MACKLEY, Walter and Henry

As the result of a defective gas stove and no ventilation, two young railroad men lost their lives here last Tuesday. They dead men were brothers, Walter Mackley, aged 27 years, who married a daughter of Joseph Idleman, of Mt. Storm, who survives with one daughter, and are staying at the home of her father. The other was Henry Mackley, single, aged 24 years. They were both from the section of Mt. Storm, in Grant Co, but in their younger days lived at Sulphur City. They were both firemen on the third division of the B&O RR and had been on the road over a year. They boarded at Carnell's boarding house on W. Piedmont St. It seems that they came in from the road, one at 12 and the other at 10 o'clock, and went to bed, leaving the gas stove burning very high with no ventilation in the room. When some of the family went to get them up for super, a little past six o'clock, they were both dead, and from appearances had been dead for some hours. The bodies were taken to Markwood's undertaking rooms and prepared for burial. Squire J. T. Doyle, acting as coroner, held an inquest and the jury returned a verdict that the men had come to their death by monoxide cre ated by a gas stove burning too high in a room without ventilation. Joseph Idleman, father-in-law of Walter Mackley, came down Wednesday to look after his remains, and yesterday morning both bodies were taken to Mt. Storm for burial. They belonged to the railroad men's brotherhood, a committee of whom assisted in looking after the care and removal of the bodies.

MADORE, Ruth

A most promising young life came to its worldly end this morning with the death of Miss Ruth Madore, the beautiful and talented daughter of Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke Madore, Bedford street. Miss Madore fell a victim to typhoid fever about two weeks ago. She succumbed to its ravages this morning at 6' o'clock. Seldom has the death of a young person brought so many expressions of regret as did the announcement today of the death of Miss Madore. Persons who did not know her in person, but knew of her sterling character and worth were to be heard speaking words of sorrow at the death of one so young and whose life gave so much promise. Miss Madore was 21 years old. She was a graduate of Allegany County High School, class of 1907, and later of State Normal School, Frostburg. Last year she taught in Pennsylvania Avenue School under Prof. Geo. J. Tipton, and would have returned there this fall. She was a member of Centre Street M. E. C hurch and very active in all its work, a member of the choir and superintendent of the Junior Epworth League. She is survived by her father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. L. Clarke Madore, a sister, Miss Edith Madore, and by two aunts who made their home on Bedford street, Miss Louisa and Miss Zillah Madore. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

