SCHWARZER, William

ELK GARDEN - On Tuesday evening of last week the Elk Garden train ran over William Schwarzer about a mile above Harrison. The remains were brought to Elk Garden where Justice Shillingburg held an inquest. The verdict of the jury is that the unfortunate had been murdered and placed on the track for the train to run over. He was a miner and taken to Westernport for burial. Squire C. E. Shillingburg was called by phone to near Harrison last Wednesday night to hold an inquest over the body of a man supposed to have been ki lled by the engine on the Elk Garden Branch. A jury was impaneled and after examining the place where the body was found and after taking the testimony of several witnesses the jury brought in the verdict "That the man had been murdered and his body placed on the railroad" It is said that the name of the man was William Schwarzer. He worked in the Oakmont mines.

SCHWARZER, William

HARTMONSVILLE - We suppose there is not any reasonable doubt but what the man, William Schwarzer, who was run over by the train on the Elk Garden branch some time ago was asleep, notwithstanding the jury of inquest rendered a verdict of murder. We have the information from good authority that a man passing by saw the man lying on the track and wanted to help him up, but he refused to go, and told the man to let him alone, fo r he knew what he was doing. This man was the last man, so far as we know, that saw him alive. Now we are not trying to get any controversy through the papers, but we have written for the purpose of trying to make plain to the public the sad death of this unfortunate young man, and to try to clear up that which has been a mystery to many ever since it occurred.

SELL, Mrs. Josephine

Sell - In Addison township, January 22, 1878, of consumption, Mrs. Josephine, wife of John Sell, in the 31st year of her age. Having known the deceased from early childhood, it is with feelings of sadness that we record the death of one we esteemed so highly. The writer, having been her teacher for several terms of school, never had occasion to give her an unkind word, so excellent was her behavior. And later, when officially connected with a Sunday school of which she was a member, had ample opportunity to notice her punctual attendance and Christian deportment. For years she lived a pious, consistent member of the Lutheran church, and we have a right to hope from her Christian character and conversation during her last illness that s he has gone to her rest in the better home. She leaves a deeply bereaved husband, a child, parents, brothers and sisters, and many relatives and friends in the community to mourn her. May God comfort and sustain them, and after "life's fitful fever is o'er" may they clasp hands on the other side of the river and be forever with God. [abt.

SHAFFER, Floyd W.

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 Route 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. He is survived by his widow, Stella Smith Minehart; four children, Frederick, Rose Emma, Lillian Mae and William M. Jr., all at home; his father, Fred Minehart, Akron, O.; a brother, Irvin Minehart, Fontebale; and five sisters, Mrs. Etta Slathers, Dearth; Mrs. Katherine Ashford, Ann Arbor, Mich; Mrs. Nellie Stroup, Akron, O.; Mrs. Ruth Tracano, Denbo Heights, and Mrs. Lillian Stustie, Montour Noll 10. His mother preceded him in death 13 years. Floyd Shaffer is survived by his widow, Goldie Friend Shaffer, and three children: Willard, Margaret and Robert Shaffer, all at home; his mother, Mrs. Rebecca Shaffer, Brandonville, W. Va.; and four brothers: Chester R. Shaffer, Carlisle street, Uniontown; James A., Brandonville; Willie C., Hazelton; and Carlos E. Shaffer, Brandonville. Ray J.

On January 20 the mortal remains of Harvey Shaffer, of Colerin township, were consigned to their last resting place at the Wood's church near Rainsburg. Mr. Shaffer had been greatly afflicted with rheumatism during the past few years. About a year ago he was confined to his bed, for weeks, but he rallied and was able to move about and attend to his business But the disease took a different turn; it went to his brain and all efforts to arrest its progress proved futile. He gradually grew weaker and on January 17 breathed his last. His age was sixty years, three months and twenty-six days. Mr. Shaffer was a soldier in the civil war. He was a member of the 138th regiment, Pennsylvania volunteers. He served his country three years. He was a brave soldier, a good citizen and an honest man. He was a farmer by occupation, of robust constitution and a hard working man. He was a man of good common sense. He may not have been without faults, but he certainly gave evidence of belonging to the army of the redeemed. He was a member of the Lutheran church at Rainsburg, where he will be missed as a loyal and faithful co-laborer. Mr. Shaffer was married twice. The death of his first wife occurred about sixteen years ago. There were two children to this marriage — Mrs. Murray Beegle, of Colerain township, and William Shaffer, Jr., son-in-law of John Diehl, of near Rainsburg. With his second marriage he leaves a widow and two small children. May the influence of his life be a benediction to his children and to the community.

SHIMER, Thomas E.

