Mrs. Anthony was the mother of a large family of sons and daughters to whom during her long life she illustrated all the Christian virtues.

Rev. William Anthony, a Methodist Episcopal minister, who for the past two years has been pastor of the congregations at Doubs, Point of Rocks, Jefferson and Middletown, in Frederick county, was killed Sunday afternoon by being struck by the tender of a locomotive on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, near Doubs. Mr. Anthony had preached Sunday morning at Doubs, and in the afternoon set out to walk to Point of Rocks where he was to have preached Sunday night. Seeing a train approaching on the track on which he was walking he stepped over to the adjoining track, on which a locomotive was running backward to Washington Junction. He evidently was unaware of the locomotive's approach, and was not seen by the engineer, Elmer Cope, of Baltimore, or the fireman in time to avert the accident. The tender struck him in the back, and he was killed instantly, his skull being fractured. By those who heard his sermon Sunday morning it was remarked as a strange coincidence that he had spoken of the uncertainty of life, and suggested the possibility that some of those who had met at the service might never meet again. Mr. Anthony had been pastor of the Methodist church at Elk Garden and at Barton, Md., where he had many warm friends. He is survived by a widow and two children.

The funeral of General J. W. M. Appleton, of Salt Sulphur Springs, W. Va., who was killed by a young jersey bull on his farm, was held Sunday from his home. General Appleton, despite his age of 82, took pride in his vigor, which enabled him to perform many of his farm duties.

E. Don Ballard and David Dare ran to his assistance and after driving the bull away with heavy pieces of timber, carried General Appleton to his porch, where he expired in about 20 minutes from internal injuries.

MT STORM = A very sad death occurred in this community last Thurs when Dallas Aronhalt answered to the "Roll Call Up Yonder". He was taken with that dreaded disease, Scarlet Fever, on Sun in a very malignant form, and was sick only four days. He said he did not want to get well and almost absolutely refused to take medicine. Dallas was the younger son of Mary E and D W Aronhalt. He had but recently passed his 18th birthday, and bid fair to live many years. Thus again we are reminded that youth is no security against death. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved parents. Their little daughter, Helen, now has the same disease but seems to be getting along very nicely. Mr Aronhalt is also confined with symptoms of the same disease.

ELK GARDEN - That patient sufferer, Thomas Wilson Ashby, closed his eyes to the scenes of earth Nov. 6, 1913, aged 65 years, 4 months and 24 days. With the news of his death came a sigh of relief to know that his sufferings were over, but with it also came the keen sense of the loss of a good man to the community. He leaves a wife who was Miss Hannah Dixon, sister of Mr. Wm. T. Dixon, but no children. Mr. Ashby was a man of convictions and always took an active part in politics, being a Republican. He was pleasant in his manners and was a genial whole souled man. In the early days of Elk Garden, he was engaged in the business of butchering. Later, he and sheriff J. Frank Dixon formed a partnership in farming and stock raising. They were successful in this as they were in other business transactions. Mr. Ashby was born in Crellin, near Oakland, Md.

A choir sang the hymns that were so much loved by the departed. They were "Home of the Soul," "Sometime We'll Understand," and "Nearer My God, to Thee." The funeral services were held at his late home, the old Dixon place, and the body was interred in the family burying ground. Although the day was cold and stormy there was quite a number at the funeral.
IN MEMORY OF THOMAS W. ASHBY On Wednesday morning, November 6th, 1913, Thomas W. Ashby of Elk Garden, passed from time to eternity. At the old Dixon homestead, where four years ago next January, J. Frank Dixon had passed away, and where "Tom", as he was familiarly called, had years ago found his bride, a happy home, and where he had lived all his married life, here death met him, but found him ready, watching, waiting. We have known "Tom," personally and intimately for years. We had been with him on various occasions, so we could learn him well. We knew that his heart always beat in sympathy and response to the cry of need. We knew that on sundry occasions a sack was filled with substantials and sent to the home of some poor needy family. His hand was ever open, his heart ever willing to help a worthy cause. When the movement to establish a home for the homeless children was inaugurated last fall, the name of T. W. Ashby and wife was pledged for one hundred dollars. On Sunday after the funeral sermon by Rev. J. H. Shockey, the friends and relatives of the deceased passed the beautiful casket in which he lay, his face lit with an expression of blessed peace and rest. After which his four brothers, Chas. W. Ashby of Deer Park, Md., Ralph T. and J. Frank Ashby of Crellin, Md., and Wm. C. Ashby of Corinth, W. Va. and his two nephews, Jesse J. and Stanley Ashby of Crellin, tenderly bore him to the home cem etery. Here undertakers Rollman & Son placed the casket in a steel vault and all that was mortal of Thomas W. Ashby was tenderly laid to rest. Mr. Ashby had on the 8th day of last June reached the 65th year of his life, and he leaves a widow, Hannah S. Ashby, to mourn him, and for whom he will longingly and lovingly wait on the banks of the Elysian shore.
