    3. MCCLEAN, ENSIGN, STRONG, ROBINSON, CRAIG, MCCUSTER, MILLER Miss Margaret Elizabeth Allison MCCLEAN died at her home in Noblestown at two o'clock Friday afternoon, March 25, 1927. She was alone when she passed away. A neighbor who had seen her feed her kittens at half past one, found her body on the floor of her bungalow shortly after two o'clock. Miss MCCLEAN had not been well for several years. She was well past the Biblical three score years and ten, most of which she had spent in Noblestown. Miss MCCLEAN was a daughter of William MCCLEAN, who was at one time postmaster and had kept store in Noblestown. By ties of blood she was connected with the oldest families of Western Pennsylvania, and she knew the history of these families as no other person in this community. Her mother died when she was but six years old, and her father married again when she was thirteen. While she was in her teens, going to school, the family resided in the Eastend, Pittsburgh, and she received what at the time was considered a superior education for a girl. Her father outlived his second wife. When they moved back to Noblestown Miss MCCLEAN assisted her father in his store and with the post office. For a number of years she held a position in Horne's store in Pittsburgh. She had the writer's slant, and wrote interestingly and informingly on a variety of topics, and was a frequent contributor to magazines. Her occasional articles in The Record were remarkable for their clarity, and at not time was it ever necessary to change a word or even transpose a comma. She was interested in young people, and knew how to interest them for their own good. Though a lifelong member of the Presbyterian church, and identified with the Oakdale church, she served the Noblestown U. P. Sabbath school as superintendent a number of years. Her interest in people and the community never flagged. For years she fostered a patriotic organization among the young people of the neighborhood, and installed noble ideals in plastic minds. During the World war she took a leading part in the Red Cross and in relief work. Her neighbors speak of her unfailing kindness and helpfulness, and her skill in the sick room. She ennobled life and has left a fragrant memory of kindly deeds. Her friends filled the Oakdale Presbyterian church last Sabbath afternoon, when the pastor, the Rev. Dr. J. E. DETWEILER, conducted the services. Interment was private. Frank RUSK of Valley street has been called to Emporium by the death of his brother-in-law, Date (sic) ENSIGN. Miss Leila STRONG, aged 41 years, died at 2 p.m. Wednesday, March 31, 1927, in the Mercy hospital, Pittsburgh, following an illness of pneumonia.

The following obituary is from the Texaco Star for February. Dr. CULLINAN will be remembered by those who lived in this locality in the early nineties. He practiced medicine in this valley in 1894 and 1895, and had his office in Sturgeon. "Dr. Michael Patrick CULLINAN, president of the Border Gas Company and recognized as a leader in Southwest Texas development, died at his home in Laredo on January 20, 1927. His 62d birthday anniversary had been celebrated the day before. After dinner at his home, Dr. and Mrs. CULLINAN visited a son until near midnight. Several hours after retiring he suddenly became ill, and died of acute indigestion before medical aid could reach him. "The funeral took place Sunday morning, January 23, from the home to St. Peter's Catholic church, and the largest cortege ever gathered in Laredo followed his body to its last resting place. He is survived by his widow, three sons, Joseph CULLINAN and Frank CULLINAN, Laredo business men, and Murta CULLINAN, Notre Dame student; two brothers, J. S. CULLINAN of Houston, president of the American Republic corporation and subsidiary companies, and Frank CULLINAN of Dallas, vice-president of the Republic Production company, and four sisters residing in Pennsylvania and Washington, D. C. "Dr. CULLINAN was born in Shamburg, Pennsylvania, in 1865. He studied medicine, took the M. D. degree, and practiced his profession until an injury to a leg necessitated the permanent use of a crutch. In 1898 he moved his family to Texas and became interested in oil and gas development at Corsicana. "In 1920 he removed to Laredo to become president of the Border Gas company, subsidiary of the Texas company, which at the time of his death is supplying gas to Laredo and adjoining territory, Mirando City, Agulares, Oilton, and Hebbronville. For many years he was a valuable counselor to operators in the Laredo district and consistently assisted them in their problems and difficulties. "Visitors were invariably impressed by the sight of a kindly appearing old gentleman, with a white goatee, carrying a crutch, and driving a Ford coupe. He was a familiar figure throughout the territory, where his activity in fighting gas blowouts had won him a wide reputation. Dr. CULLINAN believed every wild well could be saved if those fighting the blowout persevered. He used his own crew in fighting gas blowouts and never would accept any payment for the work of himself and his men. "Dr. CULLINAN has the credit of starting the citrus fruit industry ... Laredo section. In the yard of his beautiful home he demonstrated the adaptability of the soil and climate to the growing of oranges, grape fruit, and other members of the citrus family. Representatives of the Department of Agriculture conferred with him, and growers of citrus fruit frequently came to him for advice. "In the death of Dr. CULLINAN, two great industries, besides his personal friends, have lost a real friend and helper." Mrs. Bertha May CLOSE SAWHILL, aged 40 years, of North McDonald street, McDonald, died at 5 o'clock Monday morning, February 21, 1927, in the Canonsburg hospital. She had been ill for the past year and had been in the hospital for the past two months.. Mrs. SAWHOLL was born at Beechmont, Allegheny county, May 7, 1887, a daughter of the late James and Mary CLOSE. On August 10, 1904, she was united in marriage with A. Frank SAWHILL of Midway. Besides her husband she leaves four sons and six daughters: Hazel, the wife of Wallace CAMPBELL of Gregg; Charles, May, Edward, Ruth, Gertrude, Mary, Samuel, Margaret, and Donald, all at home. Three sisters: Mrs. Hugh John CAMPBELL of Gregg, Mrs. J. T. MONTGOMERY of Dubois, and Mrs. O. H. CLINTON of Benezett, together with a brother, William CLOSE of Gregg, also survive. There are two grandchildren. The SAWHILL family lived at Midway for several years, then in Oakdale for a period of 18 months, after which they came to McDonald. The family has resided here for the last 15 years. Funeral services were held at two o'clock Wednesday afternoon in the Robinson's Run United Presbyterian church, of which she was a member, conducted by the Rev. J. M. BETTS, pastor of the McDonald Methodist church. Interment was in the Robinson's Run cemetery. Mrs. Margaretta SMITH RUSSELL, aged 76, died at her home in Hickory Monday afternoon, February 21, 1927, of cerebral hemorrhage. She had apparently been in her usual health, and as a result her death came as a shock to her many friends. Mrs. RUSSELL was born in Cherry Valley October 12, 1850, a daughter of Ebenezer and Margaret LYLE SMITH. October 12, 1875, she married Andrew RUSSELL, a prominent farmer of Mt. Pleasant township. Shortly before Mr. RUSSELL's death, which occurred in 1908, the family moved to Hickory, where Mrs. RUSSELL had since resided. In her youth Mrs. RUSSELL joined the Center United Presbyterian church of Midway, and later transferred her membership to the Hickory church. She was a charter member of the Women's Missionary society, and was active in all church work. A daughter, Miss Romaine RUSSELL of Hickory, and a son, the Rev. Dwight A. RUSSELL of Spokane, Wash., survive. A daughter, Mrs. J. D. BARR, died in 1919. Two sisters, Mrs. Mary GRIFFITH and Mrs. S. A. FARRAR, both of Hickory, also survive. There are ten grandchildren.
