Death of Hosea B. Everly

  COVE, Md., Aug. 13 - Hosea Benton Everly, born Aug. 26, 1875, at Bruceton 
Mills, W.Va., passed away at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 6, 1940, in the 
Meyers Hospital, Philippi, W.Va., where he had been a patient for five days, 
owing to a heart disease that he had suffered from for about one year.  Two days 
before his death he was stricken with pneumonia.
  Mr. Everly spent his boyhood days in the Bruceton Mills section, and at the 
age of 13 was baptized and became a member of the M.E. Church at that place.
  When a young man he came to this section with a lumber company and made many 
friends among the people of the Cove.
  In June, 1911, he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Schlossnagle. Left to 
mourn his departure are his wife, a daughter, Mildred, wife of Kester Turner, of 
Clarksburg, W.Va.; a son, Carl Everly, of Oakland, Md.; a sister, Mrs. Leota 
King, of Pittsburgh, Pa.; a brother, Charles Everly, of Lake Lynn, Pa., and a 
large number of nieces and nephews and many friends.
  Funeral services were conducted in the M.E. Church at Friendsville, Friday 
morning, by Rev. Sanford Ryan of Brandonvile, W.Va.  The pallbearers were some 
of his very best friends - Ira Frazee, Morgan Fike, Erwin Jenkins, Lewis and Roy 
Harmon and Melchor Kolb.  Burial was in the German Lutheran Cemetery at Cove, 
under the direction of Undertaker Winterberg.
