Robert Frederick Lafferty, 34, of Cresaptown, father of four children, took his own life shortly after noon yesterday when he drank two ounces of Lysol. Lafferty, employed in the filtration department, Celanese plant, was alone when he drank the poison, and was found slumped on the floor by his son, Earl, 12, about 12:30 p. m. The boy had come home from school to get a written excuse so he could go to the dentist. Earl, riding his bicycle, hurried to the home of his grandmother and then of his uncle, both about two miles away. His uncle, Joseph Winters, a Celanese foreman, tried to give the dying man milk as an antidote, but his mouth and throat were too badly burned for the milk to save him. Lafferty died enroute to the Allegany Hospital, where he arrived at 2 p. m. Dr. Linne H. Corson, deputy medical examiner, returned a verdict of suicide, blaming despondency following heavy drinking. Mrs. Edna Lafferty, 31, wife of the dead man, told State Trooper B. O. Mason that she last saw her husband when he came home drunk at 7 a.m. He had drawn his pay Thursday and Friday was his day off. Mrs. Lafferty was in Cumberland at the time of the tragedy. Mrs. Lafferty said her husband had threatened to kill himself many times while drunk. She said he was in good health, but had been drinking heavily for several years. Mr. Lafferty was born at Allegany Grove, the son of Jacob and Clara Finley Lafferty. Surviving, besides his wife and parents, are four children, Earl, Glenn, Donald and Roberta; a brother, Vernon, Allegany Grove; and two sisters, Mrs. Edward J.

The Kelly-Springfield test car driven by John Morrissey, going in the direction of Frostburg, was the first on the scene of the accident and with but the lapse of a few moments was on the way to the hospital with the lifeless body of Burman Layman and badly mangled form of Arthur Layman.

Arthur Layman and Burman Layman were employed at the Baltimore and Ohio reclamation plant in Cumberland, the former in the capacity of an acetylene welder, the latter as a craneman. Both rode to and from their homes on the motorcycle daily, usually making the trips between points at a high rate of speed. Reports are that only last evening on their return from work they were traveling at a rate between 60 and 70 miles an hour. Burman Layman is survived by his parents, one brother and three sisters.

About 11:30 yesterday morning both men were working at the breast coal when a cross-bar which had been put up to keep the roof in place, gave way and tons of coal and rock fell completely burying Mr. Layman and catching Mr. Evans, the latter being fortunate in being able to release himself, although badly bruised about the body. Mr. Evans at once went for help and the work of rescuing the buried man commenced with Mr. Brode directing the work. At one time the body was partly uncovered when another fall occurred, completely burying the body again. With renewed vigor the men increased their efforts, timber was put up and the pplace[sic] made secure and again the work of rescue went on. All day these heroic men worked until about 4:30 in the evening when the lifeless body of the unfortunate man was found and brough out of the mines and taken to the rooms of the Frostburg Undertaking Company and prepared for burial. When the first fall occurred and Mr. Evans had succeeded in releasing himself he called to Mr. Layman who answered, saying he was caught under the coal near a car which they had been loading. Shortly after this the seco nd fall occurred which completely covered the man who from all appearances, must have smothered to death as no bones were broken and very few bruises were found upon his body. The deceased is survived by his father, Mr. Norman Layman, and three brothers and two sisters, Messrs, Olin, Walter and Aza and Misses Sophia and Dessie.

