EMANUEL DURST

  Emanuel Durst, son of the late Samuel and Louisiana Durst, was born in what 
was then Allegany County, now Garrett County, Maryland, March 28, 1857, and 
passed away at his home in Garrett County, Md., near Springs, Pa., Jan. 21, 
1932, aged 74 years, 9 months and 23 days.  He was the last surviving member of 
a family of 11 children, 6 brothers and 4 sisters.  By his quiet and unassuming 
manner he won many friends.  He was a lifelong member of the Mennonite Church at 
Springs, where the funeral was held Saturday at 2 p.m.
  Emanuel Durst was never married, but a large number of relatives came to pay 
their last respects to a loved one - some from Hooversville and Berlin.  Charles 
A. Walls preached the funeral sermon, assisted by G. D. Miller, and M. B. 
Miller.  The pallbearers were S. S. Miller, D. D. Otto, S. J. Maust, C. F. 
Killius, N. S. Maust and Alvin Rodamer.  William Winterberg was the undertaker 
in charge.
