Roaring Spring.

Death of Miss Rachel Garner.

  The many of our townspeople who became acquainted with Miss Rachel 
Garner while she was visiting her brother, G. M. Garner, of Poplar 
street, a few months ago, will be very sorry to hear of her death (due 
to a complication of diseases) at the Old Folks' home in Martinsburg, 
at 5 p.m. Sunday.
  Miss Garner was born in Huntingdon county in 1843 and was a daughter 
of George and Elizabeth Garner.  When still a child she went with her 
parents to Clover Creek, where she lived until the death of her 
parents, after which she moved to Williamsburg, where she continued to 
live until a few months ago.
  She was a lifelong member of the Lutheran church and when health 
permitted, was always active in all its work and will be very much 
missed in this field of action, as elsewhere.  Miss Garner is survived 
by two brothers and one sister - Isaiah, of Avia; George, of Roaring 
Spring, and Mrs. Isaac White, of Williamsburg.  The funeral services 
will be conducted in the Lutheran church of Clover Creek at 10 o'clock 
Wednesday morning.  Interment will be made in Clover Creek cemetery.
