May be Fatally Injured
Crushed about he hips and pinned for nearly five minutes between the elevator and the first floor of the Feldstein-Levine Company’s store this morning, Hugh Mason, aged about 17, was probably fatally injured. He is at the Cottage State hospital where at noon it was stated his condition is serious. The lad sustained a compound fracture of the pelvis. The bulk of the crushing pressure caught him about the abdomen. Despite the seriousness of his injury the lad, a sophomore in High School, remained conscious and directed the work of those about him who sought ot extricate him. At the hospital a thorough examination was made. If it is deemed necessary an operation will be made this afternoon. Dr. H. J. Coll was in charge of the examination.
Mason has just taken a couple of women to the third floor and had descended to the cellar to oil the armatures. It was just about 9:30 when Mason jumped into the cage and turned on the power. In jumping his right foot caught in some waste and he was unable to get clear of the sides. He was carried rapidly upwards, where he was caught between the elevator and the ceiling. He managed to turn off the power, but was unable to move his position. George Porter was the first to reach him. Girls ran into the street and the crowd which gathered thought the building was on fire. Miss Edna Cook ran into Down’s shoe store where she summoned her brother, Clarence, and J. J. Driscoll. West Ritenour was also summoned and the three tried to pry the elevator door open. Meanwhile the boy lay between the elevator and the floor, calmly giving directions to the men. A crowbar failed to open the cage door so the men went to the cellar where the boy was removed. White as chalk but perfectly conscious, Mason was carried to the front of the store. Dr. L. P. McCormick was called and made a hasty examination and sent for the ambulance. Blood spurting from a boil on the boy’s neck caused people to think he had been struck in the head. His injuries, however, were confined to his abdomen where except for slight bruises, he was unmarked. V. H. Soisson’s automobile carried the boy to the hospital.
Hugh Mason is the son of Henry G. Mason, a Baltimore & Ohio railroad conductor. His father is today out on his run to New Castle. He was informed of his son’s accident this afternoon. Mason is a Sophomore in the High School and works at Feldstein-Levin’s after school and on Saturdays. He is about 17 years old and walks with a slight limp.
Excitement ran high at the store this morning. The hospital authorities found themselves swamped this morning answering calls as to the boy’s condition. Soon after the accident, Father J. T. Burns, of whose church Mason is a member, arrived on the scene having heard a report that the boy had been killed.

Deceased was a son of B & O Conductor H. G. Mason and Mrs. Mary E. Mason, and had resided in Connellsville nearly all his life. He was 16 years, five months and 20 days old, and was a remarkably bright young man. He attended High School and since last August was employed after school hours and on Saturdays in the store of Feldstein-Levine Company. He was popular among the employees of the store and his untimely death has caused great sorrow, not only among the employees of the store, but among his school friends and all who knew him.
Since the accident many telephone calls regarding the young man’s condition were answered by hospital authorities and his room was banked with beautiful flowers sent by the sophomores and other friends. He was the only child of the family.
Many Floral Tributes Sent by Friends
Of High School Boy Who Died
One of the largest funerals held here for some time was that of Hugh J. Mason, which took place this morning at 9 o’clock from the Immaculate Conception Church. Requiem high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father J. T. Burns. The large church was well filled with sorrowing friends and relatives of the deceased. The sophomore class, other members of the High School, and the Holy Name Society were represented. The floral tributes were numerous and very handsome. The High School sent a handsome floral basket, while the employees of Feldstein-Levine Company sent a beautiful piece. During the services the store was closed and all the employees and the management attended the services. The pallbearers were the following members of the Holy Name Society: Regis McGann, Clyde McGann, Bernar O’Connor, John Opperman, Henry Wagner and Gibson Mason.
Recommendation That Cage Be Continued in the Basement
Of Store Building is Also Made
No Inspection Had Been Made for Month
“We find that Hugh J. Mason came to his death as a result of an accident. We recommend that the elevator in the Feldstein-Levine Company’s store be sent to lock at the first floor or descend to the level of the cellar floor and the elevator be enclosed by a screen or boxed in.” That was the verdict reached by the Coroner’s Jury at the inquest into the death of Hugh J. Mason, the 17 year old High School boy who lost his life when he was crushed between the top of the elevator and the first floor landing two weeks ago. The case was in charge of Coroner H. J. Bell of Dawson. The jurors were Edward W. Shaw, William McCormick, George Marietta, Harry Dull, David Stillwagon and J. G. Fenton.