A 34-year-old father of three children apparently was electrocuted last night while helping to install a conveyor in Eckhart Mine No. 10 of the Consolidated Fuel Company. District inspectors for the Bureau of Mines identified the victim as Thomas E. Shimer, husband of Mrs. Dorothy (Grant) Shimer, Cemetery Road, Eckhart. His death occurred at 11 p.m. Shimer was aiding several other miners setting up the conveyor in a small room 50 feet long from the main heading. His duties included pulling out a chain from a motor to the conveyor which loads coal. With him at the time were Carl Dixon, of Spring Street, Frostburg; William Pape, Route 2, Frostburg, and Michael DeMareno, Eckhart. A spokesman said Shimer came out of the heading in front of the motor and then went back in. Instead of retracing his steps, he tried to squeeze between the motor and a prop. Pape, who was about 15 feet away, said he heard Shimer exclaim, "Oh!" and turned around to see him hunched down with an arm on the motor and his head on the ground. Shimer's safety hat was still on his head and his hand was "jerking." According to Pape, he called to fellow workers and two men immediately began to give Shimer artificial respiration. Two hours of life-saving work proved futile . . . The body was brought to Memorial Hospital for an autopsy. (More to story) Besides his widow, Shimer is survived by a son, Thomas, seven years old; Dorothy, ten; Wilma Lee, two; his mother, Mrs. Lora Shimer; a brother, James W.

SINES, PETER L. (abridged)

Preston Republican, Terra Alta, WV (date unknown): Peter L. Sines, son of Mary Sines was born March 15th, 1868 near Hoy Run, and died May 20th, 1928, at Borgman, aged 60 years, two months and five days. He spent his entire boyhood in the pine swamp settlement. His mother died when he was but just a babe, so in early years of life he was deprived of one of the most precious jewels that any boy can possess, that of a mother's love. He was reared by his grandmother, Katie Sines. He grew into young manhood hardy as the hills over which he both played and worked and which he loved. On May 23, 1887 he was united in marriage to Ella F. Johnson, who preceded him in death on April 26, 1922. To this union were born nine children, eight of whom survive, namely: Mrs. Edna M. Garrett and Robert Sines of Akron, Ohio; Sylvester B. of Cranesville, John W. of Preston; Mrs. Alta Bergman, Foster, Fred and Harlon of Borgman; and 23 grandchildren. On June 18, 1923, he was again united in marriage to Mrs. Grace Feathers of Clarksburg, who survives him, also four step children, Mrs. May Boyer of Cumberland, Md.; Mrs. Jennie Arehart, James and Allen E. Feathers of Clarksburg and a host of friends who deeply mourn his loss. Mr. Sines had been in failing health for several months but his condition was not considered serious, which made it doubly hard, as he was well as usual on Saturday and died suddenly on Sunday morning at 5 o'clock. The funeral services were conducted at Hoy Run Wednesday morning at 10:30 o'clock by Rev. Emery Fike of Eglon. He was a strong believer of the church of the Brethren and his daily pastime was reading the Bible. He was a good husband and father and a fine neighbor and will be greatly missed in this community and by all that knew him. He was tenderly laid to rest in the Miller cemetery beside his companion and his grandparents, Leonard and Katie Sines. [followed by a poem about fathers, which was followed by the following item] Card of Thanks The children of P. L. Sines and wife, Mrs. Grace Sines, wish to thank the many kind friends and neighbors of Borgman and vicinity and also the people of Hoy Run, who came so willingly and tendered their help and comfort to us in the death of our father and husband. We want to also thank you all, who further emphasized your kindness by donating your cars on the day of the funeral and also for the beautiful flowers. We hope when this sad hour comes to your home you will be treated likewise. We assure you it was all appreciated and we are taking this method to try and demonstrate a portion of it to you.

SKELLY, Wiliam

Three Dead After Plane Crash Here Three men are dead as the result of the first airplane crash in the immediate vicinity of Cumberland, which occurred late yesterday afternoon when the Challenger biplane operated by Wm. M. Skelly, 23, plunged to the ground while taking off from the Maryland airport on the McMullen Highway. It was Skelly's birthday. The dead are: William M. Skelly, Cresaptown, owner and pilot of the plane, who died at 7:35 p. m. in Allegany Hospital. Glendon L. Hoff, 24, of 722 Hill Top drive, who died in the hospital at 10:10 p. m. Frederick G. Lease, 33, of 214 Fulton street, who was dead when pulled from the machine. According to witnesses, the plane had just taken off and had traveled but about 500 yards when Skelly put the ship into a vertical bank, from which it went into a side slip and then into a nose dive. 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 buring 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 awa y. 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.

