Theodore P. Elias, 74, a decorated
World War II airman, professional pool player, and a local aluminum siding
contractor, died Wednesday, in his home.
Since January, he had been seriously
ill with lung and brain cancer, his wife, Patsy, said.
From 1955 until his illness, he
operated Fostoria Aluminum Siding Co., doing the selling and installations.
Born in Fairfield, Me., Mr. Elias at
age 8 learned to play pool in an establishment operated by his father, the late
William Elias. Completely self-taught, he soon became expert at the game and
was especially good at straight pool, his wife said.
The game temporarily was put on hold
while he served in the U.S. Army Air Corps during World War II. A radio
operator and a machine gunner, he was shot down over Yugoslavia and was reported
missing in action for nine days as he and crewmen, with the help of the
underground, safely reached allied lines, his wife said.
Medals he received included the Purple
Heart, the air medal with three oak clusters, and an European-African-Middle
Eastern Theater Campaign service award with five Bronze Stars.
Upon leaving service, Mr. Elias made
his new home, initially in Mansfield, O., and then in Fostoria.
Devoted to pool and billiards his
entire life, he entered amateur and professional competitions and was
recognized as one of the outstanding national players.
''He was known as a money player,''
Mrs. Elias said. ''We had a table in our home, and top-rated players from all
over the country came to compete individually.
''My husband played against many
well-known experts, and frequently won.''
His first major professional win was in
1968 at the Stardust Open Professional Billiard Tournament in Nevada, his wife
recalled. In addition to Ohio tournaments, he traveled to many states to
compete.
''He was a gentleman of the game,
highly respected by all and an inspiration to players,'' his wife said.
He won top honors in many other
competitions, both amateur and professional. Wins in recent years before he
gave up the game to devote more time to his business, included a third place in
the 1994 World 8 Ball Team Tournament and first in the 1996 OCMA Valley League
State Tournament.
He was member of St. Wendelin Catholic
Church.
Surviving are his wife, Patsy, and
brothers, Edward and Richard Elias.
The body will be in the Mann-Hare
Mortuary, Fostoria, after 1 p.m. today. Services will be at 1 p.m. tomorrow in
St. Wendelin Catholic Church, Fostoria.
The family requests tributes to
Community Hospice Care.

Phyllis McCurdy dies
at 69; loved
job at nursing
home
By Kelly Treadway, Argus
Leader Staff
FLANDREAU -- Phyllis McCurdy didn't
retire from her job at the Riverview Manor Nursing Home in Flandreau until she
was 68.
She was doing work that she loved, said
her son, Ron Christensen of Sioux Falls.
Mrs. McCurdy cared for the elderly in the nursing home for the past 20
years as a nurse's aide, cook and friend.
Phyllis McCurdy, 69, died Sunday, March
8, 1998, in McKennan Hospital in Sioux Falls.
Mrs. McCurdy was a nurse's aide for the
first 15 years she worked in the nursing home and cooked all the meals served
in the home for five years. Mr. Christensen
said his mother also was active in the community life of the nursing home. She lived in an apartment in the home after
her home burned down in 1991.
"She enjoyed entertaining the
residents, often singing to them at programs and while she was cooking. They really appreciated that. She also attended church with them," Mr.
Christensen said.
Mr. Christensen said his
mother was a spunky person who liked to joke and have fun. She also was a person who spoke her mind.
"She would flat out tell people
the way it was. You always knew where
you stood with her. She felt it was
important to speak what was on her mind, and not put it off," he
said. "She knew that problems only
grow bigger when you don't talk about them."
When there was a spare moment, Mrs.
McCurdy was cross-stitching or embroidering, said Mr. Christensen. His mother made gifts for the nursing home
residents, family and friends. She liked
to make quilts, pillow cases and couch throw covers. Mrs. McCurdy also enjoyed crossword puzzles
and old Western movies, especially John Wayne and Clint Eastwood movies, her
son said.
Mrs. McCurdy treasured her dog,
Itty-bit, said her son. The dog has
lived with her son since she moved to the apartment in the nursing home.
"She loved animals
and always had a dog at home. When
Itty-bit lived with her, she'd cook right off the stove for her. Whatever she made for herself, the dog got a
plate too," said Mr. Christensen.
"Itty-bit looked like a walking
pillow when she moved to our home. When
Mom came to visit, the dog went nuts.
Mom would give her food under the table, and she slept with Mom at
night, right on her pillow."
Phyllis Lamp was born March 5, 1929, in
Austin, Minn. She attended school in
Flandreau. She married Stanley
Christensen in 1947.
She married Ronald McCurdy March 26,
1972, in Brookings. He died Jan. 30,
1990.
She was a member of Our Saviors
Lutheran Church and WELCA.
In addition to her son, survivors
include her children: Karen Johnson of
Pioneer, Ohio; Jean "Jaye"
Walker of Norfolk, Neb.; and Michael and Martha Ziegenhagen of New
Britain, Conn.; 13 grandchilden; several great-grandchildren; two brothers: Gary Lamp of Eustace, Texas, and Loren Lamp;
and one sister, Nila Cleveland.
Funeral services will be

