JAMES DARNLEY
Mr. Darnley, 79, Called By Death
Remains Brought Here From Jenkins, Ky., For Burial Friday
James Darnley, aged 79 years, for nearly half a century a resident and respected citizen of Meyersdale, died Monday at the home of his son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Darnley, at Jenkins, Kentucky, where he had been visiting since Christmas Day.
Mr. Darnley, a son of the late John and Catherine (Mackey) Darnley, was born September 15, 1862 in Pekin, Md., where he was engaged with his father in the mining of coal in the Georges Creek region of Maryland. Before he had arrived at the age of majority for a time the family resided in Meyersdale in the brick dwelling house on the corner of Center Street and Broadway, which served as the parsonage of the Lutheran church, and which was razed when the present church edifice was in course of construction and the present parsonage on Front Street was purchased. During their brief residence here Mr. Darnley and his son dug coal in what was then known as the Shaw Mine.
Later, however, Mr. Darnley was united in marriage with Miss Edith Guthrie, a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Robert Guthrie, who conducted the hotel known as the Keystone House, Salisbury Street. Shortly following their marriage Mr. and Mrs. Darnley took up their residence in Meyersdale, and it was about this time that Mr. Darnley became a fireman on the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad and in due course of time was promoted to the position of engineer which he held until the time of his retirement several years ago.
Mr. Darnley was several times honored by the voters of Meyersdale with election as a member of the borough council, and also served as president of that body. He was also an active and influential member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, Connellsville Division. He also held membership in Zion Evangelical Church and of Meyersdale Lodge No. 554 Free and Accepted Masons. Before leaving Lonaconing he was actively identified with the volunteer fire department of that city, which organization frequently visited Meyersdale upon gala occasion, participating in the scheduled drills and contests, usually winning their share of the premiums.
Mrs. Darnley passed away about two years ago in the family home, Naugle Apartments, and since then Mr. Darnley's health began to decline, and within the past year his condition at times was quite critical until last Monday when death came to relieve him of his suffering. Surviving are two sons, C. L. Darnley, Jenkins, Ky; and Robert Darnley, Cumberland, Md. One brother, David Darnley, of Lonaconing, and five sisters, Mrs. Jane Trumbull, Mrs. Kate Harding, Mrs. Christina Doolan, Lonaconing, and Mrs. Nettie Brethany and Mrs. Maud McFarland, Cumberland, Md; also survive.
Mr. Darnley, during his long residence here made many friends who always held him in the highest esteem. He possessed numerous outstanding qualities, among them generosity and helpfulness, to which he freely exercised when opportunity offered, and as such he will always be remembered by the many with whom he came in contact.
The body was brought to Meyersdale on Wednesday evening and taken to the Price Funeral Home, on Main Street, where it lay in state until this (Friday) afternoon at 2 o'clock, when funeral services will be conducted by the Rev. Howard K. Hilner, pastor of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church. Interment in Union Cemetery under the direction of W. C. Price and Son, Meyersdale morticians.
