CACKLEY, Andrew M.

Andrew M. Cackley was born in Pocahontas County, W. Va., May 28, 1849, and died in Roanoke, Va., April 28, 1913. When he was a lad, his father moved to Greenbrier county, W. Va., and there he grew to manhood. He was converted at an early age and so clear was his conversion that people who were present said that he would be a preacher. Not long after that happy event God called him into ministry. He was licensed to preach by the late Rev. W. G. Coe, then presiding elder of the Lewisburg District. He united with the Baltimore Conference in the year 1875. He was happily married to Miss Annie Moomau, of Petersburg, W. Va., who preceded him to the heavenly home in the year 1901. Dr. Cackley was one of the clearest expounders of the distinctive doctrines of Methodism the Conference has ever had. He was a sufferer for many years with what he thought was stomach trouble, but not until after his return from the late conference that he was slowly being eaten up by a malignant cancer. The end came while surrounded by his brethren of the ministry whom he loved, and the members of his household. Brief services was held at the parsonage in Roanoke and his remains taken to Falls Church, Va., where he desired to be buried by the sleeping dust of his wife and child. At the home in Roanoke, the services were conducted by Rev. G. D. White, presiding elder, as sisted by Revs. J. Howard Wells and S. T. Senter, in the presence of the other ministers of the town and a large company of sorrowing friends. At Falls Church, his friend and former presiding elder, Rev. W. H. Woolf, conducted the service, assisted by Revs. W. D. Keene, J. H. Dulaney, B. F. Ball, H. L. Hout, J. H. Schooly, D. H.

CADDEN, James H.

A FATAL ACCIDENT. James H Cadden of Barton Is Thrown From a Buggy and Killed Barton, Md., July 9, [Special]— Mr James H. Cadden and John Patton started yesterday morning in a buggy to drive to Keyser. About a mile below Piedmont there is a large rock on the side of the road on which the sun throws the shadow of some trees that were standing near. As the wind blew the shadow moved to and fro. At this shadow the horse shyed and jumped on the bank on the opposite side of the road, then with a sudden jerk jumped back again, throwing both gentlemen out of the buggy. Mr Cadden fell on the back of his head and lay unconscious in the road. Mr. Patton was not hurt by the fall. Mr. Cadden was conveyed to the residence of Mrs. Dorsey and Mr. Patton started for Piedmont to secure medical aid. Dr. Shuey was summoned and after examining the body, found that the skull was crushed and that the pulse was very weak. When Father Wider arrived, half an hour later, Mr. Cadden was breathing his last. Mr. Cadden was born in Barton in 1867 and is therefore, 27 years old. He dug coal until a few years ago, when he embarked in the merchandising business, and was regarded in our community as an honest, industrious and upright young man. He was very popular with all classes. Nothing has occurred in our community for a long time that affected our people so much as this horrible death, Everybody was horrified when the news came that James H. Cadden had been killed, and here e and there on the streets two or three could be seen speaking in whispers of the sad accident. Mr. Cadden leaves a wife, who i s nearly frantic with grief and two infant daughters. Mrs. Cadden has the sympathies of the entire community and kind friends are doing all in their power to console her. When and where Mr. Cadden will he buried is not known at this time, but most probably in the Catholic cemetery of this place on Tuesday Cumberland Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Monday, July 9, 1898 - pg 9, col 1

CALER, George W.

George W. Caler, about 80, was burned to death Friday when fire swept his six-room home at Deal. Pa., southeast of Meyersdale, Pa. Meyersdale firemen were called but the building was a mass of flames when they arrived about 6:30 a. m. Firemen recovered the body at 11 a. m. in the basement of the building, directly under the kitchen. The firemen stated it appeared that Mr. Caler was trying to start a fire with kerosene and that the fumes exploded when he ignited firewood.

