Menhorn, Fred

  Fred Menhorn died at the home of his brother-in-law, Lewis Miller, in 
Salisbury on Thursday afternoon, August 13th, at the age of 42 years. 10 months 
and 29 days after an illness of several weeks. The ailment seems to have been a 
start of typhoid fever, which later developed into a complication of diseases, 
finally terminating in Bright's disease. The remains were taken to Accident, Md. 
on Saturday morning and funeral services were held in the German Lutheran Church 
at that place on Sunday forenoon and interment was made in the Accident 
Cemetery. Mr. Menhorn was employed by Cook & Sechler, ever since they started 
their lumber operations along Tub Mill and was one of their most valued 
employees. He was a kind hearted man, honest in his dealings and a man of good 
habits in general. While in Salisbury he made his home at his sisters, Mrs. 
Lewis Miller, and made many friends. Deceased is survived by a number of 
brothers and sisters, his parents having preceded him to the spirit world. His 
surviving brothers are, Herman and William Menhorn and Mrs. Lewis Miller of 
Salisbury, Mrs. John Burkhardt, West Salisbury and Henry Menhorn of Elk Lick 
Township. If there are any others your correspondent's informant did not state.
