ISAAC W. MAUST

Garrett County, Maryland

  Isaac W. Maust, aged 60, well known farmer in this section, died at his home 
near here, early Thursday morning, March 14.  Although he had suffered from 
chronic myocarditis, a heart ailment, for many years, his condition had not been 
considered critical until about two months ago.
  Mr. Maust was born in Preston County, W.Va., June 28, 1880.  He was a son of 
Jacob H. and Irene Sisler Maust, natives of West Virginia.  He later moved into 
this community and had spent practically all of his life here.  For many years 
Mr. Maust successfully operated a farm about five miles west of here, just over 
the Somerset County line.  He was also connected with the Springs Mutual 
Telephone Company for a time but disposed of this interest several years ago.  
He had a wide acquaintance throughout this section and was highly esteemed.
  On October 31, 1904, he married Miss Cora Folk, of this community.  She and 
their five children survive.  They are Vernon Maust, Springs, Walter Maust, Fort 
Hill, Mrs. Claude Folk, Grantsville, Carl and Mary Maust, at home.  He also 
leaves one brother, Walter Maust, four sisters, Sadie, Anne, Ida and Mabel 
Maust, all of Pittsburgh, and two grandchildren.  He had been a member of the 
Maple Glenn Church of the Brethren since early childhood.  Funeral services were 
held Saturday morning.
