Masontown, Jan. 25--Death has again visited the ranks and called another one
to the old soldiers in the person of Jackson McCann, of Masontown, who died Wednesday
evening, January 20, at his Washington street home and was interred at the Green
Dale cemetery Friday afternoon by Undertaker H.A. Johnson. Services were
held in his memory at the First Presbyterian church by his pastor, Rev. J.B.
Brice. Mr. McCann was 85 years, 7 months and 5 days old at the time of
his death. He is survived by one daughter, Mrs. George Cline, two sons, A. J.
of Fairchance, and Hugh at home, besides a number of grandchildren. Jackson McCann
was a son of Hugh McCann, a soldier of the War of 1812, whose remains lie in
the vacant lot along the Water street on the east side of town. Mr. McCann was
among the first who went out to battle for his country's flag and was in the
first battle of Bull Run, on that notable Sunday of July 21, 1861. He has often
described the battle and the panic that followed. There were thousands who had
gone out from Washington to see the battle, just like people go out today to
see a ball game. Mr. McCann was a hard working man all his life, up until
recent years. He was kindly rewarded by his government with a liberal pension
which enabled him to live comfortably in his own home during his old age.

McCarty-Of the same disease, at the same place, on the 3rd of October, 1863,
Mr. Michael McCarty, aged 60 years and 25 days.
How soon is the father and son, parted on earth, permitted to meet in Heaven—a
few days separated, then united forever. Father McCarty has been an elder
in the Providence congregation of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church for near
twenty years. All loved him, and the congregation joins with the stricken
family in mourning the loss of a wise counselor and a true friend. His
sufferings were severe. But he rejoiced in the Divine favor and supporting grace
on high. May the consolations of the Gospel be granted to the mourning
widow and bereaved children, until they shall join him in that rest that remains
for the people of God. B.

Something About Them, Their Families,
Homes and Circumstances
The unfortunate men were residents of Dunbar and vicinity. They were chiefly of English Irish and Scotch descent, no Hungarians or Poles having ever been employed at these works. Many of them owned their neat little homes and those who were not native born were naturalized. They were a frugal honest body of workmen, and were above the average miners in intelligence and thrift. They were personally known to nearly every resident of Dunbar and vicinity. Almost all were married and fathers of families ranging in numbers from one to ten children. The following gives more in detail the condition of the families left fatherless by the sad calamity.
Article includes individual accounts for each victim. For complete text, see David Davis.
Daniel McCashion was married, having a large family in his native country, Ireland. He boarded with Patrick Bevel, near the mine.

Body of Dunbar Woman,
Missing Four Years, Found
In Mountains by Hunter
Remains of a body found Monday morning by a hunter in the mountains south of Dunbar have been identified as those of Mrs. Lois Virginia McClain, elderly Dunbar woman who had been missing since March 1960. Oliver W. Martin of Dunbar found the remains, partially covered by a coat, at 9 a.m., in Irishtown, in a heavily-wooded area.

Dunbar, June 3, 1904--Commodore Perry McClain died in his home near Old Center Furnace at 11:50 o'clock Saturday night, May 28, of consumption; developed by acute pneumonia, age 59 years. Mr. McClain was a veteran of the Civil War, having enlisted in Augist 1862, in Co. I, West Virginia Infantry Volunteers. He was in many important engagements, and in September, 1864, in an unimportant battle at Wilson's farm, he was so severly wounded in the left shoulder that the humerus had to be removed, leaving no bone in that arm between the shoulder and the elbow.
His life at first was despired of, and the doctor in charge said he would have to take Scott's Emulsion or die. The emulsion would not lie on his stomach, so as regularly as the time drew taking it arrived he deposited the dose of emulsion in the slop jar and he began to improve at once. After nine months in the field hospital he was honorably discharged in June of 1865 "on account of wounds received in battle incapaciating "him for further military service.
Two of his brothers, John and James, were also in the service. After the close of the war, Dunbar Furnace then being built, caused the development of Irishtown ore mines and he came to those mines and in time got married to Miss Hannah Smitley, of this place. To them were born eleven children, nine of whom; Mrs. Kate Stevelison of New York, Mrs. Lottie Weir of Pittsburgh, Mrs. Eliza Carr of Mt. Pleasant, and Mrs. E. H. Walters, Mrs. Clarissa Martin, William, John, Agnes and Harrison of Dunbar, nine grandchildren are living.
The funeral will be held at 1 p.m., from the M.P. Church, the Rev. D.E. Minerd officiating. The old soldiers remains were laid by his fellow comrads to rest in Mt. Auburn Cemetery with honors of war.

