ASA A. BEEGHLEY

Confluence, Pa.

  Word was received here recently of the death of Asa A. Beeghley, a former 
resident of this place.  He was 50 years old, and a resident of Cumberland, Md., 
where he was in the employ of the Western Maryland Railway.  He was killed on 
Saturday, June 20th, by falling between the cars of a moving train in the 
Ridgeley yards of the company, opposite Cumberland, in West Virginia.  Both his 
legs were badly crushed and he was injured about his head and body.
  He is survived by two sons, Aubrey and Park, and by one daughter, Katherine, 
the latter, the youngest of the children, being 17 years old.  Mrs. Beeghley 
preceded him to the grave about four months ago.
  He was employed for several years, about 12 years ago, on the Casselman Valley 
Farm near here; and operated a milk route in Confluence at that time.
  He was a native of Accident, Md., where funeral services were held last 
Tuesday morning in St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Rev. A. B. Harper, the pastor, 
officiating.  Interment was made in the Accident Cemetery.
