AITO CRASH
Saturday ^ternoon about 3:30
o'clock Mrs. Robert James sustain
ed injuries in an automobile crash,
which resulted in her death a few
hours later. Mr. and Mrs. James had
made their home for the most part
in Canton. However, several years
ago they purchased the J. E. Lindi
more place above Malta, which they
had since made into a fine summer
home, and Mrs. James had been
spending the summer at that place.
Her husband joined her there Sat
urday, to spend over Labor Day,
and they were on their way to Mal
ta to do their shopping. Mrs. James
was driving the machine, which was
a new Ford sedan. In some manner
she lost control of the car as it was
Crossing the iron bridge at Moore's
run, near the Jenkins place, and it
crashed into the side of the bridge.
The bridge seemed to buckle in the
middle and gave down. Mr. and
Mrs. James were both rendered un
conscious. However Mr. James soon
regained consciousness and with Mr.
Jenkins who lived near the place of
the accident, and passing motorists,
rendered first aid, and sent for
a doctor from here, and for the Mil
ler ambulance. It was evident that
Mrs. James was in a very critical
condition, and she was rushed to
Bethesda hospital, Zanesville, in the
ambulance. It was then learned
that her right leg was split open and
almost severed from her body, and
her face and head were badly crush
ed, and she was injured internally.
She passed away about 7:30 o'clock
without fully regaining conscious
ness. The body was removed here
to the Miller undertaking parlors
and prepared for burial. Monday
afternoon it was taken to the homo
of her sister, Mrs. Ida Martin of
Stockport, where funeral services
were held Tuesday afternoon, at
o'clock, with burial in Stockport
cemetery. The services were con
ducted by Rev. E. F. Kendle.
Those of her immediate relatives in
attendance from out of town, be
sides her husband and son Norman
James, wife and daughter, little
Dorothy Mae of Shreve, 0„ were: L.
E. Adrian, wife and two children of
near Waynesburg, Pa. W.
Wert, wife and three children of Co
lumbus Mrs. Ola McKibben, of Mc
Connelsville. 'Others in attendance
were Rolla James, Roseville Mrs.
Nina Williams, Pennsville Mr. and
Mrs. Hambaugh, Jeffersonville, Ind
Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, Mr. and Mrs.
Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Walker, and
others, of Eagleport C. B. Henery,
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Brokaw, and O.
B. McKibben, McConnelsville.
Rhoda James was a daughter of
the late John and Mary McKibben,
and was born Jan. 1, 1876, at Stock
port, where she received her school
ing, and was fitted for the teach'
ing profession. In the year 1896 she
was united in marriage with Rob
ert James. For a number of years
they resided ia Glouster.-r'&nd some
years ago moved to Canton, where
they made their home for the most
part, with the exception of the tim
spent at their summer home. Sur
viving besides the husband are one
son, Norman James of Shreve, O.
and a little granddaughter Dorothy
May James, three sisters, Mrs. Nona
Metcalf, Mrs. Nora Boomer and Mrs
Ida Martin, all of Stockport. A sis
ter died in infancy, and a brother
J* W. McKibben, died here several
years ago. The deceased was a wom
an held in high esteem by a wide
circle of friends. Like her husband
she was greatly attached to fishing
and out of door sports, and she was
planning to spend Mr. James' Labor
Day vacation most pleasantly, in
that manner. In her young girlhood
she joined the Methodist Protestant
church, at Stockport.
Just the extent of Mr. James' in
juries have not been fully determin
ed. He was able to leave the hos
pital Monday, but his side is hurt
also his back, and one knee is gain
fully injured. The machine was
very badly wrecked.

Women's CluTs Have Booth At Fair
For the past ten years the Feder
ation of Farm Women's clubs of
Morgan county have been support
ing a ladies' rest room in the Odd
Fellows building. Mrs. Cornelia
Davis, the matron, lives in the
apartment and is present at all
times to advise and minister to the
comfort of the patrons of the rest
room.
The citiens of McConnelsville and
Morgan county owe these progres
sive women a vote of thanks for
their efforts in furthering the civic
welfare of the community. Hun
dreds of women tourists have ex
pressed their appreciation of this
rest room, to which the ladies of the
rural communities here have given
freely both of their time and money
for its support. The annual ex
penses necessary to maintain this
rest room aggregate $300, all ot
which has been shouldered by the
Federation of Farm Women's clubs.
