    3. SMITH, HAWLEY, STONE, MERRIMAN, MCKEESICK Feb. 6, 1892 McDonald PA Outlook Mostly ripped away: Apparently the mother of Mrs. HAWLEY also died, her last name was SMITH, and it looks as though the first name might have been Sarah. She was buried at Burgettstown. She is listed as mother-in-law of Mr. John B. HAWLEY, who is listed as deceased in the next obit. Could he have also died at this time? (From another issue, Mr. HAWLEY's death apparently occurred sometime in January 1892.) On February 2d, after a very brief illness-- pneumonia and nervous prostration --Mrs. Mary HAWLEY, widow of the deceased John B. HAWLEY and daughter of Mrs. SMITH, died. The interment was at Burgettstown. This family in the fall moved from one of Miss Maggie LINDSEY's home on Barr street to Burgettstown. Mr. HAWLEY was a section boss on the railroad at Burgettstown. J. A. SMITH, section boss this place is a son of the deceased Mrs. SMITH. Another son is W. W. SMITH, married and living in Mansfield, and a railroad man. O. W. SMITH, married and living at Dinsmore and a section boss is a son of Mrs. SMITH. Mrs. SMITH was a native of Carroll county, O. Her husband, John M. SMITH, died her in McDonald about four years ago. He was formerly well known as a stage driver between Pittsburg and Steubenville. The family has lived hereabouts for at least 20 years and all of its members are much respected. A host of friends sympathize with those of them who are left to morn such extraordinary loss. Ms. GOULD, of Steubenville, an elderly lady, as sister of Mrs. SMITH, while attending the funeral of Mrs. HAWLEY, fell on the ice and had an arm broken. Mr. Edward POOLER recently attended the funeral of his only sister, Mrs. Maria STONE, at Detroit. Mr. P. has one brother living, Wm. POOLER, who resides in Clearfield county. Frank MERRIMAN, telegraph operator at Crafton, recently died very suddenly. His wife was a Catholic and he was buried by some American Mechanics in the Catholic burying ground, a Presbyterian, Rev. Mr. HILL, conducting services at the house and the grave. On account of these proceeding there is much dissatisfaction all around, and the body was ordered to be removed by the cemetery authorities. Deceased was a son of Major MERRIMAN, of Canonsburg. David MCKEESICK, a tool dresser who boarded at John HOPE's, near Millers Crossing, was killed this side of Rend's tipple by the west-bound Wheeling express Saturday night. Was coming to town to get some paper to write letters. $27 was found on the body. One of his sisters is the wife of S. P. HUNT, a Washington liveryman. The railroad company ought to put up sign boards down there reading, "A man killed her nearly every day. Keep off the tracks."
