HOWARD N. GURLEY

  Howard N. Gurley, aged 46 years, who lived alone in a bungalow at Bowling 
Green, a suburb of Cumberland, Md., on the McMullen Highway, near the Cumberland 
Fair Grounds, was stricken with paralysis on April 18, and lay helpless without 
aid for eight days until his plight was discovered by neighbors last Saturday 
afternoon.  He had almost perished from cold and lack of food and water.  He was 
taken to Allegany Hospital, Cumberland, in a very feeble condition and died 
there on Sunday.  He was a brother of the late Thomas W. Gurley of Meyersdale 
and of Oscar C. Gurley of Cumberland.  Funeral services were held at the home of 
the latter, 519 Louisiana Ave., at 11 o'clock Wednesday morning, Rev. Dr. H. T. 
Bowersox, pastor of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Cumberland, officiating.
