IN MEMORIAM.

  Mrs. Anna Metzgar (maiden name Santz) was born near the city of 
Altoona in 1814, and died near Martinsburg, Blair county, Pa., February 
26th, 1880.  Grandmother Metzgar was well and favorably known 
throughout the Cove.  For many years she was a member of the "Dunker" 
church and the sincerity of her profession was well attested by a 
corresponding Christian life.  She possessed a kind, amiable, loving 
disposition.  Her kindness of heart won for her the esteem of all who 
knew her, and many who have enjoyed the generous hospitalities of her 
home in days gone by will remember her with interest and affection.
