MRS. MARTHA FLECK

Mrs. Martha Cryder Fleck, one of our best and most highly respected
citizens, passed away at her home, Park avenue and Eighth street, on
Thursday evening at 9:30 o'clock, from diseases incident to old age.

Mrs. Martha Cryder Fleck was a daughter of the late Jacob and Margaret
Lewis Cryder and was born at the old homestead in Sinking Valley,
October 10, 1841.  With the exception of a few years spent in Tyrone,
she resided in Sinking Valley.  On January 3, 1861 she was united in
marriage with Abraham L. Fleck, who preceded her to the grave but a
short time ago.

Surviving to mourn the death are these children: Mrs. A. C. Sorric, of
Juniata; Mrs. Hudson Irvin, of Bellwood; Mrs. Luther H. Waring, of
Washington, D.C.; Ada Fleck, at home; Professor Wilbur H. Fleck, of
Kingston, Pa.; Forrest R. Fleck, of Juniata, and Abraham Ross of the
old homestead in Sinking Valley.  Nine grandchildren survive, together
with a brother, John Crider, of Sinking Valley and a half brother,
Mahlon Crider, of Tyrone and a half sister, Mrs. Belle Abraham, of
Tyrone.

Mrs. Fleck was a sincere Christian woman and a devoted member of the
Grace Baptist church.  A large circle of friends  sincerely mourn the
passing of this good woman.

Funeral services will be conducted at the home on Eighth street,
Monday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. H. F. King, D. D., pastor of the
Grace Baptist church, assisted by Rev. E. M. Morgan [?], pastor of the
First English Lutheran church of Tyrone.  Interment will be made at
the brick cemetery at Sinking Valley.
