Besides the parents, a brother also survives. Funeral services were held Friday afternoon at the Center Lutheran Church with the Rev. William Gauntz and Rev. Stahl, pastor, officiating. Interment was in the church cemetery. This marks the second time within several months that misfortune has dogged the DuPont family. Last winter the DuPont home on Garrett R.D. burned to the ground, destroying all of the family possessions. The family was lucky to escape with their lives, but Mr. DuPont was severely burned, and Mrs. DuPont injured her back. Meyersdale Republican, April 10, 1941
