Mrs. Batilda Houck

Mrs. Batilda Houck, an aged lady of Littlestown, died early Wednesday morning, Sept. 15, of 
Bright’s disease and pleura pneumonia.  Mrs. Houck lived alone, but kind neighbors and friends 
did much to alleviate her suffering.  She was a prominent worker in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 
and attended prayer meeting the evening before she was attacked by the fatal malady.  She was 
aged about 83 years, and is survived by two sisters:  Mrs. Angeline Lampert, near Hampstead, 
and Miss Amanda Wolf, of Taneytown.  The funeral was held Friday morning at 10:30 with services 
in St. Paul’s Lutheran Church and interment in Mt. Carmel Cemetery, Rev. J. J. Hill 
officiating.
