DAILEY, Benjamin

A telephone message from Moorefield, Monday evening about 8 o'clock conveyed the startling information that Benjamin Dailey, the well-known lawyer of that place was dead. His death occurred very suddenly, said to be from heart failure. He was here last Wednesday and Thursday on legal business and was apparently in his usual health. Mr. Dailey was the eldest son of the late Dr. R. W. Dailey, of this place, and a brother of Judge R. W. Dailey. He was private secretary to Gov. Jacobs during that gentleman's two terms as Chief Executive of the State. Following his retirement from that position he located at Moorefield and began the practice of law. He was widely known as an able lawyer, a sound thinker and a gentleman of dignity and courtesy of the true and genuine stamp. Mr. Dailey was married rather late in life to a Miss Randolph, who, with several children, survive him. His death came coincident with the State Reunion of ex-Confederate soldiers in Moorefield to which Mr. Dailey had looked forward with interest, he, himself having been very severely wounded, a ball passing directly through his body. The fact that his father, who was a surgeon in the army reached him a few hours after the wound was inflicted was responsible for his having survived. Mr. Dailey's death will be keenly regretted by all those whose good fortunes it was to known him. -Hampshire Review of 9th.

DAILEY, Dr. G. T.

Dr. G. T. Dailey, one of the most widely known physicians in this section of the State, died unexpectedly Monday evening at the home of Mrs. Susan Pancake, four miles above Romney. Dr. Dailey, who has been in ill health for some time, was so far improved Sun as to drive out. Going to Mrs. Pancake's he decided to remain over night, being fatigued. Monday he got up, but had to go back to bed. Monday evening he was quite complaining and at his request Mrs. Pancake telephoned for Dr. Shull. The latter found him very weak but did not anticipate any immediate danger. About 6 o'clock he expired quite suddenly. Undertaker Racey prepared the remains for burial and brought the body down Monday night to the home of Miss Jennie Dailey, with whom he resided. The funeral will probably occur Wednesday. Dr. G. T. Dailey was prior to the time of his broken health an exceptionally successful physician, peculiarly able in his profession and widely read. No person was his enemy. Everyone who knew him and especially those who consulted him will regret most sincerely his death. Hampshire Review of 20th.

In 1905 interest in baseball was at an all-time high in the Tri-Towns and a team was organized to play in the Pennsylvania, Ohio and Maryland league, commonly referred to as P. O. M. A new park was erected on the island. It included the present park and adjoining land, now the site of homes on Maryland Avenue.A young fast ball pitcher was acquired by the team and he pitched the Piedmont team to a league victory that year. His name was Nick Maddox. Later he was acquired by the Pittsburgh Pirates and pitched for Detroit in the World Series. Maddox died at his home in Pittsburgh about a year ago. Piedmont had two catchers in 1905, Johnny Ament and George Dailey. George was the outstanding catcher of the team and recognized as one of the best in the league. He was always paired with Nick Maddox and it was music to the fans' ears to hear the umpire announce: "Batteries for today's game, Maddox and Dailey...." In 1906 he played with Springfield in the Central League and in 1907 with Butler and Charleroi. In 1909 he went to Memphis, Tenn and the following year played with Goldsboro, N. C. He concluded his career in professional baseball with Winston-Salem when he was struck in the hand with pitched ball in 1912.

DAILY, Mr.; also DYSE

Two men killed, two so badly injured that they are not expected to recover, and seven others severely hurt, is the total result of a bad freight wreck which occurred Wednesday afternoon at 3 o'clock two miles east of Pearre, on the Western Maryland Railroad. The dead: Fireman Dyse, of Hagerstown, whose body was recovered from the wreck; Brakeman Daily, of Hagerstown, body still under wreckage. Of the injured who are so badly scalded that they are hardly expected to live are Engineer J. C. Kneisley and Fireman J. P. Hess. Two engines, nineteen loaded cars and nine empty cars are piled up down a deep gully, the wreck being one of the worst freight mixups ever experienced by the road. Failure of Operator Haag, at Pearre, to deliver a train order is said to have been the cause. It was a head on collision on what is known as Cohill Siding, about 42 miles east of Cumberland. All the injured are members of the train crews. It will take several days to clear up the wreckage.