Excerpt from letter from Bill Meason to Bill Hawker,
6225 Catalina Avenue, Oak Forest, Il,
dated January 15, 1929
There is some mystery about Catherine Meason/Mason as indicated in the records. Some of the records show her maiden name as Paull and others as Catherine Martin. Now your bible indicates that Kate Martin and John Meason were married April 1, 1852 it also indicates that she was born May 28, 1821 but a bible record including birth dates of their children which we have indicates she was born May 28, 1828. However the same bible indicates that John Mason married Miss Catherine Paull in 1 Apr 1852 and that he was born in 1821 where as most of the records indicate that he was born in 1828.

Ory W. Mason, 24 years old of the West Side was instantly killed and his companions William Shepherd and James Johnston or Independence, Pa. were injured at Mingo Junction near Steubenville, O., Saturday night when an automobile owned and driven by Mason skidded and plunged over a 16 foot embankment into three feet of water. According to details of the accident received here, Mason was returning from Steubenville, where he had gone to purchase an automobile there. He overtook Johnston and Shepherd who were strangers to him, along the road and asked them to ride. When they reached the bridge the car skidded on the asphalt road and struck the guard railing, which collapsed. Shepherd and Johnston seeing that Mason was losing control of the car, jumped and thought that Mason was thrown out as the car was going over the embankment. His body was found some distance from the car. The machine formerly owned by Dr. W. L. Bailey was wrecked.

Deputy Constable Robert W. Mason, of New Salem, is dead.
Corporal Norman D. MacBeam, Troop A., State Police, of Philadelphia, is seriously wounded; Harry Cain, H. C. Frick Coke company policeman, is shot through the left arm and James Merchant, negro, is shot through the leg, as a result of a raid at House 54 at Continental No. 3, last night. Constable Mason died in the Uniontown hospital at 11:15 o’clock, soon after he was admitted. He was shot through the abdomen.
Constable Mason, Sergeant MacBeam, County Detective Tony Bell, and Constable John Feeney went to Continental No. 3 about 9:45 o’clock last evening to conduct the raid on House 54, where gambling was supposed to be in progress. Deputy Constable Mason, and Constable Feeney stationed themselves at the kitchen door, while Corporal MacBeam, and County Detective Bell went to the front of the house. Officer Cain patrolled the side of the house to prevent escape of any of the inmates via the upstairs windows. At a given signal the front and rear doors were attacked. As Corporal MacBeam entered the house on of two negroes in the downstairs room opened fire with a .45 automatic pistol. At the first shot, Corporal MacBeam fell back against the county detective, drawing his gun as he fell. MacBeam fired on shot with his left hand, but it is not known whether he or Constable Feeney, who also fired, wounded James Merchant, aged 37, colored, who was shot in the left leg.
Officers early this morning wer undetermined whether there were two negroes or only one in the downstairs room when the officers were attacked. Eight negroes, said to have been playing cards in an upstairs room, were arrested and lodged in the county jail. The negro who killed Mason, finding his way blocked through the front door, made a dash for freedom through the kitchen. Mason was in the way and the officer went down with a bullet hole through his abdomen. After shooting Mason, the negro turned and fired in the direction of Officer Dain. The bullet struck Cain as the officer was reaching for his gun. The bullet entered his left arm.
Merchant, the negro, was shot during the melee in the down-stairs room. It being reported that he came from an upstairs room when the shooting started. Mason, MacBeam and Cain were hurried to the Uniontown hospital, followed in another car by Merchant. Mason died soon after being admitted. Mason was shot through the abdomen. He was conscious while enroot to the hospital but realized that he had been mortally wounded. MacBeam was shot through the right chest, the bullet passing through his shoulder and emerging through his arm. Soon after being admitted to the hospital, he was operated upon and cam from under the operation most encouragingly. While his condition is serious, it is not thought that the wounds will prove fatal. He may lose the use of his shoulder. Cain suffered a bullet wound in his left arm. He returned to duty at Continental No. 3 after the wound had been treated at the hospital. Merchant is a patient in the hospital.
Corporal MacBeam rapped on the door of the house and upon being asked who was there, replied: “The State Police, open the door.” When the door was not opened immediately he kicked it in with his foot and stepped into the room. It was then that the negro with the gun opened fire, hitting MacBeam in the shoulder. County Detective Bell, who was following MacBeam into the house, was unable to shoot because his brother officer was between him and the negro. Later he held his fire when the negro went through the rear door in case Constables Mason and Feeney were in the path of fire. As the negro disappeared through the rear door, County Detective Bell dashed around the house and opened fire. The negro and county detective kept up a running fire until the negro disappeared in the darkness. One of the four bullets fired at County Detective Bell missed the officer by inches. A search of the house disclosed a box of .45 automatic shells, the same caliber that was used by the negro in fighting his way to liberty. Officers believe that all the shooting was done by one man. Five negroes, said to have been in the house at the time, were arrested by officers and placed in the county jail. They are Nathan Jackson, W. A. Stokes, Henry Davis, William Burd and Tom Harris.

