MARTHA COZZENS

  Mrs. Martha Cozzens, daughter of the late Isaac and Rebekah Gorsuch, died in 
the Somerset County Hospital on Tuesday evening, May 17th, at 7 o'clock, at the 
age of 76 years, 2 months and 28 days.
  Mrs. Cozzens was born in Huntingdon County, Pa., Feb. 20, 1856. In 1882 she 
was married to Hiram Cozzens who died 35 years ago and is buried at Johnstown.  
To this union were born four children, three of whom are dead.  Mrs. Mary E. 
Baer, wife of W. P. Baer of Meyersdale, survives, together with 12 grandchildren 
and 4 great-grandchildren, one sister, Mrs. Emma Whitwer, of Philadelphia, and 
one brother, Isaac Gorsuch of Millcreek, Pa.
  For many years Mrs. Cozzens was a member of the Presbyterian church, but when 
her youngest daughter married a Methodist minister, she united with that church.  
For a number of years she was housekeeper for the Kendall Lumber Company at 
Crellin, Md., when that town was an active sawmill village.  When her health 
became impaired she gave up her work and made her home with her daughter, Mrs. 
Baer, but a few years ago, after her sight was almost completely gone and her 
health was such that she needed careful nursing she was admitted to the County 
Hospital, where she passed away after a lingering illness.
  Undertaker W. C. Price removed the body to his funeral chapel where funeral 
services will be conducted on Friday morning at 10 o'clock by Rev. W. T. 
Robinson, pastor of the local Methodist Church.  Interment will be made in the 
Lichty Cemetery at Summit Mills.
