William F. Gault
Scottdale, May 21— William F. Gault, one of the grand old men of Lower Tyrone township, died at the home of his son, Amni Gault, at Summit Mines, surrounded by the members of his family, at 8 o’clock Sunday morning, after a protracted illness, aged 68 years, five months and 19 days. Mr. Gault had been in ill health for some time, but a few days ago started from his home, near Tyrone Presbyterian Church, to visit his children. His condition became serious and then he recovered so that it was expected last week he could be removed to his home. However, another change in his condition forbade this and on Saturday it was plain that he could not long survive. By occupation he was a farmer. He was a soldier in the Civil War, serving with distinction in the 81st Pennsylvania Volunteers. He was for many years a ruling elder in the Tyrone Presbyterian Church, a man gentle and beloved by many. He was a son of the late Joseph Gault and a grandson of Matthew Gault, who settled in Lower Tyrone township sometime before 1793. Matthew Gault, with William Chain and William Smith, was one of the three trustees of the Tyrone Presbyterian Church who secured in 1800 from Abraham Kent and his wife, a deed to the ground on which the church and cemetery was located the title having been lost through the vicissitudes of frontier life. The deceased was a brother of Dr. M. B. Gault, formerly of the Markleton Sanitarium, who died in Florida some months ago, and Dr. Gault, also deceased, who practiced medicine in Westmoreland county. William F. Gault is survived by a widow and the following children: Matthew Gault, of Tyrone Churca, employed by the Union Supply company at Summit; Joseph of Fairchance; Robert, at home; Amni B., of Summit Mines, store manager for the Union Supply Company; James, a millworker, of near Cunningham’s bridge, and Rose, wife of Austin Taylor, of Scottdale. The funeral will take place on Tuesday.

Deceased Has Been A Resident Of Dayton Sixty-Five Years.
Captain Of Industry.
Many of the business men of Dayton and a host of friends will today mourn the loss of one the city's foremost industrial captains and a commercial leader, George A. Gebhart, president of S.T. and G.A. Gebhart Company, wholesale dealers in iron and steel. Shortly before noon yesterday he was stricken with a cerebral hemorrhage and then followed a desperate struggle in which death was the victor and claimed his prisoner at 9:30 last night. From 11 o'clock until 4 in the afternoon. Mr. Gebhart made a masterful struggle enduring untold suffering, and then he lapsed into a state of coma and breathed his last several hours later with his faithful wife and invalid, lying in another bed at his side, and his son, George H. Gebhart, bending over him.
His death came as a surprise to all, though he had been ill several times recently. On Monday he was taken with a similar attack and fell face down upon the floor of his office while talking with a commercial traveler. He was quickly removed to his home and soon recovered, the physician declaring the cause biliousness. He felt perfectly well after that and was in the best of spirits Thursday morning when he ate a very hearty breakfast. Overwhelmed by the shock of her husband’s death, Mrs. Gebhart who suffers from heart trouble and has been ailing for nearly a month, is on the verge of total collapse. She has been removed to another apartment and no one is allowed to see her except her son and Miss Elizabeth Gebhart, the sister of her husband. Grave fears are manifested on the part of her closer acquaintances lest she may not survive the strain of the next few days. No arrangements for the funeral have yet been thought of because a consultation with the widow might prove dangerous at this stage.
George A. Gebhart has been a resident of Dayton for 65 years. He was born in Connellsville, Pa. and was one of eight children. At the early age of 9 years, he removed to Dayton, who came because of business opportunities. After acquiring a thorough common school education, and went into the store of Gebhart and Marshall, of which his father was an active partner. He learned the business from the rudiments upward and gradually worked himself into a position of great responsibility. At the age of 30 he was united in marriage with Miss Ella Heikes, a resident of Dayton. There followed a long and harmonious wedded life. They have only one child, the son, George H. Gebhart, who is now identified with his father's business. The son is married and has a little daughter, Eleanor. For many years Mr. and Mrs. Gebhart have been members of the First English Lutheran Church in which they been prominently engaged in promoting religious work. The funeral will be in charge of the Rev. Frank Garland who is the pastor of her church.
It was in 1863 that Samuel T. Gebhart and George A. Gebhart founded their business in this city. At first they used it for their purpose, a single store room in the east end of the Huffman block, but in seven years they were compelled to seek larger quarters, at the corner of Third and St. Clair streets. The business was enlarged to include iron and steel materials used in the manufacture of wagons and carriages, blacksmiths' supplies and other metal commodities. The trade spread over Ohio and the adjoining states. The partnership of the Gebhart brothers was dissolved in 1906, upon the death of Samuel Gebhart, and then the firm was incorporated. The capital stock is $150,000. George A. Gebhart became the president and his son the vice president of the reorganized concern. The firm has always stood for conservative and sound business principles and has been a marked factor in the industrial progress of the city.
DEATH OF JUDGE HERMAN GEBHART
We are pained to announce the death of this old and highly esteemed citizen. He died Sunday morning at 2 o'clock. Judge Gebhart was born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania on the 22nd day of January 1796. If he would of lived until tomorrow he would of been 71 years old. The anniversary of his birth by a sad coincidence is the day of his funeral. He came to Dayton in June of 1842, and has been engaged in business since that date. Judge Gebhart was an amiable, upright, Christian man, and a member of the first Baptist Church of this city. His kindness of heart and pleasant deportment are familiar to many who will remember these characteristics as they read notice. Previous to the adoption of our present state constitution, the bench of common pleas comprised a presiding judge and three associates, he served as an associate judge of this county for several years, and in this position enjoyed the confidence of all our people. He was also a member of the city council, and took a deep interest in the welfare of our city. Occupying a prominent place among the capitalists here, he was connected to the railway enterprise and banking institutions, serving on the managing boards and holding a leading position. Judge Gebhart leaves a wife and eight children, four sons and four daughters. His health has been failing for more than twelve months, and several days previous to his death it was known that he could not recover and inquiries were made to the progress of his malady. Though not unexpected the announcement of his departure will cause a painful sensation among all classes of our people.
HERMAN GEBHART—, hatter, respectfully informs the public in general, that he has commenced the hatting business in the borough of Connellsville, in the house formerly occupied by Otho L. Williams, opposite William Little's tavern, where he intends carrying on said business in its different branches; those who will favor him with their customer work, may be assured of getting good work, as he intends to keep the best of stuff and good hands. He likewise intends selling at a moderate price, for cash, or approved country produce.