MEEHAN, Mrs. Mildred Flynn

Former newspaper reporter, Baltimore historian dies at 69 J. SUTER KEGG ~ Times-News Contributing Writer BALTIMORE — Cumberland native Mildred Flynn Meehan, known as an authority on the history of Baltimore landmarks, died last week at Fallston General Hospital at the age of 69. A 1942 graduate of Cumberland's Ursuline Academy, she launched a career as a news reporter for the Cumberland Evening and Sunday Times after attending Dumbarton College in Washington, D.C. Several years later she became a news reporter in radio for station WCUM in Cumberland. In 1952 she moved to Baltimore and worked briefly as a reporter for WCBM radio there. Prior to accepting employment with Baltimore's Department of Housing and Community Development in the role of public relations, she worked a short while as a dental hygienist. Her job as tour guide, judging by the highly-professional manner in which she handled the duties, stamped her as a modern "Lady Baltimore." "If there was anyone who knew the minutiae, the arcane, the everything of Baltimore, it was Millie," John McCauley, former deputy commissioner of the Housing Department, told The Evening Sun . He said it was not unusual for her to be called at the last minute for tours on Sundays and holidays. Mike Bowler, a Sun staff reporter, wrote that a trip with Ms. Meehan was a mixture of business and pleasure. "She would cover the Shot Tower, public housing, high-rise construction for the elderly, private rehabilitation in Fells Point, Tyson Street and Seton Hill, and other places of interest." "She had her favorite spots, too, such as the smallest house in Baltimore on Brexton Street. Her favorite monument was the statue of Latrobe on lower Broadway." Mary Louise Young, who retired several years ago after one of the longest reporting careers with the Cumberland News and Times-News , recalls that Millie Flynn was her first friend when the Times hired her. "They wouldn't let women cover the police beat then," said Mrs. Young, "so Millie and I had places like the Post Office and draft boards on our beats." Ms. Meehan, whose father was the first cousin of R. Emmitt Flynn, former chief of the Cumberland Police Department, enjoyed being a journalist and wrote a number of articles for The Evening Sun about her experiences of growing up in Cumberland, the B&O Railroad, and the historic Baltimore monuments. Ms. Meehan was an enthusiastic traveler and, according to the Evening Sun , could keep friends entertained for hours, spinning tales of her trips on the Orient Express and her visits to Ireland. She was married for a year to George Meehan in the 1950s and was the mother of a son, Michael Meehan, of Joppa. The oldest of six children, she was born June 6, 1924, daughter of the late Daniel Joseph and Elizabeth (Adams) Flynn. In addition to her son, she is survived by two brothers, Michael and George Flynn, and two sisters, Mary McKenzie and Margaret McKenzie, all of Cumberland. Another brother, Daniel, died in 1972. A Mass of Christian Burial was held this past Saturday at Corpus Christi Roman Catholic Church, Baltimore. Ms. Meehan was secretary of Cumberland Chapter 137, first unit of the American Newspaper Guild in Maryland, during her employment at the Cumberland Times.

MEEKS, Abraham

Horrible Accident Cumberland, Md., May 20. - At Oakland, this county, yesterday, Abraham Meeks, who had just been released from jail after serving a forty days’ sentence for selling liquor without a l icense, returned home and began acting strangely. A short time afterward his wife observed him as he was about to shoot himself with a shotgun. She grasped the muzzle of the gun just as it was discharged. The charge entered his breast, killing him and tore the wife’s hand completely off. He is supposed to have been insane.

MEYERS, Christian

Aged Somerset County Man Killed by B and O Train Christian Meyers of Garrett was killed on the railroad near Salisbury Junction Friday afternoon, and his remains were interred on the G. C. Heckle farm in Summit township on Saturday. Meyers' age was well up in the seventies. He was somewhat eccentric and lived alone. He has had more or less trouble with his neighbors for years, and only recently went to Somerset to bring suit against one of them whom he claimed had slandered him. He consulted a lawyer who wanted him to plant down $20 as a retainer, and that caused the old man's desire for revenge to subside. He had a number of children, and it was while returning home from a visit to a daughter in Meyersdale that he was run down by an engine and his body terribly mangled. Meyers' death recalls a prominent tragedy in the criminal history of Somerset county, he being the father of Peter Meyers who was hanged in this county for murder. Meyers and his son fell out over a small house and lot at Garrett, the house the old man has been living in alone since his son was hanged. Both claimed ownership, but the old man seemed to be in possession. He was making some repairs preparatory to moving into the house when his son Peter came along with a shot gun, and in a rage shot Michael Kearney, a carpenter who was assisting with the repairs. Kearney died from his wounds a few hours later, and Peter sought refuge in an unoccupied house nearby. The same evening, when Constable Nelson Lenhart and a posse went to arrest Meyers, he shot and killed John Lenhart, a member of the posse, and a brother of the Constable. Meyers then fled to the cellar of another house, where he was arrested a few hours later. He was tried, convicted of murder, and hanged, on January 24th 1900. This left the old man in undisputed possession of the property where he thereafter lived.

