CARTER, THILMONT, MCCARTHY, RUSSELL, COBURN, IRONS William H. CARTER died at the County Home at Arden on Sunday evening, March 11, 1917, at five o'clock. For the last six years Mr. CARTER has been unable to walk and had been wheeled around in a chair and for the past two years was lifted and carried about. A son of John and Ellen CARTER, Mr. CARTER was born near Hickory, August 15, 18*6. He married Miss Margaret WHITE about thirty years ago. She died eight months ago. To this union were born three children, one daughter and two sons, all of whom survive. They are Mrs. Hazel BABLE of near Burgettstown; Clyde and James CARTER of Pittsburgh. His widowed mother, Mrs. Carter, also survives at Garden City, Kansas. One sister, Mrs. Ada KEMPS of Garden City, as well as a brother R. T. CARTER of Hickory, also survive.

After coming to town Mr. CARTER embarked in the business of buying and selling cattle but abandoned it after an unsuccessful venture, which netted him a considerable loan. In 1905 he, in partnership with William GUNST, opened a billiard parlor and bowling alley in Washington, Pa. Failing health soon caused him to dispose of his interest in the firm and he returned to McDonald. He was well known in Washington, Mt. Pleasant township and had many friends in McDonald. He was a member of the First United Presbyterian church of McDonald. Funeral services were held at the Hopper mortuary in Canonsburg on Tuesday afternoon, in charge of the Rev. W. D. IRONS, D. D. Interment was made in Oak springs cemetery at Canonsburg where Mrs. CARTER is buried. Mrs. Nathile Isabella THILMONT, aged 73 years, wife of Martin J. THILMONT died at her home at Cecil on Thursday March 8, 1917, following an illness of several months.

Though he had been ill a few days his death was sudden. Mr. MCCARTHY was born in County Cork, Ireland, and came to the United States about forty years ago and located in Butler county. He came to McDonald about twenty-four years ago at the time of the oil excitement, and worked as a tank builder in the oil field. He retired from active occupation about twelve years ago. He is survived by his wife, one son and one daughter, Edward MCCARTHY of Los Angeles, Calif., and Minnie, the wife of J. J. CONNER of McDonald.

COBURN, at her home, 138 South Eighth street, Steubenville, Ohio, on Friday evening, March 9, 1917, at 11:30 o'clock, came as a crushing blow to her family and friends. Mrs. COBURN had been in her usual health and had visited for a while during the evening with her daughter, Mrs. CASWELL, and chatted with friends on her way home. She was seized with neuralgia of the heart shortly after she arrived home, and passed away. Mrs. COBURN was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Patrick HUGHES and was born at Holidays Cove, W. Va., sixty years ago. She married John R. COBURN and had made her home in Steubenville during the greater part of her life. Her unexpected death in the fullness of health and an active life of usefulness is keenly felt by her family, who lose a beloved mother, and friends who lose a kind, helpful friend, one who was always willing and helpful in times of sickness or distress. She lived the life of a Christian woman and has left an impress upon the neighborhood in which she lived. She was a devout member of the Holy Name church and faithful in her attendance upon all services.

She was faithful to her Master, consistent in her living and active in every good word and work for the advancement of the kingdom of God. She labored well and now rests from her labors and her works do follow her.

Oldest Citizens The oldest citizens of the valley are probably Messrs. S. S. JOHNS, J. R. MCCAUSLAND, and Thomas TRIMMER, of McDonald, James MCEWEN and David COUCH of Sturgeon, and H. H. WHITMORE of Oakdale, all being near, or past eighty years of age. Of these Mr. JOHNS and Mr. WHITMORE enjoy the best degree of health, being abroad on the streets regularly. Mr. MCCAUSLAND and Mr. TRIMMER are somewhat lamed, the former by rheumatism and the latter by an operation performed for gangrene in the foot a couple of years since. Mr. MCEWEN recently had an amputation performed on account of a gangrenous affection of the foot, his limb being taken off above the knee. He is recovering as well as could be expected. Mr. COUCH, although confined to his room, enjoys fairly good health for one of his age.---Oakdale Times The Times man in summing up the old men of the valley has overlooked one who is older than any of those named. That man is John MUNN, of Third street, father of Mrs. D. R. MCNARY. On January 1st, 1903 he will be 89 years old, which is five years older than any of those the Times man has enumerated.

MOORHEAD The many friends of Squire W. B. MOORHEAD will regretfully learn of his demise this Friday morning. For the past year his health has been failing, and notwithstanding his advanced years, his demise came as a sudden blow to the community. 'Squire, as he was familiarly called by his host of friends, was born and raised on the old MOORHEAD homestead, one mile south of McDonald. He was educated in the public schools, afterwards taking a collegiate course in Muskingum college, at New Concord, O. In 1871 he was married to Miss Margaret JOHNSTON, at the JOHNSTON homestead, which still stands, and on the farm of which the town of McDonald is built. In 1895 they removed from the old homestead to their new residence on West Lincoln avenue. Mr. MOORHEAD early in life united with the Robinson Run U. P. church, afterwards leaving it to assist in the organization of the First U. P. church of McDonald, which he many years served as a trustee. He has been a director of the First National Bank since the organization of that institution. He was 77 years old last Tuesday, all of which he spent in and near McDonald, and he was known and liked by all. Deceased is survived by his wife, one daughter and three sons, Mrs. Dr. W. A. LAROSS, Mel, a prominent business man of McDonald; Tolbert, a dentist in Whittier, Cal.; R. J., an attorney of Philadelphia. Funeral services from the late residence on West Lincoln, Monday Nov. 24th, at 1 o'clock. Interment private.

I'm trying to find some information about Austin C. Wooster. He was a local painter of still lifes, portraits, and landscapes. He lived from 1837 to 1916. He actually lived in Greentree, but his P.O. was Carnegie for part of the time. And I'm sure he did some paintings around the Carnegie area. I'm interested in anything about him, his family, or his work. If anyone comes across anything in any of the Carnegie newspapers I'd appreciate it if you would keep me in mind. His date of death was February 22, 1916. Thanks, Janice

She had been ailing with throat trouble for some time and moved from her home near Oakdale to that of her mother, that she could be near medical treatment. About 10 o'clock Thursday evening she took a turn for the worse and before her husband could reach her bedside she died. The funeral service will be held on Monday by Rev. H. M. CARNAHAN. Interment will be at Arlington cemetery. She is survived by her husband and four children and her mother and four sisters and two brothers.

Committed Suicide Adolph BORZEE, a Frenchman living at Sturgeon, last Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock committed suicide by throwing himself under the engine of a rapidly moving coal train on the Panhandle railroad. He was cut to pieces. A short time before he had tried to kill himself by cutting his throat twice with a razor. The wounds inflicted in his neck did not reach the jugular vein and it is thought he lost courage to end his existence that way. Tieing (sic) a towel around his neck, he went to the railroad, and when the train came along threw himself in front of it. The remains were placed on a train and taken to the undertaking establishment of J. STEEL at Carnegie. Late that evening friends notified the undertaker they would take charge of the remains. BORZEE was 55 years old and single. He had one brother in this country. He worked in the Laurel Hill mine of the Pittsburg Coal Company. He is said to have been drinking hard and it is thought he was suffering from temporary insanity.
