Garrett, County Young Lady Drowned

Miss Pearl Fraley, the Il year old
daughter of Mrs. Falten Fraley, of this
county was drowned while wading in
the Little Savage river in this county.
Miss Fraley had gone for berries with
a number of Young people, and after
they had filled their buckets and being
near the stream, they decided to go
wading for short time. Miss Fraley
was the first to 90 in the river, and had
only gone about three feet when she
fell into water hole about ten feet
deep, and despite the frantic efforts of
her companions to save her, the gnl
was drowned.
The body could not be recovered
without the aid of graphing hooks, and
these were secured from a neighboring
farmhouse, and the body was taken to
her mothers home, which is about six
miles from Homecoming.
She is survived by her mother and by
several brothers and sisters. Her
father was killed several years ago by
being run oyer by railroad train.

This reaper sickle has fallen on our
town once more. OF late months he
seems to have been busy among US.
He seems to love shining lights. This
time he has taken one of the older
members of our community. but one
who was highly respected. He has
answered the last roll call He has fought
his last battle; he has gotten the vic
tory and has laid aside his armor IN
readiness for his crown.
David Young Morris Was born April
4th, 1912, on farm near kingwood,
being a son of Reuben and Margaret
Ellen Morris. At the early age of Is,
he heard his cOuntry's call and enlisted
in the Federal Army in 1861 and served
throughout the war. The privations
and hardships of army life were borne
without complaint. That was part of a
soldiers lie and like a good soldier,
which he was he endured hardship. He
was member of Company B, 18th
West Virginia Infantry. Under Gener-
al R. B. Hays he was IN the campaign
which covered portions of West Vir-
GINA and with his regiment he was
afterw ards transferred to the Shen-
doah Valley in Virginia, where he served
under Sheridan in the Valley campaign
No man could pass through that expert
ence without knowing what a soldiers
life meant. But Young Morris had in
him the stuff that makes good soldiers.
After four years of this strenuous life,
during which time he held, not his life
dear to himself, but was willing to lay
1t on the altar of his country as a sacri-
flee, he was honorably discharged at
Wheeling, W. Va, in 1865. At once he
resumed the peaceful occupations and
the quiet of home life and after three
years he was married in November 1868,
toMiss Mary Eleanor Byrne, of King
wood, w. Va. For thirty-six years
they fought the battles of life together,
when on October 4th, 1904, she was
summonsed up higher and he was lett
to tread hfe's pathway alone, yet not
alone, for his daughter did what she
could to brighten his later years.

THE PASSING OF A PIONEER.
In the death of Mrs. Sarah Thomp-
son Spiker, July 3lst, 1915, Garrett
county has lost a resident, whose long
span of life comprised the many
changes which have taken place in this
mountain region, since her birth in the
year 1882, April 10th.
Born in the quaint log house, still
standing on the paternal acres two and
one half miles from Oakland, she came
on the scene ere Oakland was dreamed
of, before railroad was heard of, and
while the once famous North West Pike
was still unsurveyed or planned for.
The highways then travelled were
mostly bridle-paths leading here and
there to the far separated homes of the
early settlers, around which a few acres