MEYERS, Francis/Frank

Bureau of the Evening Times ~ Lonaconing. Md. Sept 27, "Take the coal off my feet, Fred. I'm all right" were the last words spoken by young Frank Myers who met his death in the Blue Bell mine yesterday morning. Frank, his father, John Meyers, his brothers, George and Fred had been working in the same heading for the past two weeks, but yesterday morning John Myers and his son, George, were moved leaving Frank and Fred together. The boys were setting a bar and had fitted one end of it into a hole in the coal intending to prop it at the other end, when a lump of coal dropped on Frank, crushing him to the floor. The coal struck him while he was slightly bent over. The place where he and Fred were working was about 7 feet high, but young Myers was over six feet tall, and not yet sixteen years. The injured boy was carried from the mine and died on his way home, breathing his last near the Catholic cemetery. He was crushed about the upper part of the body. Frank Myers was a remarkable boy in many ways. He would not be sixteen years of age until November and if he had lived to attain his full growth he would have been a veritable giant. He had a large head and his school teachers say that he had a most remarkable memory, very quick to learn, and a docile pupil. Deceased is survived by his parents, two brothers, George and Fred, and sisters. Mary Ann, Christine, Lizzie, Barbara, Frances and Teresa, all living here. The bereaved family has the keen sympathy of the entire community for the Meyers fa mily are good people and highly respected. Frank was a good boy, a steady worker and a home lover. He never made his parents the slightest trouble. The funeral will take place Saturday morning. A requiem mass will be celebrated in St. Mary's church and interment will be made in St. Michael's cemetery, Frostburg.

MICHAELS, James Harmon

Frostburg, Dec. 3 — Pinioned under a rock fall yesterday in a small fuel mine at Barrellville, this county, James Harmon Michaels, 40, of Wellersburg, Pa., died at 2 a.m. today in Miners Hospital. He suffered internal injuries and a fractured pelvis. Michaels was working with the mine owner, Melvin Reed, Barrelville, when the section of roof caved in. Reed summoned other miners, who extricated the injured man, and took him to his home, where he was examined by Dr. Henry J. Bostetler, Mt. Savage, and then taken to the hospital. District Mine Inspector Frank T. Powers said today that he believed the man's injuries were aggravated by the fact that no ambulance was used to carry Michaels, who was taken home and to the hospital in automobiles. Powers also commented that accidents in small mines are increasing because proper supervision is lacking. The Reed operation is known as the Parker High Grade Mine and six men are employe d. Michaels is survived by his widow, Mrs. Rosalie (Saylor) Michaels; his mother, Mrs. Peter Michaels, Barrelville; a daughter, Dawn; two brothers, Wilbert, of Barrelville, and Tony Michaels, of Akron, O.; and three sisters.

DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN MILLER FAMILY ~ Child Fatally Burned and Father Fatally Injured at Same Time. Harvey Miller of Johnstown, R. F. D. 3, who was foreman for Contractor Keiper in the construction of the new Church of the Brethren edifice in Meyersdale, was fatally injured Wednesday morning by falling off a scaffold while at work on the front façade of the new building. He was erecting a short ladder on the scaffold to climb to an upper window, when he lost his balance and fell to the ground, a distance of 15 or 20 feet. His back was broken by the fall. He was taken to the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, in W. C. Price’s ambulance, where he died today (Thursday). Almost the same time that his tragic accident occurred a little daughter, of Mr. Miller, Zelma, four years old, while toddling about the Miller home, was so badly burned that she died in an adjoining room in Memorial Hospital at 3:45 p.m., Wednesday. The child’s clothing became ignited and was burned from her little body. She was admitted to the same institution where her father was battling for life, at 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, and her agony was mercifully ended by death a few hours later. The father, lying on a bed in another room in the in stitution, was not told about the accident to this daughter and knew nothing of her death. Other members of the family are prostrated by the double tragedy. Miller was a splendid workman and efficient foreman. He was much liked by his fellow workmen and all others with whom he came in contact here. Meyersdale Republican, Thursday, October 11, 1923 Transcribed by Vernon A. Miller February 22, 2010

