SAMUEL HAUSE

  Samuel Hause, a native of Elk Lick Township, who for years suffered terribly, 
at intervals, from asthma, died at his home in West Salisbury, Tuesday morning, 
Dec. 21, at the age of 56 years, 9 months and 3 days.  He and William Hause, an 
elder brother, lived together in the same house since the death of their mother, 
some years ago.
  Each slept in a separate room, and William could give only an incoherent 
account of what took place after both had retired for the night.  Samuel had 
been in poor health for some time, and the surviving brother thought he heard 
his afflicted brother walking in his own room about midnight or shortly 
thereafter.  When daylight came, Samuel was found dead on the floor by the 
surviving brother, and a doctor's examination made it apparent that he died on 
the date mentioned, of asthma and other complications.
  He was a son of Samuel and Eliza (Stevanus) Hause.  In addition to the 
surviving brother he is also survived by one sister, Mrs. Susan Bisbing of 
Meyersdale.
  The deceased was a veteran of World War I, and for a while was a member of the 
Earl H. Opel Post of the American Legion.
  Funeral services were held at the funeral parlor of Mortician Stanley M. 
Thomas, in Salisbury at 10:30 today (Thursday).  The officiating clergyman was 
Rev. S. D. Sigler.  Interment was in the St. Paul Cemetery, under the direction 
of mortician Thomas.
  The pallbearers were members of the local American Legion Post.
