Baugher, Edward Sweitzer Baugher, 71, dies after long illness (written in date) Oct 22, 1984 Westminster - Edward Sweitzer Baugher, who built a little country hamburger and produce stand into a restaurant and fruit market complex that attracted hungry customers from throughout the Baltimore-Washington region, died Monday evening at Gettysburg, PA Hospital. He was 71. Baugher�s roots went deeply into Carroll County. His father began farming here in 1900, and Ed grew up on the 60-acre home farm near Frizzellburg. He didn�t have much formal education, because in those days children were needed to work on the farm, his son Allan explained. The lack of formal education didn�t prevent Baugher from becoming a successful businessman. �I�m proud of what he accomplished during his lifetime,� Allan Baugher said. �He was a self-made businessman. Baugher was looking for a better way to sell the fruit and produce he raised on the farm when he bought the land on West Main Street Extended, just over the hill from Western Maryland College nearly 40 years ago. Baugher�s opened in 1948, the owner thinking that the major attraction would be the fruit stand, his son said. Instead, college students and local residents started patronizing the hamburger and short order restaurant and Baugher was soon taking an apartment at the rear of the restaurant so he could begin serving dinner platters. Two generations of high school and Western Maryland College students gathered at Baugher�s for hamburgers and French fries and milk shakes made with real milk. Both Ed Baugher and his wife, the former Romaine Leppo, whom he married in 1932, worked very hard. Allan Baugher pointed out. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday at the Westminster Church of the Brethren, Bond Street. Friends may call at the Pritts Funeral Home, 412 Washington Road, today from 7 to 9 p.m. and Wednesday from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 p.m. Funeral arrangements are incomplete.