CHRISTNER, Myrtle

MEYERSDALE, Oct. 11 - With a 38-calibre revolver clutched in her hands, the lifeless body of Miss Myrtle Christner, 18, was found Saturday morning by a niece, at the home of James E. Leckemby of Sherman street, where Miss Christner was a housekeeper. Coroner William J. Logue returned a verdict of suicide. Miss Christner apparently was in excellent spirits, Miss Gertrude Lintz told authorities. Miss Lintz, who resides in another apartment in the same building, said that Miss Christner talked to her Saturday morning after the former had completed her daily chores. The girl, who had been the housekeeper for Mr. Leckemby since the death of his wife about three months ago, fired two shots, authorities said, from an automatic revolver. One of the bullets went through the floor, but Mr. Leckemby and Miss Lintz, both of whom said they were in the building, heard no shots. The other bullet penetrated her heart. Miss Christner's niece went to her aunt's room and found the body. One of Miss Christner's brothers was puzzled on acount of two shots being fired, but following a second investigation last night by C. C. Jacob, Somerset county detective, the brother was convinced that his sister had ended her own life. No motive was assigned for the suicide. She was a daughter of Urias J. Christner and the late Savilla (Coleman) Christner, former residents of Meyersdale. Mr. Christner now resides at Finzel, Md. Mrs. Christner died several years ago in a Pittsburgh hospital. Besides the father, the following brothers and sisters survive: Mrs. Alvin Copland, Orlando R. and Bud Christner of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Samuel Wright of Salisbury; Mrs. Lloyd Forrest, Stewart, Carl and Paul Christner of Meyersdale, and Harry Christner, who resides with his father on the farm on R.

COBAUGH, Lewis Daniel

MEYERSDALE March 4 — Lewis Daniel Cobaugh, youngest son of the late Charles P. Cobaugh, the veteran Baltimore & Ohio engineer, and Rebella Parks Cobaugh, was almost instantly killed about noon yesterday at the Western Maryland railroad coaling station at Rockwood. The cable on the hoist used in lifting the coal to the chutes parted, and a bucket containing a ton or more of coal descended, and pinned the unfortunate man between the timbers and the bucket, crushing him in a horrible manner. The remains were taken to a local undertaking establishment and prepared for burial, and later were taken to the home of his mother. The deceased is survived by his aged mother, who for the past year or more has been rendered almost helpless by reason of a stroke of apoplexy. His widow, who was Miss Ella Williams, and two children, Grace and Annabel, age six and three years respectively, survive. He is also survived by one brother and three sisters as follows: George P. Cobaugh of Johnstown; Mrs. W. A. Shoemaker, of Meyersdale; and Mrs. William Millhouse and Mrs. George E. Beatty, both of Rockwood. About 22 years ago the father of the deceased, the old engineer, "Dad" Cobaugh, as he was so familiarly known, was blown up in a locomotive explosion, and the injuries received resulted in his death. Prior to death of the father, the oldest son, William, while making a coupling in the Rockwood yards, had his head crushed by projecting rails on two loaded Hot cars, dying in a few w eeks after that accident. Next, Charles, a younger son, while working in the B. & O. shops at Connellsville, was stricken with malignant typhoid fever, expiring in a few weeks. A few years ago, another son, a flagman on the B & O, was pinioned by a sideswipe wreck in his caboose, directly alongside of a demolished engine, and was scalded to death.

COONEY, John T. ⚰️

Word was received here yesterday of the death of Mr. John Cooney at Blaine, W. Va., the information, to the family being 'carried to them by Mayor George G. Young who received "an inquiry from an undertaker from that place". Mr. Cooney was a son of Mrs. Mary A. Cooney, 55 Thomas street. He was 45 years old and was a native of Cumberland and resided here until after her grew to manhood. Quite a number of years ago he moved to West Virginia and engaged in the coal mining business at Newburg. About a year ago he abandoned the coal business at Newburg and took other employment for a time and several months ago located at Blaine, W. Va., and went to work in the mines. Some weeks ago his health began failing and on last Thursday he consulted a physician at Blaine. The physician found Mr Cooney affected with disease of the heart, prescribed for him and advised him to be very careful, rest and keep quiet. On Saturday he felt very much better and resumed work in the mines Saturday morning. On Sunday morning he became quite ill at his boarding house and in a few hours died. The undertaker, while going through his clothing found a card from Mr Cooney's little girl, mailed in Cumberland a few days before. This prompted the sending of a letter to the mayor of Cumberland which reached here yesterday morning and in a little while the family was notified. Mrs(sic) Margaret Cooney, sister of the deceased and Mr Frank Stein left for Blaine at once and had the body brought here on the Western Maryland train last evening. The remains were taken from the Stein undertaking parlors to the Cooney residence on Thomas Street this morning. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock at St Patrick's church. Mr Cooney leaves a widow who is an invalid in a hospital in Weston, W Va and three children: two of the children, Helen and John, ages 10 and 7 respectively are at a school in Wheeling. The youngest child, Margaret, aged 5, makes her home with her grandmother here. Mr Cooney is survived also by his mother and two sisters.

