O'LAUGHLIN, John ⚰️

A GHASTLY FIND ~ John O'Laughlin Found on the Railroad Tracks Badly Mangled And Dies Shortly Afterward ~ Coroner Jury Summoned John O'Laughlin, an extra brakeman on the West Virginia Central Railroad was found injured in a horrible manner on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks near Patterson Creek last night by Lewis Hoover and David McRory, two railroad men, residing at Keyser, W Va. and who were fishing at Patterson Creek at the time. They were attracted to the spot where they found O'Laughlin by hearing cries for help and were horrified by the scene that met their view. For there on the track lay the man with his stomach torn open and legs badly mashed, asking for help. From what can learned from the men who found O'Laughlin did not like to remove the man, but notified a train dispatcher some miles down the road, who came up and carried O'Laughlin off the tracks. The unfortunate man only lived fifteen minutes after that and the only words he known to spoken is to the effect that he lived in Cumberland.

PATRICK O'ROURKE, 74, EDUCATOR, DEAD Former Principal of State Normal Expires At Frostburg After Long Illness. Frostburg, Md., Oct. 22— The funeral of Patrick O'Rourke, aged 74 years, well known educator and fossil collector, who died yesterday afternoon from old age complications, will be held from St. Michael's Catholic Church on Friday morning at 9 o'clock. Requiem high mass will be celebrated by Rev. Joseph A. Weber, assistant pastor. Burial will be in the church cemetery. Mr. O'Rourke had been ill for some months and early this week his condition became gradually weaker. He died yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock at his home, 83 West Union street. The immediate members of his family were at his bedside. Mr. O'Rourke was born at Washington Hollow, near Eckhart, April 3,1856. He attended school until nine years of age and then sought work in the coal mines. Following study at night by candle light, eager for an education, he passed an examination to teach in the public schools when he was 21. His first school was at Pompey Smash, near Vale Summit. Teaching seven years he decided that he should seek a higher education and attended the Danville Normal College, Danville, Ind., where he received his bachelor's degree and also became highly interested in the study of geology. He started his huge collection of fossils while attending Danville Normal in 1886. From that date up to present time over 5000 fossils were collected, ranging in size from a hickory nut to large stone weighing several hundred pounds. Shortly prior to his death he had planned to bequeath the same to the Maryland Academy of Science, Baltimore. On numerous occasions he had requests to place his collection on exhibition in New York and Washington. Returning to Allegany County he began teaching at Grahamtown public school, later at Hill Street School and was then made assistant superintendent of public schools in the county. He was later made a member of the State Normal School faculty and for one year served as principal of the school rounding up his educational career with 12 years of service at Normal.

Monday from St. Gabriel's Church, where a requiem mass was sung by the Rev. James Quinn. The remains were followed to the grave by a long procession of relatives and friends. Mr. O'Toole served as a teamster in the Union army nearly four years and was with McClellan's army in front of Richmond. He had several narrow escapes from capture. After the war he joined his family in Barton, where he has since been respected as one of its best citizens.

Mr. O'Toole is survived by one daughter, Miss Kathleen - who has been a most devoted muse and companion. The pallbearers were: Thos. Gannon, Theodore George, P. H. Gallagher, Sr., John Bean, Thomas Condon and Martin Cady. Interment was made in St.

OFFNER, Zadock Troxell

While being initiated into the Loyal Order of Moose, at Westernport last Monday night, Zadock Troxell Offner, of Keyser, better known as "Doc" Offner, suffered death from heart trouble when he received a shock from an electric apparatus made use of in the degree. Offner was of Keyser and one of the most popular railroad men in the employ of the B&O. He was strong and apparently possessed of the perfect of health. The electric generator used in the initiation is a small hand affair with dry battery and produces but a slight shock. Its use on a candidate while he is blind-folded, at times produces terror, yet does no physical harm. State's Attorney, Perdue stated that five candidates had been "put through the same course without harm to them before Offner was reached, but when it was applied to Offner, it is said he fell unconscious on the floor and though medical attention was at once given he never regained consciousness and died shortly after midnight. The authorities do not hold the loyal order of Moose responsible. Offner's uncle, Dr. Z. T. Kalbaugh, was at his side ten minutes after he was stricken. Dr. A. B. Kalbaugh and Dr. Wilson were also present. They were unable to revive Offner. Sloan Harner of Keyser was in the hall as was also Offner's chum, Benjamin Sims, who had just finished taking the degree when Offner was brought in. Elmer Crawford and Louis Conrad had just been put through with several others before Sims. Offner was a member of the Ancient Order Knights of the Mystic Chain and of the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. He carried an insurance to the amount of $1,500. He was 21 years old. He is survived by his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Issac H. Offner, of Fairmont, and sisters, Mrs. Mollie Rice and the Misses Catoria, Mattie and Marguerite Offner. Services were held Thursday afternoon at the M E Church, conducted by Rev. Franck H. Havenner. Interment was made in Queen's Point Cemetery. The funeral was largely attended and the floral offerings were profuse.

OSS, George A.

ELK GARDEN - Mr. George A. Oss who was horribly cut with a rapidly running saw and died in a few hours at the Red Bridge on Abram's Creek, Grant Co., was well known here. He attended church and Sunday school frequently at this place while he was operating his mill at Atlantic. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of everyone. He was an earnest Christian, a member of the M. E. Church. His generous nature is shown by the following incident: A young man at his mill was taken down with appendicitis. He was in poor circumstances and Mr. Oss sent him to the hospital for treatment, which was successful, and assumed all expenses. This is but one of his many charitable acts. His many warm friends here were exceedingly shocked on hearing of his sudden death. A good many has been taken away.

OSS, George A.

In an accident, Saturday, November 30, 1912, at his sawmill near Schell, W Va, Mr George A Oss suffered fatal injuries followed in a few hours by death. During the few intervening hours between the calamitous occurrence and the end of life he was not only rational but capable of conversing with his family and advising his wife as to the course most practicable for her in future direction of affairs. After full and clear explanations of his secular appertaining, he calmed himself to meet without dread the waiting messenger. At noon, Tues, Dec 3, 1912, the remains were brought by relatives, accompanied by friends from several states, for funeral observances conducted in the Methodist Episcopal Church by its pastor, the Rev Mr Havenner. At the conclusion of the church rites the body was conveyed for interment in the cemetery south of town. Mr Oss is survived by a widow, four sons and a daughter, none of the children yet grown and by a brother, Mr William Oss of Swanton, Md, with whom, during the major part of his business career, he was associated in the lumber trade. The subject of this mention was born near Frostburg, Allegany Co, Md, thirty-eight years from the 15th day of Jan, 1913. Once when his business was responding to his strict and judicious supervision, a well stocked lumber yard was totally swept away by fire, and later a sawmill with valuable equipment was devoured in flames; but over the ashes and embers of these losses he would rebuild and further extend his growing trade. From the first receipts coming in answer to his brave struggle he used in liberal part of obtain books for information so sorely hidden from him. It had not been his privilege to attend school a single day in his life and every mental and business possession of his had been quarried from the granite rock of a self-imposed toil. He procured and read the best works from thoughtful authors on civil and religious subjects and informed himself from the most modern and useful lexicons and encyclopedias to be had. He was a church member of uncompromising religious convictions.
