ELIZABETH FAWNER

  Mrs. Elizabeth Fawner, a widowed daughter of the late Simon and Sarah Humbert 
Tedrow, died at her home in Detroit, Mich., Feb. 7, 1931, at the age of 63 
years, 9 months and 14 days.  Her son and only child, Albert H. Fawner, a 
clothing dealer of Detroit, Mich., brought the body to Salisbury, to the old 
parental home now owned by her brother, George Tedrow, where many of her old-
time friends called to pay their last sad respects to her memory and view her 
remains, before being interred in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery, Wednesday afternoon 
under the direction of Funeral Director J. L. Tressler, of Meyersdale.
  Deceased was wedded to the late Russell Fawner, of Meyersdale, who died some 
years ago, and she remained a widow for the remainder of her life.  After 
becoming a widow she resided in Salisbury for a number of years, but finally 
drifted to larger towns, where she could earn more at her occupation, which was 
that of a seamstress.  Her final place of residence was Detroit, where for the 
last few years she was in very poor health, and suffered much from an incurable 
nervous trouble.  Her son was with her during her last illness, and did all he 
could for her comfort.
  In addition to her son, Mrs. Fawner is survived by brothers and sisters as 
follows:  John H. Tedrow, of Youngstown, Ohio; George and Harvey Tedrow, of 
Salisbury; Frank Tedrow of Tire Hill, Pa.; Mrs. Ellen Chaney, of Garrett; Irvin 
Tedrow, of Saxton; Cleveland Tedrow and Mrs. John Walters, of Akron, Ohio.
  The funeral service was held at the home of her brother, George Tedrow, at 3 
p.m., Wednesday, the 11th inst., Rev. E. D. Bright officiating.
