LOUISA MATILDA GLASS
Garrett County, Maryland

  Mrs. Louisa Matilda (Miller) Glass, aged 64, wife of A. A. Glass, a well known 
Cove farmer, died at her home on Cove Hill about 2 o'clock Friday morning, after 
an illness of several weeks.  She had been in a hospital since April 27, and at 
her urgent request to be allowed to go home, was removed there Thursday 
afternoon.  Her family had entertained but little hope for her recovery for some 
time.
  Mrs. Glass had lived all of her life at the home where she died.  She was born 
there, May 24, 1876, a daughter of Phillip and Mary Hanft Miller, and was 64 
years of age.  She and Mr. Glass were married there in September 1892 and reared 
their family on this farm.
  She united with the English Lutheran Church of Cove in her early girlhood and, 
until ill health prevented, took an active interest in the work of that 
organization.  She was also a leader in the work of the Ladies Aid Society of 
the church.  Mrs. Glass was a good wife and mother and a kind and considerate 
neighbor and had earned for herself a wide circle of friends.  She was well 
known in this and the Accident communities as well as those adjoining.
  Surviving are her husband and seven children, namely, Mrs. Nellie Hutzell, 
Zanesville, O.; Mrs. Ethel Jenkins, Friendsville; Ernest Glass and Henry Glass, 
Accident; Francis Glass, Westernport, who served in the World War, Carl Glass 
and Olen Glass at home.  One brother, Albert Miller, Philadelphia, one sister, 
Mrs. Rosie Ringer, Wadsworth, O., and twenty grandchildren also survive.  Mrs. 
Glass was also a sister of the late H. P. Miller, who was well known here.
  Funeral services were conducted from the home at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon by 
the Rev. L. A. Wagner, pastor of her church.  Interment was in the Little Brown 
Church Cemetery, under the supervision of 
William Winterberg, local mortician.  Pallbearers were Lawrence Sellers, John 
Hetrick, Harry Margroff, Scott Duckworth, John Opel, and Bert Griffith.  All of 
the immediate relatives from out of town were here for these services.
