NEFF.

  Miss Mary Virginia Neff, of 1311 Mifflin street, Huntingdon, Pa., 
died at the home of her brother, Clyde E. Neff, in Wilkinsburg, on 
Thursday, October 17th at 11.30 a.m. from the effects of Spanish 
influenza and pneumonia.  She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George 
Neff (both deceased) and was born in Huntingdon on January 31, 1898; 
being aged at time of death 20 years, 8 months and 17 days.  Miss Neff 
had graduated from the Huntingdon High school in 1916, and from the 
Zeth Business School in Altoona, in 1917.  About four months prior to 
her death she went to Wilkinsburg, where she accepted a position in the 
offices of the Westinghouse Company.  She was always of a bright and 
cheerful disposition, and had many friends in Huntingdon, who are very 
sorry to learn of her sudden death.  While in Huntingdon, she had been 
employed as clerk in several of the best stores, and her services were 
always entirely satisfactory wherever she worked; the writer can vouch 
for the truthfulness of such a statement, as she at one time clerked in 
his store.  She is survived by the following brothers and sisters: 
Clyde E. and Miss Margaret M. Neff, of Wilkinsburg; James B. Neff, of 
Altoona; Charles in the U.S. service in France; Miss Frances Neff, of 
Huntingdon and by Mrs. Nellie, the wife of W. L. Beck, of 1311 Mifflin 
street, this city.  The body was brought to Huntingdon on Friday 
afternoon, and taken to the home of her sister, Mrs. Beck, where 
private funeral services were conducted on Sunday afternoon, by the 
Rev. L. M. Brady, pastor of the Fifteenth street Methodist Episcopal 
church, of which the deceased was a faithful member.  Interment in 
Riverview cemetery in the family plot.
