  Mrs. Malinda Susan Faidley, 82, widow of Harvey F. Faidley, died shortly after 
8 o'clock Sunday morning, at the home of her son, Lloyd H. Faidley, Grand 
Island, Neb., May 2.
  Although a semi-invalid as the result of a fall nearly three years ago, Mrs. 
Faidley appeared in her customary excellent health until only a few hours before 
her death.  Since the fall in which she suffered a hip fracture, she had been 
compelled to use crutches.
  Funeral services were held at 2:30 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon, May 5, at her 
son's home.  The Rev. Leslie F. Sweetland, Presbyterian pastor, conducted the 
rites, with burial in the family plot in Grand Island Cemetery.
  Relatives present at the funeral services from distant places were Luke H. 
Broadwater, Wilmington, Del.; Belle Cole, Findlay, Ohio; Mrs. Ruth S. Thompson, 
Sr., Pasadena, Cal.; Frank Faidley, Des Moines, Iowa; Dr. and Mrs. Wm. M. 
Trotter, Maxwell, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Ed Hill, Mt. Morris, Ill.; Mrs. Clara 
Schaefer, Weldona, Colo.; Mr. and Mrs. Dan Henninger, Davenport, Iowa; Mrs. Joan 
Cemens, Waterloo, Iowa; Dr. Paul B. Schaefer, Leonard Miller, Mrs. Ray Jourdan, 
Miss Jessie Groer, and Peter W. Lakers, Columbus, Neb.
  Mrs. Faidley, daughter of Ephriam and Lydia Tressler Broadwater, was born Dec. 
1, 1860, near Glencoe, Somerset County, Pa., the eighth in a family of 13 
children.
  On July 12, 1885, she married Harvey F. Faidley, born and reared near 
Meyersdale, youngest son of Elijah Faidley, at Glencoe, and they immediately 
established their home at Burr Oak, Kansas, where her husband had already 
engaged in business as editor and publisher of the Burr Oak Herald.  Three sons 
were born of them: Harry C., who died at Grand Island, Neb., Feb. 9, 1931; 
Lloyd, with whom they made their last home, and a son who passed away in 
infancy.
  The family moved to Atchison, Kansas in 1890, and four years later to St. 
Louis, the parental home until 1923, when Mr. and Mrs. Faidley moved to 
Columbus, Neb., where their son Lloyd was then in business. They moved to Grand 
Island to make their home with Lloyd in July, 1941.  Mr. Faidley died Feb. 20, 
1942.
  Surviving besides the son, Lloyd, is a brother, Luke H. Broadwater, of 
Wilmington, Del.
  Harvey F. Faidley spent the best years of his life in the railway mail service 
while he was a resident of St. Louis, Mo.  He was a schoolmate of the senior 
editor of The Meyersdale Republican in Meyersdale in 1875, and one of his most 
highly esteemed friends for more than 65 years.
