DIR. THOMAS H. WEST.
At his residence in Keyser. W. Va,
Wednesday, July 18th, Dr.. Thomas H.
West died at the age of about seventy
years. This was the only living son of
the four boys of Capt Truman West.
Nearly one hundred years ago, soon
after his marriage. Capt. Truman West
moved from Frederick county, and loeat-
ed near Accident in that part of Allie
gany which was subsequently included
in Garrett county. All this comfortable
homestead four sons and two daughters
grew to maturity. When the storm of
the Civil war approached IN 1861, Capt.
West, though living in q Southern lati-
tude, did not sever his allegiance to the
Union while all Of his sons gave sym
pathy to the seeding States. Young
Thomas West employed an early oppor-
tunltv to connect himself with the med
ical department Of the Confederacy for
service until the close of hostihties in
the spring of 1865. He then further ap-
piled himself to the study Of medicine
and gained a diploma in the Medical In
stitution of Philadelphia. For practice
in his chosen walk he settled in New
Greek, now Keyser, W. Va, and at
once embarked in pursuit which ended
only with his life. At the Threshold Of
his professional career he was married
to Miss Fanny Hennen, of New Greek,
and to that union was born one son,
dying in infancy, and five daughters, all
married. About the year 1892, Mrs.
West died. and ten or more years later
the doctor married a Miss Hoffman, of
Allegany county, who survives him
without issue.
In the character of DR.. West some
very excellent elements were embodied,
He was of we'll controlled habits and
conservative temperament, scrupulously
guarded from excuses and deferential
to the opinions of others. Close in ap-
plication and successful in treatment,
he quickly established substantial
practice and achieved a commanding
position among the foremost practitioners
of his community. 1t is said he was so
lenient to patients of scant means as to
leave along the whole course and wind
ing of forty years from place to place
the bloom and fragrance of a charity
that will speak for him as he never
spoke for himself.
For several years DR.. West had been
in wasting health but his numerous
friends in Garrett will be grateful to
hear that the end did not follow pro-
tracted suffering and that the final
change was quick and peaceful. On
Tuesday he was in his accustomed
health and spirits, making visitations
until late that day. In the night he was
restless and by the early hours of Wed
nesdaY morning alarming heart action
was succeeded by tranquil death.
In the final rites mere eloquent testi-
monials made clear by bowed heads and
subdued voice of a great throng gather
ed there from the community and from
neighboring counties and states. Fun
eral solemnities were conducted by the
clergy of the several denominations in
Keyser, and the remains were followed
to the cemetery of that town by. per-
haps, as large and imposing a process
sion as ever honored the memory of a
heYSer resident. RELLIM.
MRS. HENRY WINTER.
Died, in the Hoffman Hospital. Kew
ser, W. Va, Sunday morning, July IS,
1911, from complication of maladies,
Mrs. Alice Winter, wife of Mr.. Henry
Winter and daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
William Comp of Swanton. This young
couple was married only about three
weeks-how quickly can the fullest
sunshine fade in the deepest cloud.