LAYMAN, Margaret Hendley & husband Paul Layman

An early morning fire in Frostburg today claimed the lives of a retired couple, who died while apparently trying to make their escape from the flaming two-floor apartment building. Paul Layman, 57, and his wife, Margaret Layman, 65, a retired schoolteacher, died of smoke inhalation at about 2 a. m. after intense smoke filled their rear apartment at the corner of Charles and Broadway Streets in Frostburg. According to Frostburg Fire Department Chief John C. Durst, the body of Mrs. Layman was found only a few feet from the entrance to the apartment with a flashlight lying nearby. He conjectured that Mrs. Layman was trying to reach the door when she was either overcome by smoke or felled by debris falling from the ceiling. Mr. Layman was found in an upstairs bedroom, also overcome by smoke, on the floor after having tried to crawl out of the room. The couple occupied the rear apartment of a building owned by Mrs. Elvira H. Nelson. The building had formerly been a grocery store operated by Mrs. Nelson and her late husband, Andy Nelson. According to Chief Durst, Mrs. Nelson, who occupied a small apartment in the front of the building, had been awakened by the smell of smoke at about 1:30 a.m., and called her daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Hubert Crowe, at their home in Finzel. Upon the Crowes' arrival at 2 a.m., the rear of the house was in flames, Chief Durst said. Mr. Crowe ran to a neighbor's house to sound the alarm. Firemen had the blaze under control within ten minutes and had been working inside several minutes before Mrs. Layman's body was found under a pile of debris only a few feet from the entrance. Chief Durst said that the fire grew so intense in the short time that the doors were burned off and that the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor of the Layman apartment were gutted. Cause of the blaze, the second in two nights in the western part of the county, according to Deputy State Fire Marshal Robert Shimer, of Westernport, was bad wiring in the kitchen and living room areas. Frostburg City Police said that two officers, George Buckalew and Guy Griffith, had been patrolling the area at about 2 a.m. and smelled smoke in the vicinity, but were unable to locate the blaze. Mrs. Layman was born in Hoffman, daughter of the late John William and Anna (Metzner) Hendley. She had ended a teaching career on July 1, 1970, having taught 13 years at Cresaptown Junior High School and the last 26 years of her career at Beall Elementary. She was past matron of Chapter 15, Order of the Eastern Star and a member of the national, state and county Retired Teachers Association. Besides her sister, Mrs. Nelson, she is also survived by two other sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Geis, Baltimore, and Mrs. Pearl Richardson, Rockville. Mr. Layman was born at Wright's Crossing, son of the late Eugene and Nettie (Morgan) Layman. He was a member of Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Frostburg. Both he and Mrs. Layman were members of the Salem United Church of Christ. Surviving are three brothers, Joseph Layman, Shaft; and Harry and Robert Layman, both of Wright's Cr ossing; five sisters, Mrs. Loretta Cullen, Washington; Miss Mary Layman, Cumberland; Mrs. Doris Stonebraker, Frostburg; a twin sister, Mrs. Pauline Wagniere, Westport, Conn., and Mrs. Nancy Gordon, Frostburg. The bodies are in the Hafer-Sowers Funeral Home where friends will be received today from 7 to 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The Cumberland Evening Times, January 8, 1974

LAYMAN, Paul & wife Margaret Hendley Layman

An early morning fire in Frostburg today claimed the lives of a retired couple, who died while apparently trying to make their escape from the flaming two-floor apartment building. Paul Layman, 57, and his wife, Margaret Layman, 65, a retired schoolteacher, died of smoke inhalation at about 2 a. m. after intense smoke filled their rear apartment at the corner of Charles and Broadway Streets in Frostburg. According to Frostburg Fire Department Chief John C. Durst, the body of Mrs. Layman was found only a few feet from the entrance to the apartment with a flashlight lying nearby. He conjectured that Mrs. Layman was trying to reach the door when she was either overcome by smoke or felled by debris falling from the ceiling. Mr. Layman was found in an upstairs bedroom, also overcome by smoke, on the floor after having tried to crawl out of the room. The couple occupied the rear apartment of a building owned by Mrs. Elvira H. Nelson. The building had formerly been a grocery store operated by Mrs. Nelson and her late husband, Andy Nelson. According to Chief Durst, Mrs. Nelson, who occupied a small apartment in the front of the building, had been awakened by the smell of smoke at about 1:30 a.m., and called her daughter and son-in-law, Anna and Hubert Crowe, at their home in Finzel. Upon the Crowes' arrival at 2 a.m., the rear of the house was in flames, Chief Durst said. Mr. Crowe ran to a neighbor's house to sound the alarm. Firemen had the blaze under control within ten minutes and had been working inside several minutes before Mrs. Layman's body was found under a pile of debris only a few feet from the entrance. Chief Durst said that the fire grew .so intense in the short time that the doors were burned off and that the living room, dining room and kitchen on the first floor of the Layman apartment were gutted. Cause of the blaze, the second in two nights in the western part of the county, according to Deputy State Fire Marshal Robert Shimer, of Westernport, was bad wiring in the kitchen and living room areas. Frostburg City Police said that two officers, George Buckalew and Guy Griffith, had been patrolling the area at about 2 a.m. and smelled smoke in the vicinity, but were unable to locate the blaze. Mrs. Layman was born in Hoffman, daughter of the late John William and Anna (Metzner) Hendley. She had ended a teaching career on July 1, 1970, having taught 13 years at Cresaptown Junior High School and the last 26 years of her career at Beall Elementary. She was past matron of Chapter 15, Order of the Eastern Star and a member of the national, state and county Retired Teachers Association. Besides her sister, Mrs. Nelson, she is also survived by two other sisters, Mrs. Elizabeth Geis, Baltimore, and Mrs. Pearl Richardson, Rockville. Mr. Layman was born at Wright's Crossing, son of the late Eugene and Nettie (Morgan) Layman. He was a member of Farrady Post 24, American Legion, Frostburg. Both he and Mrs. Layman were members of the Salem United Church of Christ. Surviving are three brothers, Joseph Layman, Shaft; and Harry and Robert Layman, both of Wright's Cr ossing; five sisters, Mrs. Loretta Cullen, Washington; Miss Mary Layman, Cumberland; Mrs. Doris Stonebraker, Frostburg; a twin sister, Mrs. Pauline Wagniere, Westport, Conn., and Mrs. Nancy Gordon, Frostburg. The bodies are in the Hafer-Sowers Funeral Home where friends will be received today from 7 to 9 p.m. and tomorrow from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. The Cumberland Evening Times, January 8, 1974

