GRACE EICHER

  Mrs. Grace Eicher, aged 58, died Saturday morning in the Community Hospital, 
Somerset, where she had been a patient for about ten days.  Mrs. Eicher was born 
in Meyersdale, the daughter of Milton and Ruth (Padgett) Lewis, both deceased, 
pioneer residents of Meyersdale, who came here from Wheeling, W.Va., in the 
latter 1870's.
  Shortly following her marriage to Harry W. Eicher, the family removed to 
Somerset, where they had since resided.  Mr. Eicher died about three years ago.  
These children survive: Clara, with whom her mother made her home, on North 
Edgewood Avenue, Somerset; David Eicher, of Glassport; Mrs. S. C. Walters, of 
Akron, Ohio; H. W. Eicher, Jr., H. Kent Eicher and James W. Eicher, all of 
Somerset.  Also surviving are eight grandchildren; a sister, Mrs. H. L. VonMoose 
of Akron, Ohio, and two brothers, David A. Lewis, Wilmerding, and Harry K. 
Lewis, East McKeesport.  A brother, Edward Lewis, died some years ago.  Mrs. 
Eicher was an aunt of Eugene Lewis, who with his family, resides on North 
Street, this city.
  Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon by the Rev. B. F. Bungard, 
D.D., pastor of the Somerset United Brethren Church, followed by interment in 
Union Cemetery, Meyersdale.
