Does anyone have any information about where to right for hospital records for Mayview? Thank you Terry
Richard, I checked my files and I do not have a death notice for John Huebner, sorry. Where did he live before he went to the County Home at Bridgeville (Mayview)? Maybe there would be a notice for his death there. I looked at a death Cert. for my great Aunt who died in 1935, it lists the cemetery and the funeral home, you might want to try the funeral home. I know there is someplace where you can get information from the hospital but right now I cannot find the address, maybe someone else on the list might have it. Hope this haleps, even alittle Terry

COLTMAN, RIFLEY, BROOKS Died on Wednesday, September 15, 1920, at 10 a.m. at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ben FLEMING, in East McKeesport, Pa., Mrs. Anna IRVINE COLTMAN, aged 66 years; formerly of Sturgeon and McDonald. Dr. W. D. IRONS of McDonald conducted the service, which was held at the home of her sister, Mrs. William GARDNER, in McDonald on September 18th. Interment was in Robinson Run cemetery, Sturgeon, Pa. We extend thanks to all who so kindly assisted us in this time of bereavement, in the loss of our dear mother. (signed) The Children Kathleen Mildred RIFLEY died at hr home out the Venice road at 6:10 a.m., Saturday, October 9, 1920, after seven weeks' illness following an operation for appendicitis. She would have attained her eighteenth birthday, October 23d. She was born in the South side, McDonald, and attended South side school. She was the daughter of Albert and Lyda LEWIS RIFLEY. Besides her parents she leaves two half sisters, Mrs. Clarence BISH of McDonald and Mrs. Elmer LEONARD of Pittsburgh, two full sisters, Sara and Edna RIFLEY, and one brother, Jacob. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon in charge of the Rev. W. D. IRONS, D. D. Interment was in Robinson's Run cemetery. One of these rare characters, a man without an enemy, passed on to the future life at 7:20 a.m. Wednesday, September the twenty-second, 1920, when D. Smith BROOKS died at the home of his son, Kerr BROOKS, south of Belle Center. He had been in poor health for some weeks past and was under the care of a physician but the announcement of his death came as a great surprise to his army of friends. Mr. BROOKS was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Christopher BROOKS and was born in Stokes township on January 7, 1848. In early life the family located on a farm south of Belle Center and he enrolled as a student in the old Northwood college. In early life Mr. BROOKS united with the United Presbyterian church and was superintendent of the Sabbath school at Northwood and later at Huntsville for about 35 years, having but recently given the work into the hands of a younger man. He was married to Mattie DUNLAP in 1869 and to them three sons were born, the Rev. Guy S. BROOKS of McDonald, Pa., and Kerr BROOKS, south of town. The other son died a few years ago in Arizona. The faithful wife passed to her reward about four years ago. For 18 years Mr. BROOKS wrote the Huntsville news for the Herald-Voice and he was faithful in that just as in all his other obligations of life. But very few weeks in all that time did he fail to have his newsy letter in the office on the dot and never did he writhe anything but good of any man or woman. The weekly routine in the office will be changed now as certain hours each week were held in reserve for his letter. He was a man who thought nothing but good of his fellow man and always had a hearty handshake and a cheery word for every person with whom he came in contact. His greatest pleasure was in helping others and his death brings real sorrow into many hearts in all of northern Logan county. Truly, he was one of God's noblemen. The funeral was one of the largest ever known in the community, a mute tribute of the high esteem in which he was held. The bank of which he was vice president and all other business places were closed. There was an unusually large number of floral tributes, which came not only from nearby neighbors and friends but from organizations all over the county. A most impressive service was conducted in the church of Friday afternoon, in which five ministers took part, remarks being made by his pastors, the Rev. W. H. HEMPHILL, the Rev. J. H. T. GORDON an the Rev. R. R. HARGROVE.-Herald-Voice, Belle Center, Ohio
