Mr Kilcoin Died Yesterday
South Cumberland, Monday
Mr. Bartholomew Kilcoin died yesterday at the home of his daughter, Mrs Bernard H. Doll, 92 Elder street, where he had been making his home for several months past. Mr Kilcoin was 85 years of age and was a man well known and much esteemed throughout Allegany county, having resided in this vicinity for more than fifty years. He was born in County Sligo, Ireland, and left his native county to settle in the United States In 1849, coming across the Atlantic. Mr. Kilcoin endured trying experiences of which he often spoke to his associates later in life. The vessel in which he sailed was shipwrecked and he was ten weeks and three days on sea and during the greater part of that time neither he or his companions expected ever to see land again, It was in month of January 1850 when he reached New York. Shortly afterward he came to Cumberland, the farthest point westward reached by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad in those days. Mr Kilcoin first found employment upon farms in the Murley Branch Valley and later went to the estate of Mr. John H. Piper at Flintstone, where he remained three years. In March, 1855 he sent to Ireland for his wife and child Luke Kilcoin, who was born during his absence. For several years afterward Mr Kilcoin was employed in the old Flintstone tannery, then in charge of the late Col Charles Gilpin, and upon leaving that industry leased the farm of Dr T. P. Robossoson in that district and spent the remainder of his active days chiefly in agricultural pursuits. In August, 1864, Mr Kilcoin returned to Ireland with his family. He returned to Cumberland in April 1865 and rented the Whalen farm on the Baltimore pike, now the country place of Mr C. L. Bretz, where he remained four years until he purchased the Mrs Farrell farm on the Williams Road where he resided until declining years caused him to retire from active work a few years ago. Mr. Kilcoin was an ardent, enthusiastic Democrat, who never missed casting his ballot at election time, although he never thought of seeking office. His first vote was early in the civil war, when soldiers guarded the polls. Mr. Kilcoin's wife died in October 1890. He is survived by three children, Mr. Luke Kilcoin, of Bedford, Pa, Mrs. Winifred Doll, wife of Bernard H. Doll, of South Cumberland, and Mr Anthony Kilcoin, also of South Cumberland Two brothers of the deceased are living in Ireland. Another brother. Mr. John Kilcoin, formerly of Cumberland, died a few months ago in Johnstown, Pa. Mr Kilcoin had been a member of St. Patrick's church since coming to this city, more than a half century ago. The funeral arrangements have not been definitely decided upon, but the obsequies will probably take place at St. Patrick's church Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock.
