SCHELL, Jan 21 - We were pained last Sun morning when we received a message over the wires announcing the death of our good and much esteemed friend, Will Wagoner, of Keyser. We have not set out to write an obituary or biography of this man, yet we wish to say that we have been acquainted and done business with Mr Wagoner for nearly 20 years and we always found him strict ly upright and honorable in all his dealings. he was one of those genial characters who always had a pleasant word and a smile for every one he met and always made a person feel better by having met him. Truly the world is better by him having lived in it. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family and will add that we can sympathize as many are not able to do.

WALSH, John Thomas

"Funeral services for John Thomas Walsh, 73, retired public school teacher, who died early Saturday morning at the Allegany Hospital, where he had been a patient since May 20, were held today at 9 a.m. in St. Patrick's Catholic church, with interment in St. Mary's cemetery, Lonaconing. Mr. Walsh, who taught for many years in the Allegany county schools and was a member of the Centre Street faculty when he retired, resided at the Walton Hotel here in recent years. When he was eighteen months old he lost his right arm at the shoulder during the battle at Bloomington bridge in 1864. He was asleep in his crib when a "pumpkin ball" from a large calibre rifle came through the roof of his home, which was in the line of fire as the Union and Confederate forces battled over the nearby fields. His sister, Mary, less than ten years old, crouched over the crib to protect the baby as bullets tore through the frame dwelling. The "pumpkin ball" struck her, inflicting fatal wounds and mutilated the baby's arm. Despite the loss of his arm, he completed his education and became a teacher in the county schools, serving for many years in the George's Creek region. He was active some years ago in Democratic party affairs in the county. Mr. Walsh is survived by three sons, Edward J., Washington, D.C., John G., Erie, Pa., and Francis Walsh , Piedmont, W. Va.; three daughters, Mrs. Lum Savage and Adele Walsh, Piedmont, and Mrs. J. A. Dexter, Baltimore; two brothers, Edward Walsh, Clarksburg, W.

WALSH, Mrs. Mary Reynolds

"Piedmont and War Times-There, died in Cumberland at the Western Maryland hospital, last Saturday evening, July 16, a lady, Mrs. Mary Reynolds Walsh, resident of Lonaconing, whose residence for a while in Piedmont's vicinity was a very painful one, and whose memory of the surroundings are vivid long years after, even until her death. The family resided here during the years of the Civil War, and if we are not mistaken, the home was on "old" Hampshire Hill. When one of the minor raids of the Confederate was made on us, the "Johnnies" were chased out of town by a skirmishing party of "Yanks" who, having a cannon, made use of it out on Bloomington road from Westernport. A ball from this piece of artillery entered the house of the Walsh's over on Hampshire hill, killing a dear little girl, and taking off the arm of a little boy baby. That boy is now well known in Allegany county, Md., where the family have long resided, he from early manhood engaged in the profession of teaching, at present, and for some years back, being principal of the large public school at Midland."

WEIR, Capt. John

Death of Capt. John Weir - Sketch of His Life Capt. John Weir, who has been at the point of death for several days past, died at his residence, corner Baltimore and Liberty streets, about 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. About a year past the deceased sustained a heavy fall from a buggy on Baltimore street, and was injured internally. The hemorrhages that caused his death were supposed to have resulted from these injuries. The first attack of the hemorrhage was last December and since then he has had several. He was unconscious when he died and had been since Thursday morning. He displayed wonderful vitality in so long resisting the program of the fatal disease. The deceased was 51 years old and a native of Scotland. He came to this country when 12 years old and landed at New York. He then went to Baltimore and after remaining there some time went to Mt. Savage, where he was employed in running a stationary engine. He afterward, when but 18 years old, became a locomotive engineer on what is now the Cumberland and Pennsylvania railroad, continuing at this work until the opening of the war, when he enlisted in Company C, Second Maryland, Capt. John H. Huntley, commanding. When the latter officer was promoted to major the deceased was made captain. During the war Capt. Weir saw considerable service. After retiring from the service the deceased located in Cumberland and had been in the saloon and restaurant or hotel business up to the time of his death. He was at one time proprietor of the old Barnum House, (now the Windsor Hotel,) under the name of "Weirs European Hotel." This did not prove a financial success, and in 1877 he gave it up and eventually returned to keeping the Belvidere restaurant, which he had been the proprietor before taking the hotel. In the fall of 1872 he was elected to the legislature on the Republican ticket and served one term. He was of genial disposition and had a large number of friends, especially in the mining region. He was a member of the Masonic Order and of Tyler Post, G. A. R. He was also a member of the Odd Fellows lodge at Mt. Savage. Capt. Weir’s mother was married a second time to a Mr. Wright, of Piedmont, since deceased, and she still resides at Piedmont. She was here some time ago, but was not able, owing to sickness, to be with him when he died. He had one brother, Mr. Thompson Weir, of Mt. Savage, who was here when he died. Several married sisters survive him. One sister, Mrs. Lippincott, is living at Grafton, and another, Mrs. Shearer, is residing in Baltimore. Mrs. Ellen Coonley and Mrs. Elizabeth Gilbert, two sisters, are in Piedmont, and there is also a half brother, George Wright, and a half sister, Lily Wright. Capt. Weir was married to Mary , daughter of Mr. Benjamin Keeg, of Bedford county. She is a sister of Mrs. Dr H. V. Porter and Mrs. J. W. Jones. Mrs. Weir and one daughter, Miss Vollie, survive the deceased. They are greatly distressed at their sad loss, and have the sympathy of numerous friends. Notice of the funeral appears elsewhere.