“Your letter to the Graves Registration Bureau about your cousin was referred to me for action. The troops of our regiment were ordered to cross the Meuse river and canal. After trying several times to get up bridges, which were always blown up by the Germans, a small foot bridge was slung across. Some of Company H’s troops got across in the night. Clyde Matthews was drown, most likely walking off the bridge into the river as the night was very dark. “He was a brave soldier, ready to go ahead no matter how great the danger. The machine gun and artillery fire was terrible and still our men crossed. General Pershing characterized this feat as one of the greatest in history. Men swam the river when no bridges were at hand. It was a glorious deed and you can feel proud to know that your cousin so nobly gave his life. May God bless you.”
Officers elected were: President, R. N. Matthews; secretary, Mrs. Elizabeth Conway; treasurer, Charles Reishel. The history of the Matthews family in this country dates back to 1740. In that year Giles Matthew settled in this vicinity near what is now Trotter. It was then a wilderness. He immigrated from Germany. Mr. Matthews married Miss Margaret Beatty, who was also from this section.

Obituary.
MARY MATLICK.
Mary Matlick departed this life on Saturday evening, the 28th of June, 1845, in the 39th year of her age, her body ripe for the grave and her soul for heaven. She was born in Fayette county, Pa. From thence her parents removed to Preston County, Va., where she was strictly brought up in the observance of the doctrines and rites of the Presbyterian church. Though in early life she was bereft of her father, yet that God who tempers the wind to the shorn lamb, sustained her in that sad bereavement and soon compensated her loss by adopting her in a religious family. She was married to Wil iam [sic] Matlack, who has proved to be a kind and affectionate husband. After becoming the mother of a family she seemed to have her mind much placed on the subject of religion, which was brought on by the death of a beloved child. In the fall of 1835 they moved from their former residence to a place near Evansville, which was in a newly inhabited neighborhood. Religion was then at a very low ebb There was a little class consisting of about ten members, which met weekly at the house of James Jefferys, called the Jeffery's class, his doors then being open for the reception of Methodist preaching. They were taken into the circuit and had regular preaching. Sister Matlick became inter ested [sic] in attending their meetings in April 1837, the Rev. George Monroe then travelling [sic] the circuit. She went to hear him preach, and under his preaching she became more fully sensible of her lost condition. She earnestly sought and satisfactorily obtained the salvation of God in Christ, by the remission of sins and the renewal of the soul in the image of God by the power of the Holy Ghost through faith. She then united herself with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which she adorned the doctrine of God her Saviour by a godly walk and holy conversation, holding the test mony [sic] of a good conscience. As a wife she was attentive, obedient, loving and respectful, which met a return of honor and respect from her husband. In her were found all a mother's care, solicitude and affection, as well as a kind and upright neighbor. By her the house of God was remembered and visited. In her was the temple and habitation of the holy one of Israel, who was a hiding place and refuge through the journey of life During the last two years of her life she was afflicted with a pain in the head. She took the typhus fever, weich [sic] closed the voy age [sic] of mortal life. She was the mother of seven children, four sons and three daughters, three of whom are now in the kingdom of glory. Sister Matlick has left a husband and four children to mourn their loss, with a large circle of friends and acquaintances. She was a woman beloved by all who knew her--a woman whose life is worthy the imitation of all. Well might it be said of her that she was a waymark for the kingdom. She strictly adhered to the directions Paul gave to Titus concerning the things he should teach. She spake evil of no man and was now a brawler, but gentle, showing meekness unto all persons. The Methodist church has lost one of her most worthy members, yet may her life and death prove instrumental in the hands of God in raising up scores of others to fill her place. May God help the surviving friends to be also ready, lest he should come in an hour they think not.

