Chauncey B. MITCHELL (1897-1932)
Chauncey Mitchell Dies Very Suddenly At Veterans Hospital Chauncey B. Mitchell, well-known young man of Connellsville and an active member of Milton L. Bishop Post, American Legion, died suddenly at 1:10 o’clock Friday afternoon at the Veterans’ Administration Hospital, Hines, Ill., where he had gone for an operation. News of the death was a shock both to his family and the community. Many of his friends were unaware he had entered the hospital and information concerning the sudden summons was startling to most of them. The young man was not in ill health. He had noticed a slight growth in his mouth which occasionally bothered him as he ate. Fearing complications might develop, he arranged to go to the hospital and left here just about three weeks ago. Doctors at the hospital made a study of his case and in a letter which he wrote to his wife Thursday forenoon he said he was “standing by” for the operation. It is not yet known whether he had undergone the operation. The message from the hospital to Mrs. Mitchell said the young ex-soldier had died from an “un- demonstrable cause.” Chauncey Brooks Mitchell was born in this city on June 3, 1897. His father, James W. Mitchell, died in June, 1931. He is survived by his mother and his widow. There are no brothers or sisters or children. He graduated from the Connellsville High School and went to Denver, Colo., where he was employed for a time. During his school days he was a clerk in the Laughrey Drug Company store. He served in the United States Army during the World War, being a sergeant in the Medical Department at Camp Zachary Taylor, Kentucky. He was honorably discharged after 19 months. On his return to this city he became identified with the engineering corps of the H. C. Frick Coke Company and had since been employed. On March 30, 1922, he was married to Miss Edna Moorehouse of Uniontown, and has resided in this city since. Mr. Mitchell was an unusually active member of the Milton L. Bishop Post and was especially interested in its bugle corps. He was recognized as one who could always be depended upon to respond for any duty at any time and was popular with his buddies in the post. While at Camp Zachary Taylor he became a member of Shawnee Lodge, No. 830, F. & A. M., and he was an officer in the Connellsville lodge of Maccabees. He was also a member of the First Methodist Episcopal Church of this place. Arrangements for the funeral have not been made. The time of arrival of the body from Chicago was not known this morning and announcement of the services was withheld until later. The Legionnaires will have complete charge of all details. The body will be prepared for burial by Funeral Director C. C. Mitchell.

Something About Them, Their Families,
Homes and Circumstances
The unfortunate men were residents of Dunbar and vicinity. They were chiefly of English Irish and Scotch descent, no Hungarians or Poles having ever been employed at these works. Many of them owned their neat little homes and those who were not native born were naturalized. They were a frugal honest body of workmen, and were above the average miners in intelligence and thrift. They were personally known to nearly every resident of Dunbar and vicinity. Almost all were married and fathers of families ranging in numbers from one to ten children. The following gives more in detail the condition of the families left fatherless by the sad calamity.

Another Man Killed
It this week again becomes our most painful duty to record the killing of another
citizen of this country, under the following circumstances: On Tuesday morning
last, before daylight, Wm. K. Cooper of the place and others, went to the residence
of John Moats, of George Township, near Oliphant's Iron Works, for the purpose
of arresting him as an alleged deserter. Moats jumped out of the window for
the purpose, it is supposed, of making his escape, when he was shot by Cooper,
and almost, instantly killed. There are conflicting rumors as to the position
of the parties when the shooting occurred; some say they were clinched and scuffling,
others say that Moats was running.
No arrest has yet been made in consequence of Cooper having gone off on the noon
train on Wednesday.
An inquest was held by the Coroner, Dr. James Fuller, and a post mortem examination
made. The verdict of the jury was, that John Moats was killed by a pistol shot,
deliberately fired by Wm. K. Cooper, Moats, it is alleged was drafted and never
reported himself. He leaves a wife and one or two small children. George Township
seems to be an unfortunate place. This is the second man killed in the township
within a few months and three heads of families, have been killed in that neighborhood
since the war broke out.

DIED
On Sunday, Nov. 23d inst., LUCY, daughter of Robert M. and Mary Modesitt, of this place; aged 5 years, 8 months and 20 days.
From this region of sorrow and night,
A purse light spirit has taken its flight;
The bud was nipt ere yet it had bloomed –
Carried away in life’s merry morn,
To be placed mid the germs that heaven adorn,
And leave a world of affliction doomed.
She has been called – summoned by God –
To travel that narrow, yet beautiful road,
And while on her couch quietly sleeping,
She answered the call, return to thy home –
Thy troubles are o’er, thy Saviour says come;
The summons is filled, death’s silence she’s keeping.
And though thou’st lost thy brightest treasure,
Grieve not mother thou forever;
Thy daughter’s free from earthly care,
Dry up thy tears, cease to mourn,
Trials and troubles must yet be borne,
Ere thou caus’t meet that loved one there.

