ANDREW JACOB EMERICK

  Andrew Jacob Emerick was found dead Sunday afternoon in the garage in the rear 
of his home in Hyndman.  Dr. Charles Yoho, deputy coroner of Bedford County, 
attributed death to a self-inflicted gunshot wound in the neck.
  The deputy coroner learned that Emerick, who was a retired Baltimore & Ohio 
Railroad employe, had been despondent for the past four months because of ill 
health.  Relatives told Dr. Yoho that Emerick had been brooding for several 
weeks.
  The deceased was a son of Jacob and Sarah (Smith) Emerick and was born in 
Londonderry Township on December 22, 1871.  His wife, Mrs. Annie Emerick, died 
several years ago.  Surviving are five children: Mrs. Virgie Smith, Ellerslie, 
Md.; Thomas, Samuel, Ross and Emma Emerick, all of Hyndman.  He was a brother of 
Harry Emerick, Boswell; William Emerick, residing in Ohio, and May Emerick, 
Pittsburgh.  Eight grandchildren and six great-grandchildren also survive.
  Funeral services were conducted at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon in the 
Zeigler Funeral Home at Hyndman by Rev. Charles Evans, pastor of the Evangelical 
Church.  Interment was in the Madley Cemetery.
