Saylor, Urias

  Urias Saylor is dead; he was born on what is now the Wilmoth farm, just across 
the river from Meyersdale. He moved to Morrill, Kansas in the spring of 1882. He 
died on Friday September 29th of typhoid fever and pneumonia, and was about 66 
years of age. For a number of years he had charge of what is now the Jacob Peck 
farm. He was a son of Abraham Saylor, who at one time owned both the Wilmoth and 
Peck farms. Urias Saylor was married to Mary Susan a daughter of William 
Beachley of this place. The widow, one son and two daughters mourn the death of 
husband and father. Mr. Saylor had seven brothers, Joseph of Waterloo, Iowa; 
Christian (deceased) of Phoenix, Arizona; Elias and Daniel of Morrell, Kansas; 
Albert of Seattle, Washington; and Dr. Norman of Philadelphia; also three 
sisters, Katy and Susan (deceased) and Mary of Morrell, Kansas married to John 
H. Miller. Besides these there are many relatives and friends that will mourn 
and sympathize with the widow and children. Mr. Saylor by honesty, industry and 
frugality as a farmer and cattle dealer accumulated considerable property and 
leaves his family in comfortable circumstances. Mrs. Saylor was at one time a 
compositor on the Dale City Record of this place, which afterwards became the 
Meyersdale Commercial and she has many friends in this community. She is a niece 
of Dr. and Mrs. McKinley of 203 Salisbury Street.
