Bittner, Edward

  Edward Bittner of Glade City after an illness of about eight months when he 
sustained a paralytic stroke, also having suffered from rheumatism and heart 
trouble, died Wednesday morning at ten o'clock. Edward Bittner was the son of 
Moses Bittner, who died about fifteen years ago. Mr. Bittner had spent his 
entire life in this community and had been employed by the Mt. Savage Fire Brick 
Co., for many years. He was born February 12th, 1855, and died January 28th, 
1914, aged 58 years, 11 months and 16 days. He was married to Matilda Domer. To 
this union were born eight children of which number four sons and three 
daughters survive viz: Harry, Charles, William and Edward, Ellen, Clara and 
Annie. Clara is married to Fred Graham and Ellen is married to Henry Swearman. 
All live in this community. He is also survived by his wife and one brother, S. 
W. Bittner of town and one sister, Mrs. Simon Geiger of Connellsville. Mr. 
Bittner had been a member of the Meyersdale Lutheran Church for some time in 
which he was much interested and faithfully attended the services when his 
health permitted. The funeral will be held on Friday leaving the home at 12 
o'clock. Services will be held in White Oak Lutheran Church, Rev. E. S. Johnson 
of Salisbury, officiating. Interment will be made in the cemetery adjoining the 
church. Mr. Bittner had been a great sufferer during his life and in his late 
sickness the many friends showed much kindness to him, and the family feels very 
grateful for the help rendered and the sympathy extended.
