Although her health had been failing during the past year she continued her services as telephone operator until just a short time ago. Her interest in the church was untiring and she served faithfully to the end. Her life was an example of patience and cheerfulness and she will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends. She leaves to mourn her loss, her sister, Flora; her aunt, Mrs. Ellen HUSSONG and a large number of cousins. The funeral was held Tuesday at the Methodist Church at Short Tract with Rev. PERO officiating with interment in the cemetery here. [Northern Allegany Observer obituary, transcribed by Louise Y. Mills, 2003, from Cora Lahr's scrapbooks, Fillmore, NY]
