  April 17, 1914-September 3, 2003
  
    Ervin N. Hershberger, 89, of Meyersdale, died September 3, 2003.
    Born April 17, 1914, near Grantsville, Md., he was the son of the
  late Noah E. and Savilla (Yoder) Hershberger.  On May 12, 1940, he
  was married to Barbara Beachy, who preceded him in death on June 12,
  2000.  He was preceded in death by a stillborn daughter; two
  brothers, Simon and Elmer; three sisters, Sadie, Vernie and Lydia.
    He is survived by his daughter, Mildred, wife of Marvin E. Yoder,
  Meyersdale, and their three children, Joye, Kenton and Lynnette; his
  sister Fannie Beachy and sister-in-law, Fannie Hershberger, both of
  Grantsville, Md.; and numerous nieces and nephews.

  youth, and a senior deacon of the ministerial team at the church. 
  For 26 years, Ervin served as a teacher at Calvary Bible School,
  Calico Rock, Arkansas, from which he retired in 1995.  For a time he
  also served as principal of the school.  Ervin did not particularly
  desire to be remembered for his years of service but for the Lord
  Jesus Christ whom he served.

  services were conducted on Monday, September 8, at 2p.m. at Mountain
