    3. RICHARDSON, DOMIANO, BRABSON, DAILY Mrs. H. H. RICHARDSON died in the Allegheny General hospital on Tuesday morning, June 15, 1920. She was aged 60 years. Mrs. RICHARDSON had not been in very good health for some time, suffering from an infection caused by her teeth. After having her teeth extracted she was taken to the home of a friend, in North Side Pittsburgh, where it was thought she was getting along fine, and expected to be home in a few days. She had gone for a walk early in the morning and had been absent but a few minutes when she was picked up unconscious by the river side near the Bessemer & Lake Erie railroad station. Shortly after reaching the hospital she regained consciousness and gave the names of her friends and family. The first newspaper account that she jumped from the bridge is discounted by the fact that not a bone was broken or were there any bruised to indicate such a happening. Mrs. RICHARDSON was born in Nickelville, Venango county, Pennsylvania, September 29, 1859. On the first day of August 1880 she and Mr. RICHARDSON were united in marriage at Eldred, McKean county, Pa. Mr. and Mrs. RICHARDSON came to McDonald shortly after the oil excitement here and they have made this their home ever since. She was a member of the Christian Alliance church and was one of its leading workers. Mrs. RICHARDSON is survived by her husband, one daughter, Mrs. Elmer GROSSHEIN, of McDonald; and one son, Romain, of California. The body will be brought to McDonald. The funeral services will be held (this) Friday afternoon at 2:30 at the home, 223 Arabella street, conducted by Rev. E. D. WHITESIDE. Interment will be in Robinson's Run cemetery. Rosario DOMIANO, a track-walker on the Panhandle railroad, at Oakdale, was killed on Tuesday evening, June 8, 1920, as he stepped out of the way of one train and was hit by another. He was an Italian by birth and he served throughout the Tripoli and World wars, escaping without a scratch. He also served in the Italian army during the war between Turkey and Italy in 1911 and 1912. DOMIANO came to this country and after a reasonable length of time, took out citizenship papers and was a good American citizen. When the war broke out with Germany, DOMIANO responded to the call and served with the Eightieth Division in France. He was 32 years old and had made his home here for some time. His mother is now crossing the water to come to this country to be with her son, being unaware of his sudden death. DOMIANO was a member of the Oakdale Post No. 171, American Legion, and was a young man full of Americanism and good ideals. The body laid at the MARSHALL morgue from Tuesday evening until Thursday, with his uniform and overseas cap on, while the casket was draped in a beautiful silk flag provided by the Ladies' Flag committee. All business places closed during the Military funeral, which was held from the MARSHALL morgue on Thursday evening at 4:30 o'clock. This was the first military funeral ever held in this town and it was a sight that touched the heart of everyone. The All American Military band, which headed the procession, played the funeral march, followed by the remains and the members of the Post. The highest military honors were paid to DOMIANO, also a salute fired as he was laid to his last resting. The funeral procession marched slowly back from the Noblestown cemetery to the town flag pole, where the band played softly as one of the members of the Post slowly raised the flag, which had been at half mast, to the top of the pole and then lowered and removed it. This was a very touching sight and a beautiful service. Forty soldiers in uniform attended the funeral. Midway, June 13.--Mrs. Elizabeth E. BRABSON, aged 65 years, wife of Charles R. BRABSON, died at her home here this afternoon at 4:15 o'clock following an illness of one month due to a complication of diseases. The BRABSON family formerly resided at Burgettstown but had lived in Midway for the last seven years. Her maiden name was QUARTERMANE.

Mr. Arthur CHARLIER received word on Tuesday morning of the death of his sister, Mary DAILY and her husband, Steve DAILY as the result of an automobile accident at Birmingham, Alabama. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur CHARLIER, Helen JOHNENO, and Filbert DEGIGLE left on Tuesday afternoon for Birmingham.

No word as to how the accident happened or as to funeral arrangements have been received at this writing.
