Little Blanche Messick the four year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Messick, who live several miles up the river, was so badly burned last Thursday morning that she died Saturday morning. With two other children she was playing in a room where there was an open fire, and in some manner the clothing of the little girl caught from the fire, and she was soon badly burned, probably inhaling the flames. The other children also received burns in trying to put out the fire, and Mr. Messick, who rushed to the child’s rescue, was badly burned about the hands, but he succeeded in putting out the flames. Dr. Thomas was immediately summoned and did what he could for the little sufferer, but she was beyond help and died at the time stated.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev J L Luttrell. Interment was at Ebenezer.

Bureau of the Evening Times
Lonaconing. Md. Sept 27,
"Take the coal off my feet, Fred. I'm all right" were the last words spoken by young Frank Myers who met his death in the Blue Bell mine yesterday morning. Frank, his father, John Meyers, his brothers, George and Fred had been working in the same heading for the past two weeks, but yesterday morning John Myers and his son, George, were moved leaving Frank and Fred together. The boys were setting a bar and had fitted one end of it into a hole in the coal intending to prop it at the other end, when a lump of coal dropped on Frank, crushing him to the floor. The coal struck him while he was slightly bent over. The place where he and Fred were working was about 7 feet high, but young Myers was over six feet tall, and not yet sixteen years. The injured boy was carried from the mine and died on his way home, breathing his last near the Catholic cemetery. He was crushed about the upper part of the body. Frank Myers was a remarkable boy in many ways. He would not be sixteen years of age until November and if he had lived to attain his full growth he would have been a veritable giant. He had a large head and his school teachers say that he had a most remarkable memory, very quick to learn, and a docile pupil. Deceased is survived by his parents, two brothers, George and Fred, and sisters. Mary Ann, Christine, Lizzie, Barbara, Frances and Teresa, all living here. The bereaved family has the keen sympathy of the entire community for the Meyers family are good people and highly respected. Frank was a good boy, a steady worker and a home lover. He never made his parents the slightest trouble. The funeral will take place Saturday morning. A requiem mass will be celebrated in St. Mary's church and interment will be made in St. Michael's cemetery, Frostburg.
