In an effort to rescue her three-year-old girl from her
burning home Mrs. Sarah MCGINNIS was burned to death at
Champion,
north of Sturgeon, early Saturday morning.
The child had been carried from the burning building by
Charles
MCGINNIS, aged 14 years. The father,
Peter MCGINNIS, is an oil pumper for the South Penn Oil Company
under
Aaron
STEELE. About 5 o’clock Saturday
morning Charles MCGINNIS was using oil to start a fire in the
kitchen. The oil became ignited and
the boy hurried
to the door to throw the can out. The
flames burned his hand and the can fell to the floor.
The oil exploded as soon as the can hit the floor and in
less
than a minute the room was a mass of flames. Mrs.
MCGINNIS
and
seven of the children were on the second floor.
The mother was in the act of dressing.
The
children were still in bed.
Charles ran to his mother’s room. The
first
child
carried
from the building ran to notify the father, who was
pumping about
a mile from the home. After the
flames
made it impossible to carry the children from the house a ladder
was
secured
and the frantic mother carried the children to the open window
where
the son
took them and carried them to the ground.
Mrs. MCGINNIS was almost overcome after having rescued all
the
children,
and stepped on the ladder to climb down.
The fire by
this time commencing to burn away the flooring in the second
story. As the mother gathered her
children about
her she failed to notice her youngest daughter.
The
distracted
woman shouted, “Where is baby?’ and darted back
into the burning building. The
children
stood watching their mother face the flames.
It was the last seen of her alive. Mrs.
MCGINNIS
was in her forty-sixth year.
Her maiden name was COUSINS. She
was
the mother of nine children and was respected by all who knew her. By dint of hard work and good management
the
family had acquired their own home, which is now laid in ashes. Against a loss of about $1,500 there is
but
$800 insurance. The
heart-rending accident cast a gloom over all the community. Funeral services were held Sunday

John MORROW, one of the most prominent educators in Allegheny
county,
died at his home at 3287 California Avenue, Allegheny, at 6
o'clock
Monday morning, aged 79. He had suffered from malignant
stomach
trouble for some time. The members of his family wee at
his
bedside when the end came. Mr. MORROW was born on the old
George
ROBB farm,
near Midway, Pa., June 18, 1835. His father was Alexander
MORROW. He received his education in the public schools
and in
the Paris Academy of Washington county. He attended the
Mansfield
Academy at Mansfield, now Carnegie, Pa., and spent four years in
the
State Normal School at Millersville, Lancaster county, Pa., from
which
he was graduated in 1865. Mr. MORROW was one of the men
who heard
the address
made by Abraham LINCOLN at Gettysburg, November 19, 1863, and
until the
time of his death was able to remember almost word for word the
greater
part of the memorable address. So close to the President
was Mr.
MORROW the day the address was delivered that he had often
contradicted
the statement that the President's address was written on a
piece of
untidy waste paper he had picked up in the car on his way from
Washington to Gettysburg, and in an article written for an
educational
monthly Mr. MORROW gave a vivid description of the address
delivered on
the great battlefield an said he was close enough to the
President
throughout his talk to touch him had he desired. Mr.
MORROW
enlisted in WICKERSHAM's regiment of the
Federal army in 1863 and was sent to the reserve corps at
Gettysburg. He never took part in an actual battle, but
served in
the reserve corps until the close of the war when he as mustered
out. He then returned to the Millersville Academy, where
Co.
WICKERSHAM was president. His administration as
superintendent of
schools of old Allegheny was
quiet and unobtrusive. His work was noticeable especially
for its
closeness to the schools, his actual personal knowledge of
teachers and
pupils and the value of their work. He was unassuming in
manners,
easily approached and was familiarly known to teachers and
pupils
throughout the North Side for years as "Uncle John." This
greeting was not confined to teachers and pupils, but all his
associates and friends addressed him in the same manner.
Within the last year the old Davis avenue
school on
the North Side was named the John MORROW School in honor of the
educator. His pleasing personality won for him many
friends and
his cheery smile greeted any person who called at his office.
Mr.
MORROW leaves his widow, Serepta R. MORROW, and
one brother, Alexander MORROW of Bellevue. He is also
survived by
four step-children, William A. MORROW of Edgewood, John R.
MORROW at
home; Hugh B. MORROW of New York, and Mrs. William BREITWEISER
of
Bellevue...
Mr. MORROW long had been actively identified
with
the education interests of Allegheny county, his first school
being on
the South Side. In 1868 he was elected principal of the
old Forth
Ward school, Allegheny, where he served in that capacity for 14
years. In 1882 he was elected superintendent of the
Allegheny
Public Schools and when the new school code was adopted he
became an
assistant district superintendent. In 1897 he married his
brother's widow, who was Miss Serpta GILCHRIST of Keen, Ohio,
before
her first marriage. The farm in North Fayette township on which
William
BERNHART resides was owned by Professor MORROW. The
funeral
services were held in the Eleventh U. P. Church on Wednesday
afternoon. Interment was made in Robinson's Run

