Jessie Friedline of Rockwood Drank Fatal Potion - Survived by Wife and Children

  Jesse Friedline, of Rockwood ended his life at 1:30 Saturday morning, Sept. 5, 
at the home of his brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Pugh, of West 
Patriot Street, Somerset, by drinking poison.  His rash act is supposed to have 
been due to domestic trouble.

O. Railroad since 1923.   He was an extraordinary worker and was liked by all 
that knew him.

time.  When he revealed the fact to others in the house they sent for medical 
assistance and two doctors came, but they were unable to save him.

Pearl and Mary Catherine; his mother, Mrs. Henry Bockes, of Meyersdale, and the 
following brothers and sisters:  Mrs. Richard Pugh, of Somerset; Mrs. Charles