MILLER, Lawrence

Killed by Kick of a Horse. Lawrence Miller, aged about 25 years, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Miller, of Somerset twp., was kicked by a horse on Friday morning and died in the hospital at Johnstown on Saturday afternoon, where he had been taken for treatment. The young man was assisting his brothers on the farm of their father about three miles from Somerset, and was going to clip the fetlocks on a horse when it kicked him in the pit of the stomach. The blow did not appear to be a very hard one, and the young man did not feel any bad effects from it for several hours, but later in the day began to suffer great pain, and was taken to Somerset and from there to the hospital. The physicians were of the opinion that the blow broke the intestines. The sad part of the affair was that he was to have been married on Sunday afternoon to Miss Annie Glessner of near Somerset, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Glessner.

MILLER, William Atwood

William A. Miller, 12, Civilian Defense Messenger, Was First War Fatality in Meyersdale ~ Burns and Shock Received in Line of Duty, At the Time of A Statewide Blackout, Resulted in the Untimely Death of One of the Community's Outstanding Boy Scouts - Local Organizations Turned Out in Reverence at What Was Probably the Largest Funeral For a Juvenile Ever Conducted in Meyersdale Because of his eagerness to serve his country in the war job assigned to him, little Billy Miller met an untimely death as the result of burns and shock received in an accident on the night of the recent statewide blackout. William Atwood Miller, aged 12 years, 5 months and 11 days, son of Carl A. and Lulu (Speicher) Miller, died in the Wenzel hospital at 3 o'clock last Saturday morning and his remains were laid to rest in Union Cemetery Monday afternoon. The conditions surrounding the untimely passing of this beloved Boy Scout cause community-wide bereavement, for his death may well be termed Meyersdale's first fatal World War No. 2 casualty. Little Billy Miller had retired early last Thursday evening but when the blackout alarm was sounded he jumped hurriedly into his clothes, intent on reaching his post as a messenger on the local Civilian Defense Council. Although Billy's ambition was to fly one of Uncle Sam's big bomber planes, he was content and eager to do well the job in home defense that had been assigned as his part in the country's war effort. To reach his post Billy took a shortcut through the alley at the rear of the Chevrolet garage. At the intersection of Clay Street he attempted to hurdle a deep trench where workmen had been making repairs on the steam heating mains. In doing so he slipped and tumbled backwards into the six-foot excavation where steam and hot water were escaping from the pipes that carry the heat to the business places in the center of town. E. L. Donges, owner of the Meyersdale Heating System, upon hearing the blackout alarm, sent the workmen to the power plant nearby but he himself, remained on duty as an air-raid warden in the vicinity of the excavation on Clay Street. The red signal lights stationed about the deep trench were extinguished in compliance with the rules of a blackout. Upon hearing the approaching youth, Mr. Donges attempted to halt him, but Billy shouted, "I'm a messenger and must get to headquarters." After the boy fell into the deep hole, Mr. Donges helped him to climb out and wanted to take him home, but Billy said, "I'm all right," whereupon he tore loose from Mr. Donges and continued on his way. At the Main and Center Street intersection he passed Officer J. A. Brocht, but did not go far until he returned and said, "I'm sick," then collapsed in the officer's arms. As the officer was carrying the unfortunate little hero to his home on Grant Street he said, "Do you care if I cry," and Policeman Brocht assured him he had no objections. But, the brave little soldier stifled the tears and did not complain of the excruciating pains suffered. Dr. J. W. Wenzel was called to the Miller home to administer to the youth. On Friday, as his condition grew worse, he was removed to the Wenzel Hospital, where he died at 3 a.m. Saturday. His death was caused by second degree burns and shock. During the time his remains lay in state at the parental home, hundreds of adults and children called to pay their respects. The casket was encircled with forty-six beautiful floral pieces sent by organizations and individuals. Besides being a messenger in the local Defense Council and a member of Boy Scout Troup 142, Billy was active also in juvenile church groups. He was the librarian in the Zion Lutheran Sunday School and a member of the Junior Choir. Billy Miller had a very likeable personality. He was an ardent reader of books on aviation. His favorite pastime was building model airplanes, and he knew practically every type and model of plane made by the various manufacturers. He had an exceptionally alert mind, ambitious and full of energy. Long before he was eligible to join, he attended the regular meetings of the Boy Scout troop and took an active part in civic welfare work done by this group of boys. He was a model Scout, obedient to his parents and teachers, and ever ready to do a good turn for anyone. In addition to his parents, William Atwood Miller is survived by a brother, Teddy R. Miller, aged nine, a sister, Caroline, aged eight, and a step-sister, Miss Elaine Speicher, a nurse in a Cumberland hospital. Also surviving are his paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William W. Miller of Large Street, and his maternal grandmother, Mrs. Minnie Speicher of Salisbury Street. Funeral services were conducted at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon in Zion Lutheran Church by Rev. R. S. Dunkelberger, D.D., assisted by Rev. DeWitt L. Miller, pastor of the Church of the Brethren. The pallbearers were members of his Boy Scout Troop, accompanied by an escort representing both local Boy Scout Troops and the American Legion. Practically all of the different units of the local Defense Council were well represented at the funeral. Also in attendance was Clarence M. Sanner, c hairman of the County Defense Council and several other persons from Somerset representing the County organization. Interment was in Union Cemetery under the direction of W. C. Price & Son, local morticians. January 21, 1943; Meyersdale Republican, Meyersdale, Somerset County, PA.

