Too often when local retirees move to other parts of the country & die yrs later, time dims the memories of the roles these persons have played in making their hometowns better places in which to live & raise families. Such was it with T. Donald Shires who expired in Tampa, Fl., last Sat. at age 77 yrs. He had retired on Jun 30 1975 after having worked for the Cumberland Times for 43 yrs, the last 11 of them as managing editor. Prior to that he had been city editor from 1947 to his promotion in 1964. As editor, he knew this section well from having been a reporter from the time he started in 1932. He was perhaps one of the 1st investigative reporters this area has seen. One of his notable exposes was an embezzlement of funds in the City of Cumberland tax office. Another splendid piece of reporting came when, at a time of crucial negotiations between Local 1874, Textile Workers Union of Amer., & Celanese Corp., he succeeded in getting the 2 parties together so they could effect an agreement & avoid a costly strike. These are just 2 examples of his skill as intuitive journalistic endeavors. There were many.

Throughout his active career he was a supporter of Cumberland, Allegany Co. & the tri-state area & the education of young people, be they in schools or working in his newsroom. Don Shires contributed much to his hometown, much of it in anonymous fashion. Our sympathies go to his wife, Peg; son, Don; his dau.-in-law & 5 grdchldrn & his bro. Hugh.

TRAGIC DEATH OF WILLIAM H. DEAL Prominent Citizen Fatally Injured by Fall From Building. William H. Deal, one of the prominent & most highly respected citizens of Meyersdale was fatally injured last Fri. while assisting his bro-in-law, James M. Cook, work on the garage which the latter is having constructed at the rear of the Cook candy factory. The building was originally a stable in which the horses & trucks used by the candy factory were kept. Mr. Cook recently had the stable torn down with the exception of the stone wall forming the basement. He has had this wall repaired & laid a concrete floor inside of it, placed heavy steel girders over the top & is roofing it over with concrete to form the 2nd floor with the view of adding a 2nd story later. It was while assisting Mr. Cook in laying this 2nd floor, or roof, that the fatal accident happened. Mr. Deal had hold of one end & Mr. Cook of the other end of a steel rod about 30 ft long, used in reinforcing concrete, & was walking out over the steel girders, when the sagging of the rod threw him off his balance & he stumbled & fell head foremost to the concrete floor 11 ft below. He landed on his head & shoulder & was completely stunned, never recovering consciousness. Drs. Large & Wenzel were called to give 1st aid, & pronounced his injury probably fatal, although there was no outward fracture of the skull. It was thought best to rush him to Allegany Hosp, Cumberland, & he was taken down on train No. 24 of the Baltimore & Ohio, but d at 8:30 P.M. The body was brought to his home on High St. by Undertaker J. W. Tressler, where funeral was held 1:30 pm Mon & was largely attended, Rev. J. Luther Frantz conducting funeral serv. & a male quartet from the choir of Zion Luth. Ch. --Messrs. S. B. & H. R. Philson & C. W. & W. H. Baldwin -- singing favorite hymns of the deceased. Rev. Frantz pronounced a deserved eulogy of the departed & there many beautiful floral tributes from friends & relatives who loved Mr. Deal dearly for his many sterling qualities. The body was laid to rest in Union Cem. William H. Deal was the 2nd son & 3rd chld of the 16 chldn of the late Edgar [EDWIN] & Nancy Deal, 69 yrs. All of this large family of chldn survived their parents, Harvey the youngest of them all, being the 1st to follow them to the spirit world, several yrs ago, & William being the 2nd to go. The surviving bro.s & sis.s: Herman & Calvin E. Deal, Mrs. J. M. Cook, Mrs. E. E. Conrad, Mrs. J. H. Pfahler & Ms Agnes Deal, all of Meyersdale; Mrs. W. H. Reiber, Confluence, Mrs. E. J. Boyles, Wilkinsburg, Levi Deal, Grove City, Charles Deal, Elkins, WV, Daniel, Ezra & Simon Deal & Mrs. D. P. Ford, Cumberland, MD. All of these were at the funeral, except Ms Agnes, who left last wk with her nephew & niece, Mr. & Mrs. Harold A. Bean on an automobile trip to NH. Mr. Deal is also survived by his wife, who was one of the twin daug.s of the late Jesse Cook, Sr., Wellersburg, a sis. of Jonas M. Cook, Somerset; 2 sons, Roy Deal, Detroit, MI., & Earl Deal, Ferris, PA, 1 dau., Mrs. Harry B. Snider, who has been making her home with her parents. William H. Deal was b. & reared at the old Deal homestead at what is now Deal Sta. on the Western MD RR in Larimer Twp, where his father was for many yrs a prosperous farmer, miller, millwright & lumberman. He located in Meyersdale many yrs ago with other memb.s of the family & has been connected with various local manufacturing enterprises. He was a good mechanic, an industrious workman & an upright citizen, highly esteemed by all who knew him. He was for many yrs an elder of Zion Evan. Luth. Ch., earnest worker in all activities of the Ch., Sun. school & Luth. bro.hood. At the solicitation of friends, Mr. Deal offered himself as a Rep. candidate for boro tax collector at the coming primary election. His is the only name appearing on the printed ballot for that office, his death occurring too late to have another name substituted.

