PETER BEACHY

  Peter Beachy, born July 21, 1865, near Grantsville, Md., where most of his 
life was spent, died at the home of his son, Howard Beachy, in Salisbury, Pa., 
Aug. 2, 1941, aged 76 years and 11 days.  Deceased was also a resident of

death.

an honest, upright citizen, and a faithful member of the Church of the Brethren 
during the greater portion of his long and honorable life.
  Funeral service was conducted at the Beachy home, West Ord Street, last 
Monday, by Rev. Arthur Serogum, of Accident, Md., at 2 o'clock p.m., and his 
mortal remains were interred in the Grantsville Cemetery, under the direction of 
MOrtician William Winterberg of Grantsville.

Salisbury, Mrs. August Hanft, of Darlington, Md.; Mrs. Herman Hartman, of 
Salisbury; Miss Pauline Beachy, of Bel Air, Md.  He is also survived by three
