Mervine, Stewart William

"Stewart William Mervine" Son of Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Mervine of 114 Center 
Street, Meyersdale died on Wednesday morning about 9 o'clock from tubercular 
trouble from which he had been an invalid for the past three years. He had in 
that time been at the sanitarium at Mont Alto and also at Cresson having 
returned from the latter place last April; as he grew worse and as he knew his 
days would not be so many on earth, he wanted to be with mother. On awakening on 
Wednesday morning he remarked to his mother that he had such a good night's 
rest. A little later when his mother took up his breakfast to him she perceived 
that he was nearing the end of his course as he could not talk. The family 
doctor was summoned but to no avail. By occupation he was a cigar maker having 
worked at Washington, D. C., Uniontown and Wheeling. He was born at Berlin, this 
county 27 years ago, and besides his parents there survive four sisters and one 
brother namely - Mrs. Marion Chambers, Mrs. Fred Maidens, both of Washington D. 
C.; Mrs. Joseph Quinn and Miss Elizabeth at home; Bert Mervine of Wheeling, W. 
Va.; a wife and little son are living at Uniontown. The deceased was a member of 
the Lutheran Church of this place and was well esteemed. His pastor, Rev. D. W. 
Michael will conduct the funeral services on Friday at one o'clock, interment to 
be made at Berlin.