Who the Entombed Miners Were, Where and How They Lived and
the Legacies Death Bequeathed to Their Families
A MUMBLE OF WIVES, SISTERS, MOTHERS AND ORPHANS DEPRIVED OF SUPPORT
Of the 51 miners who were in the mine at the time of the accident, 30 escaped through the man-way on the left side of the main slope. The fortunate were as follows, William Landy and two sons, William and Morris Jones, and William Yates, Barney and John Cosgrove, Patrick and Terrance Begley, who are brothers of Richard and Joseph Begley, two of the entombed unfortunates, Maurice Pine, James Miller, John McGuill, John Kerwin, Edward Condron, John Boyd, Thos Kelly, George Lowry, James Murphy and Thomas Shearen. The miners who were in the right heading number 31. Their names were as follows:
Something About Them, Their Families,
Homes and Circumstances
The unfortunate men were residents of Dunbar and vicinity. They were chiefly of English Irish and Scotch descent, no Hungarians or Poles having ever been employed at these works. Many of them owned their neat little homes and those who were not native born were naturalized. They were a frugal honest body of workmen, and were above the average miners in intelligence and thrift. They were personally known to nearly every resident of Dunbar and vicinity. Almost all were married and fathers of families ranging in numbers from one to ten children. The following gives more in detail the condition of the families left fatherless by the sad calamity.

James McClary, aged about 60 years, lived in his own home in Dunbar near the Methodist Protestant church. He kept a little grocery store in part of his house.

DEATHS
McCLEAN— At his late residence in Uniontown, on Thursday, May 11, 1865, JOSEPH McCLEAN in the 85th year of his age. Deceased was highly esteemed, by all who knew him for his sterling honesty and unobtrusive walk and conversation. He was born and raised near Uniontown. His character was that of an honest, moral and upright man. He was not a church member but was raised under Presbyterian influences; his father, James McClean, having been an Elder in the Laurel Hill Congregation more than half a century ago, and his early impressions inclined him in after life strongly in the direction of the Presbyterian faith. His last hours were cheered by the presence of a devoted family in whose midst he died, and in whose presence he expressed a hope of rising to that immortal state in which there is neither sickness, sorrow nor death. Among the many relations and friends who followed the remains to their final resting place was his bereaved wife the companion of his long and honest life in the 78th year of her age, who though separated from him yet a little while will doubtless, ere long, be reunited with him in bonds that have no end.

a member of the Presbyterian church in this place, and having lived an humble
and self-distrusting life, was filled with peace and hope in death.—