LAYMAN, Ralph Mason

FROSTBURG — Ralph Mason Layman, 90, a long time resident of Frostburg, passed away on Saturday, Sept. 11, 2010, at the Egle Nursing and Rehab Center in Lonaconing. He had been a resident of the home since May of 2007. Ralph was born at the Layman Farm on Long Stretch in Garrett County on Jan. 21, 1920. He is survived by his wife of 68 years, Mary Margaret (Shuey); sons Douglas Allen, and Kenneth Edward and wife Lyn; 5 grandchildren, Mark, Stephen and wife Erynn, Rebecca and husband John (J.D.) Norman, Katherine Layman, and Scott Layman and one great-grandson, Hunter Douglas. Ralph was the 5th child of Winfield Scott Layman and Ora (Durst) Layman, who owned and operated the farm where Ralph was born. All of Ralph's siblings preceded him in death. They are William Carl, Odell Price, Marshal Thomas, and Lillian Scott. The Ralph Layman Family has a long history in Western Maryland. The earliest documented ancestor was George Layman who settled in Westernport in the late 1700’s. The family later moved to what is now Garrett County. Ralph's great-grandfather, George Lewis[sic, Louis] Layman was a proprietor of the Old Tomlinson Stone Farm and Inn in Little Meadows; and later was elected Sheriff of Allegany County/Garrett County and served from 1869-1871 (prior to Garrett County and Allegany County separating). After retiring as Sheriff, George cleared and operated the farm below the Zion Methodist Church. He also operated a saw mill on the farm. This farm became known as the Half-Way House during the early years of the National Pike, now Route 40. Wagoneers rested here, watered, feed and changed horses enroute to points West. Even during the early 1900’s, the home was often a refuge when severe weather hindered travel. Ralph and Mary were married in Cumberland, on June 25, 1943. They did not own a car, so they took the bus to Winchester, Va., for their honeymoon. They originally met at the Colonial Inn on Long Stretch (now the Hen House). Mary was a waitress at the restaurant; the Layman farm was located about 1 mile west of the inn, and Ralph and Mary began a romance in early 1940 that continued until Ralph's passing. Ralph and Mary were long time members of the United Methodist Church in Frostburg. They both were very active until declining health prevented them from continuing. Ralph was honored for his 40 years of service with a concrete bench that is located on Church property just west of the church. Ralph retired from Allegany Ballistics Laboratory in 1982. His employment began there in 1952. Prior to that he was employed by Prichards Feed and Grain, on Main Street in Frostburg. Ralph went to school initially in a one room school house on Long Stretch, and finished high school in Grantsville. He later attended Catherman's Business School in Cumberland. Ralph was loved by all who knew him. He will be missed. Ralph was cremated in accordance to his wishes. A memorial service will be conducted Friday, Sept. 17, 2010, at noon, in the Durst Funeral Home, P.A., 57 Frost Ave., Frostburg, with the Rev. Rebecca Vardiman officiating. Friends will be received one hour prior to services at the funeral home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be sent to Frostburg Memorial Church or Egle Nursing Home.

