FRIEND The Ex-County Commissioner Expired Last Friday at His Home Near Friendsville Ira E. Friend, a veteran of the War of the Rebellion and an ex-County Commission of this county, was born in Carroll County, Ohio, Oct 19, 1830, and died at his home at Blooming Rose on Friday last, July 27th, 1900, aged 69 years, 8 months and 8 days, after an illness of several months. The deceased was the son of Cornelius and Sarah Kemp Friend, who were among the first settlers of what is now Sang Run. Shortly after their marriage they moved to Carroll County, Ohio, where the subject of this sketch was born. When about fifteen years of age his parents returned to Maryland and at the age of 21 years the Cherry Hill tract of land, lying near Friendsville, was purchased upon which they made their home for a number of years. A young man, full of patriotism and in sympathy with the cause of the Union, Mr. Friend in 1862, offered his services in the defense of his flag. He became a sergeant in Company D, Third Maryland Infantry, which went from this section of the country, and was later promoted to orderly sergeant. After taking part in the various battles in which his command participated he was taken prisoner, with many of his comrades, at the battle of Harper's Ferry and was sent to the parole camp at Annapolis, MD. After his release from prison he reentered the army and was promoted to a lieutenancy. At the close of the war and after a service of four years, he was given an honorable discharge. The year following his return from the war Mr. Friend was married to Miss Clara B. Sisler, and their only son, Cornelius, named in honor of his grandfather, was born as a result of this union. The same year that he married Mr. Friend purchased a portion of the tract of land know as Blooming Rose and made his home there until his death. The farm comprising six hundred acres of well cultivated land, furnished a basis upon which Mr. Friend gathered around him all the comforts of life. Besides farming Mr. Friend was engaged in the stock business on a large scale until a few years ago, when he retired from active life, turning his affairs over to his son who has been equally successful in his business ventures. Being an active and aggressive Republican Mr. Friend was frequently called upon to serve his party in various positions of trust and honor. In 1884 Mr. Friend was elected tax collector for the county and acquitted himself to everyone's satisfaction during the two year of his incumbency in office. In 1892 Mr. Friend was a candidate for the House of Delegates but was defeated by a small majority, his defeated by a small majority, his defeat being due to purely local issues. In 1894 he was elected as County Commissioner for a term of four years. He was made President of the Board by his associates and during his term of office the onerous duties devolving upon him were performed without fear or favor. He was a conscientious and fearless public servant. After his retirement from the Board in 1898 he was taken sick and never regained his health. Religiously Mr. Friend was a Methodist being a member of the Blooming Rose M. E. church for more than 27 years. A year ago he took an active part in securing funds with which to erect a new church at Blooming Rose, contributing liberally to the enterprise himself. Mr. Friend's funeral took place on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, the services being conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. R. Hennen, the new church edifice being packed to its doors by the friends and relatives of the deceased who was held in high esteem by all who were acquainted with him. The interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church.

Not much was known of this life outside of a small circle of friends. Disease took a firm grip upon the vitals of his being some weeks before his death and slowly but surely life's support gave way. The writer was summoned to his bedside and found him rapidly weakening. He says, "I want my peace made with God." The answers to questions showed serious thinking had been done for future preparation. The business matter between his soul and god was closed and by faith salvation became to his soul a sublime reality. He was exultantly happy and rested peacefully in the "Clefted Rock of Ages" until his death. His sons and daughter were present and were greatly rejoiced to know of his victory. He died March 18 in his 74th year. Was a kind father and husband. His wife, two sons and daughter remain to mourn their loss. In their said bereavement the family have the sympathy of many friends.

The cause of death was consumption with which she had been ill nine months during which time her sufferings were intense. Until a few days before her death Miss Friend had hopes of recovering, but when told that death was coming she was willing to go, and on the Sunday before her death was baptized by Rev. Funk. From that time until the day of her death her suffering was intense and her many friends did all that lay in their power to ease her pain. At least the Angel of Death took pity and laid his finger on her so gently that she died like a little child going to sleep. The funeral took place Friday afternoon at two o'clock. The remains were taken to the Lutheran Church, where Rev. Funk conducted the funeral services, after which the funeral proceeded to the Friend cemetery where all that was mortal of Miss Friend was laid reverently and sadly to rest. To the bereaved mother, brothers and sisters the entire community extend their sympathy in their great sorrow, and would ask them to remember that "They can meet beyond the river, Where the surges cease to roll, Where in all that bright forever, Sorrow ne'er shall touch the soul".

Frost FROST, Thomas W. The sudden illness of Mr. Thomas W. Frost, alluded to last week in these columns, terminated Tuesday morning March 10, 1903, in death. Mr. Frost was born at Shade Mills, Garrett Co. (then Allegany), October 19, 1844, and died in the homestead of his birth, aged 58 years, 1 month and 21 days. Of quiet, equable turn, he lived and wrought "far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife," yet he was up-to-date in all his business operations.  He came of sturdy stock on both sides, agriculturist all, and maintained the industry as well as integrity of his lineage.  His mother's family were landed people, from whom to him and his generation of relatives the development of recent years brought wealth.  In his care and under the stimulus of his diligence, these resources multiplied in value. Among his neighbors he was a business friend and oracle.  His judgement was often sought and probably no man ever lost a cent who had followed his advice. Mr. Frost was a member of the M. E. Church many years - a liberal, cheerful giver to its support and a fathful communicant. In 1874 he became a member of Mountain Lodge, No. 99, A., F. and A. M.  Though not often able to attend lodge, he valued its ritual and associations highly. He owned property in Frostburg and was further identified with business interests here as a director of the First National Bank. His wife, a half-sister - Mrs. Marian Broadwater, of Grantsville, and a half-brother, Charles W. Frost, are the immediate survivors of his family. The remains were interred in the William Frost lot, Allegany cemetery, Thursday, a few feet away from the inscription on a granite monument erected to the memory of his father: "William Frost Born March 10, 1817 ***** The First Male Child Born in Frostburg." It came to pass, therefore, that William Frost's first son died just 86 years after. The Free Masons laid the remains away with their usual ceremony in the presence of a large number of friends.

Mr. Fullerton, a step-son of John and the late Vera Sipe Fullerton, was born in Garrett. He and a friend, Walter Farrell, also of Washington, went on a fishing trip down the Potomac last October in Mr. Fullerton's motor boat. First reports received by relatives in Garrett indicated that the motorboat struck a sandbar, Mr. Fullerton was knocked overboard by the impact and drowned. But, when his companion told several ambiguous tales of the accident, the suspicious circumstances gave rise to investigations. When the body was recovered Sunday morning, it was reported by investigators that there was no water in his lungs, his clothes were not torn but his face was badly bruised and the back of his head was crushed. The body, which was held in Washington for an inquest, arrives in Garret this afternoon to lie in state at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Henry Weaver, until burial. Mr. Fullerton married Miss Alice Weaver in 1933, and the couple lived in Garrett until 1940.
