NAOMI GLOTFELTY

Death of Mrs. Jacob Glotfelty
Grantsville, Maryland - April 9

  The death of Mrs. Naomi Glotfelty, wife of Jacob J. Glotfelty, in the Union 
Memorial Hospital, Baltimore, on Monday morning, April 7, came as a shock to her 
many friends and relatives.  Mrs. Glotfelty was taken to the Hospital on March 
25 for an operation.  She had been suffering for several months from an 
affection in her head which was pronounced a tumor and rapidly grew worse.  She 
submitted to an operation last Thursday.  The surgeons found a tumor in her 
brain, which could not be removed.  She rallied from the operation for a short 
while, but soon relapsed and remained unconscious until she passed away.
  Mrs. Glotfelty was a daughter of the late Jesse C. and Nancy Miller.  She was 
born at Pocahontas, Pa., on May 16, 1887, being in her 53rd year when she passed 
away.  She was the second wife of Mr. Glotfelty, his first wife, Addie 
Longsdorf, having passed away many years ago.  She is survived by her husband 
and the following children:  Mrs. Thelma Shearer, Frostburg; Ralph, of Kingwood, 
W.Va.; Harold, Orlando and Pauline, at home, and five grandchildren; also by the 
following brothers and sisters: Mrs. Edith Mammau and Mrs. Nancy Engle, Berlin, 
Pa.; Mrs. Etta Doerr, Grantsville; Charles Miller, Connellsville; Russell 
Miller, Greensburg, Pa.; William Miller, Meyersdale, and half-brothers and 
sisters - John and Edward Miller, Akron, O.; Irvin Miller, Pocahontas; Mrs. Emma 
Poorbaugh and Mrs. Nancy Brill, Somerset, Pa.; Mrs. Grace Selders, Akron, O., 
Mrs. Ada Slagle, Meyersdale.
  Mr. and Mrs. Glotfelty were married in April 1899.  They lived in Salisbury 
several years, later moving to the Gephart farm near Grantsville and then they 
moved to Grantsville where they lived the last 12 years.  Mrs. Glotfelty made 
many friends since coming here, who will miss her for her kindness to them in 
many ways.  She was of an amiable disposition and was a wonderful home maker and 
mother.  She will be greatly missed in the home and the community.
  She became a member of the Reformed Church, Nov. 22, 1891, at Pocahontas, 
later transferring her membership to the Grantsville church.  She was a faithful 
attendant and worker whenever she could help.
  Funeral services will be held Thursday morning, April 10, in the Reformed 
Church, her former pastor, Rev. L. N. Wilson, of Berlin, Pa., officiating.  
Interment will be made in the Grantsville cemetery.