WELLER, Frederick

SOMERSET, May 17 - About 4.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon Frederick Weller, a well known citizen of this place, died suddenly at his home on West Catherine street from heart failure. Mr. Weller had been ill for several days but his death was unexpected and came as a blow to his friends and family. Mr. Weller was a native of this county. He was about 60 years of age and for many years owned and operated a farm in Somerset township. About ten years ago he sold his farm and purchased a farm in Somerset removing to this place shortly afterward and living here since that time. He is survived by a widow and three children, Charles Weller of Husband, Daniel W. Weller, assistant cashier at the Somerset County National Bank, and Mrs. Norman Trent, whose husband died several years ago and who has been living at home since then. It will be remembered that about 15 years ago, as Mr. Weller was sitting in his home one evening, before he removed to Somerset, a shot was fired by some unknown person, the bullet striking Mr. Weller in the back and inflicting a painful injury, from which he suffered for a long time, the bullet never having been removed. At the time there was considerable excitement over this fact, because M r. Weller had no known enemies, and it was a mystery why anyone should desire to take his life. Mr. Weller was a soldier in the Civil War, was a consistent member of the Lutheran church and was well known throughout the county. He was an excellent citizen and the community will miss him greatly. The funeral arrangements have not yet been completed.

Mr. Welsh, who was 65 years of age, had been for a number of years watchman for the B & O railroad, and was stationed a short distance west of Piedmont, along the river just opposite the pulp mills. It seems that a freight car was being taken down the side-track, next the river that morning and at the time the pulp mill was blowing off the steam from its boilers, which obscured his sight, and he thought the noise he heard was from a train on the south track. The train struck him and a car passed across his body, but did not sever it. He was born in Ireland, but had spent nearly all his life at Piedmont. He is survived by five children, Misses Mary Ellen and Bridget and Messrs. Thomas, James and Joseph, all of whom are single and reside at home. Mr. Welsh spent his life in the service of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and assisted to build the Philadelphia branch. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place Tuesday from St. Peter's Catholic church, Rev. Thos. E. Gallagher officiating.

WELTNER, E. S.

The citizens of Keyser were startled early Tuesday morning when it was announced that E. S. Weltner, engineer of the Keyser Electric Light Plant, had taken his life in his own home, corner Piedmont and Mineral Streets, that morning at five thirty o'clock. Mrs. Weltner was on the first floor preparing breakfast and when it was ready went to the second floor to call Mr. Weltner to the meal; before she reached the top of the stairway, she saw the trail of blood leading to the bathroom where she found the lifeless body of her husband. He had cut his throat with a razor and so deep were the two gashes made that death must have ensued within a very few minutes. He had been talking with his wife on the first floor about ten or fifteen minutes before the lifeless body was found. Mr. Weltner was about 32 years of age. He had been connected with the electric Plant here for several years; was a first class business man and well liked. He came here from Logan, Ohio, and his body was taken to that place Thursday, where he will be buried today. His wife, who survives with three small children, is a daughter of Moses Woltz, of Lancaster, O. He was a member of the Knights of the Mystic Chain Modern Woodmen of America, and Order of Eagles. It had been noticed that Mr. Weltner had been in a depressed mental condition for some time. One of the babies put out an eye during the holidays and that preyed upon his mind, since then he had been threatened with appendicitis and dreaded an operation which his physician told him that he must undergo shortly. The night before the tragedy he was restless and visited the plant several times. He had a revolver which he handled so suspiciously that one of the men took the shells out when he was not watching. The most profound sympathy is felt for his wife.

