Peter McDermit Killed Under Cars

Peter McDermit, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry McDermit, of 510 Charles street, and employed as a conductor by the B. & O., while in discharge of his duties, met with an accident last evening at 10:45 that resulted in instant death.

It is not known just how the accident occurred. Last evening he reported for duty at 6 o'clock at the yard office and as work was slack at the docks, where he was regularly assigned with a crew, he was instructed to go to the east yards to transfer coal form the B. & O. yards to the yard of the steel plant. Up until the time of his death everything went along nicely and the terrible arrair was not discovered until a large number of cars had been shifted. The crew was about to leave the steel plant yard when he was missed and a search was institued for him. Almost immediately his mangled body was found lying on the track, part on one side and part on the other, his body being severed in two at the stomach. Six or seven cars passed over it. His right leg and left arm was badly mangled. At the time of the accident he was engaged in cutting cars and it is believed that he stepped between two of them and caught his foot in some manner between the switch. His body was immediately placed on the engine and taken to the yard office and from there to Wickens & Ransom's morgue. This morning an inquest was held by Corner French.

McDermit had been employed by B. & O. for the past three years and was one of the most popular railroad men on the road. He was unmarried and 24 years of age and a member of the B. of R.T., of this city and a Good Templars. To mourn his death he leaves his parents, Mr. & Mrs. Henry McDermit, and two brothers and one sister.

Leukemia claims 'Red' McVeigh at 57

Keeping streets in good shape, digging ditches, and picking up are not glamour jobs, but such essential work was the province of Harold "Red" McVeigh, who devoted more than 30 of his 57 years to those labors in North Ridgemille. Mr. McVeigh, who battled for a year against leukemia, died Sunday night at Elyria Memorial Hospital, where he was admitted one day earlier. A lifelong North Ridgeville resident, he had retired as service department superintendent Jan. 1. Employed with the city 33 years, he had been road superintendent since Jan 2., 1980 when he was appointed by Mayor Richard Noll to replace Joe Bachna, who took the job back following Mr. McVeigh's retirement. A member of the street department crew since 1950, Mr. McVeigh served as street superintendent from 1964-78. In February, more than 200 officials and friends, including Noll and former mayors Charles Stuart and Paul Sweda, honored Mr. McVeigh with a surprise party, and a proclamation and plaque from Mayor Floyd Peaco naming Feb. 26 Harold E. McVeigh Day. "I know he helped an awful lot of people," said Peaco this morning, adding "and the prayers of all the families here at city hall are with his family." Until 1971, Mr. McVeigh was a part-time farmer, concentrating on the growing of soy beans and corn. Mr. McVeigh lived his entire life in the house where he was born. A graduate of North Ridgeville High School, his interests included restoring antique cars, and gardening. An avid horse racing fan, he frequently enjoyed races at Northfield Park. He is survived by his wife, Lillian (nee Starkey), to whom he was married 37 years; sons, Glenn H. and Gary; and a daughter, Ellen, all of North Ridgeville; and four grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his father, Everett, in 1966, and his mother, Fern, in 1963. Friends may call at the Bogner Funeral Home, North Ridgeville, Tuesday from 2-4 and 7-9 pm. Services will be Wednesday at 1:30 p.m. at the funeral home with the Rev. Dr. Priscilla Shoup, pastor of the First Congregational Church of Christ, officiating.

Obituary, Belden, April 17,1881

Miss Elizabeth Welburn was born in Fimber, Yorkshire, England, May 14th,1791. Died April 11th, 1881, aged 90 years, and eleven months. She was married to Crispen Mennell, February 3rd, 1809. They immigrated to America in 1817, and settled in Albany, N.Y., where they resided for three years, they then moved to Pittsfield, Mass., where they lived for six years.In 1826, they came to Grafton, Lorain County, Ohio, where they continued to reside until the death of Mr. Mennell, which occurred May 22nd, 1857. Since that time Auntie (as she was familiarly known by her friends), has lived with her son, Mr. D. Mennell, and has ever been noted for her amiability and kindness of disposition. It was the writer's privilege to be at her bedside during her last hours. Although her sufferings were intense, she neither murmured nor complained. She was highly respected by all who knew her, and her memory will long be cherished by her family and many friends. The funeral services were held in the M.E. Church at Belden, April 13th, 1881, and were conducted by Rev. G.L. Hanawalt, who preached an appropriate and impressive sermon from these words: “ Whoso offereth praise glorieth Me, and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I show the salvation of God”.

** Although her maiden name is given as Welburn in the newspaper obituary, Williams 1879 History of Lorain County, gives her maiden name as Wellborn.