COOPER, Miss Carolyn Ethyl

Carolyn E. Cooper went home with the Lord on January 15, 2021 at the age of 78. She was the daughter of B. Reginald and Evelyn Williams Cooper of Worton. She was the granddaughter of Barney Reybold Cooper and Ethyl R. Loud and also of Ralph P. Williams and Sarah Cooper Williams. She was preceded in death by her parents, her twin sister, Marilyn Helen Cooper, brother Richard R. Cooper and her nephew Christopher Cooper. Carolyn grew up in Worton, attended the two room Worton Elementary School, and graduated from Chestertown High School in 1960. She graduated from the Old Memorial Hospital School of Nursing in Wilmington, DE in 1963, she also took some courses at the University of Delaware. She worked at the Memorial Hospital in Wilmington as a nurse until she became sick and had to move home. She has lived on Queen Street in Chestertown since 1970, first with her brother in the Buck Baccus House, then in the Simpers home. She bought her home, 127 N. Queen, in 1976 and has lived there since then. She was a lifelong member of Worton United Methodist Church, where she taught Sunday School for many years. In the early 1970’s an older relative took her to Union Cemetery, adjacent to IU Church near Worton, where some of her ancestors were buried. It was very overgrown, fallen stones, etc. Carolyn started researching the history of the cemetery and the people buried there. She started an annual Descendants Day for descendants of those buried in Union Cemetery in 1980 and has held one every year since then. As a result, the cemetery is cleaned up and taken care of and there is a Union Cemetery Committee to keep up her work. She has also had two books published: Worton Gleaning in 1983 and Descendant’s Day, A history of the Center of Kent County, MD in 2016. Descendant’s Day could not have been completed without the many hours of help from her devoted friend Holly Geddes. We will all remember Carolyn as the lady traveling around Chestertown in her wheelchair with the American flag proudly displayed. One of her favorite stops was the foot of High Street, where she would feed the ducks and geese. Carolyn is survived by her brother and sister-in-law, B. Stephen and Judy Cooper, their daughter Stephanie Cooper Price, and her sons: Hunter Price and his wife Courtn ey and Thomas Price and his wife Elaine. She is also survived by a sister-in-law, Faye Torstrict, widow of Carolyn’s deceased brother, Dick Cooper, their son. The service of celebration will be held at Fellows, Helfenbein, and Newnam Funeral Home on Saturday, January 23, at 1 pm with visitation beginning at 12 pm and interment in Old Union Cemetery.

COPPER, John Sherwood

MURDER AND SUICIDE VERDICT Coroner Renders Decision In Deaths of Sailor and Girl. While no statements would be made by the parents of either Eva Schmidt, 19 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Schmidt, of Eastern avenue, opposite the Oaklawn Cemetery, nor John Sherlock Copper of the same age, a sailor in the Navy, who apparently carried out a suicide pact, Monday evening, it is thought that the opposition to their contemplated marriage on the part of the girl's parents was the motive for the tragedy. After making an investigation, Coroner William T. Riley, of the Central District gave a verdict of death as a result of bullet wound inflicted by John Sherlock Copper, in the case of Miss Schmidt, while in the case of Copper a verdict of death by suicide was given. Coroner Riley deemed an inquest unnecessary. The desire of the two sweethearts, as expressed in the note, "Bury us together, Sherlock and Eva", found several hours after the double suicide, will not be granted. The funeral of Copper will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his parents and will be military in character. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery. The funeral of the girl will be held Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. High Mass will be celebrated at 9 o'clock in Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She will also be buried in Oaklawn.