MILLER, William Belmont (abridged)

William Belmont Miller, 24, son of Mrs. Ethel Stanton Miller and the late Fay L. Miller, died in the Charleroi-Monessen Hospital, Tuesday afternoon, May 11, from injuries he received in an automobile accident on Monday afternoon, May 10. Miller was a passenger in a Dodge convertible coupe which was driven by James Edwards, 20, son of Mr. and Mrs. George Edwards, also of Grantsville, when the car collided with one driven by Lewis L. Anderson of Whitsett, Pa., on Route 51, three miles north of Perropolis, Pa. Others in the car were Ernest Hartman of New Colonial Inn, and Lester Hunter of Avilton. The group had expected to attend a night baseball game in Pittsburgh. The three last mentioned escaped with minor injuries. Miller sustained a crushed chest and fractured skull. He was taken to the hospital in an unconscious condition and died the next day. It is alleged that Edwards, driver of the Dodge, failed to make a signal when making a turn to cross the road to a soft drink stand, and a collision resulted. The Edwards car was overturned. Miller attended the Grantsville High School and worked at the plant of the Celanese Corporation of America, near Cresaptown, for three years.

MINEHART, William M.

THREE MEN DIE WHEN TRUCKS CRASH HEADON ~ Uniontown and West Virginia Men Killed in Collsion of Heavily Laden Vehicles - OCCURS AT WALTERSBURG Three men were instantly killed - their bodies horribly mangled - and two others seriously injured at 1:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon in a head-on collision on Rout 51, just north of Waltersburg, between a loaded beer truck and another heavily laden with pit posts. The dead: William M. Minehart , 35, of near Burgess Field, driver of the Beer truck. Floyd W. Shaffer , 28, Hazelton, W. Va., driver of the lumber truck. Ray J. Nicola , 23 Hazelton, W. Va., passenger on the lumber truck. The injured: Charles Uphold , 30, West Main street, both hands badly lacerated, suffering body bruises when thrown from the beer truck in which he was a passenger; condition late last night in Uniontown Hospital was reported as not serious, but injuries painful. Charles Anderson , also of East Main street, suffering from cuts and bruises in Uniontown Hospital where he was admitted for treatment. Both were passengers in the beer truck. Shaffer and Nicola were literally decapitated when the heavy load of lumber and truck motor crushed them; Minehart's body was also badly crushed. The beer truck owned by Joseph Vecchio, was traveling South toward Uniontown. It was thrown to one side of the road by the impact and rested in the ditch. Minehart's body was removed without difficulty. Shaffer and Nicola's bodies were wedged tightly between the motor and the load in the truck cabin. It was not until rescuers and workmen lifted the mangled mass of wreckage that the bodies of the two men were disclosed. Among the first arrivals on the scene were Dr. and Mrs. F. R. White of Bruceton Mills, acquaintances of Shaffer and Nicola. It was they who identified the mangled bodies. With hundreds of broken beer bottles scattered along the road, together with a profusion of pit posts, traffic on the highway was temporarily blocked. Scores of motorists dashed to the scene as soon as the news reached the city adding to the difficulties of Lieut. Baer, Sgt. Augustine, Corp. Jones and Patrolman Toma of the State Motor Patrol, who were directing traffic and investigating the tragedy. Minehart had obtained a truck load of beer in Pittsburgh and was returning with the load to Uniontown. The lumber truck was heading in the direction of Perryopolis and apparently had some of the mines in the lower end of the county as a destination.The bodies were removed to the J. Harry Johnston & Sons funeral establishment, that of Minehart being later removed to the establishment of C. B. Dearth at New Salem. William M.