Cemetery in Flandreau.

N' Park Restaurant in Weirton.
"The two had been friends for a
long time," said Nancy Patterson, Matt's mother. "He had worked Friday night at the
Airport Marriott and spent the night at Brian's house. They were going back to Brian's."
Matt was driving south on Route 18
about 8:38 a.m. on June 27 when his car crossed into the northbound lanes,
striking a car driven by Richard Hawthorne, 39, of Weirton, said Smith Township
police Chief Robert King.
He was flown by emergency helicopter to
the Pittsburgh hospital.
Brian was treated at Weirton Medical
Center and released the following day.
Hawthorne, who also was flown to
Presbyterian hospital by emergency helicopter, was released from the hospital
on Sunday.
"It looks like he turned into the
parking lot at Panhandle Foods," King said. "Hawthorne's car hit the rear quarter
panel on the passenger side of the boy's car, spinning it around. His car spun around 360 degrees before
hitting a utility pole."
"The impact with the pole was
directly on the driver's door of the boy's car," King said.
Nancy Patterson said her son was a
personable young man with many friends.
He recently completed his sophomore year at Burgettstown High School and
was planning to return to Madonna High School in Weirton in the fall, where he
had attended classes as a freshman.
He was a very good kid and very much
loved.
Matt also loved music, said his
mother. He had his red belt in karate,
having taken lessons for the past five years at a studio in Weirton. And he was enjoying a new sport - track.
"He was just learning, so he tried
it all," Mrs. Patterson said of her son.
"But he enjoyed it."
In addition to his mother, Matt is
survived by his father, Tom; a sister, Caitlin; paternal grandparents, Clarence
and Irene Patterson of Burgettstown; and maternal grandmother, Dorothy Brown of
Wellsburg, W.Va.
He was preceded in death by his
maternal grandfather, John Wenzel.

a former Oldtown resident, died July 25 at a Sandpoint care center of natural
causes.
A graveside inurnment will be held
Wednesday, July 29, at 10 a.m., at the Newport Cemetery.
He was born March 8, 1901, near
Gordon, Neb., to Q.M. and Frances (Morris) Skinner.
He worked most of his life on cattle
ranches. He lived and proved up a homestead near Trump, Colo. In 1938 he moved
to Idaho and bought land in the Vay area, where he lived for 11 years.
He worked on the construction of Camp
Farragut during World War II and also worked at the Hunter's Point Naval Base
in California and at Hanford Atomic Works.
He later went to work for Diamond National
Lumber Co. and spent 12 years there before retiring in 1962. After retirement,
he moved to the Oldtown area. **
Survivors include his wife, Retha

this correction: "The newspaper
made a mistake in saying he moved to Oldtown after his retirement. He had moved
from Vay, Idaho, in 1949 to work at the sawmill and didn't leave there until
around 1996 when he went to a senior citizens housing complex and later to the
nursing home."

earth from June 20, 1927, to Dec. 28, 1998, when he died suddenly in his
home.
His [sic] is remembered by

was boundless.
Walt was born in St. Louis, where he

the Army, he returned to Missouri to attend the Missouri School of Mines. Upon graduating in 1952, he began his career
as a mining engineer for the Anaconda Co. in Butte.

retired to Georgetown Lake. There, Walt
and Ruth lived in the house they built together. Fishing, cross country skiing, hunting, wine
making, carpentry and celebrating life with family and friends were all
pastimes he enjoyed.
