Man and 40 Dogs Die as Imperial Kennel Burns Two men were burned, one critically, and 40 of the country's finest hunting dogs were destroyed Monday when fire swept a barn on the Wilson farm near Imperial during the annual field trials of the Coraopolis Beagle club. George GILBERT, the kennel master, believed to have been asleep in the hayloft, was taken to the Allegheny General hospital, where he died Tuesday morning. A carpenter working on the roof of the barn discovered the fire and rescued GILBERT, it was said. The other man injured was C. E. PORTER of Coraopolis, who suffered burns on the hand when he drove his car back from the blazing fire and then assisted in the rescue of 60 or more of the piteously yelping dogs caged in the barn. Dale SUTTON, owner of a New Haven, Ky., kennel, who had entered more than 50 dogs in the trials for himself and wealthy clients, was on of the first to reach the scene from the nearby farmhouse where all the exhibitors were lunching. He and his wife, Mrs. Irene SUTTON, and PORTER, turned loose as many dogs as they could reach before the heat of the flames drove them back. Firemen arrived from Imperial but were unable to save the barn because there was no water supply at hand. Among the wealthy fanciers whose dogs were killed in the blaze was the du Pont family of Delaware.
MONJOT Louis Edward MONJOT, 67, died on Monday evening, December 21, 1928, at 5:30 o'clock, at his home in Valley street, after an illness of only a few days with lobar pneumonia.

He was united in marriage to Miss Rosa SAPPIE in 1889. He was a charter member of the La Solidarite association. Mr. MONJOT was well known and highly esteemed by all who knew him. Besides his wife, he is survived by one son, D. L. MONJOT of Crafton; and two grandchildren. Two brothers, Fred MONJOT of Cleveland, and Adrian MONJOT of Denver, and one sister, Mrs. Paul ROUMANET of France, also survive. Funeral services will be held from his late home Thursday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, in charge of the Rev. Auguste DEVOS. Interment will be in the Center cemetery, Midway.
This state publication might be useful to look up information on those small towns that aren't around anymore. I wonder how long it was published and where the old copies might be, perhaps the state archives? Anyone know if it is still published? The Town of McDonald As Others See It The Pennsylvania Scenic and Historic Commission, in its July 1937 release of "See and Know Pennsylvania", describes McDonald as follows: MCDONALD (Route 980) McDonald is situated in Washington county, 18 miles southwest of Pittsburgh, and just across the Allegheny county line. It is one of the Western Pennsylvania centers for bituminous coal mining. The first million-dollar soft coal washing plant in the United States is located just to the north on Route 22-30. High grade Pennsylvania oil has been produced here since 18**. Near the McDonald homestead (the first McDonald's located here in 1775) is a natural outdoor amphitheater where thousands gather summer evenings. Here one can see simultaneously baseball games, golf, tennis, horse-shoe pitching and other outdoor sports.