COPPER, William J.

Unconscious on Platform ~ Mr. W. J. Copper, A Former Baltimorean, Dies In Philadelphia. While waiting for a train at the Germantown Station, Philadelphia, Mr. William J. Copper, 47? years old, a brakeman on the Reading railroad and formerly a Baltimorean, fell unconscous on the platform. A train was rapidly rounding the curve leading to the station when Mr. Copper fell, and had it not been for a policeman he would have fallen on the tracks. An ambulance was summoned and the unconscious man was hurried to the Germantown hospital, where he died a short time later. The coroner's physician, Dr. Wadsworth, performed an autopsy and found traces of poison in Mr. Copper's stomach. The police believe that he had ptomaine poisoning. Dr. Wadsworth held an inquest yesterday. For a number of years Mr. Copper worked for the Maryland Steel Company, at Sparrow's Point. About seven years ago he went to Philadelphia and got a position with the Reading. His wife and daughter, Miss Florence E. Copper, went with him and they made their home in Germantown. About a year ago a misunderstanding took place between Mr. and Mrs. Copper, and with her daughter, she came to Baltimore. She and her daughter have been boarding on Broadway, near Preston street. Before his death Mr. Copper asked that his wife be summoned. The authorities at the hospital telephoned news of his death to his wife Sunday, but the details were not told her. The body will be brought to Baltimore. Mr. Co pper was the son of Mr. Cyrus Copper, superintendent of Mount Carmel Cemetery. Besides his widow and daughter, who is 18 years old, he is survived by three brothers - Messrs John, George and Ezra Copper - and three sisters - Mrs. Jacob Bardy, Mrs. J.B. Miller and Mrs. J.P. HiltZ. The funeral services will be held in this city, probably at the home of Mrs. Hiltz.

COSGROVE, John, Sr. ⚰️

Christmas morning, Saturday last, Mr John Cosgrove, Sr, died at his home in Detmold after a short illness of pneumonia. Mr Cosgrove's illness was noted in this correspondence about two weeks ago at which time he was reported to be suffering from pleurisy, and a few days before his death, it was thought his condition had improved and members of the family were hopeful. Pneumonia, however, is one of the most subtle diseases with which physicians have to contend and he took a turn for the worse on Friday and was not able to withstand the crisis. Mr Cosgrove had lived here practically all of his life and was aged about 48 years. He had followed the avocation of coal mining all his life and was a highly respected citizen. His widow and three children survive. Mr John Cosgrove, Jr, who has been working in Pittsburgh, came home about ten days ago, on being advised of his father's illness and has remained almost constantly beside him ever since. The funeral took place this morning.