SAMUEL T. GEBHART SUCCUMBS TO INJURIES
After Suffering For More Than Two Days, Dayton's Venerable
Citizen Passes To His Eternal Reward, Was Closely Identified
With City's Commercial Interests.
The victim of an accident at Main and Sixth streets, Friday morning, in which he was struck by Pan Handle freight train No. 77, Samuel T. Gebhart, a pioneer of the city, and one of Dayton's foremost merchants, succumbed to the inevitable at his home, 314 South Main street, at 8 o'clock Sunday night. All that the professional service of Dr. G. C. Myers and the loving care and attention of his family could administer was of no avail, and the sufferer was gently wafted from mortal pain. Samuel Trevors Gebhart was born in Connellsville, Pa., August 24, 1830, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Herman Gebhart. He was the second and eldest son of a family of eight children. At the age of 12 he removed to Dayton with his parents, the father engaging in the stove business on South Main street, and for him the young man served. Later the senior Gebhart was elected a judge and Samuel went to Xenia, where he became associated with his brother-in-law, A. E. Underwood, in the stove and iron business. Subsequently the business was transferred to Dayton and Mr. Underwood's interest was secured by a brother of Mr. Gebhart, George A. For more than 42 years, thus has existed the well-known iron supply firm of S. T. and G. A. Gebhart.
On June 13, 1854, Mr. Gebhart was united in marriage to Miss Mary, daughter of George and Rebecca McHose, and our children were the issue of the union. These are Frank W. Gebhart of St. Louis, Miss Ada M. Gebhart of Dayton: Will L. Gebhart, Dayton, Mrs. O. E. Bates, also of this city. The wife and mother passed away November 2, 1905, almost a year ago. Mr. Gebhart in his early life embraced the doctrines of the Lutheran Church, and to those he remained steadfast. In the commercial life of the city, he was conspicuous especially so as the senior member of the well-known firm bearing his name. He was also a stockholder in the Dayton National Bank.
The remains were committed to the charge and preparation of O. P. Boyer's Sons, undertakers, but the arrangements for the funeral have not been completed.

