His body at this writing has not yet been found. The matter has created great excitement at Piedmont and Westernport. Mr. Moran was well up in years and was a faithful employe. He leaves surviving him a wife and four grown children.” This file is located at http://files.usgwarchives.net/md/allegany/obits/m/moran-p.txt
