GRACE LININGER

  Miss Grace Lininger, aged 46 years, died in the Miami Hospital at Dayton, 
Ohio, on Monday, November 30, following an operation for appendicitis which she 
underwent on Friday, November 27.  She was the daughter of the late Luther and 
Amanda Lininger, who many years ago operated the Castle Lininger, just across 
the Yough River from Confluence.  She was the youngest of a family of nine 
children.  She attended the High School here.  After her father's death in 1910 
she and her mother went to Dayton, Ohio, to reside with her brothers-in-law and 
sisters, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Reigel and Mr. and Mrs. Bruce Mitchell.  Soon 
afterwards they were joined at Dayton by another brother-in-law and sister, Mr. 
and Mrs. John Trentle, and when later the Reigels and Mitchells moved to 
Detroit, Mich., Grace and her mother remained with the Trentles at Dayton.  
Being a graduate of Duff's Business College in Pittsburgh, Grace was able to 
secure a position as secretary to the vice president of the Traler Company's 
large department store in Dayton, where she was employed for nine years.  Later 
she went to Columbus, Ohio, where she had charge of the jewelry department of a 
large store there for three years.  After her mother's death in 1926 Grace went 
to Detroit, Mich., to reside with her sisters, Alice Reigel and Margaret 
Mitchell and where she was an employee of the Williams stores for several years.  
Just recently she went to Dayton to visit her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and 
Mrs. John Trentle.  Becoming very ill on Thursday, November 26, she was hastily 
removed to the hospital and on Friday underwent the operation.  Never very 
robust but rather frail all through life she was unable to survive the operation 
and while everything was done to save her life she passed away on Monday.  Her 
sister, Mrs. Trentle, and her niece, Mrs. Genevive Marshall, a trained nurse, 
where at her bedside until the last.  
  Besides her sisters above mentioned she is survived by a brother, Dick 
Lininger of Detroit.  Mrs. Laura McDonald of Confluence and Mrs. Ida Hetrick of 
Addison are aunts.  In addition to her parents she was preceded in death by 
three brothers and one sister, as follows: Dr. George Lininger; Clarence 
Lininger and Thomas F. Lininger and Lucy Lininger.  Burial took place at Dayton, 
Ohio.
