>From a notebook of newspaper clippings donated to the Garrett County Historical Society. On Wednesday morning, April 26th, Mrs. Nancy Lauchry passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Scott Friend, at Selbysport. She was perhaps the oldest person in the county, having reached the age of ninety eight years, eleven months, twenty six days. She leaves behind to mourn her departure two sons and a daughter, numerous relatives and friends. She was born in Pennsylvania and at an early age was converted and joined the Disciples. After her removal to Maryland she united with the Baptist Church of which she remained a constant member until her departure. It was the good fortune of the writer to have been her pastor and to have known her for six years. During that time her manifest faith in God was an inspiration. When I last saw her she was very weak and sometimes her mind would wander. She would talk to me about mutual acquaintance and then she would forget my presence and repeat softly to herself passage after passage of Scripture. She seemed to be living partly in this world and partly in one whither she was going, for her death had no terrors. It was simply departing to be with her Lord. We are sad because of the parting, but are glad that her pilgrimage is over and she is with those who long ago had been parted from her. Those who are left have our sympathy and prayers that God may give them comfort and that their lives may be so ordered that when the death angel summons them that they may be ready to answer his call with joy. Her funeral was preached by her pastor in the Deep Creek church and her body was laid to rest in the Thayerville cemetery until God shall call it forth in the resurrection day. C. W.

Thank you so much for letting us know; what a giant loss to genealogy, but mostly to her many friends and family.  She will so be missed.   Mary Myers Teets --- On Fri, 10/2/09, Patty-Friend-Thompson <Patty125@comcast.net> wrote: From: Patty-Friend-Thompson <Patty125@comcast.net> Subject: [MDGARRET] Regret to inform you To: mdgarret-L@rootsweb.com Cc: mdallega-L@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, October 2, 2009, 1:01 PM Sadly, word has been received that we lost our friend, Lois "Carolyn" Shupe, on September 22, 2009.

I am saddened and surprised to read this note. Carolyn and I talked often about our Stark ancestors and Irish Palatines. We most recently shared Carolyn Heald's new book. And she kept good jokes coming, despite family illnesses. What a great lady! I always wanted to visit her and didn't. There is a life's lesson. My prayers are with her family and many friends.

Thank you for letting us know. Corresponded with her on/off for years about our common ancestors - Custer, Stark etc. Always helpful and ready to share her notes. She posted many items on the Internet for everyone to use. I saw a note she once wrote to the Hazelton Mill Co. (Hazelton, WVa) commenting on their buckwheat mix "I have been using this wonderful buckwheat mix for many, many years.. My grandmother used it too. It is my most fond food memory from her home. I have it brought to me now that I live 600 mi. away. My surprise was when I found that my 5gr-grandparents, Samuel & Catherine (Fike) Hazlett, built the original mill in 1818." Her address was: Carolyn Shupe 1292 Glen Cannon Dr. Pisgah Forest, NC 28768 Tom On Fri, Oct 2, 2009 at 1:01 PM, Patty-Friend-Thompson <Patty125@comcast.net> wrote: > Sadly, word has been received that we lost our friend, Lois "Carolyn" Shupe, on September 22, 2009. > Carolyn's postings always carried "smiles and giggles", her trademark. > Carolyn will be missed. > ======================================
