EDWARD A. FOLK

Springs, PA

  Friends here of Edward A. Folk, of Phoenix, Ariz., received a telegram on Feb. 
19, telling of his death.  He was a son of the late Abraham Folk and has five 
sisters, two brothers and two half-sisters and a step-mother still living here.  
He also leaves a widow and four daughters in Arizona.  He had been a sufferer 
for years of hemorrhoids and stomach trouble.  He was aged 53 years and has a 
large number of relatives living in this vicinity, who were very sorry to hear 
of his death, as he was of such a nature that he made friends wherever he went.  
At one time he won a gold watch in a bicycle race from Salisbury to Meyersdale 
and return via Summit Mills and St. Paul.  He was formerly employed by F. W. 
Bender and was a fine mechanic.  None of the relatives went to Arizona to attend 
his funeral.  His wife was a Miss Debolt from Masontown, Pa.