Going to his home about six o'clock the discovery was made by Mrs. Sloan that her husband had quietly passed away. Mr. Sloan was a miner by occupation and had been employed for nearly thirty years as one of the foremen at Hoffman mine of the Consolidation Coal Co. He was universally liked by the people of the community in which he lived, and had a large circle of friends throughout the county. Major Sloan was about sixty-two years of age, and was twice married. He was the father of eight children, one of whom. Miss Maggie Sloan, is a popular trained nurse. He was a cousin of Mr. Jas. McHugh, the well known coal merchant of this city. In 1893 Maj. Sloan was one of the Democratic candidates for the House of Delegates.

SMELTZER, Joseph

We are sorry to report the sudden death of one of our aged and respected citizens, Mr. Joseph Smeltzer. He had been in failing health for several years, but was still able to do light work. On Tuesday, March 24, his daughter-in-law, Mrs. John Smelser, of McKeesport, Pa., who has been visiting friends in this vicinity, was invited to dine with Mr. Smeltzer's granddaughter, Mrs. C. W. Myers. Mr. Smeltzer was invited also. During the forenoon he appeared to be very much contented and in good spirits. After partaking a hearty dinner, he crossed the street to Mr. A. Z. Pote's store, where also is the post office. After inquiring for his mail he sat down on a bench and was conversing with some of his neighbors when he threw his head back and expired. Those present thought he had fainted and carried him out in the air, but his spirit had already taken its flight to meet Him who had given it. Mr. Smeltzer was born in Woodbury, now Bloomfield, township, Bedford county, April 21, 1822, where he resided all his life. He was always ready to do an errand or help a friend in need. He was respected by all and had no one to speak evil about him. In political affairs he was a democrat and, although the opposite party is strong in a majority, he held many times prominent township offices. He was married twice. The first time to Miss Susan Barley which union was blessed with five children: John, of McKeesport; Joseph of Michigan; Mrs. Sarah Stephens, of North Dakota; George, of Taylor township, and Mrs. J. Z. Pote, of this place. His second wife was Mrs. Mary Harker, the mother of Mrs. C. W. Zook and Mrs. G. E. Harker, of Roaring Spring, who bore him six children. Two died early in life and another, Mrs. John Teeter, died two years ago. The following survive: Michael, of St. Clairsville; Franklin, of Everett, Washington state, and Rudolph, of Bakers Summit, with whom Mr. Smeltzer resided since the death of his wife. Besides his children there are 46 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren living. We know that we shall miss Grandpa as we all called him, and hope our loss will be his gain in the celestial world where all is bliss and where care and trouble was never known. Funeral services were held in the Brethren church at Bakers Summit, conducted by Rev. John Holsinger assisted by Rev. Fred Dively. Interment in Holsinger cemetery.

That' "death leaves a shining mark" was fully exemplified Saturday evening at six o'clock when the spirit of Miss Marion C. Spier passed into the great beyond. Miss Spier was the third daughter of Mrs. Marion Spier and the late Colonel Andrew Spier, and while her death was not unexpected, the entire community was grieved by the announcement that her sweet life was ended. The deceased was a trained nurse, having graduated at the Garfield Memorial Hospital, Washington, D. C. Some ten days ago, while administering to a patient at the Allegany Hospital, diphtheria developed, quickly followed by a mastoid abscess, and blood poisoning, later communicating to the brain. With the hope of combating the trouble, Dr. H. O. Relk, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital, was summoned and who, assisted by local surgeons, performed an operation, which, while being successful, afforded little relief. In fact it was seen by the surgeons that there was no hope of saving her life. She was not robust when called upon to take the last case which she nursed, having been debilitated by overwork, but she yielded, and the result is too well known. Miss Spier, aside from being a graduate of one of the best training schools in the country, was a natural-born nurse, and was interested in the patients with whom she labored. Miss Spier was a consistent member of the First Presbyterian Church. Besides her mother, she is survived by one brother, Allen B. Spier, of the Second National Bank, and five sisters, Mrs. Bell (wife of John J. Bell, deputy appraiser of the port of Baltimore); and Mrs. A. R. Upham, of Baltimore, and Misses Anna, Mollie and Jessie Spier, of Cumberland, the latter being a trained nurse, having also graduated from Garfiefd Memorial Hospital. The funeral services of Miss Spier were held this morning at 10 o'clock from the residence at 66 Washington Street, and were private, and were conducted by Rev.James E. Moffatt, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church. The body was placed in a hermetically sealed casket last night, and removed to the parlor. The floral pieces s ent by those who knew and loved Miss Spier were so numerous that it required an extra conveyance to carry them to the grave in Rose Hill Cemetery, where the interment was made. The pallbearers were Dr. James T. Johnson, Dr. Thomas W. Koon, Dr. E. L. Jones, Dr. W. R. Ford, Dr. R. Y. Fechtig, Dr. T. B. MacDonald, Dr. H. S. Walles, and Dr. S. B. Claybrook.
