Mrs. Elizabeth RICHARDS passed peacefully away at her home on 
Guy Hill, Oakdale, Sunday afternoon, February 26, 1922, at 3:40 o'clock. 
During Sunday morning she suffered with indigestion ad it was thought that 
this was what caused her death in the afternoon. She was preparing to 
receive communion from the Rev. MOOSE of the Methodist church of Noblestown, 
when she entered the Great Beyond. For the past 26 years she has lived in 
Oakdale moving here from Petrolia, Pa., Butler County. Fifteen years ago 
her husband departed this life and since that time she and her daughter 
Katie lived together. She was born in Cornell, England and came to this 
country many years ago. Mrs. RICHARDS was a member of the Methodist church 
of Noblestown and was known to all the people as "Grandma" RICHARDS. The 
funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon in the Methodist church of 
Noblestown, conducted by the Rev. MOOSE, pastor of that church. She leaves 
to mourn her loss four children, Katie, with whom she lived; Mrs. Lyda 
WIDGER, Chicora, Pa., Butler county; Mrs. Anna NICHOLS and Mr. John H. 
RICHARDS, both of Johnstown, Pa. The entire community express their sincere 
sympathy in their recent bereavement. Interment was made in the family lot 
in the Oakdale cemetery.
