HI: This site at: http://www.genbay.com/ calls itself a genealogical search site but it is really an interesting entrepreneurial (sp?) business that is collecting any old items with people's names and selling them. For instance - there were no Hinds items but there was this Hanes item which I am posting below. The fifth line has his name. Tell me what you think. I think the family of the fellow that was killed in the mine accident would probably part with $20. for a copy of this sad story. $50. ? Dunno. (I sound like Rudy! ) Regards, Nan List Host - Hinds-L [email protected] ---------------------------------------------------------- HANES A 4-page Wheeling, West Virginia newspaper in VERY GOOD condition dated May 25, 1875; THE WHEELING INTELLIGENCER which contains the following item: MARTIN'S FERRY ITEMS - Mr. Otto Smith and Miss Eva Terry were married on Sunday. L.L. Smith, salesman for the Steel Works, leaves this morning on a business trip through the West. The new time table of the C.& P.R..R., and especially that of the accommodation train, makes it very convenient for those having business between here and Bellaire. L.W. Inglebright and J.T. Hanes leave to-day for Clevland, where they go to attend the Grand Lodge K. of P., which meets there to-morrow. Mr. George R. Jenkins left yesterday for New York and a tour through the Eastern States. He expects to be gone about a month or six weeks. An accident occurred yesterday morning which resulted in the death of Wm. Kalibe, who was employed in hauling out coal at the mines of Henry Helling. He had hauled out a load of coal and was going back for another, and in the entry met and passed a train coming out. Shortly after he had entered a noice was heard by the man coming out, who on going back found that from some cause the entry roof had given way, and that a large quantity of soapstone and dirt had fallen on and completely covered Kalibe, who was riding in the rear car. An alarm was immediately given, but before the unfortunate man could be extricated life was extinct. Upon examination it was found that his ankle and breast bone were broken, and that he was injured about the head, so that it is more than likely that he never knew what hurt him. The deceased was a young German, about twenty-eight or thirty years of age. He had been in this country but a short time, and was married not long since. His funeral will take place from his late residence, near Henry Helling's, this afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment in the Grove. The funeral of Wm. Donovan took place yesterday and was a very large one. The mysterious circumstances attending his being run over by the cars at Moundsville are the topics of general conversation, and his friends are still more determined than ever that he was killed and placed on the railroad to be run over by the cars to cover up the same. The fact that his watch and pocket-book were missing - only fifteen cents having been found - probably justifies them in forming such an opinion, but so far as we can learn there has been no further information gained concerning the case. We are glad to see our genial friend John L. Vanpelt in the Ohio City Bank, as one of the attaches of the same. The necessary survey was made yesterday on Hanover street, preparatory to setting curbstones on that thoroughfare. An attachment was sworn out before James Eagleson, J.P., by August Breidenstein against John Burris, whom he charges with attempting to remove his goods out of the county and leaving a small bill for rent unpaid. Case set for hearing on the 28th of this month. ------------------ Item #: A2165 Want to own the original? $45.00 Want to own a complete COPY of the original? $19.95 FREE SHIPPING on all orders at GenBay!
