HENRY LIVENGOOD

  Henry Livengood, aged 58 years, eldest child of the late Elijah and Caroline 
Yoder Livengood, died at the home of his brother, D. W. Livengood, Salisbury's 
well known druggist, Monday afternoon, after a period of failing health lasting 
several weeks.
  With the exception of the last few days, Henry spent his entire life on what 
was originally known as the Henry Yoder farm, and later as the Elijah Livengood 
farm, now operated by Carleton Livengood, son of Joseph, and grandson of Elijah 
Livengood.  When he was a child three years old, he contracted a very malignant 
case of scarlet fever, and he never fully recovered from all of the bad after 
effects of that deadly malady, which utterly disqualified him for study in 
school, as he became older.  He was of a shy disposition, and ill at ease in 
presence of strangers.  However, he was quite useful in doing the chores about 
the barn, caring for the livestock, etc., and willingly doing what he could 
under the direction of the other members of the family, who were ever kind to 
him and considerate of his welfare and comfort.  Physically he became quite 
strong with advancing years, until recently he began to lose flesh and grow 
weaker from day to day.   Last Friday his brother, Daniel, had him brought to 
his home, where his only sister has been living since the death of her parents, 
and desired to help care for her unfortunate brother during his illness, and 
where he would be nearer to a doctor.  Everything possible was done for him, but 
he sank rapidly since Friday, and death soon followed.  
  He is survived by one sister and three brothers, as follows:  Miss Elizabeth 
Livengood, Abraham G. Livengood and Daniel W. Livengood of Salisbury, and Joseph 
Livengood of Grantsville, Md.
  The funeral was held Wednesday at 10 a.m., at the D. W. Livengood residence, 
conducted by Rev. Guy E. Wampler, pastor of the Salisbury Church of the 
Brethren.  The burial arrangement was in charge of Funeral Director W. C. Price 
of Meyersdale.  Interment in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery.
