Engle, Norman

VICTIM OF THE BLIZZARD

  On Monday Norman Engle of Salisbury was in town. The trolley cars not running 
he started to walk home. When he reached Nicholson's store at Vim, he was told 
that the roads were badly drifted. He then took the trolley tracks and when he 
was within sight of Howard Miller's residence he left the track and the 
supposition is that he intended to stay there, being exhausted. The family was 
alarmed that Mr. Engle, who is 70 years old, did not return home, nor had any 
word been received of him. On Tuesday evening a 5:00 he was found in an 
unconscious condition in the shanty in Howard Miller's sugar grove. Dr. A. M. 
Lichty of Salisbury was at once summoned, who gave him all possible attention. 
Mr. Engle however died yesterday morning at 5:00 o'clock. While Howard Miller 
was on his way to the Keystone Mines he saw a suit case outside the sugar camp 
house, and also heard groaning within. On entering he found Mr. Engle in an 
unconscious condition. He was taken to Harvey Wahl's home where he died. He was 
married to Margaret Beveridge in 1873, and is survived by his wife and the 
following children: David of Salisbury, George of Greensburg, and Rev. Chas. S. 
of Mercer County; Miss Bertha, Norman and Jesse at home. He was a member of the 
Evangelical Church, and a member of the M. C. Lowry Post, G. A. R. of 
Meyersdale, which will attend the funeral in a body on Friday afternoon when the 
funeral will be held. The pastor of the Evangelical Church will officiate at the 
services. Mr. Engle was on his way home from a six week visit to Greensburg.
