ALICE LOUISE BUCKEL

Grantsville, Maryland

  Funeral services for Alice Louise Buckel, aged 24, who died Friday, Oct. 11, 
were held at 2 o'clock Monday afternoon, Oct. 14, from the Bittinger Lutheran 
Church.  Rev. A. C. Curran, pastor, officiated and the church was filled with 
relatives and friends who came to pay their last respects.  Interment was in the 
adjoining cemetery.
  Alice Buckel was the only daughter of Oliver C. and Ruth Shoup Buckel, well 
known residents of this section.  Her father is proprietor of a general store at 
Bittinger.  She was born in that community October 22, 1916, attended local 
schools and was graduated from the Accident High School.  Although she suffered 
from a heart condition for several years, she became critically ill about four 
weeks ago.  The family had tried various climates in the hope that her health 
could be improved, but apparently nothing could be done.  News of her death, 
which occurred about 9 o'clock Friday morning, came as a distinct shock to their 
many friends in this community.  She had been a member of the Bittinger Lutheran 
Church for several years.
  Surviving in addition to her bereaved parents, are six brothers, namely, 
Herbert B., Rexford C., Ralph L., Joseph R., Kenneth R., and Elbert E. Buckel, 
all of the Bittinger section.
