Livengood, Jere J.

"Jere J. Livengood" One of the oldest and most respected citizen of Salisbury, 
died very suddenly on Monday afternoon. Mr. Livengood had not been ill, but 
complained during the day of not feeling very well. He walked about town for a 
few hours before death. It is supposed that acute indigestion and heart trouble 
brought about the sudden demise. The deceased was in his 82nd year and just a 
few months ago retired from the blacksmith and carriage making trade at which he 
had worked all of his life. Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon at 
2 o'clock from the house of his daughter, Mrs. Frank Stotler, where he and his 
surviving wife had made their home for several years. His pastor, Elder George 
Yoder officiated at the service and interment was made in the Odd Fellows 
Cemetery. Besides his aged invalid wife, Mr. Livengood is survived by the 
following sons and daughters: Mrs. Wm. Williams, of Johnstown; Mrs. Frank 
Statler (Stotler?), Mrs. R. A. Kidner; and Samuel Livengood, of Salisbury, and 
Marshall Livengood, of Meyersdale. One sister, Miss Mary Livengood now of Ohio, 
and known best as "Blind Mary," and two brothers, Jno. J. Livengood and Peter J. 
Livengood of Salisbury, also survive.
