He was thirty three years of age. A child of Mr. Wm. PATTON, living southeast of town, died of convulsions Sunday morning. Mr. Frank Throne, on his return home last week, transferred the remains of his deceased children- aged respectively, 4 and 8 years - from the cemetery at Jamestown, Steuben County, Ind. to East Palestine Cemetery. Homewood, Pa., April 3 - About 5:30 Saturday evening a young man attempted to board a fast moving freight train at this point and fell under the wheels. The greater part of the train passed over him, severing both legs, causing his death at 7:30. The young man's name was William BAUM, an employee of the Buckeye machine shop in Salem, Ohio, and was but 18 years of age. He came here "on a spree" accompanied by a young man from the same place. The coroner was duly notified and held an inquest, but no blame could be put on any one but himself, as he and his companion had been drinking heavily. The sad news was sent to his relatives at Salem, and on Sunday his father arrived and took the mutilated body home on the train. The unfortunate young man, William BAUM, who was killed by the freight train near Homewood last Saturday afternoon, was at Palestine earlier in the day. He had stopped here and inquired for Clark MILLER, with whom he had been working with at the Buckeye shops. Some one told him that Mr. MILLER had moved away, when he passed on to Homewood where he met his death. He was an industrious and respected young man, his greatest fault being intemperance. Geo. W. THORNBURG, Esq., a well known and respected citizen of Edenburg, PA, died very suddenly of heart disease while traveling on the cars near Lawrence Junction, Salt, 25th, ult. 20 April 1882 We are grieved to note the death, Tuesday, the 11th inst., of Elma E., the estimable wife of W. W. FORNEY, Esq., of Leetonia. She had been ill for many months of general debility. Manslaughter - At a brawl in Wellsville last Monday week, a man named MCGOVERN, of East Liverpool, was so severely beaten that he died Saturday evening. A warrant was issued for the arrest of his assailant, John ROXBURY, but he is not to be found. Later reports state that ROXBURY has been arrested at McKeesport, Pa., and he will be brought back for trial. Benjamin WELCH, aged 60, drowned himseld in Yellow Creek near Hammondsville, last Saturday morning. Had been quarreling with the "ould lady." 27 April 1882 Mr. John HAAG, a well known citizen of Springfield Township, died at his residence north of New Springfield on Sabbath, April 23rd, aged 82 years, and was buried on Tuesday at the Koch's Church cemetery. He was grandfather to Mr. J. A. MOUGH (sic - MAUCH), of Cannelton. The post-mortem examination of MCGAVERN, the victim of a saloon row at Wellsville, revealed injuries not given by ROXBURY, it is thought. ROXBURY is in jail, awaiting action of court, as no bail would be accepted. The young man feels his situation keenly. Mrs. HAMILTON, of Leetonia, died last Wednesday of enlargement of the spleen. An operation had been performed upon her shortly before death. The spleen was found to weigh 13 pounds. Mr. Jacob SENSENBAUGHER, an old and respected resident of New Springfield, Ohio, died on Monday, the 17th inst., aged 82 years. He was buried on Wednesday, the funeral being attended by a very large concourse of people, among whom many old residents were noticable. 27 April 1882 Disgraceful Conduct - A strange and unseemly scene occurred at the funeral of Mr. SENSENBAUGHER (sic - SANZENBACHER), New Springfield, last week, being nothing less than a bitter, vindictive quarrel, over the coffin, and in the presence of mourners, betweem Rev. J. HUMBERGER, of Petersburgh, and Mr. Adam SEIDNER, the undertaker of New Springfield. It seemed Mr. SEIDNER had been engaged to conduct the funeral, while Mr. HUMBERGER was to conduct the religious services. Upon Mr. H's arrival at a rather late hour, he assumed the management of the funeral, which assumption was positively objected to by the undertaker. This led to a fiery war of words, during which the Reverend gentleman is said to have vigorously pounded on the coffin by way of emphasis! The upshot of the affair was that Rev. HUMBERGER ordered the funeral to proceed to the church, but as none would follow his lead, he was obliged to proceed alone to the church and there to wait, nursing his wrath, until the funeral arrived. 4 May 1882 Mr. David FREW, father of James K. FREW, of the Lisbon Journal, died in his home in Slippery-rock Township, Lawrence County, Pa., on Saturday, aged 78 years. He was stricken with paralysis several days before death. Another Horror - A young man named Wesley LANGSTAFF, employed at the Perry stove works, Salem, Ohio, was run over by an east bound freight train at Columbiana a little before midnight last Saturday, and so mutilated that he could not be recognized except for his clothing. It appears he had boarded a freight train, and got off before reaching Columbiana. He was walking on the track, when the second section struck him. He was thrown on the track and run over. The top of his head and face were literally crushed off, and death was instantaneous. The body was taken home to Salem on the Sabbath and buried the same day. 11 May 1882 A Horrible Death - A telegram was received here on Monday, by Mr. Silas BORTNER, from Greenville, Pa., stating that his father, Phillip BORTNER, had been killed that day. The deceased worked in a saw mill at Sheakbyville, Mercer county. He was in the act of adjusting a log when he slipped and fell on the saw. One arm was sawed off and his head almost severed, causing instant death. Mr. BORTNER started on his sad errand from here on the next train. Issac GARRETT, an old and respected citizen of Leetonia, died last Sabbath night, of measles. The remains were brought here Tuesday and buried at the Palestine Cemetery. --=======72B12E29======= Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; x-avg=cert; x-avg-checked=avg-ok-279E336B Content-Disposition: inline --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
