  Mrs. Charles Gaumer of Ellerslie, Md., R.F.D. 1, died at her late home, in 
Southampton Township, Jan. 5, from heart disease.  She had been in ill health 
for the last four months, but was up and around all day Sunday and did not 
complain any on retiring Sunday evening.  She was found dead in bed at 5 
o'clock, Monday morning, by her daughter, Beatrice who had got up to get 
breakfast for her brother, Samuel, who is employed in Cumberland, Md.  After 
being up about 20 minutes Beatrice returned up-stairs to find her mother just 
breathing her last breath.
  She was 59 years, 6 months and 16 days of age and is survived by the following 
children: Harvey E. Gaumer, Ellerslie, Md.; Samuel, at home; Mrs. Eugene Lowery, 
Bedford, Pa.; Mrs. Lloyd Sturtz, Wellersburg; Beatrice, at home, also by 13 
grandchildren, three at home - Myrtle, Betty and Johnnie - also by two sisters, 
Mrs. Catherine Bingman, Portland, Ore., and Mrs. L. V. Moyer, Mars, Pa., and
