Miss Kate Cresswell Miss Kate Cresswell, of 522 Somerset street, died of heart failure shortly after 1:30 o’clock on the morning of the 24th. Miss Cresswell had been ill for quite a long time with nervous prostration, and heart failure was a direct result of the ailment. The deceased was about 40 years of age and is survived by one sister, Miss Ella Cresswell and two brothers, Attorney R. E. Cresswell of Somerset street, and Frank Cresswell of Napoleon street, Johnstown. The remains were taken from her home to the old Cresswell home at Stongstown, Indiana county, last Saturday and Sunday were interred in the St. Patrick’s church cemetery at Cameron’s Bottoms, a small place about three miles from the former town. The funeral was an unusually large one, being attended by over 1,000 persons. People were in attendance from Indiana, Greensburg, Johnstown and other points, all gathered together to pay their last respects to their departed friend. Took Horse Medicine Nathan Beckley, son of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Beckley, was found dead in a meadow of his father’s dairy farm near Geistown Monday morning by his brother, having accidentally taken an overdose of horse medicine which killed him. It is not known just how young Beckley cam to take the stuff, but it is supposed that he was cold when he reached the barn about 8 o’clock and knowing the effects of the medicine went inside to get some of it. A partly burned match was found, showing where he had made a light and the bottle, with half of its contents gone, was lying alongside the hat of the unfortunate young man. Feeling the effects of it, he eventually started to walk and fell over in the meadow and expired in the cold of the night. The body was taken to Pleasantville, Bedford county, Wednesday, for interment by the side of a brother who died of diphtheria a few months ago. Judge Bailey Dead The unexpected death of Hon. John M. Bailey, president judge of the Huntingdon, Mifflin and Bedford judicial district was announced Monday morning and caused not only surprise but profound and universal regret in the community. Although it was known that Judge Bailey’s impaired health had unfitted for him close attention to his official duties, yet he was seen daily by his neighbors about his residence and office and sometimes upon the streets, and the suddenly fatal termination of his disease was wholly unlooked for. He was not more ill last evening than he had been for several days and his physician, who called to see him, left him in the night with the impression that his condition had improved. About 2 o’clock the judge went into his bath room and was soon heard by Mrs. Bailey to fall heavily to the floor. She went to his assistance and called for other help, but before further aid could come to her or to him the spark of life had fled and the honorable and useful career of the lawyer and jurist was ended. _________________________________________________________________ Get thousands of games on your PC, your mobile phone, and the web with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588800/direct/01/

Before assistance arrived he was burned from his knees up. Hastings Miner Killed John McGilley, a miner in the employ of the Beech Creek Coal and Coke company at Hastings was so badly injured while at work in the mines Saturday morning that he died early Sunday morning. McGilley, with his son-in-law, was at work in a room. He was undermining a lot of coal. Both of the men working with him told him that he should prop the mass up, as it might fall and injure some one. McGilley, however, did not do this. While McGilley was standing directly under the rather loose mass, it fell. Before he died, the injured miner admitted that his misfortune was the result of his own carelessness. The dead man is survived by his wife and four children. The funeral took place Tuesday morning from the Hastings Catholic church. Interment was made in the Church cemetery.

I have just read an interesting book on the Prince Father Demetrius Gallitzin, titled "Apostle of the Alleghenies, Reverend Demetrius Augustine Gallitzin" by Matthew and Margaret Bunson. I have also heard that the process has started to make this remarkable man a saint. He had baptized and married several of my relatives at St. Michael's of Loretto. If any of you have had family members that have connected with this famous priest, please read this great biography. After reading, this book, I am interested in finding both an obituary and a will for Gallitzin. According to the book, there were several parishioners named in his will. If anyone has this information and would like to share it on this list, please do so. Thanks. Walt Bennett
Does anyone know anything about Peter Kinney of Spangler? I'm wondering if he's any relation to the Ellen McKinney/Kinney, daughter of James, who married George Weakland at Loretto 03 Oct 1820. I've had no luck at all researching this branch of my tree.

Mrs. Stockley and her husband followed them a few months later and resided in Houtzdale and at Lancashire, near Philipsburg, from which place they removed to Barnesboro in 1894. Mrs. Stockley leaves behind her a husband and six sons and one daughter, also her mother, three brothers and one sister.

KILLED IN THE MINES Coroner E. L. Miller on Friday morning went to Ehrenfeld and investigated the death of Tony Chipiano, the Italian who was killed in the Pennsylvania Coal & Company’s mines on Thursday. Chipiano’s death was caused by a fall of coal. Coroner Miller’s investigation developed that neither Chipiano nor his companion, who is an experienced miner, had spragged before mining, causing the fall. Under the circumstance, the coroner decided an inquest unnecessary. Chipiano was aged thirty –three years, and leaves a wife and family in Italy. BABE’S BODY FOUND IN A BOX Some children who were playing in the cellar of a house on the Portage township side of Benscreek, about one and one half miles from Benscreek or Cassandra, on Monday afternoon, says the Johnstown Tribune, found a wooden box which they dragged outside. Slate keeper Ritchey who lives not far away took the box to break it up into kindling wood and found inside it a paper box. In this was discovered the badly decayed remains of a full birth baby. The babe was well dressed and then presence of talcum powder on the body indicated that the little one had lived some time. Constable William Inman took the bones for the body was not more than a skeleton to Cassandra and notified Coroner E. L. Miller. Coroner Miller on Tuesday went to Cassandra and learned that during the last six or eight months a couple of families had lived in the house in which the babe was found. The family which occupied the house immediately before the last tenants was made up of English speaking people, so it is thought they could tell something about the box mystery. That family, unfortunately has left the region so that no light can be thrown on the affair. The house is untenanted at present. _________________________________________________________________ Be the filmmaker you always wanted to be—learn how to burn a DVD with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588797/direct/01/
