FAHEY, Bernard T.

Bernard Fahey Asleep in Death ~ The Well Known Sexton of St Patrick's is Dead ~ Faithful To His Duty As Sexton, he was so Prompt in the Ringing of the Church Bell that People Regulated their Watches by it. He was 63 years old. Mr Bernard T Fahey, the well known sexton of St Patrick's Catholic Church, died at his home, 213 North Centre St, yesterday morning, aged 63 years. Mr. Fahey was stricken with paralysis several weeks ago and had had several light strokes since. Yesterday, a week ago, the stroke which preceded his death came, rendering him speechless in which condition he remained until the time of his dissolution. When the end came, he passed peacefully away surrounded by his the members of the family. A most gratifying instance to Mr Fahey and his family was that a few days before his death, his half-brother, Mr Bartley Kelley, of Dunellen, N.J. whom he had not seen in forty-six years came here to visit his sick relative and was present during his last moments. Mr Fahey was perhaps one of the best known and most highly esteemed citizens of Cumberland, having been sexton of St. Patrick's for nearly thirty years attending to his duties with a fidelity as marked in his attendance upon the services of the church. So prompt was he in the ringing of the angelus at morning, noon and evening hour that clocks and watches were regulated by it. It is said that during the thirty years as sexton, he never missed the ringing of the angelus at the appointed times excepting when he was sick and this was rare up to the time of his recent illness. He called the living to the services. He bade a welcome to the New Year and signaled the Old had fled. Mr Fahey was born in Connemara, County Galway, Ireland coming to this country when a small boy, taking up his residence in Patterson, N.J. with relatives. He came to this city about 1869, about the time of the starting of the Baltimore & Ohio rolling ??? in which he became an employee. Mr Fahey was married in this city, his wife being Miss Mary J O'Shea, daughter of the late Michael J O'Shea, who survives him with the following children: Messrs Michael F and Edward B, John J and Misses Agnes and Bernadette Fahey, all of whom live at family home. He was a brother-in-law of Mr James McHugh, the well known coal dealer. Mr Fahey was a member of the Allegany Lodge No 31 Shield of Honor and the Holy Name Society. The funeral will take place at 9 o'clock Wednesday morning at St Patrick's Church with high requiem mass, the cortege leaving the residence at 8:40 o'clock. Interment will be in the cemetery of the church. Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Monday, December 14, 1908 - pg 1, col 6

FAIRFAX, William

William Fairfax, colored, aged about 55 years, was fatally shot at noon Saturday by Robert Burley, aged 15 years, also colored, following a dispute over chopping wood. Fairfax was in the employ of Burley’s mother and they occupied a cabin on the F. C. Welton farm about two and one half miles from Cumberland. Fairfax it is stated raised an iron cooking pot to strike young Burley, who secured a shotgun and almost tore Fairfax’s leg off with the charge of shot. Fairfax bled to death from the wound before aid could be summoned. Young burley escaped to Cumberland and placed under arrest at the home of a colored family on Thomas street. He was taken from bed yesterday and removed to jail at Keyser, W. Va., the tragedy having occurred in Mineral County. Burley is said to have been a thrifty colored lad and to have a bank account. Burley loaded the gun with shells which he found in a cupboard and he was not long in taking aim at Fairfax, whom, he thought, according to this statement when arrested, he had shot in the ankle. He did not stop to ascertain the nature of the wound but fled to this city. Mr Welton notified the sheriff at Keyser but the Cumberland police did not receive the information until late Saturday evening. Officer Charles O’Hara, in his brother’s automobile, and the Keyser officer, soon located Burley, who was lodged in the station house. This was near the midnight hour. Early yesterday morning Burley was taken to Keyser. –Cumb News of 3rd.

FARMER, Romangus

Romangus Farmer, aged about 26 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Farmer, who lives near Shilon church, Hampshire Co, was drowned in Capon river while attempting to ford the stream, which was swollen from recent rains, Wednesday afternoon of last week. Richard Goode, driving one team, and young Farmer, with another, loaded with barrels, started about noon for Augusta. Mr. Goode drove across the bridge at Capon Bridge and the young man who was dro wned could have done the same, but it is thought he tried to overtake the first team by fording the stream at another place. The river had risen several feet in consequence of heavy rains the night before, and when the young man drove the team into the stream the wagon was tilted and swept aside by an undercurrent, causing Mr. Farmer to be swept down the stream.

