HAWKINS, Herbert & W. A. Grover

Two, one of Cumberland, were killed, and a third so badly scalded that he died before he could be removed from the scene, in a collision between a light engine and a runaway string of freight cars on the B&O railroad at Rowlesburg, W. Va., seven miles east of Grafton, early this morning. Engineer Shafferman, of Newburg, instantly killed. Flagman Herbert Hawkins, of Springdale street, Cumberland, taken dead from the wreckage. W. A. Grover, of Newburg, fireman on Shafferman's engine, so badly scalded that he died at 12:40 o'clock, this afternoon. The flesh was literally cooked on Grover's body. The physicians feared to attempt his removal to the Grafton hospital, so he lay near the scene of the wreck until his death. When taken from the wreckage early this morning, physicians said Glover could live but a few minutes, but his wonderful stamina and nerve kept him alive for hours, though he suffered the most intense torments of pain. The three men constitute the crew of engine No. 1838, which was running light, carrying only a caboose. The engine was following a train up the grade, drawn by engines Nos. 1824 and 1844. It is thought that a coupling of the freight broke about 30 cars from the rear. The broken portion of the train did not hold its automatic brake pressure, but started backward down the hill. The crew of the broken freight got to safety, but the men on the following engine had no warning until the runaway cars hurried into them, going at terrific speed. The 30 cars were badly wrecked, the locomotive reduced almost to junk and the tracks seriously damaged. The westbound track was opened at 11:30 o'clock this morning and the eastbound track was cleared at 1:20 this afternoon. A rigid investigation is already being pushed by the railroad. It is the worst wreck the B&O has had on the west end in years. No official report has been filed.

When opposite Hitchens Bros. store, Mr. Scally fell, striking his right side on the car rail. As stated earlier, Mr. Scally had been assisting in the kitchen during the evening and had taken a large carving knife from his home to use, and he had this knife in his right coat pocket, and in falling, the knife entered his right side, inflicting a wound about seven inches deep. After falling, Mr. Scally got to his feet and started to go down the street, when he discovered he had been injured and told his companions he believed he had been cut with the knife.

MURDER AND SUICIDE VERDICT ~ Coroner Renders Decision In Deaths of Sailor and Girl. While no statements would be made by the parents of either Eva Schmidt, 19 years old, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Schmidt, of Eastern avenue, opposite the Oaklawn Cemetery, nor John Sherlock Copper of the same age, a sailor in the Navy, who apparently carried out a suicide pact, Monday evening, it is thought that the opposition to their contemplated marriage on the part of the girl's parents was the motive for the tragedy. After making an investigation, Coroner William T. Riley, of the Central District gave a verdict of death as a result of bullet wound inflicted by John Sherlock Copper, in the case of Miss Schmidt, while in the case of Copper a verdict of death by suicide was given. Coroner Riley deemed an inquest unnecessary. The desire of the two sweethearts, as expressed in the note, "Bury us together, Sherlock and Eva", found several hours after the double suicide, will not be granted. The funeral of Copper will be held tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock from the residence of his parents and will be military in character. Burial will be in Oaklawn Cemetery. The funeral of the girl will be held Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. High Mass will be celebrated at 9 o'clock in Sacred Heart Catholic Church. She wll also be buried in Oaklawn.

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.

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.

SHAFFER, Harvey

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.

