Native of County
A native of Franklin, this county, McNally ran away from home when he was thirteen and served several terms in western prisons for various crimes. In 1924, he entered evangelistic work and wrote a book, "From Crime to Christ," describing his career and conversion. He was located in Los Angeles for several years and came here in 1938, taking an active part in the municipal campaign and establishing a colony known as Danville, along the McMullen Highway.
Moved To Baltimore
After leaving here, he located in Baltimore, where he bought a plane and traveled to various cities to conduct services. He was conducting a revival in a Binghampton church this week and recently purchased the plane that crashed yesterday.
McNally is survived by his mother, Mrs. Ellen (Brophy) McNally, of Baltimore, and eight sisters, Mrs. Mary C. France, Josephine and Jane McNally, all of Baltimore; Mrs., Agnes Hunt, Detroit; Mrs. Paul B. Wolfklll, Piedmont; Mrs. Margaret Edwards, Mrs. Catherine Lepperman, Bellaire, O., and Mrs. Madeline Chappell, Barton.

McNEILL, Capt. Jesse C.
Capt. Jesse C. McNeill, late captain of the famous McNeill Rangers, died at his home in Seymoursville, Illinois, on Sunday, March 3rd.
At the outbreak of the war he resided in Missouri, whither his father had moved from Hardy Co. prior to the former's birth. Father and two sons, Jesse and George, entered the Confederate army in the west and were under the command of General Price. George was killed at the battle of Lexington, while Jesse and his father, Capt. Jno H., were taken prisoners. They were removed to Chicago and making their escape worked their way through to the South Branch Valley. From here, Capt Jno H. went to Richmond and got a commission to raise a company. At that time, General Imboden was attempting to raise a regiment of partisan rangers and McNeill joined this. When Imboden's regiment was taken into the regular Confederate army, McNeill withdrew his company which, from that time on was known as McNeill's Rangers. Capt J H McNeill was wounded at Mt Jackson in 1864 and died shortly after at Harrisonburg. His son, Capt Jesse, commanded the Rangers from that time until the end of the war. He was in command at the time of the Cumberland raid when Generals Crook and Kelley were captured. So far as we know but two men in this immediate section were with the company, W H Maloney and Geo H Johnson, the latter a member of the seventh regiment and the former a member of McNeill's command.
Capt McNeill was recognized by friend and foe as a gallant officer and high-class citizen. The First Lietuenant of the Rangers. I. S. Welton, still survives and resides at Petersburg, Grant County.

McNEILL, Capt. Jesse C.
The recent death of Capt. Jesse C. McNeill in Mahomet, Ill, revives the unique position occupied by the gallant troop known as McNeill Rangers and the splendid service they performed in Northern Va. General Lee had not in his service a more industrious and efficient force than that band which patrolled the mountains and narrow valleys of northern Va. and whose captures in proportion to the force employed were second to no other body of Confederates.
The capture of two major generals, Cook and Kelly in Cumberland Md, is celebrated as one of the most daring feats of the War of the States. It is so pronounced by Gen John B Gordon in his Reminiscence of the War and a similar tribute is paid by Gov. C. T. O'Ferral, of Va. in his "Four Years of Active Service". In the estimation of the general public, McNeill won his spurs in that remarkable capture, but his men felt that his incident was matched by many others in daring and success. His audacious boldness, coupled with consummate skill, gave him mastery of a situation when all the odds were against him.
The intrepid young leader was young when as first lieutenant he succeeded his father, who had fallen mortally wounded in a charge to the command of the Rangers - secured and held the confidence and good will of his men to the down fall of the Confederacy and in the long years which have followed he grew in their esteem and affection, and remained till death the central and engaging figure in the group. The wide circle of devoted friends and the happy home which he loved most and served best testify to those manly and tender qualities which made him a leader in war and a favorite in peace. -Charlestown Free Press

Lonaconing, Sept. 13 – “This place was thrown into sorrow and excitement this morning when the mangled body of M. J. McPartland was taken from Jackson mine of the American Coal Co. to his home. The fatal accident occurred at 10 o'clock while the deceased and his comrades were at work in a room of the mine, about four tons of roof coal suddenly "let go" and crushed Mr. McPartland to death. His comrades escaped. The deceased was 35 years of age and very popular all along the creek. He was a prominent young Democrat and had been nominated on September 4th for House of Delegates on the Democratic ticket. He was married to a daughter of Hugh Thompson, of Barton, who with one child survive him. As a trustee of the Lonaconing Central school he had made many friends and his tragic death has caused general sorrow.”

McWILLIAMS, W. Robert E.
The body of a 49-year-old Meyersdale man was found lying in Patterson Creek, about nine miles east of Keyser, yesterday morning. He was W. Robert E. McWilliams, an employe of the Stony River Dam, who was frog hunting in the stream with Everett Wood, 25 Allegany Street, Keyser, when he was stricken. Mr. McWilliams disappeared in about six feet of water. It was known that Mr. McWilliams could swim and Mineral County Prosecuting Attorney Byron Athey ordered an autopsy which disclosed that death resulted from a heart attack. According to Mr. Wood, the two men had left their car at the bridge on Route 46 about 12:30 a. m. and proceeded up creek for a distance. The two men started back toward the bridge, Mr. Wood on the east side and Mr. McWilliams on the west side of the creek. Both carried lights, according to Mr. Wood, who said he looked around for Mr. McWilliams and saw his light fall. He entered the creek and tried to locate his companion, Mr. Wood said. Water at that point is approximately six feet deep. When he could not find Mr. McWilliams, Mr. Wood ran to the highway for help and this resulted in Sheriff Carroll Stanley and Stale Trooper J. T. Plybon being notified. Cpl. J. R. Polls and Trooper R. L. Johnson of the West Virginia State Police, also responded. On arrival at the scene, Trooper Plybon entered the creek and searched for the body. He located the victim at 1:55 a. m. just a short distance from the place where Mr. Wood had last seen his light. Mr. McWilliams was born in Duquesne, Pa., a son of Mrs. Mary Hostetler McWilliams and the late I. M. McWilliams. He was a member of Amity United Church of Christ, Meyersdale Lodge 554, A. F. and A. M., and the Consistory. Surviving, besides his mother, are his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Murray McWilliams; two children, Mrs. James Weyant, Wellsboro, Pa., and Miss Carol Ann McWilliams, at home, and three sisters, Mrs. Helen Hinkle, Warsaw, Ind.; Mrs. Dorothea Fullerton, Duquesne, and Mrs. Marion McKenzie, Silver Lake, Ind. The body is at the Price Funeral Home in Meyersdale, where friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 today and where a funeral service will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m.
