WOODROW CANNON

  Woodrow Cannon, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Cannon of Sand Patch died at the 
Hazel McGilvery Hospital this (Thursday) morning at 9 o'clock, after a short 
illness brought on by an infection of the kidneys.
  Woodrow was one of Meyersdale High School's athletic stars, having been an 
outstanding player on the local football squad.  He was a member of the 
Sophomore class and a conscientious student, popular with both the teachers and 
the student body.  Last Tuesday when the football boys were awarded their 
varsity letters Coach Steumpfle and Captain Billy Price took his letter to the 
hospital and presented it to him.  He was very much delighted and proud to 
receive this emblem, which is much sought after by the students, either in 
athletics or scholastic standing.
  Woodrow Cannon was born October 29th, 1913, and died at the age of 18 years, 2 
months and 22 days.  Last year he was confirmed in the White Oak Reformed 
Church, where funeral services will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock 
by the pastor, Rev. J. E. Gindlesperger.  Interment will be made in the White 
Oak Cemetery, with Undertaker W. C. Price in charge of the funeral arrangements.
  Coach Steumpfle and six of his football boys, Chester Herwig, Robert Lepley, 
John Adamson, Clarence Seibert, William Smith and William Price, will act as 
pallbearers.
  He is survived by his parents, three sisters, Mrs. Earl Bane of Denbo, Pa., 
Mary V. and Barbara E., at home, and five brothers, William H., James A., Claude 
R., Ralph G., and Barron E., all at home.
