home on Beachley Street on Friday afternoon at four o'clock from pneumonia, 
following an illness of two weeks with this malady. Mrs. Hoblitzell had been an 
invalid for the past seven years of that period she was unable to walk for five 
years, having been a great sufferer. It was twenty years ago that Mrs. 
Hoblitzell came from her native city, Baltimore where she was educated, as a 
bride to Meyersdale. The deceased was a daughter of Mr. Ira C. Canfield. The 
only close immediate family is one sister Mrs. Bessie C. Hudson, of Baltimore, 
who was present at the funeral. Besides the husband there are living four 
children: Henry Duff; Julia K.; James Russell Jr.; and Elizabeth Canfield. Mrs.

church and her pastor, Rev. J. C. Matteson conducted the funeral services which 
were held at four o'clock on Monday afternoon. Interment being made in the Union
