ELIZABETH RUTH HANFT

  Cove, Md., April 4 - Elizabeth Ruth Hanft, the 5-year-old daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. William Hanft, died on Thursday morning, March 31, at her home, after an 
illness of three weeks, due to a bealing in the head and "flu."  Funeral 
services were held Saturday at 2:30, in the St. John's German Church, with 
burial in the adjoining cemetery.  Rev. H. H. Fickincher conducted the 
obsequies.  The pallbearers were Mabel Duckworth, Esther Harmon, Garnet and 
Wilma Reichenbecher.  The flower girls were Hilda Reichenbecher and Anna Hanft.  
Betty, as she was called, is survived by her parents, two sisters and two 
brothers, her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John Weber and Mrs. Margaret Hanft, and 
many other relatives and friends.  She was a sweet child and an aching void has 
been left in the family and community by her untimely death.
