'Michael Nuce. One of Monongalia county's oldest and most picturesque residents, Michael (Uncle Mike) Nuce, 90, died on Saturday morning in his home near Rock Forge. His death was caused by complications following a dislocated hip and other injuries suffered in a fall late last summer. The funeral will be conducted in Davidson's chapel at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Interment will be in East Oak Grove cemetery. The widely-known nonagenarian spent his lifetime and died on the farm where he was born. His parents were Michael and Susan Homer Nuce. He lived to see all his immediate relatives pass on except one brother, Abraham, 93, who lives on the old Kingwood Pike. A number of nieces and nephews also survive. Included is Mrs. Horace G. Flanagan, who lived at the Nuce Homestead. Nuce was looked upon by his neighbors and friends as a shrewd, but unerringly fair dealer. Many of his activities had become almost legendary with his associates.'
