MARY JANE INKS

  Miss Mary Jane Inks, who was an invalid from the time she was 19 years of age, 
died very suddenly at the home of her sister, Mrs. Nannie Beal, Thursday, May 
15, 1930, of a complication of ailments.  Over a year ago she was injured very 
badly by falling, which resulted in partial paralysis, and for a considerable 
time before her death she was unable to walk.  In spite of the fact that she was 
an invalid most of her life, she lived to the age of 73 years, 10 months and 1 
day.
  Miss Inks was born and reared in Garrett County, Md., and was a daughter of 
the late George and Elizabeth Jane McCartney Inks.  She was a member of a large 
family of children, most of whom have died, but is survived by one brother and 
two sisters, namely, George Inks, of Frostburg, Md.; Mrs. Nannie Beal, of 
Salisbury, and Mrs. William Penn, of Black River Falls, Wis.
  For many years following the death of her parents, Miss Inks resided in 
Salisbury, making her home with Mrs. Beal, and at intervals with other blood 
relatives.
  She became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church early in life, and 
remained faithful to its tenets to the end.  During the last year of her life 
she realized that her death was not far off, but was completely resigned, felt 
fully prepared for the change, and often expressed the hope that death would 
come to her relief soon.  She was a person of kindly disposition, and always did 
the best she knew.  Mrs. Beal, the sister at whose home she died, always made 
her as comfortable and happy as she could, and friends and neighbors also showed 
kindly consideration for her, and assisted Mrs. Beal to such an extent that she 
will ever remember their neighborly kindness and helpfulness.
   The funeral was held last Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock, Rev. Paul Trimpey, 
her pastor, officiating.  The burial arrangement was in charge of Funeral 
Director W. C. Price of Meyersdale.  Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. 
Cemetery.
