    3. COLLER, VIRTUE, MCCLELLAND, HEADLEE, SUTTON, MALONE, MCCAUSLAND, FLEMING Mar. 8, 1928 McDonald PA Outlook Mr. and Mrs. B. M. HOPPER attended the funeral of Joel Ellsworth COLLER yesterday at the W. H. WOOD, Co, Pittsburgh. Mr. COLLER died suddenly in Los Angeles on last Wednesday. He was the husband of Clara LEOPOLD COLLER. Irene VIRTUE, aged 7 years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Guy VIRTUE, of north of Oakdale, died Saturday morning, March 3, 1928, at two o'clock in the Children's hospital, with spinal meningitis. Funeral services were held Tuesday afternoon at the home of her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert VIRTUE. Rev. J. Melvin KEYS conducted the service. Interment was in the Oakdale cemetery. She is survived by her parents, one brother and one sister. Grant MCCLELLAND, aged 61, died at seven o'clock on Saturday morning, March 3, 1928 in his home at Noblestown, after an illness of one week with heart trouble. Death has visited the Noblestown community again for the fourth time in eleven weeks-the Rev. Dr. W. C. WEAVER on Saturday, November 27, Patrick MCLAUGHLIN on Sunday, November 18, George SUDEKIM on Sunday, February 19, and Grant MCCLELLAND on Saturday, March 3. Mr. MCCLELLAND had been in failing health for some months past, but had continued to work as janitor of the M. E. church, which office he had faithfully performed during the past few years. He was also known by his work at the loom. None, it seems could weave carpets and rugs as he, and, consequently, he had more work than he could do. Mr. MCCLELLAND was a lifelong resident of Noblestown, born July 6, 1867, in the old homestead, moving to his present home when he was nine months old. He was a descendant of the VALLANDINGHAMs of historical fame, and one of the early settlers of Noblestown. Funeral services were held Monday afternoon, March 5, at two o'clock in the Noblestown U. P. church, in which church he was baptized, and where he united in membership when a young lad. He had faithfully attended the services here and for some time was janitor of this church, also. Services were conducted by a former pastor, the Rev. A. J. CALVIN, of New Galilee, Pa., and the Rev. Dr. HOOD, now stated supply at this church. The esteem in which Mr. MCCLELLAND was held was shown by the large attendance at the funeral services. Dr. CALVIN's text was Matt. 25: 23. Dr. CALVIN spoke of the great affliction that had befallen Grand when only five years old, when through an illness of scarlet fever he was deprived of his hearing. Music was rendered by members of the U. P. and M. E. church choirs. The sadness of this service was made deeper by the sudden death on Sunday of a niece, Mrs. Susan ALLISON SUTTON, which occurred in a Pittsburgh hospital. Mrs. Richard ALLISON and daughter Bessie and son Ralph were called from the MCCLELLAND home to the hospital, arriving there about a half an hour before Mrs. SUTTON passed away. Mrs. ALLISON was unable to be present at the funeral of her brother. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to these bereaved. An impressive incident has been noted by Miss Marietta MCCLELLAND, who has cared for her brother for many years. Just a few days before he was taken ill, Mr. MCCLELLAND expressed a desire to see his niece and wished that she might visit them, wondering if she knew that he was ill. After a period of thinking, he suddenly asked his sister, "I wonder if I shall meet Susie in Heaven?" Neither of them were then supposed so near the journey's end. Mrs. Martha ALLISON of McDonald and Miss Marietta MCCLELLAND are the only surviving members of his family. Rev. David L. HEADLEE, aged 55 years, member of a prominent Greene county family and widely known in Washington county where he served many years as a Methodist Episcopal minister, was asphyxiated by carbon monoxide fumes while working on his automobile in his garage at Homer City, near Indiana, Wednesday morning, March 7. Closing the door of the garage because of the morning chill, Rev. Mr. HEADLEE started to work on the engine and presumably was testing it when overcome by the fumes. His body was found about noon. Born and reared in Green county, Mr. HEADLEE was a son of W. G. and Mary J. HEADLEE, of near Mt. Morris. After attending the public schools, he enrolled at Waynesburg college and graduated from that institution. For the last 27 years, Mr. HEADLEE had been actively engaged in the ministry. He