Mrs. Elizabeth Waite

  Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of Joseph H. Waite, after a lingering illness 
from heart trouble increased by the infirmities of age, died at her 
home in Warriorsmark valley Tuesday morning at 9.30.  Her maiden name 
was Elizabeth Keith.  She was born at Spruce Creek, March 14, 1821, and 
at death was aged 71 years, 10 months and 10 days.  She was married to 
Mr. Waite November 28, 1842 at Spruce Creek.  Since their marriage this 
worthy couple had been continuously residents of Warriorsmark valley.
  Mrs. Waite was a consistent member of and faithful attendant at the 
Methodist Episcopal church at Warriorsmark.  Although domestic in her 
habits she enjoyed a large circle of friends and acquaintances, and her 
home was ever made free and hospitably open to all.  She was a loving, 
affectionate and dutiful helpmate, a kind and indulgent mother and a 
Christian woman.  The greater loss will be felt at the hearthstone and 
in the home which she ever made pleasant, and will also extend largely 
into the surroundings where her many virtues were known.
  Surviving are her husband, six sons and two daughters, to whom the 
heartfelt sympathy of the community goes out in this time of 
bereavement.  The surviving children are: Theodore, at Water street; 
Andrew A. K., at home; Mary, wife of Jacob H. Mattern, at Warriorsmark; 
Hayes H., attorney-at-law, Huntingdon; George C., insurance agent, 
Tyrone; S. Blair, farmer, Franklin township, Huntingdon county; Joseph 
L., Krider, Huntingdon county, and Lillie, wife of Scott Buck, of 
Warriorsmark valley.  One son, Alvin B. preceded his mother to the 
tomb.
  Funeral services will be held at her late home Thursday morning at 10 
o'clock to be conducted by Rev. J. W. Ely.  Interment following in 
Warriorsmark cemetery.