John Lawrence GEISLER
( -1962)
County Soldier
On Plane
Missing In Pacific
Hopes Fading For 107
A 32 year old native of Dunbar R.D. 1, is among the 107 persons feared lost in the crash of a Flying Tiger airliner Thursday night in the western Pacific. The plane is believed to be down in the Pacific after taking off from Guam for Manila carrying 93 Americans and three South Vietnamese soldiers bound for embattled Viet Nam, and a civilian crew of 11. The missing soldier is Sgt. First Class John Lawrence Geisler, son of Edward W. Geisler and the late Mrs. Dorothy Walther Geisler. A veteran of over 12 years service with the U.S. Army, Sgt. Geisler attended Connellsville High School before entering the service.
Family In Maryland
He was in charge of kitchen and mess facilities at the Army Chemical Center, Md., before being assigned to Viet Nam. His wife, Barbara Mathena Geisler; two sons, John Jr., 4, and Kenneth L., live at Granite, Md. Other members of the family are his stepmother, Mrs. Parady Hughes Geisler; two brothers, Edward W. Jr., Connellsville; Theodore, Baltimore, Md.; two stepbrothers, Holmes Hair, Perryopolis; Daniel Hair, Scottdale; two stepsisters, Mrs. Donald (Helen) Goodman, West Newton; Mrs. John (Jane) Ragen, Irwin. The four – engine, propeller driven plane left Guam a few minutes before 9 p.m. Thursday on the 1,650 – mile hop to the Philippines enroute from Travis Air Force Base in California to South Viet Nam. About 80 minutes later it radioed a routine report to Guam, giving no hint of trouble. At the time, the plane was about 270 miles west of Guam and headed for Clark Field, north of Manila. It never was heard from again.
Tree Trunk
The rescue center reported the U.S. escort destroyer Brister reached an area 730 miles west of Guam where partially submerged objects were spotted Saturday and made positive identification of the object as a tree trunk floating vertically in the water. Meanwhile, other search units were scanning an area 408 miles west-northwest of Guam where an Air Force plane reported spotting what appeared to be a flare Saturday night. A navy plane found a freighter in the vicinity Sunday but it reported that it did not fire the flare. The Army men on the missing charter plane reportedly were to join U.S. forces backing up the South Viet Nam government’s fight against Communist Viet Cong guerillas.
Hope Dims
Experts in Burbank, Calif., making a step-by-step investigation of the plane’s flight said they found no evidence indicating sabotage. Officials have given up all but the faintest hope of finding any survivors.

