Motor Cycle and Auto in Collision John MCKEE, Aged 18, Dies of Injuries When Machines Meet on Noblestown Road, Saturday. John MCKEE aged 18 years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles MCKEE, of Fanny street, died Saturday night at the Presbyterian hospital, Pittsburg, as a result of injuries sustained in a collision about 4:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon with a machine driven by Dr. W. B. DENNY, of Oakdale. The accident occurred on the McDonald-Oakdale road, one and a half miles east of McDonald. John was riding his motorcycle toward Oakdale and at the point where the street car tracks run parallel to the road, the fatal collision took place MCKEE, who was following a car, attempted to pass it and on coming out on the road behind the car, met Dr. DENNY driving in the opposite direction. The young man made a frantic effort to avoid the collision and succeeded in missing the automobile with his motorcycle, but the fender of the car struck him on the leg, throwing him to the ground. He was immediately taken to the hospital. The young man was a member of the Robinson Run United Presbyterian church. Besides his parents, he leaves seven brothers and sisters, all of whom are at home. Funeral services were held at the Robinson Run U. P. church on Monday evening, in charge of Rev. J. H.

A Brutal Murder A Native of Jefferson Township and a Former Burgettstown Hotel Keeper Has His Throat Cut from Ear to Ear at Mansfield At Mansfield Sunday Perrine RITCHIE (sic), who used to keep the Johnston House at Burgettstown, was murdered by James MCKEEVER. His throat was cut from ear to ear with a butcher knife. RITCHIE was about 70 years old and the quarrel arose because of supposed intimacy between RITCHIE's wife who is 38 years old, and MCKEEVER. The murderer escaped. Peter Perrine RICHIE (sic) in 1876 was married to Cinda CASSIDY of Jefferson Township. He made his wedding trip to the centennial and afterwards boarded for about a year at the old Fifth Avenue hotel, in Pittsburg. About 1878, he purchased MCNARY's hotel in Burgettstown, which he ran until 1886 when information was made by Mrs. Lyman EDWARDS against Mrs. RICHEY and her husband (EDWARDS), for adultery. This information was afterwards withdrawn and RICHEY leased his hotel and removed to Allegheny City whence he subsequently removed to Mansfield. EDWARDS was found dead in Ohio about two months since with indications of having met his death by violence. RICHEY was born and raised in Jefferson Township, this county. His wife is also a native of that township.

June 11, 1892 McDonald Record GRAHAM George C. GRAHAM, an oil driller, 28 years old, was killed Friday morning at Oakdale. GRAHAM had just stepped off the eastbound train and was crossing the next track when the west train approached and ran him down. The deceased man lived at Franklin with his parents and sisters. June 18, 1892 McDonald Record A Shocking Record The Pittsburgh Commercial, noting the recent killing of George GRAHAM on the railroad near Oakdale, says: The death list on the Panhandle railroad between McDonald and Oakdale is increasing rapidly. Since the opening of the McDonald field there is scarcely a rail between the two points that has not been smeared with the blood and brains of some unfortunate victim who has been run down and had the life crushed out of him. It has been a frequent occurrence for some unfortunate at some of the stations to step from a train to be dashed to death by another that went flying by with lightning speed. The latest unfortunate victim was a driller named George GRAHAM, aged 28 years. His home was at Franklin, Venango county. He came to the McDonald field shortly after it opened. GRAHAM was a man of exemplary habits and was engaged to be married to an estimable young lady of Mt. Morris, Pa., on the first of next month. The coroner's records show that within the past twelve months there have been fifty-one persons meet death on this short stretch of road.

       I received a microfilmed front page Pittsburgh Press article, dated 6 December 1917, detailing a chemical disaster at the Aetna Chemical Plant in Heidelberg on 5 December 1917, but find between 1916 and 1918, there are references to several disasters in the TNT department of this plant.  Could there have been that many explosions with deaths at the same plant in that period of time?  The article has been posted at the Disasters link on the Carnegie Website.  Any help sorting this out will be very appreciated.         My particular interest in this disaster is the death of Ellis LEA, husband of a cousin, Beatrice NORRIS Lea Bryan.       Betsy (Norris) Banzen       Venice, FL

Someone has asked me, but I don't know the answer.........thanks to all of you for any help you can give. Sandy

Can anyone tell me if they have ever heard of a cemetery around the early 1800's that was called SOUTH FAYETTE CEMETERY? I don't know of one myself, but the name could have been changed. Where could this be located, and is there a list of burials anywhere? Thanks to you all for your help, Sandy
