BERRY, MICHAUX, SVABO, SHERRARD, KUNKLE Matthew BERRY, aged 91 years, father of the late county commissioner, John A. BERRY, died at his home in Cecil township Monday morning after a lingering illness and a decline in health, owing to his age. Matthew BERRY was born in Cecil township January 30, 1823. William Gilmore BERRY, father of Matthew BERRY, came to Washington county in 1796. Matthew BERRY was married to Margaret WILLISON, of Hickory, in April, 1847. To this union three sons were born, two of whom survive, W. G. BERRY, a well known farmer of near Canonsburg, and S. W. BERRY, a farmer living near the old homestead. Following a five weeks' illness caused by the extreme heat, Louis MICHAUX, a well known carpenter of McDonald, died Wednesday. Five weeks ago MICHAUX was at work on the new high school building when he was overcome by the heat. He steadily grew worse until his death. The dead man was 36 years of age. He was a native of Belgium but had resided in McDonald for the past 30 years. He leaves his wife and four children. There also survive his father, Louis MICHAUX, Sr., one brother Frank and one sister, Leona MICHAUX, all of McDonald. Funeral services in charge of the Rev. W. D. IRONS were held at the MICHAUX home on Thursday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Interment was in the Robinson's Run cemetery. Michael SVABO, a Slav living in the mining town of Cherry Valley, about seven miles from here, died Sunday night after a fall from the second story window of his home. SVABO was a somnambulist, but had never met with any dangerous adventures while in that state. Sunday night no one knew he was walking in his sleep and it is not understood what happened before he made the fatal step. Some boarders in the house heard him fall and ran to his assistance, but he was in a dying condition. He died about 15 minutes later. SVABO was 26 years of age and leaves a wife and two children. He was highly esteemed among both the foreigners and Americans of the village. Mass was held for the deceased Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock in St. Peter's and Paul's Roman Catholic church at Cherry Valley. Interment was made in the cemetery adjoining the church. Albert J. SHERRARD, aged 24, a passenger brakeman, was killed here about 3:30 Monday morning. The passenger train stopped at the Jumbo Mine for water. SHERRARD got off the train and was walking toward the rear coaches. He stepped over to the eastbound track and as his own train started, did not hear the approach of another passenger train going east. He was struck and hurled about 20 feet and was killed outright. The dead man was unmarried and is survived by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. G. M. SHERRARD of Newark, Ohio. The body was prepared for burial in McDonald and taken to Newark. The remains of Walter KUNKLE, who was killed so brutally by an Italian at Carnegie last week, were brought here for burial Sunday. The funeral services were conducted in the M. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. E. V. SHOTWELL. Walter was formerly a resident here but of late was residing in Carnegie with his mother and brother George. He was 27 years of age and is survived by his father, who lives in Ohio, his mother and six brothers. He was a nephew of Mrs. George BISH of this place and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. The order of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen attended the services in a body and conducted the services at the Center cemetery. *Midway column