Each year at the county fair
concentrated drive is launched to
earn the necessary $300, by serving
sandwiches and other food delica
cies. So when you attend the coun
ty fair make it a point to go around
and patronize the stand operated by
tlH'se ladies. It requires a large
amount of supplies to run the stand
at the fair, and not only club mem
bers but others interested in this
community work are earnestly so
licited to contribute pies and
pressed chicken for this purpose
This is a community work and the
ladies who carry it on give their
time, labor and supplies free, that
the town may have a rest room
that has real atmosphere, accessible
at all times to both city and country
patrons.—XX.

McCONNELSVILLE, OHIO, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 5,1929
R. II. BIIOWV, WIDELY
KNOW N RESIDENT, DIES
This community was greatly
shocked Saturday night on learning
of the passing of Mr. R. K. Brown,
aged 7^ years, one of the county's
best known citizens, and most prom
inent business men. His death oc
curred Saturday night about 10:50
o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs.
O. N. Townsend, Zanesville. Death
was due to angina pectoris, and he
was stricken while playing golf, at
Zanesville. So far as known, this
was the only attack of that disease
he had ever suffered.
Saturday, alter eating lunch at
his home here about noon, he and
his brother-in-law Wm. Buchanan
of Chicago, who was visiting here,
at the Brown home, left for Zanes
ville to play golf, being taken by
auto to that place, in the Brown
machine, by Mr. Walter Campbell.
At Zanesville Messrs. Brown and
Buchanan were joined by Mr. O. N.
Tov,-n?end. When Mr. Brown left
home here he was apparently in the
very best of health, and had recent
ly remarked to his family how splen*
did he felt, and that he had never
enjoyed a summer so much as he
had this one. Mr. Brown en.
tered golf links about two o'clock,
and had justt teed off, when in
a few minutes Mr. Campbell seeing
by Mr. Brown's action that some
thing was wrong, asked him what
was the matter, to which Mr.
Brown replied "oh those pains" and
put his hands on his chest. He
told Mr. Campbell that he was very
ill, and, sat down on the ground,
and soon lay down. He was taken
at once to the Townsend home and
a physician summoned. When the
doctor arrived he found him in a
very critical condition, and his
brother Dr. John E. Brown of Co
lumbus and his wife and daughter
Miss Catherine Brown of this
place were sent for. From that
time on Mr. Brown grew worse, and
his suffering was intense. He was
conscious until the' last. With him
when the end came were his wife
and daughter and hif brothers Dr
J. E. Brown of Columbus and Mr
U. H. Brown of Zanesville and Mr
and Mrs. Townsend. The bocly was
removed in the Fisher ambulance
to the Fisher & Young undertak
ing parlors here and prepared for
burial, and Sunday afternoon was
taken to his late home.
Rufus Kelly Brown was perhaps
the county's leading business man,
having varied interest*. He was
president, general 1 manager and
treasurer of the Brown-Manly Plow
Co. was president of the Malta
National bank—a position he had
held for more than 20 years was a
director of the First National bank,
McConnelsville a director of the
Malta Savings & Loan Company
a director of the Brown Manufac
turing Company of Zanesville, and
president of Elk Eye Milling Co
He was the owner ^nd manager of
a large ik'istol township
better known as the Leland farm
specializing in cattle raising. He
was a man whose advice in business
matters was freely sought, and he
was ever posted up to the very min
ute on all matters pertaining to the
financial world.
The deceased was practically
life-long member of the Malta Meth
odist Episcopal church chairman of
its board of stewards, was also
trustee, and was a district steward
He gave the church the same careful
attention that he did other lines of
business with which he was connect
ed. His financial support of the
church was most liberal. He was
a man who was always found on .the
right side of all moral questions. In
politics he was a Republican, but in
no sense of the word could he be
classed as a strict partisan. He was
a member of Valley Lodge No. 145
F. & A. M., and served five years as
its master. He was also a member
of McConnelsville Chapter, No. 182
of McConnelsville Council, No. 106
and was a Knight Templar, his
membership being at New Lexing
ton. He was active in the work or"
the various Masonic bodies, with
which he was affiliated.