WERNER, Deena Rena

Asphyxiation was the cause yesterday morning of the death of a Frostburg infant who was pronounced dead on arrival at Miners Hospital, authorities said. Deena Rena Werner, six and a half months old, had caught her head between the mattress and side of her bed, they added. She was a daughter of Ronald J. and Salley E. (Pape) Werner of 50 Oak Street. The child was found by her mother about 11 a.m. Mrs. Werner took the baby in her arm, and attempted to revive the child by mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Mrs. Werner immediately contacted Mrs. Olive Thomas, Center Street, from whom the Werner family rents the home, and ran out into the street with the child. Alexander M. Rowe Jr., owner of the Rowe Home Improvements, Frostburg, who was working nearby, took the two women and the baby to the hospital. Mrs. Werner, concerned for the life of her baby, rushed out of the house without putting on her shoes. When they arrived at the hospital, the child was pronounced dead. An autopsy performed by the deputy county medical examiner's office indicated the child died of axphyxiation. The child was born on July 6, 1966. Besides her parents, she is survived by a brother, Ronald P. Werner, 4, at home, her maternal grandparen ts, Mr. and Mrs. Wilson Pape, Eckhart and her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Myles Werner, Finzel. The body is at the Durst Funeral Home, Frostburg. Services will be conducted at the funeral home tomorrow at 1 p.m. Rev. J. Henry Kersch, assistant pastor of St. Michael's Catholic Church, will officiate. Interment will be in the Finzel Cemetery.

WERNER, Frederick

BORN AT SEIFERS HAUSEN Eight Children Survive - Mrs. George Horchler, of Cumberland, Being One of Them-Leaves 48 Grandchildren and 22 Great-Grandchildren The Rockwood Leader prints the following interesting sketch of the late Frederick Werner, who died at Finzel, Maryland, last Thursday morning at his home near Finzel, and, just across Mason and Dixon's line. Frederick Werner, the eldest of a family of six Werner brothers, who in the early fifties of the century made America their adopted home, died, aged 80 years, 8 months and 20 days. Mr. Werner was born at Seifers Hausen in the district of Rotenburg, Germany. His father was Adam Werner and his mother's maiden name was Annie Catherine Sass. The father of Adam Werner was August Werner. With the rest of a numerous family young Frederick was reared to a life of unusual hardships. He, however, received the thorough schooling of the compulsory education system of Germany up to the age of 14. At the age of 18 he entered upon the three years' military service prescribed by the law of the Fatherland and when, in 1848 war broke out between Germany and Denmark, over the German Danish provinces of Schleswick Holstein, he was in line for real military service. After completing his military service he sailed for America, landing at Baltimore and working his way westward as far as Meyers Mill, now Meyersdale, where in 1852, he got permanent employment with Peter Meyers. Here he was soon joined by his brother, Henry, and together they earned the money required to bring across their parents and their four brothers: George, Christian, Paul and Conrad, all of whom settled down near Meyersdale. Early in life Frederick Werner married Barbara Deist, who died last year. They had 9 children, eight of whom survive: William, Christian and Adam, of Finzel, Md.; Simon, of Meyersdale; Eliza, (Conrad) of New Castle, Pa.: Mary (Steinly) of Finzel, Md., Susan (Shockey) of Deal, and Mrs. Geo. Horchler, of Cumberland. He also leaves 48 grandchildren and 22 great-grandchildren. Mr. Werner was a man of rare good judgment, conservative in his business exploits and universally successful. His plantation near Finzel originally compris ed four 1OO-acre State plots of fine agriculture land, which he later parceled out to his sons. The funeral, which was largely attended, took place at the Greenville township Union church last Saturday, where Rev. Shupe, the Reformed pastor, paid a glowing tribute to the life of the departed.

