Dom, Nellie

POPULAR TEACHER DEAD, Miss Nellie Dom, one of Meyers- (Meyersdale's?) best and 
most popular grade school teachers, died last night at her home (on?) Meyers 
Avenue as the result of nervous prostration. For some time Miss Dom had not been 
in good health and preparation for Parent's Day ended in her fatal illness. Her 
mother, who is 80 years of age, is in a critical condition from pneumonia, 
brought on by solicitation for her daughter. Miss Dom was a graduate of the 
California state Normal School and has for many years been a teacher here. She 
was a consistent member of the Lutheran Church and most highly respected. 
Besides her mother, three brothers survive: Henry, of Johnstown, Oliver, 
Pittsburg, and Thomas, on the B. & O; also three sisters: Mrs. W. H. Klingaman, 
at whose home Miss Dom and her mother lived; Mrs. Lillian Meese and Mrs. G. W. 
Day, both of Pittsburg. The funeral will take place Saturday at 1 p. m., Miss 
Dom's pastor, Rev. D. W. Michael officiating.
