Wintermoyer’s Store Targeted In Shepherdstown Robbery Attempt
A Tuesday 2 a.m. raid on Jacob Wintermoyer’s clothing store in Shepherdstown failed as the owner’s son fired shots. A suspect, Filward Keyser of Hagerstown, was arrested later and held for grand jury action, while others say Keyser fled toward Charles Town. The repeated break-ins mark the eighth raid on the store since Wintermoyer started business. A second flood struck Shepherdstown that night, swelling Main and Princess streets into temporary rivers and washing out recent road repairs. Gardens and plantings suffered, and town officials must redo flood repairs at high cost. The Death Record notes the passing of Thomas E. Byers of Martinsburg, a longtime rail dispatcher, aged about 50, and Walter Henry Russell Jackson, a one-year-old child of J. H. and Mary D. Jackson, at Kearneysville.
