Evening Times, Cumberland, Maryland Fri 15 Sep 1961: 
"Ex-Teacher In County Dead At 96--A 96-year-old former local 
school teacher and the widow of an ex-Allegany County teacher 
and trial magistrate will be buried tomorrow in Baltimore.  
She was Mrs. Mary (Berkenbaugh) Walsh, widow of John T. Walsh.  
Requiem Mass for Mrs. Walsh, who died Tuesday in Maryland 
General Hospital, Baltimore, will be celebrated tomorrow at 
11:30 a. m. in St. Rita's Catholic Church in Baltimore and 
burial will be in Sacred Heart of Jesus Cemetery there.  Mrs. 
Walsh was born in Cumberland, the daughter of the late 
Leopold and Sarah (Rowan).  She taught school in this section 
for ten years before her marriage. Her husband, who died in 
1933, was a school teacher and trial magistrate in Lonaconing 
and also a teacher in Cumberland.  Mr. Walsh lost his arm as 
an infant when shrapnel from Confederate shelling struck the 
home of his father, Edward Walsh, in Piedmont in May 1864.  
His sister, Mary, 4, was killed by the shelling.  Mrs. Walsh 
had been living with her daughter, Mrs. Geraldine W. Savage, 
at 929 North Calvert Street, Baltimore.  In addition to Mrs. 
Savage, Mrs. Walsh is survived by a son, John Walsh, 
Connellsville, Pa.; two daughters, Mrs. Adele Metz, Lonaconing 
and Mrs. Jean Dexter, Cherry Run, W. Va."