Mr. John Brown, father of the
deceased, was a native of Harrison
county. Later the family moved to
Deavertown. Here he was united
in marriage to Mary Ann Longstreth
At
Deavertown a business partner
ship was formed, known as J. &
S. Brown, for the manufacturing of
wheat fans. This partnership con
tinued until the year 1856, when
the Browns moved to Unionville, O
Another partnership was formed
there known as Wm. P-& J. Brown
for the making of plows. At this
place (Unifyiville) Rufus Kelly
Brown was born on Oct. 2, 1859
The same month the family moved
to Malta. Here the business of
manufacturing plows was carried
on, first in a shop which stood at
the rear of the Methodist Episcopal
church. At this time a co-partner
ship was formed of John Brown
Wm. P. Brown, James Manly and
F. B. Manly, under the firm name of
Brown-Manly Plow Company. In
the year 1870 an incorporation was
formed, under the title of th
Brown-Manly Plow Company, which
incorporation has continued. When
the Browns and Manlys named retir
ed because of advancing age, the
management fell to S. N. Manly and
R. K. Brown. The family home of
the Browns was across from the Mai
ta hotel. Here the members of the
family grew to manhood and wom
anhood, and were among the most
prominent citizens of Malta.
The deceased attended the Malta
public schools. Following a busi
ness course at a Zanesville business
college he entered the office of the
Brown-Manly Plow Company, and
gradually rose to the active man
agement of that corporation, wliich
position he held at the time of his

During the funeral services which
were held Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock, at Mr. Brown's late
home, all business firms and offi
ces of the two towns were closed as
a mark of respect. The services
were largely attended. The employes
of the Brown-Manly Plow Company
and the Masons, attended services
in a body. The deceased's pastor
Rev. G. D. Clifford, officiated. Car
rying out the wishes of the family
which would also have been the
wishes of the deceased, the services
were short and simple, consisting of
the reading of two favorite hymns by
Rev. Clifford—"One Sweetly Solemn
Thought," and "O For a Heart to
Praise My God." Rev. Gillilan of
Reynoldsburg, a former pastor, anl
near friend of the family, offered
prayer. Rev. Clifford read a sketch
of the life of the deceased, and
scripture lesson—the 12th chapter
of Ecclesiastes, and took as his text
a verse from the ninth chapter of
the same book—"Whatsoever thy
hand, findeth to do, do it with thy
might for there is no work, nor de
vice, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in
the grave whither thou goest." In
the room where the body lay, were
banks of handsome floral tributes
At the cemetery the Masons had
charge. The pall bearers were of
fice men from Brown-Manly Plow
Co., and were George Ralston, John
Sherman, W. G. Settle, F. A. Heil
W. C. Barrell, F. S. McDonald, Fred

GRANGERS PICNIC AT PLACE
OF BIG BOTTOM MASSACRE
The East Windsor grange picnic
held Saturday, Aug. 31, at the Big
Bottom park, where the Indian maq_
sacre occurred in the winter ot 1790,
was largely attended. Over 1,000
persons were present to enjoy the
occasion. Fourteen granges in the
county were represented. The pro
gram commenced in the forenoon by
all singing America. This was fol
lowed by music, readings, recita
tions, dancing, etc. About 11 o'clock
member of East Windsor grange,
dressed as a clown, drove in tho
park on an old truck, with an im
provised radio and broadcasting sta
tion, constructed from an old fan
ning mill, where he broadcast sev
eral songs, music, etc., much to the
merriment of the crowd. Ringling
Bros, have nothing on East Wind
sor grange in the way of enfertain
ment of this kind. After the noon
hour the audience was again called
together. Music Mas furnished by
Mr. and Mrs. Henry Hopkins, and
after a selection, the speaker for the
occasion, Rev. W. C. Patterson, of
Bethesda, chaplain of the Ohio state
grange, was introduced, who madn
very interesting grange address.
This was followed by the pageant of
the Big Bottom Indian massacre.
After reading in history the account
of this massacre and then seeing tho
pageant given by the East Windsor
community, one cannot help but
speak well of their splendid por
trayal of the massacre. The pioneer
settlers were well portrayed, dress
ed in the old pioneer garb. All
played their part well. Col. Stacy
visited the camp and cautioned them
to be on their guard, but they fail
ed to heed his advice. The Indians
crossing the river in canoes and
then slipping up on the block house
seemed almost real. The old hound
chained to the block house never
whimpered to warn the settlers of
their danger. The settlers were
murdered, scalped, piled up in the
block house, then it was fired and
burned to the ground. John Stacy,
the boy who crawled out upon the
roof, was shot and rolled off the
block house dead. The pageant
seemed almost real. The grange is
to be commended for their work in
preparing and presenting such an
interesting and educational play.
The day was ideal and the crowd
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the pic
nic.—C. R. M.
