EMMETT HAROLD GEORG

  Emmett Harold Georg was born October 9, 1907, and fell asleep January 22, 
1931, aged 23 years, 3 months and 13 days. He was the eldest child of a family 
of four children living, one older brother dying in infancy, thus leaving to 
mourn his early departure his parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Georg, two brothers, 
Merle, aged 16 and Ward, aged 13, and one sister, Thelma, aged 20.  He was 
always a very dutiful son and brother, but was never blessed with very good 
health, although never complaining.  He seemed to be enjoying fairly good health 
until about four years ago when he was stricken with a malady from which he 
partly recovered, but had since been living on a diet.  He always was in a good 
humor and seemed to be getting along fairly well until several weeks ago when he 
again became sick and bedfast and steadily grew worse.  Nothing was left undone 
to relieve his suffering.  He was very tenderly cared for and all that loving 
hands could do was done for him, without avail, and finally on the night of 
January 22nd death finally relieved him of his suffering.  He was baptised by 
the late Rev. Dr. L. P. Young and was confirmed as a member of the Lutheran 
Church at St. Paul by Rev. Rearick.
  The body was prepared for burial by Undertaker C. B. Stuart, of Rimersburg, 
and was brought to Meyersdale by auto-hearse, accompanied by the bereaved 
family, arriving at the home of the decedent's grandmother, Mrs. Ellen Folk of 
Trans-Meyersdale on Saturday at 1 p.m., where funeral services were conducted on 
Sunday at 1:30 p.m., by Rev. B. A. Black of Amity Reformed Church.  The services 
were largely attended by sorrowing relatives and friends who gathered to pay 
their last respects to one they knew so well and loved.
  After the services, the people who were gathered there, were given the 
opportunity to look for the last time upon the face of a young man whom they 
knew and held in high esteem.  The body was then taken to the St. Paul Cemetery 
for burial in the family plot at that place.  Here the casket was opened again 
for the large circle of friends who had gathered there to see for the last time 
that familiar face.  This young man was well known and highly respected by the 
people of the St. Paul community who were saddened by the news of his untimely 
demise.
