Evening Times reported that two days after the explosion on Jan. 8 Wallace and Thomas Davis of Shallmar, Martha Davis’ husband and son, were arrested. It wasn’t for Martha’s murder, though. Wallace had signed his brother-in-law’s name to a promissory note to pay for his wife’s funeral. Trickett was buried in Oakland on Jan. 9 and Davis’ funeral was in Shallmar on the following day. The Davis men were allowed to attend the funeral, but they had to be accompanied by a deputy. They were returned to the jail following the service, not only because of the fraud and forgery, but the newspaper reported that by then they had become suspects in the explosion. No reason was given for why the Wallaces had become suspects, though the sheriff traveled to Shallmar as part of his investigation. “The trip was made in an effort to check on the theory an enemy of Trickett had hidden dynamite in his automobile while he was working in a power plant there,” according to the Cumberla nd Evening Times . Though no resolution to the case can be found, one plausible theory is that Trickett and Davis met while Trickett was doing his work at the Shallmar power plant. Did they have an affair that Wallace found out about and took extreme action to end? No answer is known and no one was ever brought to trial for the murder.

TROUTMAN, Mrs. Ann

Tuesday morning as the passenger train northward bound was approaching Hopewell it struck and killed Mrs. Ann Troutman, widow of the late Jacob Troutman. She had spent the night at Langdondale and was returning to her home at Hopewell when the accident occurred. She had just stepped onto the railroad, which has a footpath at that point, near the Simon Foundry, when the engine struck her. The woman was hard of hearing, which was a factor in her being struck. The road has a sharp curve at that point and it was impossible for the engineer or the fireman to see her in time. She was killed almost instantly, breathing but a couple times after being struck. The only mark, on her was a contusion on her head. She was aged about 70 years and is survived by three sons and two daughters.

Cumberland Md, Feb 14 - Saying as he claims, jestingly, "I will shoot your toes off," Lint Helmick, son of George W. Helmick, at Hendricks, W. VA., discharged a rifle with which he had been hunting and the ball entered the stomach of Miss Maggie Turner, aged nineteen years. She died in a few hours. Helmick had been called to dinner, and because of his being slow, Miss Turner said she would take a broomstick to him. He was at the time fumbling with the loaded gun. The shooting, which Helmick says was accidental, followed. No one witnessed the tragedy.

TURNER, Miss May

(see follow-up story " Murder & Mayhem ") With the top of her head blown off, Miss May Turner of New Baltimore, Somerset County, was found at the home of Howard Corley near New Buena Vista, Juniata Township, this county, Sunday afternoon, breathing her last. Corley says he believes the girl committed suicide, but this theory is discredited by all who have been connected with the investigation. The discrediting of the suicide theory advanced by Corley is due to the fact that the almost lifeless body of the girl was found in the room, with the shotgun containing a recently-exploded shell standing nearby, while there was a broken pane of glass in the window through which the shot had entered and numerous tiny leaden pellets were found i mbedded[sic] in the wall in range with the hole in the window pane. Broken glass was strewn over the table at which the young lady was sitting when shot, and the floor was covered with spots of blood and pieces of the broken glass. There is no doubt that the person who fired the shot at the girl placed the weapon in the room after the crime was committed in order to leave the impression that the girl had fired the shot that ended her life. According to all the information obtained, Miss Turner, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Emanuel Turner, of New Baltimore, last Thursday went to the home of Corley, who is her uncle, to keep house for him during the absence of Mrs. Corley, who was visiting her father, Solomon Ritchey, in Napier Township, this county. Miss Turner had in her care at the time three small children. Corley said he was out in the haymow of his barn at the time the girl was shot and that the first he knew of the tragedy was when one of his little sons ran to him and told him of finding the wounded girl in the room. Corley says he did not hear the shot. The child when questioned said he was playing in an outhouse when he heard the shot and soon afterward found the wounded girl and ran to the barn, telling his father what had happened. Corley then notified Squire Bittner, the nearest neighbor, and when Mr. Bittner appeared he found the girl unconscious and breathing her last, a gaping wound in the head being the cause of death. Sheriff Grant Dodson, Deputy Sheriff Andrew Dodson, District Attorney D. C. Reiley and Miss Lulu Naus, a stenographer, went to New Buena Vista Monday morning and secured all the evidence available, including a statement from Corley to the effect that he believed the girl had fired the shot that ended her life. When Corley was shown how the shot had plowed through the window and some of the leaden missiles had struck the wall on the other side of the room, he is reported to have said that he could offer no explanation as to these phases of the situation. So far as could be learned from the county officials who investigated the case, no motive for the crime has yet been established. It is believed, however, that evidence of direct nature is being withheld for the inquest, which is expected to place the crime upon the suspect. It is said that Corley was drunk Saturday night and Sunday, and when in this condition is considered a bad man. Squire L. C. Markle of New Buena Vista, acting deputy coroner, empaneled the following jury: S. C. Mowry, John M. Housel, H. E. Whisker, Bruce Zeigler, A. P. Suter and Harry Suter, which met on Monday and questioned Corley, his children and several others, but no agreement was reached by the jury. It is likely that another meeting will be held today, when a verdict will be rendered, as to how the young girl came to her death, and who is responsible for the deed. The funeral of the murdered girl was held Wednesday morning at New Baltimore in the Roman Catholic Church, of which she was a member. She was about 18 years old, was a comely young lady, and was held in high esteem by all who knew her.
