EMLER Mrs. Alice RITCHIE EMLER, 70, died at 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, July 28, 1937, in the home of her son, Joseph LATSHAW, in Oakdale, following a week's illness of bronchial pneumonia.

On March 31, 1897, she was united in marriage with John EMLER, who died at Oakdale February 6 of this year. Mrs. EMLER had lived in and near Candor all her life until last September when she and her husband went to Oakdale to make their home with her son, Joseph LATSHAW. Besides the two sons there survive eleven grandchildren and one great-grandchild, two brothers-Jesse and David RITCHIE of Candor, and one sister, Mrs. Jane MATTHEWS of Sygan. Funeral services will be held this Friday afternoon at two o'clock daylight time, in the Raccoon Presbyterian church at Candor, conducted by the Rev. Carl H. WHITE of Oakdale Presbyterian church.

Would greatly appreciate an Obit lookup. Lydia Adams previously only knew the year that she and two of her daughters died. Still don't know the daughters names, but today I found the rest of the date. 10 Dec 1845 Pittsbugh Pa. Was located on the 1840 census in the West Ward if that helps. Thanks in advance!

CRAWFORD, HYSER Mrs. Ursula HASTINGS CRAWFORD died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. EWING, a Primrose, Friday, May 29, aged 78 years and 4 months. Mrs. C. was the daughter of the late William HASTINGS of Allegheny County, and sister of Daniel HASTINGS, once of McDonald, and of the late Ebenezer HASTINGS, of South Fayette Township, and also of Mrs. Wm. FORSYTHE, of Burgettstown. She was the relict of Matthew CRAWFORD, who died about two years ago at the advanced age of more than four and a half score years, and to whom she was united in marriage 51 years and 4 days previous to her death. She was his third wife and the mother of seven children, six of whom survive to mourn the loss of mother. The survivors are: John, Thomas and George, well known citizens of Mt. Pleasant, Mrs. DAVIS, of Oakland, Cal., and Mrs. ALLEN and Mrs. EWING of Primrose. In early life, Mrs. CRAWFORD was, we believe, affiliated with the Methodists, and probably attended services in the brick church known as Fawcett's, situated in the Chartiers Valley about midway between Canonsburg and Bridgeville. After her marriage to Mr. C., she united with what is now the U. P. congregation of Venice, and still later, after the organization of Center U. P congregation, her membership was transferred to that place. For a number of years she had been an invalid, and for a time also her mind was unbalanced, so that the younger generation of her neighbors and friends know nothing of the active, industrious, useful woman of earlier years. She was a good woman and a most kind and excellent neighbor. The funeral services were held on Monday, June 1, at 11 a.m., conducted by Rev. W. J. GRAHAM, pastor of Center Church, the interment being in the cemetery of the R. P. church of Miller's Run. June 1, Winfield Hayes, son of Christopher and Christiana HYSER, in his 20th year. Funeral on Wednesday afternoon, services conducted by Rev. Mr. JORDAN. "Hayes," as he was known to everyone, was the youngest son in one of McDonald's oldest and most respected families. He was one of the most favorably known and promising of the young men of this place and his untimely death casts a gloom of sadness over a large circle of youthful friends. He was a member of the First Presbyterian church, of the Y. F. S. C. E., and of the Jr. O. U. A. M. His illness, which was typhoid fever, was only of about four weeks duration
