JACKSON, Homer
The body of Homer "Stony" Jackson, 24, of Frostburg, was found floating in Deep Creek Lake this morning about 70 feet from the shoreline near McHenry in 20 feet of water. James Morgan, of Carlos, who had been camping with Jackson and three other men at the lake, discovered the body about 9:30. Jackson had been missing since about 5 p.m. Wednesday and state Police and volunteers under the direction of Fred C. "Buck" Dreyer, veteran local waterman, had been dredging the area where he was last seen since that time. Jackson, former outstanding boxer in amateur circles in the late 1930's, went out on the lake in a boat about 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, with Joseph F. Smith, of Frostburg, a member of the camping party. When they reached a point opposite the cottage of John Shober, of this city, Jackson told Smith he intended to swim to shore and plunged into the water. That was the last Smith saw of him, Smith rowing to shore and returning to the cottage. Jackson was reputed to be a strong swimmer. Smith, Jackson, and Warren Plummer of Wright's Crossing, and James and Frank Morgan, both of Carlos, had rented the cottage from Henry Yates, Frostburg. When Jackson did not appear for several hours, the other campers began a search for him. Later it developed that a waitress at the Point View Inn had remembered serving him a beer about 5 p.m. It is believed that Jackson returned to the water and drowned while swimming to the area of the lake opposite the cottage he and his companions had rented. Jackson is survived by his widow, Mrs. Eleanor Jenkins Jackson, two children, Judy, 2 1/2 years, and Billy, nine months; his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Jackson, Welsh Hill, Frostburg; two brothers, Orville, with the Marines in the Pacific, and Merrell, with the Navy in the Pacific. Jackson had been employed in Baltimore until January of this year when he returned and took employment at the Allegany Ballistics Laboratory.

Two men were killed at Henry this week. A Mr. Jenkins, from near Martinsburg, W Va. He was working in the upper vein of the shaft, (the shaft being near 500 feet) and as the cage passed up he rang the electric bell for it to stop, but having been tardy in ringing the bell the cage passed about ten feet above its accustomed place, before stopping, and he opened the gate and walked out and fell two hundred feet, broke his neck and one leg. He breathed until they got him above ground. The other man was a Pole and was killed by the slate falling on him while digging coal. These are the first serious accidents which have occurred at Henry.

JOHNS, Harry Frederick
FROSTBURG — Harry Frederick Johns, 42, of 79 linden Street, was found dead in his bedroom at 10:20 last night and Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, issued a verdict of "suicide by shotgun," Dr. Deming said Johns, an engineer at the Celanese plant, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound between the eyes about 4:30 p. m. He quoted the man's daughter, Elizabeth Johns, 12, as saying she was alone with her father when he said he was going upstairs and end his life. Johns' wife, the former Miss Ruth Fram, told authorities her husband had been ill with a sinus condition and remarked last Saturday that he could stand the suffering no longer. Elizabeth, according to authorities, heard the shot, but did not take her father's threat seriously since he had made such remarks before and had also fired a gun in the house. However, she went to the home of a sister, Anne Johns, 18, of 75 East Main Street, where she met her mother and related what happened. The mother told police they went home and tried the bedroom door but found it locked and surmised that Johns was sleeping. About 10:10 p. m. she became alarmed and reported the incident to Officers Lloyd Truley and Donald Griffith, who went to the residence and forced the door. Johns, son of Mrs. Annie (Brode) Johns and the late John Johns, was found on the bedroom floor. Besides his widow and daughters, he is survived by a son, Harry F. Johns, Jr., 16, and sisters, Mrs. Marshall Skidmore, Mrs. Harry Williams, and Mrs. Cora Myers, all of Frostburg, and Mrs. Russell Brower, Waynesboro, Pa.

JONES, Miss Ruth Orpha
Ruth Orpha, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Jones, was called to her Heavenly home last Thursday, Aug. 3-1911. With the bereaved parents we weep; but not without hope; for we know if Christ was dead and is now alive so shall we live again in the next world. Ruth was called from her home at the early and tender age of 7 months and 4 days.... The little form, the wreaths of flowers, the hymns that were sung, the words that were said by the kind pastor, the little white clad pall bearers and the tiny grave in the Hamill cemetery all have put a feeling in our hearts that cannot be removed. Mr. and Mrs. Jones are both members of the Christian church and are widely known all over Blaine and Kitzmiller. They give kindness where it is needed and therefore receive kindness in their great sorrow. They have five children in Heaven waiting for them and one son and one daughter still to bless them. Namely, Ira and Georgia. May we all live so as to meet our loved ones there, for we will know that little Ruth is there for she was taken before the shame of sin could snatch her. In that harmonious song that was sung while the Angels were bearing our baby home.... The pall bearers were dressed in pure white and were all sweet little children, making it more touching, they are as follows: Isabel Tibbits, Lila Lemaster, Iva Murray, Leah Garner. Little Ruth was laid to rest to wake in an unending realm of sweet peace and harmony where all is happyness and no sorrow. May God bless you, my dear friends.
