Mr. Matthias Maus Passes Away After a Brief Illness
Mr. Matthias Maus, who was paralyzed Tuesday afternoon last, as has been stated in this paper, died last evening about 8 o'clock at his residence on Baltimore avenue in the 61st year of his age.
At no time since Mr. Maus' sudden illness was there any hope of his recovery, and his death was not unexpected, nevertheless it was a great shock to his friends and the community. No man in the city of Cumberland attended to his own affairs better than the deceased, and being of a kind and pleasant disposition he made friends among all classes of people, and on all sides was heard expressions of grief when his death was announced.
The deceased was an honest and an industrious man, and in his death the community has lost one of its best citizens. He was born at Elses?, near Strauseburg?, Germany, in 1835, and when two and a half years old came to this country with his parents, who located in Cincinnati. In 1864 he came to this city where he married his second and surviving wife. He then returned to Cincinnati where he remained until 1872, when he came to Cumberland and engaged in the beer business with Mr. W. A. Buckholtz[sic] until 1882, when he embarked in the mineral water business.
He was a member of the Third Independent Ohio Cavalry and remained with this company three years.
A wife and two daughters, Mrs. Wm. Buckholtz[sic] and Mrs. Harry Radigan, all of this city, survive him.
The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock from SS Peter and Paul's church. Interment in cemetery connected with that church.

MITCHELL, Hiram Simpson
Ohiopyle, April 17.—Hiram Simpson Mitchell died at his late residence in Stewart township. Sunday morning, April ]5, at 9.30 o'clock, after an Illness of more than a year. Death came peacefully and as a release to the patient sufferer. Hiram Simpson Mitchell was the youngest son of the late Martin Mitchell of Stewart township and was born 39 years ago on his father's farm in the well known "Mitchell Settlement." He attended the public schools of his native township until he reached manhood, after which he decided on farming as his
life's work and remained at home with his parents. Ten years ago his father died and then it was that he assured his aged mother, that he would take up the burden his father had carried so long. Mr. Mitchell's trouble has been a puzzle to tho medical profession.
Two weeks ago it was thought best to put him under an operation, which seemed to give some relief, but it was only his own heroic spirit that nerved him up.
Fifteen years ago Mr. Mitchell married Miss Annie McMillan, daughter of the late Matthew McMillan. This union was blessed with one son, Scott, 12 years old. Besides his wife and son he is survived by his mother, now In her 73rd year, and five sisters, Mrs. J. W. Church of Ohiopyle, Mrs. John Ault of Oakland, Md.; Mrs, Thomas Swaney, Mt.
