Death of Henry w. Schaidt.


Henry W. Schaidt had died that day
at Denver, Col.
Mr.. Schaidt was the editor and
owner of the Homecoming Recie,o and
business manager of the Cumberland
Ne'os. His connection with the Reciep
began in 1854, and with the Nesos in
1891.
Last March he contracted q deep
cold which developed into serious
lung affection. He went west by easy
stages-to Denver next to Colorado
Springs. At the latter point he i'm
proved so materially that friends
thought his recovery was assured.
Evidently this was a delusive hope
the hand of death had marked him for
its own.
His faithful wife, daughter of the
late Alexander Sloan, came eastward
during the fall, leaving him at Denver
among careful, watchful friends. Re-
turning, Mrs. Schaidt was taken i'll
at North Baltimore and was, therefore,
away from his bedside when he died
a circumstance which renders her grief
well nigh inconsolable.
Her brother, Duncan J. Sloan, went
at once to Denver, and on Wednesday
of this week reached Cumberland with
the remains. Thursday morning early
funeral services were held at the
Presbyterian church; thence moved
to Allegany cemetery, Frostburg, and
inferred
Both in Cumberland and Frostburg
the attendance was large, including
delegations from the several beneficial
organizations of which Mr.. Schaidt
was member. Numerous floral offer
ings also attested the regard and SYM
pathy of friends. The most con.
spicuous of these was large gilt in
clined pen supported by a staff trim
med with Roman hyacinths-the offer
ing of his editorial brethren.
The same body constituted the active
pail bearers Henry C. Rank, of the
Homecoming Reoietc C. E. Hambright,
of the Daily Neps ; Capt. w. E. Griffith
and John f. Preusse, of the Cumber-
land Erie Presse;: j. B. Finan. of the
Cumberland INDEPENDENT; E. r. John
ston, of the Cumberland Courier Col.
John w. Avirett, of the Cum oerland
Daily Times, and J. B. Oder, of the
JOURNAL.
A meeting followed at the JOURNAL
office. The appended paper was
adopted and Messrs. Avirett, Griffith
and Johnston designated to carry out
the last resolution:
WHEREAS, In the order of providential dis
pensations our late associate Journalist,
Henry w. Schaidt, has departed this life it
is deemed meet by those who best knew him
to attest in some formal way their high
estimate of his character and to deplore the
loss which journalism and citizenship sustain
in his death therefore, resolved
L, llldl MS ne ana WOrk, though Drlef,
furnish us with IAN example of modest worth
fired to noble ends"-a career inspired by
high sense of honor. and distinguished by
unvarying integrity and untirlng industry;
that he was one of those whose ambitions
are graces; whose enterprise is the saving
grace of business life, and whose tolls are the
devotions of good ctizenship-one, indeed,
whose earnestness in his profession was
exceeded only by his amiabilltv as gentle
man.
2. That the untimely loss of one who had
thus adorned our profession is an occasion of
unaffected sorrow to the press of the county
and
3, That we are thus peculiarly imbued with
sympathy for those whose bereavement is
founded upon the broken ties of nearer and
dearer relationships.
4, That copy of this paper, engrossed, be
transmitted to Mrs. Schaidt, and the news
papers be requested to publish it.
