Mr. MCGEE was born at Westfield, N. Y., November 1876. He was a member of St. Alphonsus Church, where the sad last rites were performed Sunday afternoon at 2:30. The deceased was very popular, his funeral being the largest held in McDonald in years. Many members of the C. M. B. A. Society, of which he was a member, attended. Besides his father and mother, he leaves to mourn his loss one sister, Miss Louise, three brothers, George and Charlie at home and Wm. L., of Mannington, W. Va. Interment took place at Noblestown. William SAMS, a farmer, aged 23, Gump post office, 10 miles south of Waynesburg, Pa., was suffocated in a well which he was having dug on his farm. Silas OGDEN, colored, was doing the work.

Died, Aug. 7th, 9-months old child of Mr. and Mrs. John KESLER, of Noblestown. *Sturgeon column
