Mrs. Adam Anstead

Susannah, wife of Adam Anstead, of No. 1133 Franklin Street, Eight Ward, died from a 
cancerous affection at her home about 11 o'clock this morning aged seventy-five years, 
four months, twenty-eight days.  Mrs. Anstead had been ailing for some time, and her 
death was not unexpected.  The funeral will be held from the late home of the deceased 
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the Rev. W. A. Shoman, Mrs. Anstead's pastor, 
officiating.  Interment will be made in Grand-View Cemetery.  Mrs. Anstead had a large 
number of friends, not only in this city but throughout northern Somerset County, and a 
large concourse of persons is expected to attend the obsequies.
Mrs. Anstead was born December 5, 1827 near Stoyestown, her parents being Moses 
Berkebile and Susannah (the next two lines are blurred) August 15, 1850 to Adam 
Anstead and with him made her home at or near Benscreek until nineteen years ago, 
when they moved to the Eight Ward, this city.  Ten children in all were born to Mr. and 
Mrs. Anstead, of whom those surviving are: Joseph H., of Johnstown; Isaiah, of Baker 
City, Ore., who arrived here two weeks ago and is now in the city; Rachel, wife of Frank 
Barry, of Benton, Ind.; J. A. Anstead, of Eight Ward; Cyrus, of Benscreek, and Maude, 
wife of Eugene Dwyer, of the Eight Ward. Twelve grandchildren also survive Mrs. 
Anstead, who three years ago, with her husband and descendants, celebrated the 
fiftieth anniversary of her wedding.