LAYTON, Joseph

GRANT COUNTY - On Friday, September 6th, Joseph Layton, the subject of our story seemed in his usual health, walking around all day and in the evening chopped some stove wood, something he had not done for several months, after which he ate a hearty supper, but shortly after eating while preparing to retire became very sick and about one half hour died. He was educated in the school of “hard knocks” being born May 26, 1824, when the chances for a book education were very meager and all of that kind of education that he was able to secure was just to read and write a little. His father was a native of eastern Virginia and his mother, whose maiden name was Mary Jenkins, was a product of western Virginia. He made his home with his daughter, Mrs George R Borror, for a number of years. His second wife died about two years ago and now there are two vacant chairs. His remains were laid to rest by the side of his wife. Rev Stearn performed the last sad rights.

The plane crashed into a field on the Barton farm and burst into flames. The pilot and Hoff were thrown clear, but Lease was caught in the wreckage. Skelly and Hoff ran from the machine, their clothes blazing. Hoff collapsed after he had run into a barbed wire fence. Skelly ran toward the Baltimore and Ohio railroad track but collapsed in a gully. Both had attempted to beat out their flaming clothing. George Barton witnessed the crash and ran to the scene. Aided by his brother, Ferman Barton, N. S. Yoder of Pinto and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Summerfield, he placed the pilot and Hoff in his car and took them to Allegany Hospital. Both were so badly burned that their deaths were expected momentarily. Their clothing was burned from their bodies and Skelly's face was badly battered. Dr. Joseph P. Franklin, county and deputy state health officer, and Officer S. E. Phillips of the Maryland State Police arrived a few minutes after the crash. Dr. Franklin discovered that Lease was still in the burning plane. He took a tire cover - from his car and wrapping it about Lease, pulled him from the ship. Lease was burned to a crisp and dead. At the hospital Skelly was attended by Dr. James T. Johnson, Sr., and James T. Johnson, Jr. Hoff was attended by Dr. G. C. Blake. Hoff knew that he was dying and said goodbye to friends who called at the hospital. He was delirious when Floyd Jenkins and John ("Boots") Sapp came to see him. He said he wanted his collar loosened and when he felt that the end was near said, "Well, goodbye boys, I'm going." Hoff was perhaps the best known of the trio. He was formerly a sergeant and front guide in Company G, First Infantry, Maryland National Guard. He was regarded as a good soldier and was well liked by fellow members of the company. An investigation was started immediately by State's Attorney William A. Huster and other county authorities as well as Officer Philips. No inquest was deemed necessary. The body of Lease was not identified for several hours. Keys found near his body fitted the door to his room at the home of Hugh Stevenson, 214 Fulton street, where he boarded, and this garage. Skelly was one of perhaps a score of local aviators. He had been instructed in flying by William J. Johnson and Walter A. Coughenour, also local pilots. He purchased the plane April a year ago, and had over 200 hours of solo flying to his credit. He had a students' pilot's license. The crash was the worst in the history of the Cumberland area. Two U. S. Army fliers were burned to death more than a year ago when their plane crashed into the side of Little Savage Mountain, and another was killed a short time later, when he crashed at the intersection of the National Highway and the Meyersdale road. Both crashes were due to fog. Two Army fliers were injured, though not seriously, when a bombing plane crashed on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks near Roberts Station, several years ago. The field from which the plane took off was one of two near the city. It was opened last year by Harold W. Krimm and operated throughout the summer. An air circus, featured by the stunt flying of three Marine Corps fliers, was held there under the auspices of the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars. Local pilots differed as to the cause of the crash. It was said that the plane was in first class shape, but one pilot said this morning that he had flown it a little over two months ago, at which time a piston in the 90-horsepower Curtis OX motor had broken and cracked a cylinder. He said that he was able to make a forced landing and advised Skelly to rebuild the motor. He added that he understood that a new cylinder and piston had been fitted but that the motor had not been rebuilt and was not turning up sufficient revolutions to be considered air-worthy. A Department of Commerce inspector is expected here today to investigate the crash and the above facts will be given him. All three men were married and had children. The pilot is survived by his wife, Mrs. Mary Skelly, and seven small children. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at 9 a. m. from St. Ambrose's Catholic Church, Cresaptown. Lease is survived by his wife, Mrs. Edith Lease, his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Reuben B. Lease, and by two small children. Surviving also are four brothers, Arlie T., Richard T., Mason and Frank Lease, and two sisters, Mrs. Clarence E. McKenzie and Miss Harriet Lease. Funeral services will be held at 9 a. m. tomorrow from the Cresaptown M. E. Church, with burial in the family plot at Dawson. Hoff is survived by his wife and one daughter, Nancy, by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Hoff; by three brothers, Robert A., Roy R., and Russell E., and by three sisters, Mrs. C F. Rice, Mrs. Charles Zimmerman and Miss Mildred Hoff. Funeral services will be held at 4 p.m. tomorrow from the home, 722 Hill Top Drive, with burial in Rose Hill Cemetery, the Rev. H. Hall Sharp officiating. George Barton and Firman Barton, on whose farm the airport is located, were badly burned about the hands in tearing the few remnants of burning clothing from Hoff and Skelly. The two men with Richard Summerfield saw the plane crash and were about 250 feet from the spot. They immediately started toward and were within fifty feet of the blazing ship when Hoff and Skelly emerged from it, groping blindly through the smoke and flames. Unable to reach Lease who was pinned in the cock-pit, the trio chased after Skelly and Lease and tore the burning clothing from them. The Bartons, who are brothers, suffered burns about the hands. Hoff had run along the fence and pieces of flesh were pulled from his body by the barbed wire. All his clothing except portions about his belt and shoes, were burned a way. Skelly, whose eyes were burned out, ran a short distance from the plane and fell into a gully where the Bartons tried to aid him in whatever way they could. Summerfield, who is a World War veteran of this area, advanced the opinion that the men did not free themselves from plane but were dropped out when the bottom of the cockpit had burned away.

