Roy Talbott, 24 years old, was shot and killed by his brother, aged 18, yesterday evening while turkey hunting. The accident occurred near St. George, seven miles from this place. The brothers separated after having agreed to meet at a certain place. The younger boy seeing an object moving in the brush shot a load of buck shot in his brother's head. The injured man lived until 12 o'clock last night, and was conscious most of the time. He leaves a wife and one child. The father, an aged man, is prostrated with grief, having lost two sons in railroad accidents and two by typhoid fever previous to this time. Just ten years ago to the very day, two brothers by the name of Pifer were rabbit hunting at almost the identical spot when the younger one was shot and killed by his brother.

TANSEY, Patrick

Last Saturday morning when James McDonald of Barton went to the shanty occupied by Patrick Tansey to collect rent, he found his tenant dead in bed.  Patrick Tansey lived alone in the little house and had very few visitors.  He had a wife and two children, but his wife had not lived with him for a long time and his children are with relatives in Baltimore.  Tansey had been dead at least 24 hours when found.  He was about 54 years of age and a native of Mt Savage.  He is survived by several brothers and sisters, none of them residing hereabouts.  His aged father died about a year ago and about ten years ago, his mother and brother died within an hour or two of each other of the same malady.  The coroner came from Cumberland on Saturday to view the remains and did not think an inquest necessary.  The funeral took place yesterday afternoon and interment was made in the Catholic cemetery in Barton.

PETERSBURG ITEMS - A daughter, of Mr and Mrs D P Taylor, of Medley, aged about eight years, died Mon of diphtheria.
Keyser Tribune, December 1, 1911

Posted July 29, 2010

Never, perhaps, has our community received a more sudden shock of grief than that which was occasioned by the unexpected death of Clara Lee, daughter of Mr and Mrs D P Taylor, of Medley, who, after a short and very painful illness of diphtheria, departed this life November 21, 1911, aged 8 years, 8 months and 3 days. Clara Lee was one of the brightest and most promising little girls of this community. She always wore a smiling face and her bright and cheery disposition won her many friends. She will be missed, but lightly expresses the sentiment of those who knew her as a daughter, sister, pupil, school-mate or friend.
Clara Lee's funeral was preached Sunday, December 10, in the Medley M E Church, by Rev. Landstreet from the words of our Savior found in Matt. 10:14: "Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me, for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

One of Hampshire's oldest and most widely known physicians and one of her prominent citizens passed away when Dr. K. Taylor died at his home, at Slanesville, Thursday night of last week. Dr. Taylor came to this county from Loudoun county, Virginia, during the first decade following the Civil War. Shortly afterward he married a Miss Rannells who, with four sons and two daughters, survives him. He had a very large practice and was regarded as a most successful and skillful physician. Dr. Taylor was a soldier in the Confederate Army, was a member of Pickett's division, and was in that General's famous charge at Gettysburg. He was knocked down by a minie ball near the stone fence, almost at the "high water" mark of the Confederacy and carried the print of the ball on the side of his head to the day of his death. Last summer he attended the great Reunion on the Gettysburg field and in company with friends from this county re-visited and identified the spot where he fell fifty years before. The funeral occurred Sunday and the interment was at Salem Church.
