Mrs. Sara Ann FEREDAY, wife of Benjamin FEREDAY, aged 76 years, 
died at the Mercy hospital, Pittsburgh Sunday morning at 6:20 o'clock, as a 
result of burns received Saturday afternoon at 1:20 o'clock. Mrs. FEREDAY 
was cleaning portiers with gasoline which ignited from a lighted stove in an 
adjoining room. Neighbors rushed to assist but before the flames could be 
extinguished she was so badly burned that little hope was entertained for 
her recovery. Medical aid was summoned and she was rushed to the hospital.
 
Mrs. FEREDAY was born in Wales and came to this country 63 years 
ago. She was twice married, her second marriage being with Mr. FEREDAY in 
1912. She is survived by her husband, Benjamin FEREDAY; two daughters, Mrs. 
Minnie FORSYTH of Sharpsburg and Mrs. Ruth ARNOLD of Ellwood City; three 
step-daughters, Mrs. C. RIDDER of Steubenville, O., Mrs. Robert FENWICK, Sr. 
and Mrs. Joseph MCGEE of Sturgeon and eleven grandchildren.
 
Funeral services were held at her home in the South Side, 
Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock in charge of Rev. W. D. IRONS, D. D., pastor of 
the first United Presbyterian church, assisted by Rev. J. H. DEBOLT, pastor 
of the Methodist Episcopal church. The body was taken to Sharpsburg 
Wednesday where services were held in the Baptist church at 2:30 o'clock. 
Interment was in the Mt. Royal cemetery at Sharpsburg.
