CAR CRASH, STROKE BRING DEATH OF REV. McCONNELL
The Rev. Carl G. McCONNELL, (SRGP 02469) retired Elmira
pastor, died yesterday at Sanford, Fla., from the effects of an automobile
accident and a stroke the preceding day. He was 69. Mr. McConnell was pastor
of Centenary Methodist Church here from 1922 to 1930. He and Mrs. McConnell
were vacationing in Florida for the winter. Police at Sanford said the
minister was suffering from high blood pressure and apparently “blacked
out” while driving his car. The vehicle crashed against one driven by James
S. Thorpe of Sanford. Police said Mr. McConnell suffered a stroke shortly
after the crash. He was taken to a hospital in critical condition. Mrs.
McConnell was also hospitalized for shock but her condition is not regarded
as serious. Dr. Joseph J. McConnell of Elmira, the elderly couple’s son,
was expected to arrive in Sanford late last night. Dr. McConnell tried
to get plane reservations out of Elmira but all aircraft were grounded
because of the weather. Instead, he went by train to Hoboken and then flew
to the Florida community. The McConnells have another son, the Rev. James
McConnell, a Methodist minister at Liverpool, N.Y. A native of Elk Run,
Pa., the pastor emeritus of Centenary became superintendent of the Syracuse
Western District after leaving Elmira. In 1935 he moved to Geneva; in 1941
to Oneida; and in 1934 his health called for an early retirement. He had
lived in Elmira since his retirement. For the past two seasons he and Mrs.
McConnell spent their winters in Florida as the minister strove to regain
his health. The title of “pastor emeritus” was bestowed on Mr. McConnell
by his congregation at Centenary when he returned one day to direct the
service.Special tributes were paid him at that time for Centenary’s “great
spiritual strides” while it was his charge.

Mr GRIFFITHS did not preach a funeral sermon, composing
and reading the following poem instead:
Farewell, Delos! we'll never know
This side of the "Great Divide,"
The meaning of that pulley-blow,
The tragic death you died;
But we, your neighbors and your friends
Will never quite forget
How folks, with sympathetic ends
About your casket met.
The countryside iscast in gloom
Both old and young are sa,
That you, so soon, should meet your doom,
A bright, industrious lad.
Your mother and your dad are grieved,
God give them needful grace,
And may the children, sore bereaved,
Behold God's loving face.
The gracious folks in whose employ
You labored to the end,
Are crushedwith sorrow o'er the boy
Their hearts would fain defend.
God bless your passing- youthful Mudge,
Reveal the gain in loss,
And we will trust the Righteous Judge
To make all plain, Delos.

!No No! Not dead, just laid away from sight,
To slumber undisturbed through one long night;
Instead of many brief ones, such as fall
In swift recurrence o’er us, one and all.
If thou are glad to lay thy weary head
Upon the pillow of thy nightly bed,
And lose thyself in slumber, wherefore weep
When loved ones rest in Nature’s dreamless sleep?
Since now we wake when night has diedIn the old likeness of the former day,
May we not hope to see them face to face
Who in the churchyard have their resting place?
Believe the Master; o’er and o’er He said—
--Not dead –not dead!"

forenoon at a saw mill about four miles from Fall Brook and died at half

Stephen was in his twenty-first year and was a prime favorite among his acquaintances. From the time of his injury until his death he was conscious and consoled his parents with comforting words. He was a member of the Methodist church of Elk Run; he was a young man of clean habits and exemplary conduct and a large circle of friends are saddened at his sudden death. Stephen was working with his father and some other men on a sawing job near Fall Brook. In some manner a wedge had worked out so that it projected and as Stephen was passing along the line shaft one of his trouser legs was caught by this wedge and in less time than it takes to tell he was carried part way around the shaft. His left arm was torn loose and right leg broken. Hardly a shred of clothing was left on him. It was over a mile to the nearest telephone but as soon as possible Dr. Neal of Mansfield, accompanied by the young man's mother, responded and did what he could do to alleviate the young man's sufferings. Later her was removed to the State Hospital at Blossburg, arriving there about six o'clock that evening, and died at half past six. Examination disclosed that one of his lungs was punctured by a broken rib, which caused his death. |

And by angel's hands attended,
Jesus bids me welcome home.
