CLARENCE PETER LOHR

  Clarence Peter Lohr died December 24, 1931, after undergoing an operation at 
the Hazel McGilvery Hospital in Meyersdale, at the age of 41 years, 5 months and 
17 days.
  He was born in Garrett County, Maryland, and at the age of 18, after both his 
parents had died, he, with six of his brothers and sisters, located at Springs, 
Pa.  Here he nobly played the part of an elder brother by contributing 
practically all of his earnings for the support of his younger brothers and 
sisters.
  On January 12, 1919, he was married to Ruth Peck, daughter of Jonas Peck of 
Maple Glen.  He is survived by his wife and three young daughters.  One son, 
about three years old, preceded him in death, as did an older brother, Daniel. 
He is survived by the following brothers and sisters, also:  Mary Lohr, of 
Springs; Mrs. H. A. Schaefer, Grantsville; Fred Lohr and Mrs. Ernest Miller, 
Lancaster; Mrs. Homer Durst, Salisbury; Charles Lohr, Turtle Creek; Mrs. D. L. 
Miller, Springs, and Walter Lohr, who is in the Navy with the Special Service 
Squadron.
  The funeral was held in the Springs Mennonite Church on Saturday, December 26.  
Rev. Guy E. Wampler of Salisbury, assisted by Rev. G. D. Miller, conducted the 
services.
  Mr. Lohr died a young man, but his experience in the cares and sorrows of life 
was beyond many of twice his age.  Both his parents died before they reached the 
period of middle life; his wife had several surgical operations, but the saddest 
experience of his life came when his little boy, to whom he was devoutedly 
attached, died after a brief illness.  He was kind and industrious, of genial 
disposition, always greeting people with a smile - a man with no enemies.
