Sad Death of a Child John Wasco, the 4-year-old son of Stephen and Elizabeth Wasco met death in an unusual way at his home near Benscreek Friday evening. The little fellow left his home about 4 o’clock Friday afternoon and went out to play. About 5 o’clock his mother went out to look for him and becoming alarmed at not finding him in any of his usual haunts, notified some of her neighbors who together with the boys’ parents instituted a thorough search for him. No trace was discovered until 6 o’clock Saturday morning when one of the neighbors found the dead boy about one hundred feet from the rear of the house, pinned down by an old railroad tie. The right arm was broken, a huge hole was torn in the right cheek and the neck broken, the latter injury being the cause of death. All the indications went to show that the little fellow in clambering up on a pile of old ties had loosened one of them which in falling had thrown him to the ground, inflicting the injuries mentioned. Mrs. William Jennings The above well known and respected lady died at her home in Adams Township recently, aged 76 years. Her death was due to advanced years.

William Kessler William Kessler, formerly of this place but late of Braddock, died suddenly at the Hotel Kirk in East Pittsburg, Wednesday evening of last week. The exact time of his death is not known as he was found lying lifeless in his bed the next morning. The Coroner’s jury said heart disease was the cause of death. Mr. Kessler, who was a baker, conducted an establishment here for six years previous to moving to Braddock a few months ago. A few days ago his family, who have remained here, waiting until he could get a house for them, received a letter stating that he was not in good health, but nothing serious was anticipated. Besides his wife, he is survived by two daughters, Edna and Zella, and one son, Charles, all at home. The deceased came here from Patton but he is a native of Philipsburg, where his remains were taken Saturday. Funeral services were held in the Lutheran Church in Philipsburg at 2 o’clock on Sunday afternoon, followed by interment in the cemetery at that place. Lumberman’s Sudden Death Coroner Miller was notified on Tuesday of the sudden death early that morning of Hezekiah Mumford, colored, a board piler for the A. B. Perley Lumber Company, operating at Alandale, near Beaverdale. Mumford had complained of not feeling well for some days. He arose with the other men about 5 o’clock and was preparing to dress when he suddenly fell over dead. Dr. Patterson of Beaverdale, who was called, reported death due to congestion of the bowels. Upon hearing these particulars Dr. Miller decided that a personal investigation was unnecessary and the remains were turned over to the local undertaker to be prepared for burial. The surreptitious visit of three men in the Pleasant Hill cemetery in West Taylor township about dusk on the 12th of the present month and the depositing there of a new born babe, stillborn, has led to the arrest of Charles Naylor of the Twentieth Ward, Johnstown, on a serious charge preferred by Miss Ida Springer. _________________________________________________________________ When your life is on the go—take your life with you. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/115298558/direct/01/

Jourdent with whom she had lived before her marriage. The remains were sent to Rymersburg for burial. The funeral took place Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock.
