Death of Charles Edward Zehner
Charles Edward Zehner, aged At
years and three months, died at his
home on Negro Mountain, Friday
morning, December 9th, after long
illness.
Mr.. Zehner was a son of the late
Henry and Margaret Zehner of this
county. He was on Negro Mountain
and lived most of his life in that COM
munity. For several years he was
Garrett county school teacher. In
1910 he married Miss Pearl Cramer
and entered the United States railway
mail service as clerk on the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad, working be-
tween Washington, d. c., and Graf
ton, West Va, when his health failed,
caused by high blood pressure and
lung complications. He was forced
by these handicaps to resign his posi-
ton and returned to Garrett county
where he purchased a farm on Negro
Mountain and made home for his
family, engaging in farming and the
poultry raising business. Nine years
ago Mr.. Zehner suffered stroke of
paralysis, followed at intervals by
seven others. The last one, which he
suffered nine months ago, rendered
him entirely helpless, weakening his
heart and finally causing his death.
Mr.. Zehner bore all his misfortunes
bravely, doing all he could in every
way to assist in the management of
his family's welfare He was a good
husband and kind father, highly re-
spected by his neighbors and business
associates and was a faithful MEM
Der of the German Lutheran church
all his life.
