Mrs. Adam Anstead

  Susannah, wife of Adam Anstead, of No. 1133 Franklin Street, Eight Ward, died 
from a cancerous affection at her home about 11 o'clock this morning aged 
seventy-five years, four months, twenty-eight days.  Mrs. Anstead had been 
ailing for some time, and her death was not unexpected.  The funeral will be 
held from the late home of the deceased Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, the 
Rev. W. A. Shoman, Mrs. Anstead's pastor, officiating.  Interment will be made 
in Grand-View Cemetery.
  Mrs. Anstead had a large number of friends, not only in this city but 
throughout northern Somerset County, and a large concourse of persons is 
expected to attend the obsequies.
  Mrs. Anstead was born December 5, 1827 near Stoyestown, her parents being 
Moses Berkebile and Susannah [***the next two lines are blurred] August 15, 1850 
to Adam Anstead and with him made her home at or near Benscreek until nineteen 
years ago, when they moved to the Eight Ward, this city.  Ten children in all 
were born to Mr. and Mrs. Anstead, of whom those surviving are: Joseph H., of 
Johnstown; Isaiah, of Baker City, Ore., who arrived here two weeks ago and is 
now in the city; Rachel, wife of Frank Barry, of Benton, Ind.; J. A. Anstead, of 
Eight Ward; Cyrus, of Benscreek, and Maude, wife of Eugene Dwyer, of the Eight 
Ward. Twelve grandchildren also survive Mrs. Anstead, who three years ago, with 
her husband and descendants, celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of her wedding.
