MARY LOUISE HAMILL

  Mary Louise Hamill, wife of A. T. Hamill, passed away in the Hazel McGilvery 
Hospital last Saturday morning from a complication of diseases from which she 
had been suffering for several years.
  Funeral services were conducted in her late home on Sherman Street, Monday 
afternoon, by Rev. B. A. Black, pastor of Amity Reformed Church, of which she 
was a member for many years.  Burial took place in Union Cemetery under 
direction of Undertaker W. C. Price.
  Mrs. Hamill was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John J. Stotler, both deceased.  
She was born at Rawlings, Allegany County, Md., about 70 years ago and moved 
with her parents to the farm now occupied by Bird Bros. in Elk Lick and Summit 
Townships, Somerset County, Pa., about 1874, where she grew to womanhood.
  For some years after her marriage to Mr. Hamill they lived in Charlotte, N.C., 
where Mr. Hamill was in business.  They removed from there to Lonaconing, Md., 
and about 25 years ago and eventually located in Meyersdale where she assisted 
her husband in conducting a novelty and notion store until their retirement 
about ten years ago.
  Mr. and Mrs. Hamill had two children, both of whom died in infancy.  She is 
survived by one brother, William H. Stotler of Meyersdale, and two sisters, Mrs. 
Demetrius Compton, of Compton's Mills, Salisbury, R.D. 1, and Mrs. Philip W. 
Geidt of Pittsburgh.  Owing to the illness of Mrs. Geidt none of the Geidt 
family was able to attend the funeral of Mrs. Hamill.
  Mrs. Hamill was a lady of very pleasant disposition and appearance and had 
many admiring friends.  She was a popular and useful member of the Meyersdale 
community and was devoted to her husband and her church.  Her passing is mourned 
by many friends who sympathize deeply with the bereaved husband.
