MRS. LINNIE GRAY WILT

Proprietor of the Wilt hotel in Williamsburg, died at her home in the 
hotel on High street this morning at 8.50 o'clock, death following an 
illness that had its inception on Nov. 1 last year, and which kept her 
confined to her room ever since.  She was a daughter of George W. and 
Elizabeth (Noel) Gray and was born in Cambria county on June 6, 1868.  
She was united in marriage with Joseph F. Wilt in July, 1888, and they 
came to Williamsburg on Jan. 8, 1907, taking over the hotel which took 
their name and which has been operated since.  The husband died on 
Sept. 2, 1918, while their only son was a soldier in the American army 
in France and Mrs. Wilt continued the operation of the hotel.  
Surviving are one son, Lloyd E. (Ted) Wilt, and two grandchildren, who 
reside at the hotel; one sister, Mrs. Nora Mothersbaugh of Wilkinsburg, 
and two brothers, T. M. Gray and Gilbert R. Gray, both of Pittsburgh.  
Mrs. Wilt was a member of the Zion's Lutheran church in Williamsburg.  
Friends are being received at the Friedline funeral home in 
Williamsburg.
