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.

Constable Charles W. Thompson, brother, and Mrs. Florence Gordon, of Keyser, W. Va., a sister of Miss Samelia M. Thompson, who was found dead in her apartment on McCulloh street, Baltimore, last Thursday, are attending the funeral in Front Royal, Warrent County, Va. The body of Miss Thompson, who was 56 years old, was taken there Saturday evening. The discovery of Miss Thompson's death was made by a woman who lived in the apartment house and who detected the odor of gas while passing the former's door. Upon investigation it was learned that the gas had come from a leak in a pipe. Coroner Macht, of the Northwestern district, gave a certificate of death due to bronchitis, although he stated that the deadly fumes had hastened her end. The body was taken to the morgue. Miss Thompson, having no relatives in Baltimore, Marshal Farnan, however, conducted an investigation and learned that she had relatives in VA. and Allegany Co, notified them of her death.
