    3. RUMBAUGH, ANDERSON Lois Isabelle, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Roy RUMBAUGH, died very suddenly Friday, September 5, of heat prostration. Besides the parents, two brothers, Leroy and Chester, survive. Mr. and Mrs. RUMBAUGH have the sympathy of a large circle of friends. Interment was made in Noblestown cemetery. Those from out of town who attended the funeral were Mrs. George TRAUBERT of Wellsburg, W. Va., Fred DENSMORE of Claysville, Mrs. F. E. KIGHTLINGER and son Fred of Swissvale. Trying to protect himself from a fall from an electric light pole in Midway on Tuesday morning, William Everett ANDERSON seized a live wire and was electrocuted. In his fall to the ground ANDERSON's body struck William BABLE, who was on the pole. BABLE was knocked to the ground and received a severe injury to his leg. Two physicians were summoned but the 6600 volts which had passed through ANDERSON's body were sufficient to cause his death ten minutes after the accident. ANDERSON had been employed by the West Penn Lighting Company for some time as a lineman. He came from Washington to McDonald about two years ago. Last spring he went back to Washington. Two months ago he returned to McDonald. Tuesday in company with other workmen he was employed at Midway in erecting street lights. In some manner ANDERSON lost his balance and started to fall. In his efforts to prevent falling to the ground he seized the wire and 6600 volts shot through his body, causing him to tumble to the ground twenty feet below. The body was brought to the ANDERSON home in Valley street Tuesday evening. ANDERSON, who was twenty-seven year of age, was born at Claysville, being a son of Mr. and Mrs. George ANDERSON. He was married to Miss BUTLER of Virginia, who survives, with one daughter, two and a half years old. Besides the parents Mr. ANDERSON is also survived by two brothers and two sisters: Albert ANDERSON, a tailor of Washington; Harry ANDERSON of Lewisburg; Mrs. R. W. JONES of Claysville, and Mrs. Olive TAYLOR of Duvall. A brief service, conducted by the Rev. W. D. IRONS, D. D., was held at the home in Valley street on Wednesday afternoon, after which the body was shipped to Claysville for interment Friday afternoon.
