SADIE HOFFMAN

  Mrs. Sadie Hoffman died Friday night, May 14, at the age of 89 years, 12 days, 
at the home of Mrs. Nettie Durst of Large Street, her nurse.  A bed-ridden 
invalid for several years, it became necessary to remove Mrs. Hoffman from her 
home on Meyers Ave. May 31, 1946, following the death of her sister, Miss Mary 
Hocking, and through arrangements made by her devoted son, Lee, who is himself 
an invalid suffering from arthritis, she was taken into the home of Mrs. Durst 
who gave her tender and efficient care through many months of suffering.
  Mrs. Hoffman was born in Clarksburg, W.Va., a daughter of John T. and Sally 
Taylor Oats Hocking, who later came to Meyersdale and became a prominent family 
here.  Mrs. Hoffman's husband, R. Frank Hoffman, died many years ago.  She is 
survived by one son, Lee Hoffman, hotel man of Cresson.
  Funeral services were conducted Sunday afternoon at 1:30 at the Price Funeral 
Home, with Rev. Floyd Gotjen, pastor of the First Methodist Church officiating.  
Interment in Union Cemetery.
  Relatives who attended the funeral were Mrs. Asbury Lee of Clearfield, Mr. and 
Mrs. Shimer of Bedford and "Bud" Hocking of Frostburg.
