EARL BENSON LANGLEY

  Earl Benson Langley, 51, better known as Jack Langley, editor and publisher of 
the Town Crier, Berlin's semi-monthly newspaper, died last Sunday morning in the 
Windber Hospital, where he underwent an operation last Thursday.
  Born in Troy, N.Y., Mr. Langley was educated there and for many years prior to 
coming to Somerset County, 15 years ago, was associated with one of the largest 
advertising firms in the East.
  For a number of years he served as advertising man and window decorator for 
the George W. Schenk store in Somerset.  Later he served as special advertising 
manager of the Somerset Daily American and for the Somerset County Times.
  Eighteen months ago Mr. Langley started publication of the Town Crier in 
Berlin.
  Surviving are three sons - Sgt. Philip, stationed in Arizona, and who flew 
from Arizona to Pittsburgh after being advised of his father's death; Lt. 
Donald, pilot of a bomber, now on cross-country flying maneuvers in this 
country, and Robert.
  Funeral services were held in the Somerset United Brethren Church, by Rev. H. 
F. Bungard, D.D., and Rev. I. F. Woodrow, pastor of the Church of Christ in 
Somerset.  Interment in Somerset County Memorial Park.
