---

  One of the county's venerable and estimable residents, died on Sunday at the 
home of her daughter, Mrs. Mary Hickok, at Wichita, in Kansas, where she had 
gone a month ago on a visit. Mrs. Lichty had undergone an operation shortly 
before her death and pneumonia developed which suddenly ended her life. Mrs. 
Lichty was aged 77 years, 1 month and 3 days. Her husband was David Lichty, who 
died Sept. 21, 1912. There survive to call her blessed, of all her children: Dr. 
Bruce Lichty, of Meyersdale; Ross Lichty and Mrs. Annie Beachy, of Carleton, 
Kansas; Stewart Lichty and Harvey Lichty, of Wellington, Kansas, Mrs. Hickok, 
Wichita, Kansas and Mrs. Frank Petry, of Salisburg, (Salisbury?) with whom she 
lived most of the time. The deceased was for 37 years a faithful member of the 
Church of the Brethren. The remains arrived in this place today and were taken 
to the home of her son, Dr. Lichty on Meyers Avenue, where funeral services were 
held conducted by Rev. Wm. Howe, following which interment was made in the Union 
Cemetery beside her husband.
