DEATH OF A MOTHER
 
Mrs. Bertha May Norman Died
in Clearfield Hospital
 
On Wednesday morning at 9:15
o'clock, Mrs. Bertha May Norman, wife
of David B. Norman, of Bald Eagle,
was operated on in the Clearfield hospital
for cancer and at four o'clock in
the afternoon she passed into the
great world beyond. Mrs. Norman
had been a sufferer the past ten weeks
from the disease that was gradually
sapping her life away and as the only 
hope for a cure being an operation,
she underwent the same.
 
Mrs. Norman was a splendid woman
in every way. She was a devoted
member of the Methodist church of
Bald Eagle, and enjoyed taking an
active part in the services. She was
also an active member and worker in
the Bald Eagle grange. She will not
only be missed in the home, but the
entire community in which she lived.
 
Mrs. Bertha May Norman was a
daughter of David and Eliza Lewis,
of Bald Eagle. She was born at Bald 
Eagle January 20, 1874. On May 30,
1893, she was united in marriage to
David B. Norman, the ceremony being
performed at Port Matilda. Surviving
to mourn her death are the parents,
the devoted husband, two children,
Charles Calvin and Nannie
Blanche, and the following brothers
and sisters: Harry E., of Clearfield;
Charles W., of Punxsutawney; Wilbur
W., and Theodore, of Tyrone;
Mrs. Harry Copenhaver, of Penn 
Station, Westmoreland county; Mrs.
Charles Altemus, of Pitcairn, and Mrs.
Oscar Lewis, of Tyrone.
 
Funeral services conducted by Rev.
Mr. Jacobs, of Port Matilda, will be
held in the Methodist church at Bald
Eagle on Saturday afternoon at two
o'clock. Interment at Bald Eagle.
