LLOYD DIETLE

  Lloyd Dietle, son of Mr. and Mrs. Adam Dietle of Greenville Township, died 
Nov. 11th, on the home farm which he purchased from his father a few years ago.
  He was aged 27 years, 10 months and 19 days, having been born Dec. 22, 1903.
  His death came as a shock to everyone, as he was sick only a week.  He had a 
bad cold, which developed into pneumonia.  His physician advised the family to 
get a trained nurse, which they did, but it seemed nothing could be done to save 
his life.
  Lloyd will be greatly missed by all who knew him, as he was always willing to 
help his friends and neighbors in whatever way he could.
  When one of his friends was very ill in a hospital, Lloyd went to his bedside 
and spoke these words of comfort to him:  "You are a good boy and I am praying 
earnestly for you."  So he has made use of that beautiful hymn, "I am praying 
for you."  The boy has said he shall ever remember those comforting words.  And 
so he made many friends by his kindness.
  He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Mildred Miller, of Greenville 
Township, and daughter, Agnes Marie, and his mother and three brothers, John, 
Irvin and Simon, and two sisters, Mrs. Millard Steinly and Mrs. Harvey Geiger.
  Funeral services were held on Sunday afternoon, Nov. 15th, in the Greenville 
Lutheran Church of which Rev. S. D. Sigler, conducted the funeral services.  The 
funeral was one of the largest ever held in that church.  There were many who 
could not get into the church.  Friends came from far and near to pay their 
respects to the friend they loved.  William C. Price of Meyersdale was in charge 
of the burial arrangements.  Interment was made in the church cemetery.