Minehart was aged 33 years and nine days, having been born August 26, 1902.

MOONEY, William J. (also FOUTCH, Charles & HAMMOND, William P.)

W. J. MOONEY DIED AT HOME EARLY TODAY ~ Had Been With Foutch Yesterday—W. P. Hammond Victim of Wood Alcohol Poison County authorities are expected to investigate into sudden deaths of two local white men today, who, the Police Department believe, are the victims of poisonous liquor. One man is believed by police to be Charles "Cotton" Foutch, about 45, who had lived in a shack on lower Canal street, in the rear of the Crystal Laundry plant. He was found in a dying condition this morning in the shack and died at the Allegany Hospital a half hour later. The other is William J. Mooney, aged 40, a laborer, who died early this morning at his home, 1004 Grape Alley, from undetermined causes. William P. Hammond, 27, 573 Arnett Terrace, died suddenly Thursday night in Winchester, Va., while on a visit to relatives, of wood alcohol poisoning according to the county coroner at Winchester. Foutch In Agony When Found Foutch was found by Officers Raymond Johnston and John W. Smallwood lying on the floor of the shack about 10:30 o'clock this morning. Two men, Dewey Emerson and John Allen, had reported to the police that there was a sick man in a shack on Canal street. Foutch appeared in great agony, his hands clenched, mouth open, and in a semi-stupor, the officers said. He was placed in the patrol ambulance and taken to the Allegany Hospital. He was in a dying condition and lived only a short while after being examined by Dr. Charles Zimmerman. His body was removed to the Stein Funeral Home. The officers said they found nothing in the shack that would indicate that Foutch had been drinking, nor were they able to detect the odor of liquor on him. Mooney Apparently Sober William J. Mooney, age 38 years, unmarried, died at the home of his parents, Andrew and Johanna Mooney, 1004 Grape alley at 10:30 this morning. According to a statement from Andrew Mooney, his son came home last night around 10:30 o'clock and was apparently sober. He made some comment to Mrs. Mooney, his mother, about some-one dying or some-one dropping along the "Tow Path" when he was on his way home. The family was not certain as to just what the statement was, and Mrs. Mooney could not be interviewed. Andrew Mooney was emphatic about his son being sober and stated. "When he came in last night I never dreamed he would be a corpse this morning". Mr. Mooney claimed that during the night he heard his son coughing and called to him asking if he "wanted anything". His son said "no", and Mooney claimed he did not know he was sick until this morning when he appeared worse, and a physician was summoned. The actual cause of the death is vague, and physicians state Mooney was dying when they arrived. It has been determined however that Mooney had been "down along the tow path with some of the boys" and it is possible that his death may have been due to poison liquor. Ac cording to advice received by local authorities, Mooney and Foutch had been seen together yesterday. Mooney is survived, besides his parents, by one brother, Michael, and three sisters, Mrs. Margaret Litton, Thomas street, Mrs. Julia Frame, Pioneer Place and Mrs. Johanna Thomas, North Centre street.

