Gardill, Mrs. J. G.

  A respected resident of Berlin, who had passed the four score mark by one year 
died at the home of the son in Berlin on Sunday morning at 7 o'clock. Mrs. 
Gardill while disposed was by no means regarded in a critical condition. Shortly 
preceding her death she was up and walking about her room and when she sat down 
upon a chair, the messenger of death suddenly came, she dying almost instantly. 
The deceased was the widow of J. G Gardill who was a traveling salesman, who was 
very favorably and well known in this section of the state. Mr. Gardill was a 
veteran of the Civil war and was very active in affairs pertaining to the G. A. 
R. There survive Mrs. Gardill, three sisters of St. Paris, Ohio, the youngest of 
whom, Mrs. Stockton, was with her at the time of her death; also three sons and 
four daughters are living: H. F. Gardill, of Philadelphia; J. W. Gardill, of 
Berlin; J. G. Gardill of Baltimore; Mrs. J. C. McDevitt, of Phil.; Mrs. F. A. 
Ehmer, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. S. P. Brubaker, of Berlin; and Mrs. S. B. 
Philson, of Meyersdale. The deceased was a faithful member of the Lutheran 
church and her pastor, Rev. Brubaker, conducted the funeral services at 3:30 
Wednesday.
