PHILIP IMHOFF

  Philip Imhoff, 85, died at his home, 516 Main Street, Meyersdale, Thursday 
night, May 12, after a long illness.
  He was a retired railroad man, having worked for the B & O Railroad and the 
Western Maryland Railroad for 32 years.  He was watchman at the Main Street 
crossing of the Western Maryland for about 13 years.
  About five years ago an infection which had started in his foot necessitated 
the amputation of his leg.  About a year ago his other leg had to be removed.  
He was faithfully cared for by his wife, now 84 years of age, during his long 
illness.
  Mr. Imhoff was born in Berlin, Sept. 16, 1863, the son of William and Mary 
Imhoff.  In 1884 he married Miss Annie S. Weimer of Somerset, and together they 
came to Meyersdale to make their home.
  Besides his wife he is survived by three daughters, Mrs. Lydia Saylor, 
Meyersdale; Mrs. Hilda Beachy, Youngstown, O., and Mrs. Vera Gnagey, Akron.
  Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at the home, the Rev. Edwin C. 
Nagle, his pastor, officiating.  Interment was made in the Berlin IOOF cemetery, 
under the direction of H. R. Konhaus, Meyersdale.
