CLARA E. DICKEY

  Mrs. Edward J. Dickey, aged 66, died at her home on Salisbury Street,

Joel J. Welch, for many years a prominent minister of the Lutheran Church in 
Somerset County, and a sister of Hon. Everett Welch, of Friedens, a former 
member of the Pennsylvania Legislature.
  Soon after her marriage, Mrs. Dickey came to Meyersdale with her husband and 
had lived here ever since.  Mr. Dickey, who was chief clerk in the Dull 
Mercantile Company's store in Meyersdale for many years, also a member of and 
secretary of the Meyersdale Citizen's Bank and Clerk of the Borough Council and 
a Borough Auditor during most of the time he lived in Meyersdale, died about 
three years ago, since which time his widow continued to live here with several 
of her children.
  The following named children survive her:  Three sons - Carl, Joel and W. M. 
Dickey - and six daughters - Mrs. J. H. Nicklin, Mrs. John Bangerd, Mrs. H. F. 
Worth, Helen, Bessie and Alice Dickey - also five grandchildren - Joseph, James 
and Ralph Dickey and James and Eileen Bangerd.
  Funeral services will be conducted Friday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock at the 
Dickey home, in charge of Rev. Howard K. Hilner, pastor of the local Lutheran 
Church.  Interment will be in the Union Cemetery.  J. L. Tressler has charge of 
the burial arrangements.