COSGROVE, Martin

"Two Men Killed by a Collision of Helper Engine with a Freight-MARTIN COSGROVE AND CHARLES WALLACE DEAD-Fireman H. W. Knox Loses a Leg and Is In a Precarious Condition-Accident Caused By a Mistake in Reading Orders-Peculiar Performance of the Helper Engine After the Smash- "It was my fault entirely" were the words that came from the white, compressed lips, quivering with pain, of brave and dying Engineer Martin Cosgrove as he spoke of the disastrous wreck which occurred on the Short Line yesterday morning about 4 o'clock a mile and a half east of Orchard station. The old adage "that in the midst of life we are in death," never had a truer exemplification, for Thursday night Engineer R. J. Cosgrove, who had charge of engine No. 617 was not feeling well and requested his cousin, Martin, also an engineer to take his run out of Huntington, It was on this run that Martin Cosgrove met his death, and in the terrible wreck, Charles Wallace, head brakeman, was also killed and H. W. Knox so severely injured as now to be hovering between life and death. HOW ACCIDENT OCCURRED Engineer Cosgrove was in charge of engine No. 617 hauling an east-bound freight under Conductor Davis, and had orders to stop at the siding at Orchard station to let helper engine No. 301 pass returning from a run. Engineer Cosgrove forgot his orders and went on beyond the siding for a mile and a half running at full speed. He recalled his orders and started to reverse the lever as the collision occurred. The helper engine in charge of Engineer Eph McDowell and Fireman Frank Onan had no thought of danger, until they heard the rumbling of the approaching train, and both jumped just as the collision occurred, as McDowell grasped the lever to reverse, which was thrown back against him as he jumped. Neither McDowell nor Onan were injured beyond slight bruises. They state, and the statement is confirmed, that the headlight of the freight engine was not burning. It had gone out a few miles beyond Nampa. NO TIME TO JUMP Engineer Cosgrove, his fireman, Knox and Head Brakeman, Wallace, who was riding in the freight engine, had no time to jump, and the engine was frightfully wrecked, the boiler being upon one side of the track and the tender upon the other, the engine being practically overturned. Horribly mangled beneath the engine, with both legs cut off was found the body of Wallace. Cosgrove and Knox were both caught beneath the wreckage, but managed to extricate themselves. Knox in his dreadful pain, managed to crawl 50 feet to the north side of the track, while his dismembered leg, which was torn off at the knee was found on the south side. Engineer Cosgrove was so caught in the wreck that the escaping steam literally roasted him. THE WRECKAGE The freight engine, as stated, was almost completely demolished, while eight or 10 of the freight cars were piled in a heap, making one of the worst wrecks of the character that has occurred on the Short Line for a long time. The helper engine, besides damage to the cab, was hardly damaged at all, and did not leave the track, but with the fact that Engineer McDonald had started to reverse the lever, it jumped forward and ran wild for a distance of eight miles, before coming to a stand-still. HELP SENT FORWARD Immediately after the accident Conductor Davis hastened with all speed to Orchard station and telegraphed the news to Nampa, and the Owl train, which leaves Boise at 3:25, upon its arrival at Nampa, was sent at once to the scene, carrying Drs. Murray and Kohler of Nampa, who had been at once aroused from their beds. HIS BODY UNDER ENGINE Head Brakeman Wallace of the freight was still under the wreckage. It could be seen that both his legs had been cut off near his hips and that he was dead. It was impossible to remove his body until the wrecking crew arrived. Wallace's body had been roasted frightfully. His remains were lying at a point near the boiler, where the scalding steam had enveloped him as in a furnace. As soon as possible Cosgrove and Knox were placed on the train to be brought to Boise. The train arrived here with them at 8:55. Dr. Murray of Nampa came in with the injured men, who were taken to St. Alphonsus' hospital. Dr. McCalla, the Short Line surgeon at this place, was summoned and he at once called Dr. Collister to assist him. Later Dr. Springer and Dr. Bowere were also summoned. On the road to Boise Cosgrove and Knox told their stories between gasps Cosgrove admitted he had misread his orders, as stated in the foregoing, and that he had discovered his error too late. Knox said he crawled out of the wreckage into the sagebrush, where he remained some time before being found. DIED AT HOSPITAL Shortly after arrival at the hospital Cosgrove died of his injuries. His death was due to the awful scalding he had received, he having been enveloped in the escaping steam from head to foot and great strips of skin and flesh had peeled off of him. KNOX RESTING EASILY Fireman Knox has withstood the shock of his leg being torn off with remarkable grit and fortitude. The physicians in charge amputated the stump a few inches above the knee. At a late hour last night he was sleeping. He is very weak and has lost a great deal of blood. SOMETHING OF THE MEN Martin Cosgrove was 26 years of age and was a native of Maryland, his widowed mother living at Western Port, that state. His father was an engineer, and he has a brother who is now an engineer on the Baltimore & Ohio. He came to Idaho in 1893 and had been employed on the Short Line ever since. He has no relatives in this state, excepting, as stated, his cousin, Engineer R. J. Cosgrove . He was an intimate friend, however, of D. J. Malone , Oregon Short Line mechanic, at Pocatello, who knew his family in the east and who arrived last evening to aid in the funeral arrangements. Mr. Cosgrove was a member of the B. of L. E. of Pocatello division No. 228, and the body will be shipped to his old home by his fellow members and will be accompanied by Engineers Jack Hiler, Frank Dryden and R. J. Cosgrove . Charles Wallace was about 38 years of age and has a wife and child and widower sister at Ogden. His remains were brought to this city last night and will be shipped to Ogden, by the order of the B. of R. T. of which he was a member. Mr. Wallace was an old-time railroad man, having been employed on the Utah & Northern some 20 years ago. Fireman Knox is a new man at railroading, having been employed on the Short Line, his first experience, for a matter of three of four months only. His parents live at Keokuk, Iowa." Note: He was the son of Martin Cosgrove and Catherine Connolly

