MANY TAKEN BY THE HAND OF DEATH

Abbottstown School Teacher Yields to Summons.

Miss Ida Jane Noel, daughter of the late John Noel, of Abbottstown, died 
Tuesday afternoon, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Maggie Noel, in 
Abbottstown.  She is survived by her mother and one brother, Samuel Noel, of 
Abbottstown.  Her age was about 39 years.  Miss Noel was in ill health for 
several years, but, yet, was able to attend her domestic duties, and as late 
as Wednesday she visited Hanover.  The immediate cause of her death was 
pulmonary tuberculosis.

The funeral will be held on Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at the Noel home, 
after which the body will be taken to Paradise Church, where a requiem mass 
will be observed, Rev. Father P. J. Crane officiating.  Interment will be made 
in the cemetery adjoining the church.

Miss Noel was an estimable young lady, and possessed more than the average 
intellectual ability.  During her childhood and youth she was a scholarly 
student in the public schools of her native town, were (sp) she also enjoyed 
the advantages of the Abbottstown Teachers' Normal School, in which she 
prepared herself for the profession of teaching.

At an early age, she began teaching in the public schools of Mount Pleasant 
township, later in Berwick township, and after teaching a number of years very 
successfully in the rural district schools, she was elected teacher of the 
McSherrystown primary school, which position she held for a number of years.

Miss Noel was not only recognized as a successful teacher, but also an ardent 
church worker in her church at Paradise.
