  Mrs. Lydia Bangerd, aged 70, died on Thursday, October 1st, at her home on 
Salisbury Street, following an illness of several months, from a complication of 
diseases.  She was a daughter of Matthew and Catherine (Durst) Patton, and was 
born near Salisbury, Pa., March 12th, 1861.  She was confirmed as a member of 
the Reformed Church by Rev. Calvin U. Heilman at Salisbury, January 10, 1875, 
and always adhered to the Reformed faith.  On November 6, 1887, she was married 
to Henry Bangerd at Salisbury, by Rev. J. M. Evans.  To them were born four 
children, three of whom survive:  Mary Kathryn Tewell of Baltimore, Md., Martha 
Viola, of Pittsburgh, and Joe, at home.  William died in 1918.  Her husband 
preceded her to the grave twenty-one years ago.  The following grandchildren 
also survive:  Kathryn Spence of Washington, D.C., and Eileen Bangerd of

E. Truxal.  A quartet from the church choir sang "Abide With Me," "In the 
Garden" and "Face to Face."  Interment was made in the church cemetery, 
Undertaker William C. Price having charge of the burial arrangements.
  Mrs. Bangerd was a highly esteemed member of the community and will be sadly