It could be seen that both his legs had been cut off near his hips and that he was dead. It was impossible to remove his body until the wrecking crew arrived. Wallace's body had been roasted frightfully. His remains were lying at a point near the boiler, where the scalding steam had enveloped him as in a furnace. As soon as possible Cosgrove and Knox were placed on the train to be brought to Boise. The train arrived here with them at 8:55. Dr. Murray of Nampa came in with the injured men, who were taken to St. Alphonsus' hospital. Dr. McCalla, the Short Line surgeon at this place, was summoned and he at once called Dr. Collister to assist him. Later Dr. Springer and Dr. Bowere were also summoned. On the road to Boise Cosgrove and Knox told their stories between gasps Cosgrove admitted he had misread his orders, as stated in the foregoing, and that he had discovered his error too late. Knox said he crawled out of the wreckage into the sagebrush, where he remained some time before being found. DIED AT HOSPITAL Shortly after arrival at the hospital Cosgrove died of his injuries. His death was due to the awful scalding he had received, he having been enveloped in the escaping steam from head to foot and great strips of skin and flesh had peeled off of him. KNOX RESTING EASILY Fireman Knox has withstood the shock of his leg being torn off with remarkable grit and fortitude. The physicians in charge amputated the stump a few inches above the knee. At a late hour last night he was sleeping. He is very weak and has lost a great deal of blood. SOMETHING OF THE MEN Martin Cosgrove was 26 years of age and was a native of Maryland, his widowed mother living at Western Port, that state. His father was an engineer, and he has a brother who is now an engineer on the Baltimore & Ohio. He came to Idaho in 1893 and had been employed on the Short Line ever since. He has no relatives in this state, excepting, as stated, his cousin, Engineer R. J. Cosgrove. He was an intimate friend, however, of D. J. Malone, Oregon Short Line mechanic, at Pocatello, who knew his family in the east and who arrived last evening to aid in the funeral arrangements. Mr. Cosgrove was a member of the B. of L. E. of Pocatello division No. 228, and the body will be shipped to his old home by his fellow members and will be accompanied by Engineers Jack Hiler, Frank Dryden and R. J. Cosgrove. Charles Wallace was about 38 years of age and has a wife and child and widower sister at Ogden. His remains were brought to this city last night and will be shipped to Ogden, by the order of the B. of R. T. of which he was a member. Mr. Wallace was an old-time railroad man, having been employed on the Utah & Northern some 20 years ago. Fireman Knox is a new man at railroading, having been employed on the Short Line, his first experience, for a matter of three of four months only. His parents live at Keokuk, Iowa." Note: He was the son of Martin Cosgrove and Catherine Connolly

CRAWFORD, Thomas

FATAL ACCIDENT: The chipping room of the Piedmont Pulp and Paper Co's mill was the scene of a most distressing accident last Saturday morning and which resulted in the instant death of a very clever young man of Westernport. The victim of the unfortunate occurrence was Thomas Crawford, son of James Crawford, living on Westernport Hill. He was employed in the lime room of the mill, and was that week working on the night force, but had passed into the chipping room and stopped in front of the circular saw for a moment or two. While there, a log was put upon the carriage and had been sawed into two pieces, but being a longer log than those commonly sent into the room it was necessary to saw it again, and young Crawford had just stooped down to assist in moving the log for those of his friends working the saw, when from some unaccountable reason, the mandrel or shaft of the machine, on which the saw is suspended, snapped off, and the saw whirling with tremendous force flew from its pinning and striking the young man, while still bending over the log. Death was instantaneous and as a matter of course was painless, the lad in all probability not being co nscious of injury. His body was soon after taken to the home of his parents, where the sad news had made a distressed household. The funeral took place from the M.E. Church, South, on Monday. The remains were followed to the church and thence to the cemetery by Piedmont Council No. 19 Junior Order of American Mechanics, of which the deceased was a member. 25 September 1891; Piedmont (WV) Herald

