Miss Emma H. Whetstone

On March 20, Miss Emma H. Whetstone, of Ryot, died. She was the only
daughter of Abram Whetstone. The parents and three brothers survive her,
Edgar, of Pittsburg, and two brothers at home. She in some way contracted
measles, followed by pneumonia and after a short illness, passed away. She was 
one who had many friends, as the large concourse of people who assembled to pay 
their last tribute of respect well testified. She was a member of the Reformed 
church, of Fishertown, and always was regular in her attendance and did what 
she could for the welfare of her church.  She was unusually bright and 
manifested a great degree of spirituality.  Her sun is gone down while it is 
yet day, but she lives in a world where there is no setting sun nor vale of 
tears.  She was laid to rest in the Fishertown cemetery. The services were 
conducted by her pastor, Rev. S. C. Stover, assisted by Revs. Miller and 
Luckenbill. She was aged 19 years, seven months and nine days.
