SURIE M. MAUST

  Miss Surie M. Maust, born in Garrett County, Md., in 1877, on what was then 
known as the Smith farm, now a portion of the farm owned by the Misses Ada and 
Eva Maust, about 3 miles south of Salisbury, Pa.  She died very suddenly at the 
home of her brother-in-law and sister, Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Miller, in 
Salisbury, at 5:00 a.m., Sunday, March 2, 1941, at the age of 63 years, 5 months 
and 6 days.
  She had been suffering a long time from hardening of the arteries, but yet was 
able to do housework until a few weeks ago, when she came to the home where she 
died, and during her stay there was confined to bed.  A paralytic stroke ended 
all her suffering.
  Miss Maust was a daughter of the late James and Louise (Miller) Maust, who 
lived the greater portion of their lives within a mile of Salisbury, where Miss 
Surie grew to womanhood.  For the last 18 years preceding her death, she kept 
house for her brother, Edward, a resident of Summit Township, who had been left 
a widower with one child, by the death of his wife.
  She was a faithful member of the Church of the Brethren, and had many friends, 
because of her noble character.  She is survived by two brothers and one sister, 
namely, Edward, of Summit Township; Emma, wife of Norbert Miller, and John, both 
of Salisbury.
  Funeral was held Tuesday, at 3:00 p.m., and the services were conducted by 
Rev. A. Jay Replogle of Salisbury.
  Interment was in the Salisbury I.O.O.F. Cemetery, under the direction of 
Mortician Stanley M. Thomas of Salisbury.