CREEGAN, Bernard

CAPTURE OF JOHN J. M’GADY. He is Arrested in Helena, Montana, and Will Return to Cumberland Without a Requisition—Picture of the Man and the Story of His Crime. News was received in this city yesterday evening by Sheriff Hohing from Marshal C. H. Hard, of Helena, Montana, of the arrest at that place of John J. McGady, who killed Barney Creegan at Midland. McGady is now on his way here and will probably reach here on today. McGady committed a frightful crime at Midland on the morning of Sunday, February 17, at half past twelve. The particulars as gleaned by a Times reporter at [the] time were as follows: McGady had been collecting money for a church, finished his labors about half past ten o’clock that evening and went up to various saloons with a crowd of young men among whom was Bernard Creegan. After visiting Stakem’s and Kenney’s the crowd went up to Frank Ennis saloon, where McGady entered into a conversation with the bartender, telling him that his wife was down at Lonaconing at her father’s and he was going to walk down there to see her. He remained in Ennis’ drinking with the crowd until shortly before 1 o’clock Saturday night, when Ennis ordering the saloon closed, one of the crowd suggested that all hands take a friendly drink and go home. The drink was taken and the crowd left the saloon, but when they got on the outside Creegan began to quarrel with McGady. After abusive language on the part of Creegan towards McGady, they got into a tussle, clinched and fell down a small embankment. They then got up and came back where the crowd was standing. Creegan then took off his coat, and he began to quarrel again and clinched with McGady; both of the men fell upon their sides; McGady turned Creegan under him when at this juncture of the proceedings McGady called out “he is biting.” The parties in the crowd then separated them and McGady got up and remarked that “Creegan had tried to do the dirty work with him,” and stepping back a few paces, drew his revolver and fired two shots, the first taking effect in the throat just above the breast bone and the other struck Creegan in the right wrist shattering the ulna. After the shooting Creegan walked about 75 yards, followed by the crowd, when he fell from loss of blood, and was carried into Stakem's house, where Drs. White and Smith were called to assist the sufferer. They made an examination of the wounds and found that one ball had passed in the neck through the windpipe and lodged in the back of the neck and that another ball had struck the right wrist shattering the ulna. The physicians remained with him until Sunday morning at 7 o’clock. Creegan made no ante-mortem statement. McGady then went to a friend’s house, where it is supposed, he learned of Creegan's death and concealed himself until an opportunity was created for his escape to Montana. McGady is a young man 24 years of age and was a miner, employed in the Ocean mine of the Consolidation Coal company , a mile above Midland. He married a daughter of Patrick Cavanaugh, of Ocean, he is short in stature about five feet five inches in height, with light hair and blue eyes. Barney Creegan, the man killed, was about 21 years of age, and a son of Patrick Creegan, a saloon keeper at Midland. His brother Edward Creegan, is the telegraph operator on the George’s Creek and Cumberland railroad at Midland Junction. He was unmarried, and was a driver in the National mine of Hitchins Brothers Midland. He was a tall and fine looking fellow and very popular.

Interment was made in Queen's Point Cemetery. The Board of Directors of the Potomac Milling and Ice Co., in a special meeting, assembled deem it appropriate and right, in the courts of its deliberations, to pay its former associate and coworker, Mr. N. J. Crooks, a last tribute of respect and appreciation. We feel that the business of this company has been greatly benefited by his connection with it since its beginning, in the capacity of a director and member of the Executive Board, and that we, who have worked with him, have profited by his example of industry and application of business acumen to the conduct of the company's affairs. Why a career of such usefulness should be terminated at a point apparently little beyond its meridian is simply another of those mysteries beyond human comprehension. Our most sincere condolence are extended to the family and friends of Mr. Crooks. H. L. Arnold J. T. Carskadon J. L. Frost
