WINEBRENNER, Noah

Death Probe Discontinued
Investigation in the "possible foul play" death of a 60?69? year-old Keyser area man was discontinued yesterday when authorities were told he died of a cerebral hemorrhage apparently resulting from a fall. The victim, Noah Winebrenner, was found unconscious Friday afternoon on the floor of his home near Markwood along Route 50. He died in Potomac Valley Hospital at Keyser. Cpl. O. G. Webley of the West Virginia State Police said Winebrenner had a severe cut on the top of his head, causing authorities to suspect foul play. However, it was determined the elderly man fell against a door frame and was knocked unconscious. Webley assisted Prosecuting Attorney Vernon E.Rankin in the probe. It is not known whether the hemorrhage resulted from the cut. Dorothy Grimm, 17, and her brother, James, 14, who reside at the Winebrenner residence, made the discovery after they returned home from Keyser High and New Creek Elementary schools, respectively, Friday. The summoned a neighbor who telephoned for an ambulance.

Interesting News Notes of the Day ~ MR. GEO. WINKLER DEAD. Passes Away at His Home In Barton.
Lonaconing, Md., April 7. George Winkler died at his home in Barton Wednesday night at 9:45. Mr. Winkler had been an invalid several years, but had been able to get about until about two weeks ago. He was a native of the province of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and came to this country in the early '60s. He lived in Newark, N. J., a short time and came to George's Creek in 1864. He lived in Lonaconing several years and spent some time in Piedmont. He returned to Germany for a brief visit and while there married Madeline Hohing, who is a sister to the late Conrad Hohing, of Lonaconing. Mrs. Winkler survives her husband, but is very feeble. Mr. Winkler leaves his sons, Adolph, August, Otto, Joseph and Edward, and one unmarried daughter, Miss Teresa. All these reside in Barton. George Winkler learned the locksmith's trade in Germany, and worked at it for several years after coming to this country. After coming to George's Creek he became a mine blacksmith and worked many years at the old Barton mine. Although always a working man, he acquired a thorough education, and was considered one of the best scholars in this region. He had a wonderfully retentive memory, and being a greedy reader, he kept well posted on all subjects of public interest. The funeral will take place from St. Gabriel's Church. Barton, tomorrow at 9 a. m., and will proceed from Barton to the Catholic cemetery by street car."
