SARAH ELIZABETH KELLER

  Sarah Elizabeth Keller, born in Salisbury, Nov. 3, 1908, died very suddenly 
and unexpectedly in the Keystone Hospital, Harrisburg, July 11, 1941.  Her death 
was caused by a coronary embolism.  She had been taken to the hospital for what 
seemed to be an ailment of the kidneys; but her condition was not considered 
serious.  She was taken to the hospital at 11 a.m., and died four and a half 
hours later. 
  Miss Keller was a daughter of Mrs. Adaline Keller of Salisbury, and the late 
Warren D. Keller, who died some years ago in Philadelphia, where the family 
lived at that time.  She is survived by her mother and one brother, Lee Keller, 
the latter of Pittsburgh.
  At the time Miss Keller was taken ill she was employed as a filing clerk in 
Harrisburg, by the National Youth Administration.  She was intelligent, 
energetic, and well thought of.
  The funeral services were held at the home of her aunts, the Misses Edith and 
Almira Lichliter, and was conducted by Rev. S. D. Sigler, pastor of St. John's 
Lutheran church.
  Among the many who attended the funeral were Mrs. R. L. Gowan and Mrs. William 
Erwin of Philadelphia; Levi G. Lichliter and family, Heil Lichliter and family 
of Harrisburg; Mr. and Mrs. David Lichliter of Boswell; George Keller and family 
of Geistown; Jerry Keller and Mrs. Sidney Berkebile of Kemmelton; Mr. and Mrs. 
James Will of Somerset, R.D.; Mrs. C. J. Shoemaker and children of Hooversville; 
Charles Keller and family of Pittsburgh; Mrs. Noah Lohr, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. 
Diehl of Wilkinsburg; Mr. and Mrs. Lester Boucher, Mr. and Mrs. A. F. Bender, 
and Miss Fay Pyle of Somerset; George Barchus of Damascus, Va., and Mrs. Melissa 
Boucher of Grantsville, Md.
  There were many beautiful floral tributes from far and near and interment was 
in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of Stanley M. Thomas, 
local mortician.
