Pvt. William F. DOWLING
( -1918)
LATE WM. F. DOWLING WANTED
TO GET IN “TANK” SERVICE
Frank B. Luteman of South Pittsburg street, received a letter a few days ago that had been written by the late William F. Dowling in France on May 28, just one week prior to his death from peritonitis. At the time of writing Private Dowling was apparently in the best of health and spirits. He stated that he intended to make application for transfer to the “tank” service, the work he was then doing being “too tame” to suit him. “I want something with more action and excitement.” he wrote.
PRIVATE DOWLING BURIED WITH FULL MILITARY HONORS
Comrade of Connellsville Soldier Writes Details to His Parents.
DIED AFTER OPERATION
Women of Community Now Keep Grave Green; Went Across
Atlantic Last January Along With About 6,500 Others on Olympic
An interesting letter concerning the trip across, work, illness, and burial of Private William F. Dowling of Connellsville, who died of disease in France last June, is that written to the parents, Mr. and Mrs. Richard Dowling, 128 East Church Place, by a comrade of Dowling, Private William Thuee, on Sunday, November 24, Fathers’ Day. The two young men were among 6,500 Americans who went across last January on the White Star liner Olympic. After telling of the trip over the water and through England, he says, the command to which they were attached was quartered at Nevers, France. They were among the first 200,000 to go across.
During the last week in May, Private Dowling experienced intestinal trouble. Treatment failed to bring the desired results and on June 2 he underwent an operation at the hospital at Nevers. He died on the following Tuesday from peritonitis.
Relative to his burial, Private Thuee says:
“Bill was buried with full military honors, the cortege escorted by
our band, playing Chopin’s funeral march, and at the grave, Father
Whittaker delivered final praise for Bill. The father told us that
he had heard Bill’s confession, knew him personally and had learned
to know that he was a good Catholic and an example for all of us to
follow. The grave is situated in the middle part of the cemetery
amidst other American boys who are reposing with him. The French
women take perpetual care of the grave and when I left a small oaken
cross had been erected over it and the sod was commencing to sprout.
I am now in another organization. I am not at Nevers but should I
get an opportunity to go there again, I will visit his grave and if
possible send you a picture of it.”
Of their work at Nevers, Private Thuee speaks as follows:
“In Nevers we did many kinds of duties. We unloaded freight cars,
worked in warehouses, loaded ammunition and in fact did everything
in the way of labor work that any army has to do. This we did while
plans were being made to start the erection of our shops, which were
eventually built at Berneuil, a railroad station about 33 miles
north of Nevers. During our stay in Nevers we met may nice people.
Joe Scarcy, Bill and myself went around together mostly and on
Sundays Bill and I would help the priest, Father Whittaker, to
prepare for mass by carrying the alter and getting the water and
vestments ready. While I served mass, Bill would pass around the
collection hat which money we would give to the Little Sisters of
the Poor, who visited us daily at the camp where they would also get
bread and other eatables which they fed to the Belgian children
orphans.
“A temporary shop was erected by us near our camp and Bill asked to get in the automobile repairing department. He was given a detail and worked in the body repair shop department. I worked in the auto parts department and would often ‘touch up’ Bill for a chew or smoke when I was broke and he would do likewise when he ran out of tobacco. Our band gave a daily concert and daily Bill and I would slip down to hear the band. The reason I mention this is because a soldier is considered a good one if he can put something over on the one above him. So Bill and I put it on our bosses each day by listening to the concert. Seated on a nice shady bench while the others were working.”

On the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad on Tuesday Night
Three men were killed on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad on Tuesday night, one on the Connellsville Division and two on the Fairmont branch. Howard Fauble of Connellsville, a well-known east end freight conductor, was instantly killed while attempting to board his train at Glencoe. John D. Drohan of Uniontown, a brakeman, was jolted off a freight car and run over at Evans station, and Patrick Brady of Lemont fell asleep on the back at that place and was run over.
Fauble had only been working a few days after a lay-off of about two months during which time he had been ill. His train whivh was westbound stopped at Glencoe for orders. He signed them with the engineer and then waited as the train pulled out until the rear end of the train was near. His foot slipped as he swung aboard and at the same time he somehow missed his hold on the car, falling beneath the train. The wheels of several cars passed over his abdomen. Death was instantaneous. Fauble lived on Church place and leaves a wife and one child. Drohan was 22 years old and leaves a wife. Brady leaves a wife and three children.