DALY, Miss Mary L ⚰️

Was Teacher For 50 years ~ Weston School Principal's Funeral To Be Held on Friday Afternoon. Death, coming peacefully, after a four month illness, this morning ended the 50-year teaching career of Miss Mary L. Daly, principal of the Weston School. Funeral services will be held at St. Paul's church at 2 p.m. (dst) Friday, in charge of the Rev. E. R. Garrison, pastor of the church. Burial will be in Grace Lawn cemetery. Injured in Fall Miss Daly died at her home, 318? East Crawford street, at 5 a.m. She had been confined to her bed almost continually since Feb 25, when she fell on an icy sidewalk near the school in which she had served for 25 yeas as principal. The force of her fall was such that it caused a compression of one or more vertebrae. The injury weakened her, physically, and other ailments set in, causing her condition to become steadily more grave. She lapsed into a coma a week ago, and never rallied. Lifelong Resident At the time of her injury, Miss daly was leaviing the school after working late and did not realize the slipperiness of the walks. Despite the pain and shock suffered when she fell, she couragously[sic] walked to her car, parked nearby, and drove to her home without aid. Miss Daly had lived in this vicinity virtually all her life. She was born just north of the city in Osolo township, the daughter of John L. and Sarah Bird Daly. Educated in the Elkhart schools, she was graduated from the high school here and then attended Terre Haute State Normal school to fit herself for a teaching post. Principal 25 Years In 1884, having completed her normal school training, Miss Daly obtained her first employment as a teacher of the Kinney School, northeast of Elkhart. The following year she taught at Mottville, Mich., the next year at the Pittsburgh school in Concord township, and the next year at Willowdale school, which was then not a part of the city school system. In 1885 she entered the city schools teaching one year each at Beardsley and Central buildings before going to Weston. For the next 44 years she devoted most of her waking time to her teaching duties, and her diligence and efficiency were rewarded by her promotion to principal about 25 years ago. Miss Daly's kindly disposition and understanding treatment of pupils endeared her to the many children -- probably to be numbered in thousands -- who came under her influence during the formative period of youth. In recent years the school enrollment had numbered many pupils whose parents also were taught by Miss Daly. Church Worker Outside school hours, the veteran teacher found time to take part in the activities of the Parent-Teacher association. She was also interested in the Y.W.C.A., particularly the Business and Professional Women's club of that organization. She was a steadfast member of St. Paul's Methodist Episcopal church, and had taught the Loyal Workers, women's class, in the Sunday school for 20 years. Surviving Miss Daly are her sister, Mrs William Locke, 120 West Crawford street; and two brothers, Charles L. Daly of north of Elkhart and William T. Daly of north Webster, Ind. Two aunts, Mrs. Minnie Rowley and Mrs. Etta Dotson, both of Elkhart, and six nices and four nephews also survive. 26 June 1935; no source noted

DANAHEY, Matthew

Badly Injured By Runaway Team Yesterday afternoon a runaway team knocked down Mr. Matthew Donahey, flagman at the crossing of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad near the post office, badly inuring[sic] him and causing what may result in serious hurts. His nose is said to have been broken and it is feared internal injuries may also have been sustained. Mr. Donahey is past 80 years old and his advanced age may operate against his early recovery. The team is owned by Mr. George Ternent, general merchant, near the railroad crossing, and had gone to Jackson High Row about 4 o'clock in the afternoon. The driver a young man named Spiker, left the team standing, as usual, while he delivered some merchandise to a customer. While he was inside the house, the team became frightened and ran away, running down Jackson street at full speed. Dr. Donahey, who was standing in the centre of the crossing, saw the team as it turned the corner in front of the Mystic Chain Building, and he attempted to stop the horses. When near him, the horses turned suddenly to the right and the "tongue" of the wagon struck Mr. Donahey, knocking him down. Amost[sic] simultaneously, one of the horses slipped on a rail and in scrambling to regain its feet, stepped on the aged man's face and chest. Spectators picked Mr. Donahey up immediately and carried him into the waiting room, and Dr. W. Q. Skilling who had been summoned, arrived promptly and rendered surgical aid, after which the injured man was removed to his home in Pekin. Mr. Donahey has been in the employ of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad Company for many years, working with the section repair men until a few years ago when he was given the position of flagman at the crossing, after a previous accident. Mr. Donahey has several married sons and daughters. He is a well known old gentman[sic], being a familiar personage to almost every man, woman and child in this vicinity, and of a particularly jovial and social disposition, possessing the characteristic wit and humorous phases of tendencies of the native Irishman. Much anxiety is felt in the probable outcome of his injuries, which are regarded as quite serious, complicated by his advanced age. Considerable damage was done to the Ternent delivery wagon before the runaway horses could be stopped.