FINN, James

Eastbound passenger train No 2, on the W. Va. Central division of the Western Md. Railroad, last Monday, ran down and instantly killed James Finn, an American, about three and one half miles east of Hendricks. Engineer C. H. Deffinbaugh saw the arm lying across the track, but he was too close upon him to stop th e train. Finn was evidently asleep when struck by the engine. The forward wheels passed over his body, cutting him in twain but a portion of his clothing and suspenders caught on the sand pipe and he was dragged about 25 feet. The remains were place aboard the baggage car and taken to Thomas where they were prepared for burial. The dead man was about 30 years old.

FISHER, Conrad

PASSED AWAY ~ Conrad Fisher, the Last of the Old Stage Drivers Mr. Conrad Fisher died Saturday at 8 o clock, a.m., at his residence on Hanover street, aged seventy-one years. With the death of Mr. Fisher passes away the last of the stage drivers of the old National Pike, the deceased having driven stage between this city and Somerset for years. Many are the thrilling stories he used to relate of the hair breadth escapes he had from highwaymen during those days. On one of these occasions as he was driving through a dark like ravine he saw ahead of him a fence erected across the road. He knew well what that meant, and urging his horses to a rapid gate he was able to land his passengers safe on the opposite side of the fence just as the surprised highwaymen emerged with drawn revolvers from their hiding place.

FISHER, Titus B. (see also Mary L. Yoder)

Children Fatally Injured A half-brother and sister are reported to have died instantly yesterday morning when the push vehicle they were riding was hit by a car as they proceeded onto Route 669, two miles west of Salisbury, Pa., in Somerset County. Pennsylvania State Police at Somerset said Titus B. Fisher, three, and Mary L. Yoder, six, both of Star Route, Springs, Pa., were killed about 10 a.m. Wilbur E. Miller, Somerset County coroner, told State Police their deaths were caused by broken necks and skull fractures. State Police at Somerset said the two children were riding a power mower from which the blades and mower had been removed so that it could be used as a push toy. The vehicle was being pushed down a private drive at their father’s home by Moses L. Yoder, eight, another half-brother. As the vehicle carrying the two children approached Route 669, State Police reported, Yoder let go of the handle, and allowed the push vehicle to move freely into the path of a north bound car. Marian Shoemaker of Springs was driving the 1975 Chevrolet Impala that hit the vehicle and the children. State Police said visibility at the scene was limited because of high weeds. Somerset County Control sent Salisbury Ambulance to the scene. Mrs. Shoemaker was transported to Meyersdale, Pa. Community Hospital, where she was allegedly treated for shock and released. State Police at Somerset said the investigation into the accident is continuing. Mary L. Yoder was born in Meyersdale, Nov. 3, 1974, a daughter of Annie B. Yoder Fisher and the late Lewis P. Yoder.

Lonaconing Bureau of the Evening Times Lonaconing Md, Nov 19 The funeral of William Fitzpatrick, who died in a hospital at Cumberland last Mon, will take place from St. Gabriel's church, Barton, tomorrow at 9 A.M. Interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery below in Barton. William Fitzgerald(sic) will be missed in Pekin. He was a good man in every acception of the word. Honest, industrious and kindly. He had the esteem of all who knew him. Recently, he spent a great deal of money to re-open abandoned coal mines near Pekin. It was a brave v enture, but William Fitzpatrick had worked long in the coal mines and he knew how to get out coal. His venture was successful, and had he lived he would have demonstrated that much of the abandoned coal which the theorists and the commercial course miners left behind them could be mined at a profit. His death is a loss to this community.

Flanigan, who was about forty-five years old, lived in an old shack in South Cumberland. When he was taken to the police station, several physicians who examined him declared that he could not live more than two hours. Efforts were made to have him admitted to the Almshouse, but the authorities there refused him admittance because of his being a sufferer from tuberculosis. After several days during which time he lay in the police station, arrangements were made for his entrance to the Western Maryland Hospital. The body is at Stein's morgue. Arrangements for the funeral have not yet been completed. Evening Times; Cumberland, Allegany Co, Md., Thursday, December 19, 1912 - pg 6, col 2