MOORE, Rev. J. H.

Washington, Dec 12 - A man not fully identified but believed to have been Rev. J. H. Moore, former pastor of the Presbyterian church at Keyser, was found dead in a lodging house here today. The police believe death resulted from heart disease but are conducting a further investigation. The above telegram was received here yesterday morning. Mr. Moore left here Wednesday on train No 14 for Washington, arriving there about ten o'clock. On going to his room he complained of not feeling well and about 11:30 o'clock was found dead in his bed. He had not been feeling well for some time, but no one thought there was any reason for alarm. Mr. Moore was about 64 years of age, and leaves a wife, three daughters and three sons. He was pastor of the Presbyterian church here for about fifteen years until, six years ago, when he resigned. For a time he was pastor of three different churches, but for the past couple of years he had no regular ch arge and stayed most of the time at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Griffith, his wife being in Baltimore. His children are at different places, all employed, but John, who is in school at Lexington. Mr. Griffith went to Washington yesterday morning to look after the remains. The burial will probably take place at the native home of the deceased at Charles Town. Keyser Tribune, December 15, 1912

He spent most of his earlier youth in Crellin and and was a graduate of Oakland high school. During World War II, he served as a tank driver with the Army in Africa and Italy and was wounded in the chest.

Police Version of Accident - The accident occurred about 4:52 Sunday morning. The time was established by a broken watch on the wrist of Richard Moran. Trooper First Class, A. M. Sploch, of the Maryland State Police, who investigated, said that Gilmore, driving Moran's 1951 hardtop convertible, had just rounded a bend and apparently was confused by the headlights of another vehicle parked along Gilmore's side of the road. Apparently thinking the recently relocated road lay to the right of the headlights, Gilmore swerved off the road onto a gravel shoulder. By the time he realized his mistake, it was too late to stop. The car skidded several hundred feet, careened back to the road, and smashed against the front of the parked car. Four of the victims were thrown from the car with only Earl Kalbaugh and Richard Michael still in the back seat. Sploch said all of the dead except Charles Kalbaugh died instantly. Witnesses said Kalbaugh called for help then crawled under a fence at the George M. Barton farm and died of internal injuries. Dr. H. V. Deming, deputy county medical examiner, said the others died of skull fractures, internal injuries and neck fractures. James. F. Thompson , the sixth occupant, was thrown from the vehicle and later was moved to Sacred Heart hospital, Cumberland, where he is recovering from his injuries. Occupant of Parked Car Hurt. Miss Joreetta Proudfoot , 21, of Rowlesburg, the only occupant of the parked car, sustained severe lacerations of the face and eyes when her head was thrown through the windshield by the impact. She told police she had been drowsy and thought she was dreaming when she saw the other car careening wildly towards her. Lewis H. Allwine, 24, of Highland, N. J., operator of the parked car, stated that he and his brother, Ernest, had pulled off to the left side of the road when they were flagged by Wilbur Fresh, a stranded motorist, of Akron, O., who had developed engine trouble. Gilmore's wife, Mrs. Betty Guy Gilmore, arrived at the scene of the accident about two hours later, unaware of her husband's death. Police said she was anxious over her husband's failure to return home and she stopped at the scene as officers were preparing to leave." The Herald, Piedmont, West Virginia, Thu 4 Sep 1952

