MRS. SUSAN DICK

  Mrs. Susan Dick, widow of Daniel P. Dick, died at her home, about two 
miles south of Roaring Spring, on Wednesday, December 24, 1919. She had 
been in fairly good health for the past year, and on the day of her 
death was found unconscious about one o'clock p.m. by her daughter, 
Mrs. Ellis. She was absent from the house a few minutes and when found 
was seriously ill, suffering from a paralytic stroke. Neighbors 
assisted in carrying her helpless form to the house where all that 
loving hands could do was of no avail to restore her to life and she 
passed away at three o'clock.
  She was the daughter of John and Catharine Garber, both deceased, and 
was the fourth of a family of thirteen children to go to the spirit 
world. She was born in the old house that once stood near Halter Creek 
on the farm of Mrs. S. H. Slick, on March 31, 1850, being aged 69 
years, 8 months and 23 days. On February 2, 1868, she was united in 
marriage with Daniel P. Dick, who died almost three years ago. To this 
union were born nine children. Three, Malachi, Grant and Frank preceded 
their mother to the grave, and the following survive, Mrs. Hattie 
Adams, of near Roaring Spring; Ezra, of Ore Hill; Mrs. Edna Croft, of 
Altoona; Irene, Mrs. Ella Ellis and James at home. Deceased is also 
survived by nineteen grandchildren, one great-grandchild and these 
brothers and sisters:  Rev. Charles Garber, Aaron Garber, and Mrs. 
Elmira Albright, of near Roaring Spring; Alexander Garber, of East 
Freedom; Edward Garber, of Tipton; Isaac Garber, of Oklahoma; Dr. Noble 
Garber, of Ohio, and Mrs. Annie Sell, of McKee.
  Mrs. Dick was a member of the Albright Church of the Brethren, where 
funeral services were held Friday morning, December 26, at 10 o'clock, 
conducted by Rev. H. H. Rasher. Interment was made in cemetery 
adjoining.
  She was a kind and loving mother and neighbor and will be greatly 
missed by her family and friends. This is the fourth visit the Death 
Angel has made to this home in four years and two months, and the 
family have the sympathy of the community in their loss.