She was born on May 9, 1923 in Uniontown, Pa., daughter of John and Louise (Viglietti) Vitti. She was preceded in death by her parents; and her husband, Frank D. Georgiana Sr. in 1975. Also preceding her in death were her brothers, Theodore Vitti and Albert Vitti and sisters, Elizabeth (Vitti) Delligatti, Ora (Vitti) Grasse and Anna Belle (Vitti) Rice; father-in-law and mother-in-law, Salvatore Georgiana and Lucia (Santore) Georgiana; her brothers-in-law, Anthony, Joseph, Orlando, Rudolph and Samuel Georgiana; her sisters-in-law, Laura Georgiana and Marie Georgiana, and Rose Georgiana, who died as an infant. She is survived by her son, Frank D. Georgiana Jr. at home; daughter, Donna M. (Georgiana) Hucik and her husband Ronald of Uniontown; sister, Julia (Vitti) Hayden, of Hopwood, Pa; sisters-in-law: Elizabeth (Kozel) Vitti of Uniontown, Pa., and Cecilia (Kozak) Vitti of Philadelphia, Pa.; brothers-in- law, John Georgiana and wife Angela (Poli) Georgiana; sisters- in-law: Anna Marie (Poli) Georgiana of Uniontown, Pa., and Nancy (Georgiana) Terravecchia of New Salem, Pa. Dorothy is also survived by many beloved cousins, nephews, nieces, great- nephews, great-nieces, great-great-nephews and great-great nieces along with many friends. She graduated from South Union High School, Class of 1941. Known as “Ging” to her loving family and “Aunt Dorothy” to her neighborhood, she retired from the Laurel Highlands School District in 1983. She loved to cook and make arts and crafts, giving both her food and crafts away freely to anyone. She was a proud and dignified lady, pleasant to be around and showing humility, love and kindness to all. She loved children, sitting for many in the neighborhood and for family members. She was a volunteer caregiver for many years for a young boy who lived in the neighborhood who had muscular dystrophy. She was a pacifist by nature, always seeking peace and looking for the good in all people. She never held a grudge against anyone, always forgave. She had a “big heart” and a beautiful smile. She was a loving, good-natured person and the best mother ever! She enjoyed watching the Pittsburgh Pirates on TV, and read newspapers and worked crossword puzzles on a daily basis. She was a learned individual. As a breast cancer survivor, she showed emotional and physical strength and never became emotionally depressed or physically weak while undergoing chemotherapy or the cancer surgery. She was a real “trooper” as she defeated cancer. For the last seven years of her life, she maintained a bright outlook and an indefatigable determination to walk again. She remained positive and cheerful to the very end. She greeted each of her aides, caregivers, nurses, priests, chaplains, physicians, and health assistants with a huge smile. She engaged each with friendly conversation during their work shifts at her home. All of them became extended members of her loving family. She gratefully acknowledged their help, love and compassion saying to each one as they left her home for the day, “Thank you and I love you.” Friends will be received in the STEPHEN R.

OBITUARY
Death has struck another heavy blow on the society of Dunlap's Creek, in the
person of Miss Margaret Ann Gilmore, who departed this life on the 31dy st ult
and in the 31st year of her age. Her disease, congestive fever, proved incontrolable.
Physicians and friends did their utmost, but it raged and triumphed. The commission
was __ ___ down , regardless of all interference of medical skill and the assiduities
of devoted friendship. Her seat in the social circle, and in the Presbyterian
church, of which she has been for several years a member, is now left vacant.
Her intellect, her superior advantages of education, her decision and energy,
of character, together with her position in the community, made her an object
of much interest. But all could not detain her here. she has been called by Him
who "doeth all things well," from the active in the spring-tide of
life, beloved and lamented by a large circle of friends and acquaintances. Now
that she has left us, all seem to realize that a ___ has been made in society
which will not soon be filled. An aged and widowed mother mourns in solitude
her sad desolation, bereaved so unexpectedly of the endeared society of an only
child, the stay of her declining years.
" she looks in her chamber, but one is not there,
Hushed is the voice, and vacant the chair;
Lips of life's melody, were are they gone?
Never to smile again, never to mourn."
The consolations of the gospel are the mother's chief and sure support in the
day of trial. Her loved and cherished one, we trust through grace, now dwells
with more exalted society and realizes more expanded visions of glory and ___
than earth affords. Let then the eye of faith look beyond the dark mystery of
Providence, to that throne of light and love, whose arbitra___ are in wisdom
however inscrutable to mortals.

DEATHS
GILMORE— At the residence of Mr. Jesse Oglevee, in Dunbar township, Fayette County, Pa., on Thursday Jan. 12th, 1865, Mr. WILLIAM A. GILLMORE, aged 23 years. ‘Will’ was naturally a mild and agreeable young man, possessing much firmness and decision of character, whereby won the esteem and affection of all who knew him. He was a great lover of literature, a Printer by profession - and by too close application to business contracted disease of the lungs, which ended his life of usefulness. During the last days of his illness he sought and found peace in believing in Christ, regretting much that he had not done so while in health, and now that he is gone we mourn, but not without hope. He bore his sufferings without a murmur - and after speech had failed, when asked if he were happy-nodded his head. "Do you love the Savior now, Will?" he gave the same sign, and soon after calmly fell asleep in Jesus. May God bless and sanctify this affliction to the mother, brother, sister, and many loving friends; and may all meet him in that better land.

