Saturday, August 30th, while everybody was at work, they received the sad news that Oscar Shreve's wife had drowned. People quit their work and ran to the rescue, but on arrival found that the drowned was beyond recovery. Her husband being away from home, she started some time (not known exactly) in the morning with her oldest child, which was about five years old, to hunt her cow. After some time, the little child returned to its home and told its aged grandparents, who live in an adjoining house that mother had fallen down the river and didn't move any more.

CUMBERLAND, Md., May 4 — One of the three girls born early Wednesday to Mr. and Mrs. Roy E. Shroyer died tonight in Memorial Hospital. The hospital reported the other two girls remained in incubators and seem to be all right. The triplets, first born here in 18 years, were the first children for the Hyndman, Pa., couple. They were too tiny to be weighed at birth, but appeared to scale about two pounds each. The first birth occurred at Memorial Hospital at 3:27 a.m.  The second came along nine minutes later, and the third followed the second in another nine minutes.

SHRYER, George F.

Sudden Death of Well Known and Worthy Citizen
Our community was painfully started yesterday by the unexpected announcement of the death of Mr George F Shryer, an old and respected citizen of Cumberland at his residence on Decatur Street. Mr Shryer attended the services at the First Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, occupying his  accustomed place in the choir, and was out as late on Sunday night as bedtime. Yesterday, we learn, that he was in his usual health and had carefully shaved himself with the intention of going down in the city. Complaining of a pain in the breast a moment after, he sat down on a chair from which he fell and in a few minutes breathed his last. The stroke was evidently apoplectic, with bit little or no premonition of its fatality.  Mr. Shryer was sixty-three years of age.  At one period of his life he held the position of City Clerk, whose duty he faithfully and intelligently filled. During the past three years he was identified in our city post office as cashier, giving such entire satisfaction in that capacity that a public acknowledgement of his faithfulness was made by the postmaster who expressed reluctance at his resignation. His sudden death, which occurred about half- past ten o'clock yesterday morning, created a sensation of painful surprise among his many friends. He leaves a widow and five children. The funeral will take place from the First Presbyterian Church this evening at three o'clock
