Curtis Liston, 81, of Uniontown, at one time a noted marksman, suffered a fatal heart attack Tuesday afternoon in the Uniontown Shopping Center. He was pronounced dead on arrival at Uniontown Hospital. Prior to his retirement he was an officer of the former H. C. Frick Coke Co. plant protection department. He won the world championship rifle and hand-gun competition in Pittsburgh in 1910, and traveled for several years with the Buffalo Bill Wild West Show, working with the late Annie Oakley in trick shooting exhibitions. Among his trophies was a 20-gauge shotgun given him by Annie Oakley. He was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and Menallen Grange. Surviving are his widow, Mrs. Olive Galloway Liston; a son, Fred of Uniontown; a daughter; five grandchildren; a brother and a sister, Mrs. Flora Cooley of Uniontown. There is an ad in the paper in The Newark Advocate - 5/15/1911 for the Buffalo Bill Wild West show featuring Annie Oakley and also appearing Curtis Liston. Also a chart on the internet by Duane Cooley has Flora Olive Liston married to Samuel A Cooley and that her mother was Amanda Goodwin McKay.
