Died, in Sapulpa, Oklahoma (formerly of Keyser), Feb. 7, 1913, Carter, son of Mr and Mrs Albert Smith, aged 4 years, 2 months and 27 days. Thus passed from earth to Heaven one of the sweetest children we have ever known. In little Carter we have lost the darling of our hearts and one of the most promising children. His unusual intelligence and goodness won for him a warm place in the hearts of all who knew him and the home once made happy by his joyous life, is now the abode of sorrow. Yet, we know we shall meet him again. May this transplanting of a beautiful flower lend new attractions to the home over which Death has cast a shadow.

FROSTBURG - Jack Ransom Smith, 83, passed away to his eternal reward on Tuesday, Aug. 24, 2010. He was the last surviving member of his family. Jack was born in Spartanburg, S.C., on Oct. 26, 1926 to Lonis Durham Sanders and Louis Edward Sanders. Jack was raised in Palm Beach County, Fla., and was formally adopted by his stepfather, Ransom Earl Smith. He served in the Merchant Marine during World War II. Jack moved to southern California with his family where he worked for Lockheed Aircraft Corporation. Jack's second step-father, Max Charles Beust and his mother conducted businesses at South Lake Tahoe and enticed Jack to manage their holdings. After the accidental death of his brother, Louis Earl Smith, and the demise of his step-father, Jack and his mother moved back to Spartanburg. After the death of his mother, Jack wanted to visit Ithaca, New York but got lost on the Pennsylvania Turnpike and ended up in Grantsville, Md. He wrote two published novels, THE CONTAINER IS READY and THE INTERGALACTIC EXPRESS. Both of which were inspired by his work at Lockheed. When he moved to Frostburg, he wrote his autobiography, SMOKEY MOUNTAIN LOVE STORY and another novel based on Max Beust's journals of the China-Burma Road, THE ODYSSEY OF THE 330TH COMBAT ENGINEERS. Upon meeting Eileen Stoger, he settled down in Garrett County to help run her ranch. One of Jack's recent joys was at the Naval Academy Chapel where he was Jeffrey (Eileen's son) Winebrenner's Best Man. He added a new daughter-in-law, Joanne Tuin, and two new grandchildren, David and Alexandria to his family. Jack is survived by the love of his life, Eileen Stoger and her family, Linda, Andrew and Daniel Winebrenner of Virginia Beach. According to his wishes, Jack will be cremated.

A terrible accident occurred last Tuesday morning, a few miles above Keyser, in which three men lost their lives and one is lying in a critical condition. The dead are D. W. Eagle, a well known business man, a farmer, a sawmill man and interested in many other enterprises around here; John Smith, aged 20 years; and John Gray. The injured man is Jos Boyce, who has a leg and arm broken and hurt about the back, and it is feared that he too, will die. Mr Eagle's son was also with the men, but escaped injury. The men were starting an old saw mill that had not been run for some time. In some way the boiler exploded. Smith was killed outright, Mr. Eagle died just as they reached the hospital with him, and Gray died the next morning. Eagle was crushed about the head and chest. Two other men were standing near, but both escaped without injury. Olin, Mr. Eagle's oldest son, was standing within a few feet of his father. Alex Shears, the fireman, who escaped, says there was only forty pounds of steam in the boiler at the time. They were all standing together watching one man lace a belt at the time. The men were all buried at the Duling church, Smith Wednesday, Gray Friday morning and Eagle yesterday afternoon. Mr Eagle was a member of the New Creek Council National Union, who had charge of the funeral, many of them attending. Services were conducted at his late home by Rev. A. P. Neel.

FROZE TO DEATH ~ M. S. Smith, A Young Brakeman, Fell From Train and Perished Before Assistance Reached Him.
Bureau Evening Times, Virginia Ave., South Cumberland, Monday.
Mr. M. S. Smith, a brakeman on the third division, fell from his train, an east bound freight, about 9 o'clock last night, on the eventeen mile grade, at No. 40 water station about 12 miles west of Piedmont. The unfortunate man slipped from one of the steel cars and being hurt too badly to get far away, he froze to death before assistance reached him. The brakeman was not missed by his crew until his train reached Frankville, several miles east. The crew on a west bound train was notified to look for the missing man, and found his body in a sitting position on the bank, near the tracks with the elbow resting upon the knee and the cheek upon the right hand. The body was frozen stiff when found. The man was severely cut about the body, and had lost much blood, but the trainmen who found him think these injuries came from the fall and that the man was not run over by the cars. He probably was too badly crippled to walk, and this with the loss of blood made him an easy victim of the severe weather. Mr. Smith was a popular brakeman, having been in the service some four years. He was about 25 years of age and was a native of Terra Alta, W, VA., where his father runs a pumping engine. The young man boarded in South Cumberland, and was well thought of. It was about three hours from the time Mr. Smith fell from his train until he was found by the crew of passenger train No. 1. The body was afterwards brought to Piedmont and prepared for burial, after which it was sent to the home of the deceased at Terra Alta, W. Va.
