Death	17 Jul 1940	Cresaptown, Allegany County, Maryland
Notes	While returning in a wagon to their home along Tonoloway Mountain, four miles west of Hancock, about 8 o'clock at night, John McCusker, his son, Claude McCusker, and William Pryor, who was in the wagon with them, were shot from ambush. John McCusker is the most severely hurt, having been shot in the back of the head, in the temple and in the back and shoulders. Dr. James A. West, of Hancock, who was hastily summoned, picked about 25 bird shot from his wounds. Claude McCusker was peppered in the face, as was also Pryor, who may loose his eyesight. Dr. West thiuks the sight of one eye is gone, as a shot penetrated the eyeball. James Stottlemyer, who was also in the party, was unhurt. The men were all in a merry mood and left Hancock shortly after dark in McCusker's wagon. They postively refuse to state who shot them, but it is understood a young man who had been husking corn in a field along the road is accused. The Hagerstown Mail, October 26, 1900.