LEASURE, Clarence

SPURNED HUSBAND DEAD SELF INFLICTED PISTOL WOUND PROVES FATAL ~ Clarence Leasure Fires Bullet Into Brain When Estranged Wife Refuses to Live With Him. ~ ENACTS TRAGIC SCENE IN HER PRESENCE ~ Pair Had Finished Heart to Heart Talk In Secret Regarding Strained Domestic Relations. Clarence Leasure, 28 years old, road worker, who shot himself in the head about 6 o'clock last night at the home of his mother-in-law, Mrs. Kate Wolfe, Chestnut St, Mapleside, after his young wife, Mrs Helen Leasure, from whom he was estranged, refused to return and live with him, died of his wound at 9 o'clock this morning in the Allegany Hospital. Shoots Self in Front of Wife Angered at her refusal to return to him, Leasure, as he stood a few feet away from his wife, suddenly drew a .32 caliber pistol from his pocket and sent a bullet crashing through his brain. He held the pistol on the right side of his head above his ear. He was attended by Dr E B Claybrook at the hospital after his arrival there in an ambulance. He was unconscious and never rallied. County Investigator, Terrance J Boyle and Deputy Sheriff Hugh A Hotchkiss, who investigated the shooting, learned from the member of the Wolfe family that Leasure came to the home about 3:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon seeking his wife. Couple Had Been Estranged They had been estranged in recent months. He had been living with his brother, Tolbert Leasure, Chestnut Street, while his wife and two children remained with her mother in the same neighborhood. The wife is employed at the Cumberland Macaroni Factory, Thomas Street. Mrs Wolfe stated that when Leasure came to the house, there were present her three children, Elsie, Mary and Edward Wolfe and Charles Owens, a boarder. The wife came home shortly five o'clock. Leasure, Mrs Wolfe declared, refused her invitation to have supper with them. Leasure and his wife went into the front room of the house and talked. During their conversation, Mrs Leasure told him she would not return and live with him, the officers learned. Angered at Wife's Refusal The couple came out of the room into the hall which was unlighted at the time, and Mrs Leasure started up the stairway, repeating she did not intend to live with him any more. "All right then", Leasure is reported to have answered. The wife suddenly heard the report of the weapon and the sound of Leasure's body as he crumpled and fell to the floor of the hall, bleeding from a wound in the head. Mrs Tolbert Leasure, sister-in-law of the dead man, told officers that Clarence Leasure had the pistol in his overcoat pocket wrapped in paper as early as Tuesday. She did not question him about the weapon. Leasure had given no intimation, the family said, that he intended to take his life. Leasure is survived by his wife , Helen, and two small children, Phyllis and Richard. He is also survived by his mother, Mrs Thomas Leasure, Willow Brook Road and five sisters: Mrs Thomas Shipley, Purcell, Pa; Mrs Bow McCue, Robertsdale, Pa; Mrs J D Shipley, Lindersville; Mrs Thomas Naills, Mapleside and Mrs William Price, Mapleside.