POPULAR BAND DIRECTOR DIES TUESDAY NIGHT
The Molinaro Band, long a Connellsville institution and rich tradition, lost it's well-known leader of many decades Tuesday afternoon when Amedeo Molinaro, age 86 died in Highlands Hospital. The cause of death was not reveled at the time. The Molinaro Band was formed in 1913, and Molinaro became the second director in 1933, seceding Michael Molinaro who founded the band. Molinaro passed his baton to his nephew Henry Molinaro, Jr. music director at Connellsville Jr. High East, only this past year, although Amedeo regularly conducted practice sessions. The band played at innumerable events throughout western Pennsylvania. Connellsville Mayor Thomas Duncan praised Molinaro for his contributions to the community and to the youth of the area. He did a lot for the city. Most people don't realize what a good influence he had on the community and the hundreds of youth who played in the band over the years." He will be sorely missed." "I treat them all like my very own children" Molinaro said last year in an interview with The Daily Courier. He never married , and joked thar " I never had a wife telling me there wasn't time" That way he could focus on the band. Justin Gillott, age 21 , who has played baritone horn in the band the past eight years remembers Molinaro. also " He was a great leader. He was always a happy man. He enjoyed his music" Gillott is a music major at the St. Vincent College in Latrobe. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of the Richard Kucera Funeral Home in Connellsville and will be announced.

Immaculate Conception church. Twenty-two carriages followed the funeral cortege
to St. Joseph's cemetery, where interment was made.
Requiem high mass was celebrated at the church, by Father J. T. Burns, who spoke
in a touching manner of the explosion that brought death and sorrow to the Monoghan
and McGarrity homes. The church was filled with friends of the victims
and their families. The death of Monoghan and the three children coming
so suddenly was pathetic in the extreme. The little girls bore few outward
marks of their fearful burns and their baby sweetness brought tears to the eyes
of hundreds who viewed the remains yesterday and this morning. Little boys dressed
in white were pallbearers for the three children.
The condition of Mrs. Monoghan and Mrs. McGarrity continues critical at the Cottage
State hospital. Mrs. Monoghan, however, shows wonderful vitality and her
condition this morning after having passed a bad night was if anything slightly
improved. Thomas McGarrity, husband of Mrs. McGarrity, one of the survivors
at the hospital is completely broken up over the blow that has befallen him in
the loss of his little daughter, nieces and brother-in-law and the injuries to
his wife and sister, he being a brother of Mrs. Monoghan.

TWO INQUESTS HELD
In Murder Cases of Frank Moon
At Scottdale and James Leonard.
THE LATTER IS AN OLD CASE.
Verdicts Rendered on Thursday That
Both Victims Came to Their Deaths
By Hands of Unknown Persons
Testimony Before Coroner Hagan
Coroner Arthur S. Hagan of Fairchance held two inquests yesterday in City Hall. One was on the death of William Frank Moon who was shot down in the bar room of the New Scottdale House in Scottdale on the evening of November 7th and the other long delayed was on the death of James Leonard, a young man of town who was assaulted by three strangers on the North Side on the night of July 21st and who died eight days later as a result of the injuries he received.
In the Moon inquest a number of witnesses from Scottdale were present. Among these were John O’Neil, the bartender on duty when the shooting occurred, Joseph Ghrist, a mill worker who knows more about the case than all the others combined, John Sellers, A. C. Bell and others who were in the bar at the time but who know little or nothing of the circumstances of the shooting. Constable Everhart of Scottdale testified that he had investigated the case in Scottdale and had taken a statement from Moon while he lingered at the Cottage State Hospital, but had utterly failed to find an explanation of the mystery.
Joseph Ghrist was the star witness and furnished a tip which if it is followed out may locate the slayer of Moon. Ghrist was passing through the bar when the shot was fired and was sober. He helped raise Moon from the floor and later asked him who shot him. “Was it the man who was with you?” asked Ghrist, and Moon groaned, “Yes, yes.” Then William Keffer of Summit mines, commonly known as Rats, said, “Why, I know that man. He is ______ and I used to work with him. He was with Moon all afternoon.” Ghrist does not remember the name Keffer said but thinks it sounded like Rankin or Larkin. If Ghrist’s story is true then the secret of the killing rests with Rats of Summit mines.
Other testimony brought out the fact that Moon and his murderer were standing in the rear of the saloon behind a big refrigerator when the shot was fired and that no one save Moon and his slayer actually witnessed the tragedy.
Bartender O’Neil explained how in the excitement that followed the shooting the murderer escaped through the front door, saying the shot was fired from the outside.
After the evidence was in, Coroner Hagan said that no more witnesses would be called that if the Westmorland county officers wanted to interview Keefer they could do so. Then a verdict to the effect that Moon was shot by a party unknown was signed by the jurymen. J. H. Risbeck, C. W. Patterson, L. W. Port, David Blackburn, A. W. Hood and S. R. Ree.
In the case of James Leonard the only witness heard was his companion on the fatal night, George DeHaven, age of sixteen. He said that while he and Leonard were passing along the railroad near the Fayette Lumber Company mill of the North Side, three strangers jostled them off the pavement.
