Simpson, Mable
This community was inexpressibly shocked and saddened by the death of Miss Mabel Simpson, aged 22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Simpson, which occurred at the family residence, last Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock. The immediate cause of death was heart failure, superinduced by lung contraction and general weakness.
Miss Simpson had been in very poor health for some time as a result of a general breakdown occasioned by overstudy while a student at the Elliott Business College, Wheeling, W.Va. One month before her completion of her term of study at that institution she was compelled to return home. Since that time her condition, whlie regarded as serious, was not of a nature to cause alarm and friends were hopeful that she would regain health and strength. During he first of last week however, she failed rapidly and on Wednesday developed alarming symptoms. Her generally weakened condition made the efforts of those who battled for her life unavailing, and death resulted the following afternoon.
Miss Simpson was one of Beverly's most lovable young ladies. Blessed with a gentle and unassuming disposition she endeared herself to the hearts of her friends in the closest bonds of love, and her death brings untold grief into the many homes which she was wont to brighten with the sunshine of her presence. When 14 years of age she united with the Presbyterian church and throughout the remaining years of her life, even almost until the day of her death, was an earnest worker in all branches of church endeavor. The Sunday School, in which she war particularly interested, has lost an active and a most faithful member.
The deceased is survived by her parents and one brother.
The funeral service was held Sunday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church, Rev. T. H. Taylor officiating, and eight young ladies, close friends and associates, acting as honorary pallbearers. The large concourse of sorrowing friends that assembled to pay a final tribute to the memory of the departed, eloquently attested the high regard and esteem in which she was universally held.

Skinner, David W.
Mr. David Skinner, of this county, who was struck by the steamer Courier as she was backing out from Sardis, Wednesday evening, died Friday morning from his injuries. It was the intention of the attending physicians to amputate the leg that was so badly broken, but reaction never set in. Mr. Skinner was somewhat deaf, and it seems he was somewhat careless in pulling out into the river in the dark behind a boat that was liable to pull out any minute. While it is a very sad affair and very much to be deplored, yet is seems no blame can be attached to the officers of the boat.
Wheeling Register, December 9, 1888 (New Martinsville Gossip)
......... Bad Accident on the River
Last evening while D. W. Skinner, who lived on the West Virginia side opposite Sardis, was crossing to the Ohio side in a skiff, he was caught in front of the Steamer Courier and run down. Man and boat passed full length of the steamer and Skinner was terribly bruised and mangled by the paddles of the wheel. However, he had strength enough to hold on to a wooden life-float thrown to him till he was picked up. Skinner is hard of hearing and it being very dark the pilot of the Courier could not see him. Both causes led to the accident. Skinner is a farmer, 65 or 70 years of age, and has a wife and family. His injuries are so serious that it is though they may prove fatal.
Wheeling Register, December 12, 1888
One evening last week as the Steamer Courier was backing out from the Sardis wharf, her wheel struck and capsized a skiff containing Mr. D. W. Skinner, a prominent citizen of Wetzel County. One of Mr. Skinner's legs were broken and he was otherwise seriously injured. He may not survive.
Spirit of Democracy, December 13, 1888
Mr. D. W. Skinner, the man injured at Sardis by the steamer Courier, has died. It seems that he was quite deaf and was rowing with his back towards the steamer when his skiff passed under the wheel. He was a resident of Paden's Valley.

Smith, James J
James J. Smith, 61, Well Known Local Citizen, Expires
Coming after a ten days illness of heart trouble, death removed from Moundsville, Sunday evening, on of its well known and popular citizens, when James J. Smith closed his eyes and dropped into a peaceful rest which will extend through eternity.
Although in failing health for the past several months, Mrs. Smith had been going uncomplainingly and cheerfully about his work and duties, and his condition was not considered serious until the last few days, so that news of his death comes as a shock to his many friends.
Born in Paterson, New Jersey, February 6, 1871, james Jefferson Smith was the son of James Wood Smith, a native of England, who came to this country in 1859, and who fought four years in the Union army during the Civil war; and of Prudence Wilkinson Smith, a native of Pennsylvania.
While in his youth Mr. Smith learned the bottle blowers trade which brought him to Ohio. Later he attended school at St. Vincents at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where he became interested in mechanical engineering and a great supporter of athletics.
After his marriage Mr. Smith came to Moundsville, where for several years he was employed by the United States Stamping Company. Later he became connected with the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which connection he kept until his death, excepting a position he held at the prison during Gov. Cornwell's administration.
Interested in young people, their sports and their pleasures, he was well liked and popular with all the youth with whom he came in contact. He always entered into their sports with zeal, and from 1902 until 1906, he, with William McSwain, coached and managed the Moundsville Shamrock football team, a team never defeated.
Possessed with a pleasing personality, genial manners, and always a smiling face, mr. Smith became well acquainted with a great number of citizens of this city during his thirty years residence here.
A loving and considerable father of his children, a faithful and devoted husband to his wife, and a staunch supported to his friends, it may be said that his life was unselfish in its service for others.
Politically a Democrat, Mr. Smith formerly took a very active part in city, county, and state politics, and he served his party in various capacities. Of late years his work required the larger part of his time, and he became less active in politics.
Affiliated with fraternal organizations in this city, and with railway organizations, Mr. Smith's associations took him to different parts of the state where he made many friends.
An active member of the Calvary methodist church, mr. Smith was always mindful of his spiritual welfare. He was also a member of the men's Bible class of the church.
His wife, the late Sallie V. Smith, whom he married in Ohio in 1898, preceded him in death August 9, 1930. To this union were born five children. Two who have preceded him to the grave. Two sons, Raymond and Gerald both at home, and one daughter, Mrs. Frank Pond, survive. Two sister and two brothers also survive.
The body will be removed from the Lutes mortuary to the late home on northern Hickory avenue this evening. Funeral services will be conducted from the home, Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. L. E. Resseger of the Calvary M.E. Church in charge. Interment in Mount Rose Cemetery.

Streeter, Frank
Died: "Another Sudden Death" - Frank Streeter, aged about 30 years, son of D.R. Streeter, of Kiowa, a well known cattle man, died, very suddenly, at his home 12 miles east of Keystone Station, Indian Territory, Friday morning, April 25th at 7 o'clock. He was out milking and without complaining previously, he fell forward, unconscious. His brother-in-law, D.T. Flynn, postmaster of Guthrie, Ok., was there with his family and they and Mrs. Streeter were aroused and at once endeavored to restore life to the unfortunate. A man was dispatched to the railroad to telegraph for a doctor, and Mr. Flynn walked six miles to the nearest camp for medicine. Mrs. Flynn and Mrs. Streeter spent the entire forenoon applying hot cloths to the inanimate form, but death had probably claimed its victim when he fell over unconscious. The father of the deceased and Dr. Cloud went down from Kiowa, Friday, but they could do no good. The physician said the cause of death was rheumatism of the heart.
The body was taken to Kiowa, Sunday, and after services by Rev. Holliday, it was laid away in its last earthly resting place. Deceased was well known to all early residents of Barber county, and he commanded a host of friends. Five years ago he was married to Miss Fannie Blanton, one of the most popular ladies of the county, daughter of Hon. N.B. Blanton, of Hazelton. Of this union one child, a pretty girl now four years old, was born. Besides these, deceased leaves a father, mother, two sisters and a brother to mourn his untimely departure.
