Evening Times, Cumberland, Maryland, Fri 7 Feb 1908: 
"MET HIS DEATH IN A STRANGE WAY--Mr. Daniel Scally Victim of Peculiar 
Accident--Mr. Daniel Scally, a prominent citizen of Frostburg, met 
with what proved to be a fatal accident last evening. The Frostburg 
Fraternal Order of Eagles, of which Mr. Scally is president, held a 
smoker in their rooms in the Shea building last evening, it being the 
tenth anniversary of the order.  Mr. Scully, with several other 
members, worked in the kitchen all evening cooking oysters and 
preparing lunches for the members present. At 12 o'clock, Mr. Scally, 
in company with Bernard Hughes and Geo. Lewis, started for his home. 
To have better walking they got out in the car track and started down 
Main strteet. When opposite Hitchin Bros. Store, Mr. Scally fell, 
striking his right side on the car rail. As stated above, Mr. Scally 
had been assisting in the kitchen during the evening and had taken a 
large carving knife from his home to use and he had this knife in his 
right coat pocket and in falling, the knife entered his right side, 
inflicting a wound about 7 inches deep. After falling, Mr. Scally got 
to his feet and started to go down the street when he discovered he 
had been injured and told his companions he had been cut with the 
knife. They at once assisted him back to the Eagles IOOF where 
everything possible was done for him. Drs. Donnolly and Price were 
called immediately and did all in their power to save his life, but 
after lingering for about an hour hed died. Father Nolan, assistant 
pastor of the Catholic church, was sent for and did all he could to 
make his last moments peaceful.  Mr. Scall was well known all over 
the county, having been employed for a number of years by the C. & P. 
R. R. Co. and the U. S. Express Co., at Frostburg. For the last few 
years he has worked at the carpenter trade and worked onn the new 
Maryland Theatre in Cumberland until completed. Mr. Scally's death 
has cast a gloom over the while community as he was a man of good 
habits and a general favorite.  He leaves a wife and a large family 
of grown children.  The funeral, which will be held under the auspices 
of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, has not been arranged yet. The 
deceased was a brother of Messrs. Peter Scally, of Midland, and John 
Scally, of Frostburg, and the family has beenn well known and highly 
respected in the county for years."."