HUNG TO A FENCE.
West Brownsville Little Girl Caught Between Palings and
Dies a Horrible Death.
Special to the Republican.
Brownsville, Pa., Oct. 7th.— Little Bertha Drotus, twenty-one months old met her death in a horrible manner here yesterday afternoon. She is the daughter of Charles Drotus, a coal miner, living on an alley, which runs parallel with Water and Railroad streets, back of Hotel Province. About 12:40 yesterday afternoon the little tot got down from her high chair, where she was eating dinner with her parents and ran into the alley to play. Directly across from the Drotus cottage is a board fence. The child it appears tried to climb up over the fence. At the point where the attempt was made five boards were nailed to the post. Bertha climbed upon the third rail and stuck her head through the space between it and the fourth rail. The space was but 5 ¾ inches wide and evidently the child trying to extricate herself, lost her balance. She was found a few moments later hanging by the head and dead. A telegraph pole standing near the fence hid the little one from view of the passersby, and it just happened that Emmor Wells, a baker was going up the alley with wagon when he discovered her. Coroner John J. Fitzpatrick was called and viewed the remains, examined five witnesses but concluded that a formal inquest was unnecessary.
Jane DRUM died in 1864. Her obit was contributed to the Fayette County USGenWeb
Project.(11)
DRUM—Mrs. Jane Drum daughter, of John Tiernan Esq. Departed this life after
a lingering illness at the residence of her father in Uniontown, May 28th 1864
aged 24 years and 23 days.
Like so many others, Mrs. Drum had failed up to the time of her illness to prepare
for death. During the afternoon of the 28the the writer by request called
upon her, and found her engaged in reading her bible—By the efforts of kind
friends she had already been led to apprehend her critical situation, and to
turn for peace and salvation to the Lord Jesus Christ. It seemed to require
a great struggle so early in life to give up all worldly ties and prospects,
yet during the religious services she became much engaged in prayer and with
most hearty repentance gave her heart to the Savior. Later in the evening
I again called upon her and found her still more earnestly engaged in prayer
but much relieved in mind and fully able to trust in the mercies of a present
Savior. She continued to the last to pray and to commend her soul into
the hands of Him who has promised to "Save unto the uttermost all that come
unto Him."
Mrs. Drum, has left besides other sorrowing friends, two children to mourn her
early death, but they mourn not without hope—for they know that their loss
is her infinite gain-
"Then let our sorrows cease to flow,
God has recalled his own;
But let our hearts in every woe,
Still say "Thy will be done."

The Genius of Liberty. Uniontown, Pa. June 9, 1864.
FAYETTE CITY, PA., November 17— Our town is agog over a battle for the possession of a corpse. Some years ago Miss Tiernan, daughter of County Treasurer, John Tiernan, deceased was married to Mr. Drum. The husband, soon after the marriage, left Fayette City and nothing heard of him since. After the birth of her little daughter, Mrs. Drum died, and Wm. Kendall took charge of the baby. Some years ago Mr. Tiernan died, leaving some money to Jane Drum, the child of his daughter. He appointed Nathan Brightwell guardian. Mr. Kendall was dissatisfied at the appointment and applied to the court to have it void, but lost his case. Miss Drum in the meantime lived with her foster parents, the Kendalls. Recently she took ill and on Wednesday last died. Mr. Brightwell, her guardian applied to Mr. Kendall for the body, to have it deposited by the side of the mother. Kendall was anxious to bury the body in his own cemetery lot, and refused. This evening Frosher, of Uniontown, who had been appointed administrator of the estate of Jane Drum, applied to Kendall, informing him that if he refused to turn the body over to Brightwell, the Sheriff would come down from Uniontown to-morrow morning and take possession of it by force if necessary. Brightwell’s family resides in Fayette City and Kendall’s just across the line. Both families are highly respected.

