EMMA GARLETS LAYMAN

  Mrs. Emma Garlets Layman, 57, died at 1 a.m., September 26, at her home in 
Daleville, Va.  She was born in Greenville Township, Somerset County, Pa., the 
daughter of Jesse Garlets and Barbara Ellen Garlets Cober.
  She was educated in the schools of Meyersdale and attended Juanita College, 
Huntingdon, Pa.

27, 1937.
  Mrs. Layman's funeral services were held just nine years to the day after the

  Her broad sympathy and neighborliness won for her a very wide circle of 
friends.  Her interest in her church (Church of the Brethren) was manifested in 
regular attendance.  She attended Sunday school and church services the Sunday 
before her death.
  On the last Tuesday preceding her death, she motored to Eagle Rock, Va., and 
spent the night with her daughter, and returned home Wednesday morning.  In the 
afternoon she visited the packing house on the farm and drove to the store.
  She was stricken that night at 12 o'clock and died one hour later, at 1:00 
a.m., September 26.
  Surviving are her mother, Mrs. Barbara Cober, of Daleville, Va.; two brothers, 
W. H. Garlets of Tampa, Fla.; and R. L. Garlets, Roanoke, Va.; two sons, I. D. 
Layman, Jr., and Robert E. Layman, of Daleville, one daughter, Mrs. E. R. Allen, 
of Eagle Rock, Va., and two grandchildren.
