KUIN, TRAUTMANN, CRISS, BOWSER, SYKES Anton KUIN died Monday, May 17th, at 3:30 o'clock, at the home of his daughter, Mrs. William HALL, in Washington street, aged 97 years and three months. Death was due to old age. He passed away without suffering pain, and his last illness was a gradual enfeebling of bodily powers. He slept from 10 o'clock the evening before his death until the hour when life was no more. Anton KUIN was born February 14, 1818, near Amsterdam, Holland, and immigrated to America in 1852--sixty-three years ago. Mr. KUIN, when a lad of twelve, began keeping books for his father, who was a wheelwright. When eighteen years of age he made a cruise with an uncle in search of the North Pole. While out on the water they missed their course and it was many months ere they again saw land. After this event he served nine years in the navy of Holland. During the war between the North and South, Mr. KUIN served on board a man-of-war as ship's carpenter, and is able to recall many interesting events which took place at this time. About fifty years ago he lived in Cincinnati, where he was organist in one of the Catholic churches and also where his only daughter was born. Forty years ago he removed to Steubenville with his family. Here he resided until the death of his wife, which occurred in McDonald in 1894, during a visit she was paying her daughter, Mrs. William HALL. Since that time he has made his home here in McDonald with his daughter, who with her four sons and two daughters are his only surviving relatives. Funeral services, including high mass of Requiem, were held in St. Alphonsus' Church on Wednesday morning. Interment was at Noblestown. Suffering a paralytic stroke, George TRAUTMANN, aged 60 years, died suddenly Saturday morning, May 15th, at 9:30 o'clock, near his home at Cliff Mine, Pa. Mr. TRAUTMANN, apparently in perfect health, accompanied by a neighbor had started out to purchase a horse. About a mile and a half from home they met Willis GRAY near Coraopolis and stopped to talk to him. Mr. TRAUTMANN suddenly leaned over the buggy and his friends discovered that he was dead. George TRAUTMANN was born May 16, 1855, in Germany, the son of Adam and Elizabeth TRAUTMAN (sic). He came to this country when sixteen years of age. Following his marriage to Miss Alwinna SONDAE he purchased a part of the STEWART farm near Cliff Mine, and had since been engaged in farming. Besides his wife he leaves the following children: Mrs. Harry SCHECTER of Pittsburgh, Mrs. John UFFLEMAN of Gayley, and Elizabeth, Alwinna, Kathryn, George, Harry and Bertt (sic) TRAUTMANN, all at home. Two brothers also survive, Jacob TRAUTMANN of McDonald and Best TRAUTMANN of Enlow. Funeral services were held Tuesday, May 18th, at the home in charge of the Rev. Mr. TARNEDD of McKees Rocks, and the pastor of the church at Gayley. Interment was made in Robinson Run cemetery, Sturgeon. William T.

COUCH, KRISS After an illness of several months due to valvular heart trouble, George COUCH, aged 28 years, died about eleven o'clock Tuesday night, March 16th, at the home of his father, George McC. COUCH, at Cherry Valley. George COUCH was born in McDonald and lived here until about eight years ago when the family moved to Cherry Valley. He was unmarried. His father and mother and the following brothers and sisters survive: Hultz of Cherry Valley, Robert and John, Dorthy, Lorene and Ruby at home. He was a cousin of W.S. LOCKHART, clerk of courts of Washington county. At the time of the PEACOCK revival Mr. COUCH signed a card to join the First Presbyterian church of McDonald. The funeral services will be held at the late home this (Friday) morning at 11 o'clock in charge of Rev. J. P. JORDAN of the First Presbyterian church, assisted by the Rev. Mr. SNODGRASS of Cherry Valley. Interment will be in Robinson's Run cemetery. Hanging by a rope under the front porch of his home at Primrose, life extinct, the body of Joseph KRISS, a well-known mine worker, was found by two neighbors, Herman DANCE and George CAGNON, about 6 o'clock Friday morning, March 12. To all appearances KRISS had been dead for several hours. Ill health during the past year is believed to have lead to the tragedy. Several times in the last few months KRISS had threatened to take his life. Thursday he was apparently feeling comparatively well and spent the greater part of the day in McDonald. He did not return in the evening, but he had remained away at night before and no importance was attached to his absence. Friday morning when the son, Frank, was about to leave the house for the mine, he was shocked by the intelligence that the body of his father was hanging by a short rope from a rafter under the high front porch. KRISS was born in Germany about 84 years ago. In his late twenties he came to this country and for the past 35 years had resided in this locality. For a long time he worked in the mines hereabouts and gained a wide circle of friends and acquaintances. For some time past he had led a retired life. He leaves on son, Frank, with whom he made his home, and a daughter, Mrs. Kate GEYSER of Pittsburgh. His wife died about eleven years ago. The funeral services were held at the late home Sunday afternoon at two o'clock. Interment was made in the Midway cemetery.
