MARGARET NEWMAN

  Miss Margaret Newman died in Hazel McGilvery Hospital in Meyersdale at 1 p.m. 
on Tuesday, Nov. 16, after an illness of several weeks.  Miss Newman had been in 
failing health for a number of years because of a heart condition, which 
recently turned serious.  She was a former telephone operator in both Salisbury 
and Grantsville, but had been unable to work for several years because of her 
health.
  She was born in Salisbury on June 19, 1894, a daughter of Mary (Smalley) and 
Asa B. Newman, and was 54 years, five months and 27 days in age at her death.  
She is survived by one brother, Hobart Newman of Akron, O.; and by three 
sisters: Mrs. Alice Welfley, Salisbury; Mrs. Pearl McClain, Picture Rocks, Pa., 
and  Mrs. Irene Koch, Saxton, Pa.
  Funeral services were conducted at the home of Mrs. Welfley at 2:30 p.m. on 
Thursday, Nov. 18, with her pastor, the Rev. Ira S. Monn of St. John's Reformed 
Church, officiating.  Interment was made in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery in charge of 
Mortician Stanley M. Thomas.
