Gladys Elizabeth, the baby daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Yommer, former
ly of this place, died at CreSson, Pa, on
Thursday, April 18th, 1913, and her
body was brought home for burial. Mr..
and Mrs. YOmmer have only been at
Cresson about month and GLADYS was
an only child, the idol of the household
Shortly OTTER moving she contracted
chicken poX, measles and Whooping
cough, which developed into pneumonia
and the little child, so bright and beau
tiful, succumbed to the combined force
OF the various diseases. Funeral ser
vice was held at the Reformed church
by the Lutheran pastor, Rev. l.. z.
Young, the young parents being MEM
bers of his charge. The baby was born
on January 9th, 1912. The church was
filled with sympathizing friends whose
hearts went out to the grief stricken
parents, and seeing the beautiful child
so peaceful in death, with its tiny fingers
clasplng pure white lily, one could but
think of the lines:
Tender Shepherd, Thou hast stilled
Now Thy little lambs brief waking:
All, how peaceful, pale and mild,
In it's narrow bed it's sleeping,
And no sigh OF anguish sore
Heaves that little bosom more
God has taken her to the Home where
there is neither sickness nor death. 1T
is well with the child, it is we'll"
Mr.. and Mrs. II. c. Bonig went to
Frostburg on Thursday last to meet
their daughter, Miss Winifred, who has
been under treatment at Cumberland

which she had been suffering from. Miss

son, the noted specialist and was guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Bong, Hanover
street while there. She also spent sew
eral days at the Western MARYLAND
Hospital where she underwent the op-
Grafton for the removal of adcnoids and
her tonsilS which had become so large
as to cause difficulty in breathing to the

hours on Thursday in F'rostburg with
her chum, Miss Getty, and the party,
including Miss BONG, her parents, ]. l..

II is perfectly remarkable how many
of our Graatsville people elected to be
born in April. On Saturday, the 10Th.
Mrs. Sophia Winterberg was seventy
five years old. She is the oldest lady in
Grantsville and lives in the oldest house,
but you would never believe it to look
at her or the house either, as she is
young enough to keep her house IN spot
less order. Quite a number of her
neighbors and friends discovered that it
was her natal day and in consequence
she received quite number of beauti-
full gifts and cards, the best gift of all
being the return of her daughter, Miss
