Obituary.
Barbara Ellen burst, wife of the
late Henry burst, deceased, died
Nov. 20, 1898, aged Ga years, IL
months and Is days.
Aunt Barbara, as she was called.
was sufferer from heart disease
for many years; yet she bore up
under all with Christian faith and
fortltude. About the mi idle of
September she went to the home of
her brother, Geo. ". Blocher, on
the Braddock farm, to stay while
he went to the Worlds Fair. and

which resulted in her death. |
was privileged to visit her during
her last illness, and was strength
ened by her faith. She testified
that she was fully resigned to the
Lords will and was prepared to go.
Her only trouble was that she was
not at home. While she had all
the attention possible where she
was, yet she longed to get home
that she might spend her last mo-
ments with her children. This she
was not privileged to do, but bless
God, she has gone home and is safe
in the haven of rest.
After appropriate services at the
house and cemetery on Thanksgiv-
ing morning all repaired to the Mt.
Zion church, where the funeral was
preached by the writer to large
assembly of friends. Mother burst
was a consistent member of the
German Reformed Church for about
forty years and was loved by all who
knew her. She leaves many friends
to mourn their loss, but their loss is
her gain. | would say to them
while you have lost a friend on
earth you have gained one in heaven
and while she shall not return to
you yet you can go to her.

Sarah Broadwater was born April
20, 1909, and died at her home near
New Germany, Nov, 2S, 1898, aged
"a years, Z months and s days,
Her maiden name was Sigler and
she married Amos Broadwater
Aug. 20, 1925, with whom she
walked hand in hand for over sixty
eight years. Soon after their mar
riage they moved to a point near
New Germany where they lived
until her death.
She was quiet unassuming
christian, being a consistent mem
Der of the NJ. E. church nearly all
her life. She was a Martha who
served at home. King Lemuels
saying is very appropriate in her
life: "She looketh well to the WAYS
of her household, and eateth not
the bread of idleness."
The funeral was preached on the
afternoon of Thanksgiving day, by
her pastor, in the New Germany
M. E. church to the largest num-
Der of relatives and friends ever
seen in the community, after which
interment was made in the church
yard back of the church.
Her husband still survives her
and is possibly the oldest man in
the county, being in his ninetieth
year.
This is the most remarkable fam
lily III Garrett county, there being
six sons and six daughter, all liv-
ing, and at the funeral about 100
grand children and over 100 great
grand children were present.
As there had never been a death
in the Immediate family this was
quite heavy blow 10 them. but
then they are comforted in the
assurance that theirloss is mothers
gain.
