MANY ATTEND FOUSE FUNERAL

  One of the largest funerals in Martinsburg for some years was that of 
Mrs. Mabel Desa (Erb) Fouse, wife of Eugene G. Fouse, Saturday 
afternoon at St. John's Evangelical and Reformed church.  The main 
auditorium on the second floor was filled to capacity and the Sunday 
school room on the first floor was well filled.
  The service was in charge of the pastor, Rev. Sterling P. Martz, 
although Rev. Victor Steinberg, former pastor, now of Philadelphia, and 
who had married Mr. and Mrs. Fouse more than 13 years ago and who had 
come to Martinsburg for the funeral, took part in the briefer service 
at the home.
  Mrs. Fouse was an active worker in the Martinsburg church and was a 
member of the Cheerful Workers' circle of the Sunday school.  The young 
women of this class attended the service in a body.  Burial was made in 
Fairview cemetery.
  Mrs. Fouse passed away at the Nason hospital, Roaring Spring, on 
Wednesday, five days after giving birth to twin daughters.  Although 
undergoing a major operation at the time she had been getting along 
well until the beginning of the week.
  The twins have been named Mabel Jean, after the mother, and Mary 
Jane.  It is reported at the hospital that they are getting along well.  
There are six other children in the family.
