Died In st. Louis in 1914, Could
Not Be Located Until Recently
LEFT NEARLY s57,OOO.OO

Members of a Wilson family in
Oakland and in other parts of
Garrett county, all children of
the late Stephen Wilson, of Oak
land, anticipate receiving at an
early date a share of the estate
of an uncle who they had never
seen, the late Charles L. Wilson.
Charles l.. Wilson died in a
hospital in St. Louis, Mo-, Au-
gust "a, 1914, leaving an estate Of
approximately $4,000. He was I'M
married and no heirs could be found
at that, time. Twenty-one years later,
however, through advertisements in
various county papers, members of the
Wilson family here learned that they
were rightful heirs to the estate, and
since that time negotiations have been
conducted through a representative in
Oakland with attorneys in st. Louis
in regard to settlement.
Mr.. Wilson left Oakland in the
year 1886, according to records, first
going to a point in Iowa and later
to St. Louis, where he continued to

LOUISE OFT IS OVERCOME
IN BATH BUT IS REVIVED
Firemen Use InhalatOr and Arti-
fetal Respiration to Bring IL
Year-OId Girl Back to Life
is CAUSED BY GAS FUMES

Louise OFT, II, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Paul OFT, High street, Oakland,
after being overcome by carbon mo-
noxide gas in her bathroom, was
brought back to life early last Satur-
day afternoon by members of the
Oakland Fire Department, using the
inhalator and artificial respiration.
Emroy Bolden, fire chief, who is
also an undertaken, stated the girl
had been dead possible fifteen min
utes before they arrived at the home
after frantic telephone call by the
child's mother. After fifteen minutes
of laboring over her body she respond
ed, began breathing and opened her
eyes but had relapse, and it took
fifteen more minutes before she was
able to breathe regularly. She was
then put to bed to avert danger of
pneumonia.
Her body was discovered by her
brother in the bathtub, in about 6
inches of water. Her head was above
the surface, and DR.. E. l. Baum
gartner, following an examination,
stated there was no water in her lungs
and that he believed she had been
overcome by carbon monoxide from a
gas water tank heater in the room.
Her brother made the discovery after
her mother became alarmed because
of her delay in coming from her
bath.
The call came to the fire depart
ment about 1915 and the following
men responded, Emroy Bolden, John
Sweeney, Frank Browning, DR.. Ralph
L. Kercheval and Wilbur Davis. Boil
den stated she had no pulse, and her
tongue was drawn back in her throat.
It was necessary to pry her mouth
oIssa before beginning artificial res
piration and placing the inhalator over
her face. The men worked in shifts
without a let-up.
Two years ago Mr.. and Mrs. OFT
lost son, aged 8, in a coasting acct
dent here. His skull was crushed.
Their other child, Jennings, is about
IA years old.

HOYEs POSTOFFICE, WHICH
OPENED IN 1865, TO CLOSE
Name Changed From JOhnstOwn
About the Year 1881

Hoyes postoffice, originally estab-
lished in the year 1865 with the late
Daniel Smith as the postmaster, in
charge and then known as Johnstown,
later the name being changed to that
of Hoyes, will cease to exist on Febru-
airy 18th, according to notice re-
Gently promulgated by the Postofice
Department at Washington.
Johnstown as a postofice, had as it's
first executive officer the late Daniel
Smith, father of William A. Smith,
who succeeded him fifty years ago
and was virtually the postmaster I'M
til recently, when he rendered his res
ignarion.
The name of the office, in 1881, was
changed from Johnstown to Hoyes, in
honor of the late Edward Hoye, whose
farm and home was located in that
community.
The closing of the office will mean
that patrons will be served by rural
carrier or the star route carrier from
Oakland, as much of the mail is now
delivered patrons by this means and
will probably not inconvenience any
of those who are now being served by
the Hoyes postoffice.

budget totalling $9,981, S36.98, con-
tingent upon the passage of revenue
measures he suggested, or on increase
in the State tax rate sufficient to pro-
vide funds to meet the proposed dis
bursements. The total of the two bud
gets, if both were passed unchanged
by the legislature, would give the
State $80,637, 973!97 for operating ex-
penses from October 1, 1887, to Sep
TENDER 80, 1889.
In the regular budget the governor
made provision for the full restoration

the habit of drinking heavily for
month.
