SOURBER, MCELHANY The body of Harry Campbell SOURBER was found early last Friday morning on the railroad track west of McDonald station, cut in two. The unfortunate young man was 17 years and 10 days old. He was an employee of a canning factory in Chillicothe, Ohio, and it is thought that he had come here on a fast train or freight, and in jumping off fell beneath the wheels. Evidently it was his intention to visit his friends here, the family of Squire COOK, with whom he made his home when a child and who had treated him as one of their own. The lad's father died about twelve years ago and the mother, who followed nursing for a livelihood was glad to place the boy in the COOK home. She remained her not quite a year and during that time nursed a man named WILSON who had leprosy. She has since married C. M. BOWMAN of Bellevue, Ohio, where they reside. Recently Mrs. BOWMAN went South for her health and she was in Atlanta, Georgia, when the telegram announcing her son's death reached her. With her husband she came to McDonald on Monday. Mrs. BOWMAN is a sister of Mrs. M. H. KLEIN and Miss Blanche BRESTLE! of our own town. Funeral services over the remains of Harry SOURBER were held Monday afternoon by Rev. Ernest FRYCKLAND. Interment was made in Robinson's Run Cemetery. Mrs. Mary MCELHANY died last Saturday morning at the home of her son Bert. She had not been very well for two or three weeks, but her death was s surprise to her friends as she had been seemingly much worse many times. She was well known in this locality, having lived here most of her life. She was always a friend to everyone, and hers was surely a life spent in serving others. She will be missed by her relatives and friends, but God is just and doeth all things well. *McMinn column
