ELIZABETH PRITTS BEACHY

  Mrs. Elizabeth Pritts Beachy, Somerset, died in the Presbyterian Hospital in 
Pittsburgh where she had been admitted Saturday evening.  She was the wife of 
Wilbert H. Beachy, deputy secretary of revenue and chairman of the Somerset 
County Republican party.  Mrs. Beachy had been in ill health the past year, and 
recently returned from a trip to Florida with her husband, apparently in better 
health.  Saturday, she became seriously ill and was taken in an ambulance to the 
hospital.  Death was due to a cardiac condition.
  She was born in Somerset, the daughter of the late Elmer E. and Minnie Sipe 
Pritts.  Her father was a former superintendent of Somerset County schools.
  Mrs. Beachy was well known in the community and took an active part in many 
community affairs.  She was a member of Trinity Lutheran Church, Trinity Chapter 
of Eastern Star, Somerset County Council of Republican Women, Somerset Music 
Club, Fortnightly Club and the Somerset Country Club.
  Besides her husband, she is survived by one son, Wilbert H. Beachy Jr., a 
student at University of Pennsylvania law school in Philadelphia.
  Funeral services were conducted at Walter S. Hoffman Funeral Home, Somerset, 
Tuesday afternoon at three o'clock, with the Rev. Dr. I. Hess Wagner 
officiating.  Burial was made in the Husband Cemetery.