SHANNON, Miss Sallie

Rev Emmett B. Druen and Miss Sallie Shannon, both of Springfield W.Va., were drowned in the South Branch last Sun afternoon while attempting to cross at Thompson's Ford, near Springfield. They were on their way to Three Churches where Mr Druen had an appointment to preach at an afternoon service. From there they were to go to Frankfort, where Rev Mr Druen and Rev Mr Smith had been holding a series of meetings, for the Sun evening service. The service was held at Frankfort without Mr Druen. After the service was concluded a telephone message was received from Springfield inquiring if he and Miss Shannon were there, they had expected to go from Three Churches via Springfield, but, as they had not done so, it was thought that they might have gone to Frankfort by another route. They then phoned to Three Churches and learned that they had not reached there for the afternoon service. Their friends then became alarmed and searching parties were sent out. They followed the buggy tracks to the ford, then, crossing the river on a foot suspension bridge, they could see that the horse and buggy had not gone out from the other side of the river. This fact revealed to the anxious friends what had been the sad fate of the young couple. All night long the search was keep up. About noon Mon. the buggy cushion was found on a little island below the ford and later the broken buggy and drowned horse were found wedged against the rocks in the stream about a mile and a half below the ford. Mon. night a short distance below the ford the hat and coat of Miss Shannon were found. Rev Mr Druen was pastor of the Presbyterian churches at Springfield, Three Churches, Frankfort, Eusebia and Burlington and was universally beloved, not only by the members of his own churches, but by all denominations. Miss Shannon was a very attractive and popular young lady. Mr Druen was about thirty-five years old and was a native of Richmond, Va. He had been pastor of the above named churches for about three and one half years, and his tragic death cast a gloom over hundreds of homes. The river had raised about four feet Sat. night rather suddenly and become muddy. Being well acquainted with the ford and being a careful and prudent man it appears strange that Mr Druen did not discover that the stream was too high to cross. He drove past the bridge at Grace Station, which he could have crossed and gone down on the south side of the river, but he evidently preferred going down on the north side and fording the river as the road was better and there were gates across the road on the south side. Mr Druen's brother arrived from Richmond Mon. night while Miss Shannon's aunt, Mrs Shanholtzer and her two daughters and Hon Jno B Shannon, of Frostburg, came to Springfield Mon afternoon. At this writing neither body has been found.

SHANNON, Miss Sallie

SPRINGFIELD Oct. 16, 1911. - Never within the memory of the present generation have the people of Springfield spent so sad and anxious a week as the one just passed. The deaths of Rev E.B.

SHARPLESS, James A.

(abridged) JAMES A SHARPLESS MET SUDDEN DEATH Mr James A Sharpless, one of the most prominent residents of Keyser, met a violent death on last Sunday evening, September 15th, 1907, between five and six o'clock. Early in the afternoon, Mr. Sharpless started for an automobile ride with his friend, H. G. Steorts, accompanied by Mr. Steort's son, who was running the machine, and young ___ ?Oliver, who occupied the front seat beside him. In descending the steep road just beyond the Alkire orchard, the machine had gained a terrific speed, and when Mr. Steorts told his son to check his speed, he replied that the brake refused to work. Just then, they shot around the sharp curve and Mr. Sharpless' hat blew off and he raised up, remarking that his hat was gone and he was going to get out. Mr Steorts told him to sit still and seeing him sit down, raised up to assist the boy in getting control of the machine, and just glanced around in time to see the unfortunate man strike the ground. Mr. Sharpless, no doubt thinking that the auto was running away, opened the rear door of the car and stepped out, and was instantly whirled over, striking the ground on his back and head with terrible force, and turning on his side laid motionless. The automobile was stopped..... (illegible, not able to read next line)..... his son on to town after a doctor. Just then, Miss Emalie Coffroth and a friend came along in a buggy and Mr. Sharpless was put into the buggy and brought home.

Besides other injuries, he had a frightful gash in the back of his head, caused by coming in contact with a stone. He was 64 years of age and lived his whole life in this county. Mr. Sharpless was born and reared on a farm near Elk Garden, where he has a large connection. After having completed his education in the country school at home he graduated from the Fairmont Normal School in 1873, after which he taught the Piedmont graded school eight years, during which time he was elected to the office of the County Superintendent of Schools, and served that capacity faithfully and well for three terms.

Mr. Sharpless took up his residence in Keyser in 1881, and has since been identified with her interests. He had been a prominent of the Methodist Episcopal church for years, and as his pastor said in his eloquent discourse, he was God's friend. Mr Sharpless was an honored member of the board of stewards of his church and also a member of the board of trustees. He belonged to Davis Lodge No 51, A F & A M, which had charge of the funeral; was also a member of New Creek Council NO 241, National Union of Keyser, many of whom attended the funeral in a body.

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. Shimer; and a sister, Mrs. Orville Crowe, both of Frostburg. His father was the late James A. Shimer. The body will be taken to the home in Eckhart.

SHOEMAKER, Abraham D.