NB: only one son and one daughter. (Cumberland) Evening Times; Tuesday, August 17, 1915

Mr. Danahey, who was flagman at the C. & P. R.R. crossing near the post office, and only a few feet diagonally opposite the Ternent store, endeavored to check the runaway team as it case[sic] tearing down Jackson street to the railroad crossing, but he was knocked down and trampled upon by one of the horses, receiving internal injuries in the chest and face. Although Dr. W. Q. Skilling responded promptly and rendered first aid to the injured man, who was taken to his home in Pekin. Mr. Danahey never regained consciousness. The pain he otherwise must have suffered was therefore, minimized. Dr. J. O. Bullock, the attending physician, gave no hope to his family after examination and on Wednesday advised them that death would be a matter of only a few hours. Mr. Danahey was born in county Cork, Ireland, in 1831, and he was therefore in his 84th year. Coming to America in 1868, he located in Martinsburg, W. Va., but remained there only two years coming to this lacality[sic] and taking up his residence in Pekin in 1870. Mr. Danahey was employed on the repair work of the Cumberland and Pennsylvania Railroad and was continuously in the employ of the company up to the time of the accident which caused his death. Two years ago he was injured in an accident, when the handcar on which he and other employes were riding, jumped the track, and on his recovery was transferred from the repair squad to be flagman at the crossing where he was injured on Monday. Mr Danahey possessed all the wit and joviality so characteristic of the Irish race and he was a famiilar[sic] personage to old and young alike, being known throughout this vicinity and highly esteemed by all. The deceased is survived by one son, Mr. John Danahey, of Lonaconing, and one daughter, Miss Mary Danahey, who kept house for her father, his wife having died several years ago. The funeral will take place tomorrow morning at 9:30 o'clock, going on the electric cars to Barton, where services will be held in St. Gabriel's Catholic Church, of which the deceased had been a communicant since coming to this vicinity. Rev. Father A. Scorpati, the pastor, will officiate, and interment will be made in St. Gabriel's Cemetery.

DARR, John

While at work in Washington Mine No. 5, Piedmont and Georges Creek Coal Co., at Franklin, Tuesday morning about ten o'clock, John Darr, aged 18 years, of Westernport, was instantly killed, and Raymond Wilson, aged 25 years, was probably fatally injured by a fall of a roof rock. The men were employed as coal miners and were working together when without warning a large section of the roof came down pinioning them to the bottom. Fellow workmen succeeded after a time in removing the debris and found that Darr had been killed outright and Wilson seriously injur ed. Wilson's home is near Moorefield, W. Va., while Darr resided with his parents in Westernport. Both are unmarried. It was necessary to use a railroad jack to lift the rock, weighing several tons, which held down the men. The men were working in a room. The accident happened directly in front of State Mine Inspector William Walters, who took charge of the rescue.

When the first telegraph line was built along the Baltimore and Ohio right-of-way between Cumberland and Piedmont, W.Va., the work of erecting the poles and stringing of wires was superintended by Mr. Deetz, and during the war he had charge of the maintenance of th e company's wires between this city and Martinsvburg, W.Va. Mr. Deetz was one of the few operators in those days who knew the telegraph code since adopted by the Western Union Company, and sent many important dispatches for the Army of the Potomac to President Lincoln, and the Adjutant General of the Army, at Washington, D.C.

DELBROOK, Philip

Philip Delbrook, the twenty-five year old son of Mr. Henry Delbrooke, committed suicide last midnight at his home at Wellersburg, Pa., near Mt. Savage, under circumstances that are most distressing. He had been ill with typhoid fever for about one week and was in charge of a nurse. His wife was lying ill of the same ailment in an adjoining room. The nurse, after looking after Mr. Delbrook, went into the other room to look after Mrs. Delbrook, when the report of the pistol shot was heard in Mr. Delbrook's room. The nurse hurried back to the room to find that the young, man had shot himself over the right temple wit h a revolver. He died shortly after. Mr. Delbrooke is survived by his wife and two small children, and his father and mother. The unfortunate affair was due to the young man being out of his mind from the fever with which he was suffering. He is said to have been a man of splendid character and his death is greatly deplored by that whole community.
