Death Strikes Twice, Apollo, Pa., Nov. 16: A remarkable series of deaths has occurred in the family of Mrs. Lazarus Owens of Apollo in the last few hours. Mrs. Owens, her daughter, Mrs. Martha Shaner and her son, James Owens, are dead and another son, Todd Owens, prostrated by the shock and made dangerously ill. Two days ago, James Owens, aged 52, who lived at the home of his mother died suddenly. James was one of a large family and his brothers and sisters came to attend the funeral. Mrs. Owens and her daughter, Mrs. Shaner, were extremely affected at the death and seemed overcome by the shock. The funeral of James was held in the afternoon and after the return from the cemetery Mrs. Shaner fainted. Friends rushed to her assistance and she was laid upon a couch and physicians summoned. Before they arrived she died. Mrs. Shaner’s death, coupled with that of her son, completely unnerved Mrs. Owens and she fell to the floor unconscious. Before the doctor who had been summoned for Mrs. Shaner could arrive, Mrs. Owens had also expired. Todd Owens was pronounced out of danger and he will probably recover. The coroner was notified of the deaths. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

The Trigger Caught “It’s a pretty good old gun.” The words were spoken by sixteen-year-old Roy James, son of Thomas James of Elmora, this county, while he and George Weakland, a lad of about his own age, sat in the kitchen of Mrs. Elizabeth Wood’s house at Bakerton Sunday evening waiting for their friend, Charles Wood, to finish his supper. He referred to a double-barreled shotgun which stood in a nearby corner, and for which he reached, drawing the weapon toward him, muzzle first. There was a sudden loud report, an exclamation of “Oh, my,” and the youth pitched forward over the gun, a great bleeding wound over his heart. He died within five minutes without regaining consciousness. The wounded boy’s companions and Mrs. Wood who had been in an adjoining room were at first almost paralyzed with horror, but soon recovered enough to do what they could to stanch the gaping wound, pending the arrival of Dr. S. T. Williams of that place. The physician arrived half an hour after the accident to find the patient dead. It is believed he did not live five minutes after receiving the wound. The remains of the lad were removed to his home later in the evening and early Monday morning word of the fatality was phoned to the office of Coroner E. L. Miller of Johnstown. That official was in Pittsburg when the message came and did not learn of the fatality until his return on the 1:58 train in the afternoon. Upon hearing the circumstances of the case he decided that an inquest would be unnecessary. The dead boy’s mother died about a year ago. Besides his father, Thomas James, he is survived by the following brothers and sisters, all at home: Samuel, Bright, George, Edward and Elizabeth. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, November 4, 1904 Volume XXXVIII, Number 43 DEATHS Found Body in Swamp A party of hunters returning to their homes in this place about 1:30 o’clock Tuesday afternoon reported the discovery of what were evidently the decomposing remains of a man lying in the densest section of a small swamp, situated on the Ann Glass farm, about four miles east of Ebensburg. Investigations by a number of persons from this place later in the afternoon attested the correctness of the hunters’ statements and speculations as to the identity of the dead man has been rife ever since. Various persons say they have good reason to believe that the body is that of a demented person who had been scouting, entirely naked, through the woods of the neighborhood; others believe him to have been murdered and thrown into the swamp, while still another theory has it that he is a victim of the not far distant railroad who, in trying to crawl away for assistance, became exhausted and perished at the spot where his rotting remains were found. The members of the hunting party who made the gruesome discovery were Walter Bolsinger, Wm. Peach, Bell Chute and Hugh Brown. They had been shooting rabbits in the wood near the Glass farm when one of them became curious about a terrible stench which issued apparently from a small bog situated about sixty yards from the farmhouse, deserted now for nearly fifteen years. A very short search revealed the decaying body, entirely nude and lying on its side with the head in a small stream which runs through the swamp. Without attempting to investigate further, the hunters hastened back to Ebensburg where they immediately reported the matter at the Court House. Half an hour later a party composed of Dr. F. C. Jones, Attorneys Walter Jones and Philip N. Shettig, Charles Hasson and W. R. Thompson, started for the Glass farm under the direction of the hunting party. Arriving there they found everything as described. The stench about the place was so dreadful that it was only with the greatest effort that Dr. Jones and one or two other members of the party could approach the body closely enough to make any satisfactory examination. Dr. Jones expressed himself of the opinion that the person, whoever it might be, had been dead a number of weeks. With the exception of a small portion of the rear, the skull was entirely devoid of flesh, the hair too having disappeared. The rest of the body from the neck down was not so badly decomposed, most of the flesh being still intact, and turned into a black crisp by the action of the weather. In the abdominal region, however, there was a great cavity which was a perfect mass of putrefaction. No attempt at a detailed examination was made but from the gray color of the hair on the breast and arms, it was believed that the dead man had been of rather advanced years. What is believed to be a clue to the identity of the man found was given by Richard Bradley, the fourteen-year-old son of James Bradley who lives not more than 100 yards from the Glass place. The boy says that he and some companions had until about a month ago seen at intervals a naked and apparently demented old man dodging among the trees in the neighboring woods. His evidence is said to have been corroborated by that of George and Mike Stock, section men on the Ebensburg branch who are also said to have seen this strange apparition. Coroner Miller was notified of the discovery. _________________________________________________________________ You live life beyond your PC.

