DICKINSON, aged 60 years, died at five o'clock Monday evening, March 14, 1927, in the Oil City hospital, where he had been a patient for ten days. Mr. DICKINSON was born in Warren county March 27, 1866. He was united in marriage with Roanna WALKER of Oil City in 1888 at Limestone, N. Y. Mr. and Mrs. DICKINSON came to McDonald in 1892 during the oil excitement. Mr. DICKINSON worked for a number of years in the oil field in and around McDonald. For a number of years he owned a grocery store in East Lincoln avenue. Besides his wife he leaves one daughter, Mrs. David FURGUSON of Weirton, W. Va.; one son, Willis DICKINSON of Toronto, Ohio; three brothers, George W. of Carrick, Charles of Liberty street, McDonald; and Menzo of Silver Springs, Md. There are four grandchildren. The body was sent to Steubenville, Ohio, for burial. Alfred TOURNAY, aged twenty years, a brakeman on the Panhandle railroad, was caught and crushed between two cars at four o'clock on Wednesday afternoon of last week in Weirton, W. Va. He died the following day--at six o'clock Thursday evening, March 10, 1927. Mr. TOURNAY was the son of Henry and Guillemille TOURNAY, and was born in October 1906, in McDonald. His mother died November 18, 1911. He is the third in the TOURNAY family to die by accident: a brother two years old was scalded to death in 1916, and his brother Henry was killed in a railroad accident September 2, 1927. Alfred was faithful in his attendance at the French U. P. church until he left McDonald about three years ago to seek work elsewhere. He was a member of the French U. P. Sabbath school, of the Y. P. C. U, and of the young men's athletic organization--the F. A. Y. M. He frequently played baseball for the French church team and was greatly admired by all who knew hem intimately for his good sportsmanship, fair play, and other gentlemanly qualities. Mr. TOURNAY was employed as brakeman, working on one of the steel mill yard trains. In attempting to couple two of the scrap buggies together, he was caught between the cars, crushing his chest and puncturing his lung. Workmen nearby who were unable to explain the accident, assisted in his removal to the Weirton Steel company emergency hospital, where his injuries were dressed. It is thought he was struck by a dolomite pan as it tipped, and was knocked between the buggies. Besides his father and stepmother he leaves eight brothers and sisters. The body was brought to the TOURNAY home in McDonald on Friday. Funeral services were held on Sunday at 2:30 o'clock from the home and at three o'clock from the French United Presbyterian church, conducted by the pastor, the Rev. Auguste DEVOS.

SPRINGER, who formerly lived in Clinton, and was well known throughout Beaver county, died in the Sewickley hospital on Sunday, March 13, 1927, from injuries sustained last September in an automobile wreck. When a small boy his big ambition in life was to be a "cop" like the ones he knew up in New Kensington where the family lived before removing to Clinton. As he grew older that was the calling he followed, serving until the accident. He was for several years a reporter for the Beaver Falls Review, writing the Southside news, which were always humorous sketches of true happenings in the southside of Beaver county. The writer was never acquainted with any one who could so many large words and use them correctly as could Mr. SPRINGER. He made his home with his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. James SPRINGER, who are now in the U. P. Home for the Aged at Wilkinsburg. The SPRINGER home was burned down recently. *Montour Valley column
