McBeath. The
following article is taken from the Rankin (Ill.) News. Mr.
McBeath was a former Pulaskian and a brother-in-law of Nellie
McBeath, one of
the Journal's correspondents. "Thomas McBath, a
workman on the "rip" track
in the L.E. & W. yards, while at work under a car Thursday
afternoon was
struck and dragged under the car, when the switch engine set in a
car on that
track. Mr. McBath was brought to Dr. Liggitt's office where
medical aid was
given but owing to the seriousness of his injuries, he died about
four
o'clock in the doctor's office. An inquest was held in
Rankin, Friday noon,
and the witnesses testified that he was at work under the care
when it was
struck. After hearing the testimony the jury returned a
verdict of death due
to injuries sustained when he was run over by a cut of cars on
the "rip"
track of the Lake Erie & Western railway. Brief funeral
services were held
in Rankin Saturday morning after which the body was taken to
Oxford, Ind.,
for burial. The following obituary was read by Rev.
Wicks: Obituary.
William Thomas McBath was born in Wayne Co., Ky., Feb. 24, 1868,
and was
called suddenly to the life beyond from his late home in Rankin,
Ill., Sept.
2, 1920, aged 51 years and 6 months, and 8 days. He was
united in marriage
to Dora Morris, Dec. 22, 1894, in Texas. His wife preceded
him in death,
leaving a family of small children. He was married the
second time, Oct. 5,
1905, to Pauline Johnson. To this union 5 children were
born. An infant was
born only a few hours before the father was called into the world
beyond.
The names of the surviving children are respectively, Leonard
McBeth and
Della Gilbert of Oxford, Ind., Seth of Templeton, Ind., Donnie of
Templeton,
Floyd, Lorine, Evelyn, Edna and baby with the wife and mother all
of Rankin,
Ill., are left to mourn. Mr. McBath was highly respected by
his large circle
of friends in Rankin. He was held in high esteem by the
Railroad Officials
and the men of the shops where he was employed and the fatal
accident has
caused a gloom over he entire community. He was a devoted
husband, and
affectionate father and a true friend. The grief stricken
wife and children
have the heartfelt sympathy of the entire community.
Jesse Mershon Dies of His Injuries. Mr. Jesse Mershon, who
was injured by
being run over by an auto truck a week ago, died at his home at
Bryantsville,
Friday night, and was buried at Lancaster Sunday afternoon after
services at
the Presbyterian Church by Dr. E.M. Green, of Danville.
Members of the
Masons of which order he was a member officiated at the
grave. Mr. Mershon
lived in this county many years and moved to Corbin soon after
that place
became a railroad center. He was a brother of Mr. John B.
Mershon, formerly
of Stanford but now residing at Somerset. He married Miss
Eliza Kennedy, the
only daughter of the late Grove Kennedy, and she and one son, Mr.
Will
Mershon of Winchester survive the good man. Mr. Mershon was
about 60 years
old and was a splendid man in every way. He had recently
bought property at
Bryantsville, where his brother-in-law, Mr. Ben Kennedy and
family live.
Many hearts are saddened by is passing. Stanford Interior

N.J., paper and
will be read with interest here: "A surprise miscellaneous

on Sept. 11th, in honor of Mrs. Walter E. Winfrey, formerly Miss
Blanche I.
Bond, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank P. Bond of
13 Myrtle
Ave., Roseville Section. The home was beautifully decorated

being carried out in pink and white. Many beautiful gifts

from a flower watering pot. Refreshments were served and

Peterson entertained during the evening. Mr. Frank P. Bond,
formerly of
Haley and Bond, rendered selections of many musical instruments
that he used
when in the theatrical business. Those who attended were

Worth A Thought. A dispatch from Washington reads as
follows: "The
Republican National Committee is doing one thing that never has
been
attempted heretofore. It is organizing a battery of colored
women, who are
to travel through the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois
and
possibly a few other hotly contested regions, and preach
Republicanism to the
colored voters, especially the colored females. So far
about fifteen colored
women have been signed up for the campaign. The Evening
Post will observe
the results of this political experiment with considerable
interest -
Louisville Post.
Of the 17,981 disabled former soldiers being cared for in more
than 1,000
hospitals under supervision of the war risk bureau, 9,858 are in
private
hospitals, including state and county sanitariums, and 8,128 are
in hospitals
only partly controlled by the government.
Of the 470,000 men originally classed as deserters by the War
Dept., closer
observation and investigation narrowed this number down to
173,911.
