CARNEY, James - Mr. James Carney, one of the old and highly respected citizens of our county, living in Mountain township, met with his death last week in a very sad and unexpected manner. He was returning home from West Fork in a wagon, sitting in a rocking chair when one of the wheels struck a large rock and Mr. Carney was thrown out and his neck broken. The deceased was at one time sheriff of our county and made an honest and efficient officer. All who knew him sadly regret his untimely end.
