The following newpaper clipping just came to me via the Rootsweb pml bounce
system. The name Albert Clauser shows up in about the fourth paragraph.
As you can see, he was chief of police for Port Allegany, Pennsylvania.
Since this was only in 1943, perhaps he was closely related to one of you?
Just thought I would pass it along.

From the Potter County Journal Thursday, August 12, 1943:<BR>
BRIDE SUCCUMBS UNEXPECTEDLY IN LOCAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE SUN.<BR>
Mrs. Mabel Anderson Woodworth, a bride of three months, aged 23 years, die=
d unexpectedly in the office of Dr. C.E. Baxter on Sunday afternoon at
2:20=20=
o'clock as she was preparing to undergo an operation for the removal of tons=
ils.<BR>
Dr. Baxter injected novacaine into the tonsils and while waiting for the n=
ovacaine to work, Mrs. Woodworth fainted and although Dr. Baxter and Dr. Her=
man C. Mosch--who had been summoned--worked over her for three quarters of a=
n hour with stimulants, artificial resperation and oxygen, there was no resp=
onse and she was pronounced dead.<BR>
Coroner Phillip R. Shaw was notified and set 7:30 o'clock that evening
as=20=
the time for an autopsy at the Gallup Funeral Home in Port Allegany where th=
e body was taken.<BR>
The autopsy was performed by Dr. Mosch, assisted by Dr. A.F. Domaleski, in=
the presence of Sheriff John Chamberlin, District Attorney Walter P. Wells,=
Coroner Philip R. Shaw, Dr. C.E. Baxter, Dr. Leo Hellman, Dr. Albert Colema=
n and chief of police Albert CLAUSER of Port Allegany. <BR>
At the request of the Coroner, Drs. Hellman and Colcord were present at th=
e autopsy to represent the family of the deceased.<BR>
Findings of the autopsy showed that the operation had progressed only as f=
ar as injecting the anesthetic. Further examination showed that there was no=
thing else pertinent to death except the extreme enlargement of the thymus g=
land.<BR>
Drs. Domaleski and Mosch and Coroner Shaw all stated that the exact functi=
on of the thymus gland is very obscure. They did, however point out that
in=20=
many instances, death while under anesthetic is associated with an
enlarged=20=
thymic gland. This association, however, is as yet not clearly understood by=
medical science.<BR>
Mrs. Woodworth, who had been employed at the Coudersport Silk Mill for sev=
eral years, is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Nels Anderson of Port Allegany whe=
re she attended School.<BR>
In March 1943, she was married to Elmer Woodworth, an Air Cadet who is
in=20=
training at the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa, Ala. Cadet Woodworth arri=
ved in Coudersport on Tuesday evening.<BR>
Surviving besides her husband are four brothers: Carl of Port Allegany, ha=
rold of Olean, Cpl. Edgar of North Africa and Pvt. Edward of Sicily; and thr=
ee sisters: Mrs. Ella Wykox of Port Allegany, Mrs. Agnes Marrone of Smethpor=
t and Miss Signe Anderson of Port Allegany.