Samuel Frederick Leatherman, who departed this life March 8, 1913, at the age of 26 years, 9 months, and 7 days, was the son of Mrs. Kate Leatherman, of New Creek. Samuel was born at Purgitsville in 1887, and lived there a few years. Later he with his parents moved to New Creek, which was his home until the time of his death. There he had many friends who appreciated and loved him and also sympathize with his surviving mother and brother in their grief, which nothing but time, the great healer, can temper and alleviate the anguish of their loss. He was a consistent member of the Christian Church of Elkins, W. Va., uniting with it two years ago. Although death came like a thief in the night, it found him willing and, as he said, not afraid to die. His remains were taken to Burlington cemetery, and there laid beside his father and other loved ones who had preceded him. Where the pains of death are past, Labor and Sorrow cease; And life's short warfare closed at last;

His soul forever in peace. Keyser Tribune, April 25, 1913

Edward T. Liller, son of the deceased James Liller, of Ridgeville, W. Va., departed his life October 18, 1913, at 7 o'clock a.m. at the home of his sister, Mrs. J. H. Ellifritz, aged 23 years 4 months and 28 days. He was a member of a family of 13 children, of which three brothers, two sisters and his father have gone to that world beyond, and he has gone to meet them on the golden shore. He has been in ill health for the past year, and nothing seemed to check the disease. He had been married three years. We will meet him no more in this world but hope someday to meet him on that golden shore, to clasp glad hands where parting will be o'er. Those left to mourn the loss of a loved one are as follows: a wife and mother and four brothers and three sisters, Crowder S, Tom, Wade and Guy, Mrs. John Main, Mrs. J. H. Ellifritz and Mrs. R. V. Tucker. The remains were laid to rest in the Liller graveyard at Ridgeville, and funeral services were conducted by Rev. Wilhite.

LILLER, Jacob

Mr. Jacob Liller is dead. Mr. Liller was born near Ridgeville, Hampshire Co, Va, as it was then in the year of 1843. He lived all his life in that and the vicinity of Keyser, well known and respected by all who became acquainted with him Mr. Liller has been a lifelong Republican, and while in health took some part in politics, always kept himself well posted, knew something of the wire working and rascality generally used among politician s. He could advance some excellent advice along that line to those who were honest enough at heart to receive it. He has been very much afflicted for years but worked whenever able to go. It can and is said of him that Uncle Jake Liller was one of the most industrious, honest, upright men I ever knew. The community and many friends will and do miss Uncle Jake.