Jeremiah DUFF died in 1864. His obit was contributed to the Fayette County USGenWeb
Project.(73)
DUFF - At one of the hospitals in Washington City on the 7th of August, 1864,
from an abcess on the side, caused by wearing the saber belt, Jeremiah Duff,
a member of company B. 16th regiment Pennsylvania cavalry, aged 20 years.
He was taken to the hospital on the 25th of June, and had been in service nearly
two years. Thus has another young man fallen who gave promise of future usefulness;
another home has been made desolate, the hopes of a widowed mother have been
blasted, the hearts of relatives filled with sorrow; and the community robbed
of one of it's most admired and promising members.
Warrior rest & thy toils are ended -
Lifes' last fearful strife is o'er;
Clarion calls, with death more blended(,
Shall disturb thy peace no more,
Peaceful is thy dreamless slumber,
Peaceful - but how cold and stern!
Thou has joined that peaceful number
In the land whence none return.

Brutal Murder
On Tuesday last, about two o'clock, PM, a difficulty or quarrel took place between
"Mike" Dugan and Henry Abel, a member of Captain Weltner's company
—
A fight was proposed and the two started for a lot, they crossed Main street,
and entered the Arch near the McClellland House, where they halted, and Abel
drew a bowie knife and stabbed Dugan several times in the abdomen, and run, Dugan
died of his wounds in about an hour after. Abel was arrested and lodged in jail.
Dugan was rather advanced in years, and was drunk. He leaves a wife and family
of children. Abel is represented as a young man and nearly if not entirely sober.
This is one of the most atrocious and diabolical acts ever committed in this
town, and we hope the miserable wretch may be kept until proper punishment over
takes him.
We understand since that Able had only given his name to Capt. Weltner, but,
was out of camp on furlough.

Death of Captain Duncan
Mr. Editor:--It is my painful duty to inform you that Capt. A. F. Duncan of Co.
B (not sure if it reads "B"), 14th Pa., Cav., died at Winchester, Va.,
on the 26th of September, of a wound received on the 19th inst, when he was leading
a desperate charge on Star Fort.
This youthful and Brave officer, is lamented by all who knew him. He had been
a little over three years in the service of his country, and to comfort his many
friends in Fayette county and elsewhere I can say in truth, he was highly esteemed
by both officers and men from the Major-General, down to the humblest privates
in the ranks, and as his life had been active and useful so his death was calm
and peaceful. He died in the hope and consolations of the Christian faith.

| CAMP RUSSELL | } | |
| Dec. 11th, 1864 |
Mr. Editor:— It becomes by painful duty, to inform you, that another of our brave soldiers, F. H. Duncan, has fallen. He was struck by a piece of a shell, while the regiment was making a charge on the enemy, on the 22nd day of November, at Rood’s Hill but lingered until the 3d inst., when he calmly and sweetly sank into the sleep of death, reposing on the bosom of that Savior, who in his previous life he loved so fervently and followed so humbly and faithfully. He had been in the service some nine months, and from the day he came into the regiment, until the day of his death, his walk and conversation were of the most exemplary character, giving evidence to all which whom he mingled, that the religion be professed, with him, was a living and vital principle, influencing his whole deportment in everyday life, although surrounded by the irreligious and corrupt influences of camp life. His sorrow stricken and bereaved Father, at the summons of the telegraph, came from his far distant home in Iowa, to attend him in the last conflict, and on the 5th inst., took his embalmed body to be interred in the distant prairies of the west. Oh! What a painful vacuum is thus caused in that dear family circle in the short space of about two months, to be called to part with two of their dear sons, first the lamented A. F. Capt. of Co. E, and now his younger brother “Deila,” as he was familiarly called by his associates. In closing this communication I would say to the sorrowing parents, and numerous other relatives, that while they lament the loss of these two youthful, patriot, brave and gallant soldiers, your sorrow is not the “sorrow of those who have no hope,” but only the anguish felt by those who are parted for a brief space, to meet where war and death will never cause the painful separation.
