Reitz, Mary Buechley

  Mrs. Mary Buechley Reitz, believed to be the oldest woman in Somerset County, 
died Tuesday April 26, at her home in Friedens, aged 95 years. She was the 
second wife of the late Geo. Reitz. She made her home for many years at the 
residence of Christian Blough, of Friedens, who is 93 years old. They were 
critically ill at the same time, but Mr. Blough is on the road to recovery. No 
children survive Mrs. Reitz; but her step-children are Albert Trent, of 
Westmont; Howard Schmucker and Silas Cobaugh, both of Johnstown. The funeral 
services were held at ten o'clock Thursday morning at the Rayman Church of the 
Brethren with interment in the nearby cemetery.
