SUSAN HOLIDAY

  Susan Holiday, aged 18 years, an invalid and cripple since quite young, died 
about the noon hour. Tuesday, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jesse 
Holiday, who some months ago moved from Negro Mountain to Salisbury.  The family 
has been in dire distress for some time, and dependent to a great extent upon 
such assistance as the community and individuals have been giving them.
  Susan was badly injured some years ago, when she was the victim of a coasting 
accident, which made her a cripple for the remainder of her life.  In addition 
to that, she suffered intensely at times from an inward goitre, or some trouble 
akin to that malady, which poisoned her entire system.  In spite of her physical 
handicaps, however, she always did such work as she was able to do, and was 
doing some work for Mrs. Mary Wetmiller only a day or two before she died.
  Deceased is survived by three sisters and two brothers, and also by her 
parents.  She was a member of the Church of the Brethren, and the funeral 
service was held at the Salisbury church of that denomination, this (Thursday) 
afternoon.  The writer leaving town to help in the editorial office of this 
paper soon after learning of Miss Holiday's death, learned no further 
particulars about it.
