TIGHE, Wilfred Vincent

"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.  The body was taken to the Durst Funeral Home, 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. The train was running late and was going at fast speed, when the rails spread, causing the engine to be derailed and thrown from the track, followed by five cars being turned over. 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.

A FATAL ACCIDENT
A very sad accident occurred to Mr. Geo. Tippen yesterday evening. Mr. Tippen has just finished his supper and had gone out his gate and turned to close it, when the quarter after six street car struck him. He lived but a short while. Mr. McKluckle was running the car, and did everything to make him hear, but all in vain. A coal train was passing and he could not hear the street car in time to get of the way.  Mr. Tippen is survived by his wife and the following children: William, George, Harry, Misses Clara, Ella, Theresa, Della, Mrs. Thos. Winters, Mrs. Jas. Higgins, all residing here and Miss Emma Tippen, who resides in Cumberland. The funeral arrangements have not yet been made. The accident was witnessed by Mr. Tippen's wife and several of his children, who were sitting on the front porch. Dr. Girffith of Frostburg, was summoned, but before he arrived, life was extinct. Mr. Tipper was miner by occupation and a most highly esteemed citizen, whose sad end has cast gloom over the entire community.  Coroner O'Neill reached the scene of the accident this morning and immediately summoned the following jury of inquest: Otto Hobing, foreman: John McCaughan, George Bunnett, J. S. Metzgar, John Chambers, Perry Weimar, Jas McMillan, Owen England, Uriah Jones, Henry Krause, James Fuller, John Footen. At two o'clock the jury had not rendered a verdict.

Gehauf & Maver Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and held the inquest upon the remains and after examining several witnesses, the jury returned the following verdict: Mr Tippen came to his death as a result of injuries sustained from being struck by a car on the Lonaconing division of the C & W R.R. and that the aforesaid company and employees be exhonorated from all blame in the matter, as Mr Tippen's death was purely an accident. The funeral of the deceased will take place Friday morning at nine o'clock from St. Michael's Catholic church. Mr. Tippen was born in Scotland in 1847 and came to this country some years later. He is survived by his wife and a large family, all grown. The deceased was 56 years of age.

Clark, pastor, assisted by Rev. Joseph Noland, conducted services and celebrated high mass speaking very highly of the departed gentleman's Christian life.  At the conclusion of the beautiful Catholic ritual the funeral cortege proceeded to St. Michael's Catholic cemetery, where interment of the remains was conducted in the family burying plot. The high esteem and love in which Mr. Tippen was held in the community at large was amply evidenced by the very large concourse of friends who were in attendance at the funeral as it was without exception one of the largest that has occurred at this place for some time past. Mr. Tippen was born in Scotland and came to this country when young, settling in Allegany county and engaging in the coal mining industry, which avocation he followed up until the time of his death The deceased is survived by his wife, ten children and several brothers and sisters.