Samuel O. McCormick, of New Salem, one of Fayette county's most distinguished and active citizens, died suddenly last night in the Shadyside hospital, Pittsburgh, a few hours after he was suddenly stricken while at the William Penn hotel.
Long recognized as a leader in industrial, financial and school affairs of the county, Mr. McCormick was one of the outstanding citizens of Fayette county. He had not been in robust health for some time but his condition was not regarded as alarming and he went to Pittsburgh yesterday on a business trip. While stopping at the William Penn hotel where he was to meet business associates, Mr. McCormick was suddenly stricken. Friends and hotel attaches immediately went to his aide and he was rushed to the Shadyside hospital where death followed a few minutes after his admission to the hospital. Death was attributed as due to a brain hemorrhage. Mr. McCormick was 59 years of age.
In recent years, Mr. McCormick had devoted his principal attention to his dairy business, his dairy farm being recognized as one of the largest and most modern in Fayette county.
Mr. McCormick was the son of Elliot Evans and Elizabeth J. (Scott) McCormick, and was born in Redstone township on October 3, 1878. After a preparatory education in the schools of his native township he entered Duff's Business college in Pittsburgh. Returning to Redstone township he became associated with his father in the management of the large McCormick farm in Redstone township for two years remaining actively identified with agricultural pursuits. He never lost his interest in Fayette county agriculture and in recent years devoted most of his attention to his farming interests. He was active in agricultural and Grange affairs throughout his life.
In 1892, Mr. McCormick was employed by Jesse B. Brown, of New Salem, and in 1898 he entered the mercantile business and held a position with the Shamrock Supply Company. In 1899 he accepted a position as assistant to construction superintendent of the Buffington plant of the H. C. Frick Coke Company, and later became identified with the Union Supply Company, serving that organization for two years. He also served for two years with the Monongahela Railroad. In 1906 he formed a partnership with Presley Stevenson, under the firm name of Stevenson and McCormick, dealers in feed and builders' supplies. The next year he purchased his partner's interests. In 1921 he helped organize and became president of the Miners' State Bank of New Salem.

Something About Them, Their Families,
Homes and Circumstances
The unfortunate men were residents of Dunbar and vicinity. They were chiefly of English Irish and Scotch descent, no Hungarians or Poles having ever been employed at these works. Many of them owned their neat little homes and those who were not native born were naturalized. They were a frugal honest body of workmen, and were above the average miners in intelligence and thrift. They were personally known to nearly every resident of Dunbar and vicinity. Almost all were married and fathers of families ranging in numbers from one to ten children. The following gives more in detail the condition of the families left fatherless by the sad calamity.

RABIES PROVES FATAL TO BROWNSVILLE TWP. LAD
14 YEAR-OLD BOY
DIES IN HOSPITAL;
WARNING ISSUED

The lad was bitten when he attempted to pet the animal in an automobile near his home.

The wounds healed and the youth had apparently recovered when he was suddenly stricken Saturday morning at his home. In addition to his mother, the lad is survived by several sisters and brothers.

M'DOUGLE—
on the 20th of October, 1965, Mr. Samuel M'Dougle, of Franklin township.
Fayette County, Pa., in the 56th year of his age. He was a good citizen,
a devoted husband, and tender and loving father; and has left many behind
him to mourn on account of his early death. During his last illness he
expressed a strong confidence and hope through the Savior; and said to
some who were with him that he felt that he had nothing to fear in the
future. May God in the riches of his goodness bless his bereaved family
and friends.
“Life's duty done, as sinks the clay,
Light from its load the spirit flies;
While heaven and earth combine to say,
How blest the righteous when he dies.”
William Alexander McDOUGLE ( -1865)
DEATHS
McDOUGLE— Feb. 16th, 1865, of Inflammation of the Brain, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, only son of Samuel and Catharine McDougle, aged 12 years, 6 months and 25 days. At early dawn of twillights’ ray, When the birds awoke to sing their lay, And angels to our cot did fly, And called our lovely boy away. In vain friends round his little bed, Nursed tenderly his form of clay, In vain were tears of sorrow shed, The angel called our boy away. At evening’s close when I am done, With daily toll and anxious care, And bend my weary footsteps home, I meet no little Willie there. Bereaved parents though your loss is great, And seems to hard to bear, oh, dry your tears, And with an humble resignation wait, Until the pallid messenger appears, To send you home, above all trials and fears, Where you shall hail your little one again, In everlasting blessedness your ears, Shall there forever hear his joyful strain, With ransomed millions roll through, Heaven’s wide domain. [composed by SAMUEL A. GRITTS.]