Charles Ruben 'Bus' MATTHEWS (1951-2012)
Charles Ruben 'Bus' Matthews
MT. INDEPENDENCE
Charles Ruben 'Bus' Matthews, 61 of Mt. Independence, Pa., born March 23, 1951, Connellsville, Pa., went to be with his Lord and Savior on June 7, 2012 after a long and well fought battle with his illness. Beloved husband of 43 years to Carole McGregor Matthews and loving father of Mark and John and special friend Jessica Crayton, Ruby and husband Melvin Wolfe; Cherished grandfather of Katie, Shane, Justina, Melanie, Mike, Chrissy and Joey; dear great-grandfather of A'Dianha and McCayla Dawn (born June 7, 2012). He is survived by the following brothers and sisters, Josephine Halfhill, Ray and Linda Matthews, Paul and Karen Matthews, Sally and Dan Hair, Curt and Bonnie Matthews, Julia and Jim Hair, Darlene and Frank Hawk, Gary and Sue Matthews, Perry and Brenda Matthews, Sondra and Scott Rodeheavor and numerous special nieces and nephews; aunts and uncles: Ralph and Joann McClain, Toots and Raymond Lowry and Ernie Wadsworth and several cousins. Preceded in death by parents, William and Jean Matthews, father-in-law Dale McGregor and brother-in-law, Phil Halfhill. He had a special love and admiration for Glenn Bryner, Flo Alkire, all of his garage friends and racing buddies and his wife's family.
He was employed by Anchor Hocking Glass for 16 years before being diagnosed with chronic myelogenous leukemia We would like to thank all of our friends that sent well wishes and supported all of our fundraisers during the last 28 years since his diagnosis. One of Bus' greatest joys was driving his #5 race car at Roaring Knob. He never won a lot of trophies, but the friends he made at the track were worth more to him than any trophy, especially his pit crew. He received more attention than anyone with his large sponsor sign: 'SPONSORED BY WIFE'. His love of hunting was known far and wide. The young boys he helped mold in to great hunters started with his younger brothers, sons, grandson, nephews and dear friends. You weren't considered a good hunter unless you made it to the woods with Bus. He could tell a hunting story like no other. The trips to Wyoming, Colorado and mainly West Virginia with his six brothers and brothers-in-law made stories that will be told for generations. Hunting with Bus was a true adventure. Words can never describe what his garage meant to him. Even the last few weeks when walking became impossible, he would have someone drive him over to the garage. He looked forward to the guys who came for coffee and conversation every day. He so enjoyed his Friday night Blue Grass Music buddies. Bus never learned to play an instrument, but he really enjoyed the music. One of Bus' favorite songs was Amazing Grace which they always made the last song of the night.
From early in the morning until maybe early the next morning if the situation called for it, you would find Bus under a car. The vehicles that passed through his doors were unbelievable. I doubt there is anyone on the mountain that could say they never asked Bus for help in some way on their car, even if it was just a question. He had people show up that nobody knew to have him work on their car. If he had the money for labor (and a lot of times the parts), he would have been a self made millionaire! If you didn't have the money he would just say 'Don't worry, we'll catch up the next time.' One of his dearest friends, Glenn Bryner, has been there consistently for the last 28 years. When Bus had leukemia in 1983, Glenn was there to help him through very difficult times and the good times in that garage. That friendship never waivered.
Bus was truly a man of many talents, but his greatest gift was his word. He always left you feeling you knew you could come to him for anything, and we all did. He was the go to man. Whether near or far, Bus would go the distance and you NEVER had to ask twice. The pride Bus felt of his family can never be described. He loved each and every one dearly. Money never meant a thing to Bus, but mention a family member and the love and pride he showed made him the richest man on earth. So now Bus, you rest high on that mountain, because yes, your work on earth is done.
Friends will be received in the BURHANS - CROUSE FUNERAL HOME, 28 Connellsville St., Dunbar, PA, Sunday, 2-9 and Monday, 12- 9.

