Deaths from the Democratic Standard, Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., PA. MAGUIRE - HORRIBLE ACCIDENT - Tuesday afternoon of last week a man named Thomas Maguire, a resident of Altoona, met with a horrible and instant death in the "yard" of the Pennsylvania Railroad in that city. He was standing on a track upon which six cars were being dropped down, and failing to notice their approach in time he was struck and thrown with his neck resting on one of the rails. The wheels of five of the cars passed over him, completely severing the head from the trunk. Both legs and one of his arms were also fractured. It was a most sickening spectacle for the few eye witnesses of the awful tragedy, and they were all paralyzed with horror. The remains were gathered up and conveyed to the late residence of deceased, on Sixteenth avenue, and the scene that ensued when the mutilated body was brought home to his wife and children can be imagined, but not described. Deceased was aged about 50 years,and had been in the employ of the company for a long time as a track hand. His terrible death is only another instance of the fact that even those who are best acquainted with the tracks in the Altoona yard are generally the ones who meet with fatal accidents at that point. They become altogether too careless, and consequently take risks which others, less familiar with the manner of shifting trains, would not. Wed. 19 June 1878 issue.

KEMBERLING - SUDDEN DEATH - On Thursday morning last Mr. Samuel Kemberling, of Frankstown township, rose in apparent good health. Having attended to the feeding of the pigs he cut a lot of grass for his horse and took the same to the barn. Soon after some of the members of his family heard a cry of distress; they found that Mr. K. had partially fallen to the floor of the barn. but was holding to the stall with one arm. He was at once removed to the house where he directed his friends to bathe his feet and apply something to his head. A messenger was dispatched in haste to Williamsburg for Dr. ----, who lost no time in hastening to the bedside of the stricken man. Upon removing him to the house Mr. Kemberling's friends discovered that his entire left side was paralyzed. He was as yet perfectly conscious, directing the efforts to give him relief, and complaining of nothing save a severe pain in his right hand. Gradually, however, he grew worse, the power of speech forsook him first, then he lost consciousness, and about nine o'clock the vital spark fled. Mr. Kemberling was about sixty-one years of age and leaves a wife and four or five children to mourn his sudden taking off. He was a consistant member of the Lutheran church for many years past, and was highly respected by all who knew him. His mortal remains were laid to rest in the cemetery near Frankstown on Friday afternoon last. He did the work which was appointed him to do, he hath entered into that eternal rest that remaineth to the people of God. Wed. 26 June 1878 issue.
