Dr. Samuel O. Thomas, son of Hon. and Mrs. J. J. Thomas of 
Carroll Township, died suddenly and unexpectedly in 
Conemaugh on Monday morning [end of sentence faded].

[The next four long paragraphs of this obit are completely 
faded and illegible.]

Besides his parents, his uncle Michael Thomas of Munster 
Township and several other relatives, the deceased is 
survived by one brother, John Thomas who lives with his 
parents on the old homestead; Sister Patricia of the Order 
of St. Francis, Pittsburg; Anna, a trained nurse who 
recently graduated from St. Francis Hospital, Pittsburg, 
and Emma, who is now studying for a trained nurse at Mercy 
Hospital, Pittsburg, and Miss Winifred, at home.

The funeral which took place on Wednesday morning is said 
to have been the largest that ever took place in 
Carrolltown.  The floral tributes were elegant and profuse 
and included those of the medical fraternity [remainder of

A solemn high mass of requiem was celebrated in St. 
Benedict's church at 10 o'clock by Rev. Fathers Edmund 
Thomas and [name faded] and after the last solemn rites,
