Robert B. McGlumphy, aged 82, a well-known citizen of this place and a former Burgess of the Borough, died tonight in the home of his son, Leo McGlumphy in Elm Street.
Mr. McGlumphy had not been in good health since a fall on Thanksgiving day, in which he was badly bruised and shocked, but his death was unexpected as he had seemed better recently.
A son of Henry and Martha McGlumphy, he was born October 17, 1853, in Rogersville, Greene County. Learning the black smithing and wagon maker trade in his early youth, he was for many years in business in Nineveh, Greene Co Pa. An expert blacksmith in the early days of the oil business, he did much work for contractors.
About 20 years ago he removed to Claysville continuing in the blacksmith trade, later taking up the work of automobile repairing with his son. He served several years as a burgess of Claysville and while living in Nineveh had served as justice of the peace. He was a member, and for many years an elder in Claysville Presbyterian church. He was a member of the POSB.of A.
He leaves three children, George M. McGlumphy and Mrs. Gaylord K. Lewis, of Washington; and Leo McGlumphy of Rogersville; and the following brothers and sisters; Salem McGlumphy, Waynesburg; Mrs. Rachel Thompson, of Rogersville; Newton McGlumphy, of Elm Grove, W Va.; George R. McGlumphy, of Washington; Mrs. C. S. Gavin, of Waynesburg; and Mrs. Flora Goodwin, of Enon.