LINDELL, Jesse

The funeral of Jesse Lindell, who was killed in a collision between a B. & O. locomotive and the South Cumberland auto bus, took place at 2 o'clock this afternoon from his home. Services were conducted by Rev. M.B. McLaughlin and burial was made in Rose Hill cemetery. Young Lindell was killed at the Harrison street crossing of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad Saturday night at 11 o'clock when an engine on the B. & O. crashed into the South Cumberland auto bus, totally demolishing it and instantly killing Jesse Lindell, aged 14 years, son of Charles T. Lindell, of 141 Humbird street. Sixteen other passengers on the bus were more or less injured. The injured are: V. Campbell, age 19 years, residence 501 Springdale street, Cumberland, scratched about knee in four places and bruise on back of head; Thomas Whalley, age 17 years, residence 13 South Cedar street, Cumberland, cut about little finger, left hand; M. Campbell, residence, 501 Springdale street, Cumberland, age 16 years, contused knee; Rodger Eackles, residence South Cumberland, scratched about face; Mrs. A. B. Cox, Cumberland, shock from general shaking up; F. Villing, 104 Walnut street, Cumberland, slightly bruised; Miss Regine Houck, South Cumberland, shock; Mrs. J. A. Ault, 1320 Virginia avenue, South Cumberland, shock and lightly bruised; James Ault, son of Mrs. Ault, slight bruise; Mrs. W. S. Cross, 1520 Virginia Ave., Cumberland, shock; Miss Rebecca Gross, 1320 Virginia avenue, fingers bruised; Mrs. A. Swarner, No. 3 Browning street, general bruises; Miss Hazel and Albert, children of Mrs. Swarner, bruised; Mrs. C. B. Sweitzer, 13 Oldtown road, shock; Miss Emma Evans, Cumberland, not injured. Young Lindell, it is said, endeavored to jump from the bus when he realized the danger, but the crash came so quick that he was prevented doing so and the impact was so great that he was thrown out of the door of the bus against a box car standing at the side of the crossing. In the fall he sustained a compound fracture of the skull, lacerated ear, a concussion of the right shoulder, his right arm was broken at several places, and his chest was crushed. The Butler ambulance was summoned and it was with a great deal of difficulty and not until the wrecked auto bus was jacked up on one side that the body of the unfortunate young lad was extricated from beneath the wheels and freight car. The body was removed to the Butler morgue and prepared for burial. It was later removed to the Stein funeral parlor and then to the home in South Cumberland. The engine, No. 2154, that struck the auto, had arrived but a few minutes before with passenger train No 12, and was running down the east freight track to the shops. Box cars on both sides of the crossing hid the approaching engine and the operator of the bus, W.V. Gulbronson, did not see his danger until the front of the engine was near the crossing. The engineer applied his emergency brakes but without result as the bus was pushed down the tracks fully twelve feet and crushed into splinters before the engine was brought to a stop. It is a miracle that every passenger in the bus was not killed. Coroner William E. Shaw held an inquest Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the Stein morgue and rendered the following verdict: "We, the jury, find that Jesse Lindell came to his death by being crushed while riding on the South Cumberland bus, said bus being hit by Baltimore and Ohio engine No.2154, at Harrison street, on the night of September 5th, it being the opinion of the jury that the death of Jesse Lindell could have been avoided had a watchman been placed at this crossing."

DIES OF STROKE ~ Mine Superintendent's Funeral Services Set For Monday Patrick Locke, one of the pioneers of the Fayette County Coke Region and regarded as a father of Leith Works where for many years he was superintendent, died at 3:25 a. m. Friday, February 22, 1929, in St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburgh, of a final stroke of paralysis. Three other strokes had been suffered by Mr. Locke, the first in 1922 which caused his retirement from his duties with the corporation. Mr. Locke was born in Barton, Md., a son of John and Ann Nevin Locke. He came to Fayette county as a young man and was first located in the Connellsville district. Leith first heard of Mr. Locke in 1882 when as transportation boss he made an initial record for himself there. In 1896 he had gone through the successive steps and was the company's mine foreman. In 1902 he became superintendent and remained in that capacity until his retirement. Mr. Locke was a charter member of the Youghiogheny Council Knights of Columbus and one of its early Grand Knights. Later he transferred his membership to Uniontown Council. For many years he participated in the sessions of The Coal Mining Institute of America and often was on its programs. He was one of the early members of the Frick Veterans Association. Mr. Locke was complimented many times by company officials because of his interest in the humanitarian policies of the corporation. Ho was one of the first, to organize first aid teams for his mines and succeeded in reducing accidents to a normal figure long before serious attention had been paid to conservation of life and limb by national interests. Mr.

Locke married Elizabeth Jane Doonan of Dunbar on June 23, 1887.

Funeral services in the Brinkhaven Church of Christ will be at 2:30 p.m. Friday for David D.

Lawrence Hayes will officiate and burial will be in Tiverton cemetery. Friends may call tonight at the Dusthimer funeral home in Danville. Dr. A. J. Earney, Holmes county coroner, said death was due to gas poisoning. The boy is believed to have been overcome by fumes from the crude oil stored in the tank. The boy and a cousin reportedly stopped at the tank while on their way home after helping with farm work at the home of a neighbor. David's cousin ran to the home of the parents, Mr. and Mrs. David Logsdon, to tell them David was in the ta nk. He apparently had been overcome by fumes while leaning over the rim of a 15-foot storage tank. The father tried artificial respiration but was unable to revive his son. Surviving besides the parents are five sisters, Mrs. Myrtle Hammond of Brinkhaven, Mrs. Dorothy Helms of Butler, Mrs. Mary Alice Fronsman of Killbuck, Donna Lou and Sharon A. of the home.
