    3. LENCHUCK, GAMBLE, SMITH The lifeless body of a man believed to be Clem LENCHUCK was found frozen Sunday morning at the edge of the ball-field, just west of the borough line. The body was found by John SHIMEK and was taken to HUMPHRIES mortuary. In a pocket of the man's coat was a registration card bearing the name Clem LENCHUCK, age 26, and the number 157. There was also a pay envelope of the Heidelberg steel works dated November 30. For two weeks past the man had been working at the Jumbo mine and lived by himself in a shack at Jumbo. It is supposed that he fell over the bank, distance of eight or ten feet, the roads being very slippery Saturday night and was unable to get back to the road. Joseph GAMBLE died at the Canonsburg hospital, Saturday morning, January 12, 1918, where he went one week before because of heart trouble, from which he had suffered for some time. Mr. GAMBLE was born on what was long known as the GAMBLE farm, south of McDonald, February 14, 1843. Since the death of his wife six years ago, Mr. GAMBLE has made his home with his sister, Mrs. Joseph HOLMES, at Canonsburg. Mr. GAMBLE was one of the oldest and most highly respected citizens of this community all the yeas he lived near McDonald. He was a life-long member of Robinson's Run church and was faithful in his attendance. The funeral services were conducted in the church by pastor, the Rev. J. B. CAVITT. Interment was in the family lot in Robinson's Run cemetery. Funeral services for Mrs. Elizabeth SMITH, who died at her home in Valley street, Thursday evening, will be held at the late home Sunday afternoon, at 2 o'clock, in charge of the pastor, J. H. DEBOLT. Further particulars of the deceased will appear in next week's issue.
