SCOTT, HARKINS With much sorrow we report the death of Mrs. Bella M. SCOTT, which occurred at her home in Venice about 10:30 a.m. on the 30th ult. She was the wife of E. F. SCOTT, and the daughter of Joseph L. and Isabella RUTA... SCOTT ad grand-daughter of Joseph SCOTT--Uncle Joe--formerly of Mt. Pleasant. She was born in Carroll Co., Ohio, Oct. 29, 1855, and was at the time of her departure a little more than 40 years old. In 1895 (sic), when nearly ten years old, she came with the family to Venice, where she has lived for more than thirty years. On Jan. 7, 1871, when in her 16th year, she made a public profession of her faith in Christ by uniting with the United Presbyterian congregation of Venice and on the following day sat with G... people at the table of the Lord. On Feb. 17, 1881, she was united in marriage with E. F. SCOTT, of Blookfield, Muskingum Co., Ohio. One child, Joseph Marion Wilson, was given to them to cheer and bless their home. He was born April 19, 1882, and will sadly miss his mother's tender care. Bella never enjoyed robust health, and for a number of years had been quite delicate and, but for her marvelous grit and power of will, would have, we believe, succumbed months, perhaps years ago. She was intelligent beyond the ordinary, and, being genial, kind and affable, was an interesting and pleasant companion. She was faithful in all her relations in life--a dutiful, loving and helpful wife, kind and faithful mother and most affectionate daughter. Bella was a home maker. She was also useful in the community and strove to honor her Master by deeds of love and kindness to those around her. She was useful to the Church, in the Sabbath School in which she was a teacher, and in missionary and young peoples societies in which she took and active interest. She was much interested in the Venice church and .... *Remainder missing F. D.

Arlington is now Robinson's Run Cemetery, located on Robinson's Run Road in McDonald, PA. It is actually located in S. Fayette Twp., but has a McDonald address. It was also referred to as the hill cemetery, or Hill in early obits, presumably because it sits on a high hill overlooking the Robinson's Run Valley. Vickie
Where is the Arlington Cemetery mentioned in the recent McDonald paper article posted from 1896? The FOSTER mentioned is mine. THANKS for the posting. annie
KENNEDY, FOSTER Miss Lulu KENNEDY Killed A son and daughter of Mrs. Eliza LINDSEY KENNEDY meet sudden death within a year. The people of Miller's Run Presbyterian congregation, near Venice, will be shocked at the death of Vance RIDDILE, son of one of their old friends, Mrs. Emma THOMPSON RIDDILE--all which is recorded on the first page of this issue. Mrs. Eliza LINDSEY KENNEDY was born and raised on the farm near by the THOMPSON farm, and she and her family were well known for years to all those who attended that church. Her husband is 'Squire KENNEDY and they live in Crafton. About a year ago their son, Will KENNEDY, a promising young man was brought to their home dead--killed in an accident in the Westinghouse works. And now it becomes the painful duty of the printer to give some details respecting the dreadful death of Miss Lulu KENNEDY, who was last Monday killed by a train a short distance above the Birmingham depots, South Side, Pittsburg. On that day, Miss KENNEDY (who was a stenographer in Pittsburg) and a lady friend and a child, of Crafton, were coming home together from the city,and at the Fourth Ave. station they took a wrong train--a P. V. & C. train--and on the South Side, near the junction with the Panhandle, they discovered their mistake, and a brakeman stopped the train and let them off. He told them if they hurried they could get to Birmingham in time to catch the Panhandle train they wanted. The women started to walk up the track. When opposite the Castle Shannon incline, they saw an eastbound passenger train approaching them. They became confused by the network of tracks and cross-over switches and did not know what track the train was on. Her companion and the child stepped onto one track and Miss KENNEDY onto another. An instant later Miss KENNEDY was struck and killed. Her skull was crushed and one foot cut off by the wheels. The body was taken to Birmingham station and a patrol wagon sent for to convey it to the South Side morgue. As the wagon with the corpse was going along Carson St., the horse got frightened at something and ran off and the men who were driving it were seriously injured. Miss KENNEDY was 19 years old. The funeral was on Thursday, the funeral party passing through here on its way to Miller's Run Cemetery, where the interment was. DOUGLASS and ROGERS of this place were the undertakers. (The front page of this paper is missing so I don't have the obit for Vance RIDDILE) Francis FOSTER died at his home on Station St., McDonald, on Saturday, the 25th ult., at 3 a.m. The funeral was on Monday, services were conducted at the Presbyterian church by Rev. Mr. JORDAN, and the interment was at Arlington. Frank FOSTER was 38 years old. He was one of the most popular men ever in the valley, and he was an unusually active and efficient business man. He has been known about McDonald for 15 years or more. For some time he was express agent and he procured free express delivery for the town. Afterwards he went into the real estate and insurance business, and established a good business, which, since he was kept in the house by his illness--consumption--has been managed by Mr. E. B. MCCARY. Mr. FOSTER was married twice, his first wife, who died some years ago, being Laura, daughter of Amos LOVE, Esq., by whom he had two children, only one, "Frank," now living. Within the last two years he was married to Miss Theresa SOLES, of Latrobe, Pa. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church, and also prominent in the Order of Heptasophs. His mother, Mrs. Isabella FOSTER, lives at Venice. His sister Annie is the wife of Cashier G. S. CAMPBELL; his sister Lizzie is Mrs. Lyman MCILHENNY, of Robb Valley; another sister is Mrs. PATTERSON, of Venice; and he has one brother, Ross, of Cleveland, who was recently here to see him. The FOSTER family came to this valley many years ago from Mt. Lebanon near Pittsburg, the head of the house having died when the children were small, and Francis was at first a salesman at the SAUTERS house. It is about a year now since he first took hemorrhage of the lungs, and, while most people expected he could not live long, yet when it ... *Remainder of page missing

HANNA, seven unnamed miners, CHARLIER Last Saturday night at the residence of 'Squire HANNA, on the Miller's Run & McDonald R., a gas explosion occurred which caused the death of a Miss HANNA, a maiden lady aged 50 years, a sister of the 'Squire. The accident was caused by a gum hose which fed a small stove becoming detached during the night and filling the room with gas. The gas exploded by coming in contact with fire in a grate, and burnt the lady to death. Seven men were killed in the mine explosion at the Blanche mine at Collier on Tuesday. The miners all charge the accident to the green Italian miner whom they claim to have warned to be careful in blasting, and they also declare that no more Italians will be allowed to work in the mine. They say that the blast set fire to the gasses, loose coal dirt and other combustible material in the mine and caused the explosion. The body of a man supposed to be the missing Willow Grove man, Frank CHARLIER, was found this week on the railroad track at DENNSION. It was the body of a man about 45 years old and only four feet, four and a half inches in height.