Mrs. Edna Newcomer Maust, aged 81, wife of Albert Maust, ended her life Friday morning, November 19, 1926, at her home following a fit of melancholy. Mrs. Maust arose early, prepared her husband’s breakfast, and then when he left the house for his work, swallowed two ounces of carbolic acid. She was found, fully dressed in bed, by her sister-in-law, Miss Catherine Maust, who entered the home at 9:45 when she failed to see anyone stirring. Mrs. Maust only recently recovered from an attack of diphtheria and she has complained on several occasions of a weak heart which she attributed to the anti-toxin injections. Although apparently on the road to health again, Mrs. Maust has appeared dejected and despondent. Friends, neighbors and members of the family tried to cheer her up but to no avail.
The investigation of Coroner S. A. Baltz shows that the woman purchased the fiery fluid at Clark’s drug store on November 13th. She had been sick. It developed, since last February and in October was suffering from diphtheria. Arising as usual at 6:30 yesterday morning the young woman secured breakfast for her husband and kissed him goodbye. There was nothing unusual aobut her demeanor. When the remains were discovered, acid burns had deeply penetrated the mouth and the left foot was also burned where the acid bottle had fallen from her hand.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Maust is survived by her parents of Redstone township and two brothers, Carl and Frank Newcomer. Mrs. Maust worked in the transcribing room at the court house for quite a while and had a host of friends in Uniontown. Funeral arrangements have not been completed.

DIED.
In Springfield tp., Fayette co., on the 20th ult., of Scarlet Fever, JENNIE,
youngest daughter of Ann and John McBeth, aged 3 years and 26 days.
Close softly, fondly, while ye weep,
Her eyes that death may seem like sleep,
And fold her hands, in sign of rest,
Her waxen hands, across her breast.
And make her grave where violets hide,
Where flowers bloom on the green hill-side,
And blue-birds, in the misty spring
Of cloudless skies and summer, sing.
But we shall mourn her long, and miss
Her ready smile, her ready kiss.
The patter of her little feet,
To us her stammer'd phrases sweet.

