LOTTIE GREENAWALT RANDALLS

  The body of the above named woman, who was a native of Salisbury, was brought 
here by a Pittsburgh undertaker, and interred in the I.O.O.F. Cemetery under the 
direction of Stanley M. Thomas, local mortician, last Sunday afternoon.  The 
remains were accompanied by William Greenawalt, a brother of Mrs. Randalls.
  Enroute to Salisbury, the Pittsburgh undertaker in charge of the corpse had to 
borrow another undertaker's hearse in McKeesport, where his own was wrecked by 
striking or being struck by another motor vehicle.
  Mrs. Randalls died in Pittsburgh of a cerebral hemorrhage, last Friday, at the 
age of 75 years.  She was a daughter of Alfred and Melvina (Wagner) Greenawalt.
  The only other grave on the lot where Mrs. Randalls' body was interred is that 
of her mother.  The Alfred Greenawalt family left here some time during the 
"seventies", and of the numerous Wagner relatives now living very few remember 
much about where they went from here.  The only member of the Greenawalt family 
here at the burial of Mrs. Randalls left here hurriedly  after the burial.  The 
remains of Mrs. Alfred Greenawalt were shipped here for burial some years after 
the I.O.O.F. Cemetery came into existence.
  The writer has no clear recollection of any members of that family, except two 
of the sons, Silas and Peter, and their sister, Lottie, who died last week.  The 
family was still here in 1874.
