ZOURIE HOSTETLER

  Mrs. Zourie (Faidley) Hostetler, 53, wife of Maurice Hostetler, passed away in 
the Hazel McGilvery Hospital, Feb. 3, 1941, after an illness of two weeks.
  Zourie Faidley Hostetler was born near Meyersdale on March 1, 1887, the 
daughter of Zachariah and Maggie (Smith) Faidley, both deceased.  Early in her 
youth she became a member of the Brethren Church at Summit Mills, and later 
transferred her membership to the Main Street Brethren Church.
  Surviving are her husband and these children: Ward Hostetler, Somerset, R.D.; 
Claude and Maxine Hostetler, both at home.  One daughter, Anna Frances, preceded 
her in death.  She also leaves a grandson, Thomas Wayne Hostetler, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Emanuel Berkley, Somerset, and Mrs. Bertha Sechler, Somerset, R.D.
  Mrs. Hostetler had a kind, friendly disposition, which won her many friends.  
Her's was indeed a life of service, for she was never happier than when she 
could be doing something for others.  She locked her own cares and worries away, 
and opened her heart to the burdens of others.  The bereaved family, relatives 
and friends, have the blessed comfort of knowing that through her life of 
helpfulness and labors of love, she had stored up many treasures in heaven, 
"where moth and rust do not corrupt," and she has now been called home to reap 
her rewards.
  Funeral services will be conducted at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon at the 
Hostetler home by the Rev. N. V. Leatherman of the Berlin Brethren Church.  
Interment will be in Union Cemetery under the direction of H. R. Konhaus, 
Meyersdale mortician.
