MRS. MARTHA GARLAND HAMOR.

  Mrs. Martha Garland Hamor, aged 77 years, 1 month and 8 days, died on 
Tuesday at 7:45 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E. A. Meckbach, 520 
Oneida street, Huntingdon, with whom she had made her home.  She had been in 
declining health for some time but was only seriously ill during the last 
four weeks.  Mrs. Hamor was a daughter of David and Martha (Kellerman) 
Garland, pioneer residents of the Spruce Creek valley, and was born at 
Barree.  She was married to James J. Hamor and for a number of years had 
lived in Blair county.  Later the family moved to Northumberland and became 
residents of Huntingdon early in the 90's.  Mr. Hamor died over twenty years 
ago.  Mrs. Hamor was a devout member of the Lutheran church, a woman 
possessed of a most genial disposition and had many friends who regret 
exceedingly her passing away.  Surviving to mourn her death are a sister, 
Mrs. Mary Fernwalt, of Fort Wayne, Ind., and the following children: Mrs. 
John I. Kepner and Miss Ethel F. Hamor, of Sunbury; William H. Hamor, of 
Tyrone; Robert S. Hamor, of Marion, O.; Mrs. Lane McDonald, of Smithfield, 
and Mrs. E. A. Meckbach.  Funeral services will be held at her late home at 
2:30 Friday afternoon, followed by interment in Riverview cemetery.  Services 
will be conducted by the Rev. F. R. Wagner, pastor of St. James Lutheran 
church.
