JAMES M. MAYSE

  Funeral services for James M. Mayse, 71, who died of a heart attack last 
Saturday at the home of his son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. John Schrock 
of Gray, were conducted at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Schrock home by Rev. Paul 
Trimpey, pastor of the Hopewell Methodist Church.  Burial took place in the 
Reformed Church Cemetery, Jennerstown, under the direction of Jay O. Hay, 
Boswell mortician.  Boswell I.O.O.F. Lodge conducted rites at the grave.
  Mr. Mayse was born in West Virginia on Mar. 1, 1874.  He came to Pennsylvania 
in 1902 and had worked for the Consolidated Coal Company as watchman and police 
officer until his retirement last Jan. 1.  He had been a constable in Jenner 
Twp. for 24 years.
  Surviving are his wife, the former Julia Rauch; a daughter, Mrs. Emiline 
Schrock, at whose home he died; a son, Master Sgt. James M. Mayse, Jr., with the 
Army in Czechoslovakia, and three grandchildren.
  Mr. and Mrs. Mayse had spent several months in Florida, returning to Gray just 
last week.
  Constable Mayse had a county-wide reputation as an efficient guardian of the 
peace and sterling citizen.  His namesake son was employed in the Bureau of 
Vital Statistics in Harrisburg and with the engineering staff of the State 
Highway Department before he enlisted in the army soon after Japan and Germany 
declared war against the United States.
