Nathan, Peter

  Squire Peter Nathan, highly esteemed and well known of Grantsville, died at 
his home on May 24th after an illness of about a year, followed by a paralytic 
stroke a week preceding his death. The cause of his death was due to 
complication of diseases chiefly cirrhosis of the arteries. He had undergone 
treatment at the Allegany Hospital in Cumberland and the St. Agnes Hospital at 
Baltimore. He was almost 69 yrs. of age and a native of the village. He was 
unmarried and is survived by one brother, ex-Postmaster Michael Nathan; two 
sisters, Mrs. Mary Miller of Grantsville at present recovering from an operation 
of a serious character and Mrs. Margaret Fuller, Detroit, Mich.; also number of 
nieces and nephews. His household consisted of himself and Miss Gertie Ho, who 
also attended to his household affairs and a grand-niece, Miss Marie Conner, 
both finding beneath his roof the affection of a father at all times. He was a 
member of St. Stephen's Catholic Church from which place the funeral was held on 
Friday morning. The pall bearers, active and honorary, were taken from among his 
friends and fellow directors in the First State Bank. The funeral was largely 
attended. Interment was made in the old village cemetery.