had held charges at Midway, Nineveh, Scenery Hill, Wilson, Bellevernon, Venetia, and South Fork. Previous to assuming the pastorate of the Homer City church two years ago, Mr. HEADLEE was located at Bellevernon. Mrs. HEADLEE, who was formerly Miss Ruth WILLIAMS, of near Monongahela, survives with four children: Miss May, a teacher at Homer City; Miss Esther, a student at Indiana Normal school, and James and Thomas, both at home. Five brothers and three sisters survive. They are: W. W. HEADLEE, of Waynesburg; Misses Resa and Ella HEADLEE of Columbus, O.; J. N. HEADLEE, Toledo, O.; Benson HEADLEE of Pataskala; Eli HEADLEE, of Mt. MORRIS; O. A. HEADLEE, Spraggs, and Mrs. Walter DULANEY, of Mt. MORRIS. Mrs. Susan ALLISON SUTTON, wife of S. Howard SUTTON, of 911 Brodhead road, Woodlawn, (Aliquippa) passed away Sunday evening at nine o'clock in the West Penn hospital, Pittsburgh due to an illness of diabetes. Mrs. SUTTON was born in McDonald May 22, 1889, and attended the local schools, graduating from the McDonald High school in 1905. She later completed her education in the California State Normal school and the University of Pittsburgh. Se was united in marriage June 21, 1817. She also taught for a number of years in the Laurel hill school.

Besides her husband, she leaves two children; Ralph, aged eight; and Martha, aged five; also her mother, Mrs. J. D. ALLISON, a brother, Ralph, and a sister, Bess, all of McDonald. Funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon, conducted by her pastor, Rev. John R. THOMPSON, of Mt. Carmel church, of which she was a member, assisted by her cousin, Rev. Milton M. ALLISON, of Wellsburg. Samuel MALONE, four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald B. MALONE of Midway, died in the Canonsburg hospital on Wednesday, March 7, at one o'clock of double pneumonia. He was taken ill about two weeks ago with bealing ears and on Monday was removed to the Canonsburg hospital, where he died on Wednesday. Samuel will be missed by all who knew him, being one of the favorite children of the Midway community. The funeral services will be held from his late home on Friday afternoon at two o'clock, with interment in the Center cemetery. John A. MCCAUSLAND, aged 71, died at his home in Arabella street Wednesday morning, March 7, 1928, at 4:30 o'clock. Mr. MCCAUSLAND became ill with grippe on Tuesday of last week and towards the latter part of the week pneumonia developed and he gradually became worse until his death. Mr. MCCAUSLAND was born on a farm near Bakerstown February 20, 1857. Four years later, the family moved to Pittsburgh, where he remained until he came to McDonald forty-two years ago. He received his schooling in the Allegheny public schools. Mr. MCCAUSLAND was twice married. His first wife, Mrs. Nancy MONTGOMERY MCCAUSLAND, died in 1883. To this union four children were born, two of whom died in infancy. V. Roy MCCAUSLAND of Corliss and Karl V. MCCAUSLAND of Buffalo survive. In 1901, he was remarried to Miss Laura Andrews, and to this union one child, Miss Ila MCCAUSLAND, was born. Miss MCCAUSLAND is a teacher in the public schools of McDonald. Besides his wife and three children, Mr. MCCAUSLAND is survived by eight grandchildren, four of whom are daughters of Mr. and Mrs. Karl MCCAUSLAND, and the other four sons of Mr. and Roy MCCAUSLAND. Mr. MCCAUSLAND had been active in the civic affairs of the community since coming to McDonald. He was a member of the school board when the present grade building was erected in 1895, and has been connected with this body ever since, acting as secretary for a number of years. He has served the borough as tax collector for the past twenty-five years, all of which he has done faithfully and well. After coming here, he followed the baking business with T. M. DOUGLASS. Later, he became associated with the late Thomas WILLIAMS in the furniture business, and at that time began the wall papering line which he has since followed. Mr. MCCAUSLAND had always been a faithful worker in the United Presbyterian church of this place. For many years he had been an elder and clerk of the session. He was an honest and upright man and always had the best interests of the community at heart. McDonald and the surrounding vicinity will keenly feel the effects of his sudden demise. Funeral services will be held in the First Presbyterian church Friday afternoon at two thirty o'clock, in charge of the Rev. W. R. MCMUNN, of Oakdale.
