MRS. MARGARET c. GETTY.
Tribute to The nemory of an Am
liable Lady.

To the Editor of THE REPUBLICAN,:
Margaret Cross Getty, widow of the
late Hon. VIM. R. Getty, deceased On
the 22nd of April. 1908, at her quiet
home in Grantsville, Garrett county.
from long and wasteful sickness of a
complicated nature, in her list year.
Death was slow in its arrival, but sure
with many warnings of the sad event,
but not of the day or hour Yet she
was prepared and willing to answer the
summons which has brought sadness
and grief to many hearts. Many are
t hey who have lost devoted friend in
the death of Margaret Getty. She was
kind, amiable, friendly and sociable in
her ways, and manners, at all. times,
hence the plentitude of friendship for
her. Nature had granted her full
share of womanly ladyship' which she
kept to the end.
Her husband, w. r. Getty, died in
September, 1902, at the ripe age of 20
years. His loss is still felt by the
whole people Of the county and the
vacuum caused by his death is still I'M
filed. No extended remarks as to him
need be made here. His useful life
still speaks for him and itself.
Mrs. Getty was happily married UNI
der the name of Margaret Cross to her
late husband in July, 1854, in what is
now Garrett county. Her father was
Uriah Cross, who died several..years
ago, veteran soldier in the civiliwar.
Five willing sons, brothers of. this sub
ject, followed him in the same service.
A fine exhibit in the line of, patriotism.
She was tenderly put away to her final
rest in the Grantsville cemetery.by the
side of her departed husband.
The two parents left eight children,
six sons and two daughters: DR.. Oliver
G. Getty, Alvin F., ]. Clarence, deceas-
ed, John o.. Charles B. and Leonard
E., minor. The daughters are Ellen
B. , wife of DIR. G. Keller, and Francis
BEwife of DR.. Bruce Leichty.

Must Pay Full Rate.

G. L. Potter, third vice president of
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
pany, has issued an order that hereafter
employees of that road must pay the full
express rates and that no more express
matter will be carried free of charge.
This order is said to be the result of
complaints made by the express COM
panies and will effect every trainman
on the line, as well as some of the
higher officials. 1t has been customary
for the men in charge of baggage and
express cars to handle express matter
for trainmen without charge. The
practice was extended to all parts of
the system and the express companies
claim to have lost thousands of dollars.
