ANNIE HERSH

Missing Woman Dead Outdoors
Mrs. John Hersh Found Dead in Field - Perished in Sunday Night's Storm

  Mrs. John (Bloom) Hersh, aged 50, of Fairhope R.D., was found dead in a field 
on the Frank Darr farm, near Berlin, Wednesday afternoon, by Albert Gasser, of 
New Baltimore.  Her death was attributed to exposure by Mrs. Emily Fluck, 
Somerset County Coroner, who conducted an investigation and announced that no 
inquest would be necessary.
  Mrs. Hersh had not been in the best of health for several months, but was able 
to be about.  She left her home Sunday evening at 6 o'clock, but did not tell 
her husband where she was going.  When she did not return late Sunday night a 
search was instituted.
  Parties were organized on Monday but a search of the woods in the vicinity of 
the Hersh home failed to reveal her whereabouts.
  It is believed that she became ill and lost during the heavy rainstorm which 
visited this section on Sunday night and that she died from exposure.
  Mrs. Hersh is survived by her husband, a brother, Harrison Bloom, of Sand 
Patch, and a sister, Miss Lizzie Bloom, of Connellsville.  Four children 
preceded her to the grave.
  The body has been prepared for burial by Undertaker J. N. Johnson & Son, of 
Berlin.  Funeral services will be conducted Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock at 
the Mt. Zion Church.  Interment will be in the church cemetery.
