GARRETT C0UNTl4N KILLED.
SON Of Fir. and Mrs. Dennis Glover, G:
Hutton, net With Tragic Death
Sunday.

Last Sunday morning at an early
hour Campbell, aged about twenty-one
years, son Of Mr.. and Mrs. Dennis
Glover, of Hutton, was killed at the
west end of the tunnel at Tunnelton.
West Va.
The unfortunate young man was en-
ployed as brakeman by the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad Company and was in
the discharge Of his duty as hagman
at the point above named when help
ing engine returning from pushing a
train through the tunnel backed down
over him, killing him instantly.
The body was brought to his home at
Hutton Sunday after having been pre-
pared for burial at Grafton and the in
terment was made on the Cornell farm

DEATH OF SAMUEL J. BEACHY.
Prominent Resident of Gran;svilIe
Passed Away on Last Friday.

Samuel J. Beachy died in Grantsville
on the 18th Of July, 1906, of long i'll
ness, in his 8lst year. He leaves a
widow, Rohamma, daughter of Rev.
Henry Knepper. The two were suit
ably married in 1854, with an unbroken
union of 81 years-two years beyond
the golden fifty" He was the third
son of the late John Beachy, born in
Somerset county, Pa, but came with
his parents to the we'll known Beachy
farm near McHenry in Garrett county
in 1S4O. There all the family of nine
children grew to maturity.
The deceased leaves two living broth
ers-Jonas j., of Mount Nebo, and Dr..
Gideon j., of Cumberland, and two sis
tiers, Sarah, wife of Jacob Gnagey, and
Susan, wife of Edwin Hirshberger, all
worthy and most respected persons.
The deceased left six living children;
three sons, and as many daughters. The
sons are Leander, Charles and Ward.
two of whom are veterinary surgeons Of
prominence and one recently an active
evangelist. The daughters are Lucinda,
wife of David burst, and Jennie, wife
of Michael Nathan, and Ella, single.
He had not been in any active bust
ness for some years before his death.
but in a general way was quite a useful
citizen Of the place where he resided
for so many years. He was county
commissioner of old Allegany county
some years after the war; elected to the
legislature by Garrett county in 1879.
He was faithful legislator, was not an
Office seeker or an officious politician
tho his political prin iple opinions were
firm and decided.
In the death of Samuel J. Beachy
Garrett county has lost one of its best
known, and most useful citizens, loss
that will be long felt by many. He had
bright and perceptive mind, with a
clear and ready judgment, always pru-
IDENTIFY and practically used. In temper
ament warm, lively and friendly: never
unkind OR offensive, always more ready
to oblige than to offend or displease,
with sociable neighborly and compan-
ionable disposition. And such was Sam
uel John Beachy, during his four score
years and more, now upon his unending
rest in the Grantsville cemetery.
