A Brave West Virginian Dies Fighting the Sioux
The family of Mr. W. Brockmire formerly of Palatine,
this county, received two letters on Monday evening last. One from Col. Moore,
6th U. S. Infantry and the other from W. A. Burleigh, Clerk of the Steamer Far
West. Each containing the particulars of an engagement with the Sioux near the
mouth of Powder River, Dakota Territory, in which Mr. Brockmire lost his life
under the following circumstances.
The Steamer Far West was employed to carry supplies to
Gen. Terry's army operating against the hostile Sioux on the Big Horn River.
And when near the mouth of Powder River it was found that the boat was too
heavily laden and a part of the cargo was unloaded and the steamer proceeded on
her way. Upon returning for the supplies it was found they had been destroyed
by Indians who occupied the banks of the river in force and made threatening
demonstrations toward the boat. A few shells from a twelve pounder on board
dispersed them however. Col. Moore, who with three companies of infantry, was
on board the boat, called for three volunteers - scouts to reconnoiter their
position and determine their strength.
Mr. Brockmire and two others responded to the call and
immediately left the steamer. But before they had proceeded far they were
attacked by a large force of Indians and started as fast as possible to the
boat. Six Indians endeavored by circling them to cut off their retreat and Mr.
Brockmire's horse was soon shot and fell breaking his gun. He had been shot
through the arm previously and disabled. And while attempting to rise, a Sioux
rode up to him and shot him through the stomach. The discharge of the Indian's
gun caused the scouts to turn and see the Indian dismount in the act of
scalping the wounded man. They both fired on him at once and he fell pierced by
two balls. They then returned, scalped the Indian and brought Mr. Brockmire on
board the boat. He died the same evening of the occurrence and was buried at
the mouth of the Powder River.
Mr. Brockmire was the son of Samuel Brockmire of
Palatine and was well and favorably known in that community. He was employed as
a volunteer scout under Gen. Terry's command and his officers speak in
complimentary terms of his brave conduct and gentlemanly deportment while in
the service. His relatives and friends have our sincere sympathy in their great
affliction.

From the book "A 200TH ANNIVERSARY HISTORY OF NOBLESTOWN,

Edward Jennings, an owner of several
oil leases, is still remembered by some of the elder citizens of the area. One
of his employees, William Shrum (Hazel Galloway's father), worked for Mr.
Jennings at a time when the Presbyterian Church had some rough financial times.
Whenever Mr. Shrum, an elder of the church, mentioned this to Mr. Jennings, he
would often make a donation of $50 or $30, a substantial amount for those
times.

From the book "A 200TH ANNIVERSARY HISTORY OF NOBLESTOWN,
PENNSYLVANIA (1796-1996)" by Robert G. Larimer, page 54,
Hazel Galloway, life-long resident of
Noblestown and in her 92nd year, recalls the meeting of her father, William
Shrum, and her mother, Alice May Brockmyer . It seems William had invited May's
sister to go on a date. When her sister got sick, May took her place. Not long
after, Miss May Brockmyer became Mrs. William Shrum. (We do not know what the
sister thought about that.) Both were faithful members at the Presbyterian
Church. William also served as elder and May taught the women's Bible
class.

John James shipped aboard a vessel taking horses to South Africa during the
Boer War from Oct 11 1898 to May 31 1902. He arrived in South Africa after the
conflict was over.
He wrote this letter during his voyage to Bertha
Brockmyer.
John James was sent to study Electrical Engineering at Holy Ghost College
(now Duquesne), but did not complete his education.
John James and his family have lived in Cherry Valley in 1910, and lived in
Midway in 1911 or 1912 in two different houses. He then moved to St. Mary's in
late spring of 1913. He worked in the oil refinery while at Saint Mary's. His
children Peg and Jack contacted polio during this time. He probably cursed the
day he moved to St. Mary's, West Virginia because of the polio. Besides they
did not sell whiskey. Anyway part of his job required him to stack barrels of
oil by hand. He stated they weighed over 500 lbs.
Once someone (probably one of his kid that wrote a note) saw him pick up
the mattress with Peg on it and carry it down the hall to another bedroom and
put it on the bed. Some feat for a man with an artificial leg.
John James then returned to McDonald, Pennsylvania in the Fall of 1915.
He was married to Sarah Elizabeth "Bessie"
RUSSELL on 11 Oct 1904 in Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania. They
were married in the Methodist Bookrooms on Fifth and Penn.

"Christians recognize with all
persons the inevitablility of death. The central doctrine of the Christian
faith is the resurrection. Christians affirm their common faith in their
attitude toward death and in their witness during the approach and experience
of death. The reality of death, with all of its attendant sorrow and sense of
loss, must be anticipated for us all, and there must be created the kind of
health of mind and spirit that allows Christians to live their faith in this
critical area of human existance. Christians should seek to make the occasion
of death a time in which they reaffirm with joy the hope of the
gospel."
