BELLWOOD BRIEFS.

  Miss Sarah Domer, an elderly lady well known by the older residents 
of Tuckahoe valley died at her home a half mile west of Elizabeth 
Furnace, Thursday at 11 p.m., of a complication of diseases.  She was a 
daughter of John Domer, one of the earliest settlers in this valley, 
who came here before this century came in and who died at a good old 
age, more than twenty years ago.  Miss Domer had lived all her life on 
the Domer homestead where her sister, Lydia, still resides.  These 
brothers also survive her: Rev. Samuel Domer, D.D., and G. W. Domer, of 
Washington, D.C., and D. D. Domer, of Pittsburg.  For many years she 
had been a faithful member of the Lutheran church and to the church at 
Salem where she had so long been a worshiper, her remains will be 
carried on Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m.  After the service conducted by 
Rev. J. A. Hartman, of Bellwood, her remains will be laid to rest in
