Brod, Barbara Ellen

"Mrs. Conrad Brod" Died September 6 at her home in Frostburg. Her maiden name 
was Barbara Ellen Werner, a daughter of George Werner and his wife Elizabeth, 
late of Meyersdale. She was born May 9, 1856. On August 19, 1877, she was 
married to Conrad Brod, of this place. Early in their married life they moved to 
Frostburg where they since lived. Four daughters were born to them all of whom 
grew to womanhood, married and live in Frostburg. They are: Mrs. William 
Hartman, Mrs. George Gunnet, Mrs. Alexander Close, and Mrs. Ellsworth Myers. The 
funeral took place last Thursday afternoon. The Reformed church, of which she 
was a member, being without a pastor at the present time, Dr. Truxal, of 
Meyersdale, officiated at the funeral. Mrs. Brod's brothers are: H. C. John, 
Paul G. and Mahlon Werner; and her sisters, Mrs. Sarah Baer, Mrs. Adam Dietle 
and Mrs. Herman Baker, all living in the vicinity of Meyersdale. Two sisters, 
Eliza and Anna preceded Mrs. Brod to the world beyond. All of her living 
brothers and sisters, as also Mrs. Minnie Werner, her stepmother, and other 
kindred attended the funeral on Thursday. Mrs. Brod was an excellent woman and 
had a large circle of friends; as a consequence her funeral was largely 
attended. Mrs. Minnie Werner, the stepmother, was waiting on Mrs. Brod in her 
last illness when she received word that her brother, Alex Markle, the County 
Treasurer of Somerset County, had suddenly died. She at once went to his home in 
Somerset, attended the funeral and the next day attended Mrs. Brod's funeral in 
Frostburg.
