MCADAMS, KIGHTLINGER, SHEPPARD, ROSS Samuel J. MCADAMS, one of the most prominent citizens of Robinson township, was found dead beside a couch in the sitting room of his home last Friday morning by his wife. He had been in his usual state of health until Thursday when he complained of feeling ill. No cause is assigned for his sudden demise. Mr. MCADAMS was 56 years of age. Eight years ago he married Miss Alice BARTLETT of Caldwell, Ohio, and besides his wife, three small boys survive him, the eldest aged seven and the youngest is a baby. His widowed mother also survives him at the age of 90 years, and one sister, Mrs. James OSBORN of near Burgettstown. Although Mr. MCADAMS had not been feeling well for several days his physician assured him there was nothing serious the matter and he did not take to his bed. On Thursday night he was lying on a couch in the sitting room, when his wife, who had just put the children to bed, said: "It's bedtime; aren't you coming to bed?" "Not for a little bit," he replied. Mrs. MCADAMS then retired and slept until morning. On rising she discovered that he had not occupied his bed during the night. Becoming alarmed she went at once to the sitting room, where she found him stretched cold in death, face downward, on the floor beside the couch, where she had left him at bedtime. He had succumbed to neuralgia of the heart. Besides being a successful farmer, Mr. MCADAMS was a director of the McDonald Savings & Trust Company and the Midway National Bank. He was a member of the First Presbyterian Church of McDonald. The funeral services were held Monday morning at 10:30 from the late residence, Rev. J. P. JORDAN and Rev. G. M. KERR conducting the services. Interment was made in Candor cemetery. While seated at the dinner table at his home south of town, on Monday, Harvey E. KIGHTLINGER, a well-known oil man, became the victim of a sudden and violent hemorrhage of the lungs and died within three minutes after. Mr. KIGHTLINGER was widely known, having worked in nearly all the oil fields of Western Pennsylvania. The only illness from which he had ever suffered was a slight ailment which had never been serious. The deceased was fifty-six years old. He was born near Bradford and thirty years ago engaged in the oil business. Coming to McDonald sixteen years ago he took charge of a lease in Mt. Pleasant township, which he had since worked. He was a member of McDonald Tent, Knights of the Maccabees. Mr. KIGHTLINGER is survived by his wife and one son, Frank, who is employed as a gauger for the Manufacturers' Light & Heat Company at Wellsburg, W. Va. The funeral services were held by Rev. Dr. MCCONNELL in the Hickory U. P. Church Wednesday at 11:30 o'clock, followed by the interment at Hickory. Hannah, the third daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John SHEPPARD of Poplar street, died Saturday, November 15, at 4:30 p.m. after a lingering illness of typhoid fever. The deceased was aged 18 years and 8 days. Though of a quiet disposition she had many friends. Her death was unexpected as Hannah had been getting along nicely until the day prior to her death. She is survived by her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John SHEPPARD, and the following brothers and sisters: Walter of Van Meter, Pa., John, Edwin, Samuel, Ernest, Howard, William and Earl, Mrs. E. PARHAM of Allegheny, Elizabeth, May and Bertha. The funeral services were held at the home Monday afternoon at 3:30 o'clock, conducted by Rev. Wm. Malcolm BUZZA.
