MRS. MAUDE ALICE NEAL.
The subject Of this notice came
to her death on Sunday morning,
August IS, 1918, in Akron, O.,
at the age Of 80 years, 3 months
and 9 days. She was born at
New Grenada, Pa, on the 1lth
of May, 1883, being the only
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L. l.,
Cunningham. , She was married
to Etter w. Neal, Of Altoona, Pa.
May II, 1907. Residing a short
time in 0rbisonia, they removed
to Akron, O. in 1911, where they
since resided. To this union were
born two children, both of whom
are living: Dorothy, aged 6 and
George, 8. Surviving are the
two children, one brother, Ralph
Of Altoona, and her father.
Funeral services were conduct
ed at their home, 800 Jefferson
Ave-, by Rev. McAlpine, of the
M. E Church. Burial in Glen
dale cemetery.
This is one of the sad and sud-
den deaths of which no one has
control. Mrs. Neal had not been
sick-did her Saturdays house
work, and was arranging to take
her children and some friends in
her automobile out pleasure rid
ing in the afternoon, when she
suddenly became i'll. Her hus-
band was phoned, and the family
physician called. All possible
efforts were made to relieve her
sufferings. Early Sunday morn
ing she was removed to hospi-
tai where she suddenly expired
before any help could be given.
The death was caused by internal
hemorrhages.
Maude, s she was familiary
called, lived an exemplary
Christian Life since youth, and
was at time of death, an active
and useful member Of Woodland,
M. H. church, affiliated with the
several branches in the church.
Her sudden death is a heavy
stroke to her many friends es-
pecially, to her husband and
. family, and to her father and
brothers. AS has been stated in
the NEWS her father was not
present. He had returned as
far as Pittsburgh, from a vaca-
tion among friends in Fulton
County, when he received the
sad message. Dark are the
clouds that now hang over the
once exceedingly happy home of
a lone husband and orphan
t children.
, Maude was one Of those good
r natured ones whose life was full
of kindness to all, and doing
, things for others, caused her
much pleasure. She carried sun
shine in her soul which was
3 visible in her smiles.