MORAN, Thomas ⚰️

The Disaster at Westernport - Further Particulars The two men, Messrs Thomas Hogan (not Mullan as erroneously reported by our Daily) and Thomas Moran, killed by the boiler explosion at Westernport on Tuesday were buried according to the rites of the Catholic Church in the cemetery of that denomination in Westernport Wednesday. At the time of the explosion, the engineer had his hand on the throttle of the engine and was in the act of starting from the yard. The indicator marked 105 pounds according to the dying statement of Mr Hogan who lived in great agony three hours after receiving his injuries. The explosion threw him with sufficient force against the front of Kildow's Hall to damage the framework of the building. Portions of his clothing were afterward found sticking to the front wall and marking the point of contact between his person and the house. He leaves a wife and one child in Piedmont, W Va. The fireman, Thomas Moran, was an unmarried man. He was thrown high in the air and falling downward came in contact with a fence over which his brains were scatted in all directions. Kildow's Hall, the building nearest on one side of the railroad, was considerably racked. The windows were demolished and the furniture of the Lodge Room badly damaged, the most of it being ruined by water, steam and fragments of the engine and boiler. The charts, pictures and etc of the different orders (we understand that seven different associations and secret societies used the room) were almost utterly ruined while the plaster was knocked down from the ceiling and walls in many places. The first floor which is used as a store was very little injured, the goods only suffering a considerable shaking up from the concussion. The Nesbitt residence, on an eminence about twenty-five yards above the railroad, and opposite Kildow's Hall was much injured by a piece of the exploded boiler which pierced the front wall. Greater damage would have been done but for the porch, which broke the effect of the missle. Among the many narrow escapes recorded is that of two little children in a house adjoining Nesbitt property. They had been looking from a window, and were called away a few moments before the explosion by their mother and just in time to escape a heavy fragment of the boiler which entered the window alluded to and passed through the house. The scene immediately after the disaster was photographed by a Piedmont artist. The wreck has been entirely removed and the injured buildings are fast undergoing repair.

George Morgan, about 47, of Carlos, was burned to death yesterday morning when fire engulfed a small building he occupied from time to time in that community.

Aaron Winters, fire chief of the Shaft Volunteer Fire Company, said a call was received at 11:30 a. m., and when the firemen arrived on the scene, the building was engulfed in flames. Floyd Winebrenner and William Yates, both of Carlos, said they were in Winebrenner's Store nearby when they saw flames emitting from the building.

Early Thursday morning, Harold Bittinger, caretaker at the control house of the Savage River dam, noticed a tire floating near the breast of the dam. A little later that morning, John Robert Martin, of Westernport, who was traveling along the Savage River road above the dam, noticed tire marks to the edge of the embankment and saw that trees down over the steep embankment had been skinned of their bark. Martin notified Bittinger and F. D. Glass, tender of the dam, who in turn contacted the Maryland State Police. Tfc. Milton G. Hart and Tfc. Bernard Chabot, who began the investigation, called William R. McDowell, 8 Jones street, Piedmont, who is a "scuba" diver. McDowell donned his diving equipment and entered the water of the dam. With the aid of a light, he located the body of Morris in his pickup truck about 30 feet below the surface of the water. After McDowell attached a line to the vehicle, it was pulled to the surface by a tow truck operated by the Reeves Motor company. The State Troopers stated that the truck had gone off the right side of the 24-foot roadway and plummeted about 110 feet down a steep embankment which borders the dam. An autopsy of Morris' body revealed the cause of death was asphyxiation and drowning. Authorities theorized that the victim died while attempting to escape from his submerged truck. Born in Westernport, Morris was the son of Hugh Morris and the late Mrs. Mary Eva (Bradley) Morris. He attended Bruce high school, Westernport, and was a veteran of service with the Army. In addition to his father, he is survived by his wife, Mrs. Doris (Wilt) Morris; four sisters, Mrs. John Everline, and Mrs. Howard Dunnivan, both of Westernport; Mrs. Joseph Harris, of Keyser, and Mrs. Michael Mihok, of Aliquippa, Pa.

Also surviving are four brothers, Elmer, Richard, John and James Morris, all of Westernport." "The Herald" Piedmont, West Virginia, Thu 6 Apr 1961