DAVID P. GILPIN
AGE 6
David P. Gilpin, born and raised in Dunbar, was also the son of a notable fiddle player of the community. He is about 65 years old and has worked most of his life in the mines. He has an unusually fine violin, of which he is extremely fond, and a large stock of tunes, for most of which he has not cared to remember the titles. In some respects he is the most remarkable player encountered thus far in southwestern Pennsylvania. An accident deprived him of the ring- finger on his left hand, and left the little finger doubled inward over the palm. Such a calamity would ordinarily cause a player to abandon his music; but Dave set to work to re-learn the performance of his repertory with two fingers only. Now he plays swiftly, smoothly and cleanly with just the two remaining fingers of his left hand, and despite his deprivation he can play "all over the fiddle", with a true tone and excellent rhythm. Furthermore he seems to be able to harmonize his tunes with all the facility of a fully - equipped player. His repertory is derived from his father and members of some of the older local musicians.

The Gilpin Suicide
More mystery has developed in the Gilpin suicide case. The question now is, What has become of the unfortunate woman’s jewelry? L. W. Gilpin, husband of the dead woman, arrived on Thursday afternoon and says that two diamond rings, one opal, one pearl, a necklace and a gold watch have disappeared. No one seems to know anything about them.
Mr. Gilpin had a long interview with District Attorney Jones Thursday afternoon, and as a result County Detective McBeth will begin investigation in regard to the missing jewelry.

SUICIDE THE VERDICT
Jury Finds Mrs. Gilpin Died by Her Own Hand
After a secret session of ………………….. the jury empaneled by Coroner A. S. Hagan to determine the cause of the death of Mrs. Sadie Gilpin who was found dead at the stone house near Uniontown with a bullet hole in her head, Wednesday, found that she came to her death from a bullet wound inflicted by her own hand.
This was the third session of the jury which was selected last Friday and which was adjourned each time for further evidence. It was expected that at the concluding session the evidence of a Philadelphia physician, who made a post mortem examination of the body when it was taken to Wilmington, Del., for interment would be submitted to determine whether Mrs. Gilpin could have shot herself without leaving powder marks on the hair but at the beginning of the session neither Mr. Gilpin nor a physician had arrived. While the jury was deliberating word was received that Mr. Gilpin was on his way to Uniontown from Wilmington but the jury decided that it had sufficient evidence to arrive at a verdict.

Tippecanoe, Pennsylvania, Nov. 23, 1897.—Robert S. Goe, one of the most widely known and most respected citizens of this part of the county, died at his late home in Jefferson township after a protracted illness, on Saturday evening, November 20, 1897.
The deceased was a son of Henry B. and Catharine (Shotwell) Goe, deceased, and was born on the farm where he died, December, 1836, and was near 61 years old at the time of his death. About 1868 he married Hettie Higinbotham.

The deceased had been a great sufferer for a number of years, yet he bore it all with remarkable patience and endurance. During his long affliction he was tenderly cared for by his estimable wife and loving children; everything possible was done to alleviate his sufferings. For many years Mr. Goe had been an acceptable member of the Christian Church, and that denomination loses one of its staunchest supporters. He was broad in his Christian character and liberal toward all Christian denominations. In his death the wife is bereft of a loving husband, the children of a kind father and the church and community of one of their most exemplary members. The funeral services on Tuesday, Nov. 23, conducted by Rev. Mr. Atkinson, pastor of the California Christian Church, assisted by Revs. Clark and Negley of the Presbyterian Church.

Frederick Golden, haulage engineer in Leisenring No. 2 Mine, was killed on Tuesday afternoon. The day's run was almost over when the accident happened. Golden has just finished bringing a trip up the haulage and walked out to the entrance of the engine room. A mule pulling a wagon load of bricks was passing. There was no driver with the animal and as it went by Golden reached out and slapped it a couple of times on the flank. The mule kicked and in an attempt to get out of the way Golden lost his balance and fell between the loaded wagon and the rib. He made no outcry and it was several minutes before anyone knew that the accident had happened. Medical aid was summoned then but the unfortunate man lived only a short time. His head and body terribly crushed. Golden was an industrious young man. Several months ago he was promoted from the position of fireman to the one he held at the time of his death.
