They dead men were brothers, Walter Mackley, aged 27 years, who married a daughter of Joseph Idleman, of Mt. Storm, who survives with one daughter, and are staying at the home of her father. The other was Henry Mackley, single, aged 24 years. They were both from the section of Mt. Storm, in Grant Co, but in their younger days lived at Sulphur City. They were both firemen on the third division of the B&O RR and had been on the road over a year. They boarded at Carnell's boarding house on W. Piedmont St. It seems that they came in from the road, one at 12 and the other at 10 o'clock, and went to bed, leaving the gas stove burning very high with no ventilation in the room. When some of the family went to get them up for super, a little past six o'clock, they were both dead, and from appearances had been dead for some hours. The bodies were taken to Markwood's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. Squire J. T. Doyle, acting as coroner, held an inquest and the jury returned a verdict that the men had come to their death by monoxide created by a gas stove burning too high in a room without ventilation. Joseph Idleman, father-in-law of Walter Mackley, came down Wednesday to look after his remains, and yesterday morning both bodies were taken to Mt. Storm for burial. They belonged to the railroad men's brotherhood, a committee of whom assisted in looking after the care and removal of the bodies.