WERNER, William

William Werner, of Mt. Savage, was found dead yesterday near a path crossing Little Savage Mountain, about three milea from Finzel, Garrett county. Mr. Werner, who lived in Mt. Savage, was employed as foreman of the fire clay mine of the Union Mining Company on Savage Mountain. He spoke of not feeling well while at work Saturday afternoon, and leaving the mining property about 5 o'clock told other workers that he intended going across the mountain to his farm, the Werner home place, near Pocahontas, Pa. There is a path leading across tho mountain from the mine toward Pocahontas. Mr. Werner's family, at Mt. Savago, expected him home Saturday night, but when he did not return, thought he had gone to the farm and would return early Sunday morning. Noting his continued absence Sunday, his family became alarmed and his son, Herbert Werner, and son-in-law. Wm. Norris, went across the mountain to look for him. Shortly before 2 o'clock, the young men came upon the body, lying by the side of the path on top of the mountain. The body was discovered shortly before that by Wm. Baker who lives near the Werner farm and was passing that way. The county officers were notified and the coroner, County Investigator Terrence Boyle and Deputy Sheriff David Mason went to the scene. An investigation showed there were no marks of violence on the body and no evidence of foul play. Mr. Werner's pocketbook, money, watch and other personal effects seemed not to have been disturbed. From the condition of the body and the fact that the weather was slightly above zero on the mountain top Saturday night, the officers opined that death was caused by exposure and freezing. The body was removed to the Durst undertaking establishment in Frostburg to be prepared for burial. Mr. Werner was 42 years old. He was son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Christ ian Werner, of Pocahontas, Pa. He is survived by his widow who was a Miss Bayer (sic, Baer) of Pocahontas, and five children - Mrs. Wm. Norris; Herbert Werner, aged 16 years; Regis, aged 14; Kenneth, aged 10; and Helen, aged 2. He leaves two sisters—Mrs. John Arklin and Mrs. Joseph Clark, and one brother, Simon Werner, all residing at Pocahontas, Pa.

He was descending the hill at Wabash when in some way the front brake came loose, throwing the power on the hind brak e and the lever broke, throwing him under the wagon, the wheel passing over his body, killing him instantly. Dr. J. O. Lantz was called, but too late to see him alive. He was 16 years old and a good, trusty industrious boy. Interment in Queen Point Cemetery, Keyser, Monday. W. H. Kight, was undertaker. The parents have the sympathy of everyone in their bereavement.

WHITEMAN, James Francis

A 37-year-old Lonaconing man was killed instantly yesterday when he was crushed under a farm tractor. Maryland State Police identified the victim as James Francis Whiteman, of Castle Hill, Lonaconing. The accident occurred at 4 p.m. on the farm of Frank Henry Getson, about two miles west of Lonaconing on State Route 657. Police said Whiteman was helping Getson, his brother-in-law, on the farm. He was regularly employed by the Harrison Construction Company of Pittsburgh. James Whiteman, 14, a son of the fatally injured man, was riding on the harrow attached to the rear of the tractor at the time. Tfc.

The Goodwill Volunteer Fire Company sent a rescue truck to the scene and they lifted the tractor from Whiteman's body. Witnesses told Tfc. Dishong that Whiteman apparently froze at the controls when the machine toppled. Whiteman was a son of Simeon Whiteman, Lonaconing, and the late Hattie (Dil fer) Whiteman.

The decased[sic] was born near Midlothian mines, two miles west of Frostburg, in the year 1804. He saw Allegany Co. in its infancy, long before the locomotive ever passed up its valleys. He saw the beginning of our great coal industry and could describe every stage of its development, vividly. He often told the writer of this article that when he first remembered Frostburg, it consisted of two or three houses, but even in that town in later years he saw such men of national prominence as Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson. He was always glad to relate the progress and prosperity of his native county, and would tell of occurrences of seventy years ago with as clear a recollection as if they had only happened within the last week. He was the father of eleven children-- six sons and five daughters, and was father, grandfather and great-grandfather of two hundred and seventy-seven descendents. The remains were interred in the old Porter burying ground near this place, where sleeps many of his relatives and friends who have passed into the great beyond many years before him. Mr.

Winebrenner was one of the greatest hunters in this section of the State. 06 Apr. 1895

Death Probe Discontinued Investigation in the "possible foul play" death of a 60?69? year-old Keyser area man was discontinued yesterday when authorities were told he died of a cerebral hemorrhage apparently resulting from a fall. The victim, Noah Winebrenner, was found unconscious Friday afternoon on the floor of his home near Markwood along Route 50. He died in Potomac Valley Hospital at Keyser. Cpl. O. G. Webley of the West Virginia State Police said Winebrenner had a severe cut on the top of his head, causing authorities to suspect foul play. However, it was determined the elderly man fell against a door frame and was knocked unconscious. Webley assisted Prosecuting Attorney Vernon E.Rankin in the probe. It is not kn own whether the hemorrhage resulted from the cut. Dorothy Grimm, 17, and her brother, James, 14, who reside at the Winebrenner residence, made the discovery after they returned home from Keyser High and New Creek Elementary schools, respectively, Friday. The summoned a neighbor who telephoned for an ambulance.

