Mrs. Catharine Dick Wareham
Halter Creek Correspondent.

  Mrs. Catharine Dick Wareham died at her home about two miles south of 
Roaring Spring on Friday morning, March 16, at 6.15 o'clock of 
paralysis. She was taken ill on Monday evening and lingered till Friday 
morning during which time she gained consciousness once and talked to 
those who patiently cared for her.
  She was the daughter of Daniel and Catharine Dick, deceased, and was 
born on the Stone House farm, now occupied by J. B. Brumbaugh and with 
the exception of a few years, spent her entire life on the land which 
was once her father's. She was born July 4, 1835, being aged 81 years, 
8 months and 12 days. She was married 48 years ago to Martin Wareham 
who preceded her to the grave five years ago.
  The deceased is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth Albright, 
two grandchildren, Alvin and Catharine Albright. One sister, Mrs. 
Elizabeth Neterer, of Goshen, Indiana, who is almost 86 years of age 
also survives.
  The funeral services were held Sunday morning at 10 a.m. in the 
Albright Church of the Brethren of which the deceased had been a member 
for several years, and were conducted by Rev. M. R. Brumbaugh of 
Martinsburg, assisted by Rev. C. W. Garber of near Roaring Spring. 
Interment in Albright cemetery.
  Her remains were born to their last resting place by six of her 
nephews, namely, Daniel L. Dick of Juniata, Hiram H. Dick of Altoona, 
Plummer Dick, Ira L. Dick, David L. Dick and Ambrose H. Dick of Roaring 
Spring.
  Just three weeks ago this aged lady's only surviving brother, Daniel 
P. Dick, was stricken with paralysis on Monday evening, died the 
following Friday, funeral services were held on Sunday morning at the 
same hour and in the same church with interment in the same cemetery as 
was those of his sister who followed so closely. This aged brother and 
sister had lived their entire lives very near together and their 
remains now rest a few feet apart in God's acre. Both will be greatly 
missed in their respective homes and both had many friends in the 
community as was evidenced by the large attendance at both funerals.
