FOUND DEAD IN BED.  John Elbin, Aged Citizen, Succumbs to Appoplexy.  ELBIN 14 Aug 1908

When Mrs Henry Betz went to see why Henry Elbin, an aged carpenter in this city and a Union veteran, did not respond to her calls for him to come to his breakfast at Mrs Eaton's boarding house on North Liberty Street this morning, she found him lifeless. It is thought that Mr Elbin, who had not been well for the past year, was a victim of appoplexy, as the indications were that he had probably died in his sleep during the night. The deceased was 65 years of age and a member of a large connection in this county and was born near Flintstone. For many years, he was a resident of this city, working at the trade of carpenter. At one time he was engaged in the grocery business but of late years he had retired from the trade of carpenter as he was a pensioner. He is survived by the following children: Mrs Katherine Craig, wife of a former newspaper man of this city now living in Indiana; Mrs George Fradiska and Edward Elbin living in this city; brothers, Henry, Leonard, and George living in the city. His wife was a Miss Amanda Willison who had died several years ago.The funeral arrangements will be made on arrival of several of the relatives tonight.

William Elkins, Noted Hunter, Dies at Hancock ~ Was Personal Friend of Presidents Wilson and Roosevelt With Whom He Hunted and Fished ~ Was Expert Guide ~ Was Familiar With Mountains Where He Guided Sportsmen In Search of Game
“William Elkins, 70 years old, for more than 41 years a guide for the Woodmont Rod and Gun Club, who was a personal friend of President Woodrow Wilson and Theodore Roosevelt, members of Congress, diplomats and representative business and professional men who spent vacations at the club, died this morning at his home at Woodmont.  Few sportsmen who went to the Woodmont Club failed to look up "Senator" Elkins, as he was familiarly known.  He was an expert angler, knew where the fish could be found and in the game season, he sought out the spots where wild turkey, quail, English pheasants and rabbits were to be located for the sportsmen.  On numerous occasions during his life long service with the Woodmont Club was Mr. Elkins urged to take the position of manager of the club, but he always refused on the grounds that he would rather live on his farm, which adjoins the club grounds, with his family.  He declared he was satisfied to remain a guide for the club and that explanation generally ended arguments that he take the job.  When moving picture men were taking pictures at the Woodmont Club several years ago for a screen feature, they got much locale from Mr. Elkins, who they insisted get into the picture.  Just before former President Wilson died he sent for Mr. Elkins, who was also famous as an accordion player, and had him play for him at his home in Washington.  The war president also talked for hours with Mr. Elkins on his experiences at the Woodmont Club, of his fishing in Florida and Maine, and of the many hunting trips he had been on.  Both Ex-President Wilson and Roosevelt visited the club house, fished and shot game in the hills of the club reservation.  Mr. Elkins is survived by his wife, who was Miss Catherine Murphy, of Hancock.  He is survived by six children: Mrs. Ella McGreevy, of McKeesport, Mrs. Laura Hughes, and Mrs. Agnes McCullough, of Ridgeley, Mrs. Porter Hill, of Hancock and Augustus Elkins, of Gephart Drive, Cumberland, and Jesse Elkins, of Ridgeley.”

ELLIOTT, Samuel

On Friday Dec 12, a fatal accident occurred on the tram road of Schull & Co whose mills are located at Shaw. It was on the last trip in the evening and three trucks heavily loaded with logs were started down the grade each accompanied by a brakeman. At one place on the grade the track gave away as the front truck passed over it, but this truck passed over in safety. The brakeman on the second truck stopped his load in time to save himself and turned to signal the hindmost truck which had become unmanageable and struck the second truck with tremendous force. The boys were thrown seventy-five feet or more and the ground plowed up as the heavy logs were hurled hither and thither. Samuel Elliott who was lying on the logs of the hind truck, being intoxicated at the time, was thrown violently forward and instantly killed. He is a young man, being an employee of the milling company and a native of Pennsylvania. Samuel Shingledecker, brakeman on the second truck, was struck in the back by a log as he jumped from the car and miraculously escaped instant death. He received rather severe injuries. A Mr. Kimball also received slight injuries. Drs Z.T. Kalbaugh of Bloomington and L.L. Edgell of Elk Garden were summoned and rendered the necessary medical aid.

ELOSSER, Grace
TWIGG, C. E.

It is announced that the authorities in Cumberland have accepted the theory of Monoxide Gas Poisoning in the Twigg Elosser case and have dropped further proceeding. According to this theory, the death of C. E. Twigg and Grace Elosser was accidental and no blame can be attached to anyone, but the people of this vicinity do not accept that theory.

Cumberland Md, April 7 - Louis Elosser, 57 years old, died today from grief caused by the tragic end of his daughter, Grace, who was found with her fiance, Charles E. Twigg, on a settee in the parlor of the Elosser home, December 31, 1910. Their wedding was set for the following day.
While after six weeks' investigation, the authorities accept the theory of accidental death by carbon monoxide generated by a gas stove, the mystery has never been satisfactorily solved.
