ELIZABETH BAER

  Mrs. Elizabeth Baer, widow of Isaiah Baer, passed away at 2:30 o'clock last 
Thursday afternoon at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sadie Albright, on North 
Street, at the age of 87 years and five months.
  She was born October 25, 1853, in Greenville Township, where she resided 
practically all her life, a daughter of Peter and Maria Miller, and was the last 
of their family of thirteen children.
  In 1874 she united in marriage with Isaiah Baer, to which union ten children 
were born, six of whom are surviving: Miss Ella Baer, Mrs. James Weigle, and 
Mrs. Frank Keefer, all of Somerset; W. G. Baer of Salisbury, Mrs. Sadie Albright 
of Meyersdale and Mrs. Bruce Cook of Weehawken, N.J.
  About four years after the death of her husband, April 16, 1914, Mrs. Baer 
moved from Greenville Township to Salisbury, where she resided until about four 
years ago when she came to live with Mrs. Albright.
  When she was about twenty years of age she united with the Greenville Lutheran 
Church.  Upon moving to Salisbury she transferred her membership to the Lutheran 
church there, of which church she was a member at the time of her death.
  Funeral services were conducted at three o'clock on Sunday afternoon in the 
Greenville Lutheran Church by her pastor, Rev. S. D. Sigler.  Brief services 
were held at the Albright home by Rev. H. K. Hilner, local Lutheran pastor.  
Interment was made in Greenville Cemetery in charge of H. R. Konhaus, local 
mortician.
