MRS. SAMUEL BERLIN DEAD.
She Passed Away at the Family Home on Tenth Street Sunday Forenoon.

  Mrs. Mary M. Berlin, wife of Samuel Berlin, died at the family home, 
19 West Tenth street, at 11 o'clock Sunday forenoon.  She was aged 77 
years, 9 months and 25 days.  She had been in delicate health for many 
years, though robust in youth and a woman of unusually strong 
constitution. She had been critically ill the past two weeks.
  The maiden name of Mrs. Berlin was Mary M. Shane.  She was born at 
Littlestown, Adams county, on the 5th of February, 1825.  On the 10th 
of September, 1843, she was married to Samuel Berlin.  On the 1st of 
December, 1853, Mr. and Mrs. Berlin came to Tyrone, and this has been 
their home since that time, just forty-nine years today.
  Mrs. Berlin was a lifelong member of the Methodist Episcopal church, 
and her name was one of the early ones entered upon the roll of the 
First M. E. church of Tyrone.  Her life was an exemplary one and her 
Christianity of the purest and most reverent and devout character.  Her 
home life was one of devotion to her husband and true friendship for 
others within the household.  As a neighbor she was kind, helpful and 
always considerate.
  Of the deceased's direct and immediate family her husband is the only 
survivor.  Other relatives are the brother of Mr. Berlin, Joseph Berlin 
and family of Johnstown; Mrs. L. B. Blair and John B. Guyer.
  Funeral services were conducted at the late home of the deceased at 2 
o'clock Wednesday afternoon, by Rev. John A. Wood Jr.  Interment at 
Tyrone cemetery.