CRUSHED TO DEATH UNDER HAY BALER
Thomas McBeth the Victim of a
Peculiar Accident Near Scottdale
ONE WHEEL PASSED OVER HIM
Crushing its Way From the Right Thigh
Over His Left Breast—Was Dying When He
Reached the Physician’s Office.
SCOTTDALE, Dec. 3—(Special)— Thomas L. McBeth was run over by a hay baler, weighing four tons, and died three-quarters of an hour later at the office of Dr. E. P. Weddell of Scottdale, where he was brought from the scene of the accident near Edward Werkman’s at Hawkeye yesterday afternoon about 5 o’clock. One wheel of the heavy machine, which was drawn by four horses, ran over the unfortunate man’s body diagonally from his right thigh and across his left breast. The physician could not make any close examination of his injuries as he was in a dying condition and nothing could have saved him since he was literally crushed to death.
The victim of the accident was 35 years of age, and leaves a widow and one child. With Murchison Baird, of near Chains Mill, west of town, McBeth was employed on the W. R. Byers farm near Tarr, left the John G. White farm, of this side of Connellsville, where they had been balling hay, to go to the Byers place, the machine being drawn by four horses. They came here by the way of Morgan Station and stopped a while in Scottdale. When they left there, McBeth was driving, but later went back and took the seat at the rear of the heavy piece of machinery, an iron seat similar to that on a mower of binder. While passing along the road on this side of Hawkeye he fell from the seat and the wheel of the rear truck caught him. McBeth was extricated from under the baler and brought in a spring wagon to the doctor’s office but he was beyond any mortal aid, and his life soon ended. The body was taken to Owens & Ferguson’s and Coroner C. A. Wynn of Greensburg was notified.
AT SCOTTDALE
Accidental Death Verdict of
Coroner on Death of Thos. McBeth
WILL BE BURIED TOMORROW
SCOTTDALE, Dec. 4— The body of Thomas L. McBeth, who was crushed beneath the eight ton hay bailing machine, when he fell from it where he was riding and the wheel on a rear truck passed over him, at Hawkeye, on Wednesday evening, will be buried on Saturday afternoon in the Baptist Cemetery at Foxtown. Deputy Coroner H. A. McMurray conducted an investigation here yesterday with the verdict that the death was accidental.

Beside a widow and three children there are surviving him the following brothers, Samuel, John, Jacob, of Central, and David, while Mrs. Jacob Hair of Alverton is a sister.

Monoxide Kills Two Men
In N. Beeson Ave. House
Carbon monoxide poisoning yesterday took the lives of two Uniontown men. Killed were Edward R. McCafferty, 56, of 81 N. Beeson Ave., and Alex Zaucha, 42, of 5 MacArthur Terrace.
They were found last evening in the bedroom of McCaffery’s small house at the N. Beeson Ave. address. Deputy Coroner Andrew Haky Jr. said the men died as the result of carbon monoxide poisoning “probably early yesterday morning.”
City police said the deadly gas was created from an unvented hot water tank in the bathroom. According to police, three members of the McCaffrey family came to the police station shortly before 6 p.m. and told authorities they knocked at the locked door of their father’s home but received no response. Police wer dispatched in the scene and gained entry through a kitchen window. The bodies of the two men were found on a bed. From the appearance of the room, police theorized that McCaffrey and Zaucha had been drinking and fell asleep on the bed. Due to the cold weather, the windows of the three-room brick structure were closed, locking the deadly fumes in the home. The hot water heater was located near a wall separating the bedroom and the bathroom. There was a small opening in the wall directly above the heater. Police said McCaffrey lived alone in the house. His family resides at 3 Hadden Place.
A member of St. Joseph’s R. C. Church, Mr. Zaucha is survived by several brothers and sisters including, Mrs. J. William (Helen) Hibbs and Mrs. Stanley (Mary) Krzysiak, both of Uniontown, and Mrs. Thomas (Roberta) Frankhouser, Hopwood. Friends will be received in the Haky Funeral Home, 139 W. Fayette St., today from 7 to 10 p.m., until Tuesday at 10 a.m. when prayer services will be held, followed by additional services at St. Joseph’s R. C. Church, Uniontown.
Mr. McCaffrey is survived by his widow, Mrs. Mary Ellen McCaffrey, and the following children: Mrs. Patrick (Shirley) McDonald and Mary Ellen McCaffrey, both of Cleveland, Ohio, and Mrs. Robert (Patricia) Smitley, Faye McCaffrey and Frances McCaffrey, all of Uniontown; a brother, Frank, also on Uniontown and three grandchildren. Friends will be received in the Speshock Funeral Home after 9 a.m. tomorrow until Wednesday at 11 a.m., the hour of service. Dr. Earl P. Confer will officiate, with burial in Park Place Cemetery.
