  Mrs. Emily (Truxal) Binford, aged 53, widow of William Binford, died Monday 
afternoon in the Magee Hospital, Pittsburgh, following a brief illness of 
pneumonia.
  Mrs. Binford was the oldest daughter of Rev. Dr. and Mrs. A. E. Truxal, of 
Somerset.  She was born in Somerset and spent most of her girlhood in Meyersdale 
while her father was pastor of Amity Reformed Church.  She was graduated from 
the Meyersdale High School and Hood College and taught music for several years 
before her marriage.
  Following the death of her husband 16 years ago, Mrs. Binford engaged in 
business for herself and had been Pennsylvania representative of a Louisville, 
Ky., business concern for more than 15 years.
  Surviving are her parents, a son, William, Jr., a student at the Massanutten, 
Va., Military School, and these brothers and sisters; Miss Rebekah Truxal, a 
teacher in the Somerset High School; Capt. William Curtis Truxal, of Wayne, Pa., 
and Mrs. John Ritchie, of Pittsburgh.  A brother, Albert Truxal, preceded her to 
the grave.
  Her body was received Tuesday afternoon at her late home in Somerset, where 
funeral services were conducted Wednesday afternoon by Rev. Dr. George L. Roth, 
pastor of St. Paul's Reformed Church, followed by interment in Union Cemetery 
Somerset.