The body of Harry Campbell SOURBER was found
early last Friday morning on the railroad track west of McDonald
station, cut
in two.
The
unfortunate young man was 17 years and 10 days old. He was
an
employee of a canning factory in Chillicothe, Ohio, and
it is thought that he had come here on a fast train or freight,
and in
jumping
off fell beneath the wheels. Evidently
it was his intention to visit his friends here, the family of
Squire
COOK, with
whom he made his home when a child and who had treated him as one
of
their
own. The lad’s father died about twelve
years ago and the mother, who followed nursing for a livelihood

Sunday morning at 7:55 the Death
Angel
visited the home of
Mr. and Mrs. August WEITZEL of
North avenue, and removed there from
the beloved
mother, Mrs. Teressa WEITZEL. Her death was not unexpected, as she
had
been a
sufferer for some months. Just eight
hours later the community was shocked with the information that
death
had again
visited the sorrowing home. At 3:20 p.m. August WEITZEL, the
husband
and
father, closed his eyes and went into the great beyond to join his
beloved
companion in life. Mr. WEITZEL had been
sick only a few hours and his illness was not considered serious,
being
attributed to worry over the illness of Mrs. WEITZEL, whom he had
attended
constantly. August
WEITZEL was born in Berlin, Germany on Feb. 5, 1839, and at the
time of
his
death was 66 years, 8 months, and 9 days old.
Mrs. WEITZEL was born in the same city on the 9th
day of
November, 1838, and was 66 years, 11 months and 5 days old.
From
infancy the two were playmates and
attended the same school. Mr. WEITZEL
learned the blacksmith trade, and in 1865 was married to his
childhood
playmate. They resided in their native city
until 1869 when the emigrated to America, settling first at
Pittsburg,
remaining there for about eleven years, when they moved to this
vicinity where
they have since resides. In 1902 Mr.
WEITZEL in company with his two sons engaged in the livery and
feed
business at
this place and was active in this pursuit until his death.
He was
a man beloved by all with whom he
bore acquaintance. His genial pleasant
greetings will be missed by his large circle of friends and
acquaintances. Mrs.
WEITZEL was a very tenderhearted and self sacrificing mother and
made
many
friends her by her kind disposition. They
are
survived by five children, Richard G., August, Miss Anna, William
and
Mrs. G.
L. DUCRAY, all of whom are residents of McDonald. Early in life

John
W. WILES spent but a short time in school,
entering the oil fields when young. He continued in the oil
business and up to the time of his death he had interests in West
Virginia, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. He has been an active,
progressive and useful citizen of McDonald and his fellow citizens
testified their confidence and esteem by twice electing him
burgess,
first on February 16, 1909, and again in 1917. Mr.
WILES was first married about thirty-six years
ago at Mt. Morris in Greene county. Shortly after he bought
an
interest in an oil property south of town and he and his wife came
to
reside in McDonald. Their son Robert was born here. In

Mr. Alexander WOOD died suddenly at his home on the South Side
Friday,
February 4th 1916. Mr. WOOD had not been well for sometime
but
his condition was not considered serious by his friends and his
sudden
death was a great shock to all. Mr. WOOD was born at Motherwell,
Lanarkshire Scotland, Mar. 11, 1879 and came with his parents and
brother Robert to America, arriving May 6, 1800. So
practically
his entire life was spent in this community where he was well and
favorably known as his was a most pleasing personality which made
him a
friend to all. On Oct. 11, 1905 he was united in marriage to
Martha
LYKE, of Midway, Pa., who with one son James is left to mourn his
death. For more than fifteen years Mr. WOOD had worked for the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company having begun his work as a brakeman
July
12, 1900. For some time he had been running between
Pittsburgh,
Pa., and Columbus, Ohio. Mr. WOOD was a son of Mr. and Mrs. R. D.
WOOD
of this place and a brother of Archie WOOD of Arabella street,
William
of Carnegie, Mrs. John JERICHO and Nellie of Detroit, Mich., and
John
at home. In the death of Mr. WOOD his home has lost a devoted
husband
and father, one that it seemed could not be spared but the
Father's
will was otherwise and we are sure that His way is best. The
funeral
services were held at the Robinson Run Presbyterian church Sunday
afternoon at 2 o'clock in charge of the Rev. J. B. CAVITT.
Interment was in the Robinson Run cemetery.
