LILLIAN MEESE

  The body of Mrs. Lillian Meese, who died in Wilkinsburg, was brought to 
Meyerdale on Monday and interred in Union Cemetery.  The commital service was in 
charge of the Rev. Nelson C. Brown, pastor of Amity Evangelical and Reformed 
Church.
  The deceased was a daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Dom, former 
residents of Meyersdale, and was also the widow of the late Dr. John D. Meese, 
who passed away 25 years ago.  Dr. Meese will be remembered as one of 
Meyersdale's most prominent educators, having served as principal of the local 
schools, and was also founder and head of the Meyersdale Preparatory School, 
which was conducted in the building now occupied by Charles F. Jenkins and 
family on Main Street.  Dr. Meese, after leaving Meyersdale, served efficiently 
as superintendent of the California State Normal School.
  Surviving are two children, H. P. Meese, Swissvale; Mrs. H. P. Swartz, East 
McKeesport, and a brother, Oliver P. Dom, resides in Dawson.  Edgar Klingaman, 
who resides on Meyers Avenue, Meyersdale, was a nephew of the late Mrs. Meese.
