MISS MAUDE BUTLER

Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David Butler of McKee's Gap, died quite suddenly 
yesterday morning, at her home.  She arose about 5 o'clock with the 
intention of going to work at the Roaring Spring Blank Book Manufactory. 
Complaining of a pain in her head, she went back to bed. In a short time she 
was dead, the cause being apoplexy.  She was aged 18 years and a member of 
the Methodist church, Besides her parents, three sisters and two brothers 
survive.  The funeral will take place in the Methodist church at McKee's Gap 
at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning; interment in Roaring Spring Cemetery.

FUNERAL OF MISS ANNIE M. BUTLER

  The funeral of Miss Annie Maude Butler whose death notice appeared in the 
Mirror a few days ago, occurred from her late home at McKee's Gap, yesterday 
at 10:30 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. A. L. Frank assisted by 
Revs. Acker and Mattern.  The M. E. church, of which the deceased was one of 
its most faithful members, was crowded to its utmost capacity with those who 
came to pay the last tribute of respect to the one they loved.  This lady, 
although young in years, had a host of friends both young and old.  She will 
be missed in the home as a loving sister and daughter; in the church as a 
faithful worker; nothing seemed too hard for her to do to forward her 
Master's work, whom she had learned early in life to love.  She presided at 
the organ the evening before her death, in church services,  singing as a 
closing hymn, "God be With You Till We Meet Again."  Her remains were laid 
to rest in Green Lawn Cemetery at Roaring Spring, to await the resurrection 
morning.
  The family of the deceased wishes to return their heartfelt thanks to 
friends that helped them  during their sad bereavement, and to the employees 
of Juniata Smith Shop and Roaring Spring Blank Book Factory for beautiful 
flowers contributed.
