  Mrs. Bertha Maurer, wife of Godfrey Maurer of 1336 Blair avenue, died 
Thursday night from influenza.  Deceased had been suffering for several 
years past with rheumatism and heart trouble, which had sapped her 
vitality and made her an easy victim for her latest malady.  She was a 
daughter of Mrs. Joshua Burley of this place and the late Sanford 
Worley.  She was born near Pennsylvania Furnace May 1, 1882 and lived 
practically all her young life in tyrone, the family moving here when 
she was but 4 months of age.  On July 26, 1906 she was united in 
marriage with Godfrey Maurer, who survives with one son, Frederick.  
She also leaves her mother and one sister, Mrs. P. F. Singler, both of 
this place.  She was a member of the First Methodist Episcopal church 
of this place.  Funeral will take place tomorrow afternoon at 2.30 
o'clock, services in charge of Rev. E. G. Sawyer.  Interment will be 
made in Grand View cemetery.
