Frostburg, Md., Aug. 15 - John Henry Rosenberger, 15-year-old high school student, was found drowned in the old reservoir near here this afternoon after being missing from his home about two miles west of here near the National Highway, since Tuesday. According to members of his family, he left his home Tuesday evening, planning to visit his sister, Mrs. Clara McKenzie, near Finzel, and when he did not return, his family assumed he had decided to stay on his sister's farm a few days. 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. Surviving are the boy's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Rosenberger; four brothers, Thomas and Gurney Rosenberger of near Flnzel, and Arthur and Emory Rosenberger at home. He also leaves six sisters, Mrs. Anthony Drees and Mrs. James McKenzie, near Finzel; Mary, Alberta, Edna, and Evelyn Rosenberger, at home. The youth was well known here and had been a student of Beall High School.

ROUDABUSH, Nicholas Ealy
 
The body of Nicholas E. Roudabush, whose unfortunate death occurred on Thursday, June 10, was discovered floating in the stream Tuesday morning of this week. Thursday afternoon, June 10, F. W. Smith and Nicholas E. Roudabush, returning from work attempted to cross the creek at the Hershiser crossing in an open buggy. While in the stream, which was considerably swollen, Mr. Smith was giving full attention to his horse when Roudabush fell into the water. Smith made an effort to catch him but failed. The body was carried into the deep water. When Smith made an effort to turn his horse and drive below Roudabush in the stream, his buggy was upset, his horse tore loose, and pulled Mr. Smith, who held to the lines, to the bank, the buggy being carried down stream about a mile. A search for the body was made Thursday evening, all possible means being used without avail. The search was continued throughout Friday and Saturday by many in the community. Sunday, the whole community turned out, and delegations from Schellsburg, New Buena Vista, Bedford, Wolfsburg, Point, and other places joined in the search, lining the creek for several miles. On Monday the search was continued, but it was not until Tuesday morning about 8 o'clock that the body was discovered by Mrs. Milton Harline and her little boy, floating upon the stream about 800 feet below his home, just below the Mullin bridge. The body was taken to the undertaking establishment of H. F. W. Miller where an inquest was held, after which it was prepared for burial. The funeral service was conducted in the M. E. Church at Mann's Choice by Rev. G. W. King at 4:30 on Tuesday. The services were largely attended. Interment was made at Mt. Olivet Cemetery below town. Nicholas Ealy Roudabush was a son of Jacob and Drucilla Roudabush, and was 18 years, three months and four days of age. He is survived by his mother, one brother and one sister. At the time of his death he was president of W. C. No. 421, Pa., P. O. S. of A., at Schellsburg. He was a young man of good habits and was especially kind to his widowed mother.
