THELMA PHILSON

  Miss Thelma Philson, aged 20 years, a granddaughter of Mrs. S. O. Philson, 
proprietress of the White Star Hotel, Jennerstown, died in the Memorial 
Hospital, Johnstown, last Friday afternoon.  The funeral was held at the White 
Star Hotel, Monday afternoon, conducted by Revs. E. H. Bonder, J. S. Shannon and 
C. W. Raley.  Miss Philson was a graduate of the Somerset High School, and was a 
bright, intelligent and popular young woman who will be missed in the community 
where she lived.  Her grandparents, with whom she had her home, some years ago 
resided at Coal Run, during which time her grandfather was employed at one of 
the mines in that vicinity.  He died several years ago, and was buried in the 
I.O.O.F. Cemetery at Salisbury, where the remains of Miss Thelma were also laid 
to rest Monday afternoon, the 26th inst.
  The funeral was largely attended, and many came to Salisbury in the funeral 
cortege to see the last sad rites performed at her grave.  The floral tributes 
were many, and very beautiful.
  Surviving Miss Philson are her mother, grandmother, and also her great-
grandmother, Mrs. Marcus May of Jennerstown, and the following named aunts and 
uncles:  William, John, Zo and Dorothy Philson, all living at the White Star 
Hotel; Mrs. Luther Lohr of Hooversville, Mrs. John Harclerode of Somerset, and 
Mrs. John Griffith of Jenners.
