Aged Resident Passes Away By the death of Abel Lloyd who died at home in this place on Monday, Ebensburg loses one of its best and most respected citizens. Mr. Lloyd was almost eighty years old, but until a short time ago was one of the most active of the elderly people in this town. He was of the second generation of the Lloyd family in this country, his father having been the earliest settler at Ebensburg and most of his life had been spent here although he had traveled considerably and had a wide acquaintance. Mr. Lloyd had he lived until the 22nd of next June would have been eighty years old, having been born in 1824. He was a brother of John Lloyd, Ebensburg’s veteran merchant who has conducted a store here since 1852. When a young man, the deceased left Ebensburg, the place of his birth, to work for the iron firm of Fray, Matthews & Co., in Pittsburg. It was while here that he met Miss Annie Gardner, the young lady, English born, who afterwards became his wife. During the founding of the Cambria Iron company in Johnstown and shortly after his marriage in Pittsburg, Mr. Lloyd left his position in the Smoky City and went to work as a clerk for the new iron works. He was called from his labors to the office of county commissioner after the celebrated contest of 1858. He was an originator of the summer hotel business at Ebensburg, having erected the Lloyd Springs Hotel and conducted it successfully until his age led him to close it up and retire from business. He was also largely interested in other property here and was quite wealthy. Besides his wife, who is at present quite ill, the following children survive him: J. G. Lloyd of this place; Jennie, wife of Carl Rivinus, the local jeweler; Margaret, wife of Fred Spiller of Fitzgerald, Ga.; Annie, wife of Mathiot Reade Esq., of this place; and the Misses Bell and Martha, at home. The funeral service will be conducted by the Oriental Commandery No. 61 Knight Templar of Johnstown. Full Knights Templar’ ceremonies will be carried out at the home of the deceased and at the grave in Lloyd’s Cemetery, donated long ago to the county seat by the grandfather of the deceased. James Douglass James Douglass died at Ashville, Cambria County, Wednesday morning at 2 o’clock after an illness of about one week with pneumonia. Deceased was born November 29, 1821. He was married to Mary Noel, January 14, 1848, and is survived by the following children: William of Altoona; Mrs. Jacob Stoltz and Milton of Chest Springs; Mrs. Augustine Daugherty of Ashville and James, at home. He is also survived by the following brothers and sisters: John H. Douglass of Altoona; Mrs. Jane Green and Mrs. Peter McKenzie of Chest Springs and Thomas of Cheyenne, Wyoming. The deceased was a member of the Presbyterian Church. Engine Let Go Works Death Three men killed and several injured by an Explosion at Ehrenfeld The explosion of the boiler of P. R. R. freight engine No. 2080 at Ehrenfeld about 10 o’clock Monday night caused the deaths of three men and the probable fatal injury of two others, all of them employees of the railroad The dead: John Gontz, conductor of the train that the ill-fated engine was hauling. Henry Tyson, engineer in the cab at the time. George Bickner, track walker, who got on the engine at South Fork about a mile from the place where the explosion occurred. The injured: Robert Renwick, fireman, one leg blown completely off and the other badly crushed and broken, probably fatally hurt. Elmer Furl, a brakeman, hip broken and legs crushed, probably fatally hurt. The cause of the accident which took place within 50 feet of the station is not known and will probably never be determined. The freight left the Derry Yards at 6:45 in the evening and proceeded as usual to Conemaugh with the engine that blew up in the lead. The pull up the mountain east of Conemaugh is one that is well known to all the P. R. R. rail men and at the later place the freight was supplied with a “pusher” or an engine that is coupled on the rear of the train to aid in making the up-hill trip. After the addition of the pusher the freight continued up the mountains but only got as far as Ehrenfeld when the accident occurred. The escape of the fireman and the brakeman from death is doubtless due to the fact that they were on the tender of the engine. The engineer and the conductor were both in the cab as was Bickner, the trackwalker, who had a message for the railroaders at Summerhill and had boarded the engine at South Fork. All of the men with the exception of the trackwalker were residents of Derry and the latter lives at New Germany, a small town just back of Summerhill. A remarkable escape was that of E. F. Tierst of Indiana, an extra brakeman, who had been riding on the engine and had left it only two or three minutes before the explosion. The track flagman, Tuly, of Derry, a member of the train crew, also had a very narrow escape. _________________________________________________________________ Want to read Hotmail messages in Outlook?

Mr. Hughes who was a yard engineer was taking his engine, No. 1,507, down through the yard at the time mentioned and had a clear track when he passed the last signal. Just after he passed the Fourth street bridge, his engine collided with a car that had been shifted off the siding for the Hoster Brewing company, and which had not entirely cleared the main track on which his engine was running. The top of the car struck the cab of the engine and tore it from the boiler and dropped it against the tank. Mr. Hughes was caught under the cab and made an effort to shut his engine off. While he was thus engaged, the wrecked cab caught on a signal pole and was stripped off the engine and Mr. Hughes was thrown head first on a picket fence, his skull being fractured by the fall. He only lived a few minutes after the accident and never regained consciousness. _________________________________________________________________ Stay organized with simple drag and drop from Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_102008