[NI065215] Manges Cem., Shade Twp, behind the Coffee Hill School about a mile or so on a road off to your left & up to the top of the hill. They lived in Shade Twp in the Coffee Hill area probably close to Conemaugh Twp line. They were married about 1834/35. George was born in France and came to this country with his father George about 1827 to avoid conscription in the army. His father went back to France. Unfortunately, I don't know which part of France, but more than likely it would be the German/French speaking section of Alsace/Loraine next to Germany. I have no exact arrival date for him in this country (have checked all the ship records) and he may have entered illegally. Even though all of his children were born in Pa, he is not listed in the 1830, 1840, 1850 census of Pa., he first appears in the 1860 census (unless he was out of the area in another state during the census). However, I speculate that he may have been suspecious of census takers thinking they may send him back, so perhaps he disappeared during census times.

Ludwig probably lived in Philadelphia for a while, then he may have moved to York Co., PA, where his son Ludwig, may have returned for a while, following Rev. War. Johann Ludwig then moved to Middletown, Frederick Co., MD, where he lived until his death; he apparently could not write & signed his will with his mark "X" & duly witnessed.

JOHANN LUDWIG WISSINGER From Darmstadt, Hesse, Germany to Frederick Co, MD 1st discovered memb of Wissinger family to arrive in this country was Johann Ludwig Wissinger b Mar 6 1703 in Darmstadt Providence near Gross-Gerau, state of Hesse, Germany to Johann Georg Wissinger & Anna Felizitas Runger. & gson of Georg Wolfgang Wissinger (1613-1688) & Ursula Ukwn (1623-1688). This family was from the Mittelramstadt area of Bavaria, Germany. Johann Ludwig left Rotterdam, Germany on the ship Friendship at the age of 22 arriving in Philadelphia, Pa. on September 23, 1740. He swore allegiance to the Government of the English Colonies that very same day. Shortly thereafter, along with several other immigrants, Johann Ludwig traveled to western part of MD where he settled in beautiful valley between Catoctin & S Mtns in town of Middletown, Frederick Co. In 1742, Johann Ludwig m Catherine, b 1720 in York Co, PA & together they had 10 chdn (there is differing opinions on these children - see below). Johann Ludwig & Catherine were of Protestant faith & in 1750, Johann & his friends built a crude log structure for their ch. This bldg was used by Luth & Ref congregations until 1783 when the group disbanded. In 1771, Luths purchased an ac of land from Conrad Crone & in 1773, they built a sexangular log structure for their ch. This bldg was used until 1814 at which time they built a brick structure replacing it in 1859 with a larger brick structure, which is still standing, & in use today. This bldg was also used by government as a lookout & hosp during Civil War. Johann Ludwig lived & raised his family in this area until his death on Apr 12 1779. According to ch records, he d of a stroke at age of 60 ("60 Jahre Verheated [sic Verheirathet]"). Johann left a will leaving his possessions to his wife, Catherine, to use until she d at which time his son, Peter, was to divide all of his possessions equally among his sons & daus. There seems to be no record where Johann Ludwig is bur. Peter was also named to settle his father's estate which was located near "the 1st ch" a mi or so SW & at that time kwn as "Smithfield" (it later became part of Middletown). The will recorded by Catherine on May 8 1779. Catherine, however, had different ideas abt the will & on Sep 5 1793 she made her own will naming her dau Catherine as beneficiary to most of her belongings, the balance to be divided between Catherine & another dau Barbary (Elizabeth). Catherine d Sep 13 1793 & there is no record of where she is bur. In May of 1960, the Luth congregation decided to remove a small cem from rear of church to make room for an elementary annex. Abt 100 graves were moved to nearby larger cem. Johann Ludwig's grave could have been one of them or he may have been bur on his farm abt a mi out of Middletown where 3 of his chdn were laid to rest.