Tragedy struck on the crest of the flash flood of the Casselman River, Sunday morning, when Abraham D. Shoemaker, 74, of West Salisbury was engulfed by the flood waters and drowned. Mr. Shoemaker had lived alone for the past two years or more and was not missed until Sunday evening when his neighbors, the Robert Walker family, informed his son, Ray Shoemaker of Springs, that he must be missing. According to the neighbors, Mr. Shoemaker always informed them when he expected to be gone more than a day, and had not done so on this occasion. The son went to his father's home Sunday night, and looked for him and inquired of friends if he had been seen. He received no information on Sunday night, so continued the inquiry on Monday morning, July 5. He discovered that his father had left the home of a friend and former neighbor, Mrs. Emma Spiker in Salisbury at daybreak on July 4 to cross the river to go home. Mr. Shoemaker had been seen in the business section of Salisbury on Saturday evening and was evidently caught in the downpour enroute home. He stopped at Mrs. Spiker's home to wait for the end of the storm, possibly realizing that it was not safe to attempt to cross the river in darkness. This information led to the supposition that Mr. Shoemaker had been drowned and washed downstream in the flood, so the Fire Department was called at 9 a.m. to help conduct a search. Assisted by relatives and other citizens, a wide area of the river bottom was combed and, at one time, firemen were within half a block of the spot where the body was found. The search was discontinued before noon by a number of those originally engaged in it, following reports that Mr. Shoemaker had been seen as late as 4 p.m. Sunday. Throughout the afternoon, however, a number of men continued the search and, at about 6 p.m., most of them gave it up. Mr. Shoemaker's two sons, Ray and Paul, were not satisfied and determined to make one last search through the bottoms. Acting upon information concerning the river current and flood stages furnished by ????? of West Salisbury, an experienced trapper, they started another trip at the end of lower West Salisbury, assisted by two brothers-in-law of Paul, from Meyersdale. Almost immediately, they found the body about 7:30 p.m. Monday. The body was caught over a sapling not over 100 feet from the railroad bridge and not much more than a half-mile from where it is assumed Mr. Shoemaker was engulfed. The body was about four feet off the ground and about 50 feet from the river, which was then about two feet lower than the surrounding ground, and just that much below flood stage. The assumption now is that Mr. Shoemaker followed a path from Depot Street and then either continued on the path diagonally across George Keim's barley field at the foot of Ord Street and down Ord and was swept off the concrete road at the east end of the bridge and into the same field. The barley had been cut and shocked and was all washed away, possibly some of the sheaves having caused Mr. Shoemaker to lose his footing. The body was removed to the Thomas Funeral Home about 9:30 Monday evening, with the permission of Coroner A. M. Uphouse. On Tuesday morning, Mr. Uphouse made his inquiry, rendering a verdict of accidental drowning with the possibility of an accidental fall. Abraham D. Shoemaker was born December 15, 1873, a son of Caroline (Folk) and Daniel D. Shoemaker. He was married in Garrett County, Md., on October 6, 1891, to Miss Sarah Newman, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Newman, with the Rev. I. O. Steelsmith officiating. He was a farmer throughout his manhood until about a year before the death of his wife in 1943, when he retired. He sold his farm near Sullivan's ?, where he first met Mrs. Spiker, who was housekeeper for his good friend and neighbor, the late John Hinebaugh. Mr. Shoemaker is survived by four sons - Clarence of Akron, O.; Ray of Springs; Fred of Akron, and Paul of East McKeesport; by four daughters - Mrs. Lula Dean and Mrs. Margaret Wilhelm of Akron; Mrs. Edna Bowman of Pittsburgh and Mrs. Betty Hecker of East McKeesport; by four brothers - Wilson D. of Wyoming, Del.; Irvin of Grantsville, and Norman and Ellis of Springs; and by 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at his home in West Salisbury at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, July 7, with the Rev. Ira S. Monn officiating. Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in Salisbury in charge of Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.

SHRYER, George F. ⚰️

Sudden Death of Well Known and Worthy Citizen Our community was painfully started yesterday by the unexpected announcement of the death of Mr George F Shryer, an old and respected citizen of Cumberland at his residence on Decatur Street. Mr Shryer attended the services at the First Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning, occupying his accustomed place in the choir, and was out as late on Sunday night as bedtime. Yesterday, we learn, that he was in his usual health and had carefully shaved himself with the intention of going down in the city. Complaining of a pain in the breast a moment after, he sat down on a chair from which he fell and in a few minutes breathed his last. The stroke was evidently apoplectic, with bit little or no premonition of its fatality. Mr. Shryer was sixty-three years of age. At one period of his life he held the position of City Clerk, whose duty he faithfully and intelligently filled. During the past three years he was identified in our city post office as cashier, giving such entire satisfaction in that capacity that a public acknowledgement of his faithfulness was made by the postmaster who expressed reluctance at his resignation. His sudden death, which occurred about half- past ten o'clock yesterday morning, created a sensation of painful surprise among his many friends. He leaves a widow and five children. The funeral will take place from the First Presbyterian Church this evening at three o'clock Find A Grave Memorial# 89494710

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.
