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.
