Mrs. Schroth Passes Away
Wife of Lawrence Schroth, Proprietor of the Lawrence Hotel, 
Carrolltown, Dies Early Wednesday Morning, Her Demise was 
Sudden

Mrs. Margaret Schroth, widow of the late Lawrence Schroth, 
died at the St. Lawrence Hotel near Carrolltown at 5:15 
o'clock Wednesday morning, aged seventy-six years.  Her 
demise was sudden as she had been talking to members of the 
family at 5 o'clock.  She had been up for a drink of water 
and a few minutes later called her daughters.  She swooned 
and in a few minutes had expired.

Mrs. Schroth's maiden name was Schrimph and she was born in 
Elder Township.  She had been a resident of Carrolltown for 
fifty years, her husband having conducted a hotel there up 
to the time of his death.

Mrs. Shroat (sic) was widely known not only in Cambria 
County but through other districts as well on account of 
her famous culinary abilities.  Years ago when the old 
stage coaches traversed the well known pike that now winds 
its serpentine way through the hills of Cambria county, 
Mrs. Schroat (sic) whose husband conducted the well known 
hostelry alluded to, was known and praised by travelers 
whose business brought them through this section for her 
cooking abilities.  She was considered the most able 
housewife in this section of the state and travelers always 
looked forward to a meal fit for kings when Mr. Schroth's 
hostelry hove in sight.

The following children survive: John of Roanoke, Va.; Frank 
of Newark, N. J.; Edward of Pittsburg; William of Altoona; 
Rose, wife of Theodore Vogel of Carrolltown; Martin, 
Minnie, Amelia and Ada, at home.

Funeral services will be held Saturday morning at 10 
o'clock at St. Benedict's Catholic Church and interment 
will follow in the church cemetery.
