CHOKED TO DEATH Coroner Miller of Johnstown was called to Dunlo last week to investigate the death of Albert Kittel, a Polander, who died under most unusual circumstances. Kittel was a miner and worked last Saturday until shortly after noon. He then went home and afterward in company with his wife went down town to do some shopping and attend to other business. At the grocery store Kittel paid his bill. When supper time came Kittel sat down to the table and was eating some roast beef when he choked suddenly. He left the table to get a drink of water and was just reseating himself when he fell forward on his face and died in a short while. All kinds of reports were in circulation in Dunlo. It was said that the man had been murdered, that he had been poisoned by some enemy and that his death was self-caused. Doctor Miller was notified and went to Dunlo Sunday morning. After an investigation he ascertained that the death of Kittel was the result of strangulation. ACCIDENTALLY SHOT Faber Eckenrode, the eleven-year-old son of the widow of the late Michael Eckenrode, was accidentally shot while working in a field near Loretto last week. Edward Stoy of Wildwood Springs was out gunning for squirrels in a field when his shot gun was accidentally discharged, the load penetrating young Eckenrode’s body in the stomach and left leg. Dr. John Murphy of Loretto was summoned and put the boy at his ease, deciding that the young fellow would recover unless complications set in. _________________________________________________________________ Get thousands of games on your PC, your mobile phone, and the web with Windows®. http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/108588800/direct/01/

Cambria Freeman, Ebensburg, Pa. Friday, July 24, 1903 REMARKABLE SERIES OF FATAL ACCIDENTS Thirteen fatal accidents even for a city, the size of the one that will eventually adorn one end of the trolley line in Ebensburg within 11 days, is certainly unusual enough to attract wide attention in Johnstown but that 13 should occur in such a short period is certainly startling. Of the victims, five were killed on the P. R. R. tracks, two in the Franklin works, two on elevators, while an oil can explosion, a fall from a bridge, a fall of coal, and a kick by a horse each claimed one. Four of the deaths occurred week before last, while eight occurred last week, four on Tuesday and four on Friday. Nine of the deaths were practically instantaneous. Following is the list: Tuesday, July 7, Dragatine Bascha, struck by train at Stone bridge. Wednesday July 8, Smith McCrorey, fell down the elevator shaft at Thomas store. Friday, July 10, William Shreck, crushed in cog wheels at Franklin coke ovens. Saturday, July 11, William Jones, crushed by fall of coal in the Valley Stone and Coal Mine company mine. Tuesday, July 14, George Knazortz, crushed by truck in Franklin car plant. Tuesday, July 14, Finlay McDonald, ground to pieces under freight train in Conemaugh yards. Tuesday, July 14, Henry C. Rippin, struck by train at P. R. R. passenger depot. Friday, July 17, John H. Zell and Frank, struck by train at Sheridan station. Friday, July 17, Mary Saula burned by explosion of oil can at her home on Broad street. Friday, July 17, Thomas Bloom fell over ten acre bridge.

For those interested in the Civil War. The Register, Hollidaysburg, Blair Co., PA. Wed. 19 Oct. 1870 issue. DEATH OF ROBERT E. LEE General Robert E. Lee died at Lexington Virginia, on the 12 inst.of paralysis, surrounded by his family and friends. Robert Edmund Lee was born in Virginia in 1808.He had a fine education, and graduated at West Point in 1829, and entered the United States Army. He was made Captain in 1838, and in 1846 was appointed Engineer-in-Chief to the army in Mexico. In that war he served gallantly, and was promoted to a coloneley for his bravery at Chapultepee. In 1852 he was made superintendent of West Point, and held that position till 1855. He served in the United States Army till 1861, when he resigned and offered his sword to Virginia, which had just seceded, His subsequent career is well known. He was appointed Commander-in Chief of the Virginia troops, and in 1862 was intrusted with the defence of Richmond, then threatened by McClellan, the old companion in arms of Lee. In the battles that ensued Lee completely repulsed McClellan, and compelled him to retreat. In the same year he drove back Pope. In 1862, he invaded Maryland and Pennsylvania, and was whipped by McClellan at Antietam in September, 1862. In July 1863, he met a terrible repulse at Gettysburg, and was compelled to retreat across the Potomac. Previous to this he had defeated Burnside at Fredericksburg, December, 1862, and Hooker at Chancellorsville. From August, 1863, until May, 1864, General Lee was engaged along the Rhappahannock, and fought a series of desperate battles in the Wilderness. He then retired to his old position on the James River. February 5, 1865, he was appointed Commander-in Chief of all the confederate armies, and ably defended Petersburg and Richmond. Early in April he was compelled to abandon Petersburg, and April 9 surrendered himself and army to General Grant. After the war General Lee took no part in politics. He was almost worshipped by the Southern people. He became President of Washington College, Lexington, Virginia, in October, 1865, and remained in charge ot it up to the time of his death. General Lee was undoubtedly one of the best generals of the age. He managed his campaign superbly, and with inferior numbers successfully battled the Union generals for years. But the state rests upon him of having fought against the Government to which he owed his education, and in whose easy service he had passed his life. In all actions but this treason (which he justified by claiming that his first allegiance was due to his State), General Lee had the reputation of being an upright, as he was undoubtedly an able and accomplished man. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go.

Dear Patty: The obituary you just posted for Matilda (Glass) Brady (May 22, 1903) just solved another little 'puzzle' for me. Matilda was a daughter of Jacob Glass (1806-1885) and Jane Gorman (1817-1902). About a year ago, quite a few of us on this list worked on a mix-up for another of Jacob & Jane's daughters, Mary Jane Glass (1840-<1880) and her husband, John Parrish. I can't quite remember how the mix-up was worked out, but a number of us had input into resolving it. Jacob Glass/Jane Gorman were NOT my own direct GLASS ancestors, although I do try to follow all of the GLASS people in Cambria. I had a 'hint' that Matilda had married a "Brady", but hadn't pursued it. This obituary provides the proof and adds further information on four other daughters and one son of Jacob Glass/Jane Gorman!! That's wonderful!!! Thanks you, so much, Patty. I'm also so happy to see that these articles are going onto the Cambria County website!! It is so beneficial to have the rootsweb list so closely connected to the 'county' website. Thanks to Lynn and Diane, too!!! Carol Vass Kent, WA