Dies in Jackson Township One of the oldest residents of Jackson township, William Stevens, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Bart Ribblett, Thursday afternoon of last week at 3:20 o’clock, aged 82 years, 1 month and 14 days. The deceased was born in England where he married Miss Elizabeth Wern and came to this country about 1850. Mrs. Stevens died three years ago. Mr. Stevens is survived by three daughters, two sons and a brother, Richard Stevens of Pittsburg. The daughters are Martha, wife of Frank Bowen of Ohio; Annie M., wife of Jacob Berge of Pittsburg; Sarah, wife of Bart Ribblett, where he made his home, and Amelia, wife of Marvin Bowen of Jackson township; Wm. J. of Johnstown and David J. of Jackson township are the two sons. Funeral services Sunday at 10 a.m. at the M. E. Chapel at Wesley cemetery with interment in the cemetery there. Shot by Brother, Pindelton, Oct. 21: “I’ll shoot you,” were the playful words uttered yesterday afternoon by William, the 7-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. William Otto of this place to his 12-year-old sister, Ruby, who now has died with a bullet hole through her head. The two children had been playing about the yard about two o’clock when the boy discovered the gun, a .32 caliber target rifle, which was lying in an unhitched wagon standing near the house and after playfully uttering the above words he pointed the gun at his sister. With a sharp report the gun was discharged and the bullet ploughed its way clear through the sister’s head, having entered from the left side of the neck and came out near the right ear. Dr. Mitchell was summoned from Twin Rocks at once, some distance from here, but he was unable to do anything to save the victim. Death resulted about three hours after the girl had been injured. The gun that caused so much sorrow was owned by Henry McAllister, a 12-year-old grandson of William Campbell, who owns the farm on which the Otto family lives. The lad had been helping to husk corn and had placed the weapon, which he had brought with him from his home in the morning, in the wagon where the Otto boy secured it. The funeral took place Saturday after services in St. Nicolas’ church, Nicktown, conducted by Rev. Father Rupert, the pastor. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

Mr. Allen was a shoemaker by trade, having learned the trade in Ireland. Some years after coming to this country he started a shoe store in Pittsburg and up until some eight years ago, when he retired from business, conducted a large store there. After retiring Mr. Allen continued to live in East End, Pittsburg, for a time, after which he came to Ebensburg and had resided here ever since. His wife, Mrs. Mary Fulton Allen, also a native or Ireland, died in Pittsburg fifteen years ago. He leaves to survive him one daughter, Mrs. Mary J., wife of A. J. Darragh, of the West ward, Ebensburg. The funeral took place in Pittsburg on Tuesday afternoon from McNulty’s Chapel on Center Avenue, (Lawrenceville), East End, Pittsburg, at 2 o’clock.
