MOLONEY, ORWIG, KELLEY, JORDAN

Miss Kathryn MOLONEY, for 16 years proprietor of a dry goods store here,
died Tuesday morning, May 8, at the home of her sister, Miss Hannah J.
MOLONEY in Pittsburg. She had been ill for three years of rheumatism and a
complication of diseases, which at last caused her death. She made her home
with her sister during the last three years.
Miss MOLONEY was born May 9, 1862 at Bowerstown, Ohio, the daughter of
Patrick and Bridget MOLONEY. When about ten years old her family moved to
McDonald and until compelled to travel for her health she lived in this
city. She attended the public schools and graduated from the Oakdale
academy. For over sixteen years Miss MOLONEY conducted the dry goods store
in Lincoln avenue, now conducted by her sister, Miss Bridget Gertrude
MOLONEY.
She was a devout and faithful member of St. Alphonsus church, and was a
member of the L. C. B. A., the C. R. M. B. A, and of the McDonald Hive,
Ladies of the Maccabees.
Miss MOLONEY is survived by three sisters and three brothers: Miss Hanna
Josephine MOLONEY of Pittsburg, Mrs. Mary Frances GILMOUR of Terre Haute,
Ind., Miss Bridget Gertrude MOLONEY of McDonald; Patrick MOLONEY of
Chillicothe, Ohio, Michael MOLONEY of Columbus, Ohio, and John MOLONEY, of
Carnegie.
Funeral services were held Friday morning at 8:45 o'clock in the St.
Alphonsus Roman Catholic church here, and interment was made in
Steubenville.

Dr. ORWIG received word yesterday telling him of the death of his brother
Dr. J. B. ORWIG, of Toledo, Ohio. Mr. ORWIG died very suddenly. Dr. ORWIG
expects to leave today to attend the funeral of his brother.

While trying to board a moving eastbound train at the city depot Friday
night, Edward L. KELLEY, aged 30 years, well-known oil driller and son of M.
C. KELLEY of Washington, Pa., was thrown under the wheels and so badly
injured that his death occurred within a few minutes. His right arm and leg
were severed from his body. Several persons witnessed the accident and he
was immediately picked up and taken into the depot, but life was extinct
before the doctors arrived.
For nine years Mr. KELLEY was employed in the oil fields in the vicinity of
Bakersfield, California. He returned to Washington last November following
the death of his wife, which occurred last spring. For several weeks he had
been employed drilling at Dennison, Ohio, and was en route to his home in
Washington when the accident occurred.
His mother, Mrs. M. C. KELLEY, died suddenly of heart failure on March 16
at Elizabeth while visiting her husband who was employed at that place at
the time.
Mr. KELLEY leaves a son, Edward L. KELLEY, Jr., aged three years, who
resides with his aunt, Mrs. John MALONEY, of Binghamton, N. Y. His father
survives with one brother, William KELLEY of Washington, and one sister,
Mrs. James BLANKINSOP, of Cleveland, Ohio.
Mr. KELLEY was a member of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and of
B. P. O. Elks lodge, No. 266, of Bakersfield, Calif.
The body was taken charge of by Deputy Coroner H. F. HUMPHRIES, of this
city, and was taken to Washington Saturday.


Died: On Thursday morning, May 10, 1917, at her home in Station street,
Mrs. Ella JORDAN, wife of the Rev. J. P. JORDAN, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church of McDonald.
Mrs. JORDAN had not been in vigorous health for some time, but her
indisposition was not considered serious by her or her friends and family,
and she continued her active duties in home and church up to the day of her
death.
Beloved by all who knew her, active in every good work, especially in the
various societies connected with the church, she will be much missed by a
large circle of acquaintances and friends. Rev. JORDAN and the two sons
have the sympathy of the entire community in their sudden bereavement.
Mrs. JORDAN is survived by her husband, the Rev. J. P. JORDAN, two sons,
Paul, a student in Pitt University, and Howard, a student in the University
of Michigan at Ann Arbor, and two sisters, Mrs. Alice Pickle of Coatesville,
Pa., and Mrs. KROUSE, wife of the Rev. W. P. KROUSE of Stanhope, N. J.
The funeral services will be held in the First Presbyterian church on
Sunday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in charge of the Rev. J. M. DUFF of
Carnegie, assisted by Rev. C. S. MCLELLAND, of Mt. Washington and Rev. J. T.
GIBSON of Pittsburg. Interment will be in Robinson Run cemetery.