WINKLER, George

Interesting News Notes of the Day ~ MR. GEO. WINKLER DEAD. Passes Away at His Home In Barton. Lonaconing, Md., April 7. George Winkler died at his home in Barton Wednesday night at 9:45. Mr. Winkler had been an invalid several years, but had been able to get about until about two weeks ago. He was a native of the province of Hesse Darmstadt, Germany, and came to this country in the early '60s. He lived in Newark, N. J., a short time and came to George's Creek in 1864. He lived in Lonaconing several years and spent some time in Piedmont. He returned to Germany for a brief visit and while there married Madeline Hohing, who is a sister to the late Conrad Hohing, of Lonaconing. Mrs. Winkler survives her husband, but is very feeble. Mr. Winkler leaves his sons, Adolph, August, Otto, Joseph and Edward, and one unmarried daughter, Miss Teresa. All these reside in Barton. George Winkler learned the locksmith's trade in Germany, and worked at it for several years after coming to this country. After coming to George's Creek he became a mine blacksmith and worked many years at the old Barton mine. Although always a working man, he acquired a thorough education, and was considered one of the best scholars in this region. He had a wonderfully retentive memory, and being a greedy reader, he kept well posted on all subjects of public interest. The funeral will take place from St. Gabriel's Church.

WOLFE, Lewis W.

Over Exertion On Fishing Trip Fatal to Lewis W. Wolfe ~ Veteran of Civil War and B. & O. Service, Dies at age of 86. Attended S.

Mr. Wolfe was taken ill Sunday evening, April 17. Friday, April 15, marked the opening of the trout season and Mr. Wolfe, all his life an ardent angler, went on a fishing excursion to Bear Run. He came home in the evening and decided to make another visit to the stream Saturday. The exertion proved too much for a man of his years and he collapsed and had been bedfast since. He would rally at times but very little hope was entertained for his recovery. He suffered a sinking spell on Saturday night but later a slight improvement was noticed in ihis condition. Heart failure was the immediate cause of his death. Up until his late illness Mr. Wolfe had enjoyed good health and was unusually active for a man of his advanced years.

Mr. Wolfe came to Connellsville from Graton, W. Va., about 48 years ago and shortly afterward was made superintendent of water stations of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which position he held until 10 years ago, when he retired. Mr. Wolfe married Miss Malinda Casteel who died in 1905. He was a devout member of the First Presbyterian church for many years and was an active worker in various organizations for the church. He was an elder for 40 years, holding the office at the time of his death. He was a regular attendent at Sunday school for 76 years, teaching a class of boys. He was present on the Sunday he was taken ill. Mr. Wolfe was a member of the Masonic lodge of Grafton, W. Va. At various times he had held offices in William F. Kurtz Post and declined the nomination for an office at the last regular election of the post. In politics Mr. Wolfe was a staunch Republican and at the time of his death was assessor of the Fifth ward. Surviving are the following children: Miss Ida Wolfe, at home; Mrs. J. L. Kurtz, Connellsville; Mrs. Robert H. Craig, Pittsburg, and Harry C. Wolfe, Petersburg, Va.; one brother, Josia h Wolfe, Cranesville, W. Va.; two sisters, Mrs. Julia Lewis, Oakland, Md., and Mrs. Lydia Falkner, of near Hazelton, Pa.; seven grandchildren and four great grand-children also survive.

SON WAS SAVED ~ FATHER DROWNED ~ W. W. Wotring Lost His Life Trying To Save His Boy ~ Father Couldn't Swim This afternoon while two of Mr. Wotring's little sons were bathing one of them got beyond his depth, Father Drowned. There was an extremely sad drowning accident at two o'clock this afternoon in the Potomac River at Sandy Bottom, opposite Evitt's Creek aqueduct, a father having drowned trying to save his little son. It appears that Earl and Carl, two little sons of W. W. Wotring, who conducted a little store on Race Street in South Cumberland, were in the river bathing, while the father of the boys was seated on the bank of the river watching them. It happened that Carl got into water over his head. Mr. Wotring, who could not swim, but fearing his little son would drown, started to wade to where his son was struggling in the water, when all at once the father slipped into water over his head. In the mean time H. S. Wotring, a B & O yard brakeman, at Keyser, who happened to be near, and witnessing what was taking place, went to the rescue of the drowning father and son and while he succeeded in saving the boy, the father drowned before his brother could return from placing the boy on the bank. At a late hour this afternoon the body of the drowned man had not been recov ered. He leaves a family of five children and a wife and was 38 years of age. The accident caused considerable excitement as the drowned man was highly respected. Body Recovered Later- The body has been recovered. It was taken in charge by Undertaker Stein and will be removed to the morgue. The wife is said to be nearly prostrated from the shock.
