  Barbara Ellen Coleman Glotfelty was born August 13, 1854, in Brothersvalley 
Township, near Hay's Church.  She died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. C. J. 
Hartle in Seward, Pa., May 29, 1932, aged 77 years, 9 months and 16 days.  Mrs. 
Glotfelty was the daughter of the late John Coleman and a sister of the late ex-
sheriff, Andrew W. Coleman.
  She was united in marriage to Simon J. Glotfelty, in Berlin, February 6, 1879.  
To this union were born the following children:  Edgar of Berlin; Ada, Mrs. 
Charles Ringler, deceased; Harry, deceased; Charles, Oakland, Cal.; Naomi, Mrs. 
E. L. Werner, Hubbard, Ohio; Walter, Meyersdale; Ruth, Mrs. C. J. Hartle, 
Seward, Pa.; Miles, Pittsburgh.  Her husband died in 1915.  She is also survived 
by 14 grandchildren and the following brothers and sisters:  Albert Coleman, of 
Berlin; Frank, of Illinois.  One brother, Andrew, and one sister, Mrs. Sara 
Berkible, of Pine Hill, preceded her to the spirit world.
  Mrs. Glotfelty was in poor health for several years, but during the past four 
months she seemed to be much better.  Last Thursday evening she was stricken by 
paralysis from which she never regained consciousness and which caused her 
departure Sunday night.
  Funeral services were held in the Reformed Church of Salisbury, Thursday 
afternoon, Rev. A. M. Wright officiating.  Interment was made in the Greenville 
Cemetery immediately afterward, Undertaker W. C. Price in charge.
