Notes:

Isaac BLOCHER was born about 1850 in Maryland. He died on 13 Oct 1912 in Garrett Co., Maryland. An automobile accident occurred four miles went of Frostburg yesterday afternoon at 12:30 o'clock, resultiug in the death of Isaac Blocher, and the injury of C. T. Long, and perhaps the fatal injury of three-year-old Emma Blocher, the granddaughter of Mr. Blocher. The exact cause of the accident is difficult to obtain. It appears, however, that Mr. Long, who lives on East Main Street, in this city, started in his automobile yesterday morning to go to Grantsville. When he arrived at the top of Little Savage Mountain he stopped to see Mr. Blocher, who is a farmer and whose home stands near the National road on the top of Little Savage Mountain. After a short while at the Blocher home, Mr. Long, it is said, invited Mr. Blocher and his young son(?) to take an automobile ride. They accepted, taking the child with them. They were spinning along nicely at the rate of about twenty-five miles an hour and had gotten nearly to the bottom of Little Savage mountain when the car skidded, for some reason, on the newly oiled road, and went with a terrible crash into a ditch. Mr. Blocher was pinned under the machine, while Mr. Long, young Blocher and the child were thrown onto the road. Parties from Mr. Thomas Johnson's, who lives but a short distance from the scene of the accident, arrived and with great difficulty extricated Mr. Blocher from under the machine. He and the child were taken to Mr. Blocher's home and Mr. Long to Mr. Johnson's residence, and Doctors J.C. Cobey, W. C. McLane, and J. F. DeNaoley, of Frostburg, phoned for. Arriving at Mr. Blocher's home they found the man to have sustained internal injuries and the child a fractured skull. Young Blocher escaped with a few bruises. After rendering surgical attention to the injured at the Blocher home, the physicians proceded to the Johnson residence to give attention to Mr. Long, whom they found had sustained a dislocated shoulder together with several contusions and cuts upon the body. After he was made as comfortable as possible, Mr. Long was brought to his home in this city. On his way back, Dr. Cobey stopped at the Blocher residence and brought the child with him to this city to the residence of its grandmother, Mrs. Wittacre, on West Union street, where it remains in a precarious condition. After lingering in great pain, Mr. Blocher succumbed to his injuries at 4:10 o'clock yesterday afternoon. He was between 60 and 65 years old and belonged to the old Blocher family of this county. He was highly respected and was well known in Frostburg. A few years ago his home was destroyed by fire and he had but recently completed the one in which he died yesterday.

The funeral of Mr. Isaac Blocher, who died at his home, four miles west of Frostburg on the top of Little Savage Mountain, on the National pike, Sunday evening at 4:30 o'clock, as the result of an automobile accident, four hours before his demise, an account of which was given in the Evening Times of yesterday, will take place from the home tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, with interment at the "Little Church" graveyard, near Johnsons and but a short distance from where the accident occurred. Mr. C. L. Long, of this city, who was injured in the accident and whose machine was wrecked, is reported as resting comfortably. The little three-year-old granddaughter of Mr. Isaac Blocker, who was with the party, and who sustained a fractured skull and other injuries, is doing well. She was brought to the home of her grandmother on West Main street, Mrs. Wittacre, after the accident, and is in a fair way back to recovery. The Evening Times, Cumberland, October 15, 1912
