Miss Hettie Storm

Miss Hettie M. Storm, of Philadelphia, died at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. 
W. Leese, No. 223 Centennial avenue, Sunday, at 1 p.m., following an illness of 
six months from tuberculosis.  She was aged 26 years, 8 months and 25 days.

Miss Storm was a daughter of Lewis G. Storm, of North street, McSherrystown.  
She was a graduate of St. Mary’s parochial schools, after which she took a 
course in the York School of Business, from which she was graduated in 1913.  A 
short time later Miss Storm accepted a position in the office of the Traymore 
Tailoring company, Philadelphia, where she remained until ill health compelled 
her to resign.  She came to the home of her sister, Mrs. Leese, three weeks ago, 
hoping to regain her health, but she grew gradually worse until death ensued.

Miss Storm was a life-long friend of the late Miss Natalie Noel, who met so 
untimely a death by being thrown from a horse she was riding just 22 days ago.

The deceased leaves her father, three sisters, Mrs. C. W. Leese, of Hanover; 
Mrs. L. H. Miller, of Gettysburg, and Miss Irene Storm, of McSherrystown, and 
one brother, Horace Storm, of McSherrystown.

Funeral, Wednesday morning, with a high mass of requiem in St. Mary’s church, 
McSherrystown, at 9 o’clock, Rev. L. Aug. Reudter officiating.  Interment in 
Conewago chapel cemetery.
